lation, the Ruler presiding as Judge.
No advocates are to be allowed on
either side, but each party is to state
his own case, the iudge, in addition,
askiug such questions as be thinks
proper 10 elicit the truth. Three forms
Of verdict are then suggested to the as
sembly, ore by each party to the case on
trial aud one by the judge although OF
couras the verdict suggested by the latter
may correspond with either Of the other
two veriic.s. The assembly then votes,
and that verdict is adopted which re-
ceives q majority Of the votes cast. The
Judgment so rendered is then carried out
BY officials acting under the direction OF
the Ruler Such, briefly sketched, is the
political complexion Of the proposed
colony.
Mr.. Giles couceives that former attempts
Of a similar kind have failed chiefly for
two reasons-6rst, because there was a
Iack Of home ard family life, the people
living in common, which will always be
iutolerable TO men and women Of Anglo
Saxon blood, and, secondly, because suf-
hcent scope was NOT afforded for the exer-
else Of individual enterprise and ambition.
The first OF these evils Mr. Giles intends
% avoid altogether; the second will be
mi6gatsd so far az the nature Of the case
allows. Each family Will livein house gifts
ovn. on ground of its own; and az the
profits made by tde colonists will be d.
vi1ed among them in proportion to the
skill sud labor contributed by each, there
will be some opportunity for Individual
superiority TO obtain It's reward. 10 Is ex-
pected that restless and ambitious youths
will leave home from time TO time 20 seek
their fortune ia the world at large; and IN
fact the intention is for the children Of the
colony TO receive an education which shall
Il them for life without as well as with
in It.
However, The attempt viii be made TO
afford in the bosom of the society itself
sufficient play for the brightest spirit and
best intellects which 10 contains. Literary
aud artistic tastes and faculties will be fos-
tered and trained, and various industries,
such as enclosing ir d ferent forms, paint
ing on glass carving in wood and ivory,
brsket making, designing, inlayi1g and
the like, viii be prosecuted under the most
capable teachers. Besides, and herein con,

of the scheme, life viii be made more
beautiful in this new Utopia than it is
el5ewhere There viii be no costly houses
or furniture, bat every building which is
erected, be il great or small, will be de-
signed with q view to beauty; and 60, also,
toe color and shape Of every article Of fur
niture. of every utensil, will be calculated
10 the same end In the dress Of the col
onisls, in the ornaments Of their houses,
in the implements CT the farm, even, this
principle will obtain. Mr. Giles has fine
collection Of paintings and seDgravings
which be intends TO give TO the colony,
and other works of art will be acquired
from time 20 tine More might be said
az TO the details OF this fascinating pro
jsct, bat enough has been recOuntsd 10 give
the reader a general idea Of it. The Nor
mon State has held together, prospsred and
iuctessed-8ho can declare that the ssme
destiny may not be IN store for the colony
which Mr. Giles is about TO found with
