little dodge game on the Lawyers
Of Vermilionville. and euchered
them out of their promised fees.
The Advertiser of the 10th in
slant gives the conclusions and
action of the members of the bar
with regard to the evil. 1t seems
that nearly every one of the par
ties charged with crime would
make some arrangements for conn.
sci, hut when the time came to put
up the fees they would not find
the money, and when arraigned
they would ask the Court to as.
sign to them as counsel the same
lawyer they had deceived. The
Court was informed Of this state
of facts and the following are the
means Of defeating this little
game Mr.. Clegg submitted the
following from the members of the
bar
AT a meeting, this day, Of the
of the bar of the Parish,
practising before the District
Court, all the resident Attorneys
being present, it was, without
dissent, agreed and understood
that in all cases in which they
be assigned by the Court, as coun,
sci for defendants charged with
crime, it shall be their duty, to see
that the prosecution is conducted
in accordance with the form Of
law. I'd. That no legal right q
defendant is disregarded before

examination ofwitnesses before the

1t was farther agreed, that evil

How a CAMEL GOES THROUGH
THE EYE OF A NEEDLE The pas.
sage from the New Testament,
1T is easier for a camel" ETC., has
perplexed many good men, who
have read it literally. In oriental
cities there are in the large gates
small and very low apertures,
called metaphorica'Iy needles
eyes'just as &c talk Of windows
on shipboard as bulls. eyes,
These entrances are too narrow
for a camel to pass through them
in the ordinary manner or even if
loaded. When a loaded camel
has to pass through one of the
entrances. it kneels down, its load
is removed. and then it shufaes
through on its kpees. Yesterday"
writes Lady Duff Gordon, from
Cairo, Il saw a camel go through
the eye Of a needle-that is, the low
arched door Of an Enclosure. He
must kneel, and bow his head, to
creep through !; and thus the rich
man must humble himself

had discovered on the highlands OF
Daghestan a tribe which has been
settled therefor thousands Of years,
and although they are Of warlike
temperament and closely resemble
the Cossacks in appearance, there
is no doubt at all that they are
really Jews, for'they strictly fol-
low the Mosaic law in the Biblical
Interpretation of it: 1t is strange
that this people has hitherto escap.
ed the notice Of photographers, for
they themselves affirm that they
have lived in the same spot since
the time of Salmonasser. They are
ignorant Of Talmudic literature,
and of the building of the second
temple, and they retain the old
Jewish names in dse'in the days Of
the wanderingsand the FIRST kings.
They manufacture largely a red
wine which is said to be the best
in the Caucasus, and they adhere
strictly to the Mosaic law that a
man must marry his deceased
brothers wife.

one OF these beautiful monuments In the Gem

beauty of design, the symmetry Of Its parts, the
grandeur OF its appearance and its indestructi-

this region for cemetery purposes. Go and see
it. II will amply reward you for the drive.
Rev. II. West is the only agent for these
beautiful monuments in this county. Call and
