LORD ELDoNs JUDICIAL CAREER.

The career OF a distinguished lawyer
always presents very much the same
teatures-early struggles, more or less
long according TO the faVors OF oppor-
tunIty ana the brilliancy OF talent, then
an extensive practice, seat in the
House of Commons, the posts OF Solici-
tor General and Attorney General, Il
Lord Chief Justiceship, or the blue rib
bon OF the Bar, the Office of Lord High
Chancellor. Through these stages
passed the fortunate John Scott. He
Joined the Northern Circuit, displayed
mis- solid abilities and sound knowledge
of the law in one great case, became IN
Undated with briefs, was elected Tor
Weobly, made fool OF himself i'll his
maiden speech, as 80 many before him
had done, and then won the ear OF the
House, not by his oratory or rhetoric,
but by the soundness of his Judgment
and the acuteness of his penetration.
He became Solicitor General in 17S8,
Attorney General five years later, was
raised to the bench as Lord Chief JUS
tice Of the Common Pleas in 1893, and
ennobled as Baron Eldon, Of Etdon, in
the County of Durham. Between the
years 1891 and 1876, and 1907 and 1927, he
held the Great Seal, and, on the corona
tion Of George Nv, was created Vlseount
Eneombe and Earl of Eldon. Then,
early in the first month OF 1888, he bade
farewell to his titles aud passed to his
rest. When we read his life in tue
charming pages of Twiss, what series
Of lriumphs IN his career, how equal be
is to every occasion, how easily he
avails himself Of every opportunity
Can romance weave tissue ot greater
improbabilities--a rough northern lad,
OF no lofty parentage, with no powerful
friends, simply by the sheer force Of in

HOT WATER FOR INJURIES AND BRUISES

The New York Medical Journal re-
ports this case:
"The patient was engaged in a ma
chine shop, and while his hand was upon
the anvil OF a trip-hammer, the hammer
weighing seven hundred pounds-fell.
1t so happened that a file was on the am
vii, and in this way the force Of the ham,
mer was arrested about half an inch be-
fore it reached it's bed. When the hand
was examined it was found that the
whole palm was mass of pulp. The
metaearpal bones were commanded ex-
tensively, and there was apparently but
small chance of saving the hand. II
was, however, placed in hot water, and
kept there for two or three weeks, and
then taken out and dressed. In three
months the patient was sufficiently well
to leave the hospital, and now-nine
months after the accident-he Is able to
move the fingers, and has quite useful
hand"
Bruises and injuries do much better
when treated with hot than with cold
water. The temperature should be
about 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another case is reported OF compound
fracture and dislocatou OF the ankle
JOINT, In which the pr0ximal end OF the
1rst metatarsal bone protruded from the
loot. The dislocation was reduced and
the foot placed in hot water. AT the end
of q week il was taken out and dressed
in the ordinary manner. The iootis now
doing well, aud promises gDod !esul t.

AN EEL MINE.-It was discovered a
few days ago, by cutting through the
ce in Cowesett Bay, nearly opposite
Chippewanoxette beach, that eels were
inlbedded very thick in that locality,
and since then the ice has been covered
with fishermen, ardently engaged in the
sport or labor of spreading them. One
man took one hundred and lorty OF these
slippery fish from one hole; another got
owe hundred and twenty that weighed
sixty pounds. One fisherman took out
seyenty-f five in, eight MINUTES. Some
men have taken as nigh as one hundred
aud fifty pounds in a day. They are Of
excellent size, and bring from to
cents per pound, wholesale. They are

less than three tuns have been taken

STANLEY MATTHEW'S ON THE
CURRENCY QUESTION.

4 batch OF re2olutions, said TO have
been presented to caucus of members
Of the Ohio convention by Stanley
Matthews, has created quite a stir IN
Republican circles-not his position,
for this Is In accord with the general
sentiment OF the Western States, but
that one so close to the PRESIDENT his
intimate friend aud supposed adviser,
should entertain views so dissinilar
to those Of President Hayes and secre-
tary Sherman. A Areporter Of the Gin
einnati Commercial has called upon Mr..
Matthews for correct statement as to
the propositions referred 20, which are
substantially Is follows: That the
present business distress of the country
is largely due to an apprehension on
the pa-t af TIE public that The contin-
ued and increasing decline OF values

demonstrated the folly and the danger
of government interference in such
matters. Plunder was the leading
idea then, and, backed by the govern
uent, the substance of the South was
absorbed by bureau agents, until both
employees and employers we're utterly
impoverished; and now the Ohio
Republicans would have another
bureau. If Congress permits its estsb-
lishment and Chief Joseph only spares
the precious life of Gen. Howard,
there may be established a bureau in
Pennsylvania and OHIO, with gradu-
ated officers, such as would surpass
anything yet known. Jay Gould and
Tom Scott, with millions vt their COM
mand, would have wages so reduced
as to enable the Pennsylvania Central
and the Erie to pension everybody
bearing the name of Howard. Bureau
officials could then, as when money was
used at the South, place the thumb
screws upon employees and make them
more than ever abject slaves Of those
who would control thsm. Capital
would be supreme in Pennsylvania,
and the railroad employee that dared
maintain contrary opinion to the pious
Beecher and ask for more than dollar
a day would probably be placed in
the stocks, as Howard's agents used to
do, until the price of release was ob-
tanned. The South is quiet and its
whites and blacks, under home rule,
are contented and happy, and growing
ia prosperity, and the best feeling
exists between its railroad employers
and employees, but having had some
experience with bureaus we would see
the people of the North protected
against them. ThIs time, it is
hoped, Congress will not he lead
by money to pass a measure that
will make slaves of laboring
men and despots of railroad officials.
Let not Congress, though wealth de-
mand 1t, lend itself to g measure that
would bring everlasting disgrace upon
the name of our people, and prepare
the way for serfdom more debasing
than once existed in Russia. Let it
not organize system dictated by men
whose purpose it is to use their influ-
ence Rot only fur plunder, but for the
establishment of a tyrsnuical power
that would move in all things to suit
their ends.
