Adams was not alone in denounclng duels

What is n HHentleman :"

The London Daily Telegraph says: "What
is gentleman 2 is question almost use
less to ask in safety, for it is practically in
soluble, and leads to endless discussions as
to birth, moral worth. mental accons;@ish-
ments and conventional manners But the
lawyers have got hold of it now, and last
week four of our best judges-Coleridg
Heating, Grove and Denman - debated
heartily the pros and cons of the disputed
point The case arose through the descrip-
ton in legal document Of a retired lawyers
clerk. who acted occasionally in the capacity
of writer as gentleman.
No doubt, accuracy of description is ex-
tremely useful, and may be essential in mat
ters of law So the four judges granted q
rule on the prima facie ground that the word
so applied Was inaccurate insufficient or
wrong One counsel commended that he
ought to have been called letter writer or
debt collector, while judge pointed out that
if indicted for any otfense he would be called
"a labOrer. It appeared in evidence that at
the time he was employed in what is called
winding up an estate, but estate winder' is
not calling in any directory We know.
In one quoted case the judges held that
govern nent clerk ought not to be described
as gentleman, a decision that may dismay
some of the young patricians who take the
Q1eens pay in West End offices, and would
especially shock Thackeray S Rawlins, Rawlins,
Esq, of the Foreign Office, who was such an
ass and respectable At the previous
hearing of the case Mr.. Talfourd asserted
that the term would include anybody who
had nothing to do and was out of the work.
house This, we humbly think, is going
little too far; for it comprises shabitual
thieves, mendicants and persons in the re-
ceipt OF outdoor relief.
Some of the judges inclined to the belief
that this handy mai who worked at all kinds
of odd jobs ought to have been descris ed as
OF mo occupation because he attached him
self permanently to none The awkwardness
OF the whole question arises from two causes
the desire OF some persons with democratic
occupations to pass in society for persons of
higher standing, or to conceal their connec-
tons with new callings that as yet have no
recognized status.
The best final solution might be to reject
the legal status OF the word The means of
livelihood generally supply the best indica-
tlons; men are landowners, farmers, fund
holders, shareholders, ETC., and ssw cases can
not be covered by titles of this kind. In
truth, gentleman ought to be, not a legal
style, bat title of honor given by society.
and, therefore. affixed according to the vary
ing standards Of place, circumstances or time.
It's retention in law papers when the
proper use of the term is so perplexed is ant
to be a snare"

Richard Brinsley Sheridan on Military
Interference.

| To the Editor of the Courier-Journal:
Reading "Wits and Humorists," published
1872, author Jno limbs, f. S. A., London,
the following extract from Sheridan speech
in Parliament, on ''For the better regulation
of the Police of Westminster" attracted me,
and wildly recalled some of your late edito-
rails. It was delivered on the 9Th of March,
| 1871. Says the author ''His chief OBJ
ject being to expose the unconstitutional
| exercise of the perogative that had been as
sumed in employing the military to suppress
the late riots C7S0), without waiting for the
authority of the civil power"
| Says Sheridan: &C If this doctrine was to be
laid down that the crown could give orders to
the military to interfere, when, where, and
for what length of time it please, then we
| might bid farewell to freedom. Ii this was
| the law, then we sh Duld be reduced to mill
tary government of the very worst species. in
which we should have all the evils of des-
potic State without the discipline or the secu-
rity. But we are given to understand that
we had the best protection against this evil in
the virtue, the moderation and the constitu-
tional principles Of the sovereign. No man
upon the earth thought with more reverence
than himself Of the virtues and moderation of
the sovereign: but this was a species of liber-
ty which he trusted would never disgrace an
English soil. The liberty that rested upon
the virtuous inclination of any one man was
but suspended despotism; the sword was not
indeed, upon their necks, but it hung by the
small and brittle thread of human will"
How opposite that epoch to these times
Do you suppose that Gen. P. Sheridan is a
descendant of the great Richard Brinsely :
If so, great God ! what descent! \.

Inc lecture was an able criticism OF
the material progress of the world, al
the expense of its spiritual progress
and the lecturer deprecated the grow

Divine things. The necessity of some
power to counteract this tendency, WA
dwelt upon, and the Catholic churci

The lecture was listened to with grea
attention, and may be considered il
