Assurance Company against John schermerhorn and
others for An inch of ground, which has been
pending some two years in the courts. called
tor trial yesterday before Judge Van Brunt at
Supreme Court. Special Term. motion was made
by Mr. Elliott +. Shepard, counsel tor the defend
ants, for leave to serve supplemental answer, set
ting up defect of the parties defendant. It seems
that since the commencement of the action several
OF the defendants have died. Notwithstanding this
the plaintiff insisted on proceeding against q sole
survivor without making tho heirs and represent
tatives OF tho deceased parties defendants. Mr..
Shepard argued at length to the necessity of max
ing them parties and of the futility of any decree
which might be made. unless the proper parties
were before the Court and heard. Messrs. Foster Il
Thompson and Mr. Aaron ]. vanderpoel, for the
plaintiff. argued that under sections 757 and 1853 OF
the Code Of Civil Procedure they entitled and
had the absolute right to proceed against the sole
surviving defendant. Judge Van Brunt held that
the and heirs necessary parties
aud that the plaintiffs must make them parties do

ties plaintiff notified OF the deceaso Of
such defendants.

A Drunkard's Brain.

Hyrit, by far the greatest anatomist of
the age, used to say that he could dis
tinguish in the darkest room, by one
stroke of the scalpel, the brain of an ine-
briate from that of a person who lived
soberly. Now and then he could con-
gratulate his class upon the possession of
a drunkard's brain, admirably fitted, from
its hardness and more complete preser-
walton, for the purpose of demonstration.
When the anatonlist wishes to preserve
the human brain for any length of time,
he effects that object by keeping that
organ in vessel of alcohol From a
soft, pulpy substance, it then becomes
comparatively hard But the inebriate,
anticipating the anatomist, begins the
indurating process before death; begins
it while the brain remains the consecrat-
ed temple of the soul, and while its deli
cate and gossamer-like tissues still throb
with the pulse of heaven-born life
Strange infatuation, thus to desecrate
the Godlike Terrible enchantment,
that dries up all the fountains of gener
Gus feelings, petrifes all the tender hu-
manities and sweet charities of life,
leaving only brain of lead and heart
of stone ! Scientific American.

On the Edge of Journalism.

The edge of journalism is begirt with
innumerable aspirants. Every man and
a great many women think that the only
qualification for journalism is that which
is necessary in writing private letter.
1t is the commonest thing in the world
for people who have never once welded
the pen professionally to imagine that
they would make frstclass European
correspondents for influential journals.
1t is the commonest thing in the world
for young lady who has never indited
anything more weighty than a note of
invitation or acceptance, to think that
book reviewing and editorial writing can
be picked up in moment. The truth is,
that even Indifferent writing in these re-
spects is not the result of weeks study;
and that excellent writing in any i'm
portant sphere of journalistic labor is the
slow coming consequence of years of
trial and development. Few things are
more sadly amusing than to watch the
dreary failures that are made. 1t is hard
to impress upon those who tremble on
the edge of journalism that, after all, the
ladder they would climb is steep one,
with many rungs. They will not be per-
suaded, though one rose from the dead
to convince them, and sooner or later
are swallowed up in the pitiless vortex of
