They gen erally ne4k the truth in all they any a boot the natter, bat we have not yet seen a saggestion that will practically rid the courts of the evil The SUte Chronicle thinks that the remedy lies with the eoanty com a'tssloners. It tbey would parge the jury box and see that the n ames ol tiooe bat men of "good moral character and sufficient intelligenw" s the law rrqwirea are pot in the box the Chronicle thinks the evils arlaMg TroiD improper verdicts woakl be retaedled. This is un doubtedly the first step towards se en ring good men for jurors bat this alone Is not safficient. Witboat one other change in the practice of obtaining joron In our courts, tlie work ol the eoanty com mission -era will be thwarted no matter bow rigidly they scrutinized the qnalifl eaXiooa of those whose names they place lathe box. Let as illustrate: Tbe law require the eoanty com BaiAsioaers to draw from the jury box thirty-ix scrolls and tae men whose aamea are on said scrolls a boa Id be sam mooed to serre as Jurors at the tall and spring terms ol the Superior Courts. Now let as aappoee that the eoanty commis sioners bare done their duty and we find at the assembling of the coart thirty-six as good men as can be (band in the eoanty. Eighteen of these are drawn for the grand jary. If all are present and none excused, which is seidem the case, there are eighteen lelt for the petit jury. Twelve ot these are impan eled to try a eanse. When they go oat to make np their verdict the remaiader of the regular panel is called into the box. and the law re quires the Sheriff, in obedience to the order of the coart, to summon from day to day of Lbe bystanders, other jarors, and the ouly qualifica tion to which he is restricted is that they shall be freeholders. Tbe eoanty commissioners may pat the names of none but men of "good moral character and safficient intelligence1 n to the box, bat tbey cannot restrict the bystanders to men who possess these qaalinca tioos, and the most ignorant and corrupt can become freeholders. We do sot think we are far from the truth when we assert tbat uot more than one-third of tbe cases tried in oar Superior Courts are tried by the regular jurors. Then why should the eoanty commission ers be blamed for not purging the jary boxT Every criminal has friends among the bystanders, and under the present plan ol making np a jury they stand a very g od chance of "taking the box." This evil can be remedied by hav ing a larger number of recular Jurors drawn. Forty eight lor the first week of t he Superior 'ourt is not too many. This w uhl g.ve two juries for the trial of cauxes, and as in the trial of cnu-.::ial cases only two peremptory challenges are allowed the bystander would ::ot In- Deeded so often . At the ate of the I". S 1 '.strict ( o-..r: were two sets of p-et:: :;irot r:r. ere -all select men and was only ::i one or two instances : he Marshal was compelled to sum a; on "to- the bystanders. Tbe evil complained ct cat: to some extent be remedied by. r.rst, the county commissioners doing their duty as the law requires, and sec that the names of none but men of good moral character and suft. cient intelligence are pu: in the box, and second, let enough ot these be drawn to prevent the necessity c f calling on the bystander. mi; s i TinN u IUk ( :., Anicn :i held at 1 v-(, Mr. i ; i r of t he I1K.

" To thia objection it any be answered that the semi annual duty now levied by the Government on the circulation of National Banks is not needed for reve nue. To impose it is class legislation, and the only direct tax remaining as the result of the necessities of war. The Banks propose to continue its payment in order to create a requisite fund for the security of all their depositors, and to constitute the Government the trus tee for its proper investment and dis bursement. It ceases to be public funds in a general sense, and would t-e.nr the same relation to the deposits of National Backs, that I".

THE I'KESIDEXTIAL SI.'l'C'ESMON'. Tbe death of Vice President UENDKrt'KS again brings the ques tion ol the Presidential succession prominently belore tbe people. The eilu session of tbe Senate held after the -Uh of March last lailed .o ele t a President pro tempore, and as there has been no sea iou of the present House ol Representative no SiHaker ha been chosen. If then the President were to die or to become disabled before the meet ing of the Senate or House of Rep resentatives, there is no constitu tional provision for the succession in such a contingency. The chancis are tbat Senator Logan will le electeil President of the Senate when that body meets, and in case of the death or disability of Presi dent Cleveland, he would for the time being be the President of the I niteil States. The N. Y. o'un, speaking of Logan's chances for tbe oflice, say s: The law providing who shall act as President in case of the death or inability of both the President aud Vice President directs also that a new election shall be held to till the vacancies. The Secretary of State is to notify the Governor of every State that electors of a President or Vice President arc to be ap pointed or cln is' li : ' If there shall l e the pa.v ..f two iii 'Dth- vet to eiifue between the date of such n, 'ti licit ii 'il and the tirst Wed i, ex. lav in heo'iiili r then next ci.suic. such notification shall s-cify that the ebeb-rs shall Is.' appointed or rhiwn w itliin thirty fi ur d.iys preceding such iirst Wi-.Iih-mU- in l'.cembir.

