A Few Law Notes.

COUNSEL AND CL1ENT.-The Albany
Loa0 Journal says that the bill in Par
lament giving counsel the right to sue
their clients for their fees, and clients
the right to sue for negligence or in
competence, "seems to wound the
feelings of the English profession" but
it sees no reason why the contract be-
tween the two should not be placed on
footing with other contracts.
COMPUTATION TICKETS SUI
preme court Of Ohio has decided that
where railroad company sold ticket,
which entitled the purchaser to ride
upon it's cars g certain number of times
within q given period, for price below
the usual rate of fare, which ticket
specified upon it's face that it was only
good during such period, the purchaser,
having failed to ride the specified num-
Der of times within the period named,
is not entitled to ride upon such ticket
after the expiration of the period.
A RAISED CHECK.-Bank No. / certi-
fed that a check drawn upon it for
$1,000 was good, and Bank No. 2, "not
a party to the check" paid it. The
check had been fraudulently raised
from $27. Where must the loss fall
The supreme court of Louisiana says
upon Bank No. L: 1T is the signature
and the amount Of the check which
give it value. It is Of no consequence by
whom the body of the instrument was
written. It often happens that a check
is written by clerk or third person and
signed by the drawer. One of two in
nocent persons must stuff in this case
it world seem but just that he whose
acts have caused the loss, should bear it, >
TITLE SEARCHING.-Ar register, county
clerk or other recorder of deeds, mort
cages, ETC., is liable in damages for q
false certificate of search for encum
brances upon tland, according to a re-
cent decision of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania.
A MARRIED WoMAN's NoTE.-The SUI
preme court of Missouri has decided
that the promissory note of married
woman is a charge upon her estate
without containing any express words
to that effect.

man of the world-of London society
"a passionate lover of the stage, an
amateur actor of no mean merit, one
of the members Of the famous Chel-
tenham dramatic company, a first rate
critic in all things connected with art
and literature, refined and courtly,
courteous gentleman; the best Judge,
in many respects, that my father could
have selected, of my capacity for my
profession and my chance of success
in it. Not till alter the event had JUS
tilted my kind old friends prophecy
did l know that he had witnessed that
mornings performance, and joining
my father at the end of it had said:
Bring her out at once; it will be a
great success"
And SO three weeks from that time
was brought out, and it was "great
success"

An Anticipated Saw.
Bath County (Ky.) News.

There is not in the possession Of ].
G. Maxey, of this county, the most an
tiquated article, we dare say, in the
state. 1t is cross cut saw, or rather
what remains of one, which has been
handed down in his family from the
time of the prosecutions of the Hugue-
nots, in the latter part of the 18th cen
tury. Elder Maxey's ancestors were
amongst the Huguenots who sought an
asylum IN this country, and the saw
above spoken of, which is now fully
300 years old, was brought over from
France at that time, and has remained
in the family ever since. It did gallant
service in those primeval days, and the
scenes it has passed through mot
taking into account the timher) would
form history. We think it is worthy
a conspicuous place at the National
Centennial,

The Egg Trick.

Procure a large egg-Brahma eggs
are the best-and on the large end
draw cross with a lead pencil, and on
the opposite end draw smaller cross
in ink. Place the egg after showing
the children the marks, and permitting
them to examine it carefully, so they
will know it the next time they see it
upon the head of the oldest boy pres
ent, or if there is a grandfather present
with bald head, balance the egg on
his head. Then let one of the company
take a large book and see if he can
strike the egg hard enough to break it.
To the surprise of everybody the egg
will be suppressed at the first blow
Then you can show the person on
whose head it was balanced the two
crosses marked upon the shell to prove
that is the same egg he saw in its en-
tirety, but he will probably be too cross
to have much interest in the matter.
This is not very difficult trick, and
can be easily learned, but care should
be exercised in the selection Of the egg.

