lStecil to the Pressl
BRUNSWICK, Feb. 1S-For the last few
weeks there have appeared articles in the
Portland Globe expressing dissatisfaction with
the result of the jury system, and representing
that 1t had fallen into disrepute among the
students At large. The correspondent stu
dent. charged the jury not only of partiality.
but even OF corruption in the discharge of their
duties. At an indignation meeting of the
students the matter was fully discussed, and
the following resolutions adopted:
Whereas, Ger ain statements, written by a
student OF Bowdnin College, have appeared
in The Portland Globe, which statements are

bring into disrepnts the jury system here. and
thereby the whole college, the wrifer of this

Bowdoin College, having been misieprese ntss,

losing resolutions:

Resolved, That the statements Of e. @. p,

HR. ARTHUR,s PORTRAIr.

Healy, the portrait painter. has been
engaged on a picture of the President.
The study represents Mr.. Arthur in
three-quarters view. the head bent
slightly down and forward, with a gra-
cious and pleasant expression, as if just
greeting one. 1t is a most truthful por-
trait, and shows the President Arthur OF
to-day as a very different looking man
from the full-faced candidate, with NUT
ton-chop whiskers, paraded in the cam
paign of 1880. The flowing whiskers
have been clipped short, the chin is
smooth, and the mustache is clipped
short. His face wears a more serious
air now, and the soft, dark-brown eyes
remain as the finest features in his face.
A graceless politician noting this changed
appearance Of the President said it
was one Of his arguments against
a second term; that if President Arthur
had retained the familiar motton-chops
which the rural voters know him by they
might utilize all the old campaign ban
ners and blocks for wood-cuts; but that
now with his clipped whiskers touched
with gray the distant voters could never
tell the pictured Arthur from Blaine and
would mix the campaign sadly.

NEW YORK JURY SYSTEM.

The defects in the system OF the triaI
iurv in this State are becoming more and
more apparent, and it is hardly overstat'
ing the case to say that a majority OF oul
citizens regard it as a lugubrious farce
Among the features that render it odiou'
in the public mind is the fact that, When
most needed, intelligent men are disqual
fled to act as jurors. A caricature by
Thomas Mast a couple of weeks ago IL
Harper's Weekly represents a jury a.
made up chiefly of foxes, geese and jack
asses. Nobody looked at it but wai
amused. The sketch, being true to ma
ture, struck the popular mind. The
genius Of the artist was manifested IN
his ability to express the sentiment
perfectly with a few strokes OF his pen
Gil. Judge Nicholas Longworth OF Gin
cinnati said to a representative OF the
New York Tribune in regard to the
operation of the jury laws in Ohio:
The present jury system is all wrong.
The prevalent idea is that if a man reads
an account of a crime in a newspaper he
thereby becomes incompetent to SIT as a
juror.
Says the New York Sun
His words suggest an inquiry. Why
does not Ohio initiate the example OF
New York in improving her jury laws !
A proposed juror is not disqualified IN
this State by reason of the fact that he
has read an account of the crime, even
though he may also have formed and ex-
pressed an opinion as to the guilt OF the
accused. The test is his ability to rem
der a fair and impartial verdict nInhu-
enced by that opinion.
Our statute on this subject provides as
follows :
1.-THE previous expression or formation
Of an opinion or impression in reference
to the guilt or innocence OF the defend
ant, or o present opinion or impression
in reference thereto, is not a sufficient
ground of challenge for actual bias, to
any person otherwise legally qualified, II
he declare on oath that he believes such
OpiulOu VI IMPRESSION IA NV
his verdict, and that he can render an
impartial verdict according to the evil
dence, and the Court is satisfied that he
does not entertain such a present opinion
or impression as would influence his
verdict"
Judge Longworth's remarks indicate
that no such law as this exists in Ohio.
Our statute was passed IL years ago, and
first came before the Court Of Appeals in
the Stokes case, where it was pronounced
constitutional. There is no evidence that
it has operated improperly to the detri-
ment of prisoners, but, on the contrary,
it has made it possible to secure a much
more intelligent class of jurors than were
formerly obtainable for the trial Of i'm
portant criminal cases.

Bacon reported that since che es- tablishment of the home at Tyler City twen- ty-four children had been received there At present there are ten children in the in. stitution, the other fourteen having been provided with places in private families. It was not easy to find homes for children un der 8 years of age. Those older than that, however, were in demand. CT find l" said Mrs Bacon ssthat many chil dren who ought to be in the country home are kept in the almshouse contrary to the provisions of the law. Within few days that there were five of these chil- dren in the New Haven aImshouse and four in the Meriden aImshouse. I tried to get an explanation of this, but did not succeed. There being no penalty for thus disregarding the law suppose it will continue to be dis
