made for the profession, ana
adding a few Forms, published it I'M
der a similar title. He became con-
WINGED that many chapters on new
topics and very many more forms
were necessary to make the book as
useful as it might be, and he finally
prepared the present Enlarged and
Improved edition, 1t is, as stated, a
great improvement on Lord Saint
Leonard's. First, while Lord ST.
Leonard's book was a small one, this
improved edition of Judge Parsons
is enlarged to embrace many more
subjects, and from its great size is
enabled to go, and does go, much i'll
to detail on the subjects treated.
Some idea may be formed of its
comprehensiveness by considering
that it embraces 952 large octave
pages, with every legal subject under
the laws of business fully and ably
discussed in separate and distinct
chapters. A second improvement on
Lord st. Leonard's book is, his book
had no Forms, while Judge Parsons
work embraces nearly three hundred
of such as have stood the test of judi.
cial criticism and been approved. o.
these the author well says: 'He
must be bold lawyer who would
undertake to prefer Forms of his Owr
make to those which the courts and
common use have sanctioned" A
critical examination of these Forms
satisfies the writer that they comprise
the best collection he has ever exam
ined. The book seems to be univer.
sally accurate, and, as such, the writer
cOmmends it as well to the bar as tC
the business men and property-hold
ers generally.

Laws of Business,

BY THEOPHILUS PARSONS, L, L. D.
There has come under our notice a
most valuable book, the design and
general character of which may I've
learned from the following descrip-
zion of it, which we quote from a
writer in an American Law Journal ;
Many years ago, Sir Edward Sug-
den, then in the zenith of his power
as lawyer, wrote, in one of the Eng
lish Law Journals, series of LET
tiers to a Man of Property" These
letters were written in an attractive
and popular style, and embraced
such legal subjects as would be of the
greatest interest and use to country
gentleman remote from town, who
desired toiayoid vexatious mistakes,
and had often to act, from want of
advice, on his own judgement. Many
of these letters were written, and the
journal in which they were published
was much sought for, both in Eng
land and in this country. So popular
did they become, and so well did
they cover the ground, that they
were subsequently collected and pub
lished ia book form. The book met
with a wide circulation and, after
Sir Edward became Lord Saint Leon
ard, it was rewritten and new edi-
tion given TO the public, called, l
think, Lord Saint Leonard's Laws
of Property" which was still more
popular with the legal profession and
with business men.
Judge Parsons new work on the
"Laws of Business" was evidently
Intentionally or otherwise-modeled
after Lord Saint Leonard'S book, but
is, for reasons hereafter given, great
improvement on it,. Who Theophilus
Parsons is, is known 10 every lawyer,
as he is the learned author of num-
Der of books which have become
classical in the profession. He was a
long time on the bench as Chief JUS
tice of his native State, which posi-
ton he resigned to accept the Profes.
sorship of Law in Harvard Univer-
sity, which place he filled for twenty
two years. In every position in
which he has acted, whether as law.
yer, Judge, or lecturer, he has distin-
guished himself,
From such a man we would hardly
expect bad book, and his present
work is eminently a useful one. He
first attempted to make such a book,
compiling 1t from the books he had

The Constitution Question.

The question CT a new Constitution
is at present being agitated over
this State. The american of Sunday
says:
"There is a general desire among
Democrats that the next legislature
submit to the vote of the people call
for a constitutional convention. Some
of those holding office, which they
secured after hard fight, and heavy
expenditure of money, say that no
convention should be called next
year, because it might endanger the
party in such counties as Charles and
Frederick. These men think that
the office-holders will exercise suffi-
cient influence to prevent the calling
of the convention, and in this way
keep in Office for full term the men
elected last November. The "outs, "
however, are more numerous than
the Inns" and Democrats, as a rule,
are anxious to have the convention
called. Those opposed to it claim
that the main dissatisfaction is on the
Judiciary system, and that consti-
tutiOnal amendment relating to the
judiciary will answer the purpose.
The managers answer, however, that
it would never do to legislate out of
office the judges of the courts without
making a clean sweep all around.
They believe the people would not
submit to any action which would
have the appearance of blow at the
judiciary of the State"

State Of Trade.

NEW YORK, NOV. 2S.-BrddStreet'S
in its commercial summary says:
The prevalence of unfaYOrahle wealth
err and the suspension of business one
day during the week were respOn-
sible for a decline in the aggregate
transactions as COMPARED with pre-
VIOus weeks, but the falling off in the
dry goods trade was in addition to
the loss attributable to these influ-
ences. In this line it has been the
most inactive week of the season.
Commission houses at Eastern CEN
tres have not been doing much, and
jOhhers less,
The movement of grocery staples
has been disappointing, with weak
sugar and coffee markets. Dairy pro-
ducts are still depressed with small
export demand. The wheat market
has declined almost steadily during
the week. Causes for this are COM
prised in the stubborn refusal of
foreigners to purchase more freely in
this market, the increased receipts at
Western primary markets and steady
increase in the visible supply. Flour
has been weak and lower in sym.
pathy with wheat. Hog products
have been quite irregular, but, as
compared with last week are higher.
There is no new feature in iron, steel
or coal. Petroleum certificates, owing
to active and powerful manipulation
were broken some II cents per barrel
within few days. The total num-
Der of failures tins week were 225, as
compared with 234 last week.
Boston, Nov. 23..-The AdrertiSer
in the weekly review of the wool
market says. The market has shown
considerable activity during the past
week, and considering the fact that
sales are for five days only, the week
being broken 10y the national Thanks
giving Day. the amount of business
done has been large. In some eX-
treme cases fine Ohio tleeces have
been sold at full figures, one lot of
100000 lbs being reported at 27037r,
which takes in the low grades along
with the very choicest.

