"s1AxING AN ENAsPLE"-THE TROUBLES
or A NEW YORK LAWYER.

The cases OF Antoinette Waller against
Anton Sudthaler aud Maria Lackman
against Henry Gilbert were tried on FIJI.
day, in the Marine Court. New York,
before Judge Mker. The complaints in
these cases were for alleged indecent as
saults said 10 have bees committed upon
the plaintiffs. Henry F. Pepper, attorney
for the plaintiffs, Jailed 10 state in the
complaint what Offences were committed.
Mr.. j. {. Julius .l.augbien, counsel for
the defendants. interposed demurrers to
the complaints, and argued before Chief
Justice Shea that this omission was a
fatal defect. Jhe Judge sustained the
demurrer, with $50 costs in each case.
Mr.. Langbein. in the course of his argu
ment, remarked that q certain class oil
so. called lawyers practised in our courts,
who arrested married men with families
on charges OF indecent assaults, alleged
to have been committed on servant girls,
aud when an attorney appeared to defend,
finding that no money could be extOrted
from the defendants, the case was drop
ped. The Judge stated that he would
make IN examination of such men, and
told AR. Langbein TO insert in the order
to show cause why Mr. Pepper should not
individually pay these costs. Mr.. Pepper
did not appear on tho argument of the
demurcrs. nor on the return day OF the
order to show cause. The Judge then
made an order for him to pay the costs
within iive days, or show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt in
refusing TO pay them. Mr.. Pepper ap-
peared aud asked Tor an adjournment
from Judge McAdam, which was refused,
the Judge holding that he could not 90
behind the contempt. An order for COM
mi,meut was then granted, ordering Mr..
Pepper to pay $40 costs as fine, and $40
costs in each case. The latter employed
cx-Judge Curtis, who made = motion to
vaca;e aud set aside the order Tor com
mitment. This motion WAS argued, Fri
day, eX.Judge Curtis eontendins that the
court had no power to compel an attorney
TO pay costs in an action, an therefore the
order tor commitment, he argued, was
null and void. Mr. LAngbein, for the
defendants, coutendel that through MIR.
Peppers ignorance and careleSsness his
clients were placed in position to pay
these costs. and they being irresponsible,
Mr.. Pepper should pay them. lie cited

have seen this man drink eighteen glasses

1t is proper enough to say that man kept

in stating what was not strictly thus.

Il any man shud tell me that lager beer

Memory Of Faces.

When g man has the painters
faculty of recollecting faces, and
with.it quick and retentive memory
of small facts, the combination
gives him great social power. This
was Macaulay's case. He never
forgot the face of a man whom he
had met in society, and with the
face he remembered all the salient
facts connected with t7e owner of
it. Few things are more flattering
to an ordinary mortal than being
thoroughly remembered by great
lion with whom he had perhaps had
a brief interview several years be-
fore. l doubt if this faculty exists
to any great extent among our
public men; indeed, | have often
been surprised at the absence of it.
A Russian baron of the true divine
right school once maintained to me
that this was an effect of republican
institutions, or, what came to the
same thing, that the Opposite was
the result of monarchical institu'
tions. He said that king and
painces were obliged to see great
many persons, wherefore Provid'
dence had conferred On them sariou:
means of being gracious to those
persons, of which prompt recogni'
ton was one.-Galary.

Cooperative Convicts.

Some of the leading writer's, both
at home and over STA. think they
perceive that TIE farming Of the
future will be largely cooperative.
A company will own mauy thou
sand acres steam engines will do
a large portion of the heavy work
the cattle raised will be butchered
on the farm and sent directly to
market in refrigerated cars ; butter
and cheese will be made in factor
les, and one agent will do all the
buying and selling. AS the wooden
and cotton factories have superceda
ed the necessity for home weaving
of cloth, so this large farm system
will break up small farms, and
people will live in towns and cities.
This plan looks we'll enough at first
view, bat very practical farmer
knows lh 1t it would fail at present
at least. for want Of faithful and
skillful labor, since all such labor
is working for itself, and it will be
generally agreed that man who is
without sufficient energy to get
land himself and to put it in a
fine state of cultivation is wholly
untitled to work in a cooperative
capacity, where many opportunities
for shlrking are presented, and
which will certainly be improved.
What might be done in this way
is for the State to establish large
farms to be titled by criminals and
vagrants. /. is undoubtedly true
that there are enough Of the idle,
half criminal class in our country,
living in cities and Villages, and
ready to prey 1pon property, to
raise bread sufficient to support all
the sick, infrm, and unfortunate in
the land, and thus remove from
honest labor heavy burden. We
are not yet civilized enough, nor
courageous enough to strike at this
grand nursery of criminals certain
ly ought to be put upon farms and
BE- made to love work, and to be
come so efficient as agricultural
labors that, at the expiration of
their term, they will be so self
reliant and helpful that they can
find work in almost any place, and
they will have no inducement to
return to vicious courses. The
Irish system established at Lusk,
near Dublin, is SO successful that
when a convict's time expires he is
in immediate request by some
ighboring farmer. The State
has ample labor at command in its
criminals to bring into cultivation
many thousand acres of land.
which by the opening of swamps-
furnishing tillage, would present
models to farmers everywhere and
which by the humanizing influence
of the occupation would be ilstru>
mental in developing the moral
sentiments, and prepare the way
for not only making vagrants self
supporting but even useful to the
world.

A Plan for Elecfing President

The Senate Committee on Privi~
leges and Elections will soon make
a unanimous report il favor Of
Constitutional amendment chang
ing the method of electing Press
dent and Nicc-Prcsident Of the
United States. The plan recom>
mended will be substantially that
proposed by Senator Morton. It
proposes to divide crch State into
districts corresponding to, or of
similar character with, the present
Congressional Districts. Each one
Of these districts, is to have one
vote for President, the result Of
which shall be certified to the See
retary of State by the proper cleo
ton officers. In addition to this
each State is to be allowed two
vo:es, which shall be counted either
for the candidate having a majority
of the votes cast in the State, or
for him who carries majority Of
the districts. Another feature Of
the proposed legislation is pro-
Vision for tribunal to adjudlcate
all questions arising out Of ar eIec
tion for the Office Of President and
Fice>Presiient. There is no prea,
ent indication of a long discussion
on this people amendment. If
there is any division in the Senate
when the question comes up, it viii
be upon the manner Of accomplish
ing the object sought, and not
upon the necessity Of the reform
proposed.

gives this warning on the impo! tant
mater of using sedatives for little
ones: "One Of the great dangers
attending the use Of the various
Sedatives employed in the nursery
Is, thAt they leni to prdouce the
opium habit. These qa4ck uedi>
cines owe their soothing and quiet
ing effects to the action of opium,
and the infant is by them given =
morbid appetite for narcotic s,imu-
lants. The offering for sale Of such
nostru'ns should be prohibited, as
tending to the physical aud moral
deterioration of the race. In India
mothors give to their infants sugar

result is languil, sensual race Of
