A Laramie City (Wyoming) date Of
the 7th inst. gives the following account
OF the first assembling of jury com
posed in part Of women:


The Judiciary of Wyoming sustains
the right Of women to serve as Grand
Jurors. All ladies drawn as Grand Ju-
rors were present at eleven A. NJ to- day.
A motion to quash the panel was MT
sustained. At 1l:55 A. Nj. the first
panel of lady Grand Jurors in the world
was sworn. None asked to be excused.
A lady bailiff was appointed for the
Grand Jurors. Following is the address
by Chief Justice Howe:


LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
GRAND JURY: 1t is an innovation and
a great novelty to sec, as we do to-day,
ladies' summoned to serve as jurors. The
extension of political rights and the
franchise to women is a subject that is
agitating the whole country. I have
never taken an active part in these dis
cussions, but have long seen that woman
was victim to the vices, crimes, and
immoralities of man, with no power to
protect and defend herself from these
evils. have loug felt that such powers
of protection should be conferred upon
woman, and it has fallen to our lot here
to act as pioneers in this movement, and
to test the question. The eyes Of the
whole world are to day fixed upon this
jury of Albany county. There is not
the slightest improperly in any lady oc-
cupying this position, aud i wish to as
sure you that the fullest protection Of
the court shall be accorded to you. It
would be most shameful scandal that
in onrs temples of Justice and in our
courts of law, anything should be per-
mitted which the most sensitive lady may
not with propriety hear and witness J
and here let me add, that it will be =
sorry day for any man who shall SO far
forget the courtesy due and paid by ev-
cry American gentleman to every Amer
lean lady, as to even by word or net
endeavor to deter you from the exercise
of these rights with which the law has
invested you. I will conclude with tie
remark that this is question for you 10
decide for yourselves, no man has any
right 10 Interfere. 1t seems to me to be
eminently proper for women to sit upon
grand iuries, which will give them the
best possible opportunities to aid i, sup
pressing the dens Of infany which cure
the county. 1 shall be glad of your as-
sistance in the accomplishment Of this
object. / do not make this remark from
! any distrust of the gentlemen of Albany
county; on the contrary, am exceed
ingly well pleased and gratified with the
indications Of intelligence, lo.e of Law
and good order, and the gentlemanly de-
pertinent which is so manifested. will
now listen to any reasons which any juror
may make for being excused

A DOG SACRIFICES HIS LIFE FOR A
DRUNKEN MAsTER-The Milwaukee


ITi$consin says: A gentleman living at
Wauwatoso related to US to- day the fol-
lowing incident, for the truth of which


he vouches: One day last week a man


went to saloon, as was his daily Gus
tom, to drink, and meeting boon COM
panions remained with them till late at
night, when he started to go hume.
Overcome by the liquor he had drank,
the man laid down on the railroad track
and went to sleep. A faithful dog, who
had followed the man, stood and watched
over him, until tie whistle of locomo-
tive in the distance showed that freight
train was approaching. The dog, fully
aware of the imminent danger to his
master, tried TO arouse the drunken man, !,
and tore his clothes badly in the attempt,
unable to awake the sleeper, the dog
took the man by the shoulder and fairly
dragged him from the track just as the
train came on. The man was saved, but
the poor dog, who had SO faithfully pro-
tected the master he loved, was struck
by the COW w-catcher and smashed to
pieces. When the man recovered his
senses, it was found that his flesh was
bitten in several places by the strong ef-


forts of the dog to save his life. The
man the next day gathered up the pieces
of the faithful animal and buried them


He was so fully impressed by the re-
| markably narrow escape from death that
he has resolved not TO get drunk again

She hung the cage at the window


If he goes by she said,
HE will hear my robin singing;


And when he lifts his head
l shall be sitting here to sew,
And he will bow to me, know"
The robin sang love-sweet song,


The young man raised his head:
The maiden turned away and blushed;


''I am fool" she said,
And went on broidcring in silk
A pink-eyed rabbit, white as milk
The young man 1oitered slowly


By the house three times that day
She took her bird from tho window;


'He need not look this way"
She sat at her piano long,
And sighed. and played death-sad song.
But when the day was done, she said,


II wish that he would come
Remember, Mary, if he calls


Tonight I'm not at home.'
So when he rang, she went-the elf
She went and let him in Ii -rself.
They sang full long tagetbsr


Their songs love sweet, dea.h SAD
The robin woke from his slumber,


And sang out clear aud glad.
" Now co. she celdly said, "'tis late"
And followed him to- latch tho gate.
He took the rosebud from her hair,


While you shall not ~ she said
He closed her hand within his own,


And while her tongue forbade,
Her will was darkened in the eclipse
OF binding love upon her lips.

