ino the construction Of this road vigorously to

A Paragraph for Our Lawyers.

The following are the closing words of Sir
John Colderidge's great speech for the de-
fense in the Tichborne trial, which occupied
thirty days in its delivery. We thought Hell
ena, among her distinguished lawyers, could
boast of some very ''long-winded ones, as
exemplifed in the Coady-Reins case by
Sanders, Chumasero, Toole, Symes and
Shober. who, we believe, spoke to the jury
several days each; but this thirty day argu-
ment of Sir Johns, which is pronounced the
greatest speech of the century," lays them
completely in the shade:
great estate and an old and honorable
family await your verdict. On you, and you
alone, depends whether a young and noble
lady of spotless character, and whether a
young child-too young indeed for certainty,
but of whom all good things may reasonably
be hoped--shall enjoy that estate and represent
that family, crippled indeed by the ruinOus
expense of thislawsuit, and by the falsehoods
of the claimant, yet still an old and honorable
family and still great estate; or whether
the estate is to be wasted and the family de-
graded by the man whom1 have described
before in words / don't repent of using-in
words have made good-in words l now re-
peat, as a conspirator, perjuer, a forger, a
slanderer, and a villain. IApplause.] Gen.
tlemen, when Chidlock Tichborne came to
die, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, on Tower
hill, he spoke of the family of Tichborne as
having lived unstained in its place in Hamp-
shire for two hundred years from before the
Conquest. Three hundred years have rolled
away since the days of Queen Elizabeth, and
the family of Tichborne is still there; and
the hopes of that great and ancient family
are centred in that little child of whom have
spoken. For him-whom most inadequately
representa- ask your verdict. 1 ask for no
favor-I ask for no indulgence; / ask you
only to do that which is just and right, ac-
cording to the strictest principles of law and
the clearest rules of reason. / know you will
do what you think right, because have the
most absolute trust and faith in the honor,
justice, and integrity of body of English
gentlemen. English justice cannot indeed,
though you WELD the sword which is to smite
down craft and crime but English justice
does commit to your hands its equal scales, in
which truth will always outweigh falsehood.
And, gentlemen, 4strust, in no vain or brag-
gart spirit-in no ItlseemIy yover-confidence1
but in complete confidence, accept the issue,
for my cause is right, and you are just. There
was burst of applause as the Attorney Gen.
eral resumed his seat

Opium Smoking.

A recent French medical journal contains
an interesting paper on opium smoking. The
habit so prevalent in China has been intro
duced in France, and it is stated that club
of young men has been formed in Paris for
the purpose of indulging in this dangerous
practice. The habit subjects the beginner to
serious inconvenience. such as nausea, vom-
iting, giddiness and violent headache. The
opium for the pipe is prepared according to
secret formulas and acquires semi-iluid con-
sistency resembling a dense oil, possesses q
sweet taste, and has the appearance of eX-
tract of juniper. The dose for days smok-
ing in the beginning, amounts to 150 grains.
The effects of this drug are to excite in the
smoker, first loquacity, and next stupid joy,
ending in a profound slumber lasting for
several hours, during which the pulse falls
very low. The opium smoker becomes indo-
lent, loses the inclination for work, and at
last ends as confirmed idiot. In the latter
condition the opium smoker has no appetite
for food, becomes very lean, and his COM
plexion assumes a peculiar hue.
