believe that something is at last to be done
with this case of Davis, and that, whether
convicted acquitted, released, or paroled he
will not much louger remain in prison. He

A Lively Scene IN Court.


The English Chief Justice of the Hong-Hon
Supreme Court and the leader Of the bar Mr..
Pollard, Q. c., do not get on we'll together A
case was recently broken off by the action OF the
Justice in requiring apology from the bar
rister, which the latter would not give. Two
days afterwards another "scene" took place,
and the Chief Justice pronounced Mr.. Pollard
guilty of grave contempt OF Court, fined him
Two hundred dollars, and suspended him from
practice for q fortnight, or until the fine was
paid. The Judge read his decision from
manuscript, occasionally interrupting the thread
OF his argument TO remark upon The deport-
ment of the offending counsel. Once Mr.. Pol
lard smiled, on which the Chief Justice re
marked, This is very amusing, Mr.. Pollard,
but it is law.n Shortly afterwards he suddenly
exclaimed, Il am astonished at your staring,
Mr.. Pollard.p "It was q stare of astonishment
my lord,p remarked the learned counsel.
Stare on, Mr.. Pollard" said the Chiet Justice;
this is subject for staring"
AT another passage IN his address the Judge
paused, and, looking at the contumacious bar
Iister, said emphatically, ''Mr. Pollard, your
eyes are opened very widen "And with cau.e
my lord,n replied MIR. Pollard. His lordship
pronounced Mr.. Pollard TO have been guilty of
six coutempts, which consisted briefly of one
"pointed aud curt an swer," with an apparent
Justice; two tones and manners" with Infer
ences - one "imputation, the converse of what
had occurTed;p one ayowal of desire not to be
t'aggressiye;n and one "tonen ''inierringn that
Mr.. Pollard had more respect for the bench
1. e., for the wooden chair-thap he had for its
occupant.
the Judge declined to hear him, and advised
him TO appeal to the Priyy Council, or to bring
the matter before the Benchers OF the Inn OF
Court OF which he was member.

A VISIT to the Artist KauIbach.

Dr. Bellows writes from Munich TO the Liberal
CHRISTIAN of New York;
~ had long had the greatest admiration lor
the genius OF Kaulbach, as exhibited in his Illus
tIatons of German poetry, mythology, and MS
tory. To the penetratiVe intelligence and SPIRIT
uality which mark German art he seemed to ada
a grace and elegance comm only wanting IN IT.
His great afiiueDce and facility have not made
him careless, and everything from his pencil Is
delicate, refined, aud exquisite, without lacking
dignity and force. He seems TO possess most
tender appreciation OF childhood and woman
hood, and no modern artist, to my eye, throws
such grace aud elegance about the human figure.
II was like meeting an old friend to see the great
artist in his studio. His manly form Is robust
and erect the bloom of health Is in his check,
gentleness and power in his eye, ease and grace
in his manners, and all softened by seventy years
of an existence which can have had few idle
hours He sat, as we entered, before his easel,
at work upon the drawing of the loves OF two
characters in one of the very old German Min
nesineers. The youth and sentiment OF tue
picture suggested the power which genius pos
sesses OF carrying its own youth with II INTO
EXTREMIST age; and Kaulbach Is really as young
as ever in feeling and in the nature ana hand
ling of his subjects. He showed us several OF
his more recent pictures, and especially one
elegant portrait of a Copenhagen merchant,
. full of power and beauty. He talks with iree-
dom and charming insight about America,
which interested him, as 1t does most Germans,
who seem the only people capable OF looking at
countries with reference to the Ideas they
stand for, and their relations to human progress.
He bade us not to expect period OF art III
America until we had got further through with
the great and heroic period which gives ART
its inspiration and its subjects. He thought the
late American war would in some future time be
prolific source of artistic ideas and themes
but artistic eras come--they cannot be made

Miss Rye has just sent out from England an

IsAAo.-Your article on frogs is good, but
not exactly in our line. Your idea that frogs
grow more bob-taled as they advance in
years is admitted by the most distinguished
naturalists. You are wrong, however, in at
tr buting the discovery of frogs to Christopher
Columbus in 1929, Professor Pumpkin, in
his Pursuit Of Nonsense under Difficulties, "
as erts that they migrated to this country
When compelled by st. Patrick to skedadde
fr I'M Ireland, in the fifth century. Consult
Pumpkin.
AsTRoNoMER.-Th reason that cats climb to
the roof is, that they want to lay hold of the
Milky Way.
MEDIcUs.-It was Abernethy who gave the
prescription to which you allude. An Irish
man called upon the doctor in haste, exclaim-
ing:-"Be jabers, doother, me boy Tim has
swall'd mouse ~ "Then, be jabers," said
Abernethy, "tell your boy to swallow cal"

compel the Court to declare the laws, at present

any pertinent or final decision. We cannot be-

Our columns last week contained the intclli-
gcnce that the States Of Mississippi and Ala
bama had taken steps to test the legality of the
Military monstrosity of the late Congress, and
that Bill had been filed to cnjoin the Prcsi-
dent against its execution Georgia, the tcle-
graph this week informs us, has taken her posi-
tion rs n contestant beside her two sister States
We wish we could add the name of our Mother
State, to the Roll of I1onor--but alas her
Governor dcprccatcs any opposition to the
power of Congress; he is thoroughly commit
ted to n submissive policy, and his only ambi-
tion for the State is that her people may at
once harmonizc with Radcalsnl, and accept
with complaccncy her political scrflom.
The question now before the great judicial
tribunal of the Country is the most momcntous
of any that have been presented to it since it's
organization. 1t demands solution of the
great problems which have grown out of the
war, and to which fanatical and vindictivc
Congress, swaycd by passion, not by sober rea-
son, have given not only an ungcncrons but an
