Judah p. Benjamin at the Bar.

Yesterday evening the benchers of
the Honorable Society of Lincoln 5
Inn called to bar no less than twenty
nine candidates for forensic hoRors.
Among these was Mr.. Judah Philip
Benjamin, of the late Confederate
States, so-caIled, of America. A mum
Der of the members of the English bar
regard the circumstances connected
with the call of Mr. Benjamin with feel
ings of the strongest disapprobation
Mr.. Benjamin has had nearly the whole
of his terms RENTED by the benchers
of the Inn, and is by his unreasonable
call, although a noyoas homo in his
profession, made TO lead, rs it Is ex-
pressed-that is, to enjoy pre- audience
over distinguished members of our
universities, who have been keeping
their terms for years. Why this has
been done, the public must he left to
Judge. What peculiar claim Mr.. Ben
jamin can have upon the benches of
Mr.. Lincoln's Inn it would be difficult
to ascertain.
Mr. Judah p Benjamin was publish
ed as a barrister in the usual form by
Sir Edward Ryan, and the presence
of the gentleman who was so lately in
rebellion against the lawful Govern
ment of the United States excited a
good deal of emotion and curiosity
Vice Chancellor Sir w Page Wood
was present at the ceremony After
his call, Mr., Benjamin dined Mt the
students table, and at the close of the
dinner-the new made barristers being
called up by name to the bar table in or
der to take desert in the private room
of the benchers-upon the name of
Mr.. Benjamin being called there was
considerable applause, not, however,
unmingled with very distinct Kisses.
1t is a somewhat singular circumstance
that Immediately preceding Mr. Ben
iamin was a dark skinned gentleman
from the East Indies, who will be the
late Confederate senior. Some of
the applause was intended for this gen
tleman. Mr. Benjamin is a short,
thick set man, verging towards mid
die age. The oath of supremacy and
abjuration was taken by him with the
utmost nonchalance = London Star,

of one leg. As soon as be entered the
breakfast room, bowling and smiling to

him, her little servant girl gazed upon
the legs, one all symmetry, the other
as Jagged as forked lightning, and ex-
claimed in true niger STYLE" LORD,

adieu." he Joined the church, and was
recommended for class-leader; as to
how he lost that high place, this depo-
nent deems it prudent not to say.
As we have said, the eccentric gentleman
sat in the same box with old Ben, and
like others was deeply affected by the
thrilling incidents of the play. Nlr-
ginius stood before the tyrant, APP
plus Claudius, claiming his child-cha-
fing as only noble Roman soldier
could. his whole frame throbbing with
an agony known only to the partenal
heart in such trial, At last after all
sorts of subterfuges and under serious
apprehensions of violence from the
people, the tyrant advises Caius Clau
dius (his tool) to ''yield something of
his rights, and let the girl remain at
liberty" The audience, in the inten-
sity of the interest and excitement Of
the scene, leaned forward GREATNESS,
and eagerly listening, for the play de
lineates one of the most terrible trag-
edies that history records, dating as
far back as five hundred years before
the Christian era, and so shocking that
it aroused the populace of Rome to
fury. and the Decemvirs were over
thrown Caius Claudius replies-''If
they produce security for her appear
ance | am content" Just at that mo
ment considerable commOtion was OBJ
servable in the centre box, and the tall
figure Of our eccentric lawyer friend
was seen to rise-tears wer glistening in
crystal drops in his eyes, and trick
ling down that Notwithstanding his
arm toward the stage, he exclaimed in
a voice as loud as several thunders =
Il say, Mister Virginius, hold on thar
don't be distressed, Ben Humphreys
is here-he'll go the gals security"
The house came down with the most
uproarious and ungovernable applause
the actors were perplexed.not know
ing the cause-and our legal friend
realizing for the first time what he had
done, under the excitement of the mo-
ment, became so confused that he in
stinctively turned to the gentleman in
the next box and begged 'chaw.

FLATULENcY.-The most common
cause of this difficulty is indigestion When
the natural finds of the stomach are secreted
in an unhealthy state, fermentation rapidly
takes place and the stomach and associated
viscera become distended with gas, giving
rise to frequent eructation or belching. The
quantity of gas thus accumulated is often
enormous. The treatment for this disorder
should be careful diet, healthy, well-cOoked
animal food, and use Roback's Bitters and
Blood Pills the same as for dyspepsia
