Legal Practice in London.

In the legal profession in England
there are three distinct and well-defned
branches Of practice; and the boundary
lines of the several spheres of enterprise
may not be overstepped. The solicitor
transacts ordinary business, and advises
his client, both as to the avoidance and
the redress Of grievances. he asserts
the rights of the layman who intrusts
his interests to his keeping, and avenges
the wrongs inflicted upon him by others,
80 far as these functions can be perform
ed with the aid of the ordinary appli-
ances which the law affords. When
matters become more complicated than
the simple remedies will suffice to cure,
the solicitor seeks the aid Of COUNSEL
The client cannot go directly to the lat.
ter to the prejudice Of the general prac-
titioner at law; nor can counsel transact
ordinary business for laymen, however
willing they may be to pay his fees or
secure his services. An opinion may Of
course be obtained on the most trivial
subject, but the case must be submitted
through a solicitor, or counsel cannot
entertain it, so that the wider profess
sional interests are duly protected. =
There is O still more exclusive class OF
practitioners, who act solely as consul
tees and leaders-the queens counsel
who are prohibited from appearing in
most cases before the courts without o
junior. BY this simple but effective or
ganization Of labor, any unseemly con.
Aict Of aims and interest is prevented,
and the public benefit, not less than the
profession, by the arrangement made
| and carried out.

A s~sSbOcking', a d

Canadian papers contain accounts of a
singular phenomenon connected with the
recovery Of young lady named Caroline
Glare, in that country, from attacks of
physical prostration, accompanied by
trance states in which she unconsciously
described glorious visions in glowing
language. On regaining her health it
was found she was highly m~agnetized,
and a person, unless possessed of the
very strongest nerves, cannot shake
hands with her, nor can any one place
his hand in a pail of water with hers.
BY joining hands she can send a sharp
shock through fifteen or twenty people
in a room, and she possesses all the at
fractions of magnet. If she attempts
to pick up q knife the blade will jump
into her hand, and a paper Of needles
will hang suspended from one of her
fingers. So strongly developed is this
electrical power that she cannot release
from her touch any article OF steel which
she may have taken up. The only
method yet found is for a second party
to take hold of the article and pull
while the girl strokes her own arm Wig
orously from the wrist upward.
On her entering a DON q perceptible
influence seizes hold OF all others, and
while some are affected to sleepiness,
others are ill and adgety till they leave,
and even for q considerable time after
ward. A sleeping babe will wake up
with a start at her approach, but with o
stroke Of her hand she can at once coax
it to slumber again. Animals also are
subject to her influence, and a pet dog
Of the household will be for hours at her
feet as motionless as in death.
A curious part Of the phenomena is
the fact that the electricity can be i'm
parted by her to any article with which
she habitually comes in contact. The
other day q younger sister, while doing
the house work, took up apair Of corsets
belonging to Caroline, and on her hand
touching the steel she was compelled to
drop them, with q loud cry and an ex-
clamation to the effect that she had run
q needle into her finger. Wooden spoons
have had to be made for her, as she can
not touch metal.
Altogether the case is a most remark
able one and attracts scores OF visitors
TO the house OF Mr.. Glare. Medical men
are especially interesting themselves.

Courage.

Courage is not q Duality that can be
infused into q child by threat and trick
and force; it is a quality men and women
are born with, and its center is the
heart, not the head. No one can make
a person with q physically feeble heart
courageous. We say Of men or children
who are strong and courageous, theya are
lion.hearted; we say Of those who are
opposite, they are chicken.hearted; and
the terms express the facts. But as we
cannot by the most consummate skill
transform a chicken into q lion, SO we
cannot make q chicken-heart a lion
heart. We can encourage, set example,
explain the freedom from danger, explain
how to do the thing that looks danger
GUS without much exposure to risk; and
SO we can train even q faint heart to
become morally, if not physically,
brave. But to try to give physical
courage to q body that is weak at its
center; to try to force courage out Of
such a body; to try to call forth what is
not there; to make it an opprobrium to
be weak-hearted; and, under the name
Of coward, TO hound shamefully q poor,
Tutoring, gentle, loving, trustiul ma
ture, as is commonly done, is n Of the
wickedest pieces Of ignorance with
which we are conversant. Ii never
makes a man brave, but IL makes many
assume bravery, and by the means Of
assumption generates a race OF cowardly
hypocrites who are the very curses Of
social life.

A Wedding.

The happy morn has smiling come;
Before Gods altar man and wife,
Hand clAspsd in land, all silent stand,
One flesh, life;
All me! ali me!
Is It for Joy or misery
The parting words with friends are said,
The slippers and the rice are cast,
And 10 new life new man and wife
Have gsyly psssed;
All me- ali mel
II is to Joy or misery?
IL II TO live as God has Willed,
In bonds OF love and sympathy
Is it TO share or Joy or care
C~o-equAlly2
Is life to be
One grand Boul-stirring harmony?
o. is Il rather day by dsy =
To wAken to their cruel fate?
With icy heart TO drift apart,
And learn too late
That life must be
A dull, dead waste Of misery3
Nay, God Forbid but Let them 60
To such sweet life Of perfect love,
That hand in hand at length they'll stand
In heaven above,
And so may DO
One life through all eternity.

A Long Career Of pefaIeatIon.

