Here a dozen men, most of them engaged in active business, are taken against their will, and compelled under threats of severe punishment, to spend three or four months—thirteen weeks have already elapsed since they began their sessions, and four weeks more will probably be required to finish the matter—in deciding a dispute for which they are not in the remotest degree responsible. For this service they may after a time receive, perhaps, two dollars for each day, that is if the defeated party should pay the costs, but they have no security for it, and even if paid, such a sum is not a fair compensation. They can make twice or thrice that sum out of their skill and labor in their usual occupations, and with the assistance of their capital and good will, five or ten times as much in a day. We do not know of any good reason why the State should compel them to give their services for less than their time is worth in the market. The highest officers of a State cannot take a chicken or a sack of potatoes, or any other article of property; even if it be worth only a dollar, from a citizen against CARRIAGE PAINTER!

We do not know of any good reason why the State should compel them to give their services for less than their time is worth in the market. The highest officers of a State cannot take a chicken or a sack of potatoes, or any other article of property, even if it be worth only a dollar, from a citizen against his will, except by careful judicial proceedings, but any potty Judge can order him to serve on a jury, and thus subject him to a loss of thousands. He may be building a house; he may have clerks who require advice and supervision; he may have crops in danger of spoiling by exposure to the to the rain; he may have a large stock of perishable merchandise that should be put upon the market without delay, but for all such considerations the law makes no allowance. "Let litigation thrive, no matter what 'becomes of the people who attend to 'their own business,'" that seems to be the principle on which our jury laws are based. The phrase "jury duty" should be changed to "jury bondage." We, of course, appreciate the value of cheap justice, but we prefer that in cheapening it to the litigants it should not be made rulous to other citizens. Persons summoned to serve as jurymen in civil cases should be permitted to choose whether they will serve or not, and whenever the pay becomes insufficient to command the needful attendance the figure should be raised and it should be paid not out of the Public Treasury, but out of the pockets of those people who require the assistance of the Courts to set their business right. Such a requirement would cause much hardship in many cases for poor litigants, but it would be less objectionable than the present system of making jury duty a nuisance to business men. A bill providing that the Supervisors may grant extra pay to juries in cases which continue more than two months has been introduced in the New York Legislature; and though an improvement on the present law, it is still unsatisfactory. Why should the indemnity for such unpleasant and costly boudage not commence until after a lapse of two months? If any compensation should be given beyond that now allowed, it should run for the whole length of the trial, and for all trials, no matter whether long or short.-San Francisco Alta.

Remembering that flirtation is playing at being in love, I shall assert without fear of contradiction, that every woman whose attractions will permit her to choose her husband, and who is not compelled to snap at the first chance, like a hungry dog at a bone, begins to play at this game from her earliest years. In what other manner, pray, is a young female to acquire any knowledge of the men who are seeking to engage her affections? She understands perfectly well that marriage is the end and aim of feminine existence, that eighty-two per cent. of her sisters become wives and mothers, and that of the eighteen per cent. who remain single almost all are unhappy at their lot. Hence, even before a girl begins to attract the attention of gentlemen, her dreams of the future have all turned in this direction. She has thought for years of the delights of having a beau, long before that beau comes. When he does arrive, if she is a sensible young person, she will endeavor to learn something of his disposition, temper and character. And how can she do this save by flirtation? She may have been favorably impressed at first, but as under the influence of the game, the man shows himself as he really is, as his minute grain appears under the varnish of mappar and society politeness, she may have just cause to think less kindly of him. But he, having a measureless self-esteem, spikes love more and more fervidly; until with him the game becomes downright earnest. He proposes and is rejected, and goes round everywhere swearing that that girl is the most commandeered filt that ever existed. But does he speak the truth? Is she not right to be careful to look before she leaps? Good people do not judge her too harshly because she is hard to please. GAZETTE NO.25 MIDDAGE.

