AN OFINION. o commanzcation from the.Con- A this pointa poration Counse! was iead, embodying his opin- ion that the action of the Couxcil in increasing the salary of the City Asscesor was clearly in couflict with the provision of the Brate Constl “tition, which provides that'tho salary of no‘of- ficer shall b increased during the term for which he was elected. s Ald Dixon gaid that if this oninion were cor-. Tect the Constitationghad been vio. ted in numerous instances. i Ald. Richardson explained that this provision did'mot apply to_ officers whose sataries were not specifically fixed Ly ordinances passed previous to the ofticer’s olection. Ald. Cullerton favored & salary of $8.000 for the Comnbtroller, the op:nion of the Corporation Couueel to the contrary notwithstanding. Ald. Cooy inquired 1f Afr. Hayes wished “his salary raired. Ex-Ald. McGrath esid he had never ssked for an increase, but had eaid that $50,000 a year would not be sufficient tp keep him in the office longer thau was nccessary to put tho city's finauces in good shape. 7 Aid. Sidwell—"If we sppropriate $8,000, will it keep Mr. Hayes in the ofice " " Ex-Ald. McGrath—+I don's think it will; I have no idea it will. Ald. Coey said that in that case it would be an insult to Mr. Hayes to add a paltry §4,000 to his ary. AE Hildreth took the same view. Was thero a job put up o benefit Mr. Hayes' Succossor ? The motion to make,the salary 38,000 was lost, and the item was adopted ar $4,000. CONFIIOLLERBIGHERER, 5 oy Ald.

LAW DEPATMENT. Ald. Gullerton moved to roduce the salary. of the Corporauon Counsel from $6.000 to £5,000. Ald.

Baileymoved to striko out the itom of 87,500 for additional salary of the City ‘Ireasurer, conditioned that he turn over alf ‘money received a8 interest on city deposits. Ald. Woodman said he understood that the adoption of this item would muke o dilference with the Treasurer’s action in roference to in- terest oo deposits. b Ex-Ald. MeGrath expleined that the Finaoce Committeo were informed by the Mayor aad Comptroller that Mr. O'Hara was williLg to ac- cept this arrangement agd rolinqaish nterest on deposits. Ald. Woodman—** O'Hara will give it up, any- how ; ho's a very charitable man.” {Laughier.] Ex-Ald. MeGrath said bis only, object ,was to explain how it was that the Commuttee came to recommend a salary of $10,000. - Ald. Hildreth said that the thing would not work. O'Iara would not pay over the interest, Fhe Chair stated that the Committes had succes=fully endeavored to come to an uvder- standing with the Treasurer. They could never got an interview with him. . Ald. Dixon thougls it sirange that the Com- mittes should report and recommend such a propsition without baviug previously consulted the City Treasurer, cod obtained his cousent. Ald. Culierton recalled the time when NI O'Hara, o candidate for election, had public pledged himself 1o do as his predecessor had done, —meaning that bo would pay over the in- terest on deposits. On tho strength of this solemn pleaze the epeaker had woiked for O'Hara’s elgciion, The matter should now be tested by the adoption of the item. I O'Iara ed to comply, then the salary woild not be naid bim, ad rofused to come befors tlio Finance Committee ; now letthe Common Conu- cil bring lim squarely to the test, aud sce whatber he would keep lus word with the people of Chicago, s Ald. Sidwell was glad the question had come up. _He believed 1t illegal for the Treasnrer to receive intercst op deposits, and he favored the adoption of the jtem. Ald. Dixon held thst the Couneil had no right to incresse the Treasurer's salary in the mauner proposed. Ho did not believe O’Hara ever in- tended to pay over the devosit interest. Tbe Treasurer denied point blank that he had ever agred 80 to do with the Mayor and Comptroller. After an ordinance was paseed compelling tho Treasurer to keep the money in the city vaults, he would favor voting. him tho salary proposed, ‘bu not until then. Ald. Schaflner (Ald. Quirk in the chair) said the Financa Commitice Lad been pesitively ns- sured that,if thesalary of 10,000 way voted, the Treasurer would pay over the deposit