The Curly Haired Juror.

1t is not generally known that
there is a well defined prejudice
against curly haired men when it
comes to choosing jury to try
criminal cases. The prejudice, when
it is manifested, comes from the de.
tense When asked to explain the
objection to curly haired men, a
prominent practitioner said: When
was just starting, my legal mentor
inculcated that idea in me- He said
that curly haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered dar-
lings of their parents, and IN their
youth had been SO used to having
their own way that they had come
to believe that everybody on earth
was wrong except themselves. In
this way the seeds of opposition
were sown, and when they grow
older they make it a point to disa-
gree with everybody and every
thing If everybody else on the
jury votes for acquittal, they vote
for conviction as matter of course,
They live on combat and are as stub
born as the days are long. A curly
haired man never gets on the jury

see him in time New Orleans

A GEORGIAN sNuFFRox.

Though fallen from your high degree,
Once tapped by princely fingers,
You breathe of more than burnt rappee. !"
Round you a memory fingers
OF those wild days of wine and wit,
OF patch, perul1e and passion,
When sprightly Oldfeld ruled the pit
And Hervey led the fashion,
When Walpole trimmed the ship of state
To meet each Tory billow,
When ''poet Pug lampooned the great,
When Pulteney played Spadillo,
When worthless Moll'' amused the court
With philosophic chatter,
When Bolingbroke pledged deep in port
1.-THE king across the water"
When flashed the lightnings of the dean
To blind the eyes of Stella,
When scofing Congreve vowed with spleen
The wares of Gay prunella,
When, stated with the boards delights
tFor Georgian bucks were gluttons),
The town sparks sought the shades Of
whites"
Or tossed the dice at Buttons"
When tabinets were all the vogue
For feminine adorning,
When Irish Biddy raised her brogue
And clacked her pals at morning,
When long and loud the conflict ragged
Betwixt the Macaroni
As each his diva's cause engaged
Faustina or Cuzzoni
Old snufbox, could you thrill to speech.
In gossip none were greater,
Whose chronicles exceed the reach
OF Taller or Spectator.
But, ah, as dumb as dead Queen Anne,
You lie in peace unbroken,
A remnant of the Georgian span,
A Hanoverian token!

of the late Melville Ford of Michi-

all classes.
II just happened to recall, he
said in response to several inquiries,
hearing poor Mel Ford tell about
how difficult he found it to write a

For Member of Congress,
FRANK NJ. EDDY,
WHAT THEY WANT.

From the miscellaneous haggllne
Of the democratic press Throughout
the state, it certainly begins to look
as if the Fusionists were trying tc
conduct this campaign on the plat
form anything to get there"
In the congressional campaign
one or two papers have ventured to
spring some of those old chestnuts
Of two years ago and have been SO
promptly sat upon that they have
desisted. Finding nothing else to
talk about, they have generalized on
the subject of greed and monopoAes,
showing an intimate acquaintance
with these evils.
But in the state campaign the
Fusionists are especially at loss to
know what to talk about. This cry
of reform sounds hollow, for. when
asked to give a bill of particulars,
they can't do it. The Republicans
themselves are looking out for clean
administration and for the Democrats
to adopt the same shibboleth is only
servile imitation.
But the Fusionists think they must
have the Offices and SO they continue
to haggle about this and that, but
never saying anything worthy of
notice. They want the offices and
even try to create dissention in the
Republican ranks in order to gain
their ends.
