ten girls at a time are placed under a matron, with

conduct here is satisfactory she is put out ti service

her, The Government requires an annual report
of each girl for three years after her discharge." It
was encouraging to find that out of seventy girls
discharged in the four years ending 180 only one had
been again in prison, and sixty were maintaining them-
selves in respectability. Some were married. "Public
opinion is chaogiug, and were it formerly was extremely
difficult to place our girls out at service, there has now
been for some years a greater demand for them as ser-
vants than we could supply. Again, the nature of
juvenile crime is changed; at the beginning of the re.
forniatory work we frequently had girls who had been
four, live, or even eight times in prison, and thus be-
came hanienrd with punishment. It is now, however,
rare to have a girl sent on even second conviction."

reports, those sketches of war as it in reality is, did they
not excite the public conscience against that system of
murdering us mane, and contribute more efficiently
to make war unpopular than all the special pleading of
philanthropists and all the speeches delivered at Peace
Congresses? But more especially valuable is the press
in the divulging of crime. The intervention of the
press, by calling the attention of a population to a fact,
and informing it day by day and hour by hour of the
slightest circumstance of a crime the repression of
which is matter of public interest, transforms itself
into an auxiliary of justice. At the same time, it
stimulates the zeal of all functionaries and agents com-
missioned to protect the persons and the property of
the public, and makes it for them a point of honour to
capture the criminal, and, in case of their failure, it
calls the attention of the public to the inefficiency of
the judicial machinery and the necessity of improv-
ing it.

THE WAY. TO GET THE RIGHT SIDE
OF " PADDY !"
Some years ago (says the Pall Mall Gazette) in the
immediate neighbourhood of one of Mr. Stuart
Trench's battle-fields, a gentleman had a fancy to try
Lothian farming. He imported a Scotch bailiff,
ploughman, and other Scotch abominations. The
neighbourhood was notoriously Ribbon, and several
murders in the highest style of agrarian art had spotted
the district. The experimental proprietor was, how-
ever, of an " ould stock," free from Cromwell and
other Saxon taint, and he was suffered for a while
to import as much " improvement " as he liked, with
the latent hope that his high farming might prove
ruinous and the alien intruders turn out rogues. But,
months accumulated to years, and these prophecies
were not fulfilled ; so one Primmer day three ominous
signs were cut in the bark of a tree at the gate of
the innovator's demesne. A gun, a coffin, and tres-
tles for it were the warning of the Irish Vehmgericht.
Passers by glanced at it anxiously, but furtively.
There wai constraint in the manner of the labourers.
The Scotchmen talked of their duty to their
families; there was a very pretty case of Rib-
bouism that gained in importance with every hour.
The landlord, not wishing to show off either as
hero Sr martyr, walked down to the tree to judge for
himself of the threat. Many eyes watched his pro-
ceedings, as with a smile he drew out his penknife and
over the Ribbon warning cut in the bark an expressive
figure of a man hanging. The number of neighbours
who took that road during the day was considerable,
" The master's" skill was praised, the master's joke
was appreciated.
If any real injustice had been done, probably the
Ribbon executive would not have been laughed out of
their menace, but as it was nothing MOM was beard of
guns and offing. Paddy presently found ttat good
farming could pay good wage, and forgave the Lothian
teachers.
The incident is slight, but significant. Those who
advocate socialist changes because the chronic clamour
is slightly crescendo sly aild observe that the people are
asking for further definition of the rights of property,
not for any abrogation of them. If the tenant gets
fair leases, no one will be nv ire ardently conservative
than he, or resist more tenaciously the decisions of
Basle. No measure that undermined the extremest
rights of property would long suit the most property-
loving nation in Europe, though for purposes of re-
taliation they ally themselves withtheir natural enemies
the revolutionists.

