The C0IOred Juryman.

Gen. thomas Harrison, who was
commander of a Texas regiment dur
ing Is war, and known by the boys
as the "Jim Town Major" was soon
after the war elected judge of one of
the districts of Texas. Shortly after
his election he visited one of the
counties in his district for the pur-
pose of holding his court. He arrived
at the county town on Sunday even
ing, and sent for the sheriff and asked
him if jury had been summoned for
the court, and if any upon the jury
were colored.
The sheriff replied he had sum-
moned a jury, but there were no col
ored men on the jury, and but few in
the county. Judge Harrison told him,
under the recent order of the depart
ment commander, no legal jury could
be impauneled unless one or more
negroes were on it, and ordered him
to have some negroes in attendance
on the following morning, to be placed
upon the jury. The sheriff, after some
trouble, succeeded in finding three or
four negroes, and upon organizing the
court Judge Harrison placed one on
each jury.
About the first case called was one
against a party for murder. After
hearing the evidence, arguments of
counsel, and charge of the court, the
jury started down stairs to consider
their verdict, the colored juror hap
pening to be in the rear. Following
them was the att0 ney for the defend
ant. !. AT the head IF the stairs (and in
hearing of the colored juror the at
torDey was asked by friend how he
thought the case would be decided.
The reply was, 81 think the defendant
will be acquitted or the jury will be
hung"
The jury went down the steps and
out in the yard, and upon looking
around the colored member was miss
ing. Upon investigation. they saw
him making ? 40 time in the direction
OF the brush. The sheriff was called;
and, after gorous pursuit, Mr.. Ju-
Tor was captured and brought before
the court and asked why he had run
away. His reply was, "He had heard
a gentleman say il the man wasn't
cleared the jury would be hung, and
as he hadn't done nothing he didn't
want to take any char ces."2Ex.

THE SPEAKER.

In our last issue there appeared a
condensed history of the life of Mr..
Carlisle, now speaker of the House of
Representatives. 1t is said of him
that he is unexceptionally qualified fol
the position to which he has been ele-
waited /; that he is the superior in this
respect of any man in the House, not
excepting either Mr.. Randall or Mr.
Cox, who are both very great parli-
amentarians. Besides being such an
accomplished presiding officer, he is
said to be cool and deliberate in the
extreme, which cannot be said OF
either CT the other two gentlemen
named. He is summed up as fol.
lows Never untrue to his party, he
has that fortunate judicial quality
which makes him always fair, so that
in gaining the respect of his political
opponents he has strengthened his
power of control as presiding officer
Honoring his unqueStioned ability
and respecting his unyarying fairness,
the Republican side of the House
would be more completely under his
command than it could possibly be
under that of any other man the Dem
ocrats could put in the chair. 1t is
rare good fortune, therefore, that this

Animal Affections.

The affection that strange and in
congruous animals manifest for each
other is something that is peculiar
and almost unaccountable. Cats fire.
quently become, attached to horses,
which will allow them to sit in their
stalls on their managers by the hour.
The parental feeling is ever stronger
in animals th.ln the conjugal. Even
the most peaceable animal mother,
which shrinks and fees at the ap-
proach of danger, will when her
young ones are threatened become
violent and act decidedly on the de-
fensive, if not aggressive. Many a
School-boy knows this who has at
tempted to pick up the chickens of an
old hen, and had his eyes nearly pick
ed out for the trouble. The thrush
will fight the magpie during breeding
season, and Swanson speaks of pair
of ravens in the cavity of the rock at
Gibraltar who would never suffer a
vulture or eagle to approach, but
would drive them away with every
appear ance Of fury. The tiny cit
mouse will be captured before it will
desert her young, and sometimes his
ses like d snake to scare animals off.
The partridge has most ingenious
way Of defending her young. When
the dogs approach she leads them off
by flying low, and leading them to
think they will soon catch her. One
would imagine she was lame to see
her fly. Thus she leads them off from
her young. One OF the most remarkable
cases of strange friendship was of
cat belonging to !. Smith, the sher-
IF of Loleham. :; > had been de-
prived of her kittena, Ill but one, and
her milk probably lncommoded her.
One evening as the family were seat
ed by the fire, and pussy lay upon the
rug, they noticed a mouse make its
way from the cupboard and lay down
on the stomach of the cat, as if it was
going to suck. Surprised at what
they saw, they did not ascertain
for fear of disturbing the mouse,
These visits were repeated and
and the strangest part of 1t was
that the cat seemed to expect them,
for 1t uttered sort of greeting purr,
by their kittens. When the cat had
been absent from the room for some
time, she uttered her purring, and the
mouse ran out from the cupboard and
got her supper. The fate of the
mouse was, however, a melancholy
one. A strange cat got into the room
which did not understand this nurse
arrangement between the mouse and
the regular ca, and, surprising it to
be her old friend, the mouse came out
and was speedily grabbed by the new
cat. When the old cat returned she
called for the mouse, and, he not re-
turning, she manifested the greatest
distress.

