Party That Does Wot Ieare to Live. "And thus it is that the great name, the great authority of the Republican party in the national capacity, is being used this very moment to uphold the most atrocious system of Government which this country ever saw. A parly which can not live and pmspcr unless it be supported by corruption; aparty that can not prosper unless it be tupported by a revival of Vie old war feeling and by tearing ojten again the vnunils froih which the people of the United Slates have bled so long; tuck a party, when it has come to tluit, does not deserve to live."

"Gatii" has an interesting letter on the ninth page this morning. Archbishop Sands astride of an elephant may be justly considered a "bi thing." "Why doesn't Deacon Smitii put forward an eflort? Let the Deacon ride a donkey in the next Ilepublican procession. We are astounded to learn that Governor Hayes advises a judicious use of the blood shirt. Thev all come to it. The real reformers in Hamilton County would like a little reform in the office of the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas.

is making vigorous canvass in the Second District. He will be elected by a pood majority, though the tactics of 1S72 are being practiced by Kiciiaud Smith and the Republican managers. Babcock is vindicated again. A packet! jury yesterday acquitted him of complicity in the District safe burglary. A good many safe burglars will be on trial in Ohio in a few days.

Let us seo whether the people will acquit them. PEori.E know whether they are prosperous or not. No amount of newspaper sophistry nor "interviewing" can convince tire voters that times are not "hard." And the beauty of it is, they know wlio to hold responsible. It certainly must be Stanley Matthews' Buperior intellect that i3 overpowering the Second District. It can't be his noble record nor his devotion to the Great Principles which Cincinnati bo persistently reufses to "sell" to the condensed, con centrated and solidified South.

Judge Force is very much-embarrassed by the indecent position which he has been made to occupy by the politicians. The Judge is a man of great self-respect, and it galls him to keep his seat on the bench while men aro being button-holed and importuned to vote for him for Con gressman. The sad Southerner reads the horrid lies told for base political purposes by the Republican newspapers of Cincinnati and calmly contemplates the Twenty-Million Railroad winding its tortuous length through the vales of his solid sec tion. Then he winks. In a year or two he thinks he will smile.

The Republican managers claim that thcyjrot up stories last week to the effect that Ohio and Indiana were in danger of falling into Democratic hands for the ex press purpo.se of squeezing money out of the Eastern gentlemen who hold the purse. The money has been forwarded, but the knaves were really scared. TnE Commercial approves of Taft's bloody-shirt raid in Ohio because he is "officially informed." Grant's Cabinet favorites are always informed. We have seen the time when independent newspapers denounced Boctwell and Cres-well and other Cabinet officers for tramp ing about the country in the capacity of small politicians. "It is understood that a new Hayes and Wheeler Club will be organized to take the" place of the one defunct," is what the Racine (Wisconsin) Journal (Republican; says by way of encouragement to the demoralized faithful of the party thereabouts.

if we believe the Commercial. The New Amsterdam Savings Bank, a perfectly sound institution, which will pay on demand one hundred cents to the dollar, voluntarily closed business last week because the President said the times were hard, business in a state of stagnation, and deposits scarce, while securities were often doubtful. He said the stockholders wanted to wind up in time and wait for better times. Ixgersoll, the pet stumper of the Republican party, declares that "Of all the religions that have been produced by the egotism, the malice, the ignorance and ambition of man, Presbyterianism is the most hideous." And speaking of the burning of Servetus he -says: "Had the Presbytery of Chicago been there they would have quietly turned their backs, solemnly divided their coat-tails, and warmed themselves." Their Synods he calls thebangs and the Savior they worship a "bastard." He also has an ill opinion of the Democratic party. The Republican party, since the close of the war, has expended for navy purposes three hundred and eighty-one millions of dollars Now what show have the people got for that vast expenditure? That is a fair question, in which all tax-payers are interested.

Admiral Porter testifies before a Congressional Committee that the United States are practically without "a navy that what they have is as good as worthless. What became of that money? It has been used in carrying elections. It was stolen stolen by the corrupt Republican ring thieves, who have been fattening olT the public treasury for these many years. They have been particularly busy since the close of the war, which ended entirely too soon for their thieving purposes. The result is, there is a worthless navy good for nothing for practical purposes.

