strengthen public confidence in our
courts of justice. Courts are presumed
to be organized to dispense justice. and
to know nothing whatever about the
political or religious opinions of parties

courts when they permit politics to en+

knew of no man whose work was better done.
He died with the respect and confidence of the
Bar, and of all the courts in which he practiced.
Judge W. D. Hoff, among other things, said:
Entering upon the study of the law at time
when books were scarce, as compared with the
present, he read all accessible with a careful
diligence that gave him the full meaning of the
text. This habit he continued through life
Thus he stored his mind with knowledge of
the law, for ready use, without resort to such
modern aids as digcsts or compiled classiica-
ton. He admired, grasped and comprehended
the great masters of equity Jurisprudence
Aided solely by his own industry and the power
nature had given him, he acquired an education
that needed no diploma of college or university
to attest its breadth, depth and thoroughness
1t is no discrcdit to his surviving brethren of
the bar that none of them equal him in learn
ing. 1t is not probable that we shall ever see
another sef-cultured as he was, with the united
quality of head and heart that made him prom
inent in the generations with whom he lived
and acted.
Mr.. Jas. NJ. Rees, in speaking of the long
life of the deceased, said: 1t is no wonder that
God gave him long life in this world-four
score and seven years. Surely, to one who
saw so much beauty in this world; so much to
love in it, and who loved so much in it; who
had so much lovable in himself, and who did so
much good in it-surely, to such man God
WOULD give long life.

that of married life, and the work
which belongs to homemistress, a
wife and mother. l ..0
OF course thousands of our women
readers will cry out against this asser-
ton. They are doctors, lecturers,
journalists, artists, shop-women, hor-
tculturists, spiritual mediums or paper-
hangers, and every one declares that
her profession or trade is sufficient for
all her needs of mind and sonl. She
declares it in public. But there is that
in her own secret soul which
proves to be lie. From the highest
to the lowest of women it is the home
and husband and child that fill the
innermost recess of their hearts; not
business, nor art, nor ambition. The
De Staels and George Eliots sacrifice

Holland has thoughts of the little baby

The House or the Man2


Divorces have been granted in our
courts for many queer reasons, but one
case decided last week by Western
Judge throws new light ON the matter
of matrimony in American society. A
young lady was engaged for three
years to a man in every way suitable
to her, who was industrious, intelligent
and faithfully attached to her. She
refused to marry him until he could pro-
vide for her home. At the end of
three years the lover declared that the
house was ready. The marriage took
place; the bride set off in eager expect
alton to her new establishment and
was led to couple of rooms in a
boarding,house. She protested that
was not what she married him for,
brought suit for a divorce and-got
it /! A nice legal question might have
been brought up here. AS the lady 80
openly married the house and not the
man, how could she be divorced when
there was no house for her to marry I
The case indeed, is full of unpleas-
ant suggestions. Every cynical old
bachelor, no doubt, asked on reading
it how many of the pretty, stylish
brides who are throDging to the altar

days of June are marrying house, the
