The Supreme Court.

As ,aight Be expected. the Second Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court has been making
himself ridiculous,-a very laughing stock. The
case of Thomas Hazlin vs.. Henry Mcdonald, in
admiralty, reported in another column, has been
before Judge Widemann for some days past.
Both parties to the suit belong to the American
ship Lorenzo. Hazlin, 4 foremost hand, sues the
mate for damages, for injuries received at his
hands while on board that ship in this harbor in
May last.
On Monday last Mr.. Z. H.. Stanley, for the
respondent, filed n plea to the jurisdiction, and
the next day was set to hear argument on the
plea. When the court opened, the proctor for
the libellant fled a motion that the court do not
entertain the plea of the respondent. Mr.. Stanley
then addressed the court on the motion, after
which libellant's proctor followed in reply. The
arguments of counsel, on the motion, evidently
confused the Judge, and losing sight of every
other fact executing the plea, which had been
filed and upon argument was to be heard, and
which he came upon the Bench prepared to
answer, and, being wholly unprepared for the
motion OF Mr.. Jones, the would-be Daniel COM
mcnccd to read, from notes, the opinion Of the
court in regard to the plea to the Jurisdiction,
before the plea had been argued upon and before
Judgment had been made upon n motion then
before the court. What would be thought Of
this in any other community? and we may also
ask what IL to be thought of 1t in this community?
Argument from counsel was yet to be heard on
the plea, and the presiding Judge brings in the
opinion of the court, ready written, probably pre-
pared by his friend the Minister of Finance, also
n practitioner before the court, who was present
during the trial, evidently to assist his pupil, and
was apparently chagrined at the turn affairs had
taken. Counsel for respondent very properly OBJ
jccted to the decision Of the court, as he had not
been heard, and now comes the crowning act Of
the Judge. Evidently amazed mt the dilemma
he was in, he cooIly tells Mr.. Stanley that he
could Be heard further, and the COURT could listen.
Could anything be more ridiculous? The court
had girea ais decision, and was now willing to
listen to arguments Of counsel
There is, however, a serious side to this matter,
and one which demands the thoughtful attention
of every citizen in the Kingdom. AS we have
before stated, Mr.. Widemann was placed upon
the bench through the efforts Of the Minister OF
Finance, and is to-day nothing but an automaton,
whose movements will be governed by wires held
in the hands of n party who is at once Minister
Of Finance, lawyer, planter, and if report is true,
broker and note shaver. What shall be thought
OF one who would thus sacrifice public interests
to gain his own ends or those of parties who may
be pleased to retain him3

The FILLING OF THE SUEz CANAL--The London
Times has received advices from Suez describing
the cutting of the dyke to admit the water of the
Red aea into the dry canal, which extends as far
as Chalouf. The party proceeded in steam
launches from Suez, and after some slight om-
cal ceremonies the dyke was cut, but to fill this
section flow during six or seven days viii be
required. When it shall have been filled the
water will be let into the Bitter lakes, and :hen,
it is said, the waters of the Red sea and the
Mediterranean will for the first time actually
mingle. With regard to the Bitter lakes, there
seems to be no doubt they are FIVE metres below
the level of the Mediterranean, and at the present
time, with the stream flowing from that side, the
rise is not more than three centimetres Gay.
But the flow from the Red sea is expected to be
stronger than that from lake Timsah, and it is
accordingly calculated that on its waters being
admitted, the rise will for some time be at more
than double its present rate still, taking all
things into account, it is thought that one
hundred days may be required and, looking at
the works to be finished from Serapeum to lake
Simsah, an opinion is expressed that the COM
plete opening with as much as eight metres OF
depth throughout can scarcely be hoped for by
the 18th of December, the appointed day.