So Admiral Porter "says under oath. And the people are asked to continue in power the party that has been harboring these Treasury rats until they are grown fat and impudent. Nothing but a complete revolution and thorough fumigation will rid the old National vessel of those rata and the foul odors which they have imparted to it. THE DEAMA AS A TEACHEE. The earliest English comedy was written by a schoolmaster, and the drama has been for many centuries the ripest and broadest of all schoolmasters.

The pres entation during the opening week at the Grand Opera-house, by a dramatic com pany of unsurpassed excellence, of a brill iant series of dramatic delights, and the appearance of the brilliant author and actor, Mr. Rowe, during the past week, calls attention to the nature and mission of the drama. It is older than the Christian religion, and there is no reason to believe that the Christian religion will outlive it. It was born twenty-five hundred years ago amid wine and song it has been married to the Church and divorced it was the newspaper in the days of the humorous, satirical Aristophanes; it was the prayer and conference-meeting six hundred years ago it has been largely romance for three hundred years. It has been banished from the Church, and the wearers of the sock and buskin have been ostracized from society.

Even Shakespeare was not accounted respectable in London. It has been the most eloquent of preachers, while exiled from Christian people, and its checkered course is broadening and brightening with each successive year. Twenty-five years ago Parker Pillsbury predicted that the theater would be in advance of the Churches in preaching emancipation, and a Boston audience hissed the audacious orator. But two years later all the theaters were presenting Uncle Tom, while all the pulpits were denouncing the anti-slavery movement as well as denouncing the theaters. The stage was the diviner pulpit.

The very fact that in one age we find the Church the theater, and in another find that any one connected with the theater is not allowed baptism, and that in the meridian of the nineteenth' century the theater, more Christian than the Christian Church, appears as the apostle of freedom, is interesting evidence of the all-pervading power, the varied work, the irrepressible mission of the teaching, preaching drama. It, would seem that the drama needed no defense as ngainst the Church and if it does, one writer remarks, with a satire unconsciously severe, that in several of the European nations "as 6oon as dramatic composition rose, to any degree of purity- it became therebv disconnected with the Church." We have called it a teacher, and it is the greatest of instructors, being the most comprehensive. It summons all the arts to its aid architecture, sculpture, music, Return, poetry, romance, oratory, an "army of muses." Why should it not be the greatest of teachers and the source of highest culture? Why is it not elevat ing? One of the most charming romantic dramas ever written is the love-life of Ruth and Boaz, as told in the Holy Scriptures. The story of Job is dramatic, and "Solomon's iong, though a drama, would not be tolerated on a modern stage. But the high errand of the drama is its contributions to literature.

The dramatic poety is the poetry of the world. The geniuses among poets have been the dramatists from Eschylus till to-day. History and poetry and love have found their way from the soul of ge nius to mankinU through the avenue of the drama and the stage. and Sophocles and Euripides in the great Attic city; Plautus and Sen ec a by the banks of the Tiber; Ariosto in sunny Italy; Cervantes, the great Spaniard Corneillr and Racine in flippant France; Goethe, Schiller and Lkssinq in philosophic Germany, nd Shakespeare, the overtopping poet of the world these men are some of the reasons why the drama is a Empty liter at ore of the drama, and where would be our poetry? The softening influences of the modern stage there should be none to deny. Virtne never triumphs on that miniature world that the audience does not applaud vice is never punished that the hearts "in front" do not throb quicker with delight The stage is travel, history.

biography, society, aa well as poetry and romance. It is palace and hut, splendor and squalor it is life and love and death, the monotonous but ever-changing story of the human race. THAT PBOSPEEITY. The Commercial was in the business of manufacturing prosperity again yesterday. To-morrow the Gazette will doubtless shout, as it shouted just one year ago: The mills are roaring up the river" and the next day brought news of disastrous failures "up the river." This is prosperity on paper, election prosperity, really a plea of guilty to the charges brought against the Republican party for its conduct of public affairs, the cause of the hard times.

It is neither man's indolence, nor the negligence of the Almighty, that has produced hard times, but wicked legislation, the legislation of the Republican party. The Republican journals endeavor to avoid punishment by saying that there are no hard times that the land floweth with milk and honey; that prosperity laughs in the mills and mines and workshops that wealth fills the coffers of the merchant, swells the bank account of the manufac turer; that the tramps and the idle are millionaires living in luxurious ease. While investigating this prosperity on paper, let us turn over a page and look at the commercial reports in those journals. They will furnish the better evidence. They tell us that pig-iron is selling at 320 and even $18 per ton.

