vIoE-oHANoELLoR EMERY's BAG
Ancient Custom OF Carrying Legs
Papers Adopted Here.

Vice Chancellor Emery followed a very
ancient custom this morning for the
first time since his elevation to the bench
when he entered Chancery Chambers
with a. large cloth bag, secured at the
top by a cord, containing HIS books and
papers. 1t was a very swell bag, too,
made of blue cloth, and on the side was
a large. E." woven in silk. While
some Philadelphia and Camden lawyers
carry their documents in the old-fashion-
ed bag, the practice is to use a neat
leather affair-a small edition of a trav-
cling ~portmanteau.
In the Inns of Court at London, the
Four Courts in Dublin and the Courts
of Justice In Edinburgh, the barriste2s-
at-law, the same rank as the American
cornsellor-at-law, all carry their papers
in cloth bags. Some of these reticules
are of green baize, and others of black
and red. Red is the prevailing color.
These gentlemen of the long robe would
thsnk it as incongruous to carry a
satchel as to wear silk hats over their
powdered wigs.
The barristers, or avocats as they are
called, in French courts ali carry cloth
bags, and so in German and Russian
courts lawyers adopt the same old way.

least, to be venerated as a means of
carrying %valuables. One sees Bishops
carrying decorous black satin bags, In
which are slowed the lawn sleeves and
robes worn at public functions; high
born ladies, with their hymn books,
Bibles and prayer books in gorgeously
embroidered satin bags emblazoned

ries the great seal of the Empire; the
Law Lords in the House of Peers carry
their papers through the marble cor
r.dors. of the House to their Chambers
in either black or red velvet bags, and
from the Courts ct Justice In the
Strand after the rising of court the
Justices of Queens Bench and other
branches OF the judicature may daily be
seen hurrying to their Chambers or to
their carriages with the inevitable cloth
bag tightly grasped by the neck and
very often slung over the shoulder like
the "Old Clio" man.
One Of these Judges carrying his bag
in that fashion in the streets was face
tiously accosted by a friend thus
Has your Lordship old clothes in

THE SOUTH DAN DO.

It is evident that the South has at hand.
and therefore cheap, all the raw materi-
ais entering into manufactures; that it's
labor and cost of living are cheaper than
at the North; that 1t can in consequence
manufacture goods of all kinds at less
cost thar the North or the West; that
it can not only supply the home de-
mand, but also export goods with profit;
that in the finer lines of manufactures
it is extending its operations with suc-
cess: and that, to compete with it wages
in the North must be reduced With all
these advantages on its side the fault
will be with the South IL 1t fails to reach
