Judge and Jury.

Some good stories arc going tho rounds
concerning the late Sir Matthew Bcgbie,
chief justice of British Columbia. Here
is one of them;
In 1883 n man was charged in Victoria
with having killed another man with n
sandbag, and in the face of the judges
summing up the jury brought in a verdict
of Not guilty" This annoyed the chief
justice, who Mt once said:
"Gontlcmcn of the jury, mind, that is
your verdict, not mine on your con-
science will rest the stigma of returning
such dsgracoful verdict Many repcti.
lions of such conduct us yours will make
trial by jury horrible farce and the city
of Victoria nest of immortality and crime
Go; l have nothing more co say to you"
And then turning to the prisoner tho
chief justice added; You are discharged
Go and snndbag some of those jurymen,
They deserve itl"- Westminster Gazette.

" Things.O

There are few words in the English
language of such comprehensive APP
propriateness as the word things"
We put on and take off "things." We
put down and. take up q" things" We
walk over " things" and pick things"
up, and put things" away. We love
"things" and hate things" and con-
slider "things" and think about
"things." We look beyond the
"things" seen to the "things" not
seen. And these are "things" tenn
poral, and those are " things" eternal.
And each and every one of these
"things" has a different significance
and belongs TO different class. There
are material things" among them,
and immaterial "things." They are
physical and mental; of heaven and
earth; of time and of eternity. A word
of no social definition, it designates
everything in turn. For it may be
anything. 1t may be nothing. 1t is a
facile snare to the slipshod writer.
Dilating on the beauties of "every-
thing" this "lovely thing" or that
"exquisite thing" tempts him to rest

word. 1t is the ready recourse of the
shallow clatterer, who calls her friend a
"sweet thing" as frequently as she
speaks of her enemy rs a "spiteful
thing" 1t is the refuge of the lazy,
the negligent, the ignorant talker of
any age, to whom the proper names of
articles are superhuous so long as the
word ".things" exists in the diction.
airy. So universally misused, abused,
and overworked is this general term
that the proper thing under the cir
cumstances would be so far as pos
sible to ignore it in our own converse
ton and in the talk of other people, and
to insist that ideas be conveyed by
words which mean exactly what is in
tended to be expressed, instead of by
word which means anything or moth
ing at all.-Harper's Young People.

Country Lad and the Jockey,

Years ago Mr.. Neal Dow was passing
down Exchange street and noticed a
gathering of people, among whom was
the mayor Of the city. In the center
of the group was country lad about
eighteen years old, crying. The lad
been imposed upon by noted horse
jockey of the town, who had got the
boy drunk, and then induced him to
swap the horse the boy had driven into
town for an old plug. Upon hearing
this story and telling the boy to follow
him, and lead the Jockeys horse, Mr..
Dow led the way to the latter's stable,
nearly mile distant. Not finding the
Jockey in, the old horse was turned
into the stable; and Mr.. Dow, with the
country lad still following, turned to go
down town again. On the way they
met the jockey driving in wagon to
which the lads horse was attached.
"That's my HORSE" said the boy.
Mr.. Dow stepped into the road, took
the horse by the bride, and called to
one of his own employees who was pass.

Then, telling the boy to take the

they went, what am to do with my

Old Printers,

One of the advantages of the trade
of typesetting is that man can work
at it up to a later period of life than
men can work at most other trades
Every now and then stories are print
ed about working compositors who
are so years old or over, but the
are certainly not many blacksmith :
or carpenters or engineers or brick
layers or matters or pressmen who
can follow their trade at that ag0,
There are lots of typesetters 70 yea' ;
old, and bigger lots 60 years old, brit
there are very few Of the other skill
ed trades at which men can pick up
a living when they are 60 or70. 1t is
also a fact that typos are constantly
improving their minds while porting
over the lease. y Philadelphia Tele

Summer Wood. the late small pox
patient, was sent in the direction of
Denver last night as far as 81 would
take him. He was also provided
with some small change, which the
doctors and the officers ut the sta

the pest house six weeks, and that
the disease gained no Roadway in

cautions and the admirable handling
of the case by Drs. Eyster and Sala,

latter as county physician having the
