Judge Ki-r.f>t Gary presiding.1;
Solicitor St >;iand Stenographer' i
Wood, with the other court at-, i
taches, were in their respective?i
d^piaces. The commission of P II ! <.
K Stoll, Esq, as solicitor for the!
third judicial circuit was read M
ana ordered to be entered upon
minuses of the court,and the!
i .gular order of business was
^ c
proceeded with. I
* Judge Gary's charge to the
^ grand jury was decidedly out of
the ordinary. Instead of the
perfunctory charge clothed in 1
dry legal phraseology, he ad- *
inonished them in plain, homely j
language as to the importance ]
of their duties,interspersing his j
remarks with humor and satire, Ji
in every instance driving- home] j
a point of law and morals. "It t
is a positive relief," began His t
Honor, "to look over the crimi- f
ual docket of Williamsburg
.county and not tind it burdened
with homicidal cases, as I have )
found it in so many other coun- c
ties. This speaks well for the I
citizenship of your county and c
you are deserving of congratuJation
upon such a condition of
affairs." The grand jury, he
marked then, is the right arm of t
ihe court and when it fails in *
its duty the whole fabric falls. J
He then explained how they (
were to sift the evidence and c
tind a true bill in each case t
J where the testimony warranted, r
tile testimony 01 one wuness
being sufficient to send it into
the court to be tried.
He then took up the plea of
self-defense and illustrated how
often it made a mockery of law
in murder cases, thus abusing
the God-given privilege of a mar.
if to defend his life even at the
1^, sacrifice of another's. <
When the criminal docket was
P without a single entry it could '
be handled with white gloves
and he honed they would >o fill- ,
fill their duties as to bring j
about that much desired condi- <
tion of society.
Judge Gary's charge was
plain, practical and impressive
and those who heard it were*
struck bv its force and simplici-l
ty* i

An Excuse.
Little Dick, the village "bad boy."
was wading through a ehal lowswamp
catching frogs with a small
landing net. He had just caught ;t
fine specimen and transferred it to
his bucket, when a young lack who
was out for a walk happened along.
"Little bov," she said, "don't you
know it's very cruel to catch tho>e
poor little froggies?"
Dick straightened up and looked
at her. She wore a gorgeous "creation"
on her head, and something
in its trimmings attracted his attention.
"I want 'em to wear on my hat,"
he said.?Youth's Cojnpanion.

TRUTH AND FICTION. ~ j
How Certain Novelists Have Mixed
the Two In Their Portraits.
The method <>f certain novelists
feenis to be to take a single facet
of the character of some one they
know, group around it other traits
collected elsewhere and then sub*
stanilftc and personify the whole,
says the Manchester (iuardian. ,
They give it legs to stand on and ;
a mouth to talk with. They put a ,
hat on its head and a cane in its \
hand, and then?who shall say that, j
Harold Skimpole is Leigh Hunt?;
Others again transfer the charac-;
ter bodily. That was James Pavn's;
practice. In one of those delight- .
ful volumes in which he admits us '
nto h.is library workshop he tells !
us that he found most of his char-1
acters among his acquaintances, j
The person represented, he assures ,
us, never recognizes his own por- 1
trait. But then his friends do, so ;
sundry expedients to put people off ,
the scent have to be adopted. If;
the original is tall he is pictured as j
Fhort; if dark, a' fair. Indeed Payn ;
recommends the keeping of a list j
of dramatis pcrsouae, with the real j
names placed opposite the fictitious j I
ones, to keep the novelist in mind i
as he works.
Sometimes, when the original is i
a publie person, a writer of fiction <
will transfer liirn to his page with- j
rmf mnoh dismiise and much to the I
gratification of the reader. Who is !
not charmed to meet, in Meredith,!
Lesie Stephen in the "Egotist,"'
Mrs. Norton in "Dinna," La Salle
in the "Tragic Comedians" and
Robert Louis Stevenson in "The
Amazing Marriage?" Alphonse
Daudet's practice in such cases was
less genial. "It was a constant and
growing tendency," says Saintsbury,
speaking in a recent book of Daudet,
"to drag in royal persons and
especially royal persons in scandalous
aspects. Moray himself and
other not too immaculate members
of the imperial entourage appeared
in 'Le Nabab.' The characters of
*Les Rois en ExiT were as obviously
divers ill starred and not always
well behaved refugees, from the i
king and queen of Naples downward.
Numa Rouinestan was Gambetta
almost without concealment.
The sordid hero and heroine of
T/Immortel' were fullv identified
with an academic personage of a
former generation and his wife."
