system of conveying property the Bar AS
ISOLATION of New York City has under
taken work whose achievement will be
boon to the public as well as the legal pro-
fession. The present methods of passing
titles and recording deeds, mortgages,
&C., are not only cumbrous and inconye-
nient to lawyers, but expensive and often
unsafe to buyers of property. Favorable
action was taken on the report of com
mittee which recommends various changes
intended to simplify and improve the law
and practice relating to forms of convey
ancing, recording deeds Of transfer, Civ
log notice of liens, making searches, &c.
The Recommendation that short and SIM

prepared under the direction Of the Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals be adopted

the advantages that will be gained by
taking the same step here.

Vertigo.

This name Il from Latin word which
means TO turn, and marks the dizzy feel
ing that characterizes the disease. Yer
tigo is frequently thought to be very
dangerous symptom, especially if the per-
son falls who is suffering gom it. 1t is
true, it may be dangerous symptom. Ii
may be caused by serious affection of
the brain, and prove the precursor of a
fatal paralysis. II is this fact that excites
alarm in particular cases.
Vertigo, however, is far from being
necessarily an alarming symptom, and
this should be generally known. Where
there is one case in which it is grave
indication of serious disturbance, there
are many in which it indicates only n
slight and temporary arrangement of
some ofthe organs ofthe body. A violent
attack of coughing may bring 1t on in a
weak person. Tobacco may cause it, by
its action on the nerve csatres. The
staggering Of tipsy man Is due to it. 1t
comes to some persons when they are
in elevated positions, The Imagination
alone can give rise to il.
Some very nervous people suffer greatly,
being unable to raise there heads from
their pillows for days at time without
extreme dizziness; and yet they neither
h"ve nor are threatened with any organic
disease, or any ailment that may shorten
their life.
Vertigo may be caused by loss ofblood ;,
and it is often felt by persons whose
blood Is thin and watery. Strong and
healthy people suffer from it sometimes
because they use improper diet, either too
much in quantity or bad in quality; or
they eat when they are exhausted by
work or worry. Itmay also be caused by
a disturbed condition Of the digestive or
gans generally.
1t is plain what the treatment should
be in the less grave cases-attention to
diet, and such medicines or tonics as
judicious physician would prescribe for
each individual case.

The Future Of Smoking.

A correspondent in London Truth
makes the following prediction in re-
gard to smoking, 1t will strike most of
our readers even those who smoke
that he is decidedly "off" in some of his
statements and remarks. Still there is
no doubt but that the use of tobacco is
greatly on the increase
81 shall not live to see it, but fifty
years will not elapse before smoking is
permitted everywhere. Smoking carri-
ages will be no more needed on rail-
roads than reading carriages. A per-
son, whetherin church, or in law court,
or in drawing-room, will no more ask
permission to smoke than to breathe.
No one accustomed to the smell of to-
bacco objects to it, for it becomes imper-
ceptible. Every one, consequently,
should bring up their children in an
atmosphere of tobacco-smoke, so as to
accustom them to it from their earliest
childhood If | were blessed with
daughters ! should seek out an Irish
nurse for them and insist on her smok
ing every day in the nursery a certain
amount of the strongest tobacco from a
short clay-pipe. In years after my
daughters would not render themselves
Objectionable to the male sex in general,
and their father in particular, by declar-
ing that they could not endure the odor
of cigar or cigaret. All far-seeing pa
rents can readily see the importance of
following out this suggestion"

WEBSTER IN 1852.
What He Really Said When Defeated at
Baltimore.


George Ticknor Curtis in n. Y. Tribune.
Mr.. Webster was not at Marshfield, but
he was in Washington when the Wing
convention assembled at Baltimore. The
convention met on the 10th of June,
1852, and was in session until the 22d.
There were fifty-three ballotings for a
presidential candidate. The number of
votes necessary to a choice was l47. On
the fifty-third balloting Scott had l50
votes, Fillmore ll2, and Webster q
Late in the evening of the 22d, when the
result was known in Washington, Gene
raj Scott was sercnaded at his residence.
The crowd then moved to Mr., Webster's
house, and in response to their call he
addressed them from the window of his
chamber. In my life of Mr.. Webster,
volume 2, p. 232, printed brief report
of his remarks, given by telegraph in the
newspapers of the time. 1t was not a
full version of the speech. The following
corrected report was furnished to me by
a friend long after the publication of my
work, and it will be inserted in the next
edition:
81 thank you, fellow citizens, for your
friendly and respectful call. | am very
glad to see you. Some of you have been
engaged in an arduous public duty at
Baltimore, the object Of your meeting
being the selection of fit person to be
supported for the office of president of
the United States Others of you take
an interest in the result of the dclibera-
tons of that assembly of Wings. 1t so
happened that my name among others
was presented on the occasion; another
candidate, however, was preferred. |
have only to say, gentlemen, that the
convention did, | doubt not, what it
thought best, and exercised its discretion
in the important matter committed to it.
The result has caused me no personal
feeling whatever, nor any change of con-
duct or purpose. What | have been,
am in principle and character; and what
/ am, ! hope to continue to be. Circum-
stances or opponents may triumph over
my fortunes, but they will not triumph
over my temper or self-respect.
Gentlemen, this is a serene and beau
tiul night. Ten thousand thousand
of the lights of heaven illuminate the
armament. They rule the night A
few hours hence their glory will be ex-
tinguished-
Gentlemen, there is not one among
you who will sleep better tonight than
| shall. If / wake, | shall learn the
hour from the consultations and shall
rise in the morning God willing, with
the lark and though the lark is better
songster than | am, yet he will not leave
tne dew and the daisies and spring up
and greet the purpling east with more
blithe and jocund spirit than possess
Gentlemen, | again repeat my thanks
for this mark of respect, and commend
you to the enjoyment of a quiet and sat
isfactory repose. May God bless you

