to subject themselves to the inconveni-
ence of serving upon juries, which LEADS
them to seek exemptions l believe that
a plan can be adopted by which these Cd
jections can be almost entirely removed
and the courts at the same time be given
the advantage of a large list of qualified
jurors and also the frequent service Of
undesirable jurors prevented. To do this
it viii be necessary TO do away with all
exemptions, except in certain special in
stances. Let the jury commissioners make
out an alphabetical list of all the male
citizens who are qualified to serve upon
juries. Chatham county should have at
least 5000 of this class. Let the court
begin with the first name on the list, sum
monlng as many jurors as may be needed
at each term of the court, and let no man
be summoned a second time until the en-
tire list has been exhausted, when the
courts would be furnished with a new
list which would of course, contain only
the names of those still living in the coun-
ty. By this means man who was drawn
for the City Court would not be drawn for
the Superior Court, and vice versa. The
two courts together require only 500 or 600
jurors a year. The consequence would be
that a juror would be called upon to serve
only once in seven or eight years, and
having served his time he would know
that he would not be called upon to serve
again in a number of years. This being
the case there would be but little objec-
ton on the part of business men and hun
dreds of others, who are now evading it,
to jury duty. The professional juryman
would become a thing of the past and the
results would be beneficial In every way"
Il can say conscientiously,' said Judge
Norwood, that I believe that we have
had much better class of jurymen in the
City Court in recent years than in former
times I make it a rule that no man shall
serve upon jury in the City Court whose
name is not drawn from the jury box, and
a list of the jurors drawn at each term of
the court is kept by me for this purpose
Another rule is, that no man shall serve
more than fourteen days, at the end of
which period he is discharged"

From the Baltimore American.
Among the curious productions which
emanate from the French press is paper
called the Mendicants' Journal. This is
published bi-weekly. 1t does not concern
itself with religion, drama. affairs of the
Senate, or the world of books, but is prac-
tieally published in the interest of profess
sional beggars, and contains many curious
advertisements, understood only by this
section of the community. We append a
few Of these advertisements, culled from
a recent number:
"At s O'Clock tomorrow a fashionable
funeral is TO be celebrated at the Church
of St. Angelo" 90
ION Saturday next, at noon the wedding
of a wealthy gentleman will take place at
the Catholic Cathedral"
"a vacancy has occurred for a blind man
who can play the violin. Collections good
Small premium required"
Wanted at once. for seaside resort, a
pair of helpless cripples.s Good business
References requircd; also, moderate pre-
MUM"
Those who have visited seaside resorts in
France must be well aware of the numer-
GUS fraternity of beggars who haunt such
places They are apparently suffering from
most of the diseases under the sun, by
means of which they excite general sym
patty and draw large incomes. In reality
most of them are clever imposters, ingen-
iously got up.
