The new hydrant on Water street. connecting
with the Kennebec riyer,was tested on "Wednesday
evening. and proved success. After
connecting the suction hose of the Torrent engine
with the by vibrant, water was drawn and expelled
with much force after about twenty strokes of the
brakes; aud there can be no doubt of the utility
of this arrangement. With three or four of these
bydrants on Water street, our city would have
all facilities requisite for protection OF property
on Water and Second streets. The cost of lay

with the building of reservoirs of equal capacity
and the saving of leading hose Is an item OF no

voiced pets of the public had
touched the highest measure of
sparkling fulness. What, remarked
the average nobility-struck Ameri-
can maiden Of the period, could
woman desire more? To be bar
oness, joy! To be a marchioness,
bliss! but a dukess," angels and
ministers of Grace Church defend
MS! cherubim and seraphim would
not be a circumstance.
The cases of these three ladies,
all beautiful, popular, and at the
head of their profession, are by no
means singular. Indeed, it would
appear that marriages for title,
position, wealth, or even love, out
side of the profession, seldom turn
out satisfactorily. The true artist
is in reality the slave Of her art.
She cannot serve two masters. If
she serves the public and waits
upon its smiles she can scarcely
hope to please the exacting taste Of
man whose prejudices and ideas
Of domestic life are entirely antag-
onistic to her own. Cases there
have been of actresses marrying
noblemen, bidding adieu to the
stage and adorning the new sphere
into which fate had called them
but these are rare. Judging from
the general experiences of the the
atrical world, artists have the best
chance Of happiness who wed either
With some one in their own particu-
lar line, or connected directly OF
indirectly with the dramatic OF
musical profession. This may not
be the true solution of a problem
which has often caused the public
considerable speculation, but it is
the only one we can hit upon just
now, and is not unworthy Of con-
sideration.

of Baron RothschiId:
During the trouble of 1S4S, the
great financier was one morning at
work when two citizens, very dirty,
but burning with the ardor OF fra
ternity, and armed to the teeth, en-
tered his study, to which a stately
butler had in vain attempted to bar
the way. "Well, gentlemen, what
can l do for you?" demanded Roths-
schild. "This," they briefly replied: {:
" You have millions. The people
starye. You must share with us,
or"-"Be it So" promptly respond
ed the baron; "but first, what is
the population of France?"
"Thirty millions" "And what do
you suppose is the amount of my
fortune?" "Oh, we daresay you
have S15O,OOOOOO francs" every

Divide $50 by 30, and you have

Dean swift on Lawyerp.

CULVER in his voyage to the
Houyhums, being questioned by
his master as to the nature and
practices Of the law, made the fol-
lowing wise observations:
"T'here was a society of men
among us bred up from their youth
in the art Of proving that white is
black and black is white, according
as they are paid, To this society
all the rest Of the people are slaves.
"The judges are persons ap-
pointed to decide all controversies
Of property as well as for the trial
Of criminals, and picked out from
dextrous lawyers who have grown
old or lazy, and having been biased
all their lives against truth and
equity, lie under such fatal ne
cessity of favoring fraud, perjury,
and oppression, that l have known
some of them refuse a large bribo
from the side where justice lay
rather than injure the faculty by
doing anything unbecoming their
nature or their Office.
1t is a maxim among these law
yers that whatever has been done
before may legally be done again,
and therefore they take special care
to record all the decisions formerly
made against common justice and
the reason of mankind. These
under the name of precedence they
prodhce as authority to justify the
most iniquitous opinions, and the
judges never fail of directing ac-
cordingly.
"In pleading they studiously
avoid entering into the merits Of
a case, but are loud, violent, and
tedious in dwelling upon all circum,
stances which are not to the pur-
pose.
"It is likewise observed that this
society has a peculiar cant and jar
gon of its own that no other mortal
can understand, and wherein all
their laws are written, which they
take special care to multiply; where
by they have fully confounded the
very essence of truth and falshood,
of right and wrong.
ain all points out of their own
trade they are usually the most ig-
norant and stupid generation
among us, the most despicable in
common conversation, avowed ene-
mics to all knowledge and learning,
and equally disposed to perveyt the
general reason of mankind in every
other subject of discourse as in their
own"
