judicial Pardon.

Three white men who were
convicted at the last term OF
court and sentenced to a term in
hil have been pardoned by the
court. The road contractors re.
fused to take white convicts
claiming that they had no way
to care for them. Some claim
that the Judge has no right to
Issue q pardon or remission of
nne Or Imprisonment after the
sentence has been imposed. but
. that as it may. itl has been
praett,ed here for fifteen or 20
yeers, Sometimes seemingly
deservedly and at other times
very vrongfully.

It would be a very intelligent jury

could not remember where he
lunched every day. But there is
probably not juryman on the lists
who could not tell a story Of his own

WONDERFUL EFFECT OF COCA
Enables Ono Chewing tho Leaves .
Put Forth Long Continued Ex0f'
ton Without Fatigue.

Some remarkable properties pei
tain to coca-the dried leaves OF q
small tree growing in Peru an d
Bolivia-the chief being its power
to enable one eating it to put forth
long.continued exertion without ia.
tigue. Coca has nothing to do with
cocoa.
This property was known md
priced long before the Spanish con-
quest, the leaves being employed even
as a medium Of exchange, 50 highly
esteemed were they. After the con-
quest they became one Of the most
valuable articles Of export. At Po-
tosi alone 100000 bushels were con-
sumed yearly.
Under tho influence Of the leaves
Of this plant miners can work night
and day, with only brief intervals
Of rest and sleep. The slightest
amount Of food, together with q
handful Of the leaves, enables the
native to endure the seyerest and
most protracted toll of every kind.
They take them three times a day,
chewing them and lodging them in
the side Of the mouth like a quid Of
tobacco.
Some time ago an interesting test
was made in Canada Of the power Of
coca. A lacrosse club, consisting of
sixteen players, all Of sedentar. pro-
fessions, held forth against all ;om.
ers, white men or Indians. Tie club
men were fortified mainly by coca,
which they chewed during the game,
swallowing the saliva. One day,
during which the heat in the sun was
ITO degrees Fahrenheit, though their
antagonists, mechanics and trades.
men Of sturdy build, were exhausted
before the game was finished, the
men with the coca were as free from
fatigue as at the beginning.-Har'

Judge Allen, the great man of a

OLDEST UNIVERSITIES.

The Oldest universities on the con-
tinent of Europe are those Of b.
logna, Paris and Salamanca. In Eng
land Oxford and Cambridge are the
most ancient. Many Of the earlier
universities were the outgrowth Of
the Intellectual movement known as
"Scholacticism." Great scholastics
like Abelard and others would draw
about them crowds Of young men to
listen to their lectures, and the lee
lures were followed by the perma-
nent institution known as the uni
verdty. In such way Abe1ard be-
came the practical founder Of the
University Of Paris.
