Women Lawyers.

NOT every lady and gentleman who
has this season applauded Miss Terry's
Portia is aware that, about the date
when the Merchant of Venice may
be supposed to have exhibited his
gabardine on the Rialto, there actually
existed great female lawyers in the
neighboring city of Bologna. Prof.
Caldcrini, who held the Chair of Juris-
prudence in that University in 1860,
and Prof. Novella, who occupied it in
1866, were not only celebrated for their
legal lore and skill, but if we may trust
their portraits, exceedingly beautiful
women, with noble Greek protiles,
dressed in style which Miss Terry
might have copied without disadvan-
tage. If women hereafter should again
obtain entrance into the legal pro-
fession, it is not at all improbable that
we may see something more of the keen
ness Of feminine wits engaged in olsen
tangling the knots of the law. Two
ladies in Ireland, according to the
Times Dublin correspondent. have just
been conducting their own most intri-
cate cases in a manner which excited
the surprise of the Master of the Rolls,
who even observed that he was "aston-
ished that the ladies had been able to
put their case on paper so intelligently
and clearly without legal advice" If
other ladies should follow the example
of the Misses Fogarty, what a falling
off must ensue in solicitors bills. They
lost their case, it is true, but seemingly
could not have won it under any guild
ance; and at all events they have es-
capped that great aggravation of the
misery of defeat in court of law--the
LAWYERS costs.-PaN Nall Gazette.

The RszOr.Clam.

When the tide is out, one may find
the razor-fish, so called because the
shell resembles the handle of razor.
If laid hold of suddenly, the chances
are that before he can be drawn out he
will slip out of his shell, leaving that
empty in the hand, while the "soul and
essence of him has gone down half .
fathom into the sand. Yet he is not
more slippery than many an individual,
who, when pressed to do some mag
unanimous deed in behalf of the COM
munity, slips out of his shell, and,
losing the grip you can no more find
the soul and essence of him than You
can find the soul of this razor-fish,
which has gone deep into the muck and
sand. In either instance the empty
shell is only the sign of the thing
wanted.-THe Californian.

KELLY. the motor man, of Philadel-
phia, invented among other things q
vaporic lift, intended for raising heavy
weights. The feat is accomplished by
means of q belt strapped around the
waist to which, are attached numerous
small wires. Two of these wires are
connected with = small instrument re-
sembling watch case. which contains
wheels and springs. While Mr.. Keely
was practicing with the lift recently he
burst blood-vessel, causing severe
hemorrhage. He was found in his
workshop in an insensible condition
with blood flowing from his mouth. He
was i'll for several days, but his condi-
ton is now improving.

, ImL ure Breath.

Among all the disagreeable conse-
quences that follow the decay Of the
teeth. an impure breath must be the
most notifying and unpleasant to
its possessor, and II is the most mex
cusable and offensive IN society; and
yet the cause Of it may easily be re-
moved by cleansing your teeth daily
with that justly popular dentifrice,
Fragrant SOZODONT. 1t purifies
and sweetens the breath, cools and
refreshes the mouth, and gives pearl
like appearance to the teeth. Gen
tlemen who indulge in smoking
should cleanse their teeth with So
ZODONT, as 1t removes all unpleas-
ant odors of the weed. Ask your
druggist for it.

lay on the Kings side and made a

NOT MEN But PRINCIPLES.

Seme Democratic journals with
nothing to say shout the principles
or policy If their party, are endeav-
'oring to gaia votes far Hancock by
attacking 'tRs private character of
Garfield. The better class of Dem.
.ocratic Journals do not do this, be.
cause they are too we'll Informed and
know that charges against the integ
rity Of the Republican nominee will
mot stand investigation, but will re.
act upon the false accusers.
However true or false any aecesn.
'tion may be which have been or will
be made against either Garfield 'r
Hancock, the people of th" United
States ace that the question is not one
regarding the character OF the can
'didates, but one relative to the prin-
.oiples of the government which shall
'rule the country.
The contest is not q struggle be-.
tween two men for Office, but a
fight between two great parties. One
party determined to maintain the
principles which preserved the Union
once against the attacks of its enc
mics, and the other anxious to over
throw those principles and reinstate
the old State Rights doctrine, which
rendered secession possibility.
The Democratic party without
having openly mentioned state
rights in their platform, have, in one
clause, reaffirmed oil the old doc.
trines witch, or course, carries State
rights, it being the foundation upon
which their whole system is laid.
The election Of Hancock will place
thc government in the hands of men
who do not believe this to be sin.
gle undivided nation, but an alliance
of States. 1t will, in effect, be an ac-
acknowledgement Of the principle of
State rights, and this will DO followed
by renewed assertions that the South
had right to secede. 1t is very i'm
probable that another attempt at Sc
cession will be made, but It is almost
certain that should the Democratic
party again come into power, the
southern war claims will be added
to the public debt, and the men of
the North will he compelled to pay
the greater part Of the expenses in

CARE OF TIE EYEs-The most serious

be predicted from their peculiar work. weak
eyes. We find that engrayers, watchmak-
ers, and all others who use their ewes con-
stantly in their work, take extra care 10 pre-
serve them by getting the best possible light
by day and using the best artificial light at
night. The great army of writer's and read
ers are careless, and most OF them sooner or
later, pay the penalty by being forced to
give up night work entirely-sOme to give up
reading, except at short intervals under the
best conditions, and now and then one loses
the eyeslght entirely after it is too late
warning. Greek, German, shorthand, or
any other characters differing from the plain
Roman type, makes a double danger. The
custom Is 10 laugh at all warnings till pain
or weakness makes attention imperative,
and then it is often too late to avert the mis-
chief. Few comprehend the vast number

the line.

this, but his eyes must 20 over thousand
thousand letters We can do no better ser
vice to readers and writers than to call at
tentlon to this great danger of failing to
take the best of care, which is none too
good, for the eyes. Every tyro knows that
he should have the best light for reading,
should shun early dawn or twilight, should
always stop at the first signs of pain or
weariness, etc. Most know that the glare
from the plain, white surface is very trying,
and that the eye is relieved by tint Re
cent experiments in Germany are reported
to indicate some yellowish tint as easiest for
the eyes. Dark papers, inks that show little
color On the first writing, faint lead pencil
marks that can be read only BY strainins
the eyes are fruitful sources OF mischief,
So is bad writing The bad paper, ink and
pencils most of our readers will have too
good sense to use. The intelligent public
should so clearly show its disgust at the
fine type, solid matter, poor paper and poor
printing which some publishers and most
periodicals, except the best, are guilty of
offering, that no publisher would dare at
