l heard a jury story this morning.
AGerman had got into q row with a
quarrelsome Irishman, who had long
been a terror in his neighborhood, and
the Irishman had been left stone dead
on the field. A young and inexperi-
enced lawyer undertook the defense of
the German, and just before the case
was to be tried, he found, to his dis
may, that the jury was composed of
eleven combative looking country
men of the murdered man, the twelfth
man being a German. This, of
course, would never do. A defense
fund" was Immediately raised and the
German was approached with all due
caution, and the promise that il he
managed to get a verdict Of man
slaughter it would be worth 81, 900 to
him; all he had 10 do was to stick to
that M word ''manslaughter." Well,
the verdict came in ''manslaughter''
in great shape, and the joyful attor-
ney for the defense couldn't get the
81, 1000 into the Germans hands too
quick. Shaking hands with him after
the money was placed, he slapped him
on the back and said: "You did nobly;
you must have had an awful time
making those Irishmen agree to man
slaughter" well, / should say So"

According TO The Waterville Senti-
mel, East Vassalboro has an aged citizen
who not only never rode in a railroad
a but has never been inside a stage
coach. Another citizen, "a years old,
has never resorted to the habit of wear
ing stockings and understanding. He
represented the town in the legislature
years ago, and during one of those cold
waves which sometimes sweep down
the Kennebec, when other legislators
were toasting their blue yarned stock
inged feet at the evening fires, Uncle
John sat back with nary a stocking on
his feet and made no complaint of
cold.-Lewiston Journal.

The Stallion Nelson.

1t was a great day for lovers of the turf
in Boston when the stallion Nelson went under
the wire first and won the Balch national
$4,000 stake. As The Boston Herald well
says, 1t was a battle between the greatest
living horses of the age. and that Alcryon
lost the race Is no wonder, considering that
Nelson is such a grand animal.
Alcryon is the gray stallion who is the
hero OF the great Hartford $40, 900 stake, Civ
ing Nelson the only defeat that no ever sus-
tanned. There can be no question, however,
but what Nelson, the great son Of young
Rolfe, has retrieved his reputation and now
stands at the front.
