TO
R. T. BROWN EsQR.
by the
w. I. P. T. Co.'S STAFF OF OFFICERS
as q token of their high regard and esteem.
LIST June 1880.
Such a testimonial from SO large a
staff of officers as that of the WI &P.
Tel. Co.. must actually be a great
source of pleasure to The possessor,
and he will probably often look with
pride at such a tangible proof of es-
teem."
The gift was accompanied by q
complimentary letter.
"Mr. Scott is Mr.. Browns successor
in office, and while offering him %
welcome we hope he will maintain
the ground gained by hispredecessor.'
PROPOSED BERMUDA CABLE.-The
loss OF the At0laNta has caused atten-
ton to be drawn to the Importance of
the Bermudas as a Geographic station.
A line Of cable from Halifax to Ber-
muda, and thence to Tortola, and
St. Kits or Antigua, would have the
advantage of placing not merely the
still vext Bermoothes" in direct and
instantaneous communication with
England, but of rendering the British
West Indies independent of the land
lines Of the United States, and of the
constantly interrupted service of the
West India and Panama Telegraph
Company. The whole distance from
Halifax to Bermuda and St. Kits is
about 1900 miles, but a cable of half
the distance, from Halifax to Bermuda
only, would serve the immediate pur-
pose in view, though it would not
possess all the advantages of the com
plete chain.-Em. Mail.

How English Lawyers Grow Rich.


 It is seldom that an English judge, upon the bench, condemns the excessive costs of litigation, and of legal proceedings generally, in this country. We would that it were done more often, hardly less in the interest of the profession than on public grounds. We hope that the strong but becoming language in which Lord Justice James recently condemn ed the enormous cost of litigation will not be lost upon our profession, and especially upon those members of it upon whom the respon- abilities of @ seat in Parliament are now rest ing. Is 1t wise we ask, for lawyers to try the experiment of leaving laymen, both in and out of Parliament, to cut down the cost of legal proceedings? Is it not the duty of the legal profession itself to take up this question and apply the necessary remedies, some of which are already at hand? Any sufficient, and therefore substantial, altera- tions in legal procedure must necessarily affect large numbers of members of the pro- fession; in some cases adversely, and in others to their advantage.
 Among the sources which give rise to costs, the mourning of which might often be avoid ed, the following may be mentioned: Plead ings, which practice the Judicature acts have to all intents and purposes preserved; the central, instead of the local administration of justice; the interests and privileges of the bar; the system by which solicitors are re- munerated the practice of judges in grant ing new trials the unnecessarily large fees often received by counsel, and allowed on taxation the scale of costs drawn with dis tinct view of encouraging solicitors to en- ploy counsel, instead of vice versa; the de- lay in dealing with the High Court of Jus tice; the uncertainty of the law as at present administered, in the absence of a code, andi view of the enormous accumulation of case law, and by which litigation sometimes be- comes little better than a gambling specula- tion and finally, both branches of specula- tive lawyers, who danger to society, and who include the black sheep of the profes- cio

GENERAL GARFIELD's LETTER.

|
 While General Garfield has not risen to the height of his opportunity in his letter of &C., ceptance much of what he says in that docu- ment is very satisfactory. He states admir- ably the position of the Republicans in rela- tion to the doctrine of State supremacy when he says ''They insist that the United States is Nation, with ample power of self preservation that it's Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof are the su- preme law of the land that the right of the Nation to determine the method by which it's own legislature shall be created cannot be surrendered without abdicating one of the fundamental powers of government that the national laws relating to the election of rep resentatives in Congress shall neither be vio- lated or evaded; that every elector shall be permitted, freely and without intimidation to cast his lawful ballot at such election and have ithonestly counted, and that the potency of his vote shall not be destroyed by the fraudulent vote of any other person." His remarks concerning the condition of affairs in the South and the true remedy for the most serious evils which aff1ict that section are full of good sense. The more heed paid by the Southerners to the fact that E'The prosperity which is made possible in the South by it's great advantages of soil and eli mate will never be realized until every voter can freely and safely support any party he pleases, , the better.
 General Garfield follows the platform closely in what he says concerning ed ucation, finances and the tariff He thinks that whatever help the Nation can justly afford should be generously given to aid the States in supporting unsectarian con- mon schools, does not want the present pros perity of the country endangered by any vio- lent changes doubtful financial expert ments, and in regard to our customs laws would have policy pursued (which will bring revenue to the treasury, and will en- able the labor and capital employed in our great industries to compete fairly in our own markets with the labor and capital of foreign producers" He favors the improvement of harbors and rivers especially of the Missis- sippi He is afraid of Chinese immigration. His endorsement of civil service reform is not hearty, though he thinks Congress should, without invading the authority or necessary discretion of the Executive, devise method that will determine the tenure of office and greatly reduce the uncertainty which makes the civil service so unsatisfactory.
 This is all there is to the letter, which is able, temperate and clear throughout. It is not however, bold or especially inspiring.

