Aluwyer makiné his will bequeathed his estate to fools and madmen, “for," said be, “from such I had it and to such I give it." Salon compared the people to the sea and the lawyers to the wind. “The sea,” he said, " will be calm find quiet if the wind does not trouble it.” In the reign of Henry VI. courts were held at Dorking every three weeks, and there are instances of suite lasting six months, and re- sulting in damages of four pence and costs of twelve pence. From the earliest time the kings of Env- lsnd have taken a delight in hawking and spent largely uplon it. Alfred the Great is reported to e t e author of a treatise on the sport, and Edward the Confeesor devoted to hawking whatever time he could spare from religious exercise. It was at first un~ doubtedly a Northern amusement, and spread sou:hwardsâ€"â€"â€"where it was quickl appre- ciatedâ€"when the ancestors of William the Cor queror settled on the northern shores of France. The Norman Conquest gave fresh life and vigour to the pastime in England, and from that time it became more a " class” sport than before. It was costly to a degree; to obtain a thoroughly efficient bird often necessitated a special Journey to Norway All through the reign of Henry II. the Exchequer accounts show heavy pay- ments for ”Norweyan” hawks. The taste for the sport was fully shared by the aristo- cracy of the Middle Ages. To train and skilfully manage a hawk was part at the gentlemen’s education. The famous “ Duke of Saint Albans " (A, n. 1486) assigns to every rank its particular kindâ€"for the king a "gerfaloome ." for an earl a "peregrine." or a lady a "marlin," for a “ youn man " a “hobby," for a priest a “sparrow; ’ while a “holiwater clerke" had to be content with a “ musket." European civilization may have wrought changes, but up to a few years ago the Chinese code was so simple that the services of attorneys were not necessary, and there we} not) lewyer in__the whole empire. 3 "Brjvcarthralluding to the firaetice of lawyers, wrote : “ I-‘or fees. to any term they mould a cause. The worst has merits and the best has flaws; Five gulness make a criminal today, And ten to-morrow wipes the stain away." In the rolls of the British Parliament, 1445, is a petition from two counties setting forth that the number of attorneys had lately increased from six to twentvlour, whereby the peace of those counties had been greatly interrupted by law suits. They asked that the number he reduced to fourteen. Which Was the More to be [in- . vied? .

Telegrams irom Durban, bring news of yet another Zulu war. Intelligence has been received of the return to N'Konjeni of the police and soldiers, and the native levies forming a. support to the farmer, from Hlopeknln Hill. The Uantns were found in a strong position among dense, bushy kioofs. Atter six hours’ resistance they were dispersed with heavy loss, 1,000 of their cattle being ruptured: Thecssnelties on the British side‘includeâ€"killed, Lieu- tenant Briscoe, of the Inuiskilling Fusiliers; Mr. Trent, leader of a native levy, and three natives ;wouuded, one Basuto (danger- ously), and seven others. The extent of the losses among the native levies is as yet unknown. Ishinguna‘s fate is uncertain, but it is said that he escaped on horseback. A later telegram says a force comprising a detachment of British troops and police and native levies attacked the rebel chief Ishiu- guns, and utterly routed him after six hours’ severe fighting. Intelligence re- ceived from Zululand states that four chiefs of the Inkandhla District attacked the loyal chief Sokotyata and looted his cattle. They afterwards attacked the residence of the district magistrate, who. with the help of a few native police and Sokotyata's men, repulsed the enemy with heav loss after several hours' fighting. The oss on the British side was trifling. More encounters will have to follow i, as some suspect, Dinizulu and his following are acting with the connivauce of the Boers. Dinizulu re- presents the wer of Cetewayo. or what is left of it, an he is at deadl feud with a chief under British pmtect on, whom he has just overthrown. Usibe n, his enemy, was only saved by timely liig t to a British police station. The eneagements have probably been brought about b a punitive expedition against Dinizulu. i he has the Boers at his back it will be easy to err by trying to punish him too much. Sir Robert Peel's llonor.‘ A private letter, it is said, should never be produced, and as proof of this the conduct of Sir Robert Peel toward Mr. Disraeli is cited. Mr. Disraeli had commenceda series of venomous rsonal attacks against Sir Robert in the onse of Commons. Sir Rob- ert hinted that their cause was to be found in his havln refused to give him oiiice. Mr. Disraeli in ignantly replied that he had never asked for oiiice, and challenged Sir Robert. to reduce one single proof that he had. Sir obert had at the time a letter from Mr. Disraeli askin him for t‘ihce, but neither produced it nor a luded to it, broause his high sense of honor would not allow him to make use of a private letter, the pro- duction of which would have crashed his opponent.

