Trial By .Jury*
For a long lime there has been se
rious complaint 011 the part gf ihe
I uhlie at our present system of trial
by jury which requires a verdict to
be concurred in by all 12 of the ju
rors-
In other bodies, eonclnsions are
reached by a majority, or at most by
a two thirds vole, and it is cmitondo I
by many that our law shmi tf be so
. inemied as to have the vt rdiet iu a
civil case determined by the in ij rtiy,
and in serious eiiminal cases, by two
thirds of the jury.
Cur present system of requiring a
unanimous verdict opens the way to
fraud. It it ,t i) 1 stable fo 0110 side
to secure upon the jury a single man
who will hold out for that side, he
ciD block a verdict in the most pal
I, able case. The new constitution
alopted iu Louuianua provides for a
departure in jury trials that will be
watched with interest by other states -
In cases where the punishment may
not be imprisonment at hard labor
the trial mav be by the judge, with
out a jury: if the punishment may be
imp: isouwent at bard labor, the ease
must be, tned by a jury of five, and if
the punishment must he hard labor,
then the ju'y shall consist of twelve,
the concurrence of nine of whom is
sufficient for a verdict-
The object was to lessen tbc delay
and expense of long jury trials and
hung juries- Sucre.-8 has been at
tained so far. More business is now
June at less cost. The constitution
l.as a provision in respect to the new
ju'y system that the legislature may
change it alter 1804 and return to the
old system if the new one is found
not to wotk well. The result ot Lou
isiana’s experiment will be watched
with interest, and it is likely tha 1
there will be departures along the
same line by other states before the
term ot Louisiana’s experiment is
ended —Augusta Chronicle.

goes out of it against his will, and
Lis trip between the two eternities is
exceedingly rough. The rule of con
trariness is one of the important feat
ures of the trip. When he is little
the girls kiss him. If he raises a large
family he is cal ed a poor man, lut if

he is a had manager, if he is rich he is
dishonest, if he is in politics it’s for

tell v here to place him he is no good
to his country, if he dees an act of

give to charity he’s stingy and lives
only for himself, if he dies young

Scrofula is a blood disease. Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla is a blood purifying
medicine. Mineral medicines only
drive scrofula below the surface.
Dr. J. C. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is a
vegetable remedy and it eradicates
the disease. There is no remedy
for scrofula equal to Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla.
“I was oared of a long-standing case of
scrofula by Dr. J. C. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
The disease first manifested itself when I
was a child, by breaking out in rod blotches
all ever my body. I wa3 not free from the
trouble until I took several bottles of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. That effected a per

A DOCTOR’S STORY
When M. D. was tacked to tny
name, I bowed at two shrines, my
profession and—my Angelina, Eei
name was not Angelina, but nay wife
being a modest little lady, desiies
she shall Dot be dragged before an
inquisitive publt c- Let, then, An
gelina represent the real woman'
Of course I had a rival, name,
Richard Somers age, twenty six;
general appearance, striking and
handsome; character, very bad.
Neither my affection for this gen
tinman nor his affection for me would
have caused a conflagration on any
river of which I know. We disliked
each other heartily from the first-
Ileing a much handsomer man than
myself, he might have been a danger
ous rival. However, he saved me all
t ouble. He committed a forgery
whteh was discovered sooner then he
exoeeted. He was arretted for the
offense, tried and convicted- I was
i'iie of the principal w itnesses against
nim. When the sentence was passed
upon him, he requested a moment’s
conversation with me. I shall 1 ever
forget the look of hatred upon his
face as he h ssed out:
‘ Vou h.<ve ruined my love and my
iife. Remember that, and fear nit!”
I attached but little importance to
his threat, I thought it simply the
bluster of a self-defeated and dis
graced rival.
Shortly after, Angelina and I
were married, and for two years, 1
hear t nothing of Somers. His sen
tence had been a comparatively light
one —a year and six months- After
his discharge from prison, however,
1 neither saw nor heard of hinr
For so young a man, I had been
very successful as a physician, prin
cipally due to my strict attention to
practice. No matter hew late, or
dark and stormy, might be the night,
I promptly attended to all summons
es to the bedside of suffering.
One night, a little while before the
hour of retiring, the door bell rang,
and shortly after .yard a man entered
the room where we were sitting. He
was tot prepossessing. His hair was
short aue thick, and the general cast
of his features villainous.
Wtdiout hesitation, I put on niv
coat and nut and prepared to go
with him
“A gentleman,” he said, “had
broken his leg.”
I thought it a pity that, if the gen
tleman were anything like bis mes
seßger, he hadn’t broken his Deck.
I did not tell my wife where I was
going, for it was a distant part of the
town, and in anvtning but a respect
able neighborhood. I did not wish
to make the little woman nervous.
On our w-ay, the unprepossessing
man was very uncommunicative. He
answered my inquiries abovt the in-