In 1872, when Jay Cooke and Clews were protestingthat the election of Greeley would ruin the business of the country, while the re-election of Grant would spread plenty and prosperity over the land, pig-iron sold at as high a figure as $G0 per ton. It is known also to the dealers in pig-iron that their customers are buying, not for business, but for speculation. There is no better managed, more energetic, more solvent manufacturing establishment in their line in the West than the Owens, Lane Dyer Manufacturing Company, of Hamilton. They suspended business a few weeks ago, not because of lack of capital, or because of insolvency, "but because they did not choose to waste the fortunes which years of toil had accumu lated upon these unhappy times. The wave of prosperity hadn't overwhelmed them.

They hadn't eeen the Commercial and Gazette just before election. These same papers tell us, in their mer cantile columns, that pork is selling at 7 cents shoulders and 8 cents sides, and that mess pork sells at $10 50. Business men know whether this is a symptom of prosperity. Flour is sold as low as $3 per barrel. Not long ago it brought from S10 to $15.

Corn is worth 48 cents. Wheat is worth $1 10 to $1 15 per bushel, instead of $2 or $2 50. Cotton brings from 85 cents to 12 cents. Four or five years ago it would fetch nearly three times that. We need not prolong the list to include, as it would, all of our home products, which have been touched by the same depression, while we should not forget to mention that Government bonds, even "rag-money" bonds, payable principal and interest in "cabbage-leaves," and quoted in the Commercial at $1 and that National Bank stock is still exceedingly' valuable.

It is not our purpose to decry our city, to injure its commercial interests by send ing abroad, for political purposes, a woful tale setting forth that all our merchants and manufacturers are doing a losing business. We prefer fx build our party up without putting our city down. Cincinnati is as prosperous as any city in the West probably more prosperous than any other. But our business men do not fail to see that the prosperity literature in the Republican press is an electioneering trick The readers of the Commercial and Gazette do not suppose that any sane man of affairs would, when interviewed, tell his com petitors and the world that he was running tremendously behindhand. This element in human nature robs these interviews that exhale wealth of some of their significance.

It is suspicious, too, that the interviewed are Republicans. Three vears after the 1st of January next an odious ten-years contract between the Gas Company and the city will expire. People suspect this contract was obtained by purchase of Councilmen seven -years ago. It was odious then on account of this suspicion, and unpopular because its terms to the city and her citizens were re-carded as unfairly high. Time has not been able to wipe out the unpopularity of this contract.

People since it was entered into have seen the gas business go up, whil nearly every other species of business went down. By the terms of the contract private consumers were to be charged a constant price of $2 25 per thou sand, and the city for public lamps was to pay the average of five specified cities. This average has been sliding downward for two or three years, till at present it is about $1 90 per thousand. If let alone.it will very shortly slide much lower. Now, when the thing is regulating itself in the interest of the city, the Gas Company receives an invitation from the City Council to make, a "concession." The deep anxiety to concede manifested by the Company ill lead people to suspect that the "invitation" from Council was invited by the Company.

Now that coal is down, iron is down and labor is down, and the price of gas to the city is sliding down, and the Gas Company is wflling to "concede" to private consumers if Council will only stop this sliding down ef the price for public lamps and give it seven years more grip at the throat of the city, it will reduce the cost of gas from $2 25 to $2, with five per cent, off for prompt payment. Now if the making of the ten years contract as it was made was outrageous, this, proposed extension of it is infamous. No contract is necessary te the city. Council has the right to fix the price of gas to consumers from year to year. This has been decided by the Supreme Court.

It Will harm nobody to allow this contract to expire. The city and citizens will be the 'gainers thereby. They will not only save cash, but will save themselves from being put in an attitude of apparent obligation to the Gas Company, which might tell against them when the time to renew the contract comes around, if it ever 'does come. The condition of affairs in the East is, if possible, yet more critical than yester day. Fighting, in which both sides claim the victory, in the neighborhood of Alex-inatz, is reported from two Bources, from Belgrade and Nissa, and the armistice, so far as local action can control it, is at an end.

