The Testimony of an Expert.

In discharging a boy who was acquitted of shooting a companion, on the ground that, though he handled a loaded revolver carelessly, the shootifeg was accidental, Judge Gildersleeve, ex-Cap-tain of , the American rifle-team, said: “You should not have a leaded pistol upon your person or about you. I may claim that I have had an extensive experience in handling fire-arms, yet I ■ t would as soon have a rattlesnake near me as a loaded gun, and one is likely to be as dangerous as the other.”