We think this a lietter plan th in the one proposed by Senator Sil HU MAN, which is to put the Cabinet oflicers in succession. Is there intellectual freedom and tolerance of difference of opm ion in North Carolina? Mr. Wai.tk.i: II. Paisk says not, and says that throughout the I'uioutheOld North State is regarded as narrow m its opinions and stilling in its mental atmosphere. And yet he says if he is saturated with any thing it is love ot North Carohua. The d ru" A I. don't kuow how to take this unless it means that to refuse to accept Mr. Pai;k's ideas and principles" ! is to his mind evidence of intoler i ... ance and lack ol intellectual free dom. We are sure he is as free to enjoy his "ideivs and princi pies" in North Carolina as in any State of this Ciiioti, but we are not sure that the people of the State will agree with him.

( )n that day the "shorts" appenrid to get ner . ix iui-r the pioxpeot ot carrying themselves over the holidays and began to "cover." Owing to the elections hi England, the Liverpool exchange was closed on "Wednes day, and the closing of the Ameri can exchanges on Thursday made two days win! which the boldest short would not lace. A consequent active covering demand sprung up, lasting until Wednesday afternoon, and the volume of pales on Wed nesday, showed a large increase over the previous few days. The price of futures was pushed np an average of ti points above the closing pin e last l'riday. On Friday, ow ing to the failure of Liverpool to respond, and the lack ot outside trade, the price fell off, but the closing prices this week are still a few points aliove those of last l'ri day. The market at present may be said to be in a sort of waiting stage, and a lack ol price making f iniliieiices either way is keenly felt.1 The tendency to hold back supplies, noted previously in tins column is still apparent, and the outcome of j this movement is being awaited w ith some interest by operators. . The southern markets this week enjoyed a fair business, but the in tereiition of the holiday tended to ' reduce the volr.me of sales consider ably.

"Snap Fifty" is a very attractive home game; all the family can par ticipate in it, and it may be made very merry, without danger of ex citing unpleasant feelings. The players sit about any smooth table, the cloth of which is removed, and each one receives the same number say live, of checker men. Kernels of corn or rlat counters of some srt will do, and all the better if they cannot roll, though checker men are the best for expert players. The men belonging to each player must be ilixtincth marked with his initial or otherwise. The game proceeds in this way: An inverte I tea sauoer or flower pot saucer is placed in the middle. Then one after another, going to the left around, the play ers each snap one man or counter from the edge of the table, or from a certain line, towards the saucer. When all the counters an- played, the one whose man is closest coim's live for game: if two or more of the same playei's men are nearer than oMu-rs, he counts ten or tilteen li e lor each. If a counter lies up par' ly oil t he ti bh- a nd upon the s.mcer it '-omits 'en: it' one has ' I nub d upon 1 he top of I he saucer, j liiteeii. livery player is at liberty to make a strong shot and kn.ckj away a ni an of on e of h is opponent s.

