A COPPER MINE.-The Lake Superior
Journal gives description of the Bruce mine
in that region, from which is produced copper
ore differing from that which is yielded by 9th.
er mines in that peninsula. Eight years ago
this mine was opened, and large sums were
expended for machinery, which proved useless,
but it is now under new arrangement and prom
ises to yield proftably. Twelve shafts have
been opened, one of which has been carried
down some $50 feet. Some 200 men are en-
ployed, from all the European mines. Some
of the ores are very beautiful to the eye, resem-
bling fine gold. After being taken out of the
shaft, they are borne upon rail track to the
crushing house, where they are passed between
large iron rollers, and sfted till only fine pow
der remains; from thence to the 'jigger works, .
where they are shaken in water till much of the
earthly matter is washed away, after which it is
piled in the yard ready for shipment, having
more the appearance Of mud than copper. 1t
is now shipped to Swansea, in Wales, for smelt-
ing. Last year 1900 tons were shipped to
Baltimore and Buffalo, to be smelted. aa92'o

LADY LAWYERS.

The memory OF man runneth not TO the con-
trary when the gentler sex had not 'cases" to
manage, and plenty of them, too. In the Court
of Love, women have always been unwearied
and successful practitioners. Though delicacy
and etiquette seldom allowed them to commence
suit, yet they were invariably the first to "draw
the declaration" to use the old common law
term, and put in such plea as seemed to them
good. In the process known as Habeas Corpus
they were especially skilled, taking captive
many poor prisoner and retaining him in life
long bondage, not usually, however, without
giving him "bene6t of Clergy" They had
much to do, also with Assumpsit, and Covenant
in which the promise was not always in writing,
nor the seal impressed upon parchment. In
this Court, with Cupid for Judge, the lady
lawyers Of o.den times had full sway, nor did
their professional ambition ever lead them to
enter any other than their own appropriate TO-
rum.
But in these latter days the scene is chang
ing. Not content with being the acknowledge
ed rulers Of Cupid's Court, they are desirous of
a professional introduction to John Doe and
Richard Roe. Already some Of the fair plead
ers have entered within the vale. The Balti-
more Sun reports that Mrs. Emma R. Coc,
(the very name has legal ring,) lately COM
menced the study Of the law in the Office Of
w. S. Pierce, Esq, in that city. 1t is expect
ed that others will soon follow her example and
fit themselves for practice in our Courts.
Whatever others may think of this new
movement, we are not sure but that practically
the effect will be good. Coarseness and vul-
garity nowt too frequently characterize the pro-
ceedings in our Courts Of Justice. Lawyers
need some restraint upon their too apt tenden-
cyto forget the words of truth and soberness,
and what is more persuasive one than the
presence of gentle womana And then the
clients! Who would not go to law when he
could have tender heart to sympathise with
his wrongs and fair lip to plead his cause?-
Think Of the consultations and private confabs,
incident to the preliminary proceeding in a
cause, and above ALL the trial, when you would
be allowed and expected 10 sit very close to
your fair advocate, so that your adversary
might not hear your whispered communications.
What thrill would pass through your bosom
when the waving curls fell about you, as the
beautiful head was bent to listen to your words?
Besides, what jury could help giving You JUS
tice when asked to do so by a feminine tongue!
You would be sure Of your case, and your
lawyer sure Of her fees. For it would be no.
thing but pleasure to drop the "yellow boys
into so fair hand, and perhaps receive one Of
the aforesaid "curls' asa receipt in full. Yes,
let women be lawyers if they will. Humanity
at large needs refining and softening and those
women who are weary or incapable of carrying
on the process at home, may be safely permit-
ted to change the venue to a different locality.
