Lawyers Guilty of Bad Habits.

When Dickens wrote his "Amer-
lean Notes." our eountrymen were
greatly aggrieved by his ridicule of
our national habits of splitting and
cooking our heels up. There was a
very genera denial that we were
guilty of these breaches of deco
rum, at least, in public, or to any
greater extent than other people.
In recent mum Der of the Chicago
Legal Advertiser we find the fol-
lowing touching plea OF guilty to
the latter charge on the part of our
profession: "AIter the summer Va
cation it is expected that the sew
eral courts will be located in the
new Court House. In anticipation
of this, 1t is ventured to remark,
in a friendly way, that the mem.
bers of the bar will not, as some of
them have been known to do in
the present Court House, convert
the tables and ratings of the vari-
Gus court-rooms into foot-sto9s.
Outside of a question of manners
and good. breeding, this should not
be done. Such scenes have been
witnessed almost daily. 1t does
not become the dignity of lawyer
to perch his feet on the railing im-
mediately ia front of the Judge
and Clerk, and expect them to have
any favorable esti nation of the
party or his breeding. Pride in
having our court.rooms neat and
clean should possess every lawyer.
1t should not te necessary in our
State Courts, as has been done in
the United States Court, to place u
sign on each table not to put your
feet on tho table. Let self-respect
and good-breeding govern each at
torney in this respect" So Dick
ems was rig ht. after all, about these
matters Now the question is,"Do
we whittle?"-Albany LaW Jour

phen ]. Tying, Jr., stepped down
from his pulpit and entered the in
suranoe business as the General
Manager, at Paris, of a leading in
stitution In that line. As he was
a notably successful clergyman,
commanding very high salary,
and compelling large audiences by
bis conspicuous ability, the pre-
sumption is that he is very prac-
teal man. Yet, Protestant divine
as he was, one of the last acts of
Mr.. Tyng's ministerial career WAS
to express. from his pulpit, q be-
lief in the genuineness of the mir
acles of Lourdes. Notwithstand-
ing the prodigious advances which
have been made in the practical
sciences in latter days, the belief
in the supernatural seems as Wig
orous as ever. While we have GOT
ten over our superstitions as to the
flights of birds, and while we should
disdain to receive instructions from
the entralls of anima ais, all men, of
whatsoever denomination, and
even the professed non-believer,
respond, in some shape, to the
pfomptings of the marvellous.
While the story of Voltaire's re-
carnations on his death bed is dis
puted, amongst the rest, by our own
President, Jefferson, and while the
historian Hume took ample meas
ures to leave an exact record of
the incidents of his death, which is
generally prefixed to editions of
his History of England, it is quite
likely that both would have
shrunk from making one of thir-
teen at a able, and neither, in all
would have been COR
tent to start on long sea voyage
on a Friday.

ACCORDING to newspaper para
graph which we lately found in
some forgotten exchange, the gift
Of prophecy has had a very recent
confirmation. The story runs that,
some time before the death of the
present Pope Leo's brother, a lady
desired an audience of His Holt
mass, which he granted. In the
conference which followed, she
told him that his brother was CO.
ing to die shortly, giving him the
exact date of that melancholy
event. She followed this intima-
ton with the somewhat emollient
tidlngs that the Pope himself was
to live to q very green old age.
The death of his brother having
happened exactly as the seeress
predicted, the Pope made public
the singular prophetic coincidence.
Doubtless the venerable prelate
enjoys . measurable satisfaction
IN the good woman's apparent gift
Of divinatfon. Irrespective OF re-
llgion, . strong vein Of superstition
runs through great men as well ss
all women. Marius and Julius
Cesar were as full Of 1t as was
CaIpurnis, the wife of the latter.

A CAREFUL perusal of the press
of Southern California shows that
there is a painful lack of unanim-
ity,at least amongst the journalists,
as respects the prof scted State of
South California. However. a
great many converts can already
be reckoned up and 1t may we'll be
that the coming convention will
do much to modify the sentiment
on that head. The convention will
at least demonstrate the fact that
many of the most influential and
thoughtful men of both parties in

FROM the fact that great many
irish names appear upon the DEM

natives of San rancisco-who are
notable for strong and sterling
traits of character. The attempt
to create the impression that an
