New York jurymen have queer notions about
their duties In the case Of the murderer Real,
Just convicted, four Of the jurymeu ''swear that
they would not have given the verdict Of guilty
except that they had been assured that the Gov
ernor would commute the sentence" Its very
difficult to understand under what combination
Of circumstances the four jurymen referred to
should have had occasion TO "sweur" to the
reasons which Influenced them ia making up
their verdict. But il the above statement be
true, il might be profitable to inquire from
whom and under what circumstances they OBJ
tanned assurances that the Governor would CON-
mute the sentence. Such blasting communica-
tcus in ordinary courts Of justice would not only
vitate the right Of jurors to determine the case,
but subject them to heavy penalties. The duty
Of jury is plain and simple, involving no per-
sonal responsibility for the fate Of the prisoner on
trial; aud having ascertalncd the facts involved,
the proper performance Of their duty requires
simpl y an impartial verdict according to the law
and the evidence.

The latest accounts from Yokohama disclose
that the recent earthquakes and subm ,rine con.
yulsions have been the most severe and frequent
since ancient times. The shocks which have re-
Gently been felt number between 40 and 40.
On the days when these were most frequent and
severe the whole earth appeared to be in con-
slant tremor. In the eleven years during which
a record Of this phenomenon has been observed,
the average has been four shocks, Of greater or
less magnitude, per month, except during the
last eighteen months, when the average has been
reslueel to one in six weeks. On the LIST OF
May, the shocks suddenly became more frequent,
and increased daily in number, until the night
Of the 18th, when there came the most severe
shock which has yistel the Empire for several
years. II wss ushered In by a sudden violent
quiyering Of the earth. or, more properly, series
OF jerks. These lastei several seconds. anu ter
minated in n heavy surgng or wsyy motion,
which seemed to be forcing the creaking walls
Of the house down upon their occupants. All
sprang from their beds and made Us rapid pre-
gress as the darkness and their bewilderment
would permit into the streets. Some did not
dare 10 return into their dwellings. but remain
Ell in the public thOroughfarc during the entire
night. The natives Of Japan, in their explsna-
ton OF earthquakes, attribute them to the move
meuts Of a turtle, on the back Of which they say
their Islands rest There are many rumors atOat
AS to the absorption Of whole villages and great
loss OF life. but none have been confirmed.

The most graphic accounts thus far OF the
yey an adequate idea Of its horrors and de-
structiveness. The latest reports chronicle the
fact that more than 1000 houses were complete
ly destroyed, and property to the value VI s4O,-
0O0, 900 was sacrificed. Upwards Of one thous-
and dead bodies have already been recovered
and there av still 6fteen hundred missing per-
sous unaccounted for. Seven fire companies,
engines and men. persisted in the flames. The
staf Of the English Journal Published in the
city the Leyant Herald including editors, compos-
itors and clerks. barely escaped with their lives.
The horrible incidents are too numerous TO de-
tail Mothers, flthers and friends were TO be
ssen In ssery direction yainly searching among
the ashes for ehildr n. brothers and sisters. In
one direction lay some twenty dead bodies, close
together, burned into dark mass Of charred
matter, while near by were many others who
could scarcely be recognised rs having ever been
living men and women. The wind was 70 vio-
lent and the flames spread with such rapidity
that the people knew not where to fly for safety !;
all around them nothing appeared but certain
death In its most frightful form, and II Is only
surprising that 80 few becime It's victims.
Strangest Of all is the fact that the hre thus dis
astrrus rsged but q few hours, and spread with
such rapidity that buildings were swept away
in an instant, anil made an explosion like that
Of aesnnou. We are happy TO re: ord that
every effort that can possibly be male Is being
extended to relieve the sufferers, and both mon-
ey and shelter for the thousands rendered home
less by the great calamity are contributed I'M
