Sure Thing on a Jury,

Young lawyers sometimes despair OF
defense which gives no encouragement;
but old practitioners-more especially
when the fees are remunerative and GER
tain-can see nc discouragements held
forth by the evidence not to be coun-
terbalanced and overcome by profess
sional acuteness and sagacity well paid.
A prisoner was once arralgned III Kent
county, Mich, for stealing pork. He
retained young and talented, and in
genious member of his profession for
his defense. Having listened to the
prisoners own story, and heard from
him what in all probability the peoples
witnesses would swear to, he candidly
informed his client that it was useless
to waste money on his defense.
"Never you mind" was the conf
dent reply; "you rgue my case good
and strong, just as if you believed me
prosecuted man, and I will give you
$50.
The lawyer worked up to the con-
tract, and before he had half summed
up he had the jury in tears at the bare
idea of snatching such a bright exam
pie of domestic and social worth from
the bosom of his family and the society
of his neighbors, to be thrust among
felons in the common jail.
To his astonishment his appeal was
effective; the prisoner was acquitted
Closeted together after the verdict
and discharge of the culprit, and the
$40 having been paid over, the lawyer
said
"By the by, B, that was a
most surprising verdict, considering
what the government proved. %
"Not at ALL was the cool reply
''six of them iurymen had some of the
pork"
The mercury in that lawyers bump

A New Source of CarhOIic Acid

Mr.. Broughton, the Government
Quinologist at Oclacamund, has sue
ceeded in extracting carbolic acid from
the Andromeda Laschenaultii, COM
mon plant on the Neilgherries. The
acid thus obtained differs in some re-
spects from that procured from coal
tar. It is less deliquescent, and far
more pure, and would therefore be an
admirable substitute for cabolic acid in
delicate cases. With regard to the
cost of production, it is difficult at
presentto speak with certainty; for
although the plant is inexhaustible,
the process of extraction is rather
costly. The Madras Government con-
siders that Mr.. Brougton's discovery is
one of Importance, and that it should
be made known in England as well as
in India The acid is now employed to
SO large an extent as disinfectant and
for medical purposes that it is worth
notice that, in the event of war, we
should not be wholly dependent upon
Canada and America for our supplies.

A Prize Fighter Brought Up by a
Minister.

The Sioux City Times of the 18th
instant gives a column biographical
sketch of "Red Handed Mike The
Times takes him out of the cradle, and
follows him up to his fighting estate
The passages are quite interesting. W,
quote as follows: "When Mike wa'
seven years old, his parents emigratet
to Canada, and settled down at ST. An
eselt, Mike developing no remarkable
qualities until he was ten years old
when the agent of a travelling circus
happened to incidentally see the sub
iect of our sketch in the act of throw
ing somersault, prevailed on the
youngster to join his circus company
Mike, liking the opportunity of seeing
something of the world, attached him
self to the company and soon estab
hshed reputation as an acrobat and
singer. Six months afterwards, while
performing in Franklin county,
N. Y, a Methodist minister, named
Blackman, happening to attend the
circus, heard Mike sing, and was sc
favorably impressed with the boys
abilities in this line, that he induced
Mike to sever his connection with the
saw-dust arena Going home with the
preacher, Mike was soon installed as
a leading singer in the choir of the
church of which the Rev. Blackman
was pastor Now, it happened that the
reverend gentleman had at one time
been drummer in the army, and more
over, had gained considerable fame as
sparrer with gloves. When the Rev.
Blackman joined the ministry, he still
retained his love for the use of the
dumb bells and boxing gloves, and the
youthful Mike was found to be an ex
cellent companion in assisting the
pugilistic preacher in taking his daily
glove exercise Under this training,
Mike soon developed an amount of tact
IN handling his bunch of fives that at
tracted the attention of some sporting
men in the neighborhood Unknown
to Mikes ministerial foster-father, a
prize fight was secretly gotten up
between a young man of the
village and Mike. In this fight
Mike displayed that rare tact, perseve-
rance and pluck which has since then
given him so many victories in tbs
prize ring. Mike soon blinded and

A purse of twenty dollars was raised
from among the spectators and pre-
sented to Mike, which the latter took
home and showed to the preacher. The
preacher, while proud of his pupil, Sc
verely reprimanded him for giving a
public exhibition of his skill Mike
remained about six months longer with
his pastoral protector, who, dying very
suddenly, left it incumbent on Mike to
find some new means of support. He
therefore resorted to his old vocation
as a circus performer until 1865, when
he fought his first regular professional
prize fight with man named John
Dolan, in the Red River country, in
1865.
"He is quiet, unpretending and
unOstentat1Ousyoung man and gives but
little evidence to the casual observer
of the gritty material of which he is
composed. He woald like to settle
down and become thrifty and perma-
nent resident, and we hope he may con-
clude to become one of the growing
host whose energy and fame and sue
cess are adding new laurels to our city. ;"

Singular Law Suit.

An unseemly lawsuit is pending in
Brooklyn courts. Three brothers and
a sister named Slocum, on the death OF
their father, some years ago, bought a
lot in the cemetary of the Evergreens,
in which they inferred the bodies OF
the father, mother and sister each pay
ing their share of the expenses. One
of the brothers died few years ago,
and was also buried in the lot. Sev-
eral days since, the two remaining
brothers, without the consent ofs their
sister, sold half of the lot to stranger
for S125. In making the division, it
was necessary to remove two of the
bodies to another portion of the lot,
and another interment was made in the
portion sold. Learning this fact, the
the sister has ordered the remains
of the stranger to be removed, and
the other bodies placed in THEN
original resting place, and has also
brought an action for an injunction to
prevent her brothers from removing
the bodies again, and from disposine
of any part of the lot 1t was certainly
an outrageous proceeding on the part
if the brothers, and the Judge very
properly granted the lady a perpet tual
Injunction.

