cases here looks as though 10
might be growing serious to
the fellows whose names grace
the calendar. As the consti-
tuition does not provide that
natives shall be tried by Ha-
waiianS, though it isa custom,
and citizens of that rationale
ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed by the present Advisory
Council.
In some parts of the United
States, New York for instance,
to be eligible to jury duty, a
man must be a citizen of the
United States, a resident of
the district in which he is
called and be the owner either
in his or his wife's name, of
two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real or personal
property" Citizens are Great
ed by law and natives do not
become citizens until the
statutes make them such. In
this instance the taking of the
oath to support the present
government is all that is
necessary. This seems to de-
eide the question whether a
change in the form of govern
ment nullihes the citizenship
of the people" To become a
citizen now, one must be
politically born again and the
result of last Mondays mid
wifery was that all but three
of the panel died "a bornin."
The only relief for tins state
of affairs seems to be in
amending the constitution;
men do not become criminals
until they are convicted of the
charges on which they are
tired and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. If they are
not tried within a certain
time they have a good strong
kick which must be recog-
nized by the court. We
cannot see where the taking
of the required oath to support
the government is a guarantee
that the verdict rendered will
be according to the law and
the evidence, the result the
court and attornies should
strive to obtain. The Judi
ciary being considered above
politics it must not be sup
posed that the court would be
a party to increasing the num-
Der of supporters of the
government by any such pecu-
liar methods.
If you can get an article
that will DO all and more than
another will at the same price,
it seems reasonable to decide
that the more versatile is the
one to be used. The I'D. & D."

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1894-04-19

There is, perhaps, no bird in all the
world more intelligent and cunning
than our common American crow.
The following story is related and
vouched for by Alexander Wilson:
On the Delaware, few miles below
Easton, resided a gentleman who>had
reared a crow. with whose tricks and
society he used frequently to amuse
himself. This crow lived long in the
family but at length disappeared.
having as it was then supposed, been
shot by some gunner or destroyed by
accident.
About eleven months after this, as
the gentleman one morning was
standing on the river bank. number
of crows happened to pass by, one of
them left the flock, and flying direct
ly toward the gentleman, alighted on
his shoulder and began to gabble
away at great rate, as one long alb
sent friend naturally does on meeting
another.
On recovering from his surprise,
the gentleman recognized his old ac-
quaintance and tried by several civil
but sly manoeuvres to lay hold of
him; but the crow. having now had a
taste of the sweets of liberty, escaped
and flew away with his companions.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

As judge, Bushe was merciful,
and, owing to an incident in his early
career as a lawyer, he was somewhat
slow to convict on c'rcumstantial evi-
dence. A short time after he was
called to the bar he was retained to
defend a prisoner accused of murder
The victims name was Walter Mey-
ler, and it was supposed that he had
been killed by party of rebels. of
whom one became an infOrmer, and
was the chief witness for the prose
cution, The witness was correct and
careful in all his details, He stated
that the body of Meyler had been
buried close to the shore, wrapped in
a coat of the same texture and color
as that stated to have been worn by
the deceased. Bushe neither cross
examined 4 witness, nor called evi-
dence upon the part of his client; and
before the judge commenced his
charge, the jury stated that they were
prepared with their verdict. Bushe
said, "Wait moment, gentlemen
did any of you know Walter Meyler,
the deceased?" The reply was, that
all the jury knew him we'll and i'm

may of the auditors, "W alter Meyler,

A GOOD STORY OF LINCOLN

There appeared in a Washington
paper some time ago the following
adv dvertisement:
"W ANTED.-By a gentleman and
wife, old residents of Washington,
half pew, or two seats. in St. Johns
Episcopal church. Best social refer
ences given"
The willingness to give social refer
ence to secure the privilege of wor-
shipping In st Johns church reminds
correspondent of the Chicago News
of story Of President Lincoln. One
day during the war a young officer
called upon him to secure an appoint
ment in the army, and brought with
him letters of recommendation signed
by all of the f. f. VS. in the District
of Columbia. There had been no ap-
pication for office before President
Lincoln so strongly supported by
the aristocracy, and, turning to the
young man, he told him he would
give him the appointment, and hand
ed him back the papers.
Don't you want to place the papers
on file?" asked the office seeker. Il
supposed that was the custom"
Yes, that is the CUSTOM" said
President Lincoln; ''but you better
take them with you, as you might
want to JON St. Johns church"

PATRICK HENRY.

"reminiscences of our country's
great and good men of past genera
tons must be interesting and instruct
i've; and they might afford profitable
study to some of the great men of
to- day.
Patrick Henry, in his boyhood,
went with his mother to hear
the celebrated Scotch Presbyterian
preacher, Samuel Davies, and the
wonderful eloquence of that man pro
duced an effect upon the boys mind
which never lost its elevating power
Henry, through his manhood's life in
the after years, often spoke of him in
terms of reverence and admiration,
and declared that any success which
he himself had achieved was due in a
large measure to the inspiring ex-
ample of the pure minded orator of
the Presbyterian church
Patrick Henry's was a busy and
and stirring life Once launched
upon the sea of national affairs he be-
came great political chief and guide,
and there were clouds as well as sun
shine about his path. Whatever may
have been the outward show, from
contact with trying circumstance, we
know that in his heart the faith was
always kept When near the close of
life, and in feeble health, he laid his
hand upon the Bible, and addressing
a young friend, said-"Here is book
worth more than all others ever print
ed: vet If is nv misfortune never TO
have read it with proper care and at

About the same time he wrote to
his daughter hear it said that the
Deists have claimed me! The thought
gives me far more pain than does the
appellation. of tory; for 1 consider
true religion of infinitely higher i'm
portance than politics; and 1 find
much cause to reproach myself that l
have lived so long and have not stamp
ed in my life an unquestionable proof
to all men of my being a Christian"
