Political Du3v

1t is the duty of every man to vote
not to hang round ward and district
pot houses discussing the merits of can
didates; but he should become acouaint-
ed with their qualifications bv careful
observation, and when once convinced
of their purity of character and bonestr
of purpose to make every honorable el
fort to place them ia nomination, and aid
in their election. The first duty is to
attend the primary meetings. While
respectable men excuse their absence
from the caucus on various pretexts, the
loafers, the vicious, and the idle bum
mers are out in force; they pack the
convention, name their own committees,
and lay the egg which matches much fu-
ture trouble and deviltry. The man who
refuses or neglects to attend the primary
meetings of his precinct, and thereby
enables bad men to find places upon the
ticket, and lay the wires for corruption
and fraud, should never complain of the
quality of the officers elected.

The Term Porte.

The term Porte, which is used to de-
note the administrative government of
the Ottoman empire, and includes the
Council of State, had its ORIGIN in This
way: In the famous institutes establish

med IL, the Turkish body polite was
described by the metaphor of stately
tent, whose VINO domes rested upon four pill
lars. The Viziers formed the first Dill
lar, the Judges the second, the Treasur-
ers the third, and the Secretaries the

was fgqratively named the LOFTY Gate
OF the Royal Tent" in allusion to the

man rulers sat at the tent door to adj
minister justice. The Italian translation
of this name was ''Le Porte Sublima."
This phrase was modified in English to

Curran and the Bench.

Not long after his first brief, circum-
stance occurred which elected the first
scintillation of Curran's genius, and rem
dered him terror alike to the bench
and the bar. Lord Robertson, one ofthe
presiding judges, was very unpopular
both as man and jurist. He had un-
dertaken TO edit an edition of Blackstone.

gave it the title of "Blackstone's Com

Bar" Soon after the work appeared

him and said: Gentlemen of the Jury.

his lordship says SO, the etiquette of the
court demands that l submit, though
neither the statute nor common law of
the country should sanction his lord

of the jury, that ] have never seen the
law SO interpreted in any book of my

Lord Robertson sneeringly replied /:

To this Curran promptly replied -
Speaking of dignity your lordship re-

that the Irish Buffer Roche, on engaging

The lawyer who INDUCED in the fol-
