ELEOTIVE JURORS.

Wkat would bo tho objections to slotting juror* lbr tbo several Oonrto of oor «toto, for a urn of yoara, and paying them stipulated salaries? Under the workings of the present system men are not u»(roqupnUf oonsoripted at times jrhw it Forks great hardship to ffcefcr pirif ate business and compelled to dsypte tflefr time and thoaghts to the iprvioe of what is often no more thao the mere private interearn of other wdiridual*; and for jlhis sarrijse oply retire » miserable pittapee jrfe/ab i» insufficient to fnpjport their familiee while they lye tflas engaged, pot to mention ftof wwwpmmo for foe iomee that are entailed upon their h»«i»ess. Take for an illustration of thie the sass of a farmer who is drawn to terra oaths regular panel of the pireuit court for six months. Court is in regular session twice during this period, and each terra may sit aOßtinuously for three weeks. They pnay commence in April or May irhen the juror should be plowing, ' sowing oats, or planting corn; they /nay onmmeaoe in July or August, frhsa eereale and hay should be harvested, bis hay out and staoked,

fit his pom-bald cultivated; in September or October when potatoes /oust be dug, fruit gathered and ptmidiftDd 00m bnaked and cribbed, ft is not impossible that the previous year btougbt calamity to the victim. Sickness may have incapacitated himself for labor or compelled his attention upon bis family to the neglect of his Helds; drought pnay have withered bis young crop, wst may havs blasted it, frost may have out it off before maturity, or firs may have consumed it in the garner; he may be a poor man that is opening out a new farm to cultivation, with payments yet to make' pn the home -of his wife and little ones, with a store barely sufficient to filed them until the succeeding harvest lime, and no resources pther than his pateb of ground, his plow, Ms team and his own stalwart adfe*. Any of these aontin genples, all of them, and even many Others that suggest themselves but era not mentioned might conspire under the system in operation to make service in the jury-box a burden more intolerable to bear than the punishment which ii inDieted by the same statute-book ippoip the erlmlnals whose casee he is compelled to decide. Is there any way to relieve our jury system of its injustice to the juror who is to secure justice to Individuals and to the public ? The Valparaiso Vidrtte, whose editor has had honorable experienoe on the bench and is familiar with the science of jurisprudence, has ppade valuable suggestions respecting gourt practice in its various branches during past years.

How to Obtain High Health.

Walker, in bis "Original,” lays down the following rules for attaining high health. They are worth remembering: "First—Study to acquire a composure of mind and body. Avoid agitation or hurry of one or the other, especially just before and after meals, whilst the piocess of digestion is going on. To this end, govern your temper, endeavA* to look at the bright side of thiugs, keep down, as much as possible the unruly passions: discard envy, hatred and malice, and lay your head upon your pillow in charity with ail mankind. Let not your wants over run your means. Whatever difficulties you have to encounter, be not perplexed, but only think what is right to do in the sight of Him who seeth all tilings, and bear without repining the result. When your meals are solitary let your thoughts be cheerful; when they are social, which i 6 better, avoid disputes or serious arguments on unpleasant topics. ‘Unquiet measl,’ says Shakespeare, 'make ill digestions,’ and the contrary is produced by easy oouversatiou, a pleasant subject, welcome news or a lively companion. I advise wives not to eutertain their husbands with domestic grievances about children or servants, not to ask for money, nor produce unpaid bills, nor propound unseasonable questions; and I advise husbands to keep the cares and vexations of the world to themselves, and to be oommunicative of whatever is oomforting, and cheerful, and amusing."

STATE NEWS.

It is ostimatad that th« value of the tobacco crop of Spencer county for 1876 amounted to $600,000. G. M. Hewett, of Indianapolis, was SIOO,OOO on the wrong side of operatiena in oorn, took siok and died in a dozen hours. Hon. John Pettit was a prominent personage at, and took an aotivapart in, the republican convention of Lafayette recently. During the month ot March 45,000 cigars were manufactured at Indianapolis, and 50,000 were sold. This would indicate that the balance of trade was hopeful to the manufacturers there. Harvey Burrows and two heathen Chinese reoently engaged in an angry discussion over a disputed laundry bill at Foit Wayne, which resulted in the exchange of about a dozen revolver shots and the wounding of all three. It is thought that both Chinamen were fatally injured in the melee.