The report Of the committee investi-
eating the defalcation of Luther II.
Conklin, treasurer of Oswego county,
New York, presents a sad and startling
aspect. He was elected t the Office in
1858, and after nearly twenty-one years
Of service he, in December last, had
made his annual report and final settle
ment with the supervisor, aud the stand
ing committee was about TO report his
accounts correct, when the clerk acct
dentally discovered a discrepancy Of
about $50, 900, He protested to be able
to explain it by reference to his books at
Mexico, where he resided. He returned
home, but nothing was heard from him,
except that he was i'll, and this was fol-
lowed by his death from apoplexy,
caused by heart disease. In his native
town he was highly esteemed and trust
ed. He was prominent in politics; the
founder, patron and promoter Of O
church, and a high ofieerin the Masonic
order. He was also the trusted adviser
of men all over the country, and his
funeral was a Masonic pageant. The in
vestigation shows a series OF defalca-
tons, increasing in amount with every
term Of office, amounting in the aggTe.
gate to Sill, S67.67. To add to the
Nervousness of this turpitude, it was
| discovered that the treasurer's bond Of
500, 900 for his term from 1873 to
1876, had been stolen from the county
clerks office, and no record could any
where be found to show who were his
sureties for that term. The sureties on
his bonds for other years proposed the
payment OF about $25, 600 as a COM
promise, but the supervisors would not
agree to anything less than 100000
The sureties are to be prosecuted on the
bonds, and the reasons they assign for
resisting payment are that Judgment for
this amount is not collectable, and that
they are innocent parties, and ought
not to be bankrupted on account Of the
acts of their principal. Considerable
sympathy is felt for these men, and for
the reason that in each and every n OF
the twenty-one years of Mr.. Conklin's SER
vice a committee of the board Of super
visors reported his accounts correct and
gave him "a clean bill Of character,
whereas It appears, in fact, that for
every n of these years he was a de-
fainter.

Another Yellow Fever Theory.

DR.. Schmidt, of the New Orleans char
ity hospital, has had numerous oppor-
tunities for investigating the nature oil
the yellow fever poison. He takes a de-
cided stand against the germ theory,
claiming it to be a disease depending,
like smallpox, scarlet fever and measles,
upon a specific poison of animal origin,
a product OF the diseased human organ
ism itself. The fact that in the case Of
putrefaction the poison increases in in
tensity with each individual through
whom it passes explains the fatality OF
the disease, which increases as the cpl
demic advances. The prevention OF the
disease involves the interesting question
of quarantine, and the perfect isolation
of the first cases would appear to be the
most important sanitary measure.

Fashions from Harper,s Bazaar.


Lace mits and long, clicked gloves Of
Lisle thread will be the choice for sum
mer.
The Panama tweeds in small checks,
trimmed with shirred satin, make neat
dresses for morning, travelling, etc.
Blue and blue-black ladies' cloth re-
mains the fayorite fabric for riding
habits, and the English style Of cutting
is preferred.
Ecru wool dresses, usually French
bunting, trimmed with blue or brown
polka dotted satin, are very popular
with young girls.
The prettiest white nainsook dresses
have panier basques with elbow sleeves,
trimmed with puifs Of the nansook
separated by Breton insertion.
New caps Of India muslin are shaped
precisely like an infants bonnet, with a
little cape at the back, soft crushed
crown, and a great deal Of knife plated
lace.
The polonaise most used by young
girls is of the marquise shape, which is
cut quite long, and the great length
draped in soft plaits around the hips,
and a lengthwise puff in the back.
For very dressy hats are the Leghorn
fats, with cream white satin ribbon,
white plumes, and a shirred satin facing
in the brim; dark velvet facing is also
very becoming to the high color OF girls
in their teens.
Basques and polonaises that button
behind can scarcely be found at the
furnishing houses, as these have been
replaced by vest garments that must
fasten in front, or else by those that lap
in double breasted fashion.
For washing fabrics a scant frill is
used for trimming the edge, and this
consists of colored Hamburg embroidery
for g~inghams, white Hamburg work for
muslins with white grounds, and Of Rus
sian lace for colored batistes and lawns.
A trimming, which has but just made
its appearance, is a tufting Of short,
shaded fringe, closely resembling the
feather bands which were formerly the
fashion. This tufted fringe trims small
mantelets made of faille, or else Of cash
mere in a light shade.
The trimmed skirts OF simple dresses
have the back laid in. loose kilt plaits
from the belt down, while the front and
sides have a long apron sewed in with
the belt and fastened down the side
seams; a narrow-plaited fiounce is be-
low this on the gored breadths of the
lower skirt,
People who like black dresses-and
they are numerous-have this aso
adopted the Spanish dress. For the
chateaux and seaside cottages the sum
mer wardrobe is not complete without
a Spanish toilette. This is made of
black faille, entirely covered with very
transparent black barege, or even black
Grape. The entire front is covered with
rows of wide black lace, which are fin
ished on each side with a bow, with long
hanging loops, made of narrow pink
satin ribbon. Each bow is fastened with
a rosette of black jet, with two tassels
of uneven length to match. The long
train in the back (this toilette is never
made short) is draped by means ola
single large bow of wide pink satin rib
bon. The corsage, cut square in the
neck, and the elbow sleeves, are trimmed
| with pink bows and jet.