Scent Powders and Perfume.

Harper's Bazaar says: A charming
reoipefor scent-powder to be used for
wardrobes, boxes ETC., etc, far finer
than the mixtures sold at the shops, is
the following: Coriander, orris root,
rose leaves and aromatic calamus, each
one ounde; lavender flowers, two
ounces; rhodium wood, one fourth
of drachm; musk, five grains. These
are mixed and reduced to coarse pow
der. The scent on clothes is as if all
fragrant garden flowers had been
pressed in their folds,
A perfume for note-paper, said to be
that used by the Queen of England, is
made of powdered starch, one-half
ounce; fresh orris powder, the same;
ottar of roses, ten drops. Put this in
to bags and keep in the writing desk
with paper.
All delicious favors may be impris-
oned by keeping the delicate substance
in deodorized alcohol. How deodor-
lied? By filtering through animal
charcoal or bone-black in powder. The
black may be used several times over !;
thick flannel bag, with wire at the
top, will answer for filter Fill it
with the black dust, and pour the alco-
hol in it, leaving it to settle through.
Have wide-mouthed bottles with glass
shoppers ready, and half fill with alco-
hol then fill with powdered orange or
lemon peel, peach leaves, almonds,
slices of pineapple, raspberries or
fresh cherries; and the housewife will
have finer assortment of havors than
any manufactures will furnish her. If
she wishes, however, to initiate favors
which in the natural form are out of
reach, it is best to use compounds of
which she is not ignorant.
Banana may be initiated with oil of
jasmine and very little tartaric acid.
Strawberry with strong tincture of
orris and very little acetic ether-one
ounce of the tincture to one-eighth OF
ether
Strong tincture of orris root resem-
bles raspberry.
Pineapple is made with butyric
ether, the acid itself coming from the
transformation of rancid butter by a
chemical process.
Very little of these preparations is
needed to give the desired flavor.
Four ounces of the tinctures mention
ed will supply flavor enough for con-
stant use during the whole summer

important Decision.

A Maine Judge has recently laid down
the law in regard to the obligations of
common carriers. The suit was brought
against railroad company, by a pas
senger, who, on being asked by the
conductor for his ticket, which had been
previously demanded and given up,
was, in consequence of the short mem
DRY of that official, greeted by him with
a threat of splitting his head open, ac-
companied by the shaking OF fist IN
close proximity to his face. There was
no physical assault, but such an attack
the law regards as a technical assault,
and as it was proved that the employers
of the conductor no being informed OF
the fact did not discharge the man but
still kept him in his position, the Court
instructed the jury that the case was
one of exemplary damages. The jury
accordingly returned a verdict for S.,
000 which the appellate courts, sus
tanning the decision of the first judge
refused to set aside.

new apportionment, which will reduce the New

ElovRtinR tho Ministry.

II any of our readers have the curiosity and
the time to make the necessary comparison
between the style of pulpit preaching indulged
In five years ago and now they must be con-
vinced that great advance has been made
of late; and, without egotism, we may claim
for the HERALD the merit of this advance and
Improvement. 1t was formerly the custom to
measure ministerial ability and success by the
numbers who might be attracted to hear any
particular preacher, and hence the sermons Of
only one or two men in this city or Brooklyn
obtained currency through the press But if
drawing crowd is an evidence of ministerial
success we can draw as big a crowd with an
organ-grinder and a monkey any day as
Brother Boccher draws. Il was left to the
HERALD to apprehend the fact that Mr..
Beecher did not monopolizs the whole, nor,
indeed, any very considerable part of Chris
tian truth, and then to demonstrate this fact
to the public. And we need not now argue
whether we have been successful In our de-
monstration or not. Our columns Of sermons
from week to week bear us sufficient evidence,
so that We have bat to state the proposition
and leave it for universal acceptance.
The elevation and Improvement Of the min
istry to which we refer reaches both to the
manner and the matter of the pulpit discourses
There Is an advance in the thought of the pull
pit and an improvement in the utterances OF
the minister. The weak have been made
strong. the thonghtless have been stimulated
to think, the idle have been encouraged to
work and to study by the friction OF their
own minds and thoughts with those Of others
which we have presented to them. Ministers
very rarely have an opportunity to hear one an
other preach; but we have given them all the
means of knowing what their brethren think
on the doctrines and precepts of the Gospel,
and the result is an elevation OF the mass OF
ministers and people to higher plane and to
purer and more spiritual ideas. The nearer q
man gets to the Sun the warmer he becomes
naturally, and the nearer man comes. to the
truth the bsaer and the holier will he be-; bu
no man unaccustomed to Interchange o
thought can rise much higher thah the plan;
on which he starts out. Hence. the HERALI

THE PoPE TO YouEe AMERICA The letter
which we publish to-day from the Pope to the
Catholic youth of America will ba read with
general interest 1t gives us timely warning
that the ''honor and prosperity Of our coun-
try depend upon our preserving ''tbe love of
Justice, pure morality and religion" This is
not, perhaps, very new discovery, and it
reminds us somewhat OF Washipgton's Fare
well Address But the general wording OF
the letter is go kindly and genial. and it is
such delicate aud appreciative mark Of
affectlonate respect, that it will be cordially
welcomed by Protestants and Catholics alike.
The best thing for the Pope to do now is TO
come ane live among the most Intelligent and
loving OF his children; and we are sure the
Pope himself must have thought 50 when he
received the addresses of American Catholics
on Italian spolstios. His ietsee lust received
