&c. for the defendant. The defendant
claimed they could not recover, because
the plaintiff corporation. under the laws
of Pennsylvania, where it WAS charter
ed, could not legally form partner
ship with any one. The lower court
sustained this contention and plaintiffs
appealed
The court says:
The sole question, then, presented for
consideration by this record, is whcth-
er the Circuit Court erred in sustain
ing said plea and Diminishing plaintiffs
action. AS In the question whether a
corporation can form Il partnership
with an individual, the authorities are
conflicting. 1t is believed that the
weight OF authority is to the effec.
that a corporation cannot form n
partnership with an individual. In Z
Am. and Eng. Enc. Law the law is
stated thus: "A corporation has no
power To form Il partnership with an
IN n

seems clear that corporations are not
implicitly authorized to enter into

A View of Edm un DIS.

George F. Edmunds had high repu-
tation in the country as an able lawyer
and faithful and independent senator.
He had unquestionably rendered great
public service in the senate. 1t elected,
| believe he would have administered
the presidency on the principles which a
large majority of the people of Massa-
chussets held He was an excellent de-
batter. He was very fond of criticising
and objecting to what was proposed by
other men. He seemed never so happy
as when in opposition to the majority
of his associates But he possessed what
persons of that temper commonly lack
great capacity for constructive states
manship. Any measure Of which ne
was the author would be likely to ac-
complish its purpose and to stand fire.
David Davis, who was president pro
tempore of the senate, used to say he
could always compel Edmunds to vote
in the negative on question by put
ting the question in the old New Eng
land fashion, Contrary minded will
say no. for Edmunds was always con-
trary minded. 1 once told him, borrow
ing saying of al Englishman, that If
George Edmunds were the only man in
the world George would quarrel with
Edmunds Senator George F. Hoar, in
Scribner's.

A psinter of Children.

A writer in The Century tells how
the noted French artist, NJ. Boutet de
Monvel, became painter of children'e
portraits:
De Monvel's illustrations are full Of
atmosphere and an exquisite feeling for
the out Of door world. The fine effects
of light and shade, the tone and COM
position Of these pictures place them
far beyond any others Of their class,
and proclaim them the work CT con-
summate artist. Boutet de Monve)
spoke to the children of France as they
had never been spoken to before. Bend
ing over the bewitching pictures they
exclaimed, "Ah, he understands! And
the fathers and mothers, looking from
the little ones who read and enjoyed
to the pages over which they bent, saw
at once that here was painter with
new and rare faculty for comprehend
ing childhood. They sought Boutet de
Monvel to paint their sons and daugh-
tiers, till he became, one might say.
"painter in ordinary" to the children.
