 citation.

Chamberlain, of New York, offered 8 resolution for the relief of the Supreme court of the United States from it's overplus of business; sec onded by Judge Dillon and adopted. Several new members were elected to the general council, after which Secretary Ed ward Otis Hinkley read his report which showed the membership to be 671. The association IS represented in nearly every State excepting Nevada and Colorado. Mr. Field submitted the report of the special committee appointed to consider and report whether the present delay and uncertainty in judicial administration can be lessened and by what means. The substance of MT. Fields report was: We are obliged to admit that most of the blame for the delay and uncertainty which we have been discussing rests upon the pro- fession in both it's branches, whether on the bench or at the bar. He said: ssWe are host in numbers; we have influence direct and indirect, greater than that of any other profession or class of men in the country. We know best the laws of the land as they are and what they ought to be; we can make ourselves heard and needed in every legislating hall, in every executive chamber and on every bench of justice The ordering of new trials should be restricted to cases where it is apparent that injustice has been done" In concluding he said that the time allowed for appealing should be short ened; that greater attention must be paid to the selection of judges; that the law itself should be reduced to the form of statute; that statistics of litigation be collect ed and published yearly

Two Girls.

Mrs. Mulligan, proprietor of the intelli- gence office on Congress avenue, resents inn putations upon her place of business in an article in 8 morning paper and wishes the public to understand that she assists friend less girls and befriends them and that her charges are acknowledged to be just and reasonable and her method of doing business honorable and lady-like. In the case of two girls who said they came from Fairfield Hotel where they had been at work and who ap- piled to her, she furnished one with place in hotel out of town and directed the other to Sherwood's on Broadway in this city to get place. In neither case had she re- ceived cent of pay as yet. The girl sent to Broadway failed to get place as iAhad been taken.

 A GOOD OUTLOOK F0R BUSINESS. Great Crops This Fall and Bright
 Prospects for Activity fn Trade.
 BALTIMORE Aug. 19.-The Baltimore Manufacturers Record of August % will give nearly five pages to special reports show ing that the South will this year make the largest crops ever produced in. that sec tion and at the lowest cost. The corn crop, which is now safe, is reported by the cor respondents to be the best for many years, and it is believed that the aggregate yield will be fifty million bushels more than last year. In South Carolina an increase of four million bushels is counted on, while in Georgia the State agricultural department expects an increase of nine million bushels over 1884 and fifteen million over 1888, while the reports are generally flattering from the other States While the cotton crop is still liable to be damaged, it is be- lieved that this years will be the largest crop ever produced. The average is better than ever before and the present condition of the crop more favorable than at the cor time in past years. In tobacco, fruits and vegetables the prospects are that the crops will be very large, while rice promises big yield and sugar much more profitable crop than last year. From an ag- ricultural point of view the prospects of the South could hardly be better In trade and manufactures there is already decided change for the better and the outlook is prom ising for great activity in trade this fall and yvinta7r

IrresuIar maII Matter i'm Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.- Superintendent Bell of the foreign mail service has received communication from the Postmaster Gene ral of Cuba stating that he had received sev eral parcels of United States mail in en- .velopes bearing United States postage stamps. He had, however, rated these let ters irregular and placed upon them the dou- ble postage penalty of ten cents on each let ter provided by the Postal union. The irreg- ular nail came from the line that recent ly declined to carry the United States mail, but advertised that it would receive all mail matter and carry it to it's destination in Cuba. All mail matter not sent through United States postof6ces according to the provisions of the Postal union will be treated in Cuba as irregular and double postage charged.

A CHINESE FARM.

The Chinese farm house is a curious
looking abode. Usually it is sheltered
with groves of feathery bamboo and
thick spreading banyans. The wallis
are of clay or wood, and the interior Of
the house consists of one main room, ex-
tending from the floor to the tiled roof,
with closet-looking apartments in the
corners for sleeping-rooms. There is o
sliding window in the roof, made of
cut oyster shells arranged in rows,
while the side windows are mere wooden
shutters. The floor is the bare earth,
where at nightfall there often gather
together miscellaneous family of dirty
children. fowls. ducks, pigeons and q
litter of pigs aB living together in
delightful harmony. In some districts
infested by marauding bands, houses
are strongly fortified by high walls.
containing apertures for firearms, and
protected by mOat crossed by n rude
drawbridge.

PROOF OF DEATH.

