I've simply been a bum, and hope the
Court1l
Be Jest as easy on me as it can"
Then spake the Judge: such helpless
worthless creatures
Should never be allowed to bum and
beg;
Your case, it is true. has some redeem

For in your country's cause you lost
a leg
And vet l feel the world needs an ex-
ample

roam:
The sentence is. That all your life

home"
The soldier stared, Dumb Silent as

Then, in voice of trembling pathos.

Judge turn your head and give Inc
one look at you
That voice is like an echo from the
dead"
Then forward limped he, grimy hand
extended
While tears adown his sun Drowned
cheeks did roll,
And said. with slang and pathos
strangely blended:
Why, Colonel Sweety, durn your
brave OF soul!"

on the Potomac.

On the FotoEnacs
During the retreat of Gen Early's
army from Maryland after the battle
of Fort Stephens, my regiment, the
One Hundred and Twenty-second New
York. was detailed to support a sec
ton of artillery sent In advance of
Gen. Wright's command, which was In
hot pursuit. The opportune arrival
of the Sixth and Ninth Army corps
in Washington had defeated the plans
Of the rebel army to seize and destroy
that place, and after a spirited en-
gagement upon its outskirts they hasti
ly withdrew towards the dividing line
between Union and Secession, viz, the
Potomac.
We pushed on rapidly until the
heights north Of the river were reach
ed, and then halted. The artillery
went into position, and after stacking
arms, we rushed out to the orow of
the Hill to see, II possible, sorIe traces
of the retreating enemy. We had a
splendid view of the country south
ward and westward. But the enemy
appeared I'm the distance, I'm the form
of Imboden's cavalry only.
While we stood looking of across
the country we noticed the attention
of the artillery officers was riveted
upon clump of small trees Just across
the river below us. For some time
field glasses were Ieveled at the little
grove, and then came the order TO
man the guns"

We could not at first perceive. But

SCORES JURY SYSTEM.

Alexandria, La. Nov. l2.--"It seems to be a part of the teaching and edu- cation of the mon of this State that it Is honorable on their part to secure the acauittai of any friend who may have violated the criminal laws. regard less of what consequences may follow to society" declared the grand jury In its report submitted to the district court here today. .
 For the punishment of homicides.
 the report continued. "our jury system seems to be a farce. a mockery and a failure. We believe that 1t will cont tinue to be failure until the youth Of this country. through home training. education and the example of the best class of the people. are taught that fury service is one of the honored priv ileres. as well as duties. of our sys- tenn of government. and that the viola ton of the oath of juror Is as seri- ous a crime as can be committed"

There Is abun- dant proof that catarrh is constitu- tionaI disease. It Is related to scrofu- la and consumption. being one of the wasting diseases.

Did you hear it?
 The rumble of the heavy waogons. mayhap the growls of the beasties. per- haps the impatient neighing of some sleep?
 If you did, 1t means to your sleepy senses that the big show Is in town.
 Barnum & Bailey's circus reached Montgomery Saturday while the hours were wee an sma'. and will give two performances on the lot of this city this afternoon and evening. There will be no difficulty in finding the lot; just follow the crowds.
 About 1 o'clock this morning, the first of four trains arrived over the Louisville and Nashville Road and the work of building up tented city be- gan. Later the other three trains the show uses came to port and discharg- ed their freights of wagons loaded with equipment, their animals that will charm and interest and their perform CTS that will mystify and delight. By 10 o'clock everything will be in readi- ness for the street parade through the business section of the city.
 This feature has been reinstated by the management in a more pretentious manner than ever attempted in the past Already crowds have begun to arrive in town and the probability Is that the circus will play to capacity. Those who wish to avoid the rush at the ticket wagons can buy reserved seats and admissions all day Saturday at the Exchange Drug Company. the price there being the same as charged on the grounds.
 There will be thousands of wonder full sights to be seen beneath those white tents. The program Is strictly European bill. filled with names fa- nous in the Old World hut new to America. There is new and bril- lant spectacle. several groups of won derfully trained animals, embracing everything from an ant-eater to an elephant; a company of the funniest clowns that ever frisked on the saw du st and the thrilling act of Desperate. who dives from the dome of the tent and lands below on his chest. Then there is Jupiter. a magnificent horse. that goes up in balloon and comes down amid a shower of fireworks.
 Two performances will be given. one at 2 in the afternoon and the other at at night, the doors opening an hour earlier for an inspection of the great est menagerie in the world. The en- tire circus outfit Is newly constructed this year. And in all It's past splen- did history it has not been as great and as good as 1t is this year. It covers fourteen acres of ground.