This distinguished Ofilcer who Is now In command
at Paris and is reported to be directing the move
ments OF the French army, bears the reputation OF
being one OF the ablest military men in Europe. He
Is fy-four years OF age, having been born In 1916
lie was educated at the military school OF ST. Cyr
where he displayed marked aptness and ability. On
graduating he was commissioned subeutenant
In the army and was soon after sent to Algeria.
Here Lieutenant Trochu, as is the case with nearly
all OF the prominent generals Of France, first saw
military service. In the numerous campaigns
against the Arabs he greatly distinguished himself
by his skill and gallantry, and at the outbreak of
the revolution of lsis had risen to the rank of
major. Immediately alter the re-estabshment of
the empire he was commissioned colonel and for a
time served on the stan OF the Emperor Napoleon.
During the war between France and England on the
one side and Russia on the other Colonel Trochu
was sent to the Crimea as the confidential agent OF
Napoleon. He took part In all the military councils
OF the allied commanders, and Is said to have had
more TO do with determining the action OF the French
army tnan either Marshal ST. Armand or General
Canr0bert For his services he was promoted to the
rank OF general OF brigade. The Italian campaign
OF 1852 report has it, was planned by him and the
late Marshal Mel It's complete success is well
known to all students OF history. Subsequently
Trochu was made major general II IS certain that

friend OF Napoleon Since then It is claimed that
there has been coldness existing between the two
Trochu laboring under the impression that he has
been oversiaughed by the Emperor, who has pro.
noted Inferior officers him. But II is not true
that he was always adherent OF the Orleans
dynasty. He may be now, and If he is his partner
ship dates since the Italian war. As regards the
present war the General is not only reported TO be a
bitter enemy to Prussia and IN favor Of It, but also
TO have prepared plan OF campaign, offensive and
defensive, and If these statements be true we may
depend that he will continue the struggle to the
bitter end. Tr0chu Is liberal and his sentiments
In favor OF Parliamentary government have long
been KNOWN He is not republican however.


Whether is his intention TO support the Bonapare
dynasty or that Of the Orleans Is something nobody


knows anything about as yet. Some time must ne
cessariy pass before his policy on SO important q
matter is made public.

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, ayear ago,
that the dirtest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling Alone
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond apy
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
Its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about hundred day. Nc
one ever used it as directed that did recommend
II. 1t has been recommended by more than five
thousand persons in less than six months Among
the names are those Of the most distinguished cit
liens of the United States but the best recommen
dation is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you are directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to us all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment 1t will return a yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. Eon the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies' and gentlemens' wear, and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 a year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way as by the old method.
Thus, you actually $40 a year by investing 10
OF 200 per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends than here stated but this
is taken as very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort of the thing which, all taken
together, makes it luxury which nc. family can
well afford to be without.


This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public. Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.

Fill the boiler with soft water to within about
three inches of the top of the inside boiler Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.


Bring the water to boil, and then place the
clothes in the hot water. The water will imme-
diately pour over the shell all around, and if it
bois over raise the lid.


Keep up a hot fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out and Immediately SUDS them
through in soft water. If any shade of the dirt
remains. few rubs will take it all out Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry, and the wash
ing is DONE Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
In the Boiler. 1t is of vital Importance to THOR
oUGHLY SUBS the clothing after boiling Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow. brisk fire is important in order to pro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work. If the
washing be large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
&c.


Articles much soiled may be left in for second
boiling. White fannels may be beautiful washed
without FULLING) by this process. They
should be put in when the water is hot. and rinsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white.
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laces
cambrics, &C., such would nearly fall to pieces
ifwashed in the ordinary way, may be was he'd per-
fectly, without injury, by this process The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "brokep y
water, is so well understood as to hardly need
mention here.


No machine ever invented will entirely remove
the streaks from dirty Wristbands and Collars
This Self-washing Boiler more nearly does it than
any other device. Should shade streak remain,
IL i'll be found to be so reduced and softened as to
disappear without the use Of a wash-board, by
merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this new process, which
alone would pay for Boiler many times during
sing gle year, in almost any family, to say nothing
of the important consideration cf saving labor.
