Legislative Notes.

The Assembly last night, by vote of
63 to 3, passed the bill for game protec-
ton, which was drafted by the State
Sportmen's Convention last year.
The only material change made in the
bill was to exclude salt marsh" lands
from the operation of the section which
prohibits trespass by hunters. This
change was effected by Assemblyman
Bassford Of Solano, whose constituents
object to that class of swamp lands being
held as preserves. The men Interested
i'll these preserves made a strong fight
against the amendment, but the vote on
the passage OF the measure shows that

Goldsmith Was Full of Chivalry.

Poor "Goldy," as'he was fondly nick,
named later in life, did not look much
like a knight. Short of stature, with
a homely face deeply SCARED by the
smallpox. awkward in his manners
and movements, he would have made
but a sorry figure in the lordly tourna-
ment o. at a royal banquet. And yet
he had within him not a little of the
knightly spirit Generous to fault,
daring even to foolhardiness, tender
hearted, impulsive-he was just the
kind of man to ride through the
world, seeking adventures, and risk
ing his life in defense of the helpless
and innocent. Had he lived in the
days of chivalry, he would doubtless
have been, in spite of his ugliness and
ungainliness, 4 famous knight Grant.

ATTRACTIONS OF THE LAW.
Sacrifices Young Men Make IN the
Hope of Fame and Fortune.


Considerably overtwo hundred young
men are graduated annually from the
law schools of this city. The grad
yates include not only the usual num-
Der of well-schooled young men with
friends to help them and perhaps
means at command, but as well a con-
siderable percentage of men who come
to their law studies without the advan-
tage of a good grounding in English,
Latin, and the sciences, without money
or financial friends, and with wives
and children dependent upon them for
support. Some of these latter finish
their law studies at an age when most
lawyers have been from three to ten
years in practice.
Persons acquainted with the difficult
ties that beset the young lawyer in
New York wonder what the new grad
yates in law of this sort are to do.
They are earning in various occupa-
lions from seven hundred and fifl- to
fifteen hundred dollars a year. Few
of them can hope to earn Immediately,
at the law above six hundred dollars 4
year, and almost none can hope within
four or five Years to earn by his prac-
tice as much as the most successful
now earn by their present occupations.
Most of such graduates in law hope to
find law clerkships at five hundred to
six hundred dollars n year, but for
these they must compete with the
cleverest and best educated men from
the most famous law schools in the
country. Those who take the alterna-
tive of setting up offices for themselves
must sacrifice ordinarily all of their
present income for an uncertainty that
may not yield three hundred dollars in
the first year, and may yield less than
one thousand dollars in the third or
fourth or fifth year. Some never get
beyond law clerkships; some never find
themselves able to give up the trade
hat earns their bread in order to be-
gin that by which they hoped to earn
both bread and fame. Enough succeed
to insure full classes in the law schools
year after year.
As a matter of fact the law continues
to attract men here and elsewhere, in
spite of statistics that prove the aver
age earnings of lawyers to be below
those of skilled mechanics. Men with
families to support work all dav and
pay from ten to twenty-five per cent.
of their incomes annually for the OPP
pOrtunity of studying law at night.
Other men work all night for the OPP
%portunity of studying law by day.
Naval officers stationed here sometimes
squeeze in law lectures along with
their duties to the government. Ste
n~ographers, Office boys, newsboys and
all sorts of Woodworking people share
the belief that a chance to practice
law is worth almost any sacrifice of
time and energy. Country folk still
say of any bright lad, He ought to
be a lawyer" and the same belief in
the law as a profession seems to be
held by a great many New Workers of
all sorts. 1t is still held to be the pro-
fession hat leads to dignities and hon.
ors, to political success, and even to
wealth.-N. Y. Sun.

The Wonder of the Bible.

1t is the wonder of the Bible that you
never get through it. You get through
all other books, but you never get
through the Bible. l have preached
twenty-five volumes of sermons upon
this book, and now that l have written
the very last word. what is my feeling?
] ought to have some feeling about it.
Why, this. that 1 have not begun it
yet. No other book could offer such
infinite variety Of material as is offered
by the Bible. DIR. Joseph Parker.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