intcrest. Mayor Colvin had emphatically stated this to bo the agreement. The spealer had requested O'- Hara to appear bofory the Finance Commitsoo, bat he wouid not, or did not, comply with the re- quest. He iuvariably abscoted himeelf. Ald. Woodiean tbought thore was no need of hurry in this matter. The Council bad botter wait antil next year, andsee what course O'Ilara detormiued to parsue. He did not believe in hiripg Lim. Leavo the matter until next year. Ald. Campbell was in {avor of stiking out the item. The Comptroller had made a demand upon the Treasurer to pay over tho interest on deposits, and ho had refused to do it. The only way to settle the matter was for the Council to designato the banks in which the city funds ehould be deposited. The City Treasurer's office furnished the greater portion of funds with which to carry on political campaigms, sim- ply becauso the oftice was worth sbout 100,000 year. It wasabsurd to suppose that O'Hara would turn over £100,00u for s salaryof $10,000. Prom- ises made by candidates for fat offices were not very reliable, end O'Hara would doubtless discover that he could not turn over the money without violating the law of the State. Nothing could be rlaiser than that O’Hara never in- tended to keep bis pledgze. and that he did not to fix tho salary at 23,000 was car- -$2,500 eraees $4,000.00 intend to accept the §10.000. Ald. Heatn did vot believe that Mr. O'Hara purposely avoided the Finance Committee, but they wero positively assured that he bad agrend to the arrangement. The speaker called on O0'Hara Friday, and he said he had made no bar- gain with anybody, and what he did he should do. of his own volition. The itews of $7,500 and £5,000 for clerk hire and office expenses wera siruck out by a large majority. The item of $2,000 for galary to City Physician was adopted. POLICE JTSTICEA. Ald. Pickerinz moved to make the salary of the Police Justices §2,500 each, instend of 24,000, a8 recommended. : Ald. Heath smid the Justices pledged them- selves to dovate their entiro time to the duties of the office. The motion was lost, and_the salaries of the Justices for the South and West Divisions wera fixed at $4.000 each. Ald. Cannon moved to increase the salary of the North Division from £2,0i0 to £3,000. Ald. Heath eaid thet Justice Kauffman was eatisfied with 82,000, provided he could attend to otber Justice's duties. Ald. Stone moved to msko the salary $4,000. Lost.: Tho salary was fixed at £2,009, Ald. Murphv moved to fix the salary of the rolice Comt Clork, South Dirision, at $2,500, instead of 32,009, Lost. The salary was fixed at 82,000, Ono elerk for Police Court, West Division. One clerk for Police Court, Nortk: Divisio Adopted.

The wife of a-German living in Buf- falo Township has recently passed through a most fearful ordeal,—one most harrg<imng—to{ contemplate. About & yeas ago she alarmed hor family and friends by sisting that ehe felt what ehe supposed to be a snake crawling up her throat and back again fo ber stomach, soon after which she was tsken ill. On freqnent occasions she would splis blood, insisting it was caused by the supposed suake lucerating her throat. Thig continned antil about ten dayd ago, wken her husband took her to 8t.

A ory clever Jowish writerof London,—3r.

Ho then obtained very civic distinction, and _in 1855-'56 became Lord Mayor of London. His first work after being raised to this distinction was to secure two things which relieved the Ro- man Catholics of special griovances, He put down the before boisterous and general observ- ance of Guy Fawkes Day. which was always the oceasion of 1neults to the Catholics, and he caused 50 much of the 1gscription on the monu- ment wvear Billingsgate, which attributed the great _fire of London to tho Catholics, to be erased. Pope wrote of that column, which— Towering to the skies, Liko a tall bully hits its head and lies. But that it no longer slanders the Catholics is due to the determination of a Jew.

In 1851, Bir Davié Salomons was elected to Parliament by the borough of Green- wich. Ho also refused the deciaration, and was requested to withdraw.