Mrs. Kemble's First Trial of the Stage

Here is Fanny Kemble's account,
from the June atlantic, of her first stage
declamation:
A few days after this, my father
told me he wished to take me to the
theatre with him to try whether my
voice was of sufficient strength to fill
the building; so thither Went. That
strange looking place, the stage, with
it's racks of pasteboard and canvas
streets, forests, banqueting halls and
dungeons-drawn apart on either side,
was empty and silent; not soul was
stirring in the indistinct recesses of it's
mysterious depths, which seemed to
stretch indefinitely behind me- In
front, the great amphitheatre, equally
empty and silent, wrapped in it's gray
holland covers, would have been abso-
lutely dark but for a long, sharp, thin
shaft Of light that darted here and
there from some height and distance
far above me, and alighted in sud-
den, vivid spot of brightness on the
stage Set down in the midst of twi-
light space, as it were, with only my
fathers voice coming to me from
where he stood, hardly distinguishable
in the gloom, in those poetical utter
ances of pathetic passion I was seized
with the spirit of the thing; my voice
resounded through the great vault
above and before me, and completely
carried away by the inspiration of the
wonderful play, acted Juliet as I do
not believe | ever acted it again, for I
had no visible, Romeo, and no audience
to thwart my imagination; at least,I
had no consciousness of any, though
in truth I had one. In the back of
one of the private boxes, command
ing the stage but perfectly invisible to
me, sat an old and warmly attached
friend of my fathers, Major D., a

the petition for his friend, which open
ed the way to his high position at
court; and the glove which is shown, is
the same which he remarked in the
solitary house in the forest which led
him to the discovery of the conspiracy,
and thus brought him to princely rank
and the possession of great estates.
How frequently does Divine Provi-
dence make use of the most trifing
articles to guide and to establish the
fortunes of men!

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Snarrow,s Mav-nav.

The Sparrow's May-Day.
BY ALFRED NELSON.
Said Mr.. Sparrow to his wife,
One morning in the early spring
Dear Mrs. s., upon my life,
Eve come across the grandest thing
A brand-new house, with floors to let,
A manSard roof and all complete
Well take floor to-day, my pet.
And you must keep it nice and neat.
The situation is tip-top-
None better wheresOer you hop,
And quite within the reach of all
The windows where the crumbs do fall"
So off they flew in haste to see
The brand new house and, deary me
Didn't they hutter in and out,
Scarce knowing what they were about
Good Mrs, S., with straw in mouth,
Picked out a room that faced the south;
For, very prudently thought she:
"The sun will warm both eggs and me.
But Mr.. Sparrow did declare
The sun would surely scorch her there;
And as the room was very high,
Their little ones would fail and die.
At last they settled with each other
The first floor front to be the best;
And how they did help one another
To build a coy little nest
They both few up, they both flew down,
With threads, and rags, and bits of straw;
They were the busiest birds in town,
And each day buster than before.
AT last, the nest is all complete,
And Mrs. Sparrow stays inside,
And keeps the house SO nice and neat,
That Mr.. S. looks on with pride.
And when the little birds appear,
Won't Mr.. Sparrow hop and sing,
And say to Mrs. S.: "My dear,
Our brand-new house is just the thing !"

Take More Care of the Mind,

If persons of both sexes would pay
more attention to the care of the mind,
our lunatic asylums would be less full
than they are now, and the health Of
the body would be much better pre-
served; for, as Schiller truly says, men
tai pleasure is invariably attended by
animal pleasure, mental pain by animal
pain. 1t is too much the custom for
people to live in one narrow groove Of
thought and action. They consequent
ly have no interest or sympathy for
matters outside their little world, and
having one support to lean on they be-
come utterly demoralized when it fails
them. A change of occupation is as
desirable and beneficial for the mind as
walking is exercise for the body.-Sat-

Origin Of Surnames.

It is interesting to trace some sur
names back to their original meanings.
The name Latimer is writer of Latin;
Barker is synonymous with tanner;
Miner is an old form of miller; Lander
is contraction of lavender, washer
woman; Banister is the keeper of a
bath; Tupman, a name familiar to the
readers of Pickwick Papers" means a
breeder Of rams, which used to be called
tups." The names Spinner, Fuller,
Tucker and Dyer are derived from the
wool manufacture carried on by the
Flemish colonists, who settled in New
England. AS a general rule, says Mr..
Lower, all names terminating with er
are believed to come from the Anglo
Saxon aoer, man; hence Sayter is salt
man; Miller is milman; Webster is the
old feminine form of webber; Spinner,
of spinner; Brewster, of brewer.

Inauguration Day.
From the Catskill Examiner.

When the day for the Inauguration
of the President Of the United States
was fixed upon the 4th of March, it was
for the reason that the date occurred
seldom on Sunday. But twice during
our history has the Inauguration day
day fallen on that day. The first was
the second inaugural James Monroe,
the Fifth President, March 4, 1921.
The second was when Zachary Taylor
was made President, March 4, 1841.
Being Sunday, his inauguration did not
take place until the next day. The third
will be the next inaugural, March 4,
1877. This will happen three times
during each century, or one year after
every seven leap years. Except when
passing from one century to another,
there is a slight variation, as will be
observed in the following dates Of the
past and future inaugurations, of the