An attempt is made to explain the new Russian mission to Vienna, but it is a very lame one. When the Russian troops, in which General Tchkbnayeff then held an important command, entered Central Asia, English jeal ousy was naturally aroused. Air. Gladstone was then in power, and Lord Granville, Minister for Foreign Affairs, protested against a Russian occu pation of the Khanates. Count Schocva- lofp, the confidential adviser of the Czar, was sent to London to assure the British Cabinet that the sole object of the expedition was to punish attacks upon Russian caravans, and that, the object once com pleted, His Imperial Majesty's troops would immediately withdraw.

The avowed object once attained, however, the Khanate of Khiva and large territory in Bokhara were annexed and declared intrinsic portions of the Empire. We do not say that the visit to Vienna of General Suwaroff, another confidential Impe rial agent, is based upon a similar plan with the same intention to deceive, but we do say that according to all appearance, if the mendacity of Schouvaloff is as black as the pot. that of Suwaroff in all human probability be as sooty as the kettle. His mission to Vienna is to hoodwink Count Andrassy as effectually as predecessor in the same honorable business of diplomatic lying blinded Lord Granville. His popularity in the Servian Capital is.of course, relied upon as material aid in his interviews with Franz Joseph, who, however, seems'at last to be thoroughly awakened to the fact that the creation of a great Slavonic Kingdom upon his borders will be of the utmost danger to the permanence of his Empire.

Greece, too, again seems to be moving. The old quarrel about the frontier line of Epirus and Thessaly is revived, and the cession of Crete again demanded. Verily, if Europe escapes a general war, it will be by the exercise of the hightest, most subtle and most energetic statecraft. The Cincinnati Enquibek, having failed in its effort to prove that Babnes Is a Prohibitionist, has started the report that he is a drunkard, that he was intoxicated at Zonesville during a recent visit, and, in short, that he is a wine-bibber and a beer-drinker who chips in with Republicans and sinners. Ciiumbus Journal.

Mr. Barnes is a Crusader and a bigot of the worst stripe. Finding himself losing caste among the liberal men he attempted to "square himself by drinking a little wine at Zanesville the other day. It is quite common with sneaks and hypocrites of the Barnes school to do this sort of thing, but it only serves to bring them into contempt. The editor of the American Tsraelitehas an opinion of Hon.

Milton Barnes "We think a man with such pervert and theocratic notions of Government is unfit for public office. If those who nominated him and hold him up for public support knew all about this, then they ought to be politically shunned as an undemocratic and corrupt element, as they must know that no Republic with a religious test can exist in this century, and that the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States is hostilo to all theological tests and all legislations against personal freedom." It is the narrowness, the bigotry, the prejudices of the party that nominates such men, which should be rebuked more than Barnes himself. Reckless young women and old as well who have a liking for men's attire, may lenrn a lesson from the experience of Jennie Bonnett, a daughter of a French aotor, who lost her life quite suddenly recently. She was in San Francisco, and she was very wild. She often donned male attire, kept her hair short in order to better disguise herself, and frequent places that the average female is not accustomed to visit.

On the 19th inst. she started out to "have some fun," with a favorite companion, also a female, but differently attired, and after drinking considerable wine at a restaurant near the city, Jennie's -companion, Blanche Bun kan, had a French beau who was very jealous. He regarded Jennie as an interloper, and he followed them from Francisco to a country hotel, and there, while the girls were about retiring for the night, shot Jennie, killing her Instantly. Persons who are fonder of breeches than petticoats should take warning. Mrs.

t)r. Mary Walker for instance. A queer case occupied the attention of Judge Van Vobct'8' Court in New York last week. Laura Klein instituted a suit to have her marriage with Richard Wolfsohn-declared null and void. She said in August, 1S75, being then seventeen years of age, she was induced by her father to go before the Mayor and marry Wolfkhin, and, supposing the ceremony was only a betrothal, did so.

She thought the legal marriage would follow a year later. Wohfsohn represented to her that he had considerable property. Finding out that he had none, but had a lid character, she would not live nor have any thing to do with him. Her father turned her out of the house, and she instituted the suit. The referee found the fact in Laura's favor, but the Judge thought the cie was so novel and mixed that he reserved' his decision.

