The Laws Uncertainty.

"1Hc law is 8! sort of hocus-pocus
sccncc," says an old play, land the
glorious uncertainty of it is OF more use
TO the professors than tho justice of it,
An incident in the ofiic nj life OF Lord
Chancellor Eldon illustrates the truth
fitness Of the dramatist's remark He
6fiCe referred certain case to three
courts below, in succession, to decide
what Il particular document was. Not
one of them agreed With either of the
other two as to the legal name of the
document. The Court of Kings Bench
decided it was lease in fee; tho Com
mon Pleas, that it was lease in tail;
the Exchcquer, that il was q lease for
years. When the document came back
to the Lord Chancellor, he decided that
it was no lease at all.
An anecdotc, which IN Irish Judge
used to tell with great glee, illustrates
the laws uncertainty, when admins
tered by attorneys, and its certainty
when plain man decides the case on it's
merits A suitor complained to this
Judge that he was "ruinated," and
could go no further with his case.
Then you had better" said his Hon
or, "leave the case to be decided by
reference" ........
ITO be sure will" answered the
man; "Pve been now at law thirteen
years and can't get on at all, at all. Pm
willing to leave the case to one honest
nun, or to two attorneys, whichever
your lordship pleases."
You had better toss up for that"
said the Judge, laughing. . ..I..
Two attorneys were appointed, how
ever, and in a years time they reported
that they could not agree.
The matter was then left to an honest
farmer, and in week the parties came
into court and said that the plain, un-
professional r0Sorae had settled tho case
to IhoIr satisfaction, %. YoutNa V0alpqiss

Romance Of n Violin.

Of @eblth ,and luxury. One of these mu-

young italian girl. She is ID years old,
and yet has alrtndy taken the first prize
for the violin at the Paris Conservatory.
She lioA twenty-four competitors frons 10

by tlfc ttufttiin0tts consent Of nine of the

this musical prodigy is die chiefly toherr
father, bricklayer of Turin. He cnrn{ed
80 cents day, but out of this sum, ~
laying aside l cent daily, saved - and
bought an Old violin. Without in

the father saved money enough to take
them to Paris. A lady Of Nice gave
him letter to Monsieur Massart, Di.
rector of the Conservatory, who immedi-
ately perceived the astonishing talents

of the story, for the father had no more

Theresa's instruction? Monsieur Mas

SECRETARY LINCOLN evidently does
not share the views which prevail among
few military officers in regard to what
is necessary to constitute an offense
under the article of war relating to con.
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man." He has raised the question
whether an officer who persistently re.
fuses or neglects to pay his debts does
not render himself amenable to trial
under this article. In this position he
is quite at variance with the General OF
the Army, who, not long since, main.
tanned that an officer might even make q
biackguard Of himself without being
subject to trial for "conduct unbecom.
ing an officer and gentleman" provid-
ing the act was not done while the Off.
Ger was in the discharge Of q military
duty.
