which unintelligent sight-seers in this and
other countries, are" put upon" by interested
guides, often as ignorant as themselves,
told us an illustrative incident, for which,
however, he did not vouch:
A rustic visitor at Rye House, while be-

being duly whetted, he went after mystic
riOns key, and still preserving the startled
look Of a conspirator, risking much for our
sakes, led us through AN old iron door into
a mouldy basement, where, in great room
we found the appliances Of modern gym

meant, our guide informed US that the an

THE Bar Association which met in
Louisville, last week, seemed TO think
Of something else besides eating and
drinking, though that formed con.
siderable part Of the programme. The
questions discussed were those Of an
important character and il is hoped
that their agitation may lead to the
much needed changes demanded.
Judge Barr read paper advocating
certain improvements in our jury sys.
tenn, on which, by the way, this paper
has repeatedly expressed itself. In
the first place he thinks that the Sher-
i'll should not be allowed to summon
jurors from the bystanders. as this al
lows the use OF professionals, who
hang around Courthouse for the pur-
pose Of turning penny by hanging
jury. Neither does he think that ju.
rors should be selected for a pending
trial as this gives an opportunity to
pack a jury. AT present the State
has but five peremptory challenges,
while an accused has twenty. This
leaves the State almost at the mercy
Of the defense and is the real cause of
the many worthless and incompetent
juries being foisted on the country.
He believes like all honest thinking
men that an equal number of chal-
lenges should be the law. The word
"vicinage" ought to be left out of the
jury provisions in the bill of rights
and "a speedy trial by an impartial
jury" alone be assured. As it at
present stands the jury system is an
impediment to the endorsements Of the
laws and there is constantly increas-
ing dissatisfaction with it. Our next
legislature should do all in its power
to remedy the existing evils of the
system and change the law so that a
majority of jury shall bring in a
verdict. The absurd law which makes
one bull.headed man count more than
eleven more competent ones, is a rel
let of the past that ought to be buried
with it.

low flung idiot. rode through the
streets of Sheppardsville, without a

was arrested and tried for breach of
