WOMEN AS JURORS.

Excitement in Wyoming Territory.
We propose to let our readers into
the secret of a few facts illustrative of
the great excitement which our female
jury has caused in the world. On the
evening of the day on which we first
published the list of names. the West
era Union Telegraph operator here
broke in upon the regular dispatches to
call Chicago, and told them he had some
news to send. They told him to wait
till the regular report was done. "But"
said the operator, stthis is h--ll!' SWELL
send it along" wa4 the reply. He then
proceeded TO forward an account of the
drawing Of the jury, the names of all
he ladies, and the remarks of the ''Sent-
incl on the subject, giving our paper
the credit, like gentleman as he is.
As soon as the nature of the dispatch
became known, great interest was man.
ifested along the line to get it fully and
accurately, and this office was several
times obliged to repeat parts Of it, es-
pecially the names of jurors. SO that
they might get them correctly. After
the message had gone over the wires, it
was amusing in the extreme to hear the
various ejaculatory remarks which it
called forth from one end of the country
to the other. But this was the least
part of the excitement. The whole
message, including the 'Sentiners' re-
marks, was the same night sent over the
cable, and the next morning after the
drawing of our jury all the particulars,
together with the names of the ladies,
were published in all the leading jour-
nails of Europe, and furnished to the
crowned heads-to prince and peasant
to digest with their coffee at the
breakfast table. Even more remarkable
results than this have sprung from it.
which as yet we are not at liberty to
make public. More than hundred
and fifty messages have been received
at this office asking for facts and further
particulars. We doubt if the firing on
Fort Sumpter raised a greater excite
ment in the world at large than the se-
lection Of females to sit as jurors away
out here in the Rocky Mountains.

LOWE NO MAN A DOLLAR.
BY CHARLES P. sHIRAS.

Oh, do not envy, my dear wife,
The wealth of our next-door neighbor,
But bid me still to be stout of heart,
And cheerfulIy follow my labor.
You must know the last of those little debts,
That have been our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night; so we'll both go forth,
And shake hands with the world to morrow.
oh, the debtor 10 but shame faced dog,
With the creditors name his collar;
While am king, and you queen,
For we owe no man a dollar.
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,
With his wife and his Haunting daughter,
While we sat down at our cherries board
To a crust and q cup of water.
saw that the tear-drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal it
know that the contrast reached your heart,
And you could not help but feel it.
But knowing now that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
You'll join my laugh, and help me shout,
That we owe no man dollar!
This neighbor, whose show has dazzled your eyes,
In fact is a wretebed debtor,
pity him oft, from my very heart,
And wish tlathis lot was better.
Why the man is the verest slave alive
For his dashing wife and daughter
Will live in style, though ruin should come,
So he goes like . lamb to the slaughter.
But he feels it the tighter every day,
That terrible debtors collar
Oh, what would be give could he say with US
That he owed no man a dollar
You seem amazed, but I'll tell you more
Within two hours met him,
Sneaking along with a frightened air,
As if fend had beset him.
Yet he fed from very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure,
Whom called by name, and forced to stop,
Though he said he was not at leisure.
He HELD MY LAST NOTE! so held him fast
Till he freed my neck from the collar;
Then shook his hand as l proudly said,
"Now l owe no dollar :"
All, now you smile, for yon feel the force
Of the truths I've been repeating;
knew that downright honest heart
In that gentle breast was beating!
Tomorrow I'll rise with giants strength
To follow my daily labor,
But ere we sleep let US humbly pray
For our wretched next-door neighbor:
And We'll pray for the time when all shall be free
From the weigbtof the debtors collar.
When he who was crushed in the wise may cry,
Snow owe man a dollar !'

The question whether women shall
be allowed to pray in public is discuss
ed in several of the Protestant papers
of France. Rev. ]. p. Cook, a leading
Methodist minister of Paris, says in the
"English Libre' that his experience au-
thorizes him to say that there are more
brethren, proportionanly, than sisters
whose language in public worship is
NAL apropos, and not to edification.

learn from reading the letter of your

the petition now before the Legislature to have
the onice Of Naval Stores Inspector abolished re-.
presents that the inspectors frequently brand In
ferior grades OF tnypentiae as first quality, and
when called upon to refund the money lost by
their careessness or lncOmpetency, refused to do
so, stating that they were not responsible. This
charge so far rs 1t applies to me, Is false During
the time have held the olllee OF Naval Stores In
spector, have never branded barrel OF tufpel,-
tine; that part OF the duties Of the office has been
performed by another party, who presume, is
able to answer for himself Neither has any de-
mand ever been made upon me to refund money
lost by my carelessness or incompetency as an in
spcctor OF roslns. Tile charge male against me
in regard to underbldding and lnjuring the coop.
ers trade Is equally false n all Its bearings.
employ coopers, and make the fees as low as pos
slble in order to benefit the producer and CON-
pete with other naval stores markets. The state
ment that the merchants and factors OF Charles
ton are willing to pay six cents per barrel for
coopering, Is q Misrepresentation. Will venture
TO saw that no merchant or factor of Charleston,
who has proper regard for the interests Of his
customers, will submit to any such charge, when
it can be done for two and three.qnarter cents. If
the bill passes the orlce will be abolished in name
but not in reality. The duties will be performed
under new name, with increased charges, as it
will bc necessary, in order to effect sales, to have
each barrel of rosin sampled to arrive at the
quality Of the same.
