Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service. One of them relates
how an old man, brought rather unwill>
ingly to the altar, could not be induced
to repeat the responses. my good man, y
at length exclaimed the clergyman, Il
really cannot marry you unless you do
as you are told" But the man still re-
manned silent. At this unexpected hitch
the bride lost all patience with her future
spouse and burst out with, SO on, you
old toot! Say it after him just the same
as if you was mockin' him. The same
difficulty occurred in another case. The
clergyman, after explaining what was
necessary and going over the responses
several times without the smallest effect,
stopped in dlsmay, whereupon the bride,
groom encouraged him with $50 ahead.

Upon another occasion it was, strangely
enough, the woman who could not be
prevailed upon to speak. When the
clergyman demonstrated with her she
indignantly replied: "Your father mar
ried me twice befoor, and he wasn't akin

This is an echo of the sentiment that
breaks from the lips of the peasant poet
who is toiling and despairing at the
same time among the bare and sombre
hills of Scotland. These children of
song were both doomed to hopeless
by poverty, stung by the insults of pat
ronage, and wounded by neglect. Both
asserted themselves with the pride of
genius and the dignity of conscious
manhood, but the spirit of the coming
age had found it's voice too soon. Burns
had more combative temper, stronger
and more intelligent, weapon to turn
against the world that frowned upon
him, though the shafts of his satire
glanced from an impenetrable surface
and only crushed him in the rebound.
The tragedy of Mozart's life has not
been so clearly outlined in his work. 1t
has found expression only in music that
speaks from soul to soul, but tells no
definite tale of wrong or suffering.
The genius of these men was unlike
and they differed widely in character as
we'll as education, but there is certain
kinship in the spirit that underlies the
pathetic ballads of the one and the great
tone poems of the other. 1t is the spirit
of love and humor, the intense humani-
ty, the irrepressible sympathy with all
living things that has brought them so
near to the heart of the world. Both
were poet singers, both were clear sins
pie. tender, natural, and true. Both,
toil-worn and unfortunate, died early,
and it was left for another generation to
shed its tears and cast its laurels over
their graves. Nowhere is the bitter
irony of fate more striking than in the
stately mausoleums and magnificent
statues reared over the dust or built in
memory OF these immortal singers. II

A Woman Surrounds Herself With
Outlaws Stockton Outdone,
From the san Francisco Examiner.
Three years ago, Mrs. Wharton J. An
1 derson, middle age woman of rare
beauty, who is now spending a few
weeks of her wedding tour with friends
on Grand avenue, was the leader OF q
band OF outlaws in Australia. Although
poss sssed of over quarter of million
of dollars, she went to that wild country,
collected the band and placed herself at
the head of it. Her object was not to
steal. but 10 enable her, for the first time
in her life, to have her own way in every
thing and make her will law. Her out
Iaws-for outlaws they certainly were

she became known as 1.-The Bandit
Queen
Up to the time she was % years Of age
she had never had her wish in the slight
est thing, and even her smallest wish
was denied. Left an orphan when but
year old, she was adopted by Major E.
Thompson, a cruel, stern man, who alb
solutely governed her as a man would an
animal. A woman, he always declared,
was simply slave. About four years
ago he died, leaving all his property to
his adopted daughter.
When she found herself in possession
of fortune she knew at last that the
aim of her life was reached. She con-
verified everything into cash and went to

Sauaring the Circle.

The origin of the problem is almost
lost in the mists of antiquity, but there
is a record of an an attempted quadra-
ture in Egypt 500 years before the exc
dus of the Jews. There is also a claim,
according to Hone, that the ploblem was
geometrician of Chios-not the Physi>
cian-500 B. G. Now, the efforts of Hip
pocrates were devoted toward convert
ing a circle into a crescent, because he
had found that the area of a figure pro-
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radii in circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line of junction.
This is the famous theorem of the lines
of the ''lunes of Hippocrates," and is,
like glauber's salts out of the philosi-
piers stone, an example of the useful
results which sometimes follow search
for the unattainable.
The oldest mathematical book in the
world is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind" in the British Museum, protested
to have been written by Ahmes, a scribe
of King Ra a-rus, about the period be-
tween 1000 and 1900 B. G. This "Papy-
rus Rhindn was translated by Eisenlohr
of Leipsic few years ago, and it was
found to contain rule for making a
square equa. in area to a given circle.
1t was not put forth as an original dis
coyery, but as the transcript of a treatise
500 years older still, which sends us back
to, approximately, $500 B. G., when
Egyptian mathematician solved, or
thought they had solved, the problem OF
| SOARING the circle.
The rule given by Ahmes requires that
the diameter of circle shall be shorten
ed by one ninth, and q square erected
upon this shortened line. The area oil
such square approximates the area OF
the circle, but of course, is not exact, and
is not even as close result as that al

STATE COURT OF APPEALS.
The Right to Trial by Jury.

