went to the jury with apparently absolute
certainty of instantaneous conviction.
Such, indeed, must have been the result
but for the dissent of one juror, and he the
foreman. This person, a man of education,
high social aud moral estimation and large
property, begged the Judge to permit the
Jury to retire for consultation, and then so
reasoned, pleaded, and actually pray

unanimous judgment as to fairly weary
them finally into joining him in verdict of
acquittal. But the astounded Chief Justice
Indignantly refused to accept the verdict,
and sent them back again and again to
their room, until at last he was obliged to
accept it. The unhappy men, cursing their
foreman, were discharged in disgrace,
with the blood of an unavenged murder
left at their door - though the prisoner, at
his unexpected and seemingly miraculous
release, fell upon his knees in court with
the cry: You see, my lord, that God and
a clear conscience can save the lost"

what means so strange a verdict had been
effected, and that the man responsible for
it was both intelligent and of high charac-

countries with jocose antics and humorous
stories. Many adventures had he, which
he related ON his return with much gusto.
He partook of the free Inequalities of the
monks in the monasteries, slept on straw
in humble barns, and when he reached a
village would pull out Institute and strike
up a lively air, to which the rustics
would respond with dances, and in
recompense for which he would OBJ
tain modest lodging and something
to eat. When he came 70 eXtremities
he did not disdain to beg; and in Italy,
where the surfeit of music rendered his
poor flute poweriess, he used to earn his
keeping by engaging in the competitive
discussions at the universities, the champi-
on of which would claim free dinner and
bed. " In this manner" he says, / fought
my way toward England, walked along
from city to city, and, II ! may so express
it, saw both sides of the plcturer At Paris

Schurz. He is their idol; but there was
one listener whose interest was his inspira-
ton. Mrs. Schurz is the most sincere of
worshipers at that shrine. Her husband is
always sure of one devoted nearer when he
speaks in public, notwithstanding she has
already approved all that was written Of the
speech. He always acknowledges her
presence in the Senate at such times with
an expectant look. She answered him
to day, as she often does, with congratula-

and uncommon intellect have given him the
