Do you ac- cept the reaponsib'lity of rejecting has thrilled a generation of Mr. Osler’s country men. The oratory of Mr. Osler bears no resemblance to that of any of the many orators to whom history has accorded enduring fame; and in no way Was this more emphatically illustrated than by the addresses of the counsel in the varied trial of the Hvams brothers. The argument of Hon. Mr. Justiwe Lount (then Mr. Lout, Q C.) was marked by its state- liness. its dignity, its exactness and its precisionâ€"travelling sometimes in proximity to the language border- ed margin of rhetorical fluidity, and at other times approaching the ll:er~ ary hrilliancy of the ancient Cicero, or of the modern Edward Everett. The case for the Crown was present- ml by Mr. Osler in a very different manner. His sentences, short, point- ed. and each ladened with a truth- Wero shot like well aimed arrows, with awful and deadly precision a, their vulnerable mark. Every syllat« hle and every sentence went home to the minds of the twelve who held the lives and the liberties of the ac- oused in their hands. The following sentences chosen from this and others of his convinc- ing and enlightening arraignments, are in Some degree indicative of that unique and fascinating style which There are men whose word on oath we’ll take, while their notes are go- ing to protest. every day. If an accident couldn’t. have taken place. look for the motive and look for the murderer. The intellectual attainments of that distinguished counsel, which accorded him such a lorenaic pro. eminence, were almost too abundant to enumerate. Asa laborious and painstaking adviser. skilful to per- ceive the substance of the intricate issues involved in a lawsuit, careful to advise, and unremitting in his ap- plication to the most arduous details ofacause. he had very low rivals and probably no superiors. It is, however as a counsel pleading before a jury, that he recorded his most signal triumphs. In that situation he knew no pet-r.

A man who contemplates a crime always does it skilfully, to make sure; so always look for an appear- ance of innoczeme when the crime is one of skill. The dangerous criminal is the scheming criminal. who never. if possible lets his hand be seen. Circumstantial evidence is the only thing that brings the crime home to him. It was hard to say which was the most dangerous to the commun- ity. the man who had the brains to scheme. but not the courage to kill. or the man who had not the brains! to scheme. but will take an axe at another’s bidding and do the murder. It is nonsense to say that a man running from danger would have more care of himself than for his watch. If there was any danger to the watch there was also danger to the man. You may say “ circumstantial evidence is not reliable. Men have been innocently convicted on Circum- stantial evidence.” But, remember, all calculated crimesâ€"all crimes that are not of the impulse of the moment â€"â€"are brought home by circumstanti- al evidence alone. The man who plots a crime plots it with no one to See him. Is the arm of the law so short that only the man who openlv commits a crime can be convicted? If the stake is lost you must find the spot with pointers. They say that the prisoner was never in the woodsâ€"never in the swamp on that fatal day. What do the mud on the boots and the turned up trousers mean ? Paying five per cent. a month was ruinous. Where was the memey to Greed tempts many a. man to his death. Where you find memory keen on events that. do not concern a man, and memory gone on events that do immediately concern him, what can you say of him? Justice has toibe administered to all sorts and conditions of men. Honest. men need never have any fear of detectives. Was it natural that the prisoner should avoid the nearer houses and go to the more distant ones and tell the tale? You must do your duty to the community as well as to the prisoner. A lax administration of the law is one of the greatest evilsa country canhave. They were fleeing that night when no man pursued. yet. feeiing that behind them was the horseman reach- ing for themâ€"the horseman that is always pursuing the guilty. Why did he on a winter’s day come back with only a pair of overalls, when he had the tweed? Did'not the stitches in the small tear look like those that would be made by a woman. while the large stitches were those you would ex- pect boys to make in using a needle and thread. his statement ? Why should he come and tell what is not true?

Canada Life Some time after Monday morning’s train drew out of Meaford, a man’s head was found near the railway track a little distance from the sta- tion. No further trace of the body could be discovered, and the ghastly find created a great sensation. As the news Spread with thtning ra- pidity over the slumbering town. crowds of people gathered and a search was made for the body. At long intervals further down the track limbs and pieces of flesh and blood clotted clothing were picked up and when a box had been secured the remains were placed side by side, there to await the arrival of the cor- ouer. The unfortunate victim was recognized by the head as a man named “Billy” McIntyre, who is said to have been about 76 years of age and very deal. He had worked about the neighborhood, chiefly among the farmers, for years and was well known in the town. How he came to meet with such a horrible death will probably never be known, but it is surmised that he must have been walking on the track.â€"Post.‘ (3| uuu | VIIOIII “All UU. uu "1m. uauauu UllU Building, 42 King St West Toronto. liouklet sent fr.ee It Oures all creamâ€"Here are a few names of clergymen of different creeds who are firm believers in Dr. Agnew’s Catarrhal Powder to ” live up to the preaching" in all it claims.
