DICKENS LAWYERS,
The Great Noyelist's Various Types Of the Pro-
feSSIOn

The Great Novellst's Various Types Of the Pro-
fessiOn.
Mr.. Jaggers himself is one OF Dickens
| most fslicltous characterizations In the
| law department OF what we Ia Septem-
ber magazinist] have called Dickens
Iand. II is astonishing that his limited
experience as an apprentice in an attor-
ney's Off e should have furnished him
with 81 many sharply defined types OF
the English lawyer, through all the
grades o. the profession, from Sampson
Brass, in sThe Old Curiosity Shop" all
the way up to the bland Lord Chancel-
lor who figures SO gracefully in "Bleak
House."
He Introduces scores OF lawyers into
his various rOmances, and shows su-
peril ,,al knowledge, at least, Of the jar
gon which distinguishes their language
from the English language, and OF the
moral qualities which distinguish their
legal nature from ordinary human ma
ture; but he also discrimInates clearly
between the different classes into which
the profession ls divided, and, while
preserving the general features OF each
class, sharply indiVidua!IZes every per-
son included in it-tnat is, every per-
SON who seems deserving Of place In
his va lery Of original characters.
Thus Stryyer, III "a Tale Of Two
Clues," belongs, like Jaggers, to CLASS
of dOmineering legal bailles, anu they
might, upon a superficial observation,
be c0nsidel ed as pretty much alike; but
as represented by Dickens they are Very
far apart i'll Individual character, ana
can not We more contounded by any
realer whose imagination has been once
stamped with the image OF either. The
in nl
tact that the idea, purpose and atmos-
phere VI the Two romances are widely
different.
STyVer comes into "a Tale OF Two
ClIIes" chiefly as the advocate OF an
honest man accused of high treason.
JaIgers comes lnLO "Grent EXprcta-
tlons" as 1ne legal center Ol Story
where the criminal or wortules- cnarAc-
ters are Ill the majority, aud where the
innocent persons are all involved in a
mesh Ui Contradictions, arlslng from
low villainIes Of which they are the VIC
Tins.
rne otfenses in the one romance are
polilical; tecunlGal crimes wnlcu are
universally knoWn to be often the hign-
est expression Of noble virtues. In TIC
other, me crimes are suCn Us all civil
,zGu mankind repudlates, anu the per-
ueuratOrs Of which are persons who can
be saved from ueaJu o. transportation
,nly by the in exposition OF suCu IL - :
leis as MI. JaggerS, vXertlng their iorce
and ierOclty, thelr ingenuity and KNOW
euge of technical forms, on behali Of the
| crImlual's Legal rlguLs."

STRAWBERRIES FOR FORCING.

Now is the time to pot runners for
forcing straw berries. The Triom phe de
Gand is the kind generally used for this
purpose. Take Two a4d one-halt inch
pots, plunge them with a trowel level
with the ground, let the first runners
slrike into them and pinch the runners
beyond the first plant; when well rooteu Il
transplant to tiye-inch pots, and alter
wards to eight-lncb, keeping wei.
watered. After the first fIosts the pot
should be well covered, and can be taken
into the forcing house in February
ruit is wanted in April. A very simp pie
and excellent way to force few straw
berries so as to have them TWO weeks OF
more earlier than the out-ol-door crOp
is TO plant the runners in sheltered
place as taken from the small pots it,
August, eighteen Inches apart, anu
water The bed well If the weather IL dry,
suffering no runners to grow. In No
vember put down plank on each side ol
the bed, as II for u hot-bed, SIX feel
apart, and then cover witn leaves OF
sedge TO protect them from winter
Rake off the covering and put on the hot
Ded sash about April l, and use mats IA
night; air we'll b. day, and about April
10 take of he glass entirely and pull Vi,
the plank so as to give the plants all tn
light and air possible. They will fruit
two or three weeks earlier tban in the
feld.

A YACHTS WOMAN.

There is little or no atfectation about
the yaGhtSwoman, save III the matter OF
nautical requirement. She is Especially
proud of her skill in boxing the COM
pass, will take her "trick" at the tilIer,
or ''take a slgnp as well as the smarLe S /
of midshipmen. Moreover, she is
weather-wIse, and can appraise the
promise of '.blt of blue" or OF q cloud
no bigger than mans hand, to nicely,
aud with due reference to tue quarter Of
the wind. She is mplainIng under
adverse circumstances, and bears the
"Nlld nor th astep and the siroccO with
equal serenity. Only thuse who have
cruised with the genuine yachtswoman
can truly appreciate her. Tne conui-
tions of yacuLlng incline, perhaps, to
make her somewhat OVermucn "bon
cumarade," and TO promote frankness
hot 10 say lOudness-of tone. Her de-
tractors assert that She Can, and under
extreme circumstances will, "swear
like trooper" She must know how to
"cuss,' for while in harbor she hears
per orce much rough language; but l
solemnIy affirm, with my hand on HUNTS
Yachting Magazine, that l have never
neard her exhibit her proficiency in this
branch of nautical learning All the
Year Round.

TIE NEW STYLE OF GIRLS.

A writer in the Newark y. J.) Ad-
yertiser argues that dellcacy, tender
ness, the fragile and the hectic, are
pretty well out OF fashion. Scroiula is
no longer merit and attraction. These
bodily evils naturally concentrate al
watering places, as much because the
family want them out of the house as
tor any other reason. BuJ the race of
young people now growing up are
another lot altogether. The careful OBJ
server VINO watches the step of the
school girl or sewing girl here In New
ark will notice spring and elastic step
ii cneery face, rapid pace, busy ar
and IA general Aeallh. Tue present
scrimped and close form of dress, the
garments cllnging nOdestly to the form,
tell the story OF robust and shapeIy
limbs. This is what may be seen all
along the streets, and we verify believe
that the average OF health among
women is better now than for gene
ration before. They are taller n growth
fuller in form, and happier in expires
sion. Their race is improving, not lhIi-
ing off. And why? rney are part OF
the system Of modern improvements.
They live in sWeeter rooms, nave better

THE BRUSH-TURKEY,

a family OF Australian birds, which
are tile most anomalous ot all in Lnelr
habits, are the bruss.- .urkeys, which we
may look upon as supplying the pace OF
tue pheasant and grouse, and whose
unique domestic economy is Especially
adj pied Tor the peculiar couulL.ouS Of
Australian existence. The mother of Il

THE PYRACANTH THORN.

This Is not, as some have supposed, a
native OF our Southern States, though it
is occasionally found growing wild there.
Il is from Southern Europe, and having
been long in cultivation, us seeds have
been distributed by birds, and it is nat
uralized to some extent. 1t is service
able and most beautiful hedge plant, but
it's ordinary form, with red berries, can
not be depended upon as thoroughly
hardy in this climate. 1t sometimes
happens that variety of plant is more
hardy than its normal form, and the Py
racaEth is all instance of this. The So
called White-trulted (but really yellow
ish) variety is much more hardy, and
may be SAFELY planted in more severe
climate than that OF New England,
Where it is hardy, as it Is in Virginia
and southwark, nothing can be liner
than the red-berried form, as the fruit is
exceedingly brilliant IN winter, but those
living farther north must be content
with less snowy fruit. Both bear CUT
ting well, and form compact hedge.
