that suffices to prove the claimant‘s right to

caxcfully buttcncd with luth ; if of logs. the

doorway and creep along the humble eaves.
while small plats. smiling with violets. lurk-
spur. love~bell and honeysuckle. transplant
ed from the. prairie. hover around the
modest domicile. true indices to the female
spirit that rules within.
The novelty of their situation seems to
charm these women pioneers; their face
and form are the embodiments of happinem
and health: they as heartily enjoy a tramp
ovor the prairie. in search of the boundary
lines of their claim. as tho society girls en-
joy a trip in a dog-cart or sail on the lake.
They become adopts in the use of rifle and
shot-gun ; they learn to handle the‘harveelci
es deftly as their masculine neighbors and
ride the sulky plow with as much grace as
her refined sister would ornament a tricycle.
The majority of these pioneers are schoob
misucesee. who pursue their Greek, Intin.
astronomy. botany or chemistry during
their leisure moments in their prairie home
during the summer and pursue their voca-
tion in village or city schoolmom during
the winter months. Thus they preserve
their health. keep up their studies and slow-
lybut surely build up for themselves s
borne that they can point to with just pridr

The hardships and trials which these
brave little pioneers undergo are enough to
shake the courage of the sterner sex. Mrs.

from this that railroad building in that
country is brisk. Two of the csn I helped
to load on the steamer in New York were
specially designed for noblemen in Buencs
Ayrce. They were gotten up without re-
gard to expense. and cost $35,000 each.
Theywere“ feet long by 9 wide. and

“ Jury~nxere.“ explained u New Yorkcr
this morning. “ are men who make u busi~
nus of influencing juries. They are to be
found in all large cities. and New York has
been cursed with them to a cousidcruble
degree. Thor-e men are fellows who have a
little political influence and unlimited
check. “'ben any important case comes
on they will endeavor to makc arrangcmcuts
with one side or the other to assist in pro-
curing a verdict. The jury~tlxcr :wuiinee a
mysterious air. and intimates that the thing
can be accomplished for a certain 11mm of
money. He may or he may not make a
bargain. If he does. in nine cases out of
ten he tie-frauds his employer. There are
roses. however, when jurydlxers do dcfoat the
ends of justice. These detestable erratum
attend the court where the case in hand is
to be trieu. study the jurymen. and learn
from the drawing clips the names. resi-
dences and busineu of the jurors they
decide to approach. It is a comparatively
safe matter for an experienced man to enter
into conversation with the jurymsn. and
gradually gain his confidence. It is not
always nave-sly to use money. Many men
who could not be bribed with money are
susceptible to May. coaxing and bullying.
Promise o’fiioliticsl prefer-merit goes a long
way. ’Ihenif a 'jury-nxer' can procure
hieownesllingupcnspsnelhabesa great
point. If he is accepted he can at least hang
the jury. You have noticed men who be
tray their anxiety to serve upon juries. It
h well always to be suspicious of such men.
You have perhaps observed that these men
who try to appenr regulation blockbesd
jurors. who declare that they have read
nothingoftliscsssiu question. know none
ofthspsrtles.haveno bias. and all that,
are generally peremptorlly challenged by
old and experienced lawyers. They are
afraid of men who want to serve on juries.
They may be all rhht. but the chances are