We in New York who ad- mire Clara Morris (2nd we are thousauds) could uot bui ¢ge tie languor and wamog strength of our favorile ; and wo saw with regret that, after every brilliant triumph, she scemed to need all hor strength to recover from the mental and physical strain. And so, after the exhaustive nights of “Camille,” wo were glad to know that she was going abroad to recover the bnoyancy that she seemed to require so much, znd thiat she was evideutly usiog up 8o fast. I visited one of our very exclusive, VERY UP-TOWN GiIUHCHES, on Sunday ; and trath compels mo to admit (as I was astranger in that particular sanctuary) that T was astoniched—absolutely astonished—to see among the worshipful attendants of the sanctuary the very same faces—the well-known business- men and their wives and danghters—that I bad seen tho day before in Jerome Park, intently betting and enthusiastically applanding the races! Thie old-fashionod teaching, then, scems to bave beon utterly exploded, that it is wicked for church-members o attend, or in any way countenance, such decidedly-worldly umusc- ments. Though Taimage may thuunder from his'coutly pulpit against modern infidelity. and Beecher may scek to lure iu roothing tones the wanderer back to the fold, yet how the world at the present time has_sét aside the teachings of our, younger days, aod how we ars driiting, we can nove of us tell, not ouly politically, but jo- cialy and roligiously as well. Though I eay it in gil candor—] seated myself in an obscure corner of that most fushionable church, in a de- vout, solemn tone of mind, yet T COULD FIND ABSQLUTELY NOTHING in sermon, in pastor, in_worshiping conerega- tion, or in the praiso, and singing, and prayer, that was calculated to ‘do me any goud, or in gpy way touch my bearf, leaving me “better-“and holier. You 'may say that my city-training 2nd busy. . life are making'me cynical and worldly, losing faith i the early piety I was taught {rom my m kiloe; and that L was only acting 8 critic, tn- stead'of trying to spply any home-truths to my awn conscience. But'let me tell you what wire my experiences, and eee if you will not agree with me thata fazhionablo churcly aud people are not promoters of such feelings. Tiretly (now, I am not going to jaflict tuo Ber- mon npon you), thera were no poor people in the church.” At loast, if they were poor at ome, ther had come in most respectable disguisés, for each and every Iady wag dreased in the hoight of fashion, and every man wore the latest in neck- ties and summer-suits. THE CLERGTMAN wns a young man, from an Eastera, city,—his family surrounded by all the accessories of weulth, “occupying & Yery prominent place in fashionable society. This youuz man was not “clothed ypon with huwmility™ by any means. His hair was parted exactly in the middle, and bis long side-whiskers weredecidedly copy after *Dundreary,” .He imitated also the laugnid drawl and "lisp of that famous exquisite, and his . voice . rolled gnd swayed so affect- édly ‘among tbo sturing. prayers of the beautiful Litaoy that it scemed more a8 if he was reciting gome eloguent speech of Cicero in tne styleof Jobn Beffew, tha elocu- tiont, and with all bis wondrous acting. His wermon was flowery, pathetic, eloquent, but nos couvincing, and with none of the brue ring of soul-pioty and religious fervor sbout it. He waved ap embroidered. crestod handierchiot, and swung bis white hands, but he did not feel (I will not say mean, what he said so Suent!y. ASD THE BINGING [ Artistic, and paid for in good round eums, quite enough 't allow the organist, leader, aud basso, to drive a fine horso, sport a sbowy dinmoud, and live in fashionable stylo. The solemn * T'o Deam ” was lost and buried under a whirl of solos, and duets,—the soprano and tenor 1n the end always assersing the supromacy by thrills and quavers, and snnkes, xad bigh, screaming upper C's innumerablo.. It was a ** Te Deum that proved decidedly, tedious ; for it repeated notes and runs over and uver, until everyone rmndin&' Was quite worn out, and tho very few that bud arieen at its beginning vat down betore =) ity close. A “Te Deum™ ihab was sucha stow of operatic, paid ortistio effcet, that it nevér could bhave pleascd tle listening ear of Jehovah, who hearkens only for the eoul. And all the other chants and all the seclected bymus wete of the eame character,~—skowy, artistic, ecreaming, and mar- vels of racing and inilinga between the four per- tons pud for such exhibitions. The people ouly appreciated the muwic becauso it cost e great deal of money and eflort, aud because they intend to keep un the reputation of paving the largest salary to any quartecto in this vast, Gorbi am. Even that exquisite hymn, *XNearer, wy God, to Thee," was smothered and buricd under operntic effccts, with an_elaborate nccompani- ment upon the orgau; and the tenor was so ear- splitting iu high notes that one was glad when it nas oser. The devotion of these wealthy fashionshlcs sadly needs looking after; for, although very Episcopal, they seemed to study only e TUEIR OWYN, EASE AND CONTCET. Nearly all of them Kept therr seats during tho chaats, aud even tho “ Glorias"; and tha old form of kneeling pave piace to » parsialiy-bowed head dming the prayers, and a total ind:Terauca of all ths usual observances that make that 'form of worehip such s solemo devotion. When the pastor gracefuily sunk upon kis knees at tha banediction, 1 over- bewrd a small, irreligious toy, next to me, say to Lis very pretiy, very dressy, and very stylish youny lady eister, ** Carry hid out to, tlow mu- sic!