How Bixio Solved n Problem.
San Francisco Argonaut.

Dumas and Gaillardet fought a duel,
by reason of some quarrel they had. 1t
was 1884. They fought with pistols, at
fifty PAGES, advancing to fifteen PAGES and
firing at will after the word Neither
was touched. Although both desired to
continue the duel the seconds, being Of
the regulation French stripe, refused to
allow it.
All but one-Bixio. This gentleman
was good deal like DR.. Slammer of the
Ninety-seventh. lie besought Dumas
(who was an excellent shot to kill Gail
lardet at the first fre-"not that ! have
any feeling against him." quoth Bixio,
"but have heard that every man receiv-
ing a fatal gun-shot wound turns around
before he falls. would like to know il
it be true-purcly from scientific stand
point. Kill him, please"
But Gaillardet lived until 1882.
And now with Bixio? During the
revolution Of 1S4s he was leading a
charge against a barricade in the Rue
Souflot. A ball fired from house-top
struck him in the shoulder, passed
through his lung, making wound fifteen
inches long, and came out near the dor
sal vertebra.
Bixio leaped convulsively into the air,
spun around three times and fell upon
his face.
at is true-they do turn" he muttered,
as the blood gushed from his mouth and
nostrils.
He had solved the problem.

A Fop, but No Coward.

1t is not TO be supposed that the singular
specimens of sartorial extravaganza are
deficient in manly qualities. Foppery in
dress is by no means a sure sign OF either
eileminacy or cowardice; and those who
presume on such appearance, like all who
Judge merely from externals, will, often
be mistaken.
The late Sir Alexander Schomberg ma
ny years commander of the kings yacht,
the Dorset, was, during the whole of a
long life, very great beau. When
young man. he was one day walking down
a fashionable street in London; and, hav-
ing taken out his pocket-hand kerchief,
which was highly perfumed, couple of
bucks, conceiving that an officer so per-
fumed was very safe object of ridicule,
followed him down the street, amusing
themselves with snecrs at him. Sir Alex
ander at length reached his lodging, and,
having knocked at the door, he called one
of the gentlemen and said: "Sir, | per-
ceiyc you have been much taken with the
perfume of my handkerchief' Then,
taking it out with his left hand, he added.
81 request you to smell it closer" at the
same time twinging his nose and tlogging
him with cane. He concluded by infor-
ming him that he was Captain Schomberg,
of the Royal Navy, very much at his ser
vice.

A Corsican Bandit
New York Herald.

Antonio Batistelli, who has been for
many years the terror of the Monte Ro-
nosa and the Monte d'Oro, in Corsica, has
been killed. For some time Batistelli be-
longed tc the class called by the Corsicans
"honest bandits"-that is to say, that he
had killed foeman in quarrel and had
been obliged to fly from justice, living in
the mountains upon what he could get
from sympathetic friends, and even by
levying toll upon sympathetic. foes. But
of late he had lost his title to be consid-
cred an honest brigand by robbing the
iDofiensive peasants Of the district. so
it was resolved that he must be put to
death. An opportunity occurred on the
29th of August, when Batistelli robbed a
doctor of his watch at the village of Vi
vario and was followed to tavern, where
he went to meet fellow brigand named
Cerati. The gendarmes, headed by a
Zouave, who had been wounded at
Reichshofen, surrounded the tavern, but
not in time to prevent Cerati making his
escape to the mountains. Batistelli, how
ever, stood his ground and fired several
shots at the gendarmes, but none of them
took effect, and he was shot by the Zou-
ave, who, ii is feared, will in his turn fall
a victim to the vengeance of the deceased
briCand's friends
