LEGAL RUFFIANISM.
Why Lawyers Should Re Compeled

Why Lawyers Should Re Competed to
 Treat Witnesses Decentiy.
 A lawyer who is proficient in the art of badgcring . witness seldom lacks clients He is considered smart" and if, by dint of insolent and exas- pcrating cross-questioning, he can goad q man into such n state of excite ment that he contradicts himself, and involuntarily commits perjury, the feat is looked upon as great legal triumph" '" Occasionally, however, aU abusive counsel is confronted. out of court, by an enraged witness, and re- ceives a lesson in civility too impress i've 10 be readily forgotten. Not long ago q somewhat notorious mem- Der of the bar in a Southern city was tremendously pounded by witness in divorce case, against whom. in summing up for the defense. he had insinuated nearly all the crimes enumerated in the decalogue. The libeled citizen, who was person of irreproachable character, met the pro fessional traducer at the court-house door after tho conclusion of the days proceedings and thrashed h'm without stint or pity. Tho hagellant was ar rested and held to bail for the assault, and will doubtless be punished by fine or imprisonment. or both; but he was content. he said. to endure any penal ty the law might inllict for tho enjoy mont of so prime a luxury.
 We have never been able 10 sec why lawyer should Dc permitted to ad- dress respectable member of society in the witness box. or to refor to him after he has left it, in terms as opprobrious as if he were burglar or a pickpocket IL is. or should be. the business of court to prote ct from in- suit persons who are summoned before it-often 10 their own great incon- venienee-to further the ends of justice; and if such protection is not extended. we hold it to be natural right of the outraged parties to chastisc at the first convenient op- portunity the maligners and slander- CTS. Let tho privileges of the legal profession be respected; but why should men who play the rufian at the bar be exempted from the punish- ment which we all delight to see in- flicted upon ruffianism in the street?

No More Law in His.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.The American no steamship British Prince, Captain Nowel, arrived at her dock yesterday from Liverpool and Queenstown, after a stormy passage of fourteen days, with one hundred and sixty-eight passengers. Emigrant Inspector Rodgers detained Mary Hunter, an old Scotch woman, under the pauper act. About ten days ago a man called on Mir. Rodgers and informed him he expected his wife on the Prince. He told Mir. Rodgers ahe was accompanied by her mother, and ho did not wish her to be permitted to land here, as he could not keep her and she had no means of support. The man was compeed to flee to this country to get rid of his mother-in-Iaw, who made it very unpleasant for him. The daughter was landed. but the old woman is held on board the ship and will be returned.

OUR LIVE STOCK.

Figures From tho Department Of AgricuIt-
 ure Statistical Reports Showing the
 Extent Of the Live Stock Interests of the
 United States.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The February statistical report of the Department of Agriculture relates to numbers and values of farm animals. There is a reported in- crease in horses, mul es and cattle, and decrease in sheep and swine. The largest rate of inc ease is in horses, amounting to fully five per cent, and 1t is general throughout the country, though largest west of the Missippi. The aggregate ex ceeds 13,0O0, 900. The increase in mules averaged e three and half per cent. The increase in cattle is only two and . half per cent, corresponding closely with advances in popula ton. It makes the aggreg ate over 49,a00. 900, or S2 per 100 of population. In sheep the decline appears to be be- tween swo or three per cent.-the aggre- gate of focks being about 43500,00O. There is smaller decline in numbers of swine--less than ons per cent. leaving the aggregate over A, 000000. Prices of horses and mules are nearly the same as last years, but both are lower than in the year 1884, when the contln lous advance rom loto culml- hated. Tho average for all ages is $T1.Sg for horses and S79. 1s for mules. The fall in mi oh cows has been from S26.0S to S24G5, or over . per cent. in oxen and other cattle. h sheep, as in other stock, the advance was steady after 1879, and amounted to g per cent. in four years. The present average is $2.05. or nearly as much as in the depression of ls79 when pr ces were the lowest in twenty years. There has been an advance in the average for sN ine of all ages from Si 4S to 9s, or eleven per cent. The annual advance was conth uous from 1879 to 1883, then declin- ing tc 1856, and slightly advanc cling again since The aggregate value of all farm animals is $s0)0,010 more than q year ago, ,the toials for cattle being smaller by about S34, 1000 900; for sheep, trihe smaller, with an increrse in those for horses. mules and swine.

PRACTICAL HELP.
The Humble Beginning of Now Pros

The Humble Beginning of Now Pros-
 porous Working Wonan's Club.
 About ten years ago, 2 Quaker lady in one of our large cities. while buy inc some trifle in retail shop, noticed that the young girl who waited upon her was thin and pale, and had the faded appearance of one who has noth- ing to look forward to in life. Ol ques- tioning her. she found that she was from the country. and had not single friend in the city. With thousands of others, she worked ten hours each day for four dollars week. slept in gar ret with three other women, and ate such scanty food as she could buy.
 What does thee do in tho even' ingp'' asked the interested lady.
 'Sleep generally, or look out of the window. I have no books. Some of he girls go to the ten-cent theaters. but have not done that yet.
 The Friend went home and consid- cred how she should supply home. friends and all the protecting infiu- ences which surrounded her own daughters, to this girl who was totter- ing on the verge of ruin. With the help of q few friends she rented room, with an open fire near the large shops, furnished it with comfortable chairs, growing plants, two or three hundred interesting books and the magazines, and then invited the sales woman and her colleagues to join club. which should have the use of this room at all times. Payment of one dollar annually was exacted, 10 give them the feeling of independence.
 They came eagerly, brought their lunches at noon. gathered in the even- ings to talk, read. sew. play draughts or chess, or to sing. As the club grew the interest in it increased. Sales women, seamstresses. artists. every class of homeless working women. joined it. It now numbers over seven hundred mem bers. They occupy n large house, which they have fitted up and decorated with their own hands. It is their "home," in which each one feels herself Il hostess. They have a piano, an organ, sewing ng-machines. a gymnasium and bathrooms. Night classes have been formed in cookery, music. embroidery, drawing. French, literature and history for which tho fees are but five or ten cents. The members form intimacies among them- selves, and make for each other society cheerful, active and friendly. During the last year they have been zealously combining in ''circles" for different benevolent purposes, such as visiting the hospitals, or con- irving Christmas surprises for poor children. The humble beginning of the quiet Friend has grown into a strong organization, in which these friendless. homeless girls are sur rounded by the purest nfluences.
 Two questions suggest themselves. as we read this true story. How many of us, noticing that stranger was i'll and weary, would have set 10 work to discover her ailment. and to cure itP How many of us would have been con- tent 10 make so humble beginning. and, having made it, would have the faith to perseverc to successP- fonthS ConlDdfltO1
