An exchange remarks upon the above
paragraphs that "here isa history OF a
life epitomized in two paragraphs and
setting forth a moral with stronger force
than any hundred sermons The most
consummste art in writing could not
have told better or more plainly than
these brief paragraphs the story OF a
noole man, the son of a noble mother,
as he himself STYLES her; his struggles,
manfully carried through to success, and
the peaceful, gradual decline OF his days
The moral given is so plainly yet sharp
" set forth that none can miss 1t. "Eo

himself, and when success comes must
bear in mind the fact that there are
other things in life cf greater import
ance than mere money getting mus

Among the papers of JAMES RoBB

but at the time of his death had become
a recluse. The memoir. dated Jan. .

The closing paragraph reads as fol.
lows:

SENATOR DAWES has written a second
letter on civil service reform. Here is
the way he would have it: "l.et the
commissions Of appointees, 50 long as
the Constitution and the law require 1t,
emanate from the President, but let
their selections be made, each by the
man above him, to whom hc is respon-
sible for his work-the Secretary by the
President, the head of the Bureau by
the Secretary, the Chief of Division by
the head OF the Bureau, and the Clerk
i'm each Division by the chief under
whom he serves. And let each one
know that this tenure of office is meas
ured only by his ability to return to his
superior the highest possible results
from the charge thus committed to
him.

THE WORK OF THE REVISORY
COMMITTEE.

SSh III IL
During Z conversation with one OF the
Circuit Court Judges, who called yester-
DAY, to express his appreciation OF the
suggestions which the REGISTER has
been urging upon the RevisOry Commit,
tee relative to reforming our jury sys
tenn, We took occasion to say that the
REGISTER is simply taking upon itself, in
this behalf, a wOrS which more proper
" belongs 10 the Judges and members
of the bar, and which is forced upon it
by their neglect OF duty.
There is no class OF citizens more in
terested in and OF course none more ia.
miliar with, the imperiectlons OF our
judiciary system and their reform, than
the Judges and the lawyers, yet strange
to say, the eminent judge to whom We
reftr-and one whom report says IS do
inc a grand work in his circuit toward
getting business out OF the Anticipated
ruts and SLOW coach, methods oil the past
is averse to taking an active part in
urging the reforms which he admits to
he SD essential.
In our opinion it is very false view
OF p,Opriety, and also oil duty on the
part OF our Circuit Judges to stand aloOi
aud withhold their advice and assist
aEce from the work OF correcting the de-
i,cts Of our court practice.
Ii they do not lend their aid Sho
will? The average legislator cannot
make these reforms because he is lack
ing in experience and knowledge OF the
subject matter. We have been ham,
mering at the Legislature for the last
twenty.iour months on this subjec;,
bat We mightas well have talked Dutch
TO Il goose OF spread panorama for tie
blind. The spirit was willing but tine
head was weak. How can men under
take to legislate upon an abstruse
science about which they know not one
thing?
But We have now come to point in
our legislative history when an oppor-
,unity is opened for these reforms to be
made. the matter IS in the hands OF
committee composed OF able lawyers,
who know the detects of our court prac-
tice and are competent to deal with
them. Ii they DO not realize them
fully they can comprehend them when
pointed out, and they are expecting and
desiring suggestions from members of
the Bench.
Ii there is one duty above another
which this committee owes 20 the State
it is to give special attention to matters
connected with our court practice. 1t
will be some years before our laws will
uu4t rso another revision. The work
of this committee will largely control the
legislature, and when passed upon, will
be incorporated in a code which will
serve for many years. Especially will
this be the case in matters Of practice
and pleading which are seldom disturb
ed by Legislature. Ii the committee do
not cure the defects in this branch OF
the judiciary system they will remain
for the next decade, at least.
Let the Judges, therefore, and all |
the members Of the profession who are
competent to deal with such matters
give such aid as they can in having leg
islation matured that will make our
courts efficient, economical and speedy
vehicles for the dispatch Of the business
dependent upon them. Let US have q
new deal in this direction. |

