A Female Lawyer.

Mrs. Bell A. Mansfield, lately admitted
to the bar in Iowa, is a young lady oi
twenty-four, and graduate of Iowa
Wesleyan University. Her husband,
Prof. j. M. Mansfield, was admitted al
the same time. The committee of law.
yers appointed to examine Mrs. Mans
held say in their report;
"She has passed most sminently sat-
isfactory examination, given the very
best evidence OF long and careful study,
Of excellent application and thorough
acquaintance with the elementary prin-
eiples Of Law. Your committee take un-
usual pleasure in recommending the ad-
mission Of Mrs, Mansfield, not only
because she is the first lady that has thus
applied for this authority in the State, but
because, in her examination, she has
given the very best rebuks possible
to the imputation that ladies cannot
qualify themselves for the practice
Of Law. And We feel confident,
from the intimation Of the court given
on the application made, that we sneak
not only the sentiments Of the court and
of your committee, but the entire mem.
bers Of the bar, when we say tAat ne
heartily welcome Mrs, Mansfield as one
Of our members, and most cordially
recommend her admission" nsf

money-at least the young lawyer
thought so as he figured up how many
briefs he must have to make that
amount.
The result of his deliberations was the
conclusion that if he waited to make this
sum at the bar he could do so, but by the
time he had done it, he would be so old
that the romance of love would be all
gone. For long ten days the young
lawyer bemoaned his fate, and then, after
obtaining promise from the young lady
that she would wait, he disappeared from
New York In early life the young
lawyer had quick wit, and one day meet
ing negro minstrel manager, named
Duprez, the latter told him he had talent
which would make $500 in Eve years.
In the young lawyers frame of mind it
did not take long to convince him, and
dropping Coke and Blackstone he took
to burnt cork, under the assumed name
of Lew Benedict.
For time the new business was harder
than the young lawyer bargained for, bat
he made money 80 fast that his preju-
dice was soon overcome. At the end OF
the first year he had laid up FIVE thousand
dollars, at the end of the second year ten
thousand dollars, and now it is said that
he has nearly reached his figure of fifty
thousand dollars in bonds.
All the time he has been in the burnt
cork trade he has improved his spare
moments by q study of law books, and in
another year he will 60 back to New
York with fifty thousand dollars in his
pocket. claim the hand of her he SO fondly
loves, and who has been so devoted to
him, and at the same time embark in the
practice of law.

These scenes of the triumphs of Theresa,
the Bossu de Paris, and other msgnates
of lesser fame, reap golden harvests dur
ing the summer months, and at times

talent. The various village .tetes and

throughout the summer, attract thou
sands from Paris, anxious to enjoy rural
festivities. The environs of Paris are
picturesque in the extreme. st. German,

portunity for the innocent enjoyment of
the summer season.

Dog Fighting.

All other sensations having had thei

The dogs were called Simon and Butcher
and the account says:

muscle rigid, with jaws closing, he Tough

For the first seven minutes he had thu
best of the bargain, and bis admirers, like
demons, shouted accordingly. The
trainers stood each behind his dog, snap
ping their fingers for the animals to keep
their hold, stamping and crying, "Ah
babe" to make them fight harder; en-
couraging, advising, assisting them by
words, gesture and tanning, but refrain
to touch them even with the tips of their
fingers. In nine minutes Simon had
"chawed the left ear, under lip and
left shoulder of Butcher frightfully, so
that his previous spotless skin was GRIM
son with his own gore. But Butcher was
true to his name. he rose upon his hind
feet and wrestled and tripped like cham

out his life by continued humping upon
the hard floor. Now each would ALLOW q

grasps; now Simon would throw his op.
ponent to weaken him, and then tried to
bore his sharp teeth into Butcher heart;
but the latter would always rally, and
prevented it. Simon fought quick, light
ning-like, but Butcher was veteran
in the business, and he suffered greatly
to secure a good grip. At last be got

the third scratch Simon would not cross
the pit, and he was declared to be "a
cur" and lost the fight. The victorious

his trainer through and through the nose