Bronun e e THE ROMAN ARENA. .Gigantic Collections of Animals. Translated from ths French for Apvieton’s Journal, The capitals and the large cities of Europe count among the number of their most interest- ing establishments their zoological gardenms, meusgeries, where they unite, not without great trouble and expense, a few dozen quadrupeds, = small collection of birds. of reptiles, and of fishes. The museums of Paris, London,Berlin, ete., ara very well satisfied if chey contain three or four lions, a8 many tigers, a dozen or #o of leopards, jaguars, aud pantliors, one or two hip- popotawi, as many elepbants, a rhinoceres, a girafte, and go on. But therichest collection of animals in Europe would appear pitifully shabby if we could, with a flourish of the magician's wand, conjure again into existeace one of those gigantic collections of animals which 80 often served to entertain tho Roman peoplo during_the last years of the Repuolic, aud under the Emperors, These ox- babitions wero cortainly anything but inscructive, and one would be far from counseling any mod- ern Government to attempt an imitation of them. Such an attempt, however, would be only an at- tompt, for the forests and deserts have been to such an exteat depopilated of their savage in- habitants that it would mow be impossible to collect a sutlicient number of large animats to reproduce, even on a small ecalo, -one of those prodigious epectacios which were tho delight of ¢he ancient Romaa. Tho first extibitions of tbis charastor given at Roma ware the huats (cenationes—)more proper- 1y, massacres in a sart of tilt-yard. The taw-makers of Rome were of opinion that it was desirable to develop among the people & martial spirtt, aud that this end could ba artain- ‘ed it no other wayr0 well as accustoming them to tho sight of blood ; and this was tho reason why they, in imitation of the Etruscans, begun to celebrate the obsequies of illustrious porsons by foretng their prisonars or their slaves to kull ane another around tho funeral pile. This was the origin cf the gladiatorial coniosts, which wero inangurated at the death of Juuius Brutus, First Consui of the Repubiic, inthe year 264 B.C, Later, the magistrates, and the caudidates for the magistracy of the Republic, ambitious to achieve _popularity, vied with one anotber iu their endenvors to vary these bloody spectacles, aud to increase thoir magniticence, ~ T this end they buili those gigantic circuses and amphi- theatres, whose ruios still attest thewr cstonta- tious prodigality. And then they exacteda tribute, such as 1t was, from the four quarters ot the earth, in order tu iittingly amuse the masters of the world. This led to the custom of turning wild animals into the arena, to make them con- tead agajuyt ouo another or_sgainst men. The "first renatio of wlich thd bistorians make mention tovk place in the yesr 231 B. C. Metellus had taken from the Carthagiuians, in Sicily, 120 elephants. The Benate, to show bow little these avimals wore to Le feaied, had them first belabored with cudgels and then kuled in the circus. This spectaclo gave tho populace a tastofor this kiud of diversion. Foitunate- [y (?), the couquests of the Reoublic soon ena- abled the Geueralsand Proconsuls to lay Europe, Asia, and Africa under contribution ; and, Lowar tho end of the sixth ceutury after the foun- dation of Rome, troops of animals arrived in Italy from overy direction—loos, tigors, leop~ ards, panthers, Iyoxes, clephants, girafles, ga- zelles, rhinoceroges, bippopotam, crocoailes, bears, bikons, etc., etc. ‘Lhen, from time to time, on exuaordinary occusious, the peoplo were treated to a grand countiict between somo hun- dreds of apimals of various specics, that were tucnod into the arena togcther. At other times, the animals were pitted againat meu calied beast-tghters—i. e., men wio tol~ lowed beast-ticliing for a lving. They wore distinet from the gladiators, and lad & lower place in the social scale. " Bat, in time, "these men abandoned a calling which was so danger- ouy, and 1t