English Courts Martial.

An English officer of high standing and
Of great experience, writes as follows:
Courts martial are open courts. The
public is admitted. There is no secrecy
of inquiry. Before the trial the charges
must always be communicated to the pris-
oner and explained to him. A copy must
be given him Except on active service).
The names of the officers by whom he is
to be tried must be communicated to him
as soon as they are appointed. He must
have a proper opportunity to prepare his
defense, liberty to communicate with his
witnesses and his legal adviser, who may
be counsel or other friend. AS the court
at the trial Is an open one the prisoner
may be and usually is present during
the preliminary proceedings. The pris-
oner may object to the court or any MEM
Der of the court If reason be shown.
The rules of evidence are the same as in
the civil courts; counsel for prisoner has
the same rights as the prisoner. All evil
dence is in public, and the public and
press may be present, as far as the court
will allow, in their thousands. I have
never myself seen the public rush to these
trials, but there is no reason why they
should not; occasionally few stray Off
GERS and few stray sTommies' come in,
but it is very rare that many of the gen.
eral public are present, unless it is a case
which has excited some local interest; then
the local press is always there. = West

Style without Cruelty.
The Audubon society of Philadelphia
held an exhibition of trimmed hats re-
Gently that awakened much interest
among women and has proved conclu-
sively that "to be stylish women need
not be cruel" The attendance at the
exhibit was extremely gratifying, the
most fashionable women in society pat
ronizing the affair. Not only did the
women evidence in words their appre-
citation of the society's endeavor artls-
tically to demonstrate its theories, but
by buying many of the hats exhibited
they emphasized their sentiments. Flow
ers, airy choux of chiffon. ribbons and
ostrich plumes were all used in the
decorations Chicago Tribune.

The Only Pearl Farm in the World

There is said to oe only one pearl
farm in the world, but that pays its
proprietor handsomely. This farm is
in the Torres Strait, at the northern
extremity of Australia, and belongs
to James Clark, of Queensland. Mr.
Clark, who is known as the ''king OF
the pearl fishers, originally stocked
it with $50, 900 pearl oysters Now
1900 men, 200 of whom are divers,
and ESQ vessels are employed in har-
vesting the crop. Il have been nj
teen years engaged in pearl fishing,
Mr.. Clark told a correspondent OF the
Melbourne Age. MY experience has
led me to believe that, with proper In
telligence in the selection Of place
one can raise pearls and pearl shells
as easily as one can raise oysters. l
started my farm three years ago, and
have stocked it with shells which L
obtained in many instances far out at
sea. My pearl shell farm covers 500
square miles. Over most OF 1t the
water is shallow. In shallow water
shells attain the largest size. | snip

AS a serviceable regiment Of city
militia tbe Seventy first has long rec
ord. 1t was organized in 1852 and has
been called out in several riot enlergen-
cies in New York. 1t left New York ON
the 21st Of April 1861, and served
three months. Again in 1862 il went TO
the front for three months and in 1868
for 30 days during the Gettysburg cam
paign.
The record of the regiment in 1861
was the occupation of Alexandria, the
attack on Confederate batteries at Mat
tias Point and the battle Of Bull Run.
In 1862 it served in the defenses Of
Washington and in 1868 engaged in two
skirmishes in Pennsylvania.
With the exception Of the militia or
CARNATIONS which entered the long term
service in 1861 it was the heaviest loser
among the militia troops Of any from
the Empire State,
At Bull Run the Seventy first fought
in the brigade of General Burnside, the
column of direct attack over the stone
bridge. After Burnside's leading regi-
ment, the Second Rhode Island, had
been severely handled in vigorous at
tack upon the enemy, losing Colonel
Slocum and Major Ballou. the Seventy
first went into action. 1t was accom-
panied by two howitzers, which it
trained on the enemy. The enemy was
checked, and the whole brigade advanc-
ed, fighting steadily all the afternoon.
Everything was going favorably until
the line ON the right of Burnside broke
and began to retreat past the knoll
where the brigade was in position. The
Seventy first was ordered to interpose
between the retreating troops and the
enemy and did so until ordered to re-
treat by the division general. 1t lost in
the battle 60 officers and men, 10 being
killed and 81 wounded.
Without being in any sense a pet
regiment the Seventy first stands well
in the estimation of the mass in New
York 1t is peoples regiment. The
regimental armory was for many years
on the site OF The Herald building,
Thirty fifth street and Sixth avenue.
Since Bennett invaded the square it
has occupied fine new armory at Thir-
ty-fourtb street and Park avenue, at the
lower end Of the Fourth avenue railway
tunnel Colonel Francis Vinton Greene
led the Seventy first to the front, He is
a son of General George Greene of the
civil war and brother of Lieutenant
Samuel Dana Greene, the hero of the
Monitor fight after Captain Worden
was disabled. Colonel Greene is an ex-
in the army at Manila.
Perhaps the Seventy first has been {
pet of Colonel Greenes He is mill
