One day this week I made the as tounding discovery that iu o«:der to be eligible to jury duty it is uot necessary that live {Tarty summoned ou a panel should bo 21 years of age. The uamc of my son. who is not J20 years of ago, was given in a list of young nreu, in tho house where ho is employed, aup- n<y»ed to be eligible for jurf^luty. When 1 went to see Judge Withrow on tho boy’s behalf, I stated tbe fact of his minority, but the judge said that made no difference; that if he was but 9 years of ago and possessed of the reauisito intelligence be would bo obliged to serve, aud that failure to appear would lay him liable to attach ment and fine.
