THE JURY REFORM,

Now it is not an easy matter to cor
rupt two or three men of jury. With
numbers there is danger of exposure.
So has developed the idea of meeting this
evil by allowing the verdict Of nine men
to be the verdict Of the Jury. The
suggestion is wise. 1t is found to work
we'll in several states where attempted.
1t is proposed to place this safeguard in
our own constitution. Two young men
Of whom We had hoped better things.
Two young, intelligent, generous spirited
members Of the legal profession. Two
men of the convention, Of whom their
respective parties were hoping great
things, rise in their places, yesterday,
and with eloquent, though not wise
words oppose this most important
reform. These gentlemen should know
that no amount OF eloquent eulogy Of tie
old English jury system can cover up
the sight or stencil Of facts fostering aud
rotting in the gaze and in the nostrils Of
every man acquainted with the courts Of
the day. We trust that the intelligent
convention will not be moved from its
mooring by the high wind of these
young attorneys. But rather that they
will take counsel of that older aud wiser
man Of the profession, who yesterday 60
brilliantly swept away oil their specious
arguments-silenced all their rafting
musketry by stauuch fact and solid
aryument-fact and argument as un
answ erable as the multiplication table
Whatever may be the result Of th.
debate in this convention, the people oI
Idaho-the payers of taxes and thu
lovers of justice between man and man
} will remember Judge CIagget's speeches
Of yesterday with grateful regard

pressed with the natural attractions,
wealth and climate Of the Coeur dAleue
that he could not reconcile himself to
life in the East. He will not resign
his seat on the bench, unless his strength

The Salt Lake Tribune is getting SO
nervous about the Idaho constitutional
convention concerning the Mormon
question that it is prompted to
remark in long editorial on Idaho:
"rhere are just as many saeass in the
republican as the democratic party, and
the men who control the Mormon
organization never sleep, never rest and,
if possibly, never lose point. Ii they
could make the same terms with rcpub-
icans in the east that they did with
democrats two years ago, they would all
be republicans tomorrow, for they can
change their politics quicker than al
ordinary man can change his shirt"
We bad almost concluded that thu
republicans in Idaho were Saints to b.
immortalized; but now the illusion il
dispelled. There must be something
wrong south of :. the 46th parallel
"There are Just now as many republican
sneaks," etc., means something. Ar
the republican leaders hobnobbing a littl

TWO SISTERS.

Two sisters went forth from the same dea

Two fair-haired sisters with eyes OF blue;
Dainty and bright in their girlhood's time
AS rosebuds fresh with the morning dew;
And never, we thought, us We watched them 20
Were lives more sweet or hearts more true.
Darling Madge was the first to 90
Daintily clad in her robe of white.
She was the pet and the pride OF all,
she was our song bird, our JOY, our light
sunshine fed from our saddeued home,
when she went forth from our longing sight
All, yes We knew she was saved from grief
To 80 in the bloom of her maiden years;
We knew our darling was ever free
From lfe's dark trials and pains and fears;
Yet this did not ease the hearts deep pain,
Or stop the flow of the bitter tears.
They told us in kindly, comforting words,
Oh her greater ioy and the Heavenly gain;
But we only felt the chilling loss,
inc breaking heart and bitter pain.
AS we laid her 10 sleep on the cold hillside
All alone in the wind and rain.
In the same dear home.nest old and brown

Not less white were her dainty robes,
Not less fair were the flowers gay.
Not less dear was her joyous step,
Not less missed when she went away.
Yet we filled our HON with Joy and mirth,
When she went forth from our loving care;
we summoned happy and merry guests,
And brought her gifts OF beauty rare,
And smiled through our tears as we placed with
pride
The bridal wreath on the golden hair.
Oh, life, with its paradox Joy and painl
How may we know when TO smile or sigh.
One enters the realm OF eternal joy
And our hearts are crushed OF the last good.

Yet we smile and are glad, nor wonder why,

FACTS o FENCES.
How to Utilize Trees of Some valuable
Timber for Posts.