A talented gentleman, named Paul O'Connor, who is now referred to in Republican newspapers as "a leading Irish citizen of Cincinnati," has addressed an open letter to his countrymen on the political issues of the day. With considerable fervency, Mr. O'Connor says "Don't vote for a man who, he enters the White Hon to-day, may be jerked out and rammed into the Penitentiary to-morrow." Mr. Hates' tax returns were certainly very faulty. His blooded cattle at $12 50 may return to plague his conscience, but we do not believe that he has been guilty of a Penitentiary offense.

There is no disposition to prosecute him, and if elected President he will not be disturbed. Mr. O'Connor should use milder language. It will not be necessary to ask that downtrodden and oppressed monopoly, the Consolidated Street Railroad Company, to take up their tracks on Fifth-street Square, in or der to allow Dr. Jakes Graham to erect the brass-mounted whipping-post which he proposes to generously donate" the city.

This is a big argument in favor of accepting the Doctor's gift The Doctor believes in the useful more than the ornamental, and no obstacle should be placed in the way of his proposed gift. It should not be forgotten that it was of James O. Blaine, the Fifth-street orator, that the Cincinnati Gazette said on the 7th of Jane last: "The exposure of Blaise will have the effect to put the Cincinnati Convention severely on its guard, ciaa na oeen doioiuhwu ueiore me dis closures were made, the party would have been re- duced to the necessity of forcing him off the ticket. ty ol ii or accepting the alternative of an overwhelming defeat." If Mr. Blaine is too much of a rascal to be voted for by Republicans, why is it that he is commanded to come to Ohio and preach? Some ignorant and illy-paid herder from the plains, who holds a position on the Chicago Tribune, says that when Mrs.

Hiram Powers left Cincinnati, thirty years ago, the town contained 50,000 inhabitants, and now it has nearly 200,000. The last Federal census showed a population of 21S.000 for Cincinnati, and more than 20,000 people have since been added by annexation. These facts should be kept prominently before the citizens of the Mortgaged City. There is a Democrat down in Evansville abundant in faith. The Courier of yesterday, under the headihg of a ferocious game-cock, says: "A responsible gentleman authorizes us to say that he will bet $10,000 in real etafe against the same amount of real estate, in Pifteon Township, the same to be valued by two disinterested parties', or will bet that amount of real estate against JlO.uon in money, that Blue-Jeans Williams will get more vote for Governor of the Slate of Indiana than Ben Hauklson.

"Put up or dry up. Address this office." Mr. Bivabd Tatlor has undertaken to write Ni-w York letters for the Cincinnati Commercial. Chicago Tribune. Mr.

Taylor is the gentleman of whom a distinguished man once said: "He can travel more and see less than any man living." Daniel Pratt, who is really less of a traveler, is far more entertaining. Mr. Taylor should confine himself to poesy. Again we hear that Commodore Vanper-bilt's condition is precarious. Physicians hold daily consultations at his house.

The public are not always advised as to the exact status of his disease. The Commodore has been severely illfor a long time, but is said to have lost none of his mental faculties. The Cincinnati Enquirer says that "bnsiness meu all ajrrec that business is better now than it was last August." It is universally agreed that business all over the country is improving. Dayton Journal. The weather is also cooler than it was last August.

Colorado, the new State, leads the October States with an election next Tuesday. A full set of State and County officers are to be elected, together with a Legislature. The staflf corresDondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Indianapolis. Indiana, under date of September 22 gives the Democrats encouragement in the following observations: "The Democrats are making an exceedingly energetic canvass in this State. They appear to have Plenty of money, they have an army of speakers on the stump, their meetings rival in size and display thowe of the Republicans, and they are animated by a real and vigor which contrast strikingly with trie languid and spiritless temper of their party in the East.

This is all the more remarkable when we renu mber what a wet blanket the nomination of Tildes was to the Democracy throughout the West, and particularly in Indiana, where they had for rears been rampttnt inflationists. At the outset of the canvass political wiseacres imagined that the adoption of the TiLr-EN programme involved the virtual abandonment of the West and the junction of the hard-money States of the East with those of the Pacific Slope upon the solid nucleus of the united South. It turns out. however, that the party is in much better fighting trim here, where it was supposed it would be weakest, than in the States that were to constitute Governor Tilpen's tower of strength. "And will the Democrats win? I believe they will not, but my opinion is that of a man engaged in the ii'ht, and not of an impartial observer.