 Dear Father thou art growing old: The weight of nearly three score years Across thy shoulders. fold on fold, Hath fallen, with both hopes and fears, Thy step hath slower grown, we know, Thy hair is chased with silver lines The furrows mark thy thoughtful brow, And yet thine eye the truth defines Thou art not old, thou art not young; Thy harp of life is overstrung. Dear father, thou art growing old, And still thy spirit sings it's song; Thy voice is raised fearless and bold Against the tides of sin and wrong; For weak, unsheltered ones each day Thy tender heart will pray and plead And oft beside thee on thy way
 Walk troubled hearts who have great need Thou art not old, thou art not young, For oh thy harp is overstrung. In mysteries celestial versed.
 Thy wondrous knowledge and thy skill Unaided and alone thou nursed
 With an unceasing will The light the old pine knots threw forth Illuminated many ways That led beyond thy fathers hearth, Even to these thy later days Full many songs thy heart hath sung For oh thy harp is overstrung. Thou hast not done the half, know, Of all that filled thy hearts desire. The centuries of mind move slow, Nor to all truthful things aspire. The thoughts that rise within thy heart, To freely fall from lip and pen, Will in the unborn hours take part And rest in silent peace with men. Thy tenderest songs must all be sung Because thy harp is overstrung The judgment of our God is thine: And when at last thy soul is free, Through ages of enduring time, We'll understood thou'lt always be; Drink in these later days the balm That hearts of love at home have given, And sail on seas of blessed calm Clear to the waiting shores of heaven. And there thy songs shall all be sung And still thy harp be overstrung.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, aud dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at- of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- turesAof his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inya- riably be given as to the possibilities of a cure and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthilrs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

@NG" AAA'INi OoAS o'
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lghthin and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty six years had been troubled with a-catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing 1t to a consid- erab1e extent, and as it kept constantly in- sreasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience One of Dr. Lighthilrs pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectuaIly removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness I know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

'Tt is a curious thing" writes the Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald, 'that, although Hancock is generally liked throughout the army, yet the feeling of the army as a whole is not in favor of his election. One reason is that a good many officers feel that it is liable to injure the ser vice to have prominent officers who are not at the head of the army taken up by rival political parties and put through the rough and tumble of political campaign. It en- genders criticism and disparagement of the entire service"

R. G. Dun & Co.'s latest circular contains much that is interesting. The failures in the United States and Canada for the first half of 1880 were only ,497 in number, with iabil- ities amounting to barely $33, COG, ,00O These figures are much smaller than the agency has ever chronicled for the same period The first six months of 1879 showed remarka- ble diminution-the liabilities for that period being only $65, ,OO0, 900 against $130, 000,- GOO in the same period of 1S79-or a lessened loss by bad debts of fully one-half But it has been left for the first six months of 1880 to show reduction of as great ratio even on the reduced figures of the previous year; for the liabilities for the last half year are only $33, ,000,0 900 as compared with $65, 000,- 900 in 1879 and $130, GOO, 900 in 1878. Thus for the first half of 1880, as compared with the first half of 1878, the loss by failures ap- pears to be lessened by nearly $100,- 900, ,OOO. For the second quarter of 1880 the failures number only 1,065, with liabilities of 1920, O0O OO0 These figures are encouraging, but, the circular very properly points out statistics of this nature cannot be relied upon prophetic. 'It would be unwise to ignore the existence of conditions of business which they do not in any degree illustrate. For instance, it is safe to say that for the next six months the chances of making money do not bear any comparison with the chances as they existed in the last six months of 1879. The circum- stances of the two periods are almost precise ly reversed. At this time last year stocks of almost every product were small and values at minimum at the present hour the re- suits of stimulated production, largely in creased importation, and general activity, are seen in accumulations of goods and very uncertain values The possibilities of making money, therefore, rest solely upon the slow and gradual absorption of goods by consumF- tion. The ability of the country to absorb, consume and pay for it's requirements has never been greater and the, gains that are to be made are likely to be the result of legitl- mate trade, rather than the quick profits which were realizeds last year from specula- tive advances. Those who can afford to wait for this gradual realization of their profits will doubtless participate in the general pros perity which exists, but it is painfully evident that there dEe Hldny "Ho aio 1oo'AJ "oiSn'0o with merchandise bought at extreme prices, and whose profits even for the past year have been, or will be, pretty efectually extin- guished by the settling in prices which is going on in almost every department of busl- ness'' Another element of uncertainty ex- ists with regard to the prospects of the agri- cultural class If they have good crops and sell them for good prices money will of course be plenty Close observers, however, view with considerable anxiety the possibility of a great decrease in the amount of money to be realized in the coming year from exporta-
