seastly Poetry in Lsw Form. e

As Judge Lindley's pamphlet on
Codification is going through the press
at the HERALD once, enough is gath
cred from glimpse Of it, to show that
he is doing his work In an analytical
style, and in q manner that indicates
q full comprehension of his subject,
and consciousness of the difficulties
of illustrating what might seem to be
abstract rules for Codification. There
is one illustration, which, though it
lets down a little from the general
gravity of the work, is still so demon
strative Of q great fault In framing
law, that we cannot resist the tempta-
ticn, even before the work is COM
pleted from the, press, to clip 1t for the
columns Of the HERALD.
COLLABORATION OF RULE viii.
"RULE VIII. Generalize and clas-
sify. Include many individuals in spe-
cies terms; many species In group
terms, when it can be done with GER
tainty.
1--WE commence the illustration Of
this Rule, by presenting Secs. $50 and
4S7, T3, Penal Code, which are as fol-
lows bAASS k@
"SEC. $50. (S65.) Every person
who marks or brands, alters, or de-
faces the mark or brand Of any horse,
mare, colt, jack, jennet, mule, bull, OK,
steer, cow, calf, sheep, goat, hog, shoat
or pig belonging to another, with in
tent thereby to steal the same or to
prevent Identification thereof by the
true owner, is punishable by impris-
onment In the State Prison for not less
than one nor more than five years.
"SEc. 4s7. (f3.) When the prop
erty taken Is q horse, mare, gelding,
COW, steer, bull, calf, mule, jack, jenny,
goat, sheep, or hog.
"In expression, we prefer to steer
clear of:
" Bull, steer, OK, heifer, calf and COW,
Hog, boar, barrow, shoat, pig and sow,
Horse, stallion, gelding, colt and mare,
Hinny and mule--a hybrid pair,
Jenny, jennet, jackass and jack,
Ram, eve, wether, lamb, white and
black, aea .Fa
Goats, male and female, young and old,
All domestic beasts, yet untold;
and call them all by their ginertc
names, or put them all in one grand
division and call them dnimals, and
form the Section thus:
"SEc. $50. Every person who marks
or brands, or alters or defaces mark
or brand on an animal, the property
of another, with intent to steal the
same, or to prevent Its Identification
by the owner, is guilty of felony, fe
= "If there is any question as to suf--
ficient certainty in the phrase ami
NAL, the property Of another we
would define the word animal thus:
"The word animal, as used in the
Codes, unless q different meaning is
apparent from the context, includes
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and goats;
also, the young and male and female
Of each; also, mules and hinnys."
After discussing in critical style
the language Of the Section, the fol-
lowing passage occurs: a
"It Is supposed, however, that the
slayman' understands these things,
to certainty, though the professional
reader may not. On this question of
certainty, 1t will undoubtedly take a
.layman' to tell where 'hog' ends
and 'shoat' begins, or where shoat
ends and pig begins, when calf be-
comes steer, when steer becomes an
OK"
His, is evidently . novel mode of
directing attention to the point. His
poetry may be brutal, but his illustra-
tion is complete.

THE telegraph brings the news of Ba-
zaine's conviction, and sentence to
death. 1t seems hard that after forty
two years ofhonorable service and high
command, brave soldier should suf-
fer such ignominy, but there can
scarcely be doubt, that the Marshal,
In his devotion to the interests of Ma
poleon, forgothis allegiance to France,
and sacrificed the armies Of the young
Republic in the vain hope of further

Such being the case, his judges could
do nothing less than condemn him to

and President MacMahon will, no

By a private letter from Chicago we
learn that Mr.. HARRISON, the great bee
man Of, s6outhern iCaiifornia, who
shipped 25,000 pounds Of box honey to
thatcity some time since, has realized
500 more than tho San Francisco
price, on his .vsntnrs. ) This is an item
Of great Importance to the bee-grow-
ers Of Los Angeles county, and shows
that our products are even better ap-
preciated abroad than at home. Quite
number Of persons are engaged ex-
clusively in the rearing Of bees, and
where the business has been pursued
with anything IKE ordinary intelli-
gence and paraeverance, 1t has ,proven
very remunerative. In fact for the
amount of capital invested, and the
attention required, we, doubt II any
business instAe. county has paid better.
The reputation of Los Angeles honey
is so we'll established, and the demand
for it il SO steAdy and great, that the
business Of producing 1t offers superior
Inducements to men Of small means.
The buSfness Of those engaged In it up
: to the present time, does not afford
very good criterion to judge BY, the
producers for the most part employing
only the rldests and simplest hives,
and reaping . comparatively small re-
turn. Asfew however, who understand
