in Intelligent Jury.
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."

Probably never before la the whole history of
Medicine, ha* any thine won *o widely end ?tf
deeply upon tho oonHdcm o of mankind, a* thla
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints*
Through a long *c0fes of years, and among moat
of the races of men It ha* risen higher and higher
in their eatinuiUon* na it has Imcoiho iMitftrknown.
Its uniform character and power to cure t?e v*
noa* affection* of the long* and throat, have
made It known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder form* of disease
and to young children, It I* at the mm time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for tooiptent
Mnanmption, end the dangerous affections
of the throat and lunffs. A* a provision against
sudden attack* of Craes, it should ho kept on
.V,1 svsrz

disease seemed settled, hare been completely
eared, and the patient restored to sound health
bjr the Cherry J'ertsrsl. So complete is IS
mastery Oyer the disorders of the Lungs su<l
Tim Ait, that the most obstinate of them yield to It,
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry IVrtorol they subside and disappear.
ahi&grs ?m??I 1'ubHc Mprakert Und great
protection from it.
Aathnta is always rstlered and often wholly
cured by It.
hrsacMM* Is generally eared by taking the
Chorrp I'erforal In small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that wer
need not publish the certlflcntes of them here, or
do more than assure the public that Its qualities
are fblly maintained.
i Ayer's Ague Cure,
, For Fever and Ague, Interndttent Ferer,
Chill Ferer, Remittent Ferer, Dumb
Ague, Feriodloal or Bilious Fever, ho.,
and indeed all the affections whioh arise
fioifl malarious, marsh, or miasma tie
poisons.
As Its name Implies, It does Ctrt, anddocs not
fkll. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonont
substance whatever, it In nowise injures any pa"
tkmt. The number and Importance of Its cures
la the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel In the history
of Ague medicine. Oar pride Is gratified by the
acknowledgments we reeeive of the radical cures
effected In obstinate cases, and where other remedies
had wholly failed.
Unacclimatcd persons, either resident in. or
ir.tvallinir throiurh miasmatic localities. Will be