The highest cannot take a chicken or any other arven if it be worth a citizen against VIRTUES OF THE EUCALYPTUS.—A gentleman named John Quinlan came to this city last October for the benefit of his health. He had been afflicted with rheumatism in its most painful form for nearly two years, and had undergone an amount of suffering that cannot be described. In the hope of obtaining relief, he applied to the best physician in the State, and travelled extensively in various countries, going so far west as the West India Islands, but all to no avail. The disease, one of the most distressing and painful in the whole category of human alliments, clung to him with unrelenting tenacity; and made life almost unbearable. He went from place to place by the advice of friends and doctors, and at last, as we have said, found the long sought for relief. One of our hotel keepers, with whom Mr. Quinlan was acquainted, noticed among his guests one who had his arms and legs bound up with leaves. Upon questioning the party he learned that he was afflicted with rheumatism, and that he had bound the diseased part with the leaves of the eucalyptus tree from which he had experienced great relief and apparently almost a permanent cure in a few days. This intelligence was communicated to Mr. Quinlan, who immediately tried the experiment, with the most gratifying results. He procured a quantity of rank green eucalyptus leaves and heating each one slightly, bound them upon the parts in which he felt the most pain. The effect was marvelous; the pain ceased in a short time, and in a little while the long-suffering training a Derby Favorite. The trainer examines the home most carefully before he is sent out to take his exercise gallop, is on the spot to see him do his cantor, attends him home again, examines him closely to note whether he is lame, and sees him put right in the stable. His corn is supplied from a bin that is kept under lock and key; his feed of hay, his drinks of water, are all carefully looked to. As the momentous day arrives and the horse is again and again backed by its owner and various friends to win those large sums of money, the trainer's vigilance increases; he appoints a steady man to sleep in the stable close to the horse in case the animal should be "ignited" and be disabled by agents of those who have laid heavy bots against his being returned the winner. A first-rate jockey has been engaged to ride the horse; and by-and-by he arrives at the training-ground, and on the Saturday evening before the Wednesday of the race, the favorite is tried, to find whether he still retains his great farm. He acquits himself as was expected, and owner, trainer and jockey are brilliant in consequence. Next day he is taken in a van to the railway station; at night, having arrived he is housed in safety at Epsom, attended by his trainer, jockey and two or three stable men to keep watch and ward over him till the bell rings for his saddling on the Derby day. The trainer's anxiety is not over yet: he A STRANGE FIGHT.—It has been left for Cincinnati to explode the saying about a live donkey and a dead lion, by demonstrating that the ass is by no means unworthy to wear the lion's skin. A lioness at the zoological gardens there recently escaped from her cage, and sprang upon a donkey. Far from being terrified, the donkey showed valorous fight, and speedily proved himself to be more than a match for the "royal" beast. The conclusion of the fight is thus recorded by the Commercial: "She jumped upon him again, and buried her teeth through the skin and the flesh deep between the hind legs. This time the donkey shook her off and kicked her over, and then putting his teeth together in the back of her neck, lifted her two or three feet from the ground, shook her as a dog shakes a rat, and then threw her down. There she lay exhausted for a few minutes. Then it was that the undaunted donkey, ready for the fight, was taken away." The idea of a lioness ignominiously shaken and worried by a jackass, and then knocked out of time in a fair field by the despised brute, is certainly what Mr. Richard Swiveller would have called an "unmitigated staggerer." If that donkey survives his wounds, we predict that he will prove a perfect bonanza to his owner. And yet it is open to question whether he would have fought the lioness at all if he had not been such an ass. MACAULAY'S TRIBUTE.—Children, look in those eyes, listen to that dear voice, notice the feeling of even a single touch that is bestowed upon you by that gentle hand. Make much of it while yet you have that most precious of all good gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfathomable love in those eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your jockey has been engaged to ride the horse; and by-and-by he arrives at the training-ground, and on the Saturday evening before the Wednesday of the race, the favorite is tried, to find whether he still retains his great farm. He acquits himself as was expected, and owner, trainer and jockey are jailful in consequence. Next day he is taken in a van to the railway station; at night, having arrived he is housed in safety at Epsom, attended by his trainer, jockey and two or three stable men to keep watch and ward over him till the bell rings for his saddling on the Derby day. The trainer's anxiety is not over yet; he fears the horse may have suffered from the journey; his every movement is anxiously regarded; he is fed with the same hay and oats he has been accustomed to at home, supplies having been brought for the purpose; before he is permitted to take a drink the water is examined and tested to see that it is pure. The animal is never left alone night or day, some one must be always on the watch; so precious is a Derby favorite; so great is the money interest with which he is allied, not to mention the honor attendant on winning the race. At length all is over. Our yearling has won the great man and all concerned are truly