COunsels' Fees in England.

Let us suppose that Queens Coun-
sci, in the front rank of his profession,
is retained in a case where his powers
of advocacy are, in all likelihood, err
roneously regarded as essential. He
has 100 guineas on his brief; but he is
somewhere else when the case comes
on, and his place is supplied by his ju-
nior. The question, on which Boswell
and DR.. Johnson would have disputed
for hours, is whether the absent leader
is bound to give back his retainer. The
Attorney General says that he should
only keep such part of the brief-fee as
he would have charged for an opinion
on the case, deducting whatever he
regarded as payment for coming into
court. A "barrister of sixteen years
standing" whose tone may be best de-
scribed by Mr.. Carlyle's favorite epi-
thet of "high-sniffing," lays down very
peculiar criterion. Never" so runs
his maxim for barristers, "never retain
a fee which, in the opinion of your
client, has not been earned" This, il
taken literally, would carry one very
far, and he who adopted the rule
might truly be called counsel of per-
fection. 1t is to be feared that no
counsel who lost verdict would then
be paid anything at all-but that is a
detail. What is gain to the conscious
ness OF rectitude, or the desire OF
guineas to the love of virtue? Per-
haps, however, the solicitors, like the
assassins, might be asked to begin.
They, too, in their turn, have clients
who sometimes object or omit to pay.
If man thinks that a solicitor has not
done his case justice, why should the
solicitor retain what in the opinion OF
the client he has not earned? We dc
not advise any dissatisfied litigant to
try the experiment of withholding pay.
ment. He would find that, where their
own interests are touched, solicitors
have more efficlcious remedies than
writing to the Times.
AS for the evil complained of, the
remedy, as in SO many other instances,
is in the hands of the public. If the
rate-payers of this metropolis object to
the extravaganza of the London School
Board, they must. as Mr.. Stanhope
tells them, elect more economical rep

"Which Report is it-'33 or 'S4?"
asked q clerk with two volumes in his
hand.
And Della, scarlet and ashamed, had
to say, Il don't know--it is Mr.. Arnold's
that want"
A man at the next desk lifted his
head curiously, but Della did not see
him. 1t seemed to her that she had
gone through great deal to secure the
doubtful pleasure of seeing Maurice
Arnold's book, but the sight of his
name on the blue cover moved her as
few things had done of late years. She
took 1t with little eager cry, and sat
down to read it.
If Miss Churchill expected O literary
treat, she did not find it. It would
never be in Maurice Arnold's power to
make any one glorious by his pen."
But she found what was perhaps dearer
to her-little turns of expression that
recalled the man she had loved, and
amid the technicalities that might
have deferred a less earnest reader,
evidences of care for the poor
creatures he had to report on, and O
simple intention of fulfilling his duty,
that seemed to show loyal and up
right soul.
"How could he have lied to me so
at Beechwood?" thought Della, and her
eyes filled with tears.
Talking is not allowed in the Read
ing-room, but hand was laid on hers,
and the man who had looked up when
she uttered Maurice Arnold's name
whispered:
"MIiss Churchilll may speak to you
outsider" OF course it was Arnold him.
self, who, by one of those providences
we call lucky chance, had been at the
next table, and to whom the tears that
had fallen on his not very moving book
had been q revelation.
Della did not refuse, and under the
cold eyes of the statues in the "Gre-
clan Room" the tale was told that had
so nearly been told under the beeches
OF Beechwood Chase. Maurice Arnold
was not q poor man now, for Miss
Macksey was dead, and after providing
for her pugs and poodles, had left him
residuary legatee. He was not afraid
of being called fortune-hunter now,
and Della could hardly rise from that
honest, well-meaning book, and doubt
the love its author offered her.
"But who was 'Elaine?'" she asked,
when all was happily settled. And
then, as he only stored-"I mean the
Elaine whose name you carved on the
beech-tree at Beechwood Chase"
"That?" said Maurice, with shout
that almost made the statues wink.
"Do you really care to know, Della? -?
1t was the pug of Miss Macksey's that
was buried under the tree. promised
to put up an inscription for it, but I
never got any further than Elaine"

