Last night's performance, as before noted, was both instructive and amusing. The audlonce was kept in a continual state of merriment from the beginning to the close of the play, although many bright sayings ln tbo dialogue passed by unnoticed. Tho play was handsomely put upon tha stage and capitally acted. Miss Ida Lewis as i'lorenot ifolvsrfon, tha heiress, dlsplaja4 muoh viva olonsnesa, being "awfully sweet and awfully Jolly," as honsablU had It. Miss Dollta Woolwine Nobles presented the banker's Jessie Orayton, very nicely, while Miss Ada Morton was highly anccessful as Curnc Saviin, a book gont who interviewed tho" Inter viewer.

Mr. Edwin L. Mortimer, as, Potur Alford, was most excellent. Mr. Alonzo Schwartc, who, under name of Max essays tbo triple cbaractar of our oonsla German, domestic and a printer's devil, carried the burden of the funny business of tho evening in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.

He is an excellent comedian. The subordinate characters were but was denied it. He, retired as a more consulting lawyer without recognition in the courts. Sinoe that time ho oeasedto occupy a position in tha pnblio eye: Suoh a life is not trithout its Bignifloance to the world, even if it shows nothing, more than tho inability of rmoro intellootnal supremacy to properly diroot one's course. Mr.

James had tho brilliancy and fire of true genius, an intellect, perhaps, soqond to none of his day. It was balanced by less than the moral power of an infant. In personal gifts he was said to be as remarkably endowed as in mentfd qualities, for his goniality, companionableness and good humor wero proverbial. His anecdotes and wittioisms were quoted from man to man, and his light hearted gayoty never soomed to flag. But that sense of the beauty of doing right at any Baoriflce and the moral intuition that detects ruin as an inevitable oons.equence of vrrong doing, seems to havo.

boon more than usually wanting iu mains to bo soon. That they would find the investment profitable is highly probable. Tho routine busiuoss of the board was not of much importance but tho following resolution offered by Aldermau Baird is likely lead to sorao vory earnest talk Jteso'ved, Tliat tbe Commissioner of ttio Department City Works bo and he horeby Is directed to notify the Elevated Railroad Company to removo the gr. julte foundation alonoa from Washington avenue, tt'allnbout place and Hewca atroet, within two days from the data the notice to that effect, and If the said railroad company "hall negloct or ref use to morn tho said foundation Btoues within tha tlmo tnentlonod, the said coin ruisslonor is hereby dlroctod to cause oatd foundation tones to ba carted to and atnred In the corporation yard at tlie oxpeniio of tho railroad company ufol oaald. Tho uncomplatod road is an intolerable nuiaanoc, whatever it might prove if finished.

Tho Bruff Company was a fraud at the beginning and has not changed its oharaoter. Moreover Judgo Gilbert has recently dooidod that its charter is worthless. The city owes it to itself well as to the affected property owners, under these ciroumslanoes, to see to that the seotlonB of the road thus far erected are either Joined and put In running order or knocked downjHid carted, off, Important to Sugar Kefinors. It may ba remomborod by the general reader that some two years ago there was a great deal said about frauds practioed on the Treasury Department by sugar importers. Secretary Sherman devoted groat deal of time to the subject, and figured as a roformer entitled to no small credit for his services in this matter.

Under our laws, sugars imported are graded acoordiug to the Dutch standard, by which is meant soalo of color running white to vory dark brown. The duty imposed diminishes as the color darkens, for the reason that tho quantity Mr, Sooviile has submitted to District Attorney Corkhlll the blU of exceptions in tha Qulteau Case.

He said, among many other good things: There 1b both a duty and adifflcn.ty ln helping othor psoplo. The duty is vory plain, but there is also a force underlying which prompts i ns to duty, which moves us to help others.

That animal sympathy. Wo feci ourselves uncomfortable whon we aoe others ragged and wrotcbed. But duty hmbor thau this natural force. All Christ's miracles, except tho withering of the fig tree, were wrought in connection with tho physical disabilities of mini, and eighteen of hia miracles wore wrought upon sick peo pie. And his injunction to us of "freely yo hove received, freily given," i as urgent upon us to day as over.

Wo oan work miracles by relievinK the sick and thft laat nnr own JoBtinY Will turn liou tho way we hava obeyed His command. But the difficulty Is that nauporisin Is increasing every year In lti cuuulng and propensity to imposturo, and wo know not who is worthy of help.

After a duet by the Loar staters, which was encored and rosponded to, tho election ot a board of forty six managers for the ensuing year took place, and then THE REV. W.

Thau quiet mind is ooaduclre to tho acquisition of a sound, body. "Anger is euon luminous." said tha wise man, and Tonnyaou haa written "Temperance and repose Slam the door on tbo doctor nose."

Tlib Testimony Submitted Boforo Coroner Keller Last Hirrht The Hartford Stenta Boiler lusurauco Company Hold 8oIeIj Responsible for the Explosion tTlaat the Jury Eccommended. The inquest in the case of Levi 3. Stevens, engineor who waa killed by the explosion at Jaw ell's mills, at the foot of Fulton strsat, on the morning February 16, was continued last night by Coroner Keller. The Jurors woro all present.

Tho first wllaoii was HABBM HAWLBY, who testified ss follows I am an engineer, and live at FlnaMnff VAnna Hkvj. l.nan an AfioinAsr ifnAA 1853, and am now employed in Liberty street, Maw York I know deceased, and I saw blm and had a oos versation with him about a minute before the explosion poourrad we talked a tow minutes about tha oa glue, and he askod ms to sit down and read the paper i rsspectiuuy aeounea to ao so, as 1 naa go to Hew York I remarked to tbe enginear, "Qllb you keep the steam up pretty wall," and ho ropUod, "I've got to doso; they have Just been in hore after vasy tho gaugo then aho wed forty six pounds I said to (SO engineer, "Keep those boilers choek full of water and they will bo all right." I did not know tha condition oJ the bollors, nor did I ask anything about them. Th engiuoer said that be was obliged to carry the amount steam required, but did not say anything about iho bollors being dangerous; tho engineer said that "they" wero in after him all tho time to koop up the ateara. it was customary to carry about forty sis; pounds of Bteam, and on the day of tho explosion there was sufuo lent water in tho boilers, according te the glasses. The noxt witness called was Mr.

George who testified I reside at No. 195 South Oxford atreat, and am an onglneer ln tho United States naval service, A prolonged discussion ensued at this point, as to whether or not the testimony should bo admitted. The witness wsb plaosd on tho stand by the defouse, fr the purposo of showing tho offlcaoy of the hammer test, which was that used by the Hartford Steam Boiler Insttr anse Company. Coroner Keller said that ha thought tha testimony of witnesses would be Irrelevant unless it bad epoolal application to tbe particular boilers tn question. Witness was, howover, permitted to.

answer questions, and