ARBITRATION NOT APPLICABLE.
More Comments of the ST. James Gazette
on the venezue.f Question.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The afternoon
newspapers of this city again comment
upon the dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela
The St. James Gazette, for example.
declares itself to lc opposed to arbitra-
ton in any form, saying:
"Arbitration not only does not apply
to the present dispute; but it is the
usual thing when there is recourse to
this kind of international tribunal, for
the arbitrators t0 find against England,
and the weight of evidence; and in the
few cases where the finding has been in
our favor the other side declines to
pay"
The st. James Gazette then instances
the Alabama. Delagoa Bay. and Behring
sea disputes i'll support of its contention
that international tribunals usually find
against England and the weight OF
evidence.

LYNCH IS ADMITTED TO THE
BAR.

John II. Lynch, who processes tn
know so much about the constitu.
tional law Of Mississippi, has just
been admitted to the bar When he
was first examined he failed to pass.
or his recent examination the
Natchez Democrat says:
Hon. Claud Pintard, the chancellor
of this Chanccry Court distrist, has
received a letter from Judge 7. f.
Cooper Of the Supreme Court OF the
State, in which he says that the
judges of that court have critically
the papers accompanying the appllca'
ton of John r. Lynch for admission
to the bar of the State and that he
favorably indorses the same, Lynchs
examination being quite creditable,
and he wishes him success in the pro.
fession. 1t will be remembered that
Lynch made application for admission
to the bar some time since, but failed
to pass, the examination being much
closer and more rigid than lie had an.
tlcipated; but he afterward posted
himself up, and having more than 2O(
questions propounded to him, answer
cd all but three. Lynch does not pro
pose to establish an office in Natchez
unless it be in conjunction with some
one else, but will probably hang Ou
his shingle in Washington City
where he passes much Of his tim
each year.

How the mornings used to rise

How the first breath Of the dry
Smelled like paradise In May,
And You couldn't stay in bed
For the bird songs over head!
OH how sweet life was and good
In the days Of Barefoothood'
Not Il trouble nor a care
In the whole world anywhere.
just as light and gay and free
As a bird that tops a tree;
Just as full of grateful song,
Not warbler in the wood
Full OF praises to Barefoothood.
Simple joys, and yet how sweet
Just the pools that loved your feet
Just the mud between your toe,
just the wild fruit where il grows,
Just the home made line und hook
just the cool plunge In the brook,
Such as these were drink and food
In the days Of Barefoothood.