jured gentlomsn 111 surly monosylh
bles. 110 was apparently in no haste
for he walked very—more slowly
I thought, tha t was consistent with
the welfare of my pr.tient,
At last we arrived at our destina
tion- It was a very daik looking
bouse, in a very dark street.
My guide led me up two fiights of
very duty and rickety slnirf, that
creaked objections to our weight
upon them. In the third story, we
stopped t eforo a door, to my sur
prise, my companion opened with a
key which he took from his pocket-
Was he afraid that a man with a
broken leg would eseape? 1 was still
more surprised when, on entering
the room, I found it empty!
He motioned me to a chair, and,
remarking be would return so >ll, left
the 100 m.
For the first lime j was somewhat
nervous and suspicious- The empty
room—the last action of niv guide—
his carelessness, on our way, as t"
the health of the supposed injured
man—the lonely house and neigh
borhood —all combined to make me
snspest foul play
I stepped to the door, only to find
it locked from the outside — to tin
window, only to find escape impossi
bie there. It was many feet from
the ground.
My suspicions were now certain*
ties- I was trapped. None of my
friends, not even my wife knew where
I was. I might be murdered in this
den, ar.d mv death remain a mysterv.
I suppose I waited about an hour
before I heard the key turn in the
door- Then, to my dismay, half a
dozen men entered.
When nature made the jail bird
who had led me into this trap, she
did not brerkjihe mould- These men
were of the same pattern- All wore
the same hang dog, muderous look.
One of them raised the light in the
room, which had been burning low
With hardlv a glance at me, they took
seats upon the floor, and began to
play cards.
Soon the door opened, and another
man entered. I hardly had a hope
as I looked at him, for I saw ihe ex
ulting face of my enemy Dick Somers;
At a glance he saw that I receg
nize i him. With a malicious leer be
stepped forward, and, quoting his
own words of two years before, said;
“You have ruined my love and my
life. Remeinbei that, and fear me!’’
I saw in in:- face, at once showing
bis revenge and desperation, that
nothing could turn him assoc from
his purpose.
“Somers,” I said, “I knur that
you have trapped me here for the
purpose of revenging yourse’t [upon
me, but remember sir, that I ha e
friends! Remember law and justice!’
“1 fear nothing,” be answered, “I
dt-f. nun and God! Revenge on you
is dearer to me than life: and though
for me the bottomless pit were yawn
iug, I would hare it.”
I saw it was useless to appeal to
lum, and I sullenly wailed for what
seetued late.
At his command the ruffians
searched me. One of them, who ap
peared to be a kind of treasurer for
the gang, s<cured my watch and
pockethonk. Then they tied me with
ctout ropes to a chair.
Somers did not address me again,
but sat upon tie floor and gam 1 lei
with the rest. Presently he rose,
and, saying he would return by day
break, left the roein. Ho evidently
felt 1 was in his power and seemed in
no hurry to complete his revenge.
When he had gone the cardplay
ing was kept up loi a couple of hours.
Then the men all stietched them
selves upon the floor and slept. The
door opened inward, and across it
was 'he burly form of the treasurer.
In spiteof the apparent hopelessness
of the trial, I set about devising
some plan of escape.
Tho first thing to d<> was to free
myself. I have large wrists and
small hands. In tying me they had
not laken this into considera'ion-
Without much difficuly I liberated
my hands; then of course, it was the
work of but a few minutes to entirely
Irce myself from my bands.
Taking tbe precaution to place the
ropes in such a position, tha 1 , should
the gang awaken, 1 would still appear
to be bound - 1 thought upon my
chauces of escape. 1 hey certainly
appeared very lew and small. The
fact of the men upon the floor being
asleep, seemed little in my favor. I
could not move the ruffian who was
sleeping at he door without waking
him. Escape by the window was
impossible. Every plan tbit sugges
ted itself had insurmountable objec
tions to it. I had almost given up
scheming in despair, and concluded
to adopt some hopelessly desperate
measure, when I thought of tbe con
tents of a bottle 1 bad in my pockot.
In searching me, the ruffians had
aot disturbed it, thinking it of no im.
portance. It containdd chloroform.
I also had a sponge in my pocket

Drawing the bottle from my pocket
I soaked the sponge thoroughly with
its contents.
P,lowly, painfully (I could hear my
heart beat), with all the caution that
a man uges when his life may depend
upon the slightest noise, I stepped to
the side of the nearest ruffian.
1 placed the saturated sponge to
hiS nose. I saw him quickly yield to
the influence of the vapor- From
man to man I stepped. One by one
were made senseless, help;ess-
The man at the door was the last
I drew him away-, first securing my
watch and pocketbook- I also found
in his possession a blackjack, which
I took the liberty of appropriating
Then, openemeg the door, I stepped
out into the hull.
I still movnd cautiously, feeling
that all danger was not past. I
thought tlieie might be a watcher
there, but, to my relief, I descended
the first flight of stairs, and reached
the second story ia safety.
I had gone about half way down
the second flight. My heart stood
still, for 1 heard someone enter be
low, theu; in the muttered oath, I
recognized Somers’ voice. I crouch
ed dowu upon the stair next the wall,
hoping he might pass me. But as he
Dame up, his hand brushed my fare
pi * moment he had me by the
throut. I knew him to be by far the
more powerful man, and it was not, a
time for scruples. Quickly, it being
so dark he could not see’the action,
i raised the blackjack—l bad held
it since I left the room —and brought
it down heavily upon his skull.
His hand left my throat, and lie
rolled down stairs. I found him at
the foot quite still. I made good my
escape, not stopping to see if I had
Killed him. Ido not know to this
day whether he is living or dead. I
uever saw nor heard of him again.
