The Highland Chief.

There is touching fact related in
history Of Highland chief, of the noble
house of McGregor, who fell wounded by
two balls, at the battle Of Prestonban.
Seeing their chief fall, the clan wavered,
and gave the enemy an advantage. The
old chieftan, beholding the effects of his
disaster, raised himself up on his elbow,
while the blood gushed in streams from
his wounds, and cried aloud, ~ am not
dead, my children / am looking at you
to see you do your duty" These words
revived the courage Of the brave High
landers There was charm in fact,
that they still fought under the eye of
their mightiest energies, and they did all
that human strength could do to turn
and stem the dreadful tide of battle.

A BOOK ABOUT LAWYERS.
Curious Stories-Judicial Blunders
in England, Llt

Mr.. Jeaffreson, who wrote, three or
four years ago, a successful book about
doctors, has just published another in the
same vein, called "A Book About Law
yers. The first ten chapters, covering
seventy pages, are grouped under the
head Of 'The Great Seal. Other sets
Of chapters gossip about Lawyers on
Horseback" Loves of the Lawyers" I"
Costume and Toilet" Amateur The
atricals," "Mirth," etc. Mr.. Jeaffreson,
says the London Examiner, has brought
together the results of much out of the
way reading, including some things not
generally known, and a good many an.
ecdotes which, if they have been told
before, are too good for any one to mind
hearing them again. Ore of the best
anecdotes in the first volume is the old
story of Wilkes and Thurlow.
Like his friend, John Scott, Thurlow
could shed tears and be wondrous pa
thetic whenever tears could aid his elo-
quence. After dexterously coquetting
between the queens and the prince S
parties in 1888, he delivered in the
House of Lords his memorable declara-
tlOU Vi HTdtlluut lU anu uucCtlOu iOf tuc
afflicted king Having broken his har-
rangue with several distinct fits of nerv-
Gus agitation, and at one point having
wept copiously, he resumed the clearest
melody of his sonorous voice, and con-
cluded with these words: "a noble
viscount has in an eloquent and ener-
getic manner, expressed his feelings on
the present melancholy situation Of his
Majesty-fselings rendered more poig-
nant from the noble viscounts having
been in the habit of personally receiving
marks of indulgence and kindness from
his suffering sovereign. My own sorrow,
my lords, is aggravated by the same
cause. My debt of gratitude is indeed
ample for the many favors which have
been graciously conferred upon me by
his Majesty; and when forget my SOW
ereign may God forget me /" AS Thur
low sat down the sensation among his
brother peers was profound; but Liberty
Wilkes, who had been an auditor of the
speech, was less deeply affected. A vi
cious light burned brightly in his squint-
ing eyes, and as a more than usually di-
abolical sneer played on his hideous face,
the peoples friend Kissed out God
forget youl He'll see you = first. "