In the case of Miller against the Com
monwealth from the Circuit Court OF
Rockingham county the opinion, which
was delivered by Judge Lewis and dis
sented to by Judge Lacy, was voium-
nous and interesting paper. Mary Mil
Ter, the plaintiff in error, was tried be-
! fore justice of the peace Of Rocking
ham county and sentenced to pay a fine
of 500 for misdemeanor, from which
she appealed to the County Court, and
before any further proceedings were had
she moved the court to quash the war
rant and discharge her from custody on
the ground that the justice had no juris
diction in the case. The motion was
overruled and her case came up for trial,
the jury returning a verdict of guilty
and fixing her punishment at one month
and twenty days in jail and fine of $17.
A motion for new trial was overruled,
but writ of error was awarded by one
OF the Judges Of the Supreme Court The
paper quotes from the Code and saws:
justices of peace and police justices are
given jurisdiction over the offense cons
current with that of the county and
corporation courtsn The woman was
charged with keeping disorderly
house. The opinion states that the
guarantee of the constitution relied on
is plain and unambiguous and declares
in unmistakable terms that in all crimi>
nal offenses the accused has the right to
a speedy trial by an impartial jury
1t further explains that there are
many minor offences, such as Sabbath,
breaking, drunkenness, vagrancy, &C..
which are triable without a jury, and
the right of trial by jury is that which
existed when the Constitution was
adopted The paDar stimulates that the
keeping OF disorderly house does not
come in this class, and terms it an Of
Tense OF gross nature "There is no
authority" the opinion declares, 'of
which we are aware that holds that the
offence is, or at any time in our judicial
history ever was, triabIe without jury,
and it is needless to say that it is not
competent for the Legislature by classi>
flying it, as it has done in section 4106 of
the Code, with offences which are so
triable, to deprive a person accused of
the offense of the benefit of a jury trial"
The Judgment of the lower court was
reversed and the plaintiff ordered to be
discharged from custody.
Winfield Liggett, Esq, of Harrison
burg, argued the cause of the plaintiff,
Miller, before the Supreme Court. and
Attorney General Scott represented the
Commonwealth. The points presented
were new and interesting, and a ruling
was desired on that account, as much
as for the relief of the accused.

Come on Now.
and Observer

THE DURHAM GLOBE continues with
force and power and patriotic ardor to
urge that a fund shall be raised by the
popular subscription to have a North
Carolina exhibit at the Worlds fair.
That was the alternative which was sug-
gested when it was ascertained that the
provision made by the legislature was
not available, and The GLOBE has earn
than advise and recommend it started
the list with a subscription Of $3.50.
This is very handsome. Why may
not others follow such a patriotic lead ?
In fact we observe that the Blackwell
Durham Tobacco company has with the
usual liberality of its president sub
scribed a thousand dollars. If others
would now say the word, the matter
would 90 forward. Cannot a hundred
patriotic citizens each contribute $3.50 !:
1t is true that some provision has been
made by the state board of agriculture,
but the cause is one that appeals to the
individual citizen-and any addition to
what the board can appropriate will be
OF material assistance. Mr.. Leo ID.
Heartt, Of Durham will receive all sub
scriptiOns. We follow THE GLOBE in
urging our liberal aad patriotic citizens
to take the matter in hand and make the
proposed exhibit an assured success.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-Advices of the
Associated Press from Valparaiso, Chile,
under date of December I'd, relate an in
cident in connection with the refugee
question, showing with what zeal they
are watched. One of them, who has been
living at the American Legation several
months. left there quietly the last week
in November, and went to his home,
which is only two doors from the Iega-
ton. Spies discovered this, and while
they made no immediate attempt to ar
rest him, they blockaded his house to
prevent his escape. The next day the
man requested Minister Egan to escort
him to the legation, but Egan notified
him that he had left the asylum volun-
tarily, and he was unable to escort him
back.
Thanksgiving Day was observed by the
American sailors in Valparaiso Bay by
number of boat races, and a dinner was
given aboard the Baltimore to the corr
peting crews of the French men-of-war.
The Baltimore and three French vessels
were the only men of-war in port at the
time, and invitations were not extended
to Chile ships to take part i'll the races.
but at the invitation of Captain Schley
the commanders of the Cochrane and
Esmeralda and other Chilean naval Off
GERS went aboard the Baltimore and wit
messed the races. The Americans won
three races and the Frenchmen one. There
were also number of games aboard the
Baltimore, and afterward about 500 Amer

FOOLS and Folly.

All folly is not despicable, any more
than are all fools, and who Will dare to
underrate this mighty guild when their
achievements are recalled? They have
been the consorts of queens, which as
sures their station in other countries, and
they have amassed great fortunes, which
confirms their responsibility in this.
They have been playwrights, counselors,
heroes of novels from illustrious pens,
founders of academies and companions
OF the wisest.
Most of US have decided antipathy to
those faultless persons who always do
and say the wise and proper thing. Pos
sibly q consciousness OF our own intirnli-
ties make them an irritation, though we
will fatter ourselves that such perfection
lacks piquancy, like an unsalted Wand.
A dash of salt, III the way of folly, would
put them in touch with humanity at
large, and we would find them vastly
more congenial for ordinary social inter
course. The gentle Ella carries it even
further when he says: Take my word
for this, friends, and say a fool told it to
you, if you please, that he who hath not q
drachm of folly in his mixture hath
pounds of much worse matter in his
composition" MARY V. WorsteIl i'm
