TALBOT'S GRAND JURY.
IT WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO
SUPPRESS POLITICAL BRIBERY.
OTHER WORK.

IL w ILL MAkE AN AL TEMPT IL
SUPPRESS POLITICAL BRIBERY.
OTHER WORK.
EASTON. Nd. Nov. 1.-THE Novem-
Der srm of the Circuit Court will con-
vene on Monday next. The term will
be an important one There are a
number of people in jail or out on bail
on criminal charges awaiting the in
vesti cation of the grand jury. The
most important of the criminal cases
is that Of the negro in Jail charged
with the murder of another negro by
cutting him to death with razor
There Is another razor case against a
negro, where the charge is assault with
intent to kill.
Alleged violations Of the liquor law
will be gone into as never before by
proceedings before the grand jury, and
this Investigation it is likely, will Oc-
cupy several days. The new election
law will also claim its share of atten-
tion. There seems to be a great desire
on the part of all good citizens to stop
the bribery OF voters, and now that a
new election law has gone into effect
with strict and severe anti-bribery
provisions it is thought to be a good
llut 10 CHECK DIlDtlg anu PUNISH lhS
bribers at the outset. There is alleged
to be direct evidence against some ac-
tive politicians, but what is put forth
with so much assurance Of certainty
In common talk may not come to be
any legal evidence whatever when
sifted by a grand jury. The bringing
out cf Jail prisoner awaiting trial for
felony, having him registered as 2
qualified voter and then returned to
Jail, and on election day having him
brought out to vote, voted and again
returned to Jail are incidents the grand
jury will Investigate.
The matter of recommending liquor
licenses to Chapel district will also be
before the grand jury That district
is now dry, the November, 1895, grand
jury having refused to recommend any
one Cor license. Some alleged infrac-
tions Of the oyster, fish and game laws
will also be investigated and there
are ether matters, not proper to be
mentioned here. which will claim the
attention of that body. The session o.
court will, therefore, probably be Z
/ long one. The forty-eight from which
the grand jury panel is to be drawr
are already selected and form an intel
ligent and representative body Of men

EYEsIGHT OF BIRDS.
wonderf Powers of Vision Of the Cow,
the Buzzard and the vuture.

Wondt rful Powers of Vision Of the Cow,
the BuzxArd and the vulture.
When an animal is killed and skin
ned, says Sir Samuel Baker, before
the operation is completed the first bird
10 appear is the willy and onnipresent
crow. The next is the ordinary buzzard.
Both these birds are near the surface Of
the earth, seeking their food With un-
firing energy. But although they may
have lseen power Of scent. even hey, in
my opinion, are mainly guided ky their
aouteness Of vision, as they are always
on the alert, hunting in every direction,
and, in fact, keeping sharp lockout.
The third arrival is the small red
necked vlllture. This bird descends from
a great height. 1t is now most interest
ing to watch the concentration from all
quarters OF the compass. This is easily
arranged by lying beneath a bush and
shading the eyes while you gaze into
the deep blue sky. 1t Will appear to be
all alive with the smallest flies. all
moving, all hurrying and descending.
These become rapidly larger, and you
are aware they are vultures, collecting
from such enormous attitudes that were
a mountain top exposed it would be
capped with everlasting snow. While
you are straining your eyes to peer into
these blue vaults you are startled by a
tremendous rush like the roar of a
rocket This is the descent, with closed
wings, Of some Of the large, bare necked
vultures, who have plunged like plum
met for some thousand feet to share in
the feast below. All those birds flying
ut high attitudes have been soaring up
on endless wings, never fatigued by
molten, as they seldom flap, but only tC
adjust themselves to tho currents of all
upon which they float, and having, witt
their extraordinary powers Of sight, OBJ
served tho hurry Of smaller birds t
some attractive point, they have at ono
directed their course to fulfill the Bibli
cal expression, Where the carcass is
there shall the eagles (vultures) be gath
