The Michigan supreme court has set Z
wholesome precedent in criminal Law. Il ID
the old story; two sharpers, ostensibly
strangers, in reality confederstes: country
man; bet on drawing particular card; q
fool and his money soon parted. One of the
swindiers was tried for larceny and convicted
His lawyer raised. the objection that the
offense was not larceny. The question went
to the supreme court. awe do not think II
profitable, said the judges of that tribunal
"to draw overnice metaphysical distinctions
to save thieves from punishment. II rogues
conspire to get away mans money 10y such
tricks as those which were played here. it il
not going beyond the settled rules of law to
hold that such fraud amounts to stealing.
This decision shows an amount of common
sense that is in refreshing contrast to the
judicial hair-splitting through which crimi
nails often escape the clutches of the law

lido not think il is generally known
that there are two Gibraltars in Anda-
lusia One is the solid and substantial
rock-built fortress which owns Queen
Victoria as its sovereign; the other is q
fantom city, Of which Alfonso XII. is
lord. After the capture Of Gibraltar
by the British in 1734 the inhabitants
dispersed throughout the neighboy-
hood, finding refuge for the most part
in the Villages OF Los Barrios and San
Royne and amidst the ruins of the an
cient City of Algeciras. 1t was some
years, however, before the officers and
gentlemen of the City of Gibraltar took
steps to assert their existence as q corr
porate body, which still retained vitali-
ty after the capture of their city. They
accordingly met in SOLEMN conclave
under the Presidency of their Cor
regidor, Don Bernardo Diaz de Isla,
and declared the complete re-establish-
ment OF the Cabildo or Council OF the
City of Gibraltar, appointing San
Royne for the time being as the locali-
ty in which the tribunal should meet.
Since that time, in the degrees of the
King of Spain and in other official
documents, the three towns are not
named separately. but are styled "Our
most loyal and noble City of Gibraltar
in the Campo of Gibraltar. the City OF
Gibraltar being in the temporary oc-
cupation of the British. Notes and

mounds and similar places, and in
cludes axes, arrow-heads, lance-heads,
all OF stone, and generally of most per-
feet workmanship: monumntal stones,
earthenware utensils, and some painted
pottery. There are two pipes, evident
ly used for smoking, made OF baked

Herr Mehring has also presented to the

some Philosophy OF Life.

/ While passing along through life I have noted.
Sharing its burdens and tasting Its joys.
/ Much human happiness could be promoted
II each one would but test the means he en-
pioys.
Many there are in LIES battle-heIds lighting,
For peace and conteDtment with them 70 stay
Looking on life a troublesome nighting,
Because it's events are not fashioned their way
Ever out-reaching for joys more assuring,
They lose half the pleasure due with each day;
| Following bfindIy some fancy aIluring,
To find as they follow, il leads 10 betray.
Always uHsatisfed resiiessly trying
And failing TO gain the goal they desire,
Struggle along through existence with signing,
To learn their mistake at the hour TO expire.
Let me here say 10 the most discontinued,
Who cannot in life ind cause for a smile,
The gloom you complain of you have invented,
And by your course the bright hours do
beguile.
Be not discouraged, let nothing annoy you,
Though dark seem the hours that may be in
sight;
Shake of the spell that will surely destroy you,
Bid adieu to the gloom, and let in the light.
Take up the duties Of life presented,
Thus will its burdens be easily borne;
Watch that your actions may not be repented.
And hold not the world in cOntemptuOus scOrn.
Rise with buOyant heart, live for LIES pleasure,
Live your life boldly and DE not afraid,
Learn 10 believe this xistence a treasure,
Your honest endeavOrs will not go unpaid.
Keep TO the right, let discretion direct you;
Yield not TO temptations they arise;
Rely upon reason. it will protect y0C;
Command your aut oDo,, ,,o,,v
eyes.
Hatred and malice may be all around you,
And jealousy seen in the envious glare;
Keep straight your course, let nothing con-
found you,
Hold hard on the helm, teach traducers beware
Be slow TO believe the eossips around you,
That we call friendship would soon disappear;
Enemies pose as true friends and surround you
The greater your merits the more you may fear.
One truth seems apparent, or life is a dream,
And 1t to my mind has long been most clear:
Though none are as good as bad as they seem.
Yet people are pretty much what they appear.
Do your own thinking, let your judgment be cool,
Trust not alone to old dogmas and creeds;
Adhere to and practice the grand golden rule,
The happest lives are those filed with good
deeds.
Uphold the truth, it will always best serve you,
Twill keep the mind clear, the senses awake;
Let not expedience from duty's path swerve you,
Push on to the end what you dare undertake.
And though earths brightest days are not all sun
shine,
Though dark clouds appear and shadow the day,
Let all your efforts toward cheerfulness incline;
Overlook not a chance to cast bright ray.
1t ought to be plain to ali who have reasoned,
Happiness here on ourselves may depend;
Take then events of this life as they're seasoned,
Secure its cOntentment its pleasures extend.
