WHAT CONSTITUTES A GRAND JuRYl

The Superior Court of this county,
Judge Armstrong presiding, on Wednes-
day called the Grand Jury into Court and
disbanded it, excusing it from further
service for the reason, for one thing, that
two Of the jurors had gone without the
jurisdiction of the Court. He declared
that a Grand Jury was the creature of the
law that fixed upon a definite number of
units for its composition, and that without
that full number being present the jury
could not legally transact any business /:
that, in short, if a Grand Juror absented
himself from the jurisdiction of the Court
this act dissolved the jury. This action of
the Court has been adversely criticised
here and in San Francisco, the Examiner
pronouncing it TO be error, and dangerous
error at that.
The question is one of exceeding inter-
est, and while we are disposed to believe
the Superior Court acted legally and
wisely, since reason appears to support the
Courts view Of the matter, yet it will be
well to look at both sides of the question.
1t is contended, in the first place, that the
Supreme Court has put the question at rest
by decision in the case of the People VS..
Hunter, where it WAS held that the death
of one Of the Grand Jurorsd not prevent
the remaining number from proceeding
with the BUS mss of the iury, so long as
twelve concurred in finding an indictment,

Paul stood inside with Wona as the priest
entered, saying, in Micmac: "Peace to
the daughter of Mooseslayer, wild flower
of the valley" As he held out his hand
Wona smiled welcome. Then they all
seated themselves on the floor of the wig
wan, and the priest unfolded his errand.
he told the wondering girl her sorrows
had ended: that her father and lover and
the others were alive and well; and in
token of truth he brought her fathers
moccasins and her lovers belt, both of
which she recognized, having embroidered
them herself.
She fell on her knees beside the good
priest, tears of joy flowing down her
cheeks, and kissed the hand that held out
the belt TO her, unbounded Joy in her ex-
pressive face and eyes.
Then he told her how, in coming home.
the storm had overtaken the light canoes.
and they drifted helplessly out to sea;
how passing vessel had picked them ali
up and carried them to French port.
from which word had been sent to Father
Jeuness, the missionary priest, with in
| structions from the Chief, where his dangh-
ter and tribe could be found. All that
evening the priest talked and left the next
day, promising to return. Wona had no
faith, no creed, except of Nature; and the
good old priest recognized a prominent
pupil.
Some weeks passed before the Chief and
Leonta returned. Then one evening they
were landed from vessel, and the looms
call and curlew cry greeted Wona's glad,
listening ears. She bounded light as a
fawn to the beach to welcome them home,
their JOY tempered by grief, for none of
them knew that death had taken SO MANY
of their dear ones.
In silent sorrow Mooseslayer bent over
the graves, and his voice rose and fell in
mournful cadence in the death chant of
his tribe, Wona and Leonta joining in.
But the reunited lovers, the stanch,
faithful Indian maiden, whose fortitude
had carried her through past sorrows, now
shared the faith taught them by the good
priest, La Jeuness; and on Christmas, in
the island chapel, they were made one
with the blessing of the Church to hallow
| the union.
There are few now left of the once great
Mlcmae tribe; yet those living can tell
you of Wona and her unselfish life and de-
votion to the sick, fever-stricken ones.
The mountain looks over the blue At
lantic silent and alone now, with his mem
ories of the past. The cloud oft vail his
brow from the world as he listens for
echoes OF the sweet voice that spoke for all
to listen in the Chiefs lodge The echoes
steal back from the dim past to whisper
that Faithful and true hearts never die.
even to the world" The waves of the blue
Atlantic sing requiem, and the everlast-
ing hills emerge from the foUc and p,is-c
to listen; and the pines whisper at even
tide ever the same words, Wona, faithful
and true" The stars reflected in the calm
waters of the cove bear witness to it all
and glisten in silent sympathy.

THE New York World explains that
bad cooking has a great deal to do with
the failure of marriages, and is the cause
primarily of many divorces. That is
neither new nor strange. Social philoso-
pliers discovered that fact, and announced
1t long before the journal that utters the
exclamation was thought of. The cooking
school, in our opinion, is one of the very
best Of agencies for the making of good
wives. If the wife is not herself to cook
for her husband, it is at least essential that
she should have the knowledge of what
good cookery is, and understand all its
economies. And by this we do not mean
merely the knowledge of the proportions
of ingredients, etc, but knowledge of the
character of substances used in food, their
change under heat the chemistry of COM
binations Of various articles and sub
stances entering into the composition of

The Prince of Monaco, the ruler of the
smallest principality on the globe, has de-
clared that with the expiration of the
present charters he will not permit gam
ing to be licensed in his domain. In that
case Monte Carlo will become very in
significant spot, compared with the present
notoriety it has as the one place of all
others where there is more of misery, dis
sipation and wretchedness to the acre than
anywhere else on earth, notwithstanding
the fact that there is scarcely any poverty.
While the nine miles square of kingdom
will benefit by the change, since its people
will have to go work for a living, the

A PROPOSITION is advanced to consolid-
ate Utah and Nevada, and thus make of
the two one State of sufficient population
to be worthy of the name. 1t sounds well,
but it will not do. Utah must not be
brought into the Union of States through
the back door. Until she is purged to the
uttermost of the craft of the Mormon priest
hood, and has abandoned polygamy COM
pleteiy, Statehood for her, in any form, is
not to be thought of United with Nevada,
Utah would have the political control of
the enlarged State, and with polygamy un-
crushed, and the Church of Jesus Christ of
the Latter Day Saints inculcating the
doctrine that the church is superior to the
State and the Nation, and that its orders
and DEGREES must be obeyed in defiance of
the laws of the land, Utah is good bit of
territory to keep under the Federal thumb.
