TAILS JURORS.

Under an act passed by the last
Legislature, tails jurors who serve
our courts are entitled to the same
fees paid regular jurors.
Heretofore tails jurors, when not
sworn, only receive one dollar per
day for the time they served, unless
they were sworn on the regular
panel or tried on some case.
Under this law they will be paid
two dollars per day. This will
greatly increase the costs of our
courts. In felony cases there are
torty~eight jurors on the list. Oh
this number only twelve serve, but
the expense of these As men
will be 500 per day. Thirty>six

HIRAM, KING OF TYRE.
The PhGnician Monarch and His Effort 60
Initiate the Deity.

The Ph@n1cian Monarch and His Effort 60
Initiate the Deity.
Hiram, the Phenician monarch.
strove to initiate God by erecting
four mighty pillars. upon which he
caused seven heavens (apartments)
to be built. The first was construct
ed of glass-500 by 500 yards-stor-
ing therein mock images of the sun,
moon and stars. The second COM
partment-of iron, 1000 by 1000
yards-was the receptacle of pre-
cious stones, causing terrific noise
resembling thunder when they
crashed against each other and the
easement of the inolosure. The third
chamber was of lead, /, 500 by 800
yards. The fourth was of tin, 2, 900
by 1000 yards. The fifth was of
copper, $500 by 2, 500 yards. The
sixth was of silver. 5000 by 1900
yards. The seventh was of gold,
$500 by 3, 500 yards, containing pre-
oious stones, pearls and magnit-
cent throne. A channel of water
separated the apartments.
Hiram, initiating the royal splen4
dor of the court of King Solomon,
surrounded himself by the grandest
conceivable display of magnifcence.
In the seventh apartment was sta
toned a golden bed, the corners of
which were set in pearls without
value in all the world, sparkling
forth beautiful flashes resembling
lightning, which spread wonder and
terror among all his subjects.
The prophet Ezekiel was ordered
to appear before Hiram, who, at a
loss as to how to reach the seven
heavens wherein the monarch pre-
sided, was transported into his cas-
Ito by "the locks of his hair" Upon
peroeiving the divine messenger Hi
ram trembled. "Who art thou?"
thundered the indignant harbinger
of future events. why dost thou
boast? Art thou not born of wom-
ans womb"
II am" replied Hiram, "but
live forever. Like God dwelling
over waters, dwell I. Like him
reigning over seven heavens, I rule
in seven apartments. AS God is sur
rounded by lightning and thunder,
so am I. God has stars in heaven,
so have I. Many sovereigns have
succumbed to mortality, and I still
exist. Twenty-on kings of the
house of Israel and David, 20 proph-
cts and ten high priests have depart
ed this earth, but outlive them all. I"
why dost thou boast?" again de-
manded Ezekiel.
Because thou didst supply the
cedars for Solomon's temple? This
puts me in mind of a subject who
prepared splendid garment for his
sovereign, and as often as the serv-
ant gazed at the glorious piece of
work he boastingly asserted, This
is my manufacture, until the king,
observing his vanity, tore it off in
disgust. Such will be thy lot. The
temple which thou helpest to build
will be destroyed. What will then
become of thy pride?" DIR. Alexan-
der kohut in Independent.
