Law and Civil Society.

Associate Justice Bradley, of the United States
Supreme Court, recently delivered lecture at
the University of Pennsylvania, it being the inau-
gural lecture of the winter law The learn
ed Judge said: "All law is the product of the
requirements of civil society. Without it society
could not exist. To be successful lawyer, states
man or legislator it is necessary to study the
usages and requirements of society. lam in favor
of teaching the law in such Invitations this,
for it makes scientific lawyers; but you must have
practical illustration of the application of the
law, and it will require many years of stldy and
a walk in the same old ruts others have trodden
before you will succeed One of the great require
ments of success is a perfect knowledge of the
law. lawyer without this knowledge might
be compared to n seventy. four-pound gun ship on
sand bar-exposed to the fire of the other vessels
but unable to bring her guns to bear"
The lecturer quoted many things that lawyer
should know, among which was by what authority
a telegraph pole is placed in front of mans
door. "a lawyer should know almost everything y
said he. "a lawyer must, in addition to being
an orator, be an accomplished gentleman; rich
in general information, for he is the priest of law.
He must be incorruptibe. Of great integrity and
a high sense of honor. true lawyer cannot help
but have these requirements. He will be fit for
any office of trust to judge and rule in the high
est places of magistracy."

MD-S Stealing horses in Delaware, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, is very bad business fol
the thief if he gets caught. One who was recent
ly convicted was sentenced to pay the costs Of
prosecution, 500 restitution money, 5000 fine,
to stand one hour in the piory, receive 20 lashes
and then suffer eighteen months Imprisonment.
1t is on account of this kind ofpunishment, espe-
cially the whipping, that discreet horse thieves
down in that neighborhood generally prefer to
cross the line, which is not very far off, and select
their stock in Pennsylvania and Maryland. But
Delaware is not so hard upon horse thieves as the
people OF the Southwestern States, where THIS par
ticular crime is looked upon as such a heinous
offence that the thief when caught is hung with
out the benefit of judge or jury.

Prepared Pears.-At this time of the year q
good many families have such quantities of ripen-
ed pears that they can neither eat nor profta-
bly, dispose of them. lady who has tried it finds
this an excellent use to make of them. Cut them
in thick slices, stew them, and then, in open oven
dry them thoroughly, if it takes two days. They
come out all honeyed over with their own sweet
ness. and fog like in their substance and consist
ency, at once suggesting both raisins and figs.
And they are excellent eating, far finer than any
one would believe without trying. They will
keep, it is said, year or two.

Trouble from q Collision.-The Hartford
Democrat of last week says: "As the horses and
wagon of Mr.. Robert Forward, who lives near
FalIston, were being driven along the York road
by a colored man, the wagon collided with an
other, belonging to Mr.. Cherbonnier. young
lawyer of Towsontown. Mr.. Cherbonnier, consid-
ering himself badly treated, deliberately unhooF-
ed one of Mr.. Forwood's horses and took him as
penaty for the injury received. Mr.. Forwocd,
by Col. Mcintosh, his attorney, replevied the
horse, but when last heard from had not recover
ed the harness. In addition to this difficulty Mr..
Forwood was struck in the eye with stone, on
Friday night, in Towsontown, receiving an in
Jury which entirely closed his eye and is appar-
emily of very serious nature"

Pool Selling.-The Turf Field and Farm
says the authorities have closed the pool-rooms in
Baltimore but we presume some arrangement will
be made to keep alive the betting privileges at
Pimlico. Speculation on horse races should be
confined to the track on whichthe races are run.
The clubs which own chartereRtracks have full
authority inside the Enclosures, and they will see
to it that betting is fairly conducted Should they
fail to do so, the people would leave them alone
and bankruptcy would be the end The pool rooms
in towns do not contribute any thing to SPORT and
they encourageidleness and dishonesty. Thecos
ing of them will benefit legitimate turf enterprises.
Had there been no rooms in cities where pools
we're sold on horse races, boat races, baseball
games and elections, the Legislature of the great
State of New York would not have passed q sweep
ing law making it g misdemeanor to bet on races
taking place in running and trotting parks
Jockey and driving clubs will best consult their
own interests by joining in the movement to sup
press betting rooms located outside the chartered
incloeures.

Black Bass.-A gentleman who has studied
the fish supply of Maryland waters is alarmed at
the results which have been produced by the in
PRODUCTION of bass. They are very voracious in
their habits and attack all kinds of aquatic life
for food. They have either devoured or driven
away most of the native fish, have greatly d.
minished the number of cells, and have even de-
stroyed, many of the turtles and water snakes.
He saws if this wholesale destruction continues it
will not be long before the bass will be almost
the only fish in our waters, and then the question
rs to their future food will be difficult to decide.

Disposal Of the pead-awbat Shall we Do

Disposal of the Dead.-"What Shall we Do
With Our Dead ?" was the title of a paper read at
the recent meeting of the Maryland Sanitary
Convention held at the Blue Mountain House, by
DR.. st. George W. Teackle, in connection with
which he read letter from Mr.. B. F. Horwitz
giving detailed description of the cremation Mt
washington, Pa, recently, of the body of Or.
Samuel Gross, the eminent surgeon, of Philadel-
phia. accounts of which have been published.
DR.. Teackle fovDrs cremation, and reasoned in
support of it as follows: The body having served
az the abode of the spirit, nature Immediately be
gins to utilize it food for the vegetable king
dom in the form of carbonic acid gas, water,
ammonia and earthly clements. This she does by
decomposition. From sanitary point, our pres
ent mode Of disposiDg of our dead is absolutely
defective No one will dispute that localities in
the immediate neighborhood Of crowded cemeteries
are unhealthfu tpidemics have been traced to
well-springs flowing from burying grounds. The
writer himself for several seasons has observed
10 the early spring months n sickening odor in
the neighborhood of large cemetery. This odor
has been investigated several times by both State
and city authorities, and was supposed to have
its origin in certain dstleries and factories, but
though they complied with the orders Of the
authorities, it was only partially rectfed. The
mortality of epidemcs has been ased by the
numbers buried, and often imperfect burials from
fear of contagion. Another objection to the pres
ent system, he mentioned is the danger of bury
ing alive, which is very infrequent in ordinary
times, he was happy to say. but sometimes occurs
in great epidemics. Another objection is that of
danger Of grave robbery, which he is led to be-
lieye is of very much more frequent occurrence
than is supposed This is practced not only in
Potter's Fields and asylum burying grounds, but
in the best and wealthiest cemeteries, as proved
by several cases reported in the daily papers in
the last year so. The business is lucrative
one, judging from the high prices students have
to pay for bodies. What is the proposed substi
tuteq Follow natures indications. Do the work

cation, rapidly, thoroughly, and without endan-
gering the health of the survivors. A well con
structed furnace will rapidly reduce the body to

the innocuous residue: First, Spread them on
the ground and thereby return to mother earth