A Plan for Their Completion Decided Upon
by the Navy Department.
AT the conference at the Navy Depart
ment, between Secretary Whitney, the chiefs
of the bureau of steam engineering and Of
construction and repair, and the members
of the naval advisory board, the plan for
the completion of the unfinished cruisers
Chicago, Boston and Atlanta was ar
ranged and decided upon. The work
on the vessels will be continued at
the yards where they now lie by the
Bureau of Steam Engineering and
Bureau of Construction and Repair, and
they will bear the same relation 10 the
Government as the original contractors did.
The bureaus will be held responsible for
what is done, and the work will be con-
Quoted under the direction of officers repre-
senting the bureaus. The Naval Advisory
Board will have its representatives at the
yards, who will supervise all work and
material, as formerly. If any changes or
notifications in the original plans are
deemed necessary the same course will be
pursued as before the Government took
charge.

THE OLD MAN DREAMS.
BY o. W. HOLMES.

o for an hour of youthful joyl
Give back my twentieth springi
I'd rather laugh a bright-haired boy
Than reign q gray beard king.
OF with the spots OF wrinkled agel
Away with learninR's crownl
Tear out life's wisdom written page.
And dash Its trophies down.
One moment let my life bloom stream
From boyhood's fount OF flame:
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
or life, all love and fame.
Ny listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling. said:
IF but touch thy silvered hair,
Thy hasty wish has sped.
but is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished-for day?"
"Ah, truest soul of woman kindi
Without thee what were life?
One bliss cannot leave behind:
Ill -precious-wife!
The angel took a sapphire pen
Anu wrote IN rainbow dew:
The man would be a boy egain,
And be husband, too.
And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appearst
Remember all their gifts have fled
With those dissolvlng years.
why, yes," for memory would recall
My fond parental Joys;
II could not bear to leave them all
Ill take my girls and boys"
The smiling angel dropped his pen,
why, this will never do;
The man would be a boy again
And be father. too.
And so / laughed: my laughter woke
The household with its noise:
j wrote my dream when morning broke
TO please the gray haired boys.

The NATIONS FINANCES.
The United States Treasurer's Regular
Monthly Debt Statement.

The following is reoapitulation of the debt

her to deny him even the faint intangi-
ble signs that are as words to women |;
and Maurice Arnold was suitor who
shrank from the fantest semblance of
repulse. He must be sure, beyond the
security of other men, this man who
was going to bend his proud neck to
well-dowered Delia's yoke. Gould she
not understand that she was as prin-
cess, set aside from other women by the
burden OF her wealth, and that the
first signs of favor must come from her.
self9 Only her own hand could open
her lovers lips, if he were to escape
the ignominy of seeming to seek mot
love, but gold"
If he could have looked into Delia's
heart he would have known how
groundless was the fear. : he was not
woman who loved or trusted by halves,
and even before there had been any
question of love between them she had
defended him from the imputation of
mercenary motives. He went down
daily to see Miss Macksey now, but
Della did not think he went for
sordld reasons, any more than she be-
lieved Coventry Smith when he laugh
ed and limited that there must be some
thing more attractive than an old aunt
in the village to account for the young
mans visits. Della listened with her
coolest and most scornful smile, and
went out into the park, where the sun
was setting and the shadows were lying
on the grass, and where Maurice-she
had begun to call him Maurice to her
own heart would be coming on
his way from Miss Macksey's.
At last she saw the gray coat she had
learnt to know so we'll moving among
the trees, and stopped and looked with
innocent surprise. He was down by
the brook, which was not the way from
the village, and it struck her that there
was something unusual in his attitude
and occupation. She stepped silently
on the soft, yielding grass, and saw
that he was cutting something on one
of the great beeches. Her name-of
course it was her name and she laugh
ed at the thought. Perhaps it was a
boyish and foolish thing to do, but no
woman very deeply censures folly that
is committed for her sake.
She would not reveal herself, and
wandered idly among the trees, gath
ering boughs for Lady Darley's beau
pots till he had gone, and then she
walked straight to the tree he had just
left. There was name upon it, but it
was not hers, and she stood as if turned
to stone. The name he loved, the name
he had cared to carve even when she
was waiting for him, was not Delia-it
was Elaine
"And 1 thought he loved me for my
SELF" said Della, bitterly-"I have
learnt the truth in time"
