A colored man by the name of Ross,
who was lately convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be
banged at Brandenburg, Ky., was
granted a new trial on the ground that
he had not been convicted by a jury of
his peers, Theie was no colored man on
the jury that tried him.
The taste for realism is extending,
observes the Commercial Advertiser. In
Eova Scotia the other day three small
boys, under eight years all of them,
bound and gagged another small boy

luccessfully that they cut his throat
fatally to get the proper flow of blood.
Lord Wolseley says tbat one of the
bravest men he ever knew is Lieuienant
General Sir Gerald Graham, Y. C., whe
was in chief command at the battle of
El Teb, in Africa. Graham is several
inches over six feet in height, and rather
indolent physically. Many times Wolse¬
ley has seen him endanger his life rathei
than take a few extra steps in safety.
“Five million people upon the globe
lire now dependent on the electric cur¬
rent for their daily bresd,” so said Mr.
W. H. Preece, at the recent meeting of
the British Association held at Bath.
“Scarcely a week passes,” he continued,
“without some fresh practical applica¬
tion of its principles, and we seem to be
only on the shore of that sea of economy
ind beneficence which expands with
tvery new discovery of the properties of
electricity, and spreads already beyond
the mental grasp of any one single
worker,” And what is in store beyond
for man’s research and conquest who
shall say? ■

Statistics are not always interesting
reading, observes the New York Graphic ,
yet can any one fail to find cause for
rejoicing when he reads the fact that the
army of American school children'who
have resumed their studies numbers over
11,000,000? The latest data furnished
by the Government shows that there are
nearly 15,000,000 scholars enrolled upon
the lists of our schools, and that the
average daily attendance is fully 11,
000,000. Curiously enough the greatest
progress in this line is evidenced where
one would least expect it. The Territory
of Dakota shows the most marked in¬
crease in the number of her schools and
scholars, and is followed closely by tbat
oft slandered State, Indiana. In New
Hampshire, Vermont, Ohio, Nevada and
South Carolina there has been a marked
decrease in the number of school children
enrolled. The central States of the
North are far ahead of all the rest of the
Inion, and the Southern States, while
making rapid advance, still remain far
in the rear as to the number of their
children attending schools.
