FOREIGN cANARps.

Probably no woman in high position
ever led SO exemplary life as the pres
ent ruler of England. As queen, wife,
mother, in every relation of life, she is
recognized by all good men as a model
of department; yet even she has not
escaped the wintry blasts Of calumny
from the rabble-the Jewellers, who de-
ride everything that is pure, respectable
and yirtuous. The famous words in
Sheridan's critic, No scandal about
Queen Elizabeth, | hope" might well be
applied to her illustrious successor now
reigning. The Queen of England hardly
takes step without arousing flock of
canards, and causing new crop of scan
dals to spring up. If she goes to the
Highlands, the old "gillie" stories are
retold; if she appears in public any
where, the rumors Of her insanity are
revived. Her recent visit to Baden-Ba-
den has set all the quidnuncs of the
United Kingdom agog, and wondrous are
the stories they recount. One has it
that the visit is revival of affection for
the Princess Hohenlohe Langenburg; a
second spies German match for Prin-
cess Beatrice, who was lately talked of
as the destined spouse of British no.
bleman; third knows certainly that she
went to dissuade the Princess Teck from
bringing divorce suit against her hus-
band, Prince Teck, whose intimacy with
q notorious London actress has justly
made the Princess, formerly Princess
Mary of Cambridge, very indignant;
finally comes a wiseacre, who telegraphs
that Victoria is about to .abdicate the
throne, and went to Germany to consult
her German relatives regarding that
step.

THE LAST OF THE sURRATr TRIAL


1t will be remembered that at the con-
clusion Of the Surratt trial, Mr. Bradley,
counsel of the prisoner, engaged in a
conflict with Judge Fisher, who presided
during the trial of the case Mr. Bradley
was expelled from the bar by Judge
Fisher for an alleged contempt of court
] Mr.. Bradley brought suit against the
Judge, which cause was decided a few
days since by the Supreme Court. The
decision was in favor of Judge Fisher,
sustaining the action of the Court be-
low. The points of the decision we're;
|. Because he sued for being expelled
from the Supreme Court of the District,
when it appears by the declaration that
he was expelled from the Criminal
Court
2. Because Judge cannot be sued
for deciding case within bis jurisdic-
ton, even though he decide wrong, and
this applies to all cases where he has
jurisdiction of the subject matter
3. The Criminal Court has jurisdiction
to remove attorneys from the bar OF that
Court.
Mr.. Justice Field delivered the opin-
ion. Mr.. Justice Davis read brief
opinion, in which Mr.. Justice Clifford
concurred, dissenting from so much Of
the opinion of the Court as held that a
Judge is not liable, in case ike the pre-
sent, where it is alleged that he acted
maliciously and corruptly. If he did so
act, he is held to be subject to suit, the
same as private person would be under
like circumstances 1t is also held that
the merits of the case, discussed by the
majority of the court, are not, in 1.-THE
state Of the record, open for examine
ton.

Louis Simanan was arrested on board
the steamer Belle Memphis by detec-

two valuable mules from Mr.. W. L.
Noonan, at Hickman, Ky. Mr.. Noonan
arrived in the city this morning, identi-
fed his property, and appeared before
the Recorder in the prosecution of Sima-
nan, who was committed without bail to
await requisition. Simanan, however
agreed to go back to Hickman without
requisition and stand his trial, alleging
that he had purchased the mules from
an African citizen of Kentucky.

New ENGLAND is steadily becoming
foreign land. The character Of the
population of these New England States
is likely to undergo the most wonderful
notifications before another decade has
passed. For years the lineal descend
ants of the canting Pilgrims have been
migrating westward and southwark, seek
ing better opportunities for accommodating
fortunes. The places Of these wander
ers have been taken by English, Irish
and Canadians, and some of the Oldest
farms in New England have passed into
the hands Of the new corners. In 1870
the excess Of births from foreign parent
age over native parentage was 2,776, an
excess greater than in any year since
1865. Should this exodus or hegira o
native New Englanders continue for tel
years the land of the Pilgrim Father
will become the land of the sturdy En-
glishman, the industrious Canadian ant
the Woodworking Irishman There il
some hope left for New England yet, an,
the change viii be for the better in ever,
respect.

MILWAUKEE, April l6.-The schooner
Liberty was dashed to pieces against the
lighthouse pier during the storm last
night, and one of her crew drowned.
She arrived of Milwaukee late last night.
In consequence Of the absence Of the
beacon light upon the extension of the
north pier she failed to make the harbor,
and was nearly abreast Of the pier when
the pilot discovered his mistake. Anchor
was dropped, but she soon dragged her
salt against the crib and began pound,

been crushed to death, as he was moi

HOW TO COMMENCE BUSINESS
There are many young men who
are in the habit OF excuslng their
idleness and ~ineficiency with the
pIea that they can DO nothing with
ont capital. The lack OF means Is ID
ready reply they make 20 every APP
zeal TO action. They imagine that
ihev possess in themselves all The
,,erguisites to success except capital
ii lhev only had capital ii addition
to their other imagined %Utrtucs, they
would do great things in the world ;
fhev would grow and astOnish the
natives with T. c D0iGaesS ard OTlI-
Haucy of their enterprise. They
wouId become immensely rich, aud
Law the world under perpetual obhga-
tiOns 10 them by the maSnlncehce OF
their be~neiactiOns. This Is the way
they think and talk, and they loll
the vain glorious idea over IN their
minds until they come to imagine
that the world is an immense loser by
their poverty.
THESE persons forget one important
fact-that all capital is the product OF
labor. That nearly every personal
fortune they can enumerate IS either
the product of its owners toll anu
skill. or the representation OF his
fathers toll and skill.
How did the makers of these ior-
tunes get along without capital? Had
they spent the vigoT of their youth IN
idle and foolish lamentations over
their poverty, they would have lived
and died poor, and left nothing but
an inheritance of honesty behind
them. Capital allied TO labor and
skill can wOcks.wonders in the way q
material enterprises. But money Is
not the only Indispensable thing TO
Young men. There are other KINDS
ofcapital besides accumulated money!
brains. muscle, industry, honesty,
diligence. truth, fidelity, skill, tact,
education-dU these are capital, ana
all of them have q commercial value

or later. to command in the market.

in this country may make more than
he needs 10 spend every year, ana

and make it, and thus give proof Of
his ability TO use it profitably and
iudiciously. If we go into any great
ci-y, or into any prosperous agricul-
tural district, we find the capitalists
are those who have made their for
tunes without any outside aid. They
did not waste their time in repining
at their poverty, and in silly dreams
of what they could do if they had the
money to do it with. They went
boldly and resolutely to work they
