According to decision just rem
dered by the Supreme Court OF
California, lawyers are not at hb-
erty to decline to appear in the de-
tense of impecunious prisoners, II
assigned to that duty by the court.
Judge Clark, of Sacramento, re-
quested young attorney to take
charge of the defense in > case
where no compensation could bs
expected, and adjudged a refusal 70
be contempt of court, for which hs
imposed fine Upon q writ Of
habeas corpus issued by the appel
late court, this decision was pro-
nounced sound law. The liability
to serve gratuitously is declared to
be one of the burdens Of the legal
profession, for which its privileges
are ample compensation.

A system of insurance for girls
has existed for several generations
among the Danish nobility of Co
pennasen. A noblelnan, upon the
birth Of daughter, enrolls her
name with tie INSURANCE. society,
paving at the time fee, and subse-
qnentiy an annual sum, until she
reaches 81. She then becomes en-
titled to u fixed income from the
society, and 10 apartments In the
large building of the association,
which is surrounded by gardens
and park. Should her father die
i'll her childhoud she may immedi-
ately occupy the apartments II she
SO desires. Should she marry, the
income and the right to home
both lapse. The last provision mp
pears to be decidedly in the inter
est OF the insurance companies, as
it is but natural to suppose that a
large majority of the young ladies
willingly surrender their rights to

The New York Herald is opposed
to tho construction Of the Darien
Canal, on the principle that the
United States will never allow a
foreign nation to control any por-
ton of American waters, or derive
revenue from the American coast
ing trade, as would be the case If
the proposed scheme is carried ont.
Senator Burnside also opposes the
scheme. He says that tie whole
North American continent. below
the Canada border, will eventually
be under the control Of the United
States, and that the movement to
establish this highway With Euro
pean capita! must be regarded, in Il
certain sense, rs IN intrusion upon
American territory. He says he is
by no means certain that the canal
need be opened; that there is no
imperative necessity for one at this
time; that we shall soon have two
additional lines of railroad across
the continent, making three in NIL,
and the facilities for transportation
will be amply sufficient
The question of an inter-oceanic
canal was referred by the House to
the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons, and by it referred to a sub
committee. of which Mr. King, of
Louisiana, is chairman, who will
make a full report to the House
next session.
Much interest is manifested in
Paris in regard to Congressional
action on this subject next winter

The following is the cotton crop
report for the month of June, con-
densed from replies of correspond
en,s by the committee on informa-
ton and statistics Of the Cotton
Exchange:
Louisiana. This report is com
piled from 104 answers received
from 36 parishes. The weather
during the month has been very
dry. and compared with last year,
has been more favorable for culti-
Walton, enabling planters to get
their crop well worked. There has
been slight decrease in acreage
since last report, owing to drouth
aud scarcity of labor. The stands
are reported good. except i'll tine
bottom lands. The plant is small,
but forming and blooming well. 1ts
present condition is good and clean
and compares with last year favor
ably. Many complain of lice ana
locusts. and there is a general com
pliint Of drouth, many parishes re-
porting no rain for six or eigh.
weeks. The crop is backward il
growth. blooming and forming
prematurely and about two weeks
later than last year.

PICNIC AT SHADY GROVE.
EnlToR ST. TAnMANy FARMER:

a few words about cicnics. SO will
say something about "the best OF
tue season the Shady Grove
picnic.
We left Covington on Wednes-
day morning, had delightful ride
through the 'pinev woods" and
admired the thriving farms and
comfortable looking cottages that
are thickiy scattered in all direc-
tons along the road.
After crossing Rosue Chitto. we
began to think perhaps Slight re-
past would add to our appreciation
Of the Pleasures of life. so We turn
ed from the dusty roadside aud en-
tered the cool shades of the forest,
where we found stream of delici-
ouSly cool water, and enjoyed the
contents of our lunch baskets. AT
ter spending ali hour or two In
pleasant chat, we resumed our
journey. and just as the sun was
sinking in crimson pillows. We
arrived at the hospitable mansion of
MIR. Il. Daniel, where we met the
cordial welcome that is always
there, to the expected guest or the
chance traveller.
The morning OF the Fourth dawn
Ell bright and beautiful, and all
were early as.ir, preparing to jour
ney Oh to the picnic grounds. One
of the large wagons was brought to
the door, and all were comfortably
slowed away, So on We Went III gay
style.
After drive of two miles, we
came III sight of Il beautiful frame
house, the property of Mr.. Daniel
on the grounds of which were us
sembled some 800 or 400 persons.
Az far as the eye could reach, car
riases, horses aud wagons could be
seen; groups of gentlemen in hoi'
day attire, and on the gallery and
III the house crowds of lovely ladies,
GIRLS and chill lren, while at the rear
Of the house bevies of colored folks
were engaged in frying the finest
varieties of fish, and preparing dam
ties for the coming feast. Ali
grouped together formed IL picture
worthy ui being painted Dy Il mas
ter hand.
At twelve o'clock the tables were
spread for dinner, beneath the
shade of the grand old oaks that
surround the place. And such a
dinner! Every variety of substan-
tiai food and all kinds of daintles
were spread in greatest profusion.
From New Orleans, Covlngton,
Pike County, Miss, and for rli'es
around The neis hborhood, we've as
sembled crowds of people, yet there
VAS more than enough FOR all.
Music and dancing was the order
Of the day, and as the shades OF eve
approached, it became apparent
that the intention was to dance on,
and SO we dld. until broad daylight,
when all joined III an old Virginia
reel and SO ended our Fourth OF
July picnic.
Commencing with pleasure and ending
with mirth,
Peaceful and Lappy each returned 10 his
hearth.
May we all meet again. as on that bright
day
May it's sweet, cherished visions ne'ei
pass away.