I must admit, looking at the relative ktrength of parties as shown in it irmer contests, and at the conditions of the present strupcle the gseenback movement and the apparent solidity and energy of the Democratic masses the chancer seem to be in their favor." 1 A lady In Dayton, sending us an advertisement in the hope of securing a situation for herself and son, says: "Ask the Gnzrtte the name of the special correspondent in Thursday's issue. The Dayton people can not find the. prosperity he depicts in iheir midst. If he had visited the other factories he would have found them with reduced forces or entirely shut, and hundreds of men at home for want of employment. The car-shops have been closed for a year, but have now a brief prosperity." The Ohio Medical College.

This old, reliable medical institution has already attracted to our city a large number of students, who propose to matriculate at this session. The preliminary course has been under way some two or three weeks, to the extent of three lectures per day, prefaced by interesting clinics In the private rooms of the different Professors. The clinics and lectures of Professor T. A. Beamy have been especially interesting, as the Doctor has a peculiar knack of adapting his "talks" to the popular understanding and ear.

Some of his lectures on ob stetrics rather opened the eyes of "the boys," as evidenced by their frequent and long-con-, tinued applause at some of the new and original statements, and caused even the eyelids of the Enquirer reporter to be elevated to a steep horizonic point. Next Wednes day the regular winter course commences, on which occasion Professor Whittaker will tell the young gentlemen composing the matriculant class what they may expect to realize in their long winter course. The old College dates away back in the '30s, and furnishes memoirs of some of the most distinguished medical men the country has produced. There was Drake, McDowell. Rives, Gross, Wright, Shotwell, Lawson, and a host of others, whose names and writings emblazon the pages of medical history.

The German Military Band will give, with a chorus of fifty well-trained voices, a mass composed and especially arranged for this band by Mr.

How a Panel is Filled. The Veteram Who "Wait For a Seat Scraps and Incidents in Their History. There Is nothing like being a "professional." It means that one has a permanent business, is experi enced therein, and gets the cream of whatever is going in his line. There are professional beggars, professional thieves, professional flKhters, profes sional sporting men, profea-iqnal politicians, professional bailors, professional jurymen, and so on indefinitely. Of the latter class the Enqctreb has been at pains to secure some sketches, which appear below.

It la to be regretted that our special artist was prevented from preparing some cuts of the parties in hand. Better material never awaited his pencil. But by giving a little rein to his Im agination, however, the reader may, from the pen-pictures below given, form a pretty adequate notion of the occupants of the average jury box. Meanwhile he will commiserate the poor prisoner, who sees these loose ends of humanity raked to gether to sit, at two dollars a day, in judgment on the question of his guilt or innocence. FILLING THE WIRES.

Before speaking of the professional jurors Individually, a word explaining how they so often get into the panel will be in place. At the proper time an order is issued to the Sheriff to summon a jury and have them on hand at the 'opening of Court. Usually what is known as a special venire is issued, that is, twenty-four names drawn, and the parties notified when to appear. So many names are drawn in order to make it more certain that a panel can be satisfactorily filled, but it seldom happens that even twenty-four Is a sufficient number. Perhaps not more than six of this number will be retained, the remainder either proving disqualified to sit on account of opinions already formed, or being exempt from such duty.

All concerned will likely then agree to fill the empty seats from the company present The said company Is morally certain to contain a considerable number of broken-down tradesmen, superannuated shysters, officials without any office, and dead beats of every description all hoping and waiting to be placed on the jury. A more hungry set it would be hard to find. Standing at convenient points, with beseeching countenances, they beg for the poor morsels of official favor about to be dispensed. The "professional, however, is too shrewed to permit his chances of getting a seat to rest alone on a waiting attitude and beseeching look. He is careful to get in some effective wcirk beforehand.

There are two ways in which tills is done. The first is that pursued by the old stagers they who have haunted the Court-house till its stone floors are Warm by their tread they rest their case npon the favor of the Judges, at the homes of whom some of those are represented as in the habit of calling that they may work the matter up, when there is nothing else to claim the Judicial atte tlon. Others contrive to meet His Honor whil is on the way to the Court-room. "Good morning. Judge," says the venerable pro fessional, bowing with the greatest respect, and the Judge blandly returns the salutation.

How's your health, Judge? Did you pass a good night?" "Very good, sir," his Honor replies. "Am glad to hear it. Judge; very glad to hear it I wanted to ask if, this case coming on this morning, you wouldn't manage to get me on. It is almot-t two weeks. Judge, since I've been on, and if you would put me on in this case, I I should be much obliged for the favor, if you would get me on." The Judge-frives such answer as seemcth to him fit, and pursues his way till attain saluted in like manner.

