worst excesses Stefania trembled with aw,
as she stopped under its frowning walls, iron
whose fractured and irregular edges the darl
ivy descended in long, broad threads, not ad
hesive to the masonry, but loose, and waving
in the night breeze like the banners of death
She looked in vain for door to open, with
passionate, fond welcome from Lamberto
There was no door in the lower part of til,
editice but anon, after shrill whistle from
her conductor, she heard harsh, creaknl
noise high above head, and looking up, she
saw a narrow arched aperture in the wal
thrown open. The light of torches glared
through the opening, and she heard the harsh
voices of several men. The next minute a
folding flight of wooden steps, scarcely more
convenient than a scaling ladder, was lowered
Agitated by thousand contrasting passions
and with giddy head Stefania could not as
cend by such steps as those, and her conductor
carried her up in his arms. She landed in q
narrow passage that penetrated the stupendous
thickness of the wall, and opened into vast
rooiless corridor, where the wind caused the
torches by which she was preceded to wayer
and flicker with strange effect, while, at the
same time, their light disturbed innumerable
tenants of the ruins, the owls and the bats,
that moped and hooted and fitted with wings

had abandoned her home, and all in the world

gagged with the priest, and that she would in
stantly be in his company. lie threw open n

eyes, uttered faint scream. Against the wall
she saw, by faulty light, tall white figure,
with hand upraised as if to menace or ad-
monish; and to her agitated senses it assumed
the form of her mOther-of that afiectionate
mother she had abandoned SO precipitately.

JrRYxKs The San Francisco Mirror. i

JrRYMEN The San Francisco Mirror, in
an article on "biased jurymen," says
"Citizens should not forget that it is con-
scientious, honest, honorable men whom
the law would summon to arbitrate, reason
and conclude where the rights OF lives OF
ethers are at stake. The law requires ju-
rors capable Of being unchangeabiy biased
by truth, but not before all the truth has
been set forth. Thick-headed persons in
capable of opinion, or too listless to form
any, are not the ones whom justice would
call to the jury-boI to deliberate"
As jurys are drawn and managed in this
State they are bore to the community, and
1t is no wonder that every respectable citi-
sen attempts to avoid jury duty, as nearly
all do. Therei is in most cases in our courts
. fright and wrong side. 1t rarely hap
pens that both plaintiff and defendant are
In the right. The lawyer on the wrong
side sees No chance of success except in the
selection Of a jury he can humbug to find
head to hing out against the others. 1t
very freqrently happens that jackass is
allowed to sit as juror, and honest, con-
seientious, intelligent men are kept out all
night, and justice thNarted at last by the
stubborn. brute. Such instances are SO
common that NO man of business or worth
likes to take the chances of nights sta,
bling with long cared animal, sHd there
fore tries every method to avoid it by join
ing FIRE and military compaLies, and even
sometimes by straining his oath little.
Judges might do much to lessen the re-
pugnance to jury duty, if when they see
aelt among the jurors impanneled, whom
tte5 know to be mentally disqualified, they
could discharge him from service without
ceremony. Itwould be an act of justice

Of expense, Irritation of temper, sleepless
nights and an indefinite number of curses

than was ever INDUCED in by the army in

this wise:

Failure OF THE CoTToN AND Corn CROP
A correspondent of the New York Times
writing from Montgomery, Ala, after pass
ing through South Carolina and Georgia.
says the cotton and corn crop bas been
greatly injured this year from the drouth,
and that little more than a half crop will
be gathered. The liability of a failure of
the corn crop induces the planters in those
States to keep over large quantities of old
corn. A run is already made upon the old
stores. The same correspondent, who seems
to be collecting agent from the North, re-
ports that there is no money in the South
to pay their little bills.
Without money and without provisions,
what a sorry spectacle the secession States
would make going out of the Union, and
detaching themselves from the crib that
feeds theml South Carolina may produce
cotton, but the Times correspondent says
the cotton lands are poor in soil. Probably
not many years will elapse ere the State
will furnish its quota of worn out slave
lands to matsh those of Virginia. 1t is nc
wonder that anticipating the time when the
earth shall refuse to produce cotton in Souta
Carolina, the shareholders arr struggling tt
found an inalienable right to the virgin sol