-Cowper was devotedly attached to
his mother, and often mentions or al
ludes to her in his writings. One OF
his most charming poems was written
in her honor.
Fanny Mozart was a petite beauty,
of exceedingly pleasing address. Her
manners were very fascinating and she
had a confiding, sympathetic way that
won all hearts.
Leopold SGhefer, the German
writer, had a good mother, as well as
a good wife. He said of both: But
one thing on earth is better that the
wife; that is the mother"
Cleopatra was not an Egyptian,
but a Greek beauty, with perfectly
white skin. tawny hair and blue eyes.
Her chief fascination was her voice,
which is described as low, well modu-
lated, and s%ingularly sweet in tone.
Col. Switzler, the nestor of Mis-
souri, journalism, still a vigorous and
capable newspaper man, wrote his first
editorial for his own paper in 1s41.
The Sedalia Capital claims for him the
distinction of being the oldest editor
in the United States.
Walter Besant's most recent book,
I'm Deacon's Orders" is rather of the
dismal variety. Mr.. Besant's heroes in
this work are selected, it is said, from
among a grewsome crew of conscience
less ~reprobates, d~ipsomaniac felons,
swindling company promoters, moral
towards t~rdnnhnrnn friandS and Sa1f-
tormenting hallucines."
Harry e. Evans, of Ottumwa, Ia,
has during the last two years worked
in the treasury department and studied
law at night. He has been graduated
as No. 8 in a class of 1T, and was one
of the six who received honorable
mention by the faculty for scholar
ship. For excellence in debate he won
the first prize-a set of law books cost
ing 500.

aerOnaut, and man of science, who
proposes to reach the north pole by

Stockholm Meteorological bureau. Mr..
Elkhoim has recently devised a scheme
of determining the velocity of the up

-Mascagni and Leoncavallo have
quarreled fercely. The latter wrote
an article attacking "Cavalleria Rus
~ticana," giving a long list of passages
which he said were not original, with
the sources from which they were
taken. Mascagni retorts that he is pre-
pairing an account of what is original
in Leoncavallo's work, and that it will
be a very short one.
-Nazr' Ullah Khan, the Afghan
ameer's son, is rather light of COM
plexion for an oriental. His face is
not darker than the shah's. He is
rather a gorgeous figure in his uni
form, with its gold embroidered coat.

Mrs. Elizabeth E. Hunter, who
died at Philadelphia recently, was
highly esteemed by Lincoln and Grant
for services in caring for the wounded
in the late war. She was the first,
woman to go to Gettysburg after the
great fight, receiving permission from
President Lincoln and going in a spe-
cial car. She founded the Northern
Home for Friendless Children in Phila-
delphia.

were suspicious, and they were watched, and when they slipped into q saloon they were arrested as frauds, because the officers knew that was no place for their Leaguers, and that they do not visit such places for their own appetites or comforts. One Of them got away, but the others were put in jail. What a compliment to the Leaguers.
 No one will ever forget the Sunday afternoon meeting held in the Staun- ton House by the Arkansas and Memphis delegations. For two and one-half hours the Holy Ghost poured out His spirit and manifes ted His great blessings, not only to profess sors, but to those who had been out of Christ.
 On the. way home we visited Van derbilt University and the Publish ing House at Nashville, and were de- lighted with the six or eight hours spent there.
 After leaving our Memphis friends and crossing the great river we held prayer and praise farewell service on the train. A distressed widow who had just buried child and her husband, was brought back in our coach and we did all we could to comfort her. She testified her faith in Jesus and thanked us fer so much consolation. We all resolved to do better, be more religious and spread the great benefits we received among our fellow men, Amen!

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 Tears of joy and shouts of hallelu- iahs replaced the battle cry of war. ''Old Time Religion Is Good Enough for Me- and "There Is Sunshine on My Soul Today" were sung instead of "Dixie' and "Yankee-Doodle.' ;
 The name of Jesus was exalted above all else, and Methodist forever andthe old time religion of Wesley was the watch word.
 Prayer. praise and song rang out from all trains enroute, and it went up from the street-cars and hotels, in the valley and on the mountain top, above the clouds on Lookout Mount ain, and at sunrise in the morning. elevated above the rain, hossana praises went to Heaven, exemplify- ing the fact that religion places us above our troubles.
 Tbe trip was 9 benediction from beginning to end. Some fourteen Pine Bluff delegates attended, going via Little Rock to join their fellow leaguers on the Arkansas John Wesley Limited,' over the Little Rock and Memphis Railroad. A lay over there of some five hours was most delightful. We were taken to the Leaguers' home for supper. after which we were escorted to the Y. NJ. C. A. rooms for a cordial welcome and a splendid entertainment. At 12 o'clock we left for Memphis, arriving there at 6:30 a. m. We were met by League No. 1 and escorted to First Methodist Church, where a grand band of music saluted us. A splen- did breakfast was served In Epworth Hall, and speeches and cordial wei comes continued for two hours, after which we boarded the "Jonn Wesley Limited" for the great International Conference, and we made the whole country ring as weglided along with the songs of Zion. We can never thank our Memphis brothers and sis ters for the full measure of their kind ness, but we wish Heavens blessings on them all forever.
 Everybody wore League badges. It was signal for peace and goodwill, and implied that we needed no intro- duction, but that all were ac- quainted. There were four crooks who procured badges. Their actions