Quicksand is composed chiefly of small articles of mica mixed largely with water. he mica is so smooth that the fragments slip upon each other with the reatest facil- ity, so that any heavy body which displaces them will sink and continue to sink until a solid bottom is reached. When particles of sand are jigged and angular. any weight pressing on them will crowd them together until they are compacted into a solid mass. A sand composed of mica or soepxtcne, when sufficiently mixed with water, seems incapa- ble of such consolidation. Herr Thza, the Anetrien prime minister, is a Hungarian, and woe born in 1830.

Last year an Indian named Kitwon Cool Jim murdered an Indian doctor at the forks of thQSkeena. A posse of specials under Mr. Washburne was sent frcm this city to arrest the murderer. When they arrived at Hssalton it was dis- covered that Jim had gone to the mountains to elude the otfieers. The party consisted of \Vashburne, Loring, Green, Holmes and Par- ker. They enoamped at Halzelton and await- ed the return of the murderer. Early in J une they received information that Jim was at a place called Kitangar, about fifteen miles below the Forks. 0n the morning of the 19th of June an Indian' brought news that Jim was in a house at Kitangar. Early in the morning three of the party walked down to the house, which was occupied by twenty Indians. Jim was among the number, and was called upon to surrender. He made a break for the door and ran towards the bush. Holmes fired a revolver over his head after calling him to surrender but he still kept on. Green then [raised a Winchester rifle and fired striking him in the back, the bullet going clear through his body. Jim fell and expired in a short time. Wash- burne and Loring came to the scene of the tragedy an hour after the shooting, and handed the body over to an Indian, who is acting as missionary. The] latter told Washburne to take his specials to a place of safety on account of the threats made by J im’s friends to massacre the party. The specials then returned to Hezelton, where they are at present hemmed in by the hostile Indians. They have erected bastions of tim- ber and bags of sand, and can hold out for a month if the Indians can be prevented from burning the place. Borland is engaged in packin goods for the Hudson’s Bay Co. be- tween dbzelton and Babine’s Lake, or F ort' Babine. His freight train with five men are above Hazelton, and no freight can be carri- ed up. He had great difficulty in coming down. His canoe was stopped by one rty of Indians, and the occupants were or ered to return. Borland was determined to get through, and at last convinced the na- tives that he was not connected with the specials. At every encampment his four Indians Went ashore and held a conference with their brethren. Among the whites in the locality where the shootin took place areâ€" Mr. Clifl'ort and wife (in 0 ar e of the Hud- son‘s Bay store). the Rev. r. Fields and wife, and Mrs. Hankin and family. They are very much troubled over the state of nfi‘airt. The Indians demand Green to be handed over to them, and one thousand dollars paid them. If the specials refuse to accept their demands they threaten to burn down the houses and murder every white person in the locality. An Indian trapper is still out on the mountains and a number of their men at work in the oanneries. Indian women are calling on their warriors to avenge the death of Jim. Mr. Borland says prompt steps should be taken by the Government. Should an n ris- ing taksplace thellivesof all will be sacri oed. The Indians will not allow another white person to come down the river, and unless a large party proceeds to Hazelbon without a moment's delay the result will be the massacre of the specials. The river is not navigable for a man of-war, and the Gov- ernment will probably send a small stern wheel steamer and a large force of spselals up. If an example is wanted of devotion cn the part of a women the story of the Em~ press Victoria at her dyinu husband’s bed- side will be quoted for all time. Germany little knows the amount of self-abnegation and devotion that the widowed Empress hae displayed during many months. In her husbands critical state it was absolutely necessary for her always to wear a cheerful and hopeful face, and her country people reproached her for her hopefulness. But without this the late monarch would doubt- less have snccumlnd long since. It was of the highest importance to him to feel and imagine that there was alwaysa chance of a better turn in his malady. Those in her Majesty’s immediate vicinity know well how she always checked them when they tried to use words of sympathy, for she saithâ€"“If you begin to talk of pity I shall break down, and I dare not shed a tear in the Kaiser‘s presence."
