Long Career In Law.

Almost half a century has passed
since the death of Daniel O'Connell,
but there is at least one barrister still
alive who acted as his junior counsel
in Ireland. He is Townsend McDer-
mott. the father of the Australian bar
and possibly of the Irish bar also. He
graduated at Trinity college, Dublin.
in 1910 and was called to the Irish bar
shortly afterward. In the early sos
McDermott emigrated to Australia and
established himself on the Ballarat
gold field. where he has lived ever
since. He acquired a leading practice
in the mining courts and represented
Ballarat East for some time in the
Victorian parliament, also holding
ONCE as solicitor general. He is now
nearly 80.

Famous French curfew Bell.

A note from Rouen states that the
Rouvel. the celebrated bell in the
belfry of the town hall. which rings
the curfew every evening from 9
O'Clock to a quarter past. is cracked.
and 1t Is feared that further use may
cause 1t to fall to piece. The curfew
has been temporarily discontinued in
consequence. The Rouvel dates from
the thirteenth century and is generally
called the SILVER bell" In 1882
Charles vi ordered the confiscation OF
the bell because it had been used to
give the signal for popular rising
but compromise was subsequently
arrived at. and the king accepted q
sum of money instead OF the Rouvel.
1t appears probable that the bell will
either be recast or preserved In the
local museum.

SLANG from ROYAL Lips.

When Prince Henry of Prussia Wis.,
tied the United States about a year
ago persons were surprised to see
how quickly he picked up American
idioms. To those associated with him
1t was not uncommon to hear such
phrases as made him feel like thirty
cents" "out O. sight" and go way
back and sit down." with other current
slang of twelve months ago, come trip

tion convention. Prof. e. B. Ferris, as
ment station at McNeill, Miss, point
ed out how the same mistake had been
made in regard to the pine lands OF
the Southwest. McNeill is flfty-seven
miles from New Orleans on the New
Orleans & Northeastern and in the
heart of the pine belt. That belt has
been viewed with disfavor by the
farmers. 1t was good for numbering,
they said, but scarcely suitable for
agricultural purposes. and most of the
farmers have passed by and moved on
to the rich river bottoms. 1t would be
a great misfortune for the South were
this so, for its pine lands take up
large portion of its area, nearly half
of Mississippis and Louisiana. But
Prof. Ferris shows very clearly that it
is not so and that the pine lands, like
the sandy lands of California. can be
made most productive If it be gone
about in the right way. This is good
news. as the pine lands are occupied
mainly by whites. while the river bot
toms and alluvial lands are given over
to the negroes. Whatever white i'm

section is likely to settle in the pine
hills and it is well to know that we
