CAlARLES READE.

Few Englishmen, and yet fewer Ameri.
cans are aware that Mr. Charles Reads is
limb of the law as well as of letters. He
is so, and q member of Lincoln's Inn
owing to the exigencies of his Fellowship,
which afforded him the alternative of Di-
vinity, Physic, or Law. From his pro-
nounced partiality for doctors-in the
realm of fotion-it might be presupposed
that he had dabbled in medical science or
socialism, while one of his best characters,
the Chaplain in II is Never Too Late to
Mend, aud one of his most repulsive, the
parson in A Terrible Temptation, argne
some acquaintance with concrete theology.
The law, however, was the the pts aller
Mr.. Reade selected, and on one memorable
occasion, when he was at loggerheads with
Mr. Bentley, the elder, he actually donned
barrister's wig and pleaded triumphanty
lis own cause before the House of Lords,
thereby practically refuting the trite para
dox that he who is his own lawyer has
hammer letters on the Penge case, which
loosened the prison bars and relaxed the
hempen cord, went far toward demonstrat-
ing that, in gaining all imaginative author,
we may have lost consummate jurist.
Be that us it may, the fact remains that, in
any other country dignifed by the desig-
nation civilized, the master of social
science who produced such an immortal
poem in prose as II is Neuer Too Late 10
Mend, would have received half hundred
offers to represent constituencies. Our
national political sense must indeed be
dull or deprayed to have thus ignored
man of unique earnestness and outspoken
power, whose grand passion through life
has been to gibbet baseness and right in
justice, to enforce, in q word, one of the
notices of that "ancient, learned, aud
most charitable house" whereof he is the
chiefest living ornament, ''Jus suuse
cuigue." Mr.. Charles Reade, as all the
world knows, resides mostly at his town
residence, which on the reverse overlo0ks
the park west of Albert Gate; but he has
also suite of rooms in Magdalen College,
and occasionally may be noticed prowling
about the Bodleian Library, or with an
armful of books in the college cloisters.
Personally, he is tall, erect, with COM
manding presence, full expressive brown
eye, and noble brow. His manner is
singularly dignifed, without being starchy,
and as conversationalst he shines, es-
pecally in the company of clover women.
Place him by the side of an sppreciative
and cultured lady, and you will be graft
fed, if not surprised, by his profound ac-
quaintance with the literature of France
and England. 1t may be named that he has
written in the French language as well as
in English. - University Magastne.

In the matter of marriages things have
for some time past been considerably
mixed and uncertain in Italy, and the
most unpleasant consequences have re-
suited. Under the present law only civil
marriages are recognized as binding. At
the same time marriages by priest are
not prohibited where civil marriage has
not already been entered into. In France
the law requires civil contract to ante
date any religious nuptial ceremony.
The consequence of this state of things,
in Italy, has been that in the rural dis
tricts, particularly, only the religious
ceremony was performed, without any
preliminary civic marriage, and many
a woman who had supposed herself
legally welded has been abandoned by
her partner and left with children, who,
in the eyes of the law, were bastards.
Much confusion has also arisen in regard
to rights of property growing out of this
mixed state of things, as the courts
could not recognize marriage solely by
priest as legal. The italian Govern.

THE hopeless failure of Sullivant, the
great Illinois Corn King" is only one
of several cases that 60 to show that large
farms do not pay in this country. Mr..
Sullivants farming operations were on
the grandest scale. His farm consisted
of forty thousand acres, and everything
was conducted in the most colossal man
ner Apparently the average expenses,
owing to the adoption of the best imple-
ments of husbandry, were much less than
chose of small farmers, but the result has
proved otherwise Sullivant is now
without a roof of his own for shelter
for himself and family. His royal estate
has been sold under foreclosure Of mort

be divided up into small farms. 1t will
make two hundred and fifty farms of one
hundred and sixty acres each, furnishing
homes to that number of families, and
will serve much better purpose than
while under the control of single indi-
vidual.

with hlm, and Green met them
after dark in the clerks office
and looked over the returns. We de-
cided to throw away two precincts,
DarbyvilIe and Jacksonville, at the
suggestion of Driggers, the reason
given being that intimidation had been
praclicCd at one and illegal voting at the
other. The intimidation consisted IN
refusing ID let man vote. There was
no evidence before US in the Johnsonville
precinct. 1t was charged that three or
iour men did not live in the
county that had voted and their
names had been added TO the
registration list We had no witnesses
before US. That is ali the reason | know

we should have somo affidsvits, but
Driggers said we had authority to throw
out the returns. No irreguIarity was
pointed out on the face OF the
returns. The precincts thrown out
changed the result in the whole county.
In making the change 1t gave
the Republicans the majority. Coke and