KIdk Alfonso's Death. Hayi'Nnk, Nov. 20. Letters re crived from Madrid attribute the death of King Alfonso to various causes. One attributes his death to pulmonary phthisis, another to tuberculosis of the intestines, and .s4ill another to general anamia and long failing health. It is stated that in the midst of his dissipation ai.d extreme depression the King painted his cheeks to give him an artificial appearance of health aud that he const iutly persisted iu dis regarding the requests of his phy sicians that he should remaiu at ins hunting seat at El Pardo, de claring tbat there were political reasons for his presence at the capital. Madrid, Nov. 2b. Cardinal jienavides heard Alfonso's confes sion at 74 a. ru. on Wednesday, and I administered to him the last sacra- oaas In the presence of Queen I CTrPrfHiua, ex-Queen Isabella, and I other members of the royal family j and several members of the honse i bold. The King begged to see his daughters, who were in Madrid at tbe time. They were telegraphed for, but arrived too late to see their leather alive. The King died in the C.n. ., r.. it. - :..:.. li Mini ui vueeu ui ist ma. .in iiru- eiit were profoundly affected. The Cardinal and the ex Queen wept, fcnd the Infanta Isabel fainted. Queen Christina subsequently cov ered the lody with flowers, and for a long time retused to leave the chain ber. A Lesson. There is a lesson in this hypothet ical case which we tind iu an ex change, that it would be well for Christian people everywhere to pouder. "A young man comes irom the country or country town to the city, knowing nobody. The churches are open two or three times a week, the Sunday schools once a week only, but on the nrst occasion cherishing a recollection of the church at home, he goes, aud the chances are that, being a stranger, he i.s either passed unnoticed or is treated with ordinary politeness. He hears announcements of fairs and festivals for the beneht of vari ous objects; he goes to some of these, but finds himsell little nearer forming acquaintances than before, for such occasions are commonly so ciable only within a certain circle, to which it is often no easy matter to gain admission. But the same young man finds the saloon, the billiard hall, the gambling house, and worse places always open. There is no cold politeness shown him by the childreu of this world; noliody asks if he is respectable, rr who is his father, or if his family 'are nice people. Tbe waiter in the beer garden will placo a chair for him obsequiously, and the proprie i tor will be delighted at bis presence I no matter what his antecedents i The cheerfulness with which he is I welcomed pileases him, even if he '. knows tlie politeness to be but I feigned, and among these associates he makes acquaintances who are (often his ruin. The road to evil is I very broad, and its travelers are ' numbered by thousands, especially among the young men oi a city. Hut it might be well for churches ! and pastors to ask themselves the ! question whether some of the blame j does not lie at their own doors. I With churches open twice a week I and the saloon doors always ajar, the wonder is, not that so many young men go wrong, but that any are able to resist tne temptations that lie in wait at every corner. I r Hacon and Daniel Pratt. Mr. Paeon told me a pleasant j story characteristic of his famous father. Ur Bacon was entertaining a company of friends at his home one day when suddenly a hand was thrust familiarly under his face and a somewhat ostentatious individual insisted on shaking hands as a pre liminary to a metaphysical discus sion. Dr. Bacon showed his aston ishment, but tbe caller was not to be abashed. "You don't know me ,8ir," quoth the stranger,adding with a grandilo quence tbat .was almost charming in "its impudence, while a dozen guests stood aghast, "I, sir, am no less a mau than Daniel Pratt Daniel Pratt, sir, the great Ameri can traveler !" 'Oh 1" said Dr. Bacon. "Yes, sir, "recited Mr. Pratt,more fervently still; "yes, sir, the great American traveler." "All right," was the placid com ment, '-travel !' Daniel did. N. Y. Times. "Doctor, I wish you would pre scribe for my husband." "What ails him, madam!" "That's what I don't know. Whenever I ask him for a new bonnet, or anything of that kind, he is very hard of hear ing; but when I try to go through his pockets in the morning, the lift ing of his trousers wakes him from a sound sleep." "II your husband is deaf, ma'am, I think I can cure him." Hut, Doctor, wouldn't it be as easy to cure him of hearing so well in the morning?" A Tell-tale Match. Sally had been told that she must not scratch matches on the wall, and I could see no reason why the same i restraint should not be put upon ' mankind. j A new minister had just arrived in town, and was to spend she first night at Sally's father's. ; After being shown to his room. :the visitor, by accident, put out i Ins light. He found a match, and 1 "scr-a-a-a-lch" it went on the i wall. illy occupied an adjoining room and hei sharp ears heard the tell tale noise. Soft I. creeping to the head of the stairs, her shrill, childish voice half whispered and half shrieked out so that evi-rvbodv in the house could hear, "M a a u ! ( ma air! This man up here i- a scr-a a a tclun' matches i ui our wall, he is!" A 1' is-niii Siiii-r Spui led. M ARS1IA1. Il.I.K. (la.. Nov. 'go The members of one of the negro, churches in this county gave afo - sum supper Monday flight in which ended ingloriously. When the tables were set the hungry lambs were eager to attack the baked meats, one of their number, named llryant. put his dog on the middle of one of the tables, and defied the brethern to interfere with the ani mal's repast. The good sister in charge of the table took up an irou shovel and knocked Bryant sense less, while her brother shot at him, missing him, but seriously wound ed a looker-on. A general row en sued, m which all the tables were upset and the edibles trampled upon, so that the supper was indefi nitely postponed. The Edict r Nantes The two hundredth ann.c of the revocation of the Iv Nantes, by Louis XI V., win, doue at the instance ot his : -ai v iiit of . a m as ! ; .loll.x mistress, afterward w ile. Madame de Mainteuon, has reccinK ma-u commemorated in vai lous pacts oi tbe earth by the descendants, ot the fifty thousand families ;h,it wt re banished from Prance at ihat liuiu-. The Huguenots were tl e ll ,.m oi the French people. They a.-ic ol the middle class, iudnsti i.,ux, aud generally skillful artisans aud mer chants. They settled in England, Switzerland, Prussia, and the Neth erlands, and some lew lound their way to America. They were a very great acquisition to the communi ties tbat welcomed them, and their exclusion from France was one of tbe most serious losses suffered by that nation in nil its modern history. This wrong both to the nation aud to tbe Huguenots was because the then mistress of the king was a fan atical devotee of the Church of Roin, and she wished to exclude all heretics from the kingdom ruled by her royal protector. No doubt the woman was conscientious, but all religions bigots have the same excuse. Torquemada aud his asso ciates, in lighting the tires ot the Inquisition, undoubtedly believed they were doing God a service. Big otry of this kind, and from what has been called a conscientious im pulse, is a just reproach against some i ruujsLrtiiio as wen as riomau Catholics. John Calvin burned Ser vetus at the stake for preaching Unitarianism.and the Presbyterians of Scotland, as well as the Pm itaus of England and of New Iiugland. were guilty of persecuting those who differed from them in their religious beliefs. The revocation of the Edict of Nantes was only two hundred years ago, Out what marvelous changes hae taken place in the world since then.

