John Burroughs, in the Critic, contrasts
American and English woods to the advan-
tage of the former He says that the English
forests have no wood spirit, no wood air, as
with us; that they are rather fields thickly
planted with trees and suggest perpetual
picnic" No one thinks of camping out in
the English woods. There is not one purely
wood voice or sound or odor. "Our woods
suggest new arts, new pleasures, new mode
of life" They are another world; they are
woodsy.

The Jury System.

After quoting an editorial on the jury sys.
tenn, which appeared in the EVENING LIGHT
the Galveston Print says:
.If men were selected because of their pc,
culiar ftress for jury duty, and were paid ir
sums commensurate with the value of theil
time as experts, the objections urged by the
LIGHT would not hold good unfortunately
the reverse is true. The professional juror is
generally not good for anything except beer
drinking, and his decisions are often about as
valuable as guides or precedents as he is as q
citizen"

A Bit of Good Advice.

We are always glad to give advice to
young men who, like you, have $1,000
with which they wish to speculate in
Wall street. You want to get introduced
to some broker, i'll the first place, and
tell him your plans He will tell you
not to put your money up unless you
can afford to lose it; and then he will
show you how, if you had called the day
before, you might have doubled your in
vestment. He won't give you any adj
vice-nOt he-but he will take your
S., 900, and, by neat and mysterious
process which he calls buying on a mar
gin, he will lay i'll about million dollars
worth of some mining stock, which is
bound to rise to par next week, and make
you millionaire. Every day you watch
the reports, and pretty soon your broker
will sell you out at a small loss, and re-
invest III something else, and at the end
of three or four weeks your money will
be all gone. That is all there is.
Nothing difficult about it ! Oh, by all
means go and put money that you can
afford to lose III Wall street 1t will be
safe there SO safe that you will never
get it again But then you will know
where it is, and you will enjoy seeing
your broker driving his span of bays i'll
the park.-Our COittH,ClH

On The Iron CladS.

Men who have served on both iron
clads and mortar-schooners assert that
the deck of the latter is the worst place
in war during an engagement. The dis
charge of the mortars fairly lifts a man
off his feet. The ears soon get accua-
toned to the roar of n cannon, but the
below of the mortar is not only positively
painful to the ears, but has been known
to produce toOth-ache and violent cramps.
Men on the deck of mortar-schooner
who do not stand on tip-toe and with
teeth apart, will be disabled in an hour.
Place the monster ordnance of the
present day in the embrasure of sand
fort so-situated that five or SIX guns can
he trained upon one iron-clad, and moth
ing made to float can remain within range
an hour. On the other hand, u solid

Getting Their Moneys Worth.

OF all determined efforts made by
men to get THEN moneys worth, that
which was made by two Boston artists
last summer was among the most Origi-
nal and ingenious. They were visiting
Quebec, and were seized one day with
the idea of going to a town some twenty
miles away which offered many attrac-
lions to searchers for the picturesque.
SO they hunted up an old calCchG and
covenanted with the owner thereof to
sum of eight dollars. This bargain ar
ranged they all three got aboard the
vehicle and started. The roads, how
ever, were execrable, and after about
half the distance was comprised the
two travellers were sore from continuous
humping and grinding against the side
of the machine. Finally the driver got
out and walked, leaving the others to be
dragged slowly along over a highway
full of holes and unexpected ruts. The
artists stood this for time, when one of
them said: "Look here, Bill, didn't we
give that driver eight dollars for the
labor of taking us on this pilgrimage?
Why, then, is he comfortably walking
along there beside the road?" by Jove,
let's get out and walk and make him
ride! I don't propose to pay him and
do all the work myself" This opinion
prevailed, and the artists, dismomting,
forced the unhappy driver to get into
the carriage and ride the remainder of
the way, while they themselves proceed
ed on foot, to their great contentment
and satisfaction.
