From the Philadelphia Times.
That juries are affected by handsome
and languishing eyes is proven by a ie-
markable experience OF the reatest ad-
ocate at the New York bar. the late
James T. Brady. He wae counsel for
a young woman In a case involving an
attempt to break n will. His client sat
by his side. She was a very beautiful
young woman. whose eyes seemed al
ways TO rivet the attention Of those
upon whom her glance fell. There was
a pathetic expression which affected
every one. She was watching the jury
during the curse of the trial and at
last there was some complaint that she
was attempting by means of her
glances to excite the sympathy of the
jury.
Then Mr.. Brady arose and In one a.
the most touching and beautiful OF all
the addresses he ever made in court he
spoke OF the blessings which every one
who had an appreciation of beautiful
things and could see them enjoyed,
and dwelt for some moments upon the
happy lot of the jury. who could see the
budding of the howers-it was hen
springtime-and the charms OF nature,
then. suddenly turning to his client. he

eyes. hut had given to them that singu-
larry pathetic expression which she was

Middletown, May 2S.-It is the pur-

mediately, there is no means Of know
ing how long the command will be
here.
This is construed to mean that as
soon as the regiment is fitted out it
will be sent to the front. There is as
yet, however, no intimation as to where
the troops will 90.

ing that the officers shall have the let
