THE VOLUNTEER COUNSEL.

JoHN TAYLOR was licensed, Whena youth
of twenty-one, to practice at the bar. He
was poor, but well educated, and pos
sessed Of extraordinary genius BE mar
ried beauty who afterward deserted him
for another.
On the 9th of April, 1910, the court
house in ClarkVille, Texas, was crowded
to overflowing. An exciting case was
to be tried. George Hopkins, q wealthy
planter, had offered gross insult TO
Mary Ellison, the young and beautiful
wife of his oyefseer. The husband threat.
ened to ehastise him for the euutraee, when
Hopkins went TO Ellison's house and
shot him in his own door. The murderer
was arrested and bailed to answer the
charge. This occurrence produced great
eKcitement and Hopkins, Ia order to turn
the tide Of popular indignation, had cir
eulated reports against her character, and
she had sued him for slander. Both suits
were pending murder and slander.
The interest became deeper when II
was known that Ashley and Pike, Of Ar
kansas, and s. s. Prentiss, Of New Or
leans, BY enormous fees, had been re

THE Rla.FIcEERs on NEW YORK.


ONE PHASE OF CITY LIFE.
A REPORT presented TO the Working
Women's Association Of New York city,
by Mrs. Sarah F. Norton, appears IN the
Re0OJuti0R. II gives an interesting &C.
count of the habits and condition OF the
rag-pickers. The committee appointed
by the Association had taken great pains
TO become familiar with the subject, visit
ing the laborers under consideration, IN
Vestigating their mode Of living and work
ing, and considering the effect Of their
business upon the Well-being Of society.
Hundreds of rag-pickers have been
visited at their homes they have been
under observation at almost all hours OF
the day they have been watched through
the streets, while engaged in gathering
bits Of paper out Of the gutter, and Taking
up the concealed wealth of rubbish bar
reis; they have been followed until the
contents Of their bags and baskets have
changed owners, and then the trlties they
pick up have been traced through all the
stages Of transformation to their hnal
uses.
The ragpickef not only puts refuse Of
this kind into his bag OF basket, but is
also very careful 10 pick up every bone,
every bit Of broken glass or old iron,
every old bootor shoe and scrap Of leather,
and every bit Of coal or other material
which may be available as fuel.
After having filled his bag and bis
basket, anc very often his hat and his
| pockets, with such articles he may have
/ gathered IN his daily rounds, be goes to his
home and assorts his wares, and, II pos
sible, makes another round usually, how
ever, one such search suflces for twenty
four hours.
i The labor Of the rag-picker begins
very early Ia the morning, generally
about three or four o'clock. Not tinire-
quentlE however, they, some Of them,
make their rounds in the middle Of the
night, starting al ten b clock In the af-
ternooon,. by one Or two O'clock, be reaehef
4 home, and begins the work Of asserting
the material he has gathered during the
forenoon. The different articles are
placed In separate receptaoles, wherethey
accumulate until called for by the dealer
OF manufacturer. The prices paid TO the
rag.picker are as follows For paper and
rags thres cents pound for bones
scraps Of bread, meat and other bita o.
garbage, fry cents bushel. Bits D
leather and old boots and shoes have ns
specific price, but arc sold for what car
Be bargalned for, and are used aa fuel

The judgments of Women.

An eminent minister of the church,
once made this fine observations: We
will says nothing of the way in which
that sex usually conduct arguments but
the intuitive Judgments Of women are
often more to be relied upon than conulu-
sions which we reach by an elaborate pro
cess Of reasoning. No man that has an
intelligent wife, or is accustomed 70 the
society of educated women, will dBpute
this. Times without number you must
have known them to decide questions on
the instant, and with unerring accuracy
whichyou had been poring over for hours,
perhaps with no other result than to find
yourself getting deeper and deeper into
the tangled maze of difficulties II were
hardly generous 10 allege that they
achieved these feats less by reasoning than
sort of sagacity that appToximates tc
the sure instincts Of the animal races
and yet there seems to be some ground fol
the remark Of a witty French writer, thai
when man has toiled, step by step, up 3
fight of stairs, he will be sure to find {
woman at the top; but she viii not b.
able to tell how she got there. How she
got there, however, IS Of little moment
| II the conclusions woman has reached
are sound, that is all that conceFns us
And that they are very apt to be sound o.
the practical matters Of domestic AMI
secular life, nothing but prejudice ant
selfconceit can prevent US from acknowl
edging. The inference, therefore, Is IN
avoidable, that the man who thinks it be
meath his dignity TO take counsel with al
intelligent wife, stands in his own light
and betrays that lack Of Judgment whicl
he tacitly attributes to her.