the question Of a contest. 1t WIS uR-
derstOOd that they were backed in
this by Senator Joseph E Brown.
Attorneys have been engaged, and it
looks as if trouble might result on
that score. The Constitution Of to-
morrow, however, which has been
neutral in the contest, will urge that
the contest be abandoned, and that
the local option law be given fair
test.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. IA most
important move has been taken in
the Atlanta local option matter, which

nesday. The local option prohibits
the sale of all but native wines, hut
il does not prohibit the importation
OF foreign wines, and ii has been de-
cided by the Supreme Court of The
United States that permission to
import carries with it the right to

in court as having their vested rights
destroyed. The consequence of this
action will be to have the whole
question of the constitutionaIity of
local and general prohibitory laws
decided by the United States Su-

Hendricks Successor.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-The drift of
talk among the visiting politicians
here tonight is entirely in the direc-
ton of the successor to the Vice Pres
idency. Speculation as TO the proba.
BILE one to be chosen seems to divide
almost equally between Senators
Sherman and Logan as the most
likely ones, while many regard Sem
ator Edmunds as probable, and, in a
certain contingency of affairs, Sena-
tor Allison. of Iowa, will develope
considerable strength. The sent;-
ment has grown steadily whenever
men have got together to discuss the
Vice Presidency, that Gen. Logan is
entitled to the votes of all Rppubli
cans for the place for which he was 50
recently the party'S candidate, and
tho influence which this fact brings
him will probably make him the
leading candidate before the caucus.
When the Senators assemble in Wash
ingtOn, however, other cOnSidera-
ti0ns, such as party policy or the de-
mand tor new events, may outweigh
Gen. Logan's claims.
A prominent politician of National
reputation discussed the question
among group of his kindred to-
night. He said: "The place must
he given to Logan or Sherman. AS
the situation now stands do not see
that any other name should be con-
sidered. Both of these men repre-.
sent more than any other two in the
Senate, the running views and ideas
of the party to-day, and more than
that they have taken the foremost
ground and in the most ourspoken
stand of the party leaders on the two
great questions before the people to-
day, the rights of the ballOl-box and
protection to the finances Of the coun-
try as well as to its industries. AS

Funeral OF Vice President Hendricks

| INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Dec. 1.-The
mortal remains of Thomas A. Hen
bricks, the fifth Vice President of the
United States to die during his term
of Office, were conveyed to the tomb
to-day. The event was made mem.
orable in many respects by the pres
ence of tremendous concourse OF
people from all parts of the nation to
witness the simple rites which pre-
coded their interment.
The presage of Indictment weather
on the day of his funeral which was
given yesterday was verified only to
the extent of wintry, leaden sky
and thick atmosphere during the
early hours unusual to this latitude.
The heavy fog of the preceding after
noon still hung over the city when
the day broke, but as the hours wore
on lifted somewhat and became less
impenetrable.
The sombreness Of the heavens was
reflected even more deeply in the ap-
pearance of the city which witnesses
the development of his career. Its
chief structures were hidden in their
folds of black drapery, while to the
occasion were lent all the forms which
people can observe to show their
respect for the dead. The business
of the city was entirely suspended.
The clergy, without respect to sect,
joined in the obsequies, the bells of
all the churches tolled requiem, and
the presence of the populace in the
column which followed his funeral
car or stood as silent spectators of the
solemn spectacle attested their feally
to his memory.
The early morning trains on all
railways brought delegations from
the national capital and the leading
cities of the Union together with an
influx of people from all the interior
cities and hamlets of Central Indiana
and Illinois.
The cabinet was represented by
Secretary Bsyard, Secretary Lamar,
Secretary Whitney, Secretary Endi-
colt and Postmaster General Villas.
The Supreme Bench of the United
States was represented by Associate
Justices Matthews and BIatchford.
The United States Senate was rep
resented by Senators Edmunds, ALI
son, Pugh, Harris, Conger, Blair,
Dolph, Vest, Beck, Camden, Vance,

about her husbands last moments.
The family servants, two of whom
had lived with Mrs. Hendricks for
years, ran about the house crying and
moaning, and there was the utmost
confusion for a time.
Mr.. Hendricks died in his private
chamber, a large, comfortable room,
in which he did the most of his work.
Near his bedside was case contain
ing legal and political works, and on
his desk were his papers, memoranda
and many letters, which had been
allowed to accumulate without an.
swering in the last two or three days.
His dressing-gOwn and slippers were
at his bedside, and near by was a
small stand on which were various
medicines. Portraits, landscapes and
bric-a-bric adorned the walls of the
room.
DR.. Thompson says that in his
opinion Mr.. Hendricks died of para
Iysis of the brain and there will pSah
ably be a post. mortem examinafioh
to establish what the disease was.
