For and About Juries.
Siss-sss
seats in the jury box than they are sudden
ly transformed into imbeciles of the most
unhappy description. Wry few, indeed,
seem to understand that their sole duty is
to render a verdict according to the evi
dencejiefore them. Nearly all imagine
that they aie to act as interpreters ol the
law, and a great majority seem to regard
themselves as arbiters entrusted with the
settlement of a dispute according to their
individual preferences In many instances
jurors will spend many weary hours of con
saltation and debate over cases which u,
the mind of the court, the bar and the out
side public, areas clear as the noonday sun.
end then come in with a verdict entirely in
conflict with the evidence and at variance
with the conclusions to which everybody
else has arrived. Their methods, too, are
often very singular. Property, liberty, and
even the question of life or death, hav been
made to depend upon the tossing of a coin
in a jury room. There is, in fact, hardly
any eccentricity of which the average jury
man is not liable to be guilty.
A curious example or the kind was one
the subject of comment in the English
newspapers. One Gerald Mainvaring was
recently tried (or the murder of a police
man at Derby. There was some doubt eu
tertained as to portions of the evidence ;
the jury was out a iong time, but finally a
verdict of “guilty" was rendered, and the
culprit was duly sentenced to he hanged
Subsequent inquiry revealed the tact that
the “twelve nood men nnd true" were di
vided equally during aluiosl the whole pe
riod ol consultation, six being for convic¬
tion and tix for acquitul. At last, what
seemed to be a brilliant idea was suggested
and approved. The jury agreed to choose
by ballot one ol their number who should
vote twice and thus break upon the dead¬
lock. The choice happened to tali upon
om who favored the theory of guilt. He
accordingly cast two votes, and thus a ma
jorily of one was obtained for the condem
nation of the prisoner. The six tlissen
tients yielded and g ive their assent to the

The Grave ol Liglit Horso Harry Lee.
Dungennes Castle is to-day a crumbling
ruin. When 1 saw it in midwinter hot, it
only suggested barren desolation. The
chambers where the guests were wont to
meet a quarter of a century ago and make
merry their midnight carousals, were un
tenanted and deserted. The wails were
mouldy and decaying, and the great ralters
supporting the upper tiers and roof almost
turn filing in. The avenues, onto so shelter¬
ing and secluded, were dark and now
massed in inextricable confusion with tan
gled. matted vines, through which one
picktd his way with hesitating step. Rank
weeds instead ot flowers lined the herders
of what were once shady groves The trees
grew wild ami unkept, and all spoke of the
absence of the living and betokened only a
wilderness that death might have coveted.
Treading my way carefully to a little
secluded spot back ot the old castle, l
came upon a raised mound of earth, over
whifh tlie tangled grass ami creeping vines
grew in wild confusion. A slab at one end,
and now gray with the seasons and almost
hidden from view by the rusty leaves ot a
wild ivy, told me I was in the presence ot
the dead, and that I had stumbled upon a
grave. Quickly clearing away the rubbish
with my hand, 1 read the name. It was
that of Light-Horse Harry Lev father of
Robert li. Lee, of Confederate tame. T he
triend I had with me briefly, and without
comment, told me the story of the de

Kleptomaniacs in Paris.
In an interesting book on the Grands
Magasins de Paris,” M. Pierre Giffard give
some curious information about the ladies

shopping expeditions. He says that n0
fewer than 4,000 women are caught every
year stealing before the counter The num

were a Russian princess, a French countess’

more distinguished offenders art let off on
the payment of a round sum tor the reliet of
the poor, and when the shoplifter is known
to be rich the sum exacted rises as much as
10,000 francs. The police authorities con
