LAWYER AND EXPERT.

Judah Philip Benjamin, who was at
torney general of the Southern Con-
federacy, and afterward member of
the English bar, is said by his biogra-
pliers to have had great power in ap-
plving "the theory of the law to daily
practice" The Fortnightly Review
lately reported an instance of his
shrewdness and convincing logic:
He was counsel for plaintiff who
owned cargo Of cotton, and claimed
damages against Liverpool ware
houseman, who had accepted it to be
warehoused at stipulated rent. The
warehouse, it was said was old, and
the walls and roof gave way, in conse-
uuence of which the cotton was dam
aged.
The defendant spared no expense in
procuring witnesses of the class known
as "experts," upon whose evidence,
rightly or wrongly, so many casustic
remarks have been made by judges
and others.
One after another these men came
into the box, with the full confidence
of vast Observation-Disclosures, build
ers. engineers, warehousemen, and all
who could assist in demonstrating to
the Jury that no stronger or more per-
feet warehouse had ever been con-
structed.
At last, by way of climax, came
gentleman whose great prestige and
combined experience as both architect
and engineer eclipsed that of all who
had preceded him. He gave his evil
dence in that calm and measured tone
which demands acquiesence from all
who hear it, and explained the impos-
sibility of the accident having occurred
in consequence of any improper con-
struction or want of repair.
"While this was going on, Mr.. Ben
jamin sat taking note in solemn
gravity A; then he rose to cross-exam-
inc the witness"
"I think, sir, you said you had had
great experience in the building OF
warehouses ?"
eyes"
"And that you have carefully con-
sidered the causes which lead to their
weakness?"
"Certainly."
"And you have applied those con-
siderations to the present case ?"
II have done so."
"Then will you kindly answer me
one more question Why did that
warehouse fall ?"
The witness paused, and Benjamin,
with a pleasant twinkle in his eye, sat
down with almost bump on his seat.
The pause continued, and the effect
of it was so striking that jurymen,
bystanders and all could not resist
hearty laugh, which terribly diminish
ed the effect of long and reasoned
reply which the expert finally went on
to give. 49,
"Thank you," said Benjamin. III
have no more questions with which to
trouble you"
The result was irresistible, and no
ingenuity on the part of the learned
counsel for the defendant could re-
trieve the lost ground. The verdict
was for the plaintiff.-New York

Now the thing to do, if you have not
already done it, is to insure your proper
ty against loss by fire. A small policy for
a fourth of it's value is better than no in
surance at all. See me and let us talk the
matter over, will appreciate your busi-
ness and give it my best attention.
There is one thing, however, that the
public should be cautious of, and that is
the many wildcat" companies that are
doing business in this territory, whose
indemnity contracts are not worth the
paper they are written on, and which will
require only one fire loss to demonstrate
the fact. My companies are business en-
terprises of the highest class and standing
and since the indemnity they offer is the
very best, they do not seek to impress you
with the idea that they are so Philan-
thropic that they will indemnify. you
against loss at Il less cost than experience
dearly bought has taught them that it is IS
worth. My companies are now carrying
polices on much of the most valuable
property in the county and as agent, L
would be glad to issue you policy,
