done in a very thorough and lengthy
manner, and 50 well did the candidate
acquit himself that Mr.. Butler took oc-
casion in recommending him TO the
court TO suggest the remarkable manner
in which he had acquitted himself, and
to point him out TO the students and
young members of the bar as an exam
pie of thorough training. So much
was said that Choate (whO had been
present during a portion of the exam
ination) took him by the hand and con-
graduated him on what he had so young
accomplished.
Such an achievement, at the age Of
about 2l years, based on his own works
and merits, was no mean beginning.
He had chosen the right road and was
making rapid strides towards his life
work. He had acquired the knowledge
Of all the languages essential to his
profession, and in addition, to that, he
knew the French language so as TO be
able to read ii readily and speak it flu
emily, eXcelling, perhaps, any other
man at the bar in this respect. To add
variety to his knowledge of the law, he
went to Judge Sanborn's office in Sher-
brooke (then Sanborn & Brooks) and
read Canadian law there, and with what
earnestness and zeal he appropriated
the principles contained in Judge San
born's library, let the sayings both pub
lie and private Of that distinguished
man attest. Thus, having supplied
himself with a well-stored mind, ant
being keenly alive to the amenities o.
professional and private life, equipped
as he was, he prepared to start for the
great West. But the hopes Of friend.
began to gather around him, and the
incidents of his young life were becom
ing so knit to the lives of his friend,
that they were averse to letting him go

Great Gun.

Some progress has already been male
in the royal English gun factories at
WooIwich arsenal in the manufacture
of the experimental SO.tOn gun, which
is intended to furnish data for the con
stru, tion of the guns Of the Inhexible.
The length of the gun over all will be
" feet, the bore being a feet long.
The calibro will be If inches, IL inches,
and l6 inches successfully, the gnu be-
ing bored mp after each series of expert
ments. The 14,inch cllibre will take a
proiectle of LOO lbs, firing maxi
mum charge of about 100 lbs of special
ly manufactured powder; the 15-inch
will take 400 h shot and about 2i5
lbs of powder; the lG.inch will throw a
| ,G5O-ih shot, with about 300 lbs of pow
der. The heaviest gun now in the SER
vice, II 80 tons (Woolwich Iufant), can
pierce Is inches of iron at the muzzle !;
the ranges at which the proiectiles for
the 80 ton gun will perform the same
feet will be-for the 1l-inch shot, $500
wards for the 15.inch shot, 5000 yards;
aud for the 16-inch shot, ,500-nearly
four miles. At fighting range of 500
Yards the Woolwich Infant will pene-
trate If inches of iron; but the so ton
gun, with # inch calibre, will pierce
alb ont 7 inches; with the 10 inch, about
49, inches and with the Is inch, about
90 inches. The maximum range at which
shells could be thrown into fortress
will be--for the 12-inch, about 5000

The head bobbed down again. Mag
gle reseated herself. She knew this
could not last long that there must be
a conflic. before long. 1t was as she
supposed. A moment more and the
coffin was empty, and a ferocious young
fellow sat on its edge, and thus ad-
dressed her:
owe meant to do it all quiet" he
snid, "and / don't want to frighten old
women. Just put them down"
"Pm not frightened, said Maggie.
"Pm coming to take them things
away from you," said the man.
"Comc," said Maggie.
He advanced onestep. She took aim,
and he dDdged, but a bullet went
through his left arm, and it dropped by
his side.
Furious with pain, he dashed toward
her, She fired again, aud this time
wounded him in the right shoulder,
Faint, and quite helpless, he staggered
against the wall.
"There, you've done it, old woman"
he said. "Open the door and let me
out My game is up"
"Mine isn't" said old Maggie. "Get
back into your coffin again. or this time
I'll shoot you through the heart"
The burglar looked piteously at her,
but he saw no mercv in her face. He
went back to the coffin and lay down in
it. Blood dropped from his wounds,
and he was growing pale. Maggie did
not want to see him die before her eyes,
but she did not dare go for aid To
leave the house before daybreak would
be to meet this mans companions, and
risk her own life. There was nothing
for it but to play the surgeon herself,
and in little while she had stopped
the blood and saved the burglars life.
More than this-she brought him cup
of tea, and fed him with it as if he had
been baby. Nothing, however, could
induce her to let him out of his coffin.
About one or two o'clock she heard
steps outside, and knew that the other
burglars were near, but her stout heart
never quailed. She trusted in the bars
and bolts. and they did not betray her.
The daylight found her sitting quiet
ly beside her wounded burglar, and the
milkman, bright and early, was the am
hassador who summoned the officers of
Justice.
When the bridal party returned next
day the house was neat and tidy, and
Maggie, in her best alpaca, told the
news in laconic fashion.
Frightened !" she said, in answer to
the sympathetic eiaculations of her new
mistress. Frightened Oh, no Fear
wasn't born in me-"
