The Best Advice:

It Is narrated that John K. Porter, now famous throughout the state for his brilliant attain ments, when a young man was assigned by the court the defense of man charged with assault in the second degree to give the ac> cused the best advice he could under the circumstances and to bring the case to a trial with all convenient speed. Porter imme- diately retired 10 an adjoining room to consult with his client and returned shortly without him.
 "Where is your client?" de- manded the astonished Judge.
 "He hasleft the place, l Iguess," replied Porter with the most re- freshing sang froid.
 LelC tne lace! w nat uO you mean, MT. Porter"
 "Why your honor directed me 10 give him the best advice I could under the circumstances He told me he was guilty so I ad- vised him to cut and run for it. He took my advice, as a client ought, opened the window and skedadled. He is about a mile away now"
 The very audacIty of the young barrister deprived the court of the power of speech and nothing came Of the matter.

Captain Eads, who has lately made an inspection of the situa~ tion, now declares that within two years the Mississippi is likely to be deflected from its present course past New Orleans down the Alchafalaya directly to the Gulf.

The latest theory of malaria is that the principal source of the fever and exhaustion is to be sought in the slowly but cumula- lively poisonous influence of the relatively large amount of car bonic acid in the atmosphere of malarious districts, generated by vegetable decay, by evaporation of soil moisture laden with it, or by upturning of earth saturated with that compound. Recent measurements of the carbonic acid in the soil, as compared with the amount present in normal atmos- phere, have shown that their re- lative proportions are as 250 to l.

The Silver Lining.

The Silver Lining. There's never a day so sunny
 But little cloud appears; There's never life so happy
 But has had its time of tears; Yet the sun shines out the brighter
 When the stormy tempest clears. There's never garden growing
 With roses ln every plot; There's never heart so hardened
 But it has one tender spot; We have only to prume the border
 To find the forget-me-not. There's never cup so pleasant
 But has bitter with the sweet; There's never path so rugged
 That bears not the prints of feet; And we have helper promised
 For the trials we may meet. There's never a sun that rises
 But we know twill set at night; The tints that gleam in the morning At evening are just as bright; And the hour that is inc sweetest
 Is between the dark and the light. There's meyer dream that's happy But the waking makes us sad; There's never a dream of sorrow
 But the widening makes us glad; We shall look some day with wonder At the troubles we have had.

The Oakland Tragedy.


 fornia, are still fresh in the minds of the public. The following is 6
 woman's opinion of the affair:
 My DEAR or course you have heard of the Oakland tragedy, another man sent to his grave for tho sake of worthless woman. Granting that her story be true and that her physician was guilty as she describes him, was it not her fault as much as his? I cannot understand husband making a murderer of himself for a silly little fool who has not suffl- cient strength of character to be faithful. A fathers or brothers wrath over the seduction of . young girl is just: and the sooner they revenge her by wiping her seducer out of existence, the bet. ter satisfied is the public. Even if a husband discover accidently his wife's dishonor and is led to the commission of crime on the impulse of the moment, there Is some excuse for him, but when he pretends to believe that she has been an willing victim for months, and he carries the burden of disgrace about with him for weeks, and finally shoots her lover in cowardly, coId-blooded manner, hanging is too good for him. If were on the jury at his trial. l would condemn him to death, for it is time there should be an example 10 stop these adas- tardIy murders.
 What security have any of our physicians? They are all heset by a crowd of silly women who imag. inc there is something the matter with them, who grow historical lon the subject, construe gentle- manly civiIity into love- making, and probably become foolishly infatuated. The physician is not slow to discover that infaruation what man is? Ifhe be tempted into forgetting his honor, or if he remain indifferent to thecharmer, lie is in danger of his life. As, the woman's lover, he is sure 10 tire of her sooner or later, and when that time comes, she falls back on her husband for revenge; as her scorner, he only precipitates hIs fate, for woman so weak in vir- tue is strong in hate, even unto death. Any man of ordinary at fractions is liable to become the object of some woman's unholy passion. do not say that he will not meet her more than half way, or even make the first advance, but should she dismiss him later on, he will not revenge himself by betraying her secret. To be sure a great many men talk bom- bas!ically of their conguests, and, by mods and winks, insinuate much that is often not true. Their vanity Is accountable for the weakness, and it is so well known that it fails in effect; but there should be no sympathy for & who can be so mean and wicked as to ta;tle of her own dis grace, and endanger the life of the man for whom she has Such a one, when she has accomplished her paramour's death, and her husband has suf- fered the extreme penalty Of the law, ought to be imprisoned for fife as an accOmplice in the crime. But I have talked of horrors long enough, and I will beg your par don, and change the subject.