becamo necessary Lo supply their places with crimina® or prizobers of war, Un- der the Emperors, substitites wera algo takon from smong tho Coristisns. This was a verit- able windfull for tho popuwlace, who, we are told, delighted in nothing so much an sceing the defeuscless adiorents” of the new rehigion, men and women, torn linb from limb by wild beasts. Hardly less were tue people editied to sco the nobles, the Senators, and even the Em. perot humself, +* the divine” Commodus, descend into the arena and engago in martal combat with the licicest animals. Coinmodus, if we can be- lieve tho historisns of thoss times, was unsur- passed in such oxercises. Having the Hgura and valor of au athl he gave to Limself the wur- name of Hercuies, aud was desitous to” justify the appellation by uwitating ths feats of the demi-god—thut is, by exterminating a certain uumber of bousts of prey, waich sursly wers ot 50 daugerous as ho was, : Probus, anuthier of the Emgerors, conceived the idea of giving the peoplo tac privilege of taking an activo part i the sports of the amphitheatre. o caused the arona to be transformea into s forest, into which ke locsed, the firat iime, 1.000 deer, aa many wila hoge, and as meny ostriches. Then tho fates were opeaod. and a8 many amatsurs entered as choge, who killed aud carried o what aud as much'as thoy pleased, Another day, 1nstead of this comparatively inoffensive game, Probus pro- sented tue people with 100 Lions, 100 Jeopards, 100 panthers, and 300 bears. Bug this time the festivities Lad o tragic tormination. A goouly oumber of the bunters were attacked and torn to pieces, whilo yeveral of tho anima's escaped trom tho stadium, and caused a fearful pznic among the spectators, which cost the Jives'of several. Finally all the ammals wero killed; *but the feio was,” says an historian, **grand rather than agrecable.” ‘Tbe consnmption of animals at Rome, in pro- -vidivg for the ammsemens of the good people, frow the end of tho Kepublic to the fall of the Empire, surpassed the concepsion of the liveliest imazination. Let us try, neverieless, to getan spproximative idea, 0 the 567th year of Rome—136 yesrs B. C.— Marcus Fulvius for ihe first time introduced lious acd panthers iuto tho arena—the number 1 not stated. Eigbteen vears Inter, the Ediles supplied for a pojular fote sixty-three leopards and pauthers,” forty bears, and several elo- phants. Svlla exlibited 100 lons. In the year 6Y3 of Rome, Domitius /Enobarbus gave 2o exhibition, which consisted of ths killing of 100 bears by negroes. Three years later Scaurus preseuted the people with 430- leopards. The drat hippopotemus that appeared in the arena, with 100 crocodules, waa a present by this same Scaurns. At Pompey's expense (00 liuns, £10 pauthers, and about n ycore of elaphants, were sluin. Cesar, the vanquusber of Pompey, in Ahus turn, celebrated his triumph by * games,” in which 400 lions, 40 elophants, and I giraffe— at animal until then unknown by the Romans— wera lulled. Octavius Augustus illustrated b glorious reign by a successioa of butchories, in which about 3,500 animals were killed, amoog them bewg G0 of the feline apecics, 1 rhinoceros, 1 hippopotamus, 36 croco- diles. and 1 serpent 40 cubits—eay 60 feet—long, probably a pyshon. Germanicus, during his Con- salate, in the year. 765 of Rome, contributed 200 Lions; Caligula, on his rorurn from Gaul, 303 bears and a4 many pauthers ; Nero, 300 lions snd 400 bears. Titus inaugurated the amphitheatre, which bears his name by a series of fetos, during which some 500 beasts_of prev. and sbout 400 granivorous animals were lilled. ‘Trajan one oceasion gave a series of fetes, Issted 06 less than- 125 davs, and in which ‘11,000 animals. of ° different spe- cies were sacrificed. Later, ~ona_ of the XEdiles, daring his term of office, sacrificed, in round nuwmbers, 1.000 bears, 100 lions, leo) ards, and panthers, 300 ostriches, 100 wild bulls, 150 wild poars, and a great number of deer aud other inoffeusive animals. After Probus these exhibitfons became