MY FIRST CLIENT.

r HAD been called to the bar not quite
i year, and was seated with my friend
Frank Armitage, in our chambers in the
temple. Frank had been called on the
same day as myself, and we had agreed
to make our professional start together.
SCISSORS of set of chambers at No, SO
Figtree street, and of boy named
Blobbs, who was known as our clerk,
though his tender years and seedy gar
ments made the dignified appellation
sound almost ironical. His style of dress
was peculiar, and gave one the idea that
he had several brothers of various sizes,
and had borrowed an article of apparel
from each-his boots belonging to the
eldest and his trousers to the youngest.
There were sundry other boys on our
staircase, with whom Blobbs was con-
stantly having little differences and
fighting them out upon the landing;
indeed this, with occasional expeditions
to Prosper's for commissiarat purposes,
formed the staple of his professional oc-
cupations.
When he first undertook his duties
we had started him with pint bottle of
ink, a ream of draft paper, and gross
of pens; and we had enjoined him to
employ all his leisure time in copying
precedents.
He began with great vigor, and cop
led about a page and a half in a large
school.boy hand the first morning, but
he never got any farther. The ream of
paper dwindled, somehow, and the ink
disappeared to an extent to which the
numerous little black imps, with which
Blobbs had embellished his domain,
failed to account for, until one morning
1 detected him in the act of blaclxing his
boots with it, and polishing them with a
pen wiper. Still, as boys go, Blobbs was
not very bad specimen and, as we re-
ally had 10 work for him to do, we were
not disposed to be extremely angry with
him for doing it.
Fortunately ,Armitage and myself were
both, to considerable extent, independ-
ent of our profession, for, to all appear
ance, our profession wns quite inde
pendent Of US. We had been called, as
have mentioned very nearly year

A Singular Hatching Place.

A hen at South Carolina railroad
yard, in this city, took notion a few
days since to lay her eggs in the tender
box on Bob Hubbard's switch-engine,
and Notwithstanding that veterans
views to the contrary she persisted in
getting her work so far advanced that
it was deemed prudent to let her "lay."
After depositng, as she thought, the
usual complement of fresh eggs in order
to go into the spring chicken business,
she finally settled down to her work and
is now daily sitting on her nest. She
never leaves the engine only occasional
ly when it stops in the yard, and then
only for few moments, to fly off, pick
around and stretch herself The engine
is in constant use and crossing and re-
crossing the city daily, pulling long
trains Of cars. The engineer has fitted
her up with nice, comfortable cotton
nest, and before long expects to have a
whole lot of steam-engine Chickens

Select Poetry.
THE BRIDES STORY.

When was but country lass, now fifteen years
ago.
/ lived where flowed the Overpeck through mead
ows wide and low;
There first, when skies were bending blue and
blossoms blowing free,
| saw the ragged little boy who went TO school
with me.
His homespun coat was frayed and worn, with
patches covered DER;
His hat--ah. such hat as that was never seen
before
The boys and girls, when first he came, they
shouted in their glee,
And jeered The little ragged boy who went TO
school with me.
His father was laboring man, and mine was
highly born;
Our people held bo tn him and his in great con-
tempt and scorn-
They said should not stoop to own playmate
such as he,
The bright eyed, ragged little boy who went to
school with me-
For years they had forgotten him, but when
again we met
His look, his voice, his gentle ways remained in
memory yet;
They saw alone the man of mark, but 1 could
only see
The brighteyed, ragged little boy who went to
school with me.
He had remembered me- 1t seems, as remem.
bered him
Nor time nor honors. in his mind, the cherished
past could dim;
Young love had grown to older love, and so to-day,
you see
wed the little ragged boy who went to school
with me.

tlons be sent by the Corresponding Secre-
tary to the publisher of the Israelitc, and
that the resolutions be published in the

DR.. Tut. OF New York ,

College, and also the principal of the larg.

facts indicate thorough medical knowledge,
wide professional experience, and chemical
skill. The country is so full of quacks de.

AEackwoods Theater story.

"Yankee" Hill, famous actor in the
first half of the present century, used to
tell an amusing story (Which Mr.. J. B.
Matthews retells in his article on 'The
American on the Stage" in Scribners for
JULY of the early days of the theater in
this country. Hill once Showed" to
use a professional phrase, in a town in
the western part of New York, where
no theatrical performance had ever
been given. He found the audi
ence assembled, with the women
seated on one side of the hall, the men
on the other, exactly as they were used
to sit at church; and throughout the
play the most solemn silence was OBJ
served. They were attentive, but they
gave no evidence of approval or displeas-
ure; there was no applause, no laug ghter;
there was not even a smile; all was sol
emn stiffness. Hill did his utmost to
break the ice; he did everything a clever
comedian could do, but in vain. He flung
himself against their rigidity; it was no
use. The audience were evidently
on its best behavior, and the curtain
came down at last amid 81
lence oppressive and almost melancholy
After the play, Hill, worn out by his
extra exertion and mortified at his want
of success, was passing through public
room of his hotel, when he was stopped
by tall countryman with the remark:
"Say, mister I was into the play to-
night"
"Were your said Hill, "you mus
have been greatly entertained"
"Well, l was! | tell you what it is
row, my mouth was all 81 re restraining
to keep my face straight. And if i
hadn't been for the women, I'd a-laughet
right out in meetin'."

Can Patti Sing I'm Paris!


Some time since mentioned that NJ.
Merelli had engaged Nine. Adelina Patti
to sing in Italian operas this winter at
the Theater de la Gate. But the Mar
quis de Caux, determined to prevent, If
possible, the appearance of his wife on
the Paris stage, has directed his legal ad-
wiser to write to NJ. Merelli to the effect
that he had seen advertisements in divers
papers announcing that operatic repre-
sentations were to be given next winter,
at which Nine. Adelina Patti (Marquise
de Caux) was to appear.
Not having givenher his authorization
for this purpose, he protested against any
engagement she might enter into with
out his consent, as her husband. To this
legal protest NJ. Merelli Immediately re-
piled by an equally formal document, in
which the Marquis was informed that
his statement to the effect that Nine.
Adelina Patti, "Marquise de Caux," was
to appear, was contrary to truth. The
words "Marquise de Caux" had never
been used Besides this, Madame Ade-
lima Patti had sung in Paris in lS76with-
out any protest being raised against her
engagement.
The action taken by the Marquis, con-
tinued the letter, seemed to be dictated
by no other motive than that of bring
ing discredit and ruin upon the contem-
plated artistic and commercial enter
prise for it did not lie in his power to
prevent Nine. Adelina Patti from sing
ing.
At the same time NJ. Merelli has sum-
moned the Gaulois newspaper before
court of justice for the publication of an
article which concluded with the words,
ut is our conviction that she will not
sing" As, according to NJ. Merelli, the
consequence of this article was the with
drawal of all chance of subscription for
his theater, and the discredit of his COM
mercial enterprise, he claimed damage to
the amount of 100000 francs. Under
these circumstances the question which
the tribunal will have to decide is wheth-
er or no the authorization of her husband
is necessary for Nine. Adeline Patti to
sing in Paris. She was separated from
the Marquis in 1877, and the judgment
given on that occasion declared 'Les
epoux separes de corps ct de biens." The
Marquis de Caux contends that this sep
aration does not entitle Nine. Adeline
Patti to appear in public in the city in
which he resides.

lady possessing about all the fine woman

able for a spirit of independence, which

fashion and the extravagances of society
with the greatest success and good
humor. She has strong mind, thorough

lively and witty in conversation, and is
