In these davs of progressive ideas and appreciation by the masses of what should and what slionld not 1k\ it is to erring hiimauily a source of consolation that tliero is reserved to the unlucky transgressor of his country's laws t at bairn for every wound ?a trial bv jurv. But owing to t.?e peculiar circumstance* which "\is? in this great Republic, hiries happen sometimes to he imposed ot decidely queer material. In the case of tho State of Louisiana vs. Mai tin and Thomas, in which the defendants weie charged with murder before the District Court of Carrolllon, a trial by jury was bad. It was proved in the evidence that Martin loaned Thomas a gun, whereupon rI hotiiiis shot and killed a person. The jury, which was composed of negroes, was fully charged by the learned and dignified judge. After a short retirement, the intelligent (?) jury returned, nnd announced as their verdict, through the foreman : That they found the man what fired the gun to go to the penitentiary for life ? and the man what loaned the gun to go there for one }*ear. 'l'hey were immediately remanded until they could find an inlelli {jent verdict, and thinking they ind at hist struck the nroper chord, once more emerged from their intellectual deliberations. " Have you agreed ?*' asked the judge. 44 Yes," ciied the foreman, " we find hose on 'em guilty !" 44 No P yelled several of the jurj'nien, 44 one guilty and the other not." 44 Go back," said the Court, K ai i <1 l\i-ti)<* in n ? />> /-! i/i* flint tt*n mm ui uij,; in n i ciuivw uiiu i* u can understand." A tliird time they came in and announced. through a new foreman : 44 We find Martin guilt y, and Thomas guilty without capi tal punishment. As may he imagined, the Conrt was not only struck dumb with amazement, but actually mystified at the amount of perspicuity displayed by the enlighted voters of the nineteenth century. Once more they were sent into durance vile, and finally ended their agony by finding Thomas guilty without capita! punishment, and Martin not guilty. The day following, in tlio same court, and Iteforo a like jury, came up a trial f r assault and battery, the verdict being " guilty of a razor," 44 Now, Okwtlkmkn," said a peripatetic lecturer to a somewhat noisy crowd who had ga'hcrcd to one of hi# amutees in an Eastern village, "how wot.Id you like a good blackguard story f All in favor will raise their hands."? N iue tenths of the dexter paws instantly went up. and there was a sudden hush of ail noisy demon st rat ions. The lectnrer went on with his original subject for a few miiiiiten. ivlien Rome inrant ioiiR in dividual broke out with, "Say, wher's that story ?" " Bless yon/' was tbe reply, " I did not intend to tell any such story. I only wanttd to know bow many blackfguards are present." You might iave beard a pin drop at any time during tbe lecture after that. Mr. Likcoi.n was astonished one day, as be was inspecting tbe prison in Washington, by a pit's- ( oner who familarly said to bim. , " H?>w are you, Mr. President) I . believe that yon and I bave been , in every jail in tbe Union."? , "Tbis and tbe jail in Springfield are tbe only ones I was ever in in < my life," said Mr. Lincoln.? l " Very likely," Jgag**<i<al tbe i rogue, " but I've b?M in all tbe i resf."
