The Irish Bar.

Just now there is a good deal of ex- citement amongst the legal element in Dublin as to filling up the vacant judgeships. The majority of the judges on the Irish bench are Protestants, and the Roman Catholics are anxious that one of their persuasion gets the billet. From an unofficial census of the Irish bar, which has lately been taken. it appears that there are 399 practicing barristers in Ireland. Of these 253 belong to the various Prot estant communions. 150 are Roman Catholics, and 1 is Jew. Out of 56 Queens Counsel. 16 are Roman Catho- lies. It is held that if the proportion of each creed in the profession were maintained in the judiciary, judge ships out of the IS should be filled by Roman Catholics, whereas at present there are only three Catholic judges on the bench.

LAWRENCE, INFANT PRODIGY
Attracted the Attention of Garcicl
 Foote. Burke and Sheridan.


 Foote, Burke and Sheridan.
 Raphael, with genius at his back, did not come to maturity so quickly, nor did Rubens, triumphant at Antwerp, hold popular applause so long; for Lawrence kept his admiring public to the last, and was something of 8 won der both as man and boy, says the Century. His whole career was bril- liant, yet not through intrinsic force; his art was successful without being great; he was honored and praised down to his grave. and yet he possessed not genius There are men who achieve popular success without genius. Lawrence was one of them. The father was man of some birth and eduea- tion, but what is called the poetic temperament, and never got on very well in the world. He was at different times a barrister without a brief, an actor without a part, a keeper of the White Lion inn at Devices without guests enough to make it pay. When young Lawrence was years old his father made a change of base and moved into the Black Bear inn. It was here that the boy was placed upon a table to recite Shakespeare for the guests. Here, also, he developed a wonderful gift of making portraits in pastel of the passing public. 4 guest could have a portrait painted while he waited, and the speed of the artist was not less wonderful than his age. The duchess of Devonshire and Lord and Lady Kenyon were among his early sitters, and the record is preserved that Lady Kenyon's likeness was drawn in profile, because, as the child artist de- clared, her face was not straight" ," In a short time he had attracted the attention of Garrick, Foete, Wilkes, Burke, Sheridan and Johnson, and his father began travelling with him about the neighboring country and exhibiting him as one of the wonders of the age.

PECULIAR END OF RUNAWAY
Adam Ato1's Horse Falls Into O'Neill
 Building Cellar.

A most peculiar accident occurred yesterday afternoon, when a horse be- longing to Adam Ator, zanjero of the Grand canal ran away and fell into the cellar of the O'Neill building at First avenue and Adams street. MT. Ator had hitched his horse, attached to a cart, at the side of the Kessler- Boyle building. The animal became frightened and broke away from it's fastening. Swinging around it darted across the street and struck the curb. Here the brute fell and slid helplessly across the sidewalk until it struck 9 grating, which served as part of the walk, and covering the window to the cellar This structure gave way and the horse went down through the opening, struggling desperately. Its hind quar- ters struck One-Of the windows and with a crash it fell through clear to the cellar below. Bystanders hurried to the scene and endeavored to eXtricate the horse. He was cut and bruised, covered with blood and almost fright ensd to death. An effort was made to lead him up the stairway but he baked at that and no amount of persuasion could get him to venture up the steps. An elevator was finally lowered and on it he was hoisted and led out of the building. A great gash had been cut in his side and two ribs were broken. A veterinary sewed the cut and it is likely that the horse will recover.

TERRIBLE NOME
Billy Blankenship Says It Is No
 Place For a Christian.

A letter was received in this city yes terday from David Turner, formerly court house plaza gardener. who is now at Nome getting ready to return to the United States. The situation at Nome. MT. Turner says, is terrible. Nome is busted" continues MT. Turn CT, and everybody is engaged in d stampede to get away. Hundreds are walking the streets unable to get work or a meal; 5000 names have been regis tered with the government authorities of applicants for free transportation back to the states. This is a delightful climate so far this summer, but there is no rain. The creeks are dry and work is suspended in consequence. The beach is being worked for eleven miles north of Nome and a long distance south, with all kinds of appliances. Pumping engines are in great demand, as they pump the water from the sea into sluice boxes and clean up the entire beach. There are several Phoenix people here and some are going away. In thirty days there will be a great rush to get away. Nome is destined to be a good thriving town, but it is overdone now. Many of the richest mines are in the hands of receivers and the others are waiting for rain" MT. Turner eX- poets to return to Phoenix this fall
 A friend of Billy Blankenship who is at Nome, received a letter from him yesterday. MT. Blankenship writes that he is doing his level best to get out of that misrepresented and God-forsak- en country and if he gets back to Ari- zona he swears he will stay here until he shall be permanently called hence. MT. Blankenship says that Nome is not only not a good place to make money in but it is a rude sort of town. It is not an uncommon thing for four of five men to be killed there in a single day, and never day goes by without one or more shooting scrapes. Mir. Blanken- ship advises all of his friends in Ari-
