The EXPERIENCES OF BARRIsrER IL
the title Of a book lately published by
Mcssrs Cornish, Lamport IL CO., s Park
Place, New York, which has passed to
the iiith edition in about three weeks
The experience OF any intelligent and
highly educated person professionally
connected with the criminal courts Of
civilized community, is always deeply
though sadly interesting; and none could
be more 81 than that OF a Barrstcr prac
tising in the Circuit Courts OF England,
Fruitful as she has been in everything
profound both in exact science and. the
ology-in everything practical and use
ful-in every department Of the bcaui-
ful, she has not been least SO in the rec
ords of her criminal calender How Ct :
oqucn,ly has this been told in the pages
OF Chas. Dickens. Illuminating and re
vcaling the terrible records Of Newgntr

pen; how has he often thrilled the whole
heart of humanity and quickc; ed it 10 "A
sympathetic glow and action and how
well 1t has been done by Samuel War
rem IN these brief tales, is apparent by
their great popularity. Upon their first
appearance in the magazines of Edin-
burg they were eagerly sought for by
the Intelligent OF all classes, bearing as
they did upon the face Of them the un-
mistakablc impress OF master hand
the genius that knows how to reach the
silent depths OF feeling in the human
heart. To every man who may be iia-
bic 10 sit upon jury, what solemn les
sons will these chapters convey. Let
him read the story Of the Northern
Circuit and learn like the author never
TO come TO hasty conclusions. Let him
read the "Mothcr and her Son"-the
"Sccond Marriage" "Circums,antial
Evidence" and learn what an awl'l
thing ills to sit in judgmen, upon the
life OF another when circumstantial evil
dence is the basis of opinion.
That truth is stranger than fiction
will not be doubted in reading this real
ly thrilling experience. That they will
have the influence which the author in
tended they should have, can hardly be
doubted. They arc calculated to do
great good both from the substantial
facts upon which they are grounded and
from the lclicitous and graphic style in
which they arc written. Tie unvar-
nshcd tale itself would reach the heart,
and move it, but clothed in the language
OF master, it will doubly act upon it.

OUR NATIONAL DEFENSES.

Nara! depots, 3c.
We closed our last having the gener-
al impression that early, wise and eff
cacious means have been taken TO pro-
vide for armRg our National Militia
and that we have only TO pursue this
policy, with proper attention TO the de-
tails Of the system, to ensure the posses
sion Of arms enough to meet any future
emergency requiring them.
As TO the organization of the Militia,
Congress has done nothing etiectua..-
State organizations, more or less imper-
feet, exist in most Of the States but
these militia systems deriving their life
from the martial spirit engendered by
our national struggles, and indian bor-
der warfare, have long been declining
in vigor, and, in the older settled States
generally, are felt to be an intolerable
burden or, have pretty nearly ceased TO
be felt at all.
Indeed were it not that the States re-
ceivo their quotas Of arms and eqipments
from the national ArmoTies in proper
ton TO the number of their enrolled mi
Itia and that il furnishes cheap means
for Il few ambitious men. in ach dis
trict, to acquire military titles for elec-
,ioneering and travelling purposes, |
fear excepting in few States the very
name Of militia would have long since
pcrished from the minds Of our peo-
pie.
The national militia, the constitution
al reliance for enforcing tie execution
Of the laws suppressing "insurreclion"
and rcpellng INVASION" is now not in
a condition calculated TO inspire conf
dence in its availability to meet sudden
emergencies while It's prospect Tor the
future is less promising than even it's
present condition.
Unless some decided measures are ta-
ken and sanctioned by strong public
opinion, this great means Of national de-
iensc will soon become, Tor want Of or
ganization, unavailable, md the nrms
provided for them at so much est will
be allowed to rust in the repositories of
the States, or fall into the hands Of vol
un,eer forces the evils Of whose self
training to the habits of the young, as
well AS their greater distance from the
control of the government, and their LA
bili,y to political partizanship, arc Ges-

MORALITY VS.. MAINE LAw.-The ei-
feet Of total abstinence from liquor, upon
the morals, enterprise, and civilization
Of mankind, is illustrated by the Dut' h.
man, in the cxaml lc Of the Turkish ma
tion

has been so for 1900 years, and yet Tur
key is no more blessed with good NOR
ais and abundance than we are. The
sobcrcst man in the empirc-the very
head Of the cold water chuI ch-kecps
over three hundred wives, and over 400
concubines Since the sixth century.
Turkey has been governed by men who
looked upon wine as an abominatlon-a
purple food on which deluded souls
drift to utter darkness and yet, not
wlthstanding all this, Turkey is amongst
the worst governed and least productive
empires in the world. In the whole
country there is not a post office, stage
coach, printing Office, or street lamp,
Nothing in fact, bu, total abstinence and

respondent Of the Albany Evening Jour-
nal writes thus -
Rome, per Sc, is apparently less an,
clent in It's aspects than many cities of
the Continent less SO, even than York,
Durham, Salisbury, Chester, &c, IN
England. Throughout Rome, as il
stands, TO the eye OF stranger, the
Modern predominates over the Ancient.
AT first you see every body and every
thing looking and acting just MS every
thing and every body looks and acts else
where. Indeed, some o. its Antiquities
lack the features that usually mark the
progress of time. ST. Peters. though
erected before America was discovered, :,
looks brighter than ST. Paul's Church,
in Broadway. In the first view OF
Rome, therefore, there is disappoint-
ment. DlcKENs, who experienced it,
says, alter his first view Of the City, that
''it was not the Rome he expected to
find, degraded and fallen. and lying
asleep in the Sun among heap ofruins;
and | confess 10 have gone to bed that
night with very considerable quench-
ed enthusiasm"
But these are first impressions only.
They soon fade away and the Rome
that was rs soon comes up in It's great
ness aud grandeur TO fill and impress
both the eye and the mi I'd. You have
only to ascend the Pincian, the Capito-
line or the Quirinal Hills and look off
upon the Coliseum, the Palace Of the
CAESARS, the Castle Of st. Angelo, the
Baths Of Caracala, the Pantheon, the
Forum, &C., 10 catch something of the