How to Utilize Trees of Some Valuable
Timber for Posts.
In many locations on the farm a row
of trees of some valuable timber might
be utilized as fence posts while grow
ing. In 1879 | planted arrow of locust
trees, fifty rods long, on the south side
of a permanent pasture, setting them
four feet apart. In four years they
were large enough to staple a single
barbed wire to about three feet from
the ground. A row of hedge brush
was then laid along the ground close
to the roots OF the trees and another
row leaned up like clocks one against
each tree, resting on the wires. AT
an expense of about ten cents a rod |
had agood fence for horses and cattle.
Every spring we draw a few hedge
brush and replace any needed. Two
hours each year keeps this line of
fence in repair, and no stock have ever
broken through 1t. With two wires
the brush could be dispensed with. |
shall do some more tree planting for
this purpose, but will set the trees but
two feet apart in the row, and place
every tenth tree six inches out
of line, so that the wire will only como
into contact to the trees to which IL IL
fastened. A row of trees can be utilized
AS posts for a fence to turn hogs and
sheep by making the panels separate,
mailing the boards to light uprights
and setting them against the trees.
The bottom OF each panel may be
secured by a stake and the top by a
tarred string or wire fastened loosely
so as not TO cut the tree. II trees were
sci tive or three feet apart three boards

APOPlExY IN SWINE.
One of the Results of Tattening Animals In
u Short Time,

snort tlne.
ApopleXy is usually a disease of fat
hogs, although an animal that has
long been thin or suffering from excess
sive irritation Of the intestinal canal
would also be prcdisposcd to it,. 1t
must be understood that the process of
fattening an animal in Il few weeks
destroys the equilibrium of the system,
and in one sense the fairness is in itself
disease. The storing up of fat in the
animal economy is always at the ex-
pensc Of muscular development. The
muscles become weak and flabby. All
the b~lOod-vessels Of the system are
surrounded by a strong, tough, muscu-
lar coat that in a state of perfect
health will resist any force that the
hearts action can put upon these
canals. But the fattening process
wcakcns these tibers; n sudden or
unusual strain ruptures one in the
brain, and we call it apoplexy. 1t is
not as common in the hor
as one would expect. but oc-
ours SO often that the breeders
should understand il and know the
right thing to do. 1t is impossible to
foresec when this is going to occur. If
the rupture is a very small one, when
the blood is oozing out in tiny drops,
the hog will sometimes be found living
insensible aud breathing heavily. No
effort Will arouse ii. 1t is more usual
to find u big fat hog lying dead. with
no external marks or signs of tbo
cause Of death. Cut open the skull
carefully and Il eliot of blood OF greater
or less extent will be found inside. II
alive, however, tie a stout cord above
the knee and with n stick take n twist
in the cord until on the inner side of
the leg below the knee the brachial
vein a be felt. Open it with a sharn.
pointed knife, and If the blood will RIM

Don't guess at it. An ounce of blood
spread over the ground or on the floor

THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.


but W NV oSitibhs
How refreshing it is to see a newly
married maid bringing to her new
home a heart full of love for all its in
mates; falling into her place AS daugh-
ter and sister as naturally MS though
she had been born there; cherishing
an undated attachment to her own
relatives, and yet cordially identify
ing herself with the circle which we'd
lock has gathered around her; neither
intruding into matters which do not
concern her, o isolating herself from
the family In a proud self-seclusion,
but going through her proper orbit
with order, energy, and meekness;
with equal grace accepting and recip-
rocating kind offices; ready with her
counsel whore counsel was solicited,
and displaying, as occasion might re-
quire it, that power of being silent"
which al old writer specifies as one of
the attributes Of a good wife; eager n
distinguishing every spark of discord
on Its first appearances; and shedding
over the little world OF home the ge-
NAL influence of an example which
makes even the thoughtless among
them confess that that must be u di-
vine religion which had nodded n
character of so much loneliness!
Who a estimate the value of such
an acquisition to a family; IA woman
who brings into it a fresh infusion of
taste, refinement and affection:
with gentle yet prevailing force,
Intent upon her destined course;
Graceful and useful all she does,
Blessing and tlcst where'er she goes"

alienation among them, becomes a
new bond of union; whose truthful
nature, serene temperament and gentle
manners attract every heart to itself.
and make her the friend of all; and
whose affectionate sympathy gilds
their days of gladness with a brighter
luster, and assuages the bitterness OF
their sorrows.
IL there are households among YOU
blessed with a daughter and sister
like this, see that you do not only
cherish her with the tenderness due
to her exalted worth, but copy her
virtues. And lot all the families which
embrace these legal atiinities cultivate
that unselish spirit which shines 50
conspicuously in the character wo
have been contemplating. The want
OF this lies at the root OF a great nor.
ton Of the discomfort and unhapplncss
to be found in families; for in ,he
hapituDl and intimate fellowship of

while each one OF the family ia dis.
