The Jury Went .Dimmycratic.

A pretty good story is told upon
the authority of one of the Post
office Department Inspectors who
was sent to North Carolina to attend
to the prosecution of man who
had rified the United States mails.
While the Inspector was waiting for
his case to be called he sat in the
Court room. A jury filed into the
Court room, and the Inspector OBJ
served that it was composed Of sew
en- white and five colored men.
Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon verdict ?" asked
the Clerk in that solemn manner
which pertains to Court Clerks.
"We am, sir" responded an old gray
haired negro man, who had been
made foreman of the jury, either
out of sport or because of his white
mead. ''What is the verdict p asked
the Clerk, why, Judge, said the
colored foreman, looking up at the
Court, "de jury am gone 'dimmy-

IN making roosts tor fowls let them
be level and on line. If they are
so arranged as to have some ofthen

1t is frightful fact that perfectly sane per-
sons are oftel eonspired against by persons
actuated by base and criminal motives, and
by the connivauce of corrupt and bnbe-
taking doctors consigned to insane asylums.
In a majority of such cases such unfortunate
persons are consigned to what are known as
private asylums for the insane, where the
nefarious practice of combining sane persons
is more easily accomplished than in public
institutions OF the kind. But the managers
of public retreats for the insane, by sdroitly
managed conspiracies, are often imposed
upon, and take into their charge and coniue
persons who have no faint of insanity upon
them. A case of this kind is just now con-
vulsing the community in Quebec.
Mrs Lyman has been confined for two
years in Longul Pointe lunatic asylum in
that city, she being perfectly sane as proven
by late examination, which has resulted in
her release. This case has so aroused the
Quebec authorities that they have resolved TO
submit the whole question for consideration
to the legislature which meets next February.
1t is believed that the case of Mrs. Lyman
is not an isolated one, and that other sane
persons are wrongfuilv incarcerated in the
same asylum. 1t is alleged that a faulty or
corrupt system of medical superiutendence
prevails there, aud the legislature is to be
invoked to inaugurate a more rigid system of
examinations.
Alfred Perry, public spirited citizen Of
Quebec. TO whose action Mrs. Lyman owes
her release. made positive and public asser-
ton that for five or ten dollar fee TO a per-
son in authority, any one could be con-
signed to the Tongue Potnte asylum,
or released from it. On being taken to task
for bic statement he replied If the govern
ment would appoint a commission to inves-
tigate the subject. he would prove the asser-
ton. Under these circumstances it would
seem that the government, though very con-
sentative and slow to act in such cases. can
not refuse rigid and thorough investigation
of cases and accusations which have brought
the iunaiic asylum system of the Province
into such disrepute and odium. The posi-
billy of having sane persons confined in
the lunatic asyiums ought TO be estopped, by
the enforcement of the most rigid rules and
the infietion of preventive penalties of the
severest character
