One of the Petit Jurors Excused on Ac-
count OF Pair of Shoes.
Shortly after the Criminal court convened
yesterday morning District Attorney Wells
said that he was compelled to call the atten-
tion OF the court to painful matter. Since
the adjournment Of the court one of the petit
Jurors wv. c. Cllase) had been convicted of Il
crime, aud he was forced to ask that the Juror
be excused from further service, and another
summoned TO fill his place. After examining
the record and all the proceedings in tho court
below, he WIS satisfied that the man should
not have been convicted; still, being confronted
by that record, he was compelled to ask that
the Juror be excused. Mr.. Thomas Miller iu
behalf of the juror, explained the crcum-
stances Of the larceny case, and thought ii
would be easy to satisfy the court that no
crime had been committed or intended Tho
man unfortunately neglected TO appe Il his
case in time, aud the record stands against him.
Colonel VIM. a. Cook desired TO say one word
about the matter. He thought it hard for the
man to bear this stigma upon his reputation,
which had heretofore been spotless, aud he
hoped the court would take some action to
bring the case before IL and permit this man
10 redeem his good name, His Honor thought
n case of that kind ought still receive uttcn-
ton. and did not think it too late. They
could bring ii up by CertiOrari. and hoped that
would be done so that the juror might re-
ceivo public acquittal. Under the law, how
over, aud tho record against him, the juror
was debnrred from serving ON the jury.

Pen Pictures by Chaucer and Spenser.

Sponsors manner of portraiture differs
much from that of Chaucer, whom he
names his poetical master. Ambling
Canterbury ward, with his eyes on the
ground. the earlier poet could steal
sprightly glances at every member of
the acknowledgements which took in
the tuft of hairs upon the millers nose,
the sparkle of pins in the friar's tippet,
and the smooth forehead and little rosy
mouth of Nine. Byzantine. We should
know the "Wife of Bath" if we met
her, by the wide-parted teeth, the dull
ness of hearing, the bold laugh, the
liberal tongue F; we should expect to see
the targe.like hat, the scarlet stockings
and the shining shoes. Sponsors gaze
dwelt longer on things. in more pas
sive luxury Of sensation or with rever-
ence more devout. His powers of OBJ
servation are, as it were, dissolved in
his sense of beauty, and this again is
taken up into his moral idealism and
becomes a part of it. To Chaucer a
beautiful woman is q beautiful creature
Of this good earth, and is often nothing
more her beauty suddenly Stays the
tender heart of her lover, or she makes
glad the spirit OF man as though with
some light, bright wine. She is more
blissful to look upon than "the new
perjonette tree" and softer than the
wether's wool her mouth is sweet as
"apples laid in hay or heath !" her
body is bent and small US any weasel.
For Spenser, behind each woman made
to worship or to love rises sacred
presence-womanho itself. Her
beauty of face and limb is but mani
festation of the invisible beauty, and
this is of one kin with the divine wis
dom and the divine love. In the poet
of Edwards reign gay and familiar
side OF chivalry is presented, which ex-
listed in life and in literature along with
that chivalry which was the mysticism
OF human passion. The more modern
poet retains of chivalry only what is
exalted, serious and tender.-CornhHl

A Magnificent MausOleum.

1t is believed that the monument at
Geneva to the late Duke of Brunswick,
the building of which has been three
years in progress, will be completed
next month. It was directed by the
duke that this monument should be
erected after the plan of the celebrated
La Scala monument at Verona, which
has often been cited by scholars as one
of the few examples of Gothic art in
Italy. It is, however, a much larger
structure, differs in some of the details
and occupies q much more imposing
site. A position has been chosen over
looking the lake and the Alps. The
monument stands on. raised plat
form approached by a noble fight Of
steps which are fanked by two lions
couchant, in red marble. and on each
side of it is o colossal sphinx in repose.
The statues of six ancestors of the duke
have recently been placed around the
sarcophagus as directed in the will.
They are all of white marble. The
sarcophagus itself will be placed in a
small tabernacle of white marble, the
roof Of it being supported by six col
umns of marble from Carrara. Upon
it will be placed full-length statue OF
the late duke with lion couchant at
his feet and winged angel at each
corner, while the sides and ends will be
decorated with has. reliefs representing
scenes in the history of the house of
Brunswick. Above the tabernacle rises
a six-sided gabled pyramid N red
marble. each side having niche in
which is placed the figure of an angel
in white, the gables being sculptured
and surmounted by golden crowns.
From the center of the pyramid springs
pedestal in white with red capitals,
on which will be placed a bronze
equestrian statue of the duke. The
inches of the pedestal will be filled with
statues of the twelve apostles also in
white. The platform which supports
the sarcophsgus as we'll as that which
supports the angels, the architraves,
and the six columns of the first order
forming the base of the monument, are
of red Aberdeen granite. Some Of the
colonettes are in the black marble OF
Belgium. No directions we're given
in the dukes will as to the amount to
be expended on the mausoleum, except
that its cost should be paid from the
millions which he had given to the city
of Geneva. lis believed that the total
expenditures will not exceed $500, 900.
