She talked of the weather, new bonnets, dress goods, the Latimer case, the latest suicide, awl a score of other things, and as elle filially rose up to go she said: " Well, I'm glad we met. Will you exchange cords?" -••" • '  "Madame, that old lady is as deaf as a stone,* said one of the passengers. "Is it possible ?" "It is. Didn't you notice that she paid no attention to anything you amid ?" "Didn't she?" "No ma'am." "Well, that's queer." "Nor any of 118, ma'am."

THE SUICIDE OF MK JUSTICE WILLES.  There has been an unusual number of suicides of late, painfully illustrating Dr. Young's words, " 0 suicide. our island's shame ;" but though one of theoo sad cases—Um self-d.truction of Alice Oswald, the governess—excited a large amount of public attention, the melancholy suicide of Mr. Justice Willes haa given the public mind a far greater shock. Inatances of lawyers dying by their own hand have been comparatively rare, and though the .d event which has just been the topic of the day han called to mmd some instances of the kind, it would be easier to recall the moues of self-destroyers a.y other profession. hut a few days ago it might have been thought that Mr. J.tice Wines was, to use the common expression, the last man that might have been supposed likely to commit suicide ; but now that we have read and refl.ted on the sad story, we Clll2 hardly easign cause for the self-destruction that was not known or suspected by the public, with whom, indeed, Mr. Justice Willes w. not very familiar. The medical gentleman who woo mint for the moment the fatal deed had been committed, stated that he had known kis lordship for about eight years, that he was rather an absent man, .d never strong; that he always had heart-disease, and was only kept going with . the utmost possible care. Sir. Barnes, his chief clerk—a geutlemasa who holding the position of " 6.1 y-clerk," as it is called, had ma ' intimate ps,onal knowledge of the jodge—gave a clear said painfully detailed narrative of events immediately preceding the judge's death. The. , events prove that orer.work, want of rest, and . illness, combined, serio.ly affected L.. The medical attendant gave it as his opinion that suppressed or undeveloped gent affected the heart and the brain at the sante time ; and the
