In was noted in Australia, in
her convict days, that the ticket
of-leavers who went into trade
were much more punctiliously hon.
est than the average tradesman.
They felt that they were the OBJ
jects of jealous notice, and that
numbers were waiting to catch
them tripping,and exclaim, ''Didn't
tell you 500" Looking at the
heavy percentage OF these men
who become exemplary citizens
and fathers of worthy families, il
is a matter for profound regret
that the system had to be aban-
doned. The convict in England
to-day is, as here, continually driv-
EN- back against his better self into
crime and breeds a criminal fami.

of citizens wealthy, honored, and
highly educated, who but for theil

= Lame Argument.


DIR. HAMMOND in a recent
article in the North american
Rerjcr, declared that woman's
organization incapacitates her from
telling the truth, citing in illustra-
ton that she viii begin by telling
her doctor that she hasn't eaten
anything for breakfast, and after
cross-examination admits cup of
coffee, roll, aud an egg, which
''wasn't eating anything" After
such ungallant aud untruthful as
sertion DR.. Hammond proceeds 10
liken the brain Of women to that
Of the lower animals, and - de
duce from . supposed inferiority
Of quantity and quality Of what he
calls "the mind-producing organ" /"
woman's unftness to exercise
equal political rights. Mans
brain is larger and superior in
structure, therefore be has more
mind. To be sure, in proportion
to the weight Of the body, there is
very little difference between the
sexes, but that fact IS quickly
brushed aside. The fact that
some very unintellectual men have
very heavy brains, and that some
very intellectual men like Emer-
son and Gamhetts) have very
small ones, is ignored; and the
learned doctor remands woman 10
political subjection by pompous
parade OF weights and measures.
Indeed, we wonder that Dr.. Ham
mond does not propose To abolish
republican government altogether,
and to substitute for suffrage a
civil service examination TO ascer-
tain the comparative size and
structure of brains. pom
his theory craniology should
take the place of political
science. We should award the
presidency to the possessor Of
the largest skull, and choose our
governors, congresses and legisla-
lures by superior dimensions OF
heads, certified by a board Of ex-
aminers presided over by the IL
lustrious discoverer. There are
plenty of arguments against wo-
man suffrage, just as there were
against abolition, but such at
tempts as DIR. HammOud's, even
though he gain an audience in the
Reric,r, cannot injure The cause
very much.

Trial by Jury.

The jury, like everything else,
will OH the whole reflect the aver
age character Of people. Make
the people better and better juries
will be the result Hesterd0y'S
Oregonio1.
AND that is about the fact.
Iconoclastic tendencies may weak
en- the popular regard for the jury
system, but to correct its abuse
will be better than TO decry sys-
TEN that exists because il cannot
well be supplanted. Numberless
have been the suggestions con-
cerning different devices to decide
questions at issue, and most glar-
ing are the deficiencies that mar
the workings of our jury system,
but like the pen with which we
write. or the needle with which we
sew. but little Improvement has
been mace for a thousand years.
and the best that can be said Of
them is that they are better than
the appliances which they super
ceded.
The trial by jury means an open
and public trial before twelve i'm
partial men, temporarily selected
from the mass Of their fellow citi-
zens, and presided over by mag
iStrate; their function is, under his
direction, to determineGn Oregon)
bv unanimous verdict, in civil
cases, such issues OF fact as are
submitted by the court to their de-
cision: in criminal cases to find
the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused by a general verdict Of
guilty or not guilty. In theory it
is splendid scheme: in practice,
as the present session of the court
for Clatsop county sadly demon
strates, il is a failure.
But while we condemn iii part
the pernicious tendency OF a jury
to disregard facts and pervert per
sonal action, il must be rcmem-
bered, in general, that there are
necessary adjuncts. 4 good jury
requires an intelligent, discrimi-
mating Judge: it requires good
material in the composition of the
jury itself. Here, IN our opinion,
is the great defect, the fatal
weakness.
We ali shrink from jury duty;
no man whose time is worth any
thing wants to sit on jury; all
sorts Of lodges and excuses are
used and made to shirk the dis
tasteful duty; it is human nature,
but it is not right. The result, as
any one must see, is to allow men
TO naturally fill places in tie jury
box that a man in his private bust
ness would sometimes hesitate
about intrusting with business in
terests. What man that reads
this but recognizes the trath? We
have known instances where men
of good standing and respectable
ty, and more than ordinary consci-
entiousness have put a little mon
ey where it would do the most
good in the hope of keeping OF
the jury list. We are talking now
oil something that occurred a thou
sand miles from here, and mention
it to illustrate the feeling that the
average citizen has toward serving
on a jury. This is the great
trouble, and till men take a pride
in this matter. till men can be in
duced to look upon it as matter
of business interest, and essential
to their individual and communi-
ty prosperity, the jury system of
the United States will be re-
proach and discredit to our civil
lization.

