 reference in pending court proceedings, although the city journals and many coun- try ones constantly do interfere and make rather fair justifcations for their course but now and then a peculiarity in this regard appears which seems to demand notice, and one such lately occurred in Tucson.

 One J. Cahill was juror during the late session of court, and sat on the jury in certain case wherein judgment was found against citizen of Tucson for in jury to another person. We have the most positive assertions of those in a position to know, that he did agree to the finding of the jury in said case as an- nounced in his presence in open court, and yet on Wednesday of this week, he made oath before notary public that he did not so agree.

 Admitting for the sake of argument that Cahill did not agree to the verdict, he is guilty of an act, if not a crime it ought to be, and for which he should be severely punished. If a juror will sit with his mouth closed and hear and permit yer dict to be announced in open court to which he dId not agree, without dissent then and there, and a number of days afterward make affidavit that he did not agree to the verdict, he ought to be made to keenly feel the consequences of his hn 6 fendant deemed it unnecessary to poll the jury in open court, thereby apparently accepting the unanimity of the jury in the verdict as announced. Cahill did not open his mouth in objection to it as his own verdict. The jury was discharged and Cahill became an ordinary citizen, and several days afterwards swore he did not agree to said verdict. If such an oath can be made to materially affect the judg- ment in this case, it may in any other, and trials by jury be rendered a costly farce to the public and individuals also But from a mere item, this subject has led us lnto almost an argument. It is very important subject, and we may say more on it. The conduct of Cahill is very rep- rehensible, and we speak entirely with out reference to the merits of the case in point, but in a general sense, in which every good clLlZen mas UT SHOUlu nave a keen interest. The more the subject of CahilPs conduct is considered, the worse it appears He may be a fool, and it is great charity to suppose that this is his true character in the case under consider ation.

 After the above was put in type, Cahiil was arrested, examined and discharged by Justice Neugass, and on Thursday was agaln arrested and examined on a charge of perjury before Justice Meyers. On this examination the eleven jurors who sat on the case with Cahill testified posi- lively that he did assent to the verdict and the district court record shows the same fact. It is therefore reasonable to believe that Cahill is one liar and the other eleven men truthful This being the view that Justice Meyers took, he ordered him unGer $500 bonds to answer to the next grand jury for perjury, and in default went to jail The D. isoner was yesterday taken before Chief Justice Dunne on a writ of habeas corpus, and discharged from custody. It may be all mistak that the law Is designed for the punishment of wrong doing.

DENIAL OF THE STORY THAT FLOOD o'BRIEN


HAVE BOUGHT THE REFINING WORKS.


SAN Francisco, Sept 16 1875.


The statement mado yesterday that the assaying and
refining works had been transferred to Flood oBrien
proves to have been premature although the California
Bank people state that the bargain will doubt be
consummated at an early day.


Reports circulated on the street last evening
that the Bank OF California would reopen the 9th
inst Inquiry the Office of the directors this morning
fails to confirm the rumor the fact being that no day
has yet been decided upon though II is intimated
heretofore stated in Associated Press dispatches that
the resumption is probable about the lst prox Con-
siderable anxiety to the prospects for resumption
has caused by unauthorized statements published
time to time, giving positively early date for
the reopening Such statements are, to great extent
mere deductions from street talk, and consequently
unreliable The directors report nothing this
morning the affairs of the bank. Everything is
progressing slowly, but avorably toward resumption
which will take place soon the necessary arrange
ments are completed

Life has great troubles in store for
all of us; and few live to be men and
women without knowing terrible
grief But, fortunately, these intense
moments cannot FIJI all the years.
Time helps us to forget at least, the
sorest of the pain. To every one
would come some JOY but for the lit
tie worries that happen with the
passing hours-cares about money
and the cost of things, small quar-
rcls, petty jealousics, false shame,
and an awful dread of what "they''
will think If We take a little com
fort, and dress and eat to suit our
selves, and know people We like
whether they are "gentcel" or not,
and say what We mean, instead OF
what is expected.


Worries eat the life away. They
gnaw and bite wrinklesint the face,
and bring gray hairs on the head,
and half the time they are not only
absolutely needless butabsurd. Why
in the name of all that is sensible,
can We not wait until the draught Of
sorrow is forced to our lips, and moi