LAND BUCCESSION.
The special queation in the Jurisprudence and
Amendment of the Law Department was, "What
ought to be the principles regulating the ownership and
occupation of land?" Several papers were contributed.
That by Mr. Serjeant Cox suggested that in cases of
intestacy land sheuld peas as pens malty now passes
under the Statute of Distributions. Having the
power to give it otherwise by his will, if
the owner omits to make a will it may be reasonably
presumed that he has preferred the provision
made by the law. The learned serjeant likewise sug-
gested a remedy for the difficulties attendant upon the
transfer of real property ass ay f rom the power of charging
land with other claims than those of the owner and
occupier. He proposed to give an absolute power to
any person entitled to the possession of real estate as
owner, to discharge it from all incumbrances whatever
at any time on payment of the full value, to be assessed
by direction of the Court of Chancery, into court for
the benefit of the persons entitled, whether present or
prospective, together with all the costs attending the
process; adopting, in fact, for all owners or pur-
chasers the course now pursued with head taken for
railways or public improvements.
HEALTH AND VACCINATION.
Dr. Symonds, in his address as President of the
Health Department, dwelt at some length upon the
necessity for efficient machinery and a greater num-
ber of workers, if hygienic improvements were to be
carried out to any adequate extent. The men em-
ployed must be men accomplished in the sciences
belonging to the department over which he presided,
and also men who had received a thoroughly prac-
tical training. "They must be above the con-
trol, and independent of the appointment of local
b..arfla, for there must be neither favour nor fear in
their relations with local authorities and with local
possessors of property. If they are thought to strain
their power and to encroach too much on public
finances, that is on local rates and taxes, let them be
amenable to censure and restraint from the hands of the
national administration. It is extremely difficult for
locally appointed inspectors and local boards to do
their duty when they have to deal with the dwellings
of the poor. They come into contact with individual
interests, often with the interests of persons powerfully
essential in the locality. But there are avast number
of subjects that would fall under the care and control
of such state officers, who would have no other duties to
perform than those which belong to their special
office." Tic President, after glancing at the represen-
tations that had been made to Her Majesty's Govern-
ment by the joint committee of the Social Science
Association and the British Medical Association for
the appointment of a royal commission to inquire
into the operation .of the laws belonging to State
medicine, which had been so far successful that the
commission had been appointed, though its operations
were limited to the provinces of England, continued
thus : " It cannot be said that the public does not alto-
gether need to be instructed or roused to a sense of
its wants and its dangers when we read in some of
the journals that it is highly doubtful whether vaccina-
tion should be compulsory, and that vaccination is
little better than a fancy or a theory of the medical
profession. It would seem that a senffipanic has been
excited by a report that cases have occurred in which
there was reasm for suspecting that the virus of
disgusting and deteriorating disease had been dif-
fused by vaccination. Even were it admitted
that a constitutional fault, inherited from vicious
parentage, can be communicated through the vaccine
lymph, still all that we have to be anxious about is the
selection of proper sources of the lymph. We do not
leave off eating bread because bread is sometimes
adulterated. And as to the infraction of the liberty of
the subject by compulsory vaccination, it must be
borne in mind that our object in forcing vaccination
upon parents is not so much that their offspring should
be preserved from smallpox as that their children may
not become the contaminators of their neighbours, and
perhaps of the whole community. I have just read a
report of a quiterecent discusaion inthe French Academy
of Medicine of this fear of contamination from cowpox;
and I am glad to say that toe result was enormously
preponderant against the alarmists. And so I trust
that compulsory vaccination will not give an inch to
this foolish and petulant opposition." At its close the
address of the President noted that much confusion
and darkness prevailed in the work which the Depart-
ment of Health undertook ; but there was no reason
to doubt that in all honest scientific inquiries and
strenuous endeavours to act the great forces of nature
would be brought to act on the side of human wants,
and that the seeming hostilities would be limited and
subdued by human will.
Dr. Symonds's address was listened to with great in-
terest, and a cordial vote of thanks was passed, on the
motion of Sir E Strachey, who presided in the absence
of Sir Stafford Northcote.

confined himself in the Syllabus simply to f and mor-

would have been heard of it, but because his Holiness had
pointed out and condemned all those errors in political phi-
wophy Which lay at the root of morals the world had been in
an uproar. Dr. Manning then went through the several
points of the Syllabus, explaining and defending each of
them. "The meaning of modern civilization," he said, "was
a state of political society founded upon divoroe, secuisr
education, intim:, divisions, and contradictions in matters
of religion, and the absolute renunciation of the supreme
authority of the Christian Church. The Pope in the SP, its
had invited those who are wandering from Christian
Mon to what they call modern civilization to return again

Christian unity of faith ahil worship, and C.hristiatt sub-
mission to him who is the pastor of pastors. That n Cie
meaning of the Syllabus.