It has sometimes happened that a Judge bus been so moved by these appeals that upon entering the Court-room he has handed to the Deputy a list of names for a full panel, to be at once The law is quite explicit in saying that when a jury is thus formed it shall be the dutv of the Deputy to select the men. But If he choose, the Judge need pay no heed to this provision, knowing that nothing will be said further than the slight charge that he is keeping up a set of dead-beats who will return the favor by doing some effective work when election-time comes around. The other method of arranging beforehand for a place on the jury is followed by those younger in the service, and involves some expense. Instead of besieging the Judges, favor is sought among the Deputy Sheriffs, and instead of trying to buy the said favor by a profound obeisance and respectful hints, investments are frequently made in cigars and drinks, of which the Deputies are free par-taktra. In the event of a Deputy having the impaneling of a jury, or any part of it, in his own hands, he is, of course, expected to remember his friends.

Thus, by treating the Deputies or kneeling to the Judge quite on income may be realized by a professional juryman of average shrewdness. SOME OF THE CROPS. In the line of waiting veterans one of the most prominent is G. Tatim. Mr.

leaning on his long, green umbrella, is one of the fixtures of the Courthouse. For years, in fact ever since the present generation can remember, he has served as a juror as often as opportunity offered. He, or as some say, his wife, is possessed of abundant means, but the old man's services in the jury box are always in command at two dollars a day. Franklin Halliday, a thorough going "profes-ional" should be mentioned early in the list He was once United States 'Commissioner, but being relieved on account of certain irregularities, and nothing better being at command, he became a juryman by profession. It is said of Mr.

H. that he effects quite a saving by always being little short of change, thus getting his beer for four cents a glass. rat O'Brien has graced the box for a considerable time. He was first a blacksmith of good repute; then he dwindled into a Councilman, and afterward dropped still another notch and became a juryman. David H.

Drake was once a prosperous stove merchant. On an unlucky day he was nominated for Police Commissioner, but failed of an election. The desire to serve the public, which was thus kindled, has never been quenched. In the process of time he became Councilman, and while serving in this capacity, though exempt from jury duty, was at pains to learn the business. Afterword, when out of business, the new-found profession was found very convenient and reasonably lucrative.

J. F. Forbes is a local preacher, we believe, of the Methodist Episcopal faith. He is at home, however, in the jury box. Once there was a camp-meoting case of some kind before Judge Cox, Judge Hagans being one of the counsel, and, appropriately.

Forbes one of the jury. It so happened that Mr. F. was at the same time drawing pay as a juryman in the Egner case, progressing in another room. Upon second thought, it was decided that he wan hardly a proper person to sit in the camp-meeting case, and a talesman was put in his place.

Forbes thus drew that day for doing nothing, and the talesman II 50 for filling his place, making a total of Sj 50 which the county paid on that day for the services of a single juryman. E. G. Drake used to be a grocery-man, and once did a good business at the corner 'of Fifth and Race streets. Latterly, however, his business has been that of a professional juryman.

J. Hollingjhead during the war was heavy contractor for baggage-wagons. With the close of the contest his business ceased, and he has since had nothing more profitable to do than the gentlemen above named. Of Rodefcr nothing further is known than that he is in special favor with one of the Judges, and Joseph Comes is said to enjoy the same ad van tage. J.

B. Ong, before becoming a juror, claims to hare been an army surgeon for a negro regiment. Evan A. Sanders prefaced his career as a Juror by service as Police Superintendent of Telegraph, and Montgomery Thornton knew better times when be was janitor for the Board of Public Improvements. Lysle Lodwick was once a water-rent collector.

O. P. Foot, M. Tracy, John Kistner, J. M.

Lawyer and D. J. Williams seem to have first got the public eye when they became professional jurymen. Deaury McCaffery, learning the sort of Information that was being sought, proposed that the reporter and himself proceed to panel a jury, that the greed of the professionals might be practically Illustrated. The first party summoned was J.

A. Hill, with whom the desire to ait In the box has long been chronic. Nothing is known of his earlier pursuits. The next was Silas Crary. a heavy featured man, who used to be a blacksmith.
