the way common throughout the whole
continent. This, however, is never final.
The accuser's witnesses swear to any
thing required of them without the slight
est compunctiOn of conscience, and as
the prosecutor must procure his evidence
hrst, the defendants witnesses are ready
to swear, and do swear, the opposite Of
all that has been said. Trial is Invariably
in open court, and nothing said by the
witnesses for the prosecution can be con-
cealed from those that are TO follow.
There are no atfidavits. thus making con-
tradiction simple and safe. If rebutting
evidence were allowed, the most paltry
trial would be interminable. For a wit
ness to be called liar is, in such a case,
a compliment. 1t proves that his evil
dence told, and that he, by inference is
very clever fellow. If the same man
were accused of bewitching he would re-
gard it as a foul libel and demand the
poison bowl without an hours delay.
To remedy the defects Of trial in court,
that by ordeal is adopted in all kinds of
causes, both civil and criminal AS the
case proceeds before the council, the ac-
cused at intervals demands the AliUai,
and this demand his friends, if they be-
lieve him innocent, persistently press
The accuser resists the demand as un-
necessary, knowing that should the cul-
prit, even If caught red-handed, recover
he will be placed in a difficult position.
He will in that case have no claim to
compensation for an injury, and NAV in
turn be successfully sued for willfully
seeking to destroy another mans reputa-
ton. The belief in the absolute certainty
OF trial by mlodi is universal and the be-
ginning and end Of reasoning is thus:
1T he is guilty, he dies; if he does not
die, should the stolen property be found
on his person, he is not guilty; another
put it there, or he was bewitched. -

ence Monthly.

Period Last Year.
SAN FRANCISCO NJ

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5th.
The condition of the Wheat market in so
far rs regards higher prices is not looked
upon very favorably by experts. The surplus
ofgrain likely TO be carried over for the sea-
son is largely estimated, on top of an almost
certain enormous increase in the new crop.
one commentator on the prospects calls at
tention to the TACT that, so far as this conti-
nent alone is concerned, there are SO,216.0oo
bushels of wheat in sight east Of the Rockies,
in comparison with Al ,473,O0O bushels
year ago, or about double the quantity. This
morning all the Eastern markets were weak
with the exception OF Chicago. where prices
closed one-half of cent higher. The local
market was lower with sales of 2 100 tons
1900 tons of May at 81 271S@1 2754, and
200 tons of December at from 81 1890

Barley options were steady. The sales were
200 tons, 100 tons of May at S45sc, and 100
tons OF Seller '93, new, at S41sc. The receipts
We're 2,722 centals. The English and French
markets were weak and dull
Arrivals of early Vegetables were heavier
today. Potatoes mold steady under far de-
mand. onions have frmer tone. Mush-
rooms are not SO plentiful and the price IS
governed entirely by the quality. There are
no Tomatoes Offering.
The fresh fruit market is well supplied with
oranges and apples, and the better qualities
bring top prices, which are, however, heavy,
esteclahy ia oranges. Lemons are scarce
ana firm. There are no changes in lines.
In the dried fruit market prices are stlifiy
maintained, with business quiet under light
offerings.
Prices of fresh butter are weaker again un-
der an accumulation OF stock. Inferior grades
are neglected altogether. The egg market is
weaker, with supplies heavy and sellers in
the majority. The cheese market is un-
changeus with liberal supplies.

morning. with light arrivals ol California
