Another Volume Of a Valuable Series

| We have heretofore described this series
of reports so fully that our readers ought to
be we'll acquainted with its merits. We
know of none other of equal value. 1t fills
| a place which had always been vacant, and
| supplies a want which had always been felt.
In the language of the publisher, we may
say that the object Of these reports is to place
within reach OF every lawyer all the deci-
sions of general value of every State in the
Union. .=.s-s .s ~. .a,,E /.
"The number of volumes of the Reports
of the several States is already so large, and
is being SO rapidly increased, that to p'lr.
chase them, OF any considerable portion OF
them, is beyond the pecuniary ability of the
great body OF the profession. The Reports
OF the Courts of Last Resort OF the several
States contain cases of great general I'M.
portance, and which are always considered
as high authority by the courts Of the other
States, but they are buried beneath mass Oh

The volume before lis is the fourth of the
series. I'VE have never received the first, OF

and alsoa table Of the cases cited. We had
intended TO mention some of the more i'm

upon looking over the index we find that
there are so many interesting decisions that
we must content ourselves with referring the

Carl Schurz at the Piano--.Thc True
Story.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.
In his very interesting and graphic letter
written from Cincinnati at the close of the
Convention Mr.. Samuel BoWles, of the
Springfield (NIass.) Republican, gave an ac-
count of how Carl Schurz, wcaried and dis
appointed, wendell his way from the Con-
yention hall to the residence of Judge Stallo,
and. seating himself at the piano, gave cX-
preston TO his sadness in playing ravishing
Strains from Auter. This story--romantic,
pathetic, and admirably told by Mr.. Bowles-
has had an extensive run. 1t has been
coming to us in our exchanges ever since,
and will soon be returned to us in our
European mails. We are sure that we shall
not hurt Mr.. Bowles's feelings if we state
the facts as they have been related to us by
gentleman who was prcsent--not Mr.
SchurZ.
After the adjournment of the Convention.
according to our informant, number OF
delegates, including Governor KGner and
Colonel Fred Hecker, repaired to the house
of Judge Stallo to dine. They waited some
time for Mr. Schurz, and at last sat down to
dinner without him. The nominations were
discussed, and their eXpediency canyassed,
and, though all present were disappointed
no one rent his garments or lost his appe-
tite. When they had nearly finished dinner
Mr.. Schurz arrived. The usual greetings
took place, and while Mr.. Schurz was taking
his dinner the other guests adjourned to the
parlor. Here Judge Stallo requested his son
to give them some music, and the boy, are
preciating the ludicrousness of the situation
began Chopin's Funeral March, and while
he was thus carrying out private joke
Mr.. SchurzG entered the room. He, too,
appreciated the situation, and eXclaimedrt to
the young man, "Walter, you had better let
me finish thatp' which he did to the renewed
merriment Of all present.
If we have in any way spoiled Mr.. Bowlcs's
romantic incident, we hope he will not grieve
about it, but accept this version as the true
one. and as the most natural version Of what
il sensible man would be apt to do under
like circumstances.

The Nc,rs doubtless supposes that it is not
correct to say "the two first-named places :"
We have been familiar with that particular
| criticism for many. ,years. Some tWenty-odd
| years ago no clergyman in Lexington would
hare dared to say "thc two last stanzis.
Yet there is az good authority for the one
| form of expression as for the other, and
there is no objection to the "tWo last, " which
cannot be Offset by one to the "last two"
Sir WILLIAM BLACKSTONE, in England, and
Hon. X. C. WINTHROP, in this country, 'ue
two among many other distinguished men
who always wrote "the two last."I The
"last five" implies that there is first
fiye,n and "the last 1O1 - that there is a
first 10l." In the sentence quoted by the
Ne,rs there arc but three places named. so
if there be "first two" there can be no
last two" There are two named first,
or else there are not any "frSt hoo."
Necessarily, if there be first two"
it is foolish criticism to object to the phrase
"two first " that there can be only one first;
for if there can be only one " first" it follows
that there can be only first one. So the
Ne,cs'S criticism is turned against itself.
Again In the sentence criticised, either
the word "first" is an adverb, and the word
"named" is verb Ia perfect participle]
which is qualified by it, or else first
numed'' must be parsed as an adjective.
Now, change the form of the sentence but
little and the NIers will see the unwisdom of
its criticism. owe have heard from the two
places first named" That is right. owe
have heard from the two places named first"
That is right. Ergo, owe have heard from
the two frst-named places" is right.
