A Quick Juror.

His Hon. Judge Gibson tells an amusing story
of the way o juror went for conviction. lie says
he was trying n murder case n few years ago
down in one of the wire grass counties, and e1pe-
rienced great difficulty in getting a jury; that
eleven Jurors had been sworn IN, and In the next
PANEL was brought in a small, lank, lean, cada-
verous-loOking fellow, who had on one shoe. bis
pants were nearly above bis kOees, his shirt open
both front and back, and the aforesaid trousers
were held up by a single g~allOws. The solicitor
proceeded to ask the usual questions in such
cases, as follows:
'Haye you from having seen the crime com
mitted, or having heard any Of the testimony de-
liyered under oath, formed or expressed any
opinion as to the innocence or guilt Of the pris-
oner at the bar?"
And the "single gallus' follow, in clear
and distinct voice, answered, a. Not any

The State did not like the juror much, but II
being late and jurors scarce, he was put upon
the prisoner in the usual manner, the solicitor
saying, Juror look at the prisoner; prisoner,
look upon the Juror"
The juror was quite near the prisoner, and
when this command was given he bent over him
scanning him from head to foot. The juror
looked at the prisoner firmly in the face, anc
then turning to the judge, said, in a firm, solemn
voice, " Yes, jedge, | think he's guilty"

THE PACIFIC
SATURDAY,, MAY ;
(From our Extra. .apriI so, 1s77.)

(From 0sr Extra, .4priI so, ls7T.)
We give L brief summary Of the news for our
island subscribers. The most important Is the an
nouneement that war is a, last about to commence
between Russia and Turkey. The protocol, or basis
Of peace negotiations, was signed by the rep
ressntatiVes of England, Russia, Germany, Austris,
France and Italy on the 31st Of March. On the
18th Of April it was definitely made known that
Turkey rejects the procotol, and the general conclu-
sion throughout Europe was that war must result.
In fact, although . formal declaration Of war had
not been made, yet active operations had begun
the Russians had crossed the Pruth preparatory to
entering Moldavia, and thesTurks are reported as
throwing bridges across the Danube. for the passage
of their armies. These movements plainly indicate
war, although it is reported that Austria will yet
make an effort 10 preserve peace, with but little
expectation Of any result.
Cable dispatches say that the Gar himself win
join the army on April oath.
The Alta says
Via Brussels. the telegram through lie .NOrd from
London comes, stating that the English Govern
ment thinks that further steps in favor of peace are
useless. Evidently. the Porte believes that England
will exert her good offices in favor of her old ally,
Turkey. And it is more than likely that she is
right. Because. if there be a skeleton in Great
Britain's closet, it is the faneied presence Of Russian
ambition. It is the nightmare Of centuries, which
has troubled the British Government and the British
people. In every movement Of Russia in Asia
toward the east and the south, Great Britain has
felt that the great struggle for Asiatic Empire was
brought one degree nearer. And now, in the presence
of inevitable war between Russia and Turkey,
with a conviction that the Russ is able TO overpower
the Turk, she is placed by the superior diplomacy Of
Gortschakof and Ignatieff in such a position that
one can scarcely see how she can intervene between
the contending nations, or become openly the ally of
Turkey. In fact, to attempt the latter would prove
Disraeli's overthrow, because the reports Of Turkish
atrocities committed upon the poor Christian people
Of Bulgaria and elsewhere have pretty cdectually
weaned the British people from entertaining any
sympathy whatever with the Turk. From present
appearances, Turkey stands alone against her great
enemy, with the sympathies of all Europe against
her.
President Hayes having withdrawn the United
States troops from the capital Of South Carolina,
Governor Chamberlain withdrew and Wade Hamp-
ton was declared Governor of the State.
A Commission appointed by President Hayes to
investigate the Louisiana complications,-as to who
is Governor-had not come to any conclusion.

Here is something else that happened ''out
West" The latest dog story is told of two
brutes of that species who fell to fighting in
a sawmill out West. In the course of the
tussle one of the dogs went plump against a saw
in rapid motion, which cut him in two instan-
ter. The hind legs ran away, but the fore
legs continued to fight, and whipped the other
dog. Another proof that the ruling passion
is strong in death.

Count Schouvaloff made the following decla-
ration before the signing of the protocol "If
peace with Montenegro is concluded and the
Porte accepts the advice of Europe, and shows
itself ready to replace itself on a peace footing
and seriously to undertake the reforms men,
toned in the protocol, let it send to st. Peters
burg a special envoy to treat of the disarma-
ment, to which His Majesty, the Emperor, would
also on his part consent. If massacres similar
to those which have stained Bulgaria with blood
take place, this would necessarily put a stop
to the measures Of demobilization.'
