The New York Herald, alluding to the
attack on legal verbosity made by Mr.
David Dudley Field in his Buffalo adj
dress on law and lawyers, which it de-
clares to be as timely as it is forcible,
makes the following comments:
The attack on legal verbosity made
by Mr.. David Dudley Field in his Buf-
falo address on law and lawyers is as
timely as it is forcible. He shows, for
instance, that more than nine hundred
words are used in a deed which can be
drawn in less than two hundred. The
words "and his heirs, executors and
administrators" are put il &cantract
which without them would bind each
party's estate For work the lawyer
writes work, labor and service" He is
not content with "money paid it must
be . money paid, laid out and expend-
ed ''Money had is not sufficient; il
must be money had and received"
The multiplication of words and repe-
tition of phrases so common in legal
documents are not only useless and
senseless but mischieyous, as Mr.. Field
thus points out:
They beget and confirm our dreadful habits Of
verbosity; they make the young lawyers think that
these words and phrases mean something, and thus
isach falsehoodi they lead the minds Of old and
young 70 in grooves; they cucumber, and be-
cause they eaeum Der, they tend To hinder obscure
aud confuse; they make il necessary to write, read
and record in the course q q year millions upoa
millions Of useless words, all which cost great
deal OF time and great deal of money. Bonds for
instance. are copied or described in mortgages the
mortgages must be recorded, aud when foreclosure
a farrh h, n n
ings All lead to fees, and the fees burdens laid
upon the shoulders Of the borrowers. The patience
ana are furthermore hindered BY them is phenons-
email
Endless verbosity exists in the legal
forms of 70 day simply because it ex-
listed in those of the last century. lit is
an abuse that has never been refot med.
Ii is high time 10 reform it.
The code of laws adopted by the Leg
islature of this State in 1880, contains
many Improvements in the matter of
legal forms. For instance: A deed
which, according to Mr.. Field, ordinarily
contains more than nine hundred
words, and "can be drawn in less than
two hundred, need not contain As many
as fifty words
As to the use of "work, labor and
service" instead Of work, = and money
paid, laid out and expended instead of
money paid, ? and smeney had and
received instead of "money had, that
il the result of habit in most instances.
as-under the code "a statement Of the
facts constituting the cause Of action,
in ordinary and concise language, with-
out repetition is all that is required.
As rule those lawyers who are least
sure of the grounds on which they stand
viii adhere most strictly to ancient
forms and needless repetition and yer
bosity.

AN AGED WHITE OAK.

On the farm of John Mix, which
is situated two and one-half miles
from Centre Square, on the old
Cheshire road, there grows q large
white oak tree. 1t grows from the
top of large bowlder whose aver
age height is about eight and one
half feet. From the ground where
the rock stands the tree, as nearly
as can be ascertained, measures
about sixty feet to the top. The
surface of the rock is about eighteen
by twenty-five feet, and the base
of the tree on its surface is spread
like putty. The main body of the
tree grows in and through the nearly
a foot wide assures Of the rock,
hidden from public view, except q
narrow root on the outside, which
grows to the ground below, thirteen
feet. Above the rock the trunk
measures seven feet. 1t is curious
to see the way the tree has grown
arond the projection of the rock and
has fitted itself to the curves and
grooves. From the highway the
tree appears to be about sixty or
seventy feet broad. The general
supposition is that the tree must be
nearly two hundred years old, as it
was two-thirds as large when the
present occupant of the farm, John
Mix, was boy, and now he has
reached his eighty-fifth year. His
father also lived and died on this
farm, and as long as he could re-
member it was good-sized tree

The reason why Mr.. Morrison and
his free trade brethren want to
tinker the tariff is that our indus
tries may be placed on firm basis
"just as they are in England, you
know" In order to show how
"firm" the English basis is, take
this statement from a recent issue
of the Yorkshire Post: eff the
building of ships on the Tees and
OIucT HoTIueIH llNclo NCio Sh.heiJ
stopped for half dozen years it
would hardly be sufficient to bring
that and the industries depending
upon it back to their normal condi-
ton. If you compare the output
of the shipyards, the rolling mills,
the engineering establishments, and
the minor trades that thrive or lam
guish with the construction of YES
sells during the past year with the
business done in 1884, you will find
that there has been falling off of
from 80 to 40 per cent. within the
twelve months" Can Mr.. Morrison
find any such "firmness" as that in
our "protection-cursed" country?-

STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
l. rectors of the Equitable Life As.
surance Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of tie
Board on the advantages offered by Tie
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ord.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine pc.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and a surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on Tontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event OF death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine pc.
licies apprOXimates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death ut any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
| death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
| tality is lower among Tontine policy.
| holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is a consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.
sUrance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
| just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business, the
funds judciously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith
| fully guarded and properly appOltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75O,O00 larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $6O,0OO,OO0; over $l4 ,OOO,-
600 of Surplus, and it's ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

a larger score than its opponents in five OF

poneDt, winning by four lengths. Beach
won the toss for position and took the

in the betting, 35 to 10 being placed on him.
When the signal was given Ross was the
first away, but he led for only the first six
strokes. when Beach passed him and
steadily increased his lead until he was two
lengths ahead. At Waldeno Ross spurted,
and when HammerSmith bridge was reached
he drew up on Beach. Several barges got
in Beachs water and he was compelled to

The Australian soon shot ahead again, and
there were two lengths OF open water be-