less and less frequent, in & measuse, doubtless, on acconat of the increaced dificulty experienced io obtaining the animals. Nevertheless, 1n the beginning of the sixth century of our ers, Jus- tinlan, Emperor of the East, desirous to give a fete in imitation of the sncient venationes, suc- ceoded in collecting at Conatantinopla 120 lions, some 30 or 40 tigers and panthers, and a consid~ erable number of animals less ferocious. A BLACK CORONER’S JURY, Scenes in the Land of Mocking Birds and Honey. New Smyma, Fia. (ay 4), Corrempondenceaf the New York : un. Some time 250 one Black, a mulatto clergy- man, loat overboard & bag of tools while ing up Bpruce Creek, & tributary of the Halifax Riv- er. Among the blacks wlack was an important peraonage. He preached with great unction, collected a hat fall of small stsmps once s waek, did an occasional job of carpentar- ing, and was the oniy negro on the eastern coast of Florida . south of St. Augustine owning a boiled shirt. The loss ol his tools was s zorious misfortune. He could not give thom up witbout endeavoring to re- cover them. o areward of 81 was offered for their return. The news spread among the set- tlements, and negroes flocked to_the shore of Spruce Creek. They atripped, and began to dive for the lost articles. The water was so deep that they found it dificult to bring up bottom, Convinced that the chances were against them, all but ono gave up the search. This ons was a good gwimmer, known aa Epliraim. “The plucky fellow spent saveral hours in tne water, " but finally caught & cramp, and was drowned before his comrades could rescue him. They recovored the body, and wera about to bury it near the beach, when the circumstances cam to the ears of Jnatice Sutton, an appointes of the carpet-bag Governor. Now, in Florida the dasies of Coroners devolve upon Justices of the Peace, at the rate of $10 per corpse, pavable in State or county scrip. Justice Sutton went for his S10 with the vim of a Twelfth Ward politician. He ordeted an 1n- quest, Material for a jury was under his nose, and he utilized it. After the corpss was drawn up under the palmettoes Ephram's black com- rades wore impaneled. It was an odd jury. One was without a shirt, another withont a'coat, a third destitute of & hat, and a fourth minuy balf of his pantaloons. There was not a pair of suspenders 1a the whole party. Three wore cow- hide brogans, without stookings; the others were barofootod. All wore great!y larmod at the action of the Justice. They loudly pro- cleimed their ionocence, and begged to be let off. ** Composs yourselves, gentlemen,” eaid 3Mr, Satton. * You are not prisoners, but Amorican citizens called upon to fulfill a duty which you oye to society.” ‘“Somebody done tole you s mighty lie, Judge,” interposed one of the sstonished ne- groes. *We neboer owe no ’siety nuffin. Don't owe nobody nuffin. Alus’ be some oder cullered mens ’sides we.” & Oh, good Lord!" exclaimed the Justice. “*You're not on trial. You are s jury—a Cor- oner's jury. You are to bs sworn in. and do the best you can undar the circumstances. No- body cares whether you owe anybody anything or uot.” The frightened negroes were more than reas- sured by thie explauation. They begaato as- sume ap air of importance, “ As I liave no Bibloat hand,” the Fustica con~ tinued, * Yon will be compelled to afirm. Hold up your right hands.” ““Am dat ah "zactly right, Judgo?" asked one of tha proposed jurymen, whose trousers were beld in place by an old fish line. “Certninly 1t's right,” replied Sutton, *Why Am it cordin’ to de law?" was thenext ques- tion. *’Cause 'ceptin’ it am'nt ’cording’ to de law, us cuilered gemwens donedon't bab nuffin to do wid dis yah murder.” *Why, good Lord, man,” exclaimed the Jus- tice, *“who said it wasa murder? Everybody can see that it's nothing but an accident.” *“Woil, den,” concluded the gquestioner, *why you done mads a1l dis yah fussin for " “Iy isn't me,” the Justice auswercd. “It's the law. This body has been found. The law directs mo to impanel a jury. That