FROGS AS A TABLE DELuCAcY.
A New Trade That Has Sprung Up I'm
the States Down East,

From the 30 ton Post.
Within the past few years the demand for
frogs as ON article Of food has steadily increased
and many people to-day rate frog. legs very
highly as a table delicacy. Many of these per-
sons few years ago would have hesitated for
some time before accepting the delicious ba-
traehians in their bin of fare. Within the past
winter this demand has been with difficulty
met, and from all appearances the coming sea-
son will be very prosperous and profitable
one for the frog dealers. The catching season
has already opened, ana Mr.. j. NJ. Beck, the
LARGEST dealer in the state and probably in the
ccnntry, has engaged nearly one hundred men
III the several New England states to catch for
him tie coming season. and he estimates that
the demand this summer will be double that of
the last year. Many hotels that formerly had
frogs only during the summer ere now making
contracts for them the year round.
An attempt was made last summer to send
live frogs to England, and the first attempt was
watched with considerable interest, as it was
doubtful if the attempt would result success
fully. The frogs We're properly selected and
special attention was given to their care and
feeding during the long sea voyage The first
lot of animals sent arrived in England in the
best OF condition. having stood the voyage
remarkably WE'LL and the mortality was very
Slight. During the summer several other at
tenpts were made and the results Of all were
perfectly successful. These lots were designed
for hospitals. and were sent on special orders
for surgical experiments. Some were dressed
and eaten, and a demand in small way was
Immediately started. The green frog, or, as he
is generally known. the bull frog. Is not a

bcrs. so that they can be used for food. To this

Ex-senator Conkling is still noticeable fig
ure in New York. These warm May afternoons,
when the avenues are filed with crowds of FASH
ionably dressed people, Mr.. COnkling often may
be seen walking mp town from his office, with a
law book under his arm, his long, heavy over
coat. outtoned closely about the waist and
opened across the breast, in way that gives
him peculiarly pulled up appearance. I mo-
ticed him at the Brunswick tonight eating his
dinner. solitary and alone. His hair and beard
have almost entirely whitened In the past year.
and there is 8 perceptibe increase in his weight
gained at n serious loss to his figure He dimes
at the Brunswick regularly, and is often accom-
panied by one or two Young men, who seem to
sit and sip in admiration of this patron Mr.
Conkiing still seems to command attention. He
would probably die without it, When he rises
from dinner the attendant naturally takes down
Mr.. Conkling's coat prepared to assist him in
donning it. If Mr.. ConkliIg happens to be
reading newspaper the waiter must hold the
coat until Mr.. Conklin. finishes the paragraph
In the meanwhile the eyes Of half the people in
the room being on the ex-senator he quietly
folds his paper and relieves the patient waiter Of
his burden. By this time Mr.. Conklng is ready
to leave his table. and he parades slowly down
the long dining room. bowling to such Of his ac-
quaintances as are present and departs. The

The mighty waters rock the land,

My freighted ship-perchance the gale
Gives battle to her swelling sail
Her heaving charger meets the blow
And plungeS painting back;
The current swimS beneath her keel
Her scarlet banners writhe and reel,
And N the foaming flood below
The waters circle black
Or yet a thousand leagues from shore,
The red flames eat her to the core;
She leaps IN all her blaZoned gold
Along the Kissing tide
A treasure for the han1 OF Time,
And rushing threugh the empty hold
The ocean claims the bride.