The American Boy.


What shall be done with the boys?
that now confrontS the American
parent. The American father is cen
sured by every census report for not
raising more children, and invidi-
Gus comparisons are made between
his own and the family of the foreign
born citizen across the street, while
for his own part he is at his wits end
to know what he shall do with the
two or three rollicking young fellows
already on his hands. Ifhe is wealthy,
and would be glad to see the boys go
through college and adopt some one
of the Learned profession" for a live
lihood, the youngsters are either op-
posed to it themselves on general
principles, or those polite callings are
all so full already that there is not
room even in the upper stories, where
Daniel Webster is quoted as saying
there are always plenty of vacancies.
If he thinks of teaching them trades
he is met with still greater opposi-
ton. He can find plenty of colleges
and universities in the land which
will gladly undertake the pleasing
task of graduating his boys for rea-
sonable consideration in ready cash,
but if he wishes to apprentice them to
some useful employment he finds op-
position where he least expected it.
His plan is objected to, first, by the
family, who do not wish to have
them engaged in a service that is
classed as manual labor, and, while
the boys do not care to become law
yers, doctors, or ministers, they would
like something light and respectable
the last term meaning the kind of
employment that involves q good
living, the wearing of good clothes,
and the admission into good society
on an equal footing with the best of
people. But the American parent
finds upon investigation that all these
pursuits are quite as the "learned
professions" and unless he can get
situations for his boys through IA
voritiSm, or by reason of his own So
cial position, he is thrown back upon
the trades, or the young gentlemen
grow up in idleneSS and are wasting
the formative and most important
period of their existence.
And If he settles down upon trade
that requires two or three years of
apprenticeship before the learner is
proficient in it and has mastered all
its details, the boy is destitute of the
required tenacity Of purpose requisite
to accomplish the work, or perhaps
the trades-union will interpose it's OBJ
lection, and its opposition often set
ties the matter. Men who under
stands only one kind of business and
expect to do their life work in it have
a natural repugnance to seeing it
overdone, and are naturally jealous
of all sorts of competition in it, and
to keep others from learning it is one
OF the ways in which they butter their
own bread. The consequence is that
two results follow, namely, first, that
there is large number of American
fathers who are still puzzled with the
conHndrum, what is to be done with
our boys2" and secondly, the Ameri-

a gentleman who is engaged in silk
manufacture in this country writes
tn New York paper in explanation
of the employment of so many foreign
artisans in the silk business, and says
it is one of the necessities of the stu
alton. He finds our young men and
women Directing to spending two or
three years in becoming experts in
the business. OF course every one
with common sense sees that we are
making a great mistake in not pre-
pairing ourselves to fill the ranks Of
skilled labor in every department
where it is needed from the ranks of
our own people, rather than to be
obliged to depend on our too willing
neighbors across the sea. And herein
is another strong argument in favor
of our home Industries, because by
such a policy the list of employments
is largely increased, the opportunities
for young men are greatly multiplied,
and the problem is in a measure
solved-"What shall be done with our

are on their way home from the Ash

san Francisco will never go to sea
again. The Tennessee, flagship of the
Atlantic squadron, will soon go on the
retired list. The Hartford, in whose

Review says "they are little too late

state and federal legislat ures flooded
with measures prescribing for cast.

regulations the idea of uniform rates
is especially fallacious, as any one will
agree who reflects upon the radical
variations of condition existing il

gradients found upon our great plains
and in our mountain states, and the
influences Of our great channels Of

ATTACKING the problem how to
preserve a basis for the circulation of
national bank notes in face of the
fact that at the present rate of re-
demption the per cents, the class of
bonds principally held by the banks,
win all be paid off within the next
three years, Comptroller Knox ar
riyes at the conclusion that the best
plan is to pass law authorizing an
increase of issue of circulation to 80
or 90 per cent upon the market price
Of 4 and AZ per cent bonds, and an
other repeating the tax upon circula-
ton. This, he thinks. would result in
the deposit of enough 4 and ~ rer
cents TO maintain the circulation at
about its present aggregate. Comp
trolier Knox does not recommend the
repeal of the tax of 10 per cent on cir
culation which prohibits theexistence
OF state banks.
