Il was DIR. Samuel johnson who, in
one of his sternest moods, when speak
ing on the question. how far lawyer
ought TO 20 in defense of his client, de.
fined a lawyer TO be an unscrupulous
person who lived by the indiscriminate
defense of right and wrong. Ga an.
other occasion, when questioned by
Boswell how far an advocate ought TO
go, declared it was a lawyers duty to
do for his client what the client would
do for himself il he had the legal
knowledge and eloquence of the for
mer. Burke, who was present, thought
he was going too far, since il implied
that a lawyer ought TO lie through
thick and thin 10 save his client. as,
obviously, the man who had been
guilty Of murder would not hesitate to
commit the smaller crime Of perjury
to save his life. Mr.. Phillips, who
defended Courvoiseur, who assassinated
Lord William Russell, aud was u
well known criminal lawyer, one who
refused 10 defend criminal unless he
made him first full confession of all
the circumstances, on summing up the
defense declared with such emphasis
that, from a circumstance which he
could not relate TO the jury, he knew
that the prisoner was not guilty, and
insinuated that another person was
the real murderer. Unfortunately
for the advocate, Courvoiseur, the
night before the execution, confessed
TO the jailer that he, and he alone, was
the murderer. Phillips was severely
censured by the London press. Com.
mon sense would seem TO declare that
the duties of lawyer are limited Il
giving the client the benefit of his
legal knowledge, and seeing that the
opposing counsel take no advantag,

The will of John T. Johns was
broken by a Baltimore jury, and the
verdict would distribute the estate of
100000 among the natural heirs;
but the lawyers are trying TO impeach
it, on the grouud that one of the jurors
was unduly influenced by a Irritation
in the court room with one of the
parties interested. This person was a
young lady, Of course, and very pretty,
while the juror was a susceptible
bachelor. The evidence is that the
two exchanged glances and smiles dur
ing the trial; that they bowed 10 each
other on meeting in the street; that he
said to a fellow juror, "How can We
give verdict against such a pretty
girli" and that he has since become 4
suitor for her hand.

The Ci 10 FIND.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gen
orally she is not rich. But OH what
a heart she has when you find herl so
large and pure, and womanly. When
you see her you wonder if those snowy
things outside were women.
If you gain her love, your two thou
sands are millions. She'll not ask
you for a carriage or a first class
house. She'll wear simple dresses,
and turn them if necessary with no
vulgar magnifcate to frown upon her
economy. She'll keep every thing
neat and nice in your sky parlor, and
give you such A welcome when you
come home that you'll think your
parlor higher than ever.
She'll entertain true friends on a
dollar, and astonish you with. the new
thought how little happiness depends
on money. She'll make you love
home, (if you don't you're brute),
and teach you how to pity, while you
scorn poor fashionable society that
thinks itself rich, and vainly tries tC
think itself happy. Now, do not,

The Arn7y Norm .

This insect has, from the destruct-
iveness of IFS foraging expeditions,
gained such prominence as to be the
subject of twopage sketch in the
American Encyclopedia. They occur
at irregular periods, and illustrate the
harmlessness of many other insects
for a number of years. They range
from Maine to Texas, but the more
serious depredations occur within the
limits of wheat culture, between lati.
tude 81 and 40 north latitude. In
this latitude they generally make their
appearance in April or May, about
the starting of vegetation. Careful
observations have discovered that wet
summers succeeded by dry ones, are
most favorable to their visitations, but
as the season so far has not been dry,
their march may not prove serious.
The name, army-wOrm, is derived
from the fact that these insects move
in solid columns like the march of II
vast army. They eat clean as they
90, and their movements are by
night, so that a man might go to bed
with luxurant fields and wake up to
find them devastated. In extensive
invasions the armies sometimes have q
front of two or three miles, aud an av-
erage days march is about six miles
The means generally resorted to to
arrest their progress are deep trenches
into which they pile until they fill the
gullies, when they can be easily killed

One of the principal topics of conversa-

the balance of power. The Virginia Cos
sips predict that Malone will endeayOr

say that he will nominate himself
for the Presidency of the Senate and
acting Vice Presidency of the United
States. If he should insist the Republi-
cans would have only the ohoice of
voting for him or a Democrat There is