jury must bear the evidence, retire, find out who the dead man is and how he came to his death, and re- turn a verdict in accordance with tho facts. Can't yousee *" The Justics was warming up. The negroes looked as though they wantad to knosr all about it before they wers aworn in. *How much you gyina to git for dis yah job, Judge?” asked another of the incipiént jury- men. “The law sllows me $10,” said Mr. Sutton. ** But that has nothing to da with vour dutics in the gass, Your course is explicitiy laid down by the faw.” ‘The negroes conferred together for a few mo- ments, Justice Sntton was becoming inpatient, when one of them wseppad over tho corpse and asked bim * whar de callered man came in.” *‘ What do you mean ?” asked the asicunded civil officer. * De law done gwins for to drop $10 for yon,” said tho eapient negro. ‘ What de law done gwino for to drop for we 2" *The law regards your work ns s duty you owe to yourselves and society, and don't allow you auything,” answered the Justice. *f You don't want pay for woriing for yourselves, do you?" “Den wo findy de wardict and does all de work, an' yon takos all the money—amdat de lawz ™ “The law allows mo a fee, and doesn't pro- vide a fee for you,” indignantlv responded Mr. Sutton. * Hald up your right hands.” “*Dis yore's jis ke da ole pizatation times,” grumbled one of the darkies. * Ols massa he ot ali de money, an' de cullered man he do all de wark." *Hold up your right hands,” repoated the Jus- tice, 'ha nogroes eyed him as if meditating a mu- a tiny. **Hold up your right hands,” thundered His Houor, The colored men hesitated. Then one black haud was raised slowly 1n the air. Ths otbers followed it liko the dumb blackbirds of & shooi- ing-gallery. The Justice repeated the oath, bat his hearers remained dumb. **Say * we do,' ” he shouted. *We do,” echood the trembling nogroes. *‘Lower your hands,” commaided the Justice, and the blackbirds dropped from tiseir perchos. The jury then squatted upon tho furze about tiie dead man. They were cowed, but not con- vinced that everything was rigit. ‘* Gentlomon,” spoke the Justice, after all had squatted, “ vou are noss gworn to pecform the fuuctions of the law. The law is explicit ia its definition of the duties of a Coroner's jury. The law prescriles thot testimony shall be taken. In this cage that is a mere matter of furm, for you yourselves were witnessos of the desth of this man. The Jaw, however. rejuires that you shall carefully weigh the evidence, ascertain how the man died. who be was, and o on. Tius you will do b virtus of your oaths a3 jurors.” Tho witnesses were then produced. Their evidance was very clear. Ephraim had gone into the water with the int2ntion of making an hoa- est dollar by diving for Parson Black’s tools. While his companions watched him from the bank of tho stroam,. he sans, and was not seen again until his body wes grappled and drawn ashore. The jury esgerly listened to all that was said, but asked Do questions. They wero evidently afiaid of the Justice, aad looked upoa the whols thing asa sort of Voudou ceremony. s Honor summeod p by xaying : ** Gentlemen, you will now reure, and atter carefuliy weigi the testimony return with a veydict,” The jury withdrew to te gciub. Their voices were soon heard above the music of the mock- ing-biras who had gathered in the trees abouy them, ‘The negroes wero baving s hot aispate, and the birds soemed to bo cnjoying the scens. In'a faw mivutes ono of the colorad mau retarm- ed. o told the Justice that the jury had eent bim for the testimony. " cxclmmed Sutton. “I haven't got stimony. You heard the evidence, aad have go: all thesa :& of it. There is no more testimony.” The black man shook his head, and rojoined his fellows i the scrub. Within three munutes, uowever, hoe reappeared. “Ef de jury don't got do testimony, how de debbil de jury done gwine to weign it?" he ausked. “Yeigh it in your minds.” screamod the al- most frantic Justice. ** You heard all the ewi- dence, and it's yoar place to docide upon it, not mige.
