MacauIav ~ 4 Child.

Thomas Darlington Macaulay should
perhaps have ranked with the uni
versal geniuses, but it is true that his
precocious gift was largely In the d.
rection Of literature. He read inces-
sanity from the age Of three. At seven
he had composed. q very fair CON-
pendulum Of universal history from the
creation to 1900. At eight he had
written a treatise destined to convert
the natives Of Malabar to Christianity.
As recreation. from this weighty
work he wrote in the same year a ro-
nance In the style Of Scott in three
cantos, entitled 1.-The Battle of Chev-
iot." A little later came long poem
on the history Of Olaf Magnus and q
vast pile Of blank verse entitled. Fin
GALA Poem In Twelve Books" But
be disliked mathematics and did not
pass his examinations in that subject,
thus standing out among all child
prodigies. His memory was such that
be literally never could forget any
thing and after twenty years could
repeat bits of poetry read only once.

SPOILED ITS EFFECT.
A Speech to the Jury That Was e.
fsetivsiy Answered.

foctiveiy Answered.
A we'll known English barrister,
whom we will call Mr.. T.. was a most
eloquent speaker. and his voice. par
ticulurly IN its pathetic tones. was
melody itself. His power over Il jury
was astonishing. and 1t was very sell
dom that he failed to secure Il YER
dict for his client.
On one occasion. however, he was
beaten and in such a ridiculous man.
ner that crowded court and even the
grave Judge were convulsed with
laughter ut the burlesque Of the result.
The case was a charge Of murder.
Mr.. K. was for the defense. His
peroration was exceedingly touching
and beautiful.
"Gentlemen of the jury" said he,
If you can find this unhappy prisoner
ut the bar guilty Of the crime with
which he is charged after the argu-
ments to the contrary which l have
laid before you. pronounce your fatal
verdict. Send him to the dungeon.
awaiting the death which he is to re-
ceive at your hands. Then go to your
families, lay your heads on your pill
lows-and sleep. If you cant"
The effect Of the closing words was
really thrilling. But presently the
counsel for the prosecution rose and
said:
"Gentlemen of the jury, I should
despair, after the affecting speech
which has been made to you by my
learned brother. Of saying anything to
do away with his eloquence. l never
heard Mr.. X. speak that better than
when he spoke it now. Once heard
him speak it in case Of stealing at
Leeds and again In case at Manches-
ter, and the last time l heard it was
when two men were tried for pocket
picking. But | never knew him to
speak it so affectingly as just now"
This was a poser. The jury looked
at one another, whispered together.
and the speaker saw instinctively that
he had them. He stopped at once,
closing with a single remark:
IF you can't see. gentlemen Of the
jury, that this speech fits all cases
then there's no use my saying any
thing more"
And there wasn't. He had made his
case and got his verdict.-Exchange.

The Working of the Law

There was considerable speculation as to the result OF the work
ing OF the primary law before the presentations of petitions a made
1t a to the average voter a matter too complex to bear results
Since the candidates have been about and the law given a chane it is
found to work in a general satisfactory way
A number OF electors have declined o sign the certificates Of nom
nation as il states that the electors intend to support the candidate
1t the coming election. In a number of instances the man approach
ed agrees to sign if he does not take n oath of support. This par
agraph Of the law is a trihe severe. Many men willingly sign a
petition to help a candidate get on the ticket but when it comes to
swearing that they intend to support the candidate they object. Other
men equally entitled to the support may appear on a ticket and under
the right OF franchise the elector should and does have the right to
use his best judgment in the choice Of the men to be elected. This
particular part of the law needs a remedy at the coming legislature.
Under the small percentage Of voters needed to entite a candidate
to enter the field and be placed o a ticket it is unreasonable for a large
number of candidates to exact such a statement from the nan
signing his petition. AS every candidate knows who has u for office
that it is o promises that bring about his election. Were such the
case there would be Tor promises than votes counted. The average
voter will undoubtedly exercise his franchise at the coming primary
election and this feature of the primary law will probably receive
a knock that v the courts cannot override.