Dedication of the New Temple at
Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Dec. 27.-The formal dedica-
ton of the new Masonic Temple took
place this evening, the exercises being at
tended by an immense crowd. At eight
O'Clock the Grand Lodge entered the
room, marching three times round, and
took position, with Grand Master Wright,
of Rome, in place. Grand Architect Speer
surrendered his implements of office to
the Grand Master. After impressive dedi-
catOry ceremonies, John S. Davidson, of
Augusta, Past Master, delivered an able
and eloquent address. A fine portrait
of Mr.. Davidson was presented to Webb
Lodge and received by Grand Master
Wright in complimentary terms. The
ceremonies were concluded with pro-
cessiOn of the Grand Lodge and the return
Of the craft to the Blue Lodge room. The
ceremonies were beautiful and the orna-
mentation of the Lodge elegant and ex-
pensive. The miniature lodge dedicated
as a symbol of the Lodge was probably
the handsOmest ever made in Georgia.
The banquet served after the ceremonies
was superb, and after the exercises very
enjoyable. The temple was illuminated
from top to bottom. The audience in the
assembly room was large and highly ap-
nreciatiYe one.

POISONED BY TRICHINR.
Two Persons Dead and Several Others
Still ia Danger.

A Cresco, Iowa, dispatch says. "a most
distressing case of poisoning by diseased
pork has occurred Oh a farm north of this
city. 1t has resulted in the death of two
persons, and the lives of several Others
are still in danger,
One month ago the family of Mr.
August Mast had pork for dinner. There
were present at the table Mr.. Mast, his
wife and three children and a German
girl named Betty Gerhard. Within cew
days all became i'll, and the two doctors
VINO were called IN were unable to do any
thing for them. They grew rapidly worse
and Drs, Etay and Felkner were " snm ~ 9e
moned, and they, after a careful diagnosis
of the case, pronounced them sufferino
from the effects af trichina. They nro.
cured some OF the pork which the famiIy
had eaten, and on placing il under 4
microscope it appeared to be one mass OF
living parasites.
Ihree ~eeks after being taken i'll, and
after suffering terrible agOnies. Mr.. Mast
dled. Betty Gerhard fingered ON for a
week longer, and then she also dieG. Mrs.
Mast, who was i'll at the time of the din
ner, ate very little Of the pork, and will
probably recover. The three children. a
boy II years old, a girl of years, and a
boy Of 2, are still suffering, but hope is
entertained of their recovery.
The IoaoG Plain Dealer has published
letters from physicians describing the
symptoms of trichiniasis. Dir, Weld sug-
gests that the hogs get trichina from eat
ing dead rats, and Drs. Eddy and Felkner
say that cur comparative immunity from
the disease is due to the pork being csher-
ally cooked thoroughly before - is eaten,

SUGAR DUTIES.
Action of the Boston Importers and Re-
finers.

BOSTON, Dec. IA conference OF
sugar refners and importers in Boston
and vicinity was held here to-day. The
meeting was fully attended, every house
being represented. 1t was called specially
to present the views of the trade to the
members of Congress who were present
-Messrs. Bowman, Gambler, Morse.
Ranney and Russell, and to agree upon
some arrangement for the assessment of
duties on sugar. 1t was intimated bv the
congressman present that the differences
among sugar importers and refiners had
hitherto prevented action, and that if a
plan could be united upon, there was
hope Of securing a material reduction in
the tariff. The following resolution was
adopted:
ReSOtUed, That the refiners and import
ers OF sugar of Boston favor a large reduc-
ton IN the duty on sugar, and that to ac-
comphsh this purpose we request our
members OF Congress to favor a schedule
as follows:
On all sugars, melado, etc., not above
seyenty-hYe degrees of palariscOpe test,
and not above No. 13 Dutch standard in
color, 20 cents per 100 pounds, with a pro
rata addition for an excess in the degree
OF polarization, above seventy-five degrees.
which, upon this basis, is cents de-
gree per 100 pounds.
In approving the graduation of the duty
according to the polariscOpe test-we
mean that test which is now used in COM
mercial transactions.
a resolution was also adopted urging
that any bill changing the tariff should
go into effect at once, and another to the
effect that change in the tariff on sugars,
if accomplished by the present Congress,
should be accompanied by provision
similar to that of section of the tariff
act of June 16, 1872, which provides that
change of tariff applied to all sugars then
in bond.
Congressman Moore during the discus
sion said that in opposition to the opin-
ions Of the other Congressman he believed
that if bill were once completed by the
Committee of Ways and Means, it would
then take a political aspect and be put
through by caucus. If it is to pass it
must pass in that way. 1t is unfortunate
ly a business question, but all these ques-
tions are made political questions. / am
very much afraid that no bill will be pass
ed. 1t will, | fear, be brought up late in
the session and be talked to death.