thankful; not one of those most interested could have stood the anxiety a day longer, so great was the tension. — Saturday Journal. MISCELLANEOUS In order to form an idea of the important part which the price of the grape takes in the fabrication of champagne, it must be known that an average amount of 450 kilograms (a kilogramme is equal to 21b.3 oz., avoirdupois) of grapes is required to make a barrel of wine or 220 bottles, and, by taking as a mean this year's price of 1f.80c. for every kilogramme, it will be found that a barrel of 220 bottles costs, for grapes alone, 810t., or about 3f.70c. (about 3s.) the bottle. There is a very curious fact mentioned by Catlin, who traveled in the West, and wrote two volumes on the Indians. He states that the calves of the buffalo, if they are caught, and the air from the lungs of a man is strongly breathed into their nostrils, will become so fascinated by that peculiar influence that they will run after the horse of the hunter, and follow him five or six miles. It is said—and Mr. Catlin affirms it—that in Texas, or in other parts of the country where there are wild horses taken by the lasso, if the hunter, in taking hold of their nostrils, forebly breathes into the nostrils of the horse he will follow him and become perfectly tame. A wholesale family poisoning case occurred recently in Illinois, the criminal proving to be Mrs. Malinaki, the wife and mother. There had been some domestic trouble, and she had conceived the idea of ending them thus summarily. How she got the suggestion has been pretty plainly shown by the discovery in her trunk of a well-couned history of the crimes of Mrs. Sherman, the Connecticut poisoner. There seems no reason to doubt that Mrs. Malinaki had pardoned MACAULAY'S TRIBUTE.—Children, look in those eyes, listen to that dear voice, notice the feeling of even a single touch that is bestowed upon you by that gentle hand. Make much of it while yet you have that most precious of all good gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfathomable love in those eyes; the kind anxiety of that tone and look, however slight your pain. In after life you may have friends, fond, dear, kind friends; but never will you have again the inexpressible love and gentleness lavished upon you which none but a mother bestows. Often do I sigh in my struggles with the hard, uncaring world for the sweet, deep security I felt when, of an evening, nestling in her bosom, I listened to some quiet tales, suitable to my age, read in her untiring voice. Never can I forget her sweet glances must upon me when I appeared asleep; never her kiss of peace at night. Years have passed away since we laid her beside my father in the old churchyard; yet still her voice whispers from the grave and her eye watches over me as I visit spots long since hallowed to the memory of my mother. FUGITIVE WIVES.—A Java paper publishes a letter from Bandjermassin, in Dutch Borneo, in which it is stated that a fugitive robel chief, who is now very old, has given orders that on his decease, his two youngest wives shall be killed in order to accompany him to the next world. The two women, says the writer, became aware of the fate awaiting them, and fled to our fort on the Tweeh, where they put themselves under the protection of the commandant. The chief was furious on hearing this, and formed the plan of getting back the fugitive woman, for which purpose he assembled around him the members of his family, his friends and followers. He intended to make an attack on the said fort on the 21st of November, but at the time the latter was forwarded nothing of the kind had happened. The Government steamer Harity, despatched with a reinforcement of 25 soldiers, beheld a howitzer with artillerymen, had arrived at the fort. A wholesale family poisoning case occurred recently in Illinois, the criminal proving to be Mrs. Malinski, the wife and mother. There had been some domestic trouble, and she had conceived the idea of ending them thus summarily. How she got the suggestion has been pretty plainly shown by the discovery in her trunk of a well-counsed history of the crimes of Mrs. Sherman, the Connecticut poisoner. There seems no reason to doubt that Mrs. Malinski had pared over this sensational story of horror until she was impelled by a mannequin desire to emulate the deeds of its heroine. Here, then, is a case in which sensational literature has led a woman to the foot of the gallows and sent half a dozen of her relations to untimely graves. SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—Toby Rosenthal's celebrated painting, "Elaine," which has been on exhibition at the gallery of Snow & May, drawing great crowds, was stolen from the gallery during last night. The loss was discovered early this morning. The thief broke in through the cellar of the building, out the canvass neatly from its frame, and decamped. Nothing else in the gallery was disturbed. The painting possessed peculiar interest as the master-piece of a young California artist. It was valued at twenty thousand dollars. No reward for its recovery will be offered, for this reason that the only motive that can be given for the daring theft was the anticipation of securing a large reward for its return. There is really a feeling of sadness throughout the city over this outrage. SAN FRANCISCO, April 5. The stolen plaque of "Elaine" was recovered by the detectives about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and the parties concerned in its theft five in number were all arrested within an hour. They are all young men but old old fenders, well known to the police. The object of the gang was simply to obtain the reward they expected would be offered. Their attention was called to the matter by hearing the passport of the police officers, who had just been to see the picture, that twenty-five thousand dollars had been refunded for it. The picture was recovered uninjured, and the parties concerned are now lodged in the city prison.
