Criminal court lawyers always like to
have their cases on the first two or three
days of the term if possible. The reason
is that the jurors in many instances are
fresh and green at the work of listening
to evidence, and invariably show more
sympathy for the persons on trial than
they have after they have sat for a couple
of weeks.
Jurors in the general sessions court
are chosen to try cases for a month.
Every term there are always some who
have never been in the court before,
while of course others have had plenty
OF experience and are adamantine. So
the young lawyer at the beginning OF
the month dwells on the sympathetic
side of his case and resorts to all tricks,
such as bringing the weeping wife into
court, and tells the juries Of the terrible
results of a term in state prison.-New
York Times. =

Sparrow. aud nlackblrds.

Birds, Notwithstanding their attract
iveness in plumage and sweetness in
song, are many of them great thieves.
When nest building they will steal the
feathers ont of the nests of other birds,
and are often much inclined to drive off
other birds from n feeding ground even
where there is abundance. This is espe-
cially true of n of our greatest favor
ties, the robin redbreast, who will peck
and run after and drive away birds
much bigger than himself.
Very different rs the robin and tn
sparrow are in other things, they re
semble each other in this. On an earl
spring morning, when a little touch o
frost still made the surface of the earth
hard, l have seen a blackbird on a lawn
at last after great efforts extract a worm,
and this was the signal for a crowd of
sparrows, who, by dint of numbers,
managed to drive away the blackbird
and carry off the worm, to feed their own
young ones, no doubt.-Cassell's Maya

went to st. Louis, and before being caught
made two or three successful raids. On

Then Moore and Charlie Kenney, Of Gin

in the hip and killed. Moore fled, and
next turned up at Marion, o., where, in

At Kenton, where Ryan was caught by
Officer Murphy, Moore's good luck again
saved him. A peculiar and owe feature
Of the shooting was that Ryan was shot In
precisely the same spot as Kenney. Yet he

are dark blue and his hair is brown. His

1t is noteworthy what a number of
men eminent in the era 1s6l-65 are now
represented only in the female line of
descent. Neither Abraham Lincoln nor
jefferson Davis has a living grandson.
Neither has Andrew jackson, Thurlow
Weed nor Horace Greeley. General
Hancock's one son left behind him only
a small daughter. There is no represen-
tative of General Scott's name. A sim
gular parallel runs betwixt two Confed-
crate generals, Stonowall jackson and
John Morgan, prince of raiders. Each
died before the war ended, leaving one
fair daughter. The two girls grew mp,
married happily, bore each a daughter
and died o after giving birth to a
second child.-New York Press.
