they get any view at all of the landscape it is as reflected in each others eyes, There is no landscape in the world equal to that, if the eyes are pretty; that is, if they reflect well.

Talking about seeing four States at once and a hundred villages and the Hudson river! This young gentleman sees the whole world; and the charming girl who has en- tangled him with her long eyelashes knows it as well as he does. This is an appreciation of scenery that goes to the heart. They never forget this view all their lives. If the young lady is asked to describe it when she goes home, she will not be able to mako half good description of it as the fat man, but how much more she saw and felt! The fat man just carried away with him map, but this girl-heaven be kind to her has gone away with piece of scenery in her heart that all mankind desire, and that life would be poor without. We have seen some travellers who say they prefer the seashore to scenery. This is mere matter of taste. What the Drawer prefers is the eyes of the young lady that have the power of transmit ing everything into beauty.

THE LAWS. DELAY.

THE LAWS DELAY.
 The American Bar association has been discussing at Saratoga one subject which is of interest to great many who are not memt bers of the association. This is ''the laws delay" It is 8 matter which ought to be discussed. The slowness of legal processes causes cases to accumulate on the dockets l until in some courts the task of ever dispos ing of them seems hopeless one, and those who are seeking justice despair of obtaining it on this side of the grave. As illustrations the most important two courts of the coua- try may be cited.
 At the close of the session of the Supreme court of the United States beginning in Oc- tober, 1883, and ending in May, 1884, (called the October term) there were eight hundred and forty-five cases on the docket, and dur ing the October term in 1884 four hundred ing 1,315 cases. During the latter term (which ended May, 1Ss5.} only four hundred and sixty-four cases were disposed of Qess than the surplus coming over from the pre- vious term} and eight hundred and ffty-one remained undisposed of. It is estimated that the docket at the end of the next term will be encumbered with thirteen hundred cases.
 The condition of affairs in the New York it is bad enough. The number of appeals on the calendar of this court at the beginning of 1885 was seven hundred and sighty-two, and when the court adjourned for the sum- mer vacation at the end of June the number was eight hundred and twenty -three-show- ing that business is also accumulating in this court.
 In many other courts in this country the judges are far behind in their work. In the report made by Judge Dillon and David Dudley Field to the Bar association the principal causes of this state of things were very concisely stated as follows: Complex pro cedure, inadequate judiciary, procrastination, retrials, unreasonable appeals, uncertain law. And the following confession was made: We are obliged to admit that most of the blame for the delay and uncertainty which we have been discussing rests upon the pro- fession of which we are members in both it's branches, whether on the bench or at the bar. We are a host in numbers; we have infiu- ence, direct and indirect, greater than that of any other profession or class of men in the country; we are part and parcel of the judicial establishments; we know best the laws of the land as they are, and we should know best what they ought to be; we can make ourselves heard and needed in every legislative hall, every executive chamber and on every bench of justice, and we have given pledges, not less binding because not expressed in words, that the functions with which the State has endowed us shall be used to promote justice, not alone by assist ing suitors in their private controversies as they arise, but by doing our best to make the occasion of such controversies as few as possible, and the issue thereof as speedy and as near right as we can make them.
 These are very true words. The commit tee also made some recommendations con corning remedies. But the best remedy would be better judges and better lawyers.
