The word jury' denotes, in short, :an institution so: coiritnonly known and so sacredly 1 egarded as a sort o palladium of J3rttislt liberty--uairne- ly, Trial by Jury—that we shall say a word or two concerning-- what is known of its origin among t:s. Per- haps we should rather sa.v that our remarks would tae theformof a .s. eulaation about the *origin otibtn Lind growth of trial by jury ;. for of the oarly history of E.'iis method of de- ciding disputed gitestion' of tai :very little is known accurately. our research, w soon get into t. � .far -back ages of fog arid mist, wile ,history gropes her way with falte ing and uncertain step. There in fact, no means O` discovers when trial by juey began in Engla.r -Juries sat to try cases in Henry, IL's time. Now what were Henry II.'s juries like ? It is matter of the purest conje.;ture. We cannot say, and we cannot and out. The growth of_trial by jury has probably 1,een a gradual process.. Its origin was, with little room for doubt, as fol- lows : hi t':e eatly times of our own. history a sanall number of men lived togetlter ; they constituted a titlnn or a larger number a hundred. N these names have no sensible mea ing, if we regard their ancient -meat ing. 'l'hey denote merely the limit the . barrel has, of cou twisted rifling.

Then they really meant an association .` ten families in a tithing, or a huh dred families in a hundred. A ma ,committed a crime in a hundred, say He wishes to purge hiwselt of hi itnputed guilt. His jury, by what he was tried, were the men of 11i own hundred. They knew ever act of his life—his 1n -coming, hi -out-going, his innocence, or his guilt they constituted the jury by whicl he was tried,; and the peauliat ity b their case' was that they tried the cause, leaving a complete previous knowledge of all the facts. , Herein lies one chief difference between our ancient and our modern jury. While •the jurors of of early times possessed a full knowledge of all the facts of the case, the modern twelve—" good men and true''—=are men caught hap- hazard in the streets we May say, sten who are`supposed to be perfect- ly innocent of any knowledge of the farts of the case they are to try un-. til they heer the evidence. After hearing that evidence, they tell the 'Judge what they thinkabout it. It has not been for so very long a per- rod thiit the fear of a packed jury -has ceased in England ; at d in the - last century at celebrated Judge said it was one of the highest feats of constitutional government to ;get twelve honest then into a jury -box. It is thus established. that a modert juror is the very opposite of the old juryman ; Ter the one entered upon a trial, in all cases, with `a know- ledge of the facts of the case ; the other, as rule, knows nothing of them until they are disclosed in evi- dence. And this knowledge possess- ed by the old. jurors wag.: a matter of necessity-. Take the case, for exam- ple, of al, small --village ,nowadays. Everybody knows everybody else's business, and, if the men of the vil- lage tried the criminal themselves, ignorance of facts: and freedom from. prejudice would be alike impossible. -Once a Week. 4 Wounds Inflicted by fferent. Weapons. 1 A col responder t of the London Times writes from the headquarters of one of the German armies in France : I have made a great many inquiries about the wounds inflicted by different weapons, and I find that the evidence is, on the whole, to the effect that the Chassepot inflicts a mere dangerous wound than. the needlegun, and is a more effective weapon in every respect. -A thought- less inq wirer may find surgeons who will assert the contrary, because the Chassepot bullet at a long range is perhae,s less destructive than the needlegun at a short one. Thec.ri- Lice made by the French bullet is small, and if no bone has been touched,is apt to heal over quickly; bhit the canal made through the flesh inflames, suppurates, and causes dan- ge •pus swelling and internal evil. 1 So, itheroughly is this now tinder- stolid, that some of the best surgeons tai the wax an hol will glomi fitful law• dei•ed bac crossing 1, stand i quant.room, o hallow serve; how t to focus inn cence ii d depen ove • us, and ti e k Leel mol ten sunshine, area the western a yea •s ago, we kne ,, lisping m r y times, us n, has the cre. -hours, th fait and pr plu ging into Years have tw.- .n her an hick en from o her unselfish 1 }tar ee.. wour oN es of bus - totheo the well nee tear th -n t •s r ex 11 J Mother. s: have had • i•, Not '.a tmeled and higoon, her. white_ jew- he clasp of , old fashion - width eyes 10 e light i st threaded i bion her Par hands, hid.n • our huo.i, 'and 1i sickness ; n yearning' weep spirit y spray of ssed is the t it 1 1 r 1 0 t ed r e be Ian ocher entitanaing r souls away 1 shine 's por- hen in ur feet ion) stead, orn th res- n she low, by t, f c ei n. d ti d 11 ndow--jt st knelt by. of ' Our Fa h hen the 'e. memory o t riothe 's yet;s, sa e. the deep n 'lied gre tt us, but t e it sight li • vel ---'I'.

Thele is a case here att-this moment of a sol- dier whose tibia was penetrated in this manner. The bullet retained its form, with the exception of. a httle derangement of its point.. Generatlly speaking, rthe missile flattens out and splinters the bone just in proportion to its fol ce in striking. The Chassepot bullet is lighter than that of the: needlegun, but its velocity at any given dis- tanee is far greater. The new Ba = v arian rifle, the Werder, is better hasi either- Chassepot or the needle - gun, but as yet only the picked roops are armed with it.