The LOVE OF THE BEAUTIrUL.-Place a young
girl under the care of kind graceful
woman, and she unconsciously to herself grows
into graceful lady. Place boy in the estab-
lishment of a thorough-goiug. straightforward
business man, and the boy becomes self-re-
liant, practical business man. Children sus.
ceptible creatures, and circumstances, scenes
and actions always impress them. AS you in
fuence them not By arbitrary rules, nor by stern
example alone, but in the thousand other ways
that speak through beautiful forms and soft ut
terances, so they will grow. Give them cor
ner in the garden for flowers; allow them to
have their favorite trees, rouse them in the
morning, not with the stern "time to work,
but with the enthuiastic ''see the beautiful sun
RISE" Allow them the privilege and they will
make your home beautiful.

WINE THAT WILL NOT INroxIcATE.-The juices
of any sound, ripe fruit, may be canned, or put
in jugs, and sealed up airtght while it is scald-
ing hot, just as we put up canned fruit, and
may be kept any length of time if properly put
up. small bottle of such juice may be opened
at anytime, and mixed with water and sugar,
making pleasant drink, or wine, that is net in
toxicating. Or, better still, such juices
celent to use over vegetables instead of vinegar,
or with bread, when fruit is scarce ; children
would often prefer fruit juices, even without su-
gar, to moasses or milk. Much good fruit
might be used in this way that is now left to
rot, because it is too small to pick over. Any
fruit worth gathering, if ripe and good, may be
washed or pressed, or scalded, and the juice
drained off, then the juice must be made boiling
hot and put into jugs, or bottles, and properly
sealed .-FrankLin Reqister.

THE EARTHQUAKES IN South AxERIcA.-The
Panama Star of the 9th gives the following ac-
count of the recent earthquake in South Amer
lea:
On the evening of August goth shock of
earthquake occurred at Iquiqui, of long dura-
ton, and of such force that the inhabitants all
fed to the hillsides for the better security of
their lives. The shock was followed by several
others at intervals of half hour, the strongest
lasting about two minutes. The chief danger
apprehended was from the sea, all the houses
being constructed of wood. In africa there
were no less than forty shocks on the 10th in
slant, all more or less strong and the people,
dreading another sea nundation, were not slow
in completely deserving the place. Similar re-
portsSbf movements of the earth received
from Tacna and Arequipa. In the latter place
great religious procession was held on the 18th
instant, in commemoraton of the disaster of last

The Long Ago.

There's beautiful Isle in the long ego,
All flooded with golden light, ~
And river that flows by the margin green,
Whose waters are wondrous bright!
There's bark that glides with snowy SAIL
And the music of silver oar, ~,
That carries back to the shining gates
OF the beautiful past once
Ali every heart holds some sweet dream
OF the beautiful long sgol
There were bright hopes in the long ago,
Sweet flowers we gathered there,
And the walls or this beautiful past 10 hung
With many an image fairl
And oh there 10 room for the feet to tread
This path of the bygone years;
There are joys that bloom in memory's fields,
And a fount for our bitter tears
And that fount holds many a hallowed tear
We've wept in the long ago.
There happy dreams that the heart holds dear
Bright dreams of the long ago;
And sacred tears for perished hopes
That will return no more.
And thus, in the tangled web Of life,
We weave our smiles and tears;
Yet the soul has holy memories
That cling to departed years.
All drop that silken curtain now
OF the beautiful long ago.
Shut out the light of those perished years,
Close the door Of the past again;
And hush the yearning thoughts that fill
Thy soul with much pain;
Then roll the heavy stone against
That sepulchre-the heart!
Why should these buried forms again
To life and beauty start
The future may hold some dreams a. bright
As those of long agol

THE following is from the Adoanoe
Not . great while ago, one of the New
York churches sought TO increase the size
of its congregation and contributions by
employing half dozen handsome young
women to pass the collection boxes for
missionary and other objects. The plan
was reluctantly given up, however, after
the place had acquired the name Of The
Church of the Pretty Waiter Girls"

remarks; "Therc, Bub, take this and run

we're In bed"
