A Howard County Boy to the Front

We are kindly permitted to make
some extracts from q private letter
from Ed. J. Cannon, to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Cannon Of Oak
Dale. This young man was brought
up on his fathers farm in that town,
working on the farm till twenty-one,
after which he attended the Semi
nary at Usage for q while, learning
stenography, by which means he
earned money enough to defray his
expenses while taking a course in law
with one Of the leading law firms Of
st. Paul. Under date of April II, he
writes to his parents: Il took the ex-
animation in the supreme court this
morning and got through, and am
now ready to practice law. One year
ago the Judges established the plan
OF examining applicants for admis-
sion. The first class Of fifteen, all
failed, the next of seven, likewise,
and to day our class Of three oil pas
sed. The Chief Justice addressed us
thus: Young men, the court all con-
cur in allowing you to pass, and for
myself, Unjust express my gratifica-
ton, and state to you that never
has it been my experience to read SO
good set of papers as those before
me, and l pronounce you well able to
practice law" The clerk OF the su-
preme court. who has held the place
four years says he never heard the
Chief Justice praise any one that
way before, and Justice Collins says
he never saw questions answered
more accurately than were mine"
He writes that after q weeks rest
he shall put in considerable time in
study Of the law, that his work thus
far has kept him busy night and day.
1t is always source Of qualification
to note the advancement OF the young
men of our county and state. We
have q number Of them in our coun-
ty, who, with the degree of applica-
ito that this young man has given to
his studies can rank just as high in
whatever profession they may choose.
They should take courage, remem-
bering that away up at the top of
any profession, there is always plen-
ty of room, striving with untiring
assidmty to reach the pinnacle. Let
no one be disheartened because hun
dreds are aspiring for promotion and
place in the ranks Of literature on the
professions. Success is only achieved
through labor, and to remain ut the
top the labor is the work of a life |
time, no matter what the vocation.

matter Of the new County Asylum, to
be presented to them-at Snake Hill.
We have no hesitation in saying
that the Board of Freeholders is a
gang of impudent tricksters. They
hold most of their meetings at the
Court House, and there is ample
accommodation there for public
hearings. If this hearing had been
set there many citizens would have
appeared to give advice. But the
Freeholders did not want that. They
wanted to create an appearance of
general apathy among the people so
that they might have an excuse for
going their own crooked way. There
fore they set down the hearings for
Snake Hill, which is practically in
accessible to the public.
To have attended the proposed
hearing at two o'clock yesterday, it
would have been necessary to take a
train at 1880 Yesterday forenoon,
waste the whole day, go dinnerless,
and submit to endless inconvenience,
We repeat the Freeholders are impu-
dent tricksters and this proves it.

DISCRETION AND DIVORCE.

To Ike Editor of the jersey City Ne,us:-
young lady who is unable to engage q law
yer appeals to your generosity to help her on
the following point:-Five years ago she was de-
has heard nothing of him. Is she entitled to q
divorce (absolute) under New Jersey laws.
New YORK, Sept. II, 1890. J. F. L.
Absolute divorce in New Jersey may be
procured on account of two years CON
tinuous desertion. 1t is necessary that
should prove continuous bona lde resi-
dence in the State during that period.
Two recent decisions in Chancery throw
important light on the interpretation
which the Court places on the law. In
one case, Vice Chancellor Green says
"When a husband, not entirely blameless
for the act. makes no effort to prevent
his desertion by his wife, and acquiesces
in and appears satisfied with its continu-
ance, he is not entitled to a divorce on
the ground of desertlon. A wife claim
ing that her abandonment OF her home
was caused by the conduct of her hus-
band must. in the face of his denial, if
she seeks a divorce on the ground of de-
sertion, sustain her claims by the cor
roborative evidence of circumstances or
of other Witnesses
In the other case the husband asked for
the divorce on the ground that his wife
had deserted him for two years. The wife
Claimed tnab she was ordered from the
house. The Vice Chancellor SAYS that
mere declarations of a willingness to re-
sumo marital relations without any effort
to put an end to a separation are Of little
weight in an action for divorce on the
ground of desertion. The complainant.
not having manifesto other thar by
declarations made in court when under
arrest for no%n-support, any desire thai
the defendant should return to him, but
acquiescing in her absence, is not entitled
to a divorce under the statute.
From this it will be seen that the Chan
cellor will not merely accept separate
residence as proof Of desertion, but will
put his W construction on the facts as
proven in evidence. The only safe way
to proceed iii any specific case is to con-
suit a lawyer of respectable ability, tell
him all the facts without reserve, and
then take his ADVICE.
Lay opinions are always unsound, and
though we have taken legal advice before
printing this reply. u correspondent
must remember that it was rendered on
a general proposition and may not fit at
all the Immediate case, the facts of which
are not known to us.-ED. JERSEY CITY

Faith and No Faith.