L- in- visit the market in Boston, uioi . he mar ket at New Orleans; wImi h con trast! Aud quite as great a con trast will be presented bv ihe mar ket at San Francisco. One sees at the market the various kinds of same and fish produced by the country, the wild fruits, berries and other natural productions. On the other hand, the cultivated fruits, vegetables, etc., give one an idea of tbe climate. Of coarse, one must make sure that the articles are pro duced in the icinity, and not trans ported from a distance. It would be a very careless observer who should infer ttiat tomatoes grew in the vicinity of New York in Febru ary, because he saw tbem iu the market, just landed from the Ber muda steamer. Not only are the articles that are offered for sale in the market interesting to a stranger, but the manner in which they are presented, is otten curious. In Canada, berries are offered in curi ous vessels made of tbe bark of the canoe birch. In Charleston, S. C, the vegetables for son) are made np into a neat and artistic bonqnet. Each market presents some neat and interesting peculiarity, and a visit to one, even in a small place, seldom fails to be instructive. "The Doctor" in American Agri culturist. Not Peepared. Probably the agony of rising to make an oration, only to find that one has notning to say, is not to be exceeded by any but the most extreme tortures. Worst of all must it be to realize that one has brought it upon him self, as it happened in the case ot a sufferer quoted by Every Other Saturday: A few years ago, the people of a certain township were about to celebrate the openiug of a new br'dge. and invited a young lawyer to deliver the oration. He had made no written preparation, sup posing that a lawyer ought to be capable of speaking without note or notice, any number of hours, on any subject, in a stj le of thrilling elo quence. Therefore, he trusted to the occa sion. lie stood out upon a p a form erected near the bridge, and com menced, amid the protomni and attentive silence ot his audience: 'Fellow-citizens: Five and torn years ago this bridge, built i tour enterprise, was part and p iceloi the howling wilderness!" He paused a im-uieii '-Yes. j fellow citizens, only li ve a u li I ol't t years ago, this bridge, where we' now stand, was part and pared of the bowling wilderness!" ' Again he paused. I Cries of "Good! Good!") j "I feel it hardlv necesar to re- peat that this bridge, feilow citi- j zens. only five aud forty years ago was part and parcel of the howling, wilderue.-s. and 1 will conclude by j saviiir that uixh irixh it ira' part tind parcel of it now.'" 11 I I I Al l. liAi'h'. Iiev. Theo philus Packard, who preached fifty years at Shelbnrne. Mass, was a man of great ability, and was very prominent among the elergv of bis day. When his .-on, Theophilus, Jr., ; w ho was afterwards pastor of tbe i same .'hurch tor twenty-rive years, i was old enough to drive be gave ; him permission one dav to goto ! mill with the grist. As he started oil'. Ins lather said to him. ..v,m- Ti,oo..hihis mn lud Iwitr !watch Mr. Peck and .-ee that he. don't take out any ot the corn." Theophilus knew nothing of the cu-tom of "taking toll" for grind ing. and promised to lie on the look out. W hen he- leiiirned. the doctor asked li i in il he saw the miller rake any corn. "Yes," said tbe boy, but 1 kept OHiot, and when his back was turned I put it all hack." The good doctor told this story on all occasions, but perhaps no one enjoyed it moje than tbe jolly miller.
