on account of bad ehir0graphy, unless a
copy has been m d., and lt sometimes hap
pens that county court Judge has his
notes sent back 10 him as illegible. There
are some Of the Judges deaf and they get
along slowly with their own notes and ask
many questions which, to listeners appear
unnecessary. But deaf man never admits
that he j. hard of hearing; it is the witness
wfo mumbleS or is incOherent and the
counsel who wanders away from tae Loint.
AS rule. the Judges who have all their
faculties intact take an excellent longhand
note OF all that Is requisite without requir-
Ing the witnesses TO pause, and when a
case Is finished they turn to the jury and
sum up clearly and fuently without a break
in their narrative. The late MIR. Justice
Byles took his notes down in short
hand. He was the only Judge who had oc-
casionally TO ask counsel what a. certain
word was, and he had evidently poor rec
objection of testimony, for in summing up
he read copiOus extracts without pointed or
luminous comment. Shorthand is too fast

II days work. Generally speaking, a
jury leaves the box well instructed how to
look at the facts and ponder them, aud by
no means bewildered about the law. In
England Judges comments are given on
the facts OF a criminal as we'll as a civil
case, and thus a wholesome criticism is
passed on the too frequently LamboOzling
rhetoric of opposing counsel. With all the
care that is taken to guide jurles they are
sometimes unable tn agree-a sure proof
that genuine doubt exists.
In the second week of August the courts
rise for the long vacation, and until the end
OF October the Judges are free. They take
their holidays variously, aud they return to
their tasks in cheerful spirit, and glowing
health. Short periods OF holiday also come
at Christmas. Easter and Whtsnntide The
lot OF ali English Judge Is therefore one to

again without its existence being diScOY-

kenzie of the cove. and they went there and
laid claim to the place as their property,
building a little wharf and establishing a
small trading station there. In July, 1876,
L. w. Mcclellan bought up what

sold the place 10 the Mcclellan Fishing and
Trading Company. presided over by Mr..
Daggett. The wharf was extended, and
store, warehouse, blacksmith-shop and
other buildings were erected. 1t is now
one Of the most important stations of the
Shumagin Islands, there being twelve men
stationed there permanently and about
twenty-five during the summer season. 1t

ordinarily designated as "Mr. Justice So
and-So," and in court, when addressed Ny

appears anomalous, but in these matters
usage Is paramount. A county court Judge
is only entitled to ''your Honor" AMI a
Chairman Of quarter sessions is similarly
addressed.
Formerly barristers were ranged In two
great groups-one practiciDg on the equity
side in Chancery and the other on the
common-law side In the Queens Bench and
other courts. Until the removal to the new
courts in the Strand the latter were at West
minister aud the barristerS had Westminster
Hall for a promenade. To-day barristers
may practice where they please. aud 1t has
also been found convenient to allow the
Judges freedom to sit In Chancery or in the
Queens Bench. There is, however, some
grumbllng when these changes are made
too frequently, for a man who has been
trained IN equity is not profound in common
Law, and the common-law lawyer is lame IN
equity. Solicitors really decide the matter,
for it is they who employ the barrsters. In
Chancery the Lord Chancellor is tue chief
dignitary, but he is frequently absent on
other Judicial duties in the House of Lords.
Next to him comes the Master of the Rolls,
who, However. is frequently TO be found In
the Court of Appeal, which constitutes an
intermediate tribunal between the superior
courts and the House Of Lords. The latter
tribunal is curlously constituted.
Strictly speaking, every peer has right
to sit, but in practice only the law lords ap-
pear in judgment. Some OF these are only
peers during their own lives. Their honOrs
are not transmitted. AS rule not more
than three or four law lords adjudicate on
any case, and this they do in a manner
quite different from the other courts. All
the facts are presented In printed papers or
volumes, which may be as bulky as
family Bible. The barristers speak from
small canopied rostrum at the far end OF
the House, and their lordships sit in an easy
scattered fashion wherever they please be-
hind desks and without wigs or robes-all

respect the Judges are entitled to feel indie
pendent. On the supreme bench their in
comes are never less than 9j000 a year, and
when they become old they are entitled to a
pension of several thousands year. They
are. therefore, in very comfortable circun-
stances, and as most OF them live unusteuta-

enabled to lay past Il fair portion of their In

the highest honors are paid them There is
evidence OF this at official banQuets in the

