Mrs. Clement Binnings !! !!

On last Sunday night, after a pro
tracted illness, Mrs. Ellenora NJ.
Binnings, wife of c. P. Binni~gs,
at the residence of her father, in
Donaldsonville, passed quietly from
earth, at the age Of % years, 8
months and IA days.
The deceased had been in decli
ming health for some time, when il
few weeks ago, she was removed to
DonaldsonvilIe, hoping that a
change might be beneficial, and if
not, that she might bid adieu to
this world, in the home of the ven
cradle parents who were so dear TO
her.
In the strength and vigor of
youth, at an age when the world
was new and beautiful, and its FL
ture bright with attractions, a
dark cloud settled down before her
vision, and the spirit of the good
womsn took its eternal flight, to the
realms beyond, where the pure in
heart will find rest from their sor
rows.
MIS-. Binnings was possessed of
an amiable, atfectionate aud kind
disposition, devoted to the welfare
of those she loved, and leaves a
void in the society in which she
mixed, that cannot be refilled.
To her aged parents, who have
so often stood by the open grave,
ready to receive their lost ones.
weighted with the burdens of more
than three score years, the disposi
ton from an all wise Providence,
in removing from them, their young
est child, is p.culi arly sad and sol
rowful.
TO her husband and child whom
she leaves, without the love and de
votion of wife and mother, to bel
venerable parents and devoted sis
tiers, and all who had entered into
the magic circle OF her acquaintance
and friendship, friends a offer BIZ
man sympathy, but for consolation
and relief they must look to thai
same All Powerful God, who has
seen tit to bring this trial upol
them.
The deceased was buried in St
Johns Cemetery after religious Sc
vices by Rev. A. S. Clark, Recto
OF St. Johns Church, On Monda,

Gen. sheridan,s Suggestion.

Gen. Sheridan in his annual report
makes IA suggestion with respect to the
Indians and their lands that is well worth
the consideration of Congress. The
Indians, he says, are the richest people in
this country as communities. They own
immense reservations of the finest lands
in the West, These lands. if sold at the
government price Of 81 p per acre, would
bring a sum that would yield the Indians
handsome income. Gen. Sheridan's
suggestion is that each family be allotted
800 acres, and be required to reside on its
own land, and that the rest OF the lands be
bought by the government and the pro-
ceeds invested in government bonds for
the benefit of the Indians. In this way
great r income would be secured for the
Indians than they have now from the ap-
preparations made by the government for
their benefit. Congress would be relieved
from the necessity of making annual ap-
preparations for the Indians, and Of giving
much attention to their wants. The Indi-
ans would be encouraged to cultivate
their land and to make an effort to i'm
prove their condition.
Gen. Sheridan says that the Crow In
dams have nearly 1880, 900 acres of land,
and that there are not more than $500 of
them, counting five person to each family.
If each family were given 800 acres, they
would have left 100000 to dispose of to
the government. The Cheyennes and
Arapahoes have 100000. 1t would not
require over 200, 900 acres to give each fam
lily of them a 800 acre farm. The Utes
have 5, l0O,O 900 acres, and if the government
would buy what they would have for sale
after each family had been provided with
800 acres, they would be able to live
much better and more comfortably than
they now do.
OF course the interest of the money
which the lands would bring could be
distributed just as the appropriations by
Congress are now distributed. AS the
right of the Indians TO these lands is
fully recognized the only way for the gov
eminent to get them is to buy them. Of
course II could take them by force and
eXterminate the Indians il 1t wanted to,
but it isn't going to do anything Of that
kind. As the lands will he needed for
white settlers in the very near future it
might Devise to act on Gen. sherldan's
suggestion.

Some of the New York papers are ex-
pressing satisfaction that in that State
stupidity IS no longer required as quail
fcation for jurors. Because a man has
read the newspaper accounts OF crime
ne is not regarded as disqualified to act as
juror. In some localities, however, the
practice OF excluding from the jury every
one who knows anything about a case is
still adhered to, aud the consequence is
that in those localities the juries are COM
posed OF men who are totally unfit to dis
charge the responsible duties which de-
voye upon them.
Nowadays about every intelligent man
reads the newspapers, and it is almost i'm
possible that he should not know some
thing about every important case that
comes before the courts. An intelligent
man. however, is prepared to yield his
Impressions to evidence. and is much bet
Ter qualified to render fair verdict than
an ignorant man, who is not only unable
to weigh impartially the evidence sub
mitted TO him, but is more or less gov
erned by his prejudices Frank LeSlie'S
journal, in discussing this matter Of
juries, says; "Of two jurors who can be
equally impartial not the one who knows
least, but the one who knows most, is to
be preferred. No man can sIft and weigh
evidence in complicated cases who is not
man of high general intelligence. Our
jury system could be, and should be, I'M
proved more frequently by impaneling
juries of experts to try all cases where
scientific, technical, or expert questions
arise. Juries reach erroneous verdicts,
not by knowing too much, but by knowing
too little. To raise the standard OF their
intelligence is to raise the standard of
their work
The pay Of jurors in all except the
United States courts-where it is now
asonable-should be so increased as to
bear some relation to the time consumed
in jury service. There is no more reason
why men should be called upon to render
public service in this capacity, without
pay, than in any other responsible capac-
ity. Jurors should not be asked to give
their time for nothing, while judges are
literally rewarded. Citizens would not
resort TO such desperate means to escape
jury duty if they were in some measure
reimbursed for the time lost from their
business occupations. II the jury sys-

Lamar Mistaken for ben" Butler.

Washington Letter to So. Louis Globe Democrat
One OF Secretary Lamar's characteristics is
sympathy for inebriates. This kind of phil
lanthropy, however, has its drawbacks. The
other day an individual tOttered into a street
car where the secretary was riding. The first
thing he did was to throw dollar through
the opening In the front door. BY and by the
driver passed back the change done up in
little package. The drunken man showed il
ia his pocket. Pretty soon the driver opened
the door and called out sharply: "Put in your
fare" The drunken man stared, but don't
move. People began to utter. "Never mind, :"
said Mr.. Lamar, looking beneYolenuy at the
beiogged passenger, ''I'll fix 1t for YOU" and
he stepped up and put = nickel in the box
The situation wasstill misty, but the drunken
man recognized that in some way the Secre-
tary had done him a friendly act. He extend
ed his hand. and Mr.. Lamar shook It., saying,
That's all right"
The drunI en- man gazed steadily and ear
nestly al his benefactor for nearly FIVE min
utes. Then broad grin spread over his face
as he reached out his hand, and said: How
dye do, Gen Butler; ! thought know'd yer

Mr.. Lamar accepted the hand again, but
with lees suavty. "Iknow'd YER" continued
the drunken man, and he kept on grinning
while the people began TO snicker.
"l on don't think he takes me for Ben But

Mr.. Lamar dropped out at the next corner,

which followed him.
