A Lady In Court.

A few days ago, young lady en-
gagged in the study of law, tool. a seat
within the bar of q Court. at Rockford,
III. The effect of a lady's presence is
reported to have been both civilizihg
aud humanizing. Fewer boot soles
were observed to be resting upon tables
and ratings, and there was less loung>
ing in uncouth attitudes, while it was
noticed also that the young attorneys
had paid more than ordinary attention
to their personal appearance. This re.
port encourages us to hope that ladies
may take to the law in greater NUNS
bers. While we say this, we do not
believe that the legal profession is one
which is behind any other occuption in
the matter of refined and gentlemanly
behavior But we believe all profes.
sions and occupations will be the better
for the presence of women of character
and ability. tits time that our ciyiliza>
tion took on more of the Christian and
less OF the Mohammedan type. Under
the Asiatic civilization, woman was not
recognized as an intellectual companion
for man. Under our civilization, she is
acknowledged a. such to limited ex-
tent, 1t is time that the idea was con-
sstently carried out. Whatever work
Of hand or brain woman chooses to un>
dertake, let her make full proof of her
ability, and gather due reward for her
work
One of the best counsellors in Penn
sylvania trained his daughters to the
law, SO that they prepared oil his legal
papers, and he consulted with, aud was
aided by them in all his legal practice.
They were his helpers and co workers.
Who can show any good reason why
they should not have been recognized
as members q the profession with their
father and preceptorl Any good and
useful work to which woman may
choose to give her attention should not
be denied her. And whatever contri.
butes to make woman more independent
and helpful to herself, will be benefit
to the human family - Toledo Blade.

Last night two persons sailed out
together and drank until both felt rath-
er boozy. One was tall, powerful fell
low, and the other rather fragile. look
ing. The larger man wished the smaller
ones money, and how to get it he new
not unless on the principle of "might
makes right" He wanted to borrow
some on his word. It was not good
enough. He would only ask $13 as a
loan. He could not borrow cent. The
smaller man went to his room, and the
larger one follownd him to try and per-
suade him to take q walk. The money
ed party did not want his acquaintance,
and ordered him out of the room. This
the other refused to do, SO the small
man packed up his valise, and under
the protection of policeman, was es>
corted to another hotel, where he was
safe from the intrusions of snch an ad-
hesive companion. It was known that
robbery would be attempted, as the
treacherous friend knew the other had
check for $500 on his person; so the
police kept strict watch on his pro-
ceedings. There are many persons in
this city at present living upon their
wits; SO persons had better beware of
placing themselves in their way.-Her~

Extremes will Meet.

Some of the Democratic journals
read Brick Pomeroy out Of the party,
and call him traitor. We predicted
long since that the rabid secessionists
and the universal snfrageists must nat.
urally run together, liveeand die to-
gether, leaving the reigns Of Govern
ment in the hands of the true lovers ot
country and liberty, Conservatives. We
shall now expect to hear Of the consoli-
dation of the two great paper institu-
tions. Pomeroy's Democrat and Gree
ley's Tribune.

We really feel amused over the spe,

We really feel amused over the spec
ulations of certain journals concerning
Senator Williams. A person who knew
nothing to the contrary, would suppose,
from reading the Bulletin and Orego-
MAN, that Williams was the greatest
man in America aud they are persist
ent in such intimations. In the first
place he was to receive, according to
those authorities, place in Grants
first Cabinet; next he was to have been
placed upon the Supreme Bench, then
upon the Bench in one of the new Cir.
cults as United States Circuit Judge /;
next he was to have occupied the high
est Bench in the district of Columbia
at Washington City; then he was to
have been Attorney General; next
he was to have been the Minister to
England then he was to have been
sent to China; we will be forgiven
for not stating in the first instance
that, prior to all this, he was to have
been Vice President of the United
States and now, it seems, he is to be
Post Master General. He must have
been born under lucky planet pros
pectively. He most certainly must be
person Of varied qualifications. We
believe there has not been single po-
sition of Importance to be filed, since
Williams was elected Senator, but what,
in the opinion of those journalists,
was sure to have been filled by his
Honor We expressed wish long since
that Grant would provide for him when
his time expired God bless Mr.. Will
ans. May he get something, is our
sincere desire

The Next Congress.

II is now plainly to be seen that the
Democratic party, that was supposed by
many of us at the close Of the war to
be practically dead, has really come to
life, and is making rapid strides in the
direction of the White House. This
ought to satisfy all sober thinking men,
that the cry of "dead issues" or organi.
cations in politics is myth. The facts
are, that in thep resent Congress, the
REPUBLICAN party has at least one huns
dred majority, while in the Congress
just elected, and to commence in 1871,
our party will not have more than
thirty five majority. The same degree
of progress would give the Democracy
the Congress in 1872, and the Presi-
dent also; and yet the Oregonidn de.
clares that the members of the Repub
lican party are fully satisfied with the
policy of Congress, and that our pros
poets are bright. All this may be true,
but it seems to us considerably like a
man passing contentedly over the rapids
above the falls of the Niagara, and,
when warned Of his danger as he nearcd
the precipice, would answer, with an
idiotic smile, the country's safe.

CoTToN KING AGAIN-The cotton
crop oflS70 is now estimated at about
100000 bales. Tho largest crop
ever raised in the United States was
4,G69,770 bales, in 1859. In 1868, the
first year after the war, the produc-
ton was 2, l93,9S7 bales. Last year
the crop was about 3, $50, 900 bales

There is common, but false, no.
ton that frequent cutting of the hair
is favorable to its growth. Mothers
thus often bespoil their infants of
their first silken locks, with the idea
that the second hair will be much
more rich and abundant. This is an
error The most beautiful and aboun-
ding heads of hair we ever saw were
those which the scissors had never
toncbed Mothers, not satisfied with
trimming the hair OF their children,
often have it shaved or cut it close to
the scalp when they find it is losing
some of its brilliancy or falling ont.
Except in rare cases of disease, the
total sacrifice of the hair is unneces-
sary, and the second growth is never
equal to the first. Getting the hair
trimmed from time to time, may be
allowed as q matter of convenience,
but it does not produce the benefit
generally attributed to it.