II most people are afraid of anything,
it is of being buried alive. That cases
do happen where it is very difficult even
for the experienced physician to deter
mine whether person is really or but
apparently dead, without his having
recourse to means which, while they
would at once settle the dispute would
place life, if it really still existed, in
jeopardy, may be judged from the fact
that the French Academy, some ten or
fifteen years ago, offered prize of forty
thousand francs for the discovery Of
some means by which even the inexperi-
enced may at once determine whether
in given case death had ensued or not
A physician obtained the prize. He
had discovered the following we'll known
phenomenon: If the hand of the sus-
pected person is held toward the candle
or other artificial light, with the fingers
stretched, and one touching the other,
and one looks through the spaces be-
tween the fingers toward the light,
there appears Il scarlet red color where
the fingers touch each other, due to the
still circulating fluid blood, as it shows
itself through the transparent, not yet
congested tissues; but when life is ex-
tinct this phenomenon at onces ceases.
The most extensive and thorough trials
established the truth of this observation,
and the prize was awarded to its discov-
erer.

help, you shall have yours, or we'll sell
the farm"
20 Tom !" she cried, laying her
flushed cheek on his hand. 1T isn't
the work SO much, but thought I was
losing my kind, tender husband. This
year has been 30 miserable, seeing you
growing farther and farther away from
me. / thought you had stopped loving
me, and my heart was breaking. Oh,
Tom, don't let me think so any more !"
And Tom took the poor, tired head ON
his broad breast. and kissed the white
face more tenderly than he had in
her girlish days. He knew his own
weakness now as he had thought he had
known his strength then. And Mary
was q happier woman than she had been
for many day.
After that her burdens were lightened,
and she was her old happy self again,
secure in her husbands love.
But were the old habits of over-econ-
omy so easily snapped? He was many
times about to yield, but old Uncle
Warren served as constant reminder of
his new resolves
The old man was hugely puzzled to
find his homilies Of "savin' an sharp"
had so little effect
"Thomasll die poor " he groaned.
"Keepin' o hired girl an buyin' q
pianer for his wife,"
But Thomas never regretted sowing
the seed of love instead of that of
avarice.

AN INHUMAN TRAFFIC.

The following is Stanley's sketch Of a
Congo slave pen: There are rows
upon rows of dark nakedness, relieved
here and there by the white dresses of
the captors. There are lines or groups
of naked forms, upright, standing or
moving about istlessly; naked bodies
are stretched under the sheds in all
positions naked legs innumerable are
seen i'll the perspective of PROSTATE
sleepers there are countless naked
children, many mere infants, forms of
boyhood and girlhood, and occasionally
a drove of absolutely naked old women,
bending over a basket of fuel, or cassava
tubers, or bananas, who are driven
through the moving groups by two or
three musketeers. On paying more
attention to details I observed that
mostly all are fettered; youths with
iron rings around their necks through
which o chain like one of our boat
chains, is rove, securing the captives
by twenties. The children over ten are
secured by three copper rings. each
ringed leg brought together by the CEN
trail ring, which accounts for the appar-
ent listlessness of movement observed
on first coming in presence of the curl
GUS scene. The mothers are secured by
shorter chains. around whom their re-
spective progeny of infants are grouped,
hiding the cruel iron links that fall in
loops or festoons over their mammas'
breasts. There is not one adult man
captive among them. Little
perhaps as my face betrayed my feel.
ings, other pictures would crowd upon
the imagination; and after realizing
the extent and depth of the misery
presented to me, walked about rs in
kind of dream, wherein 1 saw Though
the darkness of the night the stealthy
forms of the murderers creeping toward
the doomed town, its inmates all asleep,
and no sounds issueing from the gloom
but the drowsy hum of chirping cicadas
or distant frogs-when suddenly flashes
the light of brandishing torches; the
sleeping town is involved in flames.
while volleys Of musketry lay low the
frightened and astonished people send
ing many through a short minute OF
agony to that soundless sleep from
which there will be no waking"

OLD FRIA1D2
The old, old friends !;

The old, old friends
Some changed, some buried. some gone out
of sight; t.
Some enemies, and, in this worid's fierce tight;
No time to make amends.
The old, old friends
Where are they? Three are lying in one grave
And one from the far-otf world on the daily wave
No loving message sends.
The old, dear friends
One passes daily and one wears mask;
Another, long estranged, cares not to ask
Where causeless anger ends.
The dear old friends
So many and SO fond in days Of youth
Alas !! That faith can be divorced from truth,
When love in severance ends.
The old, old friends
They hover round me still in evening shades;
Surely they will come again when sunlight fades
And life Oil God depends.
