Tho Appellate Courts.

Appellate courts can know nothing Of
the real trial us it did occur, yet they
are not deferred from granting NOW
trials and practically cooperating with
INSCRIPTIONS attorneys for the escape os
men guilty Of the most wicked murders
Appellate courts too frequently seem to
think that superior knowledge Of tho
law is shown not by affirming the &C.
ton of the trial court, but by standing
in antagonism to it and by criticising
its action.
1t is like the case of the bold, open
critic, who frequently gets credit for SUI
perior knowledge by the audacity of
his criticism, when, III fact, he knows
nothing of the subject. Appellate courts
are very often made up of men wanting
i'll knowledge of the most elementary
principles OF the criminal law, for they
have never either studied or practiceG
it. With this want of knowledge of the
very law they are seeking to administer,
they try the case not on its merits, to
determine the guilt or innocence of the
man, but they try it by some technical!
rule which has really 10 relation to the
guilt or innocence of the accused. -

Reflections of a Bachelor.

AS soon as a man shows that
he knows much about women a
girl begins to think he has a
past.
There never lived an old maid
who didn't believe that she
could have got married if she
had wanted to.
Just because a woman cries
hardest at another woman's
funeral is no sigh that she was
her dearest friend.
Some well.meaning people go
through life as badly misunder-
stood as a cross eyed girl under
