with Arbitration over the phrase, and it wild
round Of the newspapers. An inquiring creature
here and there did perhaps ask of his own soul what
Liturgy Of Dead Sea Apes meant; what species Of
ape was peculiar to the Dead Ses and what their
liturgy. But these inquirers too timid to
put the question openly, and it passed into pub
lie law that Carlyle had said something WONDERFULLY
clever when he spoke of Liturgy Of Dead Sea Apsst
But behold it nov turns out that Carlyle said
any such thing. He wrote "Desd Sea Apples" aud
a bewildered printer made it "Dead Sea Apes p
ss The whole story is that Of Sydney Smith
and the "Kimes" over again. sydney Smith vrots
of somebody being ''Wounded with knives" prin-
ter's bIunder converted "knives" into "kimes" and
the public supposed these latter to be some awful
weapons used in foreign torture and were, therefore,
impressed far more profoundly BY the story than
would otherwise have been possible. We know Of
another instance Of somewhat similar kind A
journalist had to write an angry editorial about
certain person in Rome being committed to the ten
der merciss Of the 'Papal Gendarmes" The printers
made II '.Papa Zendaiyes." The article went round
all the papers, and "PaPal zendaives" figured every

Mr.. Shand-I made mistake. 1t was the
Messrs. Kidston who discounted these bills.
Lord Ardmillan, addressing the prisoner, said ::
1t is a very sad thing to see man Of your educa-
tion and your position, and undoubtedly, your
previous good character, at the bar of this court
on q charge Of forgery-not only on one charge
Of forgery but four charges, on four several occa-
sions 1t is case that fills me with the deepest
distress Your counsel has very ably and judi
ciously given us the previous history of your life
showing that you have not failed to discharge
your duty in many important and difficult posi-
tions. You have many features of character
highly commendable to you, and that make it
more surprising that you should be here under
such charge. But it is my painful duty to tell
you that we are here constantly inAicting sem
tences more or less severe upon offenders who
have had no good education, who have had no
opportunity of Improvement, who have spent
their whole lives under the sorest temptations
and who, for cases of thefts and cases of frauds,
have been sentenced to the most severe punish
ments. can not, speaking the voice of the law,
recognize the duty. or even the privilege, Of re-
lieving from criminal responsibility to the same
extent those who have enjoyed advantages and
opportunities so greatly superior. Therefore, it
is with great pain that ! find myself compelled,
notwithstanding all that has been so well said in
your behalf, to pronounce severe sentence
There is one circumstance which appears favor
able to you, and it has been stated that you have
not, like some men, plunged into a course Of ex-
trayagant living and dissipation, and maintained
it by means of forgery; but that being oppressed
and distracted by business losses and enibarrass-
ments, you thus endeavored to relieve yourself.
1t is bad crime but it is certainly not so great
as the other would have been, and to which your
counsel adverted, and wisely adverted. 1t is i'm
possible to pronounce any sentence less than one
of penal servitude but it will not be for the
very long period which, in cases of this kind,
was till recently, absolutely necessary and which
is still the. general practice. In most cases Of
forgery of one such bill as we have now before
u.s. the ordinary sentence is seven years penal
servitude. But in this case we have four in
Stances of forgery. Taking your case into the
most favorable consideration, the sentence Of the
Court is penal servitude for seven years.