From a town not SO far from Boston
that it is unusual for the inhabitants
to do business in the city comes a tale
which is commended to the believers
in the faith cure, says the Boston
Courier.
A certain man was ill of some dis
order or other for which his physician
prescribed a particular spring water,
and as the nan could not convenient
ly go to the spring, a barrel of water
was brought to him. His wife was at
home when it arrived, and gave or
ders to have the barrel placed in the
cellar, but SO clumsy were the dray-
men who brought it that before it
was got into place the bung had been
knocked out and more than half the
water spilled.
The wife is q lady of resources and
she was evidently determined that
her husband, having paid for q bar
rel of water, should have the benefit
of the full amount. She therefore
had a servant fill the barrel to the
brim with the ordinary water which
flowed from the faucet over the
kitchen sink, charging the girl to say
nothing about the matter.
The husband at once began O course
of the water as ordered and in a short
time the Improvement in his condi-
ton was most marked. He announced
to his physician that he had never
before tried a remedy which did him
SO much good as the water, and went
on drinking it with full confidence
and with ever increased improvement
OF health.
The wife held her peace discreetly
until the good effects Of the water
were assured, and then she confided to
the physician what had happened.
My dear Mrs. Blank that gentle
man said, Il don't in the least mind
what is in that barrel, but l must in
sist that you do not disturb the cure
by exciting suspicious in the mind of
the patient that it is not all that he
supposes it to be.n

TRAINED NURSES
Should be Physically and Mentally
Strong, and Self Reliant.

There are, of course, many women
entering the profession of nursing
whose sense of honor is not high, and
whose appreciation of the dignity Of
labor is not great, but who see in nur-
sing either the means of gaining. a
livelihood or a way to escape front the
rather dull. and petty routine of a
single girls life at home. They like
the ecldt of doing a noble work, and
the independence which is essential
to it, but are unwilling to do more
work than they a help to attain
their desire. There are, however,
other ONE who, in taking up nurs-
ing, often as a means of livelihood, do
so with the highest motives, and who,
in rendering themselves independent,
have at the same time the great
pleasure of helping others in their
struggle through life.
From this class come all our best
matrons, sisters, and nurses, and to
them is due the high position nursing
holds as a profession for III
Their patients are sentient human
creatures, whose tempers must be
studied and whose feelings must be
considered; not mere models by which
they can become adopts in a COM
Portable profession. | do not find this
desirable oma very often among
nurses, nor do | find her wholly con-
fined to the class who insist that they
are ladies' There is another class
of ONE who join our ranks, many of
them useful, good women, but who do
not possess the robust health capable
of bearing the necessary strain.
To those the work in the wards seems
an unnecessary waste of strength, for
if it were not for that they might ac-
quire an interesting and useful pro-
fession. We cannot help sympathiz-
ing with them, but this work, in soon
showing them their unfitness for the
life they have chosen, is really their
best friend. No woman not in sound
physical health should attempt to
take up nursing as a profession. She
ruins her health and occupies q valu-
able appointment which might be
filled by a stronger and more useful
woman. In nursing, as in most
things, the weakest must go to the
wall.
The life of a nurse, when lived con-
scientiously, can never be easy, and
it is sometimes even made harder
by petty tyranny and small, irritating
rules which tend to cralnp the mind
and train women into mere nursing
machines-never satisfactory or sym
pathetic articles. But hospitals where
this is the case are in a fast-decreasing
minority. The old habit of fencing a
nurse round with useless rules and
so~ul-wearying restrictions is fastdy-
ing out. The heads of institutions
are realizing that nurses are in most
cases reliable fellow creatures who
will do the work that duty requires
of them well if the motive be but self
interest. And as the matrons of hos
pitfalls are now nearly all trained
and have therefore had ample
opportunities of charging their
minds, the petty tyranny is becoming
rare--MuaYay's Magazine.
