They are such as are made up of two
parts of equal shapes. Look carefully
at these and you will perceive that the
upper halves of the characters are a
very little smaller than the lower
halves--so little that an ordinary eye
declares them to be of equal size. Now
turn the paper upside down and, with
out any careful looking, you will see
that this difference in size is very much
exaggerated that the real top half OF
the letter is very much smaller than
the bottom half. 1t will be seen from
this that there is tendency in the eye
to enlarge the upper part of any object
upon which it looks.

French Treatment of Prisoners.
Paris Letter in Rochester Democrat,

Paris Letter in Rochester Democrat
There is one feature of the French
criminal procedure that to American or
English minds seems monstrously un-
just. 1t is the custom of regarding an
accused person as guilty until he proves
his innocence, allied with the practice
of French judges acting as prosecuting
attorney for the state. On the other
hand Frenchman naturally finds our
methods strange and ineffective. A
very intelligent French writer, M.
Daryle, who has just published the
most important book on England since
Taine's volume, thinks the English
judges too lcnien; with the accused
during the trial and too harsh after
conviction, The French practice is to
abuse and attack the prisoner as long
as his criminality is in doubt to as
sumo it, in fact, in advance, and to try
all methods to entrap him, Bat when
once he is found guilty he is treated
with all possible consideration, and the
French think it merciful not to let the
doomed man know the time of execu,
ton. When the fatal day arrives, anC
an hour or two before execution, he il
told what impends, and not till then.

DIR. HOLMES ON TREES Writing to

Wendell Holmes has said 81 have
written many verses, but the best
poems l have produced are the trees l
planted on the hillside which over
looked the broad meadows, scolloped
and rounded at their edges by loops of
the sinuous Housatonic. Nature finds
rhymes for them in the recurring
measures of the seasons Winter strips
them of their ornaments and gives
them, as it were, in prose translation,
and summer reclothes them in all the
splendid phrases of their leafy Ian
gnage. What are these naples and
beeches and birches but odes and idyls
and madrigals What are these pines
and frs and spruces but holy hymns,
too solemn for the many.hued raj

How Watch Cases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold I'Iatch Cases really con.
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cuses--
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4 to 10 kurats
and or 6 karat case is Often sold for IL
or II karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case 50 poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in DIST ana damaging the works, or
one SO thin that sli Int blow viii break

JUDGE BLACK AND BUCHANAN.

"The differences between Judge
Black and the president which came to
a head when the answer to the South
Carolina Commissioners was under
consideration, had existed all along in
one degree or another, and though
they were differences not about ends but
methods, they appear to have been
chronic. Judge Black was constantly
urging the reinforcement of Anderson;
he procured the order which enabled
Anderson to move, while Mr.. Buchan-
an did not even remember its terms
and his "frst promptings were to com
mand him to return They were not
in harmony on the message of Deoem-
ber 8. General Cass was much more
nearly in accord with the president
than was Judge Black, and no sooner
had he offered his resignation than he
tried to recall it. Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
you may have observed, has not shar
ed Mr.. Blaine's error on this subject
He knew better, and only last yeal
emptied all the vials of his wrath upor
Judge Blacks head for his belligerent
attitude toward the secessionists.
"Mr. Blaine alludes vaguely to the
attorney generals opinion of November
20 and intimates that it propoundet
heresies which crept into the president
message of December 8, This is an
other mistake. That opinion is, in {
legal sense, above his criticism, NJ
lawyer in either party has ever ventur
red in that direction. Its perfect sound
ness said Judge Black in one of hi
letters to the late Henry Wilson, 'ha
never been questioned by any ma,
with sense enough to know his righ
hand from his left. Mr.. Blaine tea

ALBANY, Nov. 20.-The State eanEassers met
at o'clock. Ex-senator Conkling was present
for q few minutes. 1t was found that ffty-four
green electoral ballots had been cast in Delaware
county for the Republican electors and ON
motion of the Attorney general an order was
entered in the proceedings and thereturn passed
as -onaiu0d
The Kings county return shows q slight dis
crepancy, which was explained by the county
clerk, and the return passed.
The discrepancy in the Richmond county re-
turn was explained by county clerk Cornelius
A. Hart. He presented the original tally sheets,
and stated that the error in the return before
the board was due to omission, on the part. of
the copyist to insert the names of votes Of two
Butler electors The mistake was not apparent
in the separate footings, appearing only in the
totals. Comparison of the original with state
ment sent the board verified Mr.. Harris explana-
tion. On motion of Attorney general OBrIen,
and adopted unanimously, the clerk was per-
mitted to correct the returns. All returns were
received. and the tabulated statement will be
ready for signature tomorrow.