Only few years ago the Judges OF the
common law division were grouped in
separate courts and sat good deal of the
time in banc. The courts were the Queens
Bench, with Bail Court attached, the Com
mon Pleas and the ExcheqIer. The pre-
siding Judge OF the Queens Bench takes
rank next to the Lord Chancellor as Lord
Chief Justice of England. The Judges of
the Exchequer were Barons, and the Presi-
dent had the style OF Chief Baron; in the
Common Pleas the presiding Judge was
Lord Chief Justice. All the divisions are

The whole OF England and Wales is
divided into circuit districts, and IN some
of these three and others four assiZes are
held each year. One Judge disposes of the
criminal business or Jail delivery. and the
other deals with civil business, but in going
from town to town they change positions.
Judge on assize duty is the representa-
tive OF the crown, and almost regal honors
are paid him. The High Sheriff, who is the
first gentleman of the county next to the
Lord Lieutenant, comes to meet him at the
railway station with "A grand carriage and a

Some dinners they must accept-those Of

While in court the High Sheriff, always
In uniform OF some description, sits on the
right OF the Judge on the crown side. That
High Sheriff may not do as ne pleases In
this service OF attending the Judges Is well
known. For the time being he is little more
than lackey at his own expense-for he
pays Tor his carriage and flunkeys and be-
wigged coachman, and. generally speaking,
he may thank his stars IL he gets out Of his

How They Probably VIII Be Fought in
the Future.
Chicago Tribune.
Rear Admiral Samuel Long OF tile British
navy, who commanded a squadron in last
years naval maneuvers. delivered an inter
estiug lecture in London the other evening
upon the effect of the introduction of rapid
bre guns upon naval tactics aud construc-
ton. He argued that the new guns more
than quadrup'e the number Of projectiles
that can be thrown in given period, that
many OF them Eust be regarded as armOr-
piercing weapons, and that all OF them are
probably capable of putting an ordinary
battle-ship out of action, even while
her armoT remains intact. The result was
that whereas twelve years ago the majority
OF naval officers believed in the ram as the
most formidable weapon In action, and
looked to the torpedo as the great settler of
the issues OF an engagement, tacticians must
now recognize that the gun has to large
extent resumed its old place; and that, in
spite oil the influence OF armor, the torpedo,
and the ram in the determination of naval
disputes, the gun is the most important fac
tor. as II was in Nelson's days. Tie naval
action OF the future, he thinks, will begin
with an artillery duel in which the object Of
each side will be to quell the enemy's fire as
much as possible and to disable lis tor
pedo launching apparatus. Following the
artillery duel, or, indeed. during it. may
come Tie opportunity Tor the ram and finally,

and IL some of the torpedo tubes remain
In working order. the torpedo may be able
to pronounce the decisive word. He said
that he would seek to minimize the effects
oil gunilre upon cruisers by removing from
the neighboriiond of the batteries all pos
sible sources of splinters, by placing the
torpedo-tubes in submerged positions. aud
by shing thinly armored coming towers,
which he regarded as dangerous traps. In
them the whole control of a ship in action
is at present conferred; Yet very slight
touch would dislocate all the delicate ma

women of the better classes were not in
any sense slaves. nor in the humble condi-
ton of household drudges: the innumer-
able representations Of them in sculpture
and painting must be wholly false if their
originals were not ladies, according to the
modern acceptation of the word; elegant

dignity. Poetry, the highest means of