Ihraa Easy ConundIums

The Pest having remarked that there
was an "amicabie understanding" be-
tween the Democratic party and the
Administration, the Republican wants to
know why it is, then, that the Demo-
cratic party is trying to defeat FOSTER in
Ohio? Why does it oppose CAMERON
in Virginia? Why does it call on the
'unwashed' to rebuke the alleged cor
ruption in New York;
These be easy conundIums.
The Democratic party proposes to oe'
feat Foster in Ohio because it has a
better candidate, better platform, and
3 better cause.
1t opposes CAMERON in Virginia be
cause it believes in an honest admins
,,L,y.. nat State. 1t does not be-
lieve in fraudulently pandering TO the
negro vote. 1t does not believe i'll re-
pudiating any portion OF the public
debt.
It calls on the "unwashed" TO rebuke
the "alleged corruption" at Albany, he
cause unless it is rebuked by the Dem
ocratic party, it will stand unrebnked.
An "amicable understanding" with
the Administration does not imply that
the Democratic party shall disband its
organization or cease to elect candidate s.
1t does not imply that We must wink al
Republican corruption. 1t does no;
imply that We shall join in a Republican
crusade to swindle the bondholders OF q
State out OF thirteen millions OF dollars
1t does imply that the Democratic
party is not disposed to follow the ex'
ample OF the "Stalwarts" and keep up a
iactious, fault-finding, and more or less
ferocious war on the Administration,
simply because it happens TO be OF an
other color from its own. twill support
the Administration in the constitutional
assertion OF its prerogatives, in all ITS
decent appointments, in all It's Just acts
The amicable understanding extends nc

THE SOCIAL EVIL.
The Argument for q New Trial Partially
Argued.

The Argument for New Trial Partially
Argued.
The judges of the district court sat in bane
yesterday afternoon to hear the motion for a
new trial in the cases of Kitty Smith, Nellie
Otis and Emma Lee, keepers Of houses OF i'll
fame, who were committed at the recent sit
ting of the criminal court. The cases were TO
have come up in the morning but owing to a
misunderstanding it was o'clock in The af-
ternoon before the cases were reached. Mr.. G.
D. O'Brien appeared for defendant, Kitty
Smith, Mr.. E.. R. Hollingshead for Emma
Lee and Nellie OTIS, and Mr. Egan for the
State. Owing to the great press OF business
before the court it was decided that Mr.. Egan
should prepare "a brief to be submitted, and
that counsel for the defense should proceed
with their side of the case.
In oper ng, Mr.. O'Biien said there were
three questions on which it was proposed to
rest the motion for new trial, as follows:
That the verdict was against the evidence, the
admissability of testimony and the refusa! OF
the court to charge the jury as requested.
Counsel then proceeded to elaborate on the
subject matter as enunCiaied above, dwelling
in logical sequence on the points arising from
the positions, and citing large humble of
authorities to sustain mis- conclusions.
Mr.. Hollingshead then addressed the court,
assuming substantially the same positions
which were argued from nearly the same
stanJpoint Tue counsel relied gu three OBJ
jeclioas, viz: The testimony regarding the
renutation of defendants for chastity, the in
competent evidence regarding the reputation
of the house, and that The supreme court had
not decided that the state could prosecute the
defendants for the same Offense. Counsel
submitted briefs, and the court adjourned.

Lecture ON Sleep.

DR.. Talbot Jones gave very int resting and
highly instructive lecture on "Sleep and Its
Derangements, before the Y.zM, G. A. last
evening. The lecturer said, in the course Of
his remarks, that the necessity Of sleep is felt
by all organic beings alike. The differences
observed are more due to variations in habits,
modes of life, inherent organic dispositions
than to any inequality in the size Of the brain,
which has been considered by some authors to
be the cause, All animals sleep, and even
plants have their special time for repose. -:
After presenting several opinions in regard
to the cause of sleep, which he very clearly
showed to be incorrect, he gave as result OF
direct experimentation upon the lower order
q animals chat the direct cause of sleep is due
to the circulation of less quantity of blood
through the cerebral tissues. The condition
