Of coin payments will release private lIoarls
Of gold and silver, that these will flow to tho

theroby bo Increased rather than diminished,
and hence, that coin payments will bo easily

One of the greatest trials of the news
paper profession is that its members are
compelled to see more of the shams of the
world than any other profession. Through
every newspaper office, day after day,
OF all the weaknesses in the world all the
vanities that want to be pulled all the
revenges that want to be reaped; all the
mistakes that want to be corrected; all
the dull speakers who want to he thought
eloquent all the meanness that wants to
get its wares noticed gratis in the edito-
rial columns in order to save the tax of
the advertising columns; all the men who
want to be set right who were never
right; all the crack brain philosophers
with stories as long as their hair, and as
gloomy as their finger nails in mourning
because bereft of soap all the bores who
come in to stay five minutes, but talk
five hours. Through the editorial and
reportorial rooms all the folies and shams
of the world are seen day after day, and
the temptation is to believe neither God,
man or woman. 1t is no surprise to me
that in this profession there are skepti-
cal men l only wonder that journalists
believe anything. Parson Talmage.

sponSible duty assigned to him by Judge
Rives, last week, OF defending criminal
confined on a charge of robbery. The
budding Blackstone visited his client,
and was shocked to note his shabby APP
pearance and generally unwashed and
unkempt condition. As this was his first
case, our legal friend was naturally anx-
ious to acquit his client, and in pursuance
Of this laudablc ambition he concluded
that if the prisoner presented a cleanly
and respectable appearance before the
court and Jury, his chance of getting off
would be enhanced, and acting on this
idea, the lawyer not only sent to the Jail
his best suit of clothes for the fellow to
wear, but also despatched barber to the
scene, with instructions to shave, sham
poo and cut the mans hair 1t was all
done, and the thief came into court look
inc as neat as a newly elected candidate.
But, unfortunately one bad mistake had
been made The barber had shingled the
fellow hair down to a close crop, and in
consequence il worse shaped head or
more villainous set of features never were
revealed. The impression on the Jury was
so marked that they rendered a verdict of
guilty without leaving their seats. TWAS
