very small investment. Real estate offices prevail; and that reminds me of another thing; there is excellent opportunity here for 8 legitimate business. Let some of your young active men who have 6 lit tie capital at their command come here and start hardware store, or dry goods, or gents furnishing, or 8 first class sporting goods emporium; furnishing guns, fishing tackle, base ball, tennis, &c., &c., and money would be rapidly made
 Living here is cheap; as cheap, if not unsurpassed; the Broadway" recently opened, is as handsomely furnished as any New York hotel. Its table is the best at the head of the lakes, and its genial pro- prietor is ever on the alert to anticipate the wants of his guests.
 A large railroad interest centers here, the Northern Pacific, the St. Paul and Du- luth, the Atlantic and South Shore, Wis consin Central, and the Chicago, Minneap- olis and Omaha; all contribute to the growth of the city.
 Excepting for a couple of months in the spring the weather is charming, being clear and cold in the winter and balmy and salubrious in the summer; breathing in the pure air from the lake, and one feels invigorated and his life is renewed day by day.
 The United States land office is located near here and grants of one hundred and sixty acres are being made every day; the total cost of acquiring this amount of land is under thirty dollars
 The requirements of the law are easily met.
 The lands are rich in timber and are all located within from twenty to forty miles of this city. Here is another opportunity for some of our young men to acquire lands which are daily becoming very valu- able. At present these lands abound in game of all kinds, and the sportsman can combine pleasure with profit and feel that he is gathering in dollars as well as trout
 In conclusion I would assure the good people of New Haven that here is the place to come for fortune This place cannot retrograde like some of the west ern bloom towns" of Kansas. Those places have no advantages except the rail roads running through them and the ad- joining farm lands; here we have the un- rivalled position at the head of Lake Su- perior and at the western limit ot naviga- tion. We are surrounded by rich mining and timber lands, and numerous railroads center here. Large interests are already established, and there is a healthy daily growth which can be plainly noted. I venture to predict that in the course of & decade or so this city will be the largest city in the state, and will eventually be- come a second Chicago. Its natural ad- vantages far exceed those of Chicago to- day, and we will see what the future will bring forth. Watch West SuperiorI T.

COMMUNICATIONS.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 At the last examination of pupils for ad- mission to High school held in one of the grammar schools scholar was allowed to pass who answered the question ''What is the equator?" thus: "A red line painted around the earth" It seems to us that such ignorance should effectually prevent pupil from passing for admission to High school. Possibly, however, the machine method prevails to such an ex- tent in our public schools that if this were the only error in the examination it would not be considered more serious than the spelling of the word Separate" as
 Hseperate." w. H. NJ

Those who broke yesterday broke an un- commonly fine day.
 Things are sometimes found as well as lost. Farmer Wrightman of Indiana found $11, 800 in cash and bonds in his wheatbin and few days previous to this Farmer Wilson of Iowa found $500 in his hayloft. A young woman of West Union, O., filled up pan with cornmeal and playfully ran her hand through the contents. She felt something on her finger, and on drawing her hand out found fine gold ring worth S1O encircling her third finger. a>
 Courts are called to decide some curious questions. For instance, the question as to whether Holsters should be legally measured on their backs or bellies has been brought before the police court of Manchester, N. H. A man who was ar rested for selling Holsters under the regu- lation measurement of ten and one-half inches contended that he had committed no offense, as the lobster when measured on it's back was within the legal require ments. The belly measurement, however, fell short. Each lawyer contended that he was in the right and the judge cannot yet tell which is right.
 A warning against red stockings is made public It has been remarked in Paris that the wearing by children of red stock. ings coincides with pustular eruptions on their legs and feet. The board of health employed chemical expert to ascertain whether the dyes coloring the stockings contained poisonous matter, and his re port says that all the many specimens sub mitted to him derived their red color from aniline and containing large proportion of antimonic oxide. As children perspir, freely this matter enters into solution ant is thus taken into the pores.

A Uksh California; man, the owner of a three-story hop house, recently conceived the idea of turning the building into mammoth incubator for the matching of chickens. In few weeks he had the place in condition, and the furnace was set to work on a setting of coco eggs. At the expense of cord and half of wood between 1,5OO and 1000 chickens were chirping in the hop house at the end of the period of incubation. This is not very good average for first-class incuba- tor, but it is thought that with the exer- else of more care better results can be ob- tained. The Ukiah man has given evi dence of his faith in the practicability of the scheme by setting second hatch of 24 ,0O0 eggs, which will be out in about two weeks.

The railroad system of Massachusetts is so extensive and convenient that only 31 of the 240 members of the lower branch of the legislature board away from their homes, most of these living out on Cape Cod or in the westernmost county of the State. In the old days nearly all the mem bers went to Boston expecting to be away from home until the close of the session. The change has undoubtedly conduced to lengthening of the session, as nothing is now done on Saturdays, comparatively little on Mondays, and early adjournments are sought on Friday afternoons. The dis cussion of the proposed salary grab has brought out these statistics as to the diff ferent rates of pay fixed during the last forty years: 1852, s2 day; 1857, ss a day; 1851, $500 year: 1864, s450; 1865, s4 a day; 1867, s5 day; 1871, $750 year; 1876, s65O; 1879, $500; 1884, s650; 1886, 9-50 --..-- .-

Judge Hudson on the Umanim-
ity of Jurors.

The following able and elaborate
argument is taken from Judge
Hudson's charge to the Grand
Jury. 1t ought to be carefully
read and considered by every in
telligent citizen Of Laurens county:
Gentlemen Of the jury, before
closing my instructions to you, l
invite your attention to a subject
of vital importance to the admins
tratiOn of our laws. Whatever
pertains to the mode Of dispensing
justice in Il circuit courts is of
deep concern to our people, and
should interest you and all who Of
flciate in this court, because we are
directly engaged in enforcing the
laws of our State, and have the
best opportunity of observing the
working Of u system of laws and
methods of deciding cases. The
result of my experience and re-
Election is that no better method of
deciding the facts of causes, crimi-
nal or civil, has yet been devised
than that of trial by jury. TO some
extent opinion is divided on the
subject, and there arc learned men
who contend that q large number
Of civil cases, at least, could be
more correctly adjudged by the
court without a jury. But the num-
Der of those who arc opposed to
the system of trial by jury is not
large, and never will increase suf-
ficiently to abolish this inestimable
right.
1t has been well said by an able
judge that "the jury is an indispcn-
sable part of the machine of justice.
Liberty cannot eXist without trial
by jury, and despOtism cannot long
survive with it, The hard sense
and courageous firmness of Eng
lish juries more than once pre-
served the liberties of the English
people against the king and his
servile judges" And again: "Trial
by jury popnlarizes the administra-
ton of justice by making it d part
of the business Of the people. The
people ought to share in the adj
ministration of the laws which
they are popularity supposed to
make. 1t adds to tho dignity and
responsibility of citizenship, and
instrqcts the citizen i'm his duties.
1T is the most effective agency for
the diffusion of II general knowl-
edge Of the law among the people.
1t brings to the aolutinn of the
facts of IL case common sense and
PRACTICAL experience"
In this opinion 1 heartily concur,
and such + the sentiments of the
great body of our people. So dear
to u people and to all English
speaking and liberty-loving people
Is the right Of trial by jury, that
there is no danger of II being sur.
rendered or seriously impaired
