I would say that your New York

When you stop and think that
years ago Sir Thomas Upton was a
common field hand on the planta

that he performed mental labor in
New York city, and that the first
money he ever possessed was earned
by hard toll in this country, his
present elevation falls little short Of
marvellous.
Down on the East river front
stands the squalid sailors hotel
where he roomed in those days, and
the landlord still stands in the door

Tuesday morning a conversation be-

Sir Thomas Upton and the men he

for me to attempt to pass upon the
charge brought here against Dorr jew

legally examined and prof. upon.
"I have examined it and considered
it far enough to see that a very strong
case can be made for it's legality. with
all that would result from it. The
charge that is here made is premature,
to say the least; nor do think that, in
any event, the defendant has been
guilty of anything more than a tech

discharged; also the lady"
The Judge smiled graciously upon US,
Mr. Garnett capered about the bar and
Mr. Dorion renewed his greetings,
mingled with congratulations. The
popular anger had now turned upon
Conrad Bostock, and he and his friends
withdrew by rear door, to escape be-

posed to give me triumphant ride on
their shoulders, and it was with some
difficultythat escaped their attentions.

Mr.. Dorion and his eldest daughter.
