A LAWYERS FEE.-Nicholis Longworth, the
celebrated American wine manufacturer and
millionaire, was in his young days lawyer. In
the year 1903, at the age of twenty one he emf.
grated to the then far remote settlement OF
Cincinnati, where he studied with Jacob Bur
nett, one of the ablest lawyers of the northwest,
and where he was in due time admitted to prac
tice.
Mr. Longworth had been in practice but a
short time when he was engaged to defend a
fellow accused of horse stealing; and so well
did he defend him that he got him clear. The
client had no money, but he owned two copper
stills, which he promised to give in case he was
cleared. The gentleman, however, who had
the stills in use refused to give them up. He
acknowledged that he did not own them, but
he could not spare them. But he had propo
sition to make. The stills were rightfully the
property Of Mr.. Longworth.
"Now, see here, Mr.. Longworth, l own g
lot of land, on the Western row, containing
thirty.three acres, I'll give it to you for these
stills"
The young lawyer had faith that Cincinnati
was eventually to become place of import
ance and if it should grow to a city, Western
row OF necessity would be valuable property.
So he took warrantee deed of the thirty three
acre lot, and gave to the distiller bill OF sale
of the stills, and the latter kept on business,
we'll satisfied with his bargain. Nicholas Long
worth lived to see the naked land, as 1t came t
him in lieu of two second hand copper stills
worth more than two millions of dollars l-Neu

On SANcTIFICATON.-The Rev. Theodore
L. Cuyler, a prominent Baptist minister Of
New York, attended the Round Lake camp
meeting, and makes the following illusions in
a newspaper article concerning it: The ma
tional camp meeting is not like the ordinary
sort for the awakening and conversion OF the
impenitent 1t is mainly>an assemblag age Of the
advanced school of perfectionists, who come
together to relate Christian experiences, and
to promote personal holiness Their favorite
theory, viz that ordinary conversion is first
stage, (which they call the justified state) and
beyond it lies second higher state of perfec
ton, is not, in our view, Scriptural one
Some of the arguments used for it in yester
days preaching were crude as half baked loaf
| The new in it was not true, and the true IN II
was not new. Tie whole tendency of this doc
trine is to discourage the humble, and to fos
ter religious sentimentalism and mysticism

England holding her own? and the United
States of America stopping at Canada on one
hand and Mexico on the other?'
We think we can answer the latter portion
OF the query. The United States will not stop
at Canala, but before the time expires, Canada
itself will have become, by its own act, part
Of the United States, and perhaps Mexico may
also have decided to become portion of the
bounded continent" Cuba will, long before
that, have become either State by ITSELF OF
one Of the United States, most probably the
latter, and it will really make little difference
to us who sit on the thrones of Europe"

supply ! And then how reasonable that he
should "dttOU himself UeIy small profit :" at
least for all his labor and expense; a profit that
must be gerry small indeed, since aoe kaoto that
he has offered druggists a commission of one
hundred per cent. for retailing the remedy! We
are only left To conjecture how Uery small his
profit must be when hiS-patients allow him
to supply the medicine, and he is thus enabled
t save the heavy commission. -.
But the advertiser is a "Reverend," and
Methodists at least will be interested to learn
that he claims to belong to their church! He
tells his experience in his circular, and thus
we learn that he commenced his ministerial
labors in the spring of lS49 'as pastor of
small Methodist Episcopal congregation" in
New Haven, ct. Il la6ored, +" he says, "for
six years on the different circuits of the New
England Conference, when, In the fall of 1855,
my health began to fail and | was reluctantly
compelled to suspend my labors in the pulpit. "
He is the author of 1.-The Pastors Gift to the
Young Convert" an illustrated octave of 624
pages, written, we are told in his leisure
moments, and perhaps containing an eloquent
chapter on Speaking the Truth" This work
he offers to his friends ''at publishers prices
and urges them to buy it because " he is now
doing local duty aolttOut pay and depends in
part upon the profits on its sale for his sup
port. This language distinctly implies that
during his active ministry he was member of
the New England Conference, and now holds a
supernumerary relation, or else obtained an
honorable location" The Secretary of that

l have now sufficiently exposed what appear,
to be one of the boldest and most successful
! swindling operations of the day. For more
than ten years his stereotyped advertisement
has been before the public, and druggists frou
Maine to Texas have been annoyed with hi
prescription. In all probability he has by thi
time amassed large fortune. That his bust
ness is profitable one mast be inferred from
the extent of his operations, the large commits
sions he has offered to druggists, and the fac
that Blodgetti is an absolute monopoly, in hi

The Perilous Positions in which exhibitors
on the tight-rope and other sensation perform
ers voluntarily place themselves are frequently
parelleled by occurrences in real life. Thus,
recently in Glasgow, man known as "Steeple
Jack, " who earns his living by repairing stee-
pies and other high edifces, inaccessible by
stairs, assembled to the top OF chimney, 18O
feet high, having first established communica-
| ton by means of kite and string, and then
used light ladder and slender chain This
apparatus he discovered would not bear his
weight in descending, and he was obliged
to remain there for an hour and half al
this great height while the heat ascending from
the fires below was subjecting him to slow tor.
| ture AT last he was rescued, stronger chain
having been attached to the weak one, and
drawn rp by the daring workmen. The situa.
ton required the exercise of great presence o
mind. AS an instance of female ingenuity il
| times of peril, asimilar occurrence is mention
ed which took place in Manchester, where
1 bricklayer, on the top Of 3 high chimney, le
fall the rope by which he had assembled Tn,
mans wife, however, was a brave and read,
4 witted woman, and having been summoned Il
the spot, screamed to her husband to take of
his stocking, one of her own knitting, to unrave
it, tie small piece of brick to the end and le
it down to the ground. A strong cord wa
/ then attached to the worsted thread and com
munication was re established.
