It is Peculiar to Itself.

BEE county has for the first time
adopted the rule OF having a negro
on the grand jury aud one on the
petit jury for each week of the dis
trict court, in accordance with the
ruling OF the higher state courts
that indictments against negroes
by grand jury on which there
are no negroes, and convictions of
negroes by petit juries on which
the race is not represented are not
valid. 1t seems very doubtful
whether such a ruling would stand
q thorough and final test. There is
nothing Ia the constitution OF the
state which justi6es it. No reason.
able 40 unprecedented person would
object to having Intelligent and
worthy representatives of the race
to serve as jurors, but there is no
more reason for it than there would
be in declaring that a German, or
Frenchman, or one of any other
foreign nation could not be con-
victed except by jury of which at
least one Of their conntrymen was
a member Or, to bring it to a
mere question OF race, then no H.
diau or Chinese, or person. of any
other race could be convicted in
this state, unless their race were
on the jury. This is
absurd on the face Of it, as any
qualified citizen may sit on our
jurieS, and the law merely requires
an indictment aud trial by 4 jury

Poisoned Him to Save His Leg.
A Chinese boy was brought into
the Peking hospital terribly injur-
ed by q heavy log falling upon
him. The doctors, to save his life,
cut off his leg. The mother came,
apparently to help to nurse the lad.
The patient, however, almost i'm
mediately afterward died, aud ex-
pert examination showed his moth
er had given him arsenic. Her
reason, 1t is supposed (Says the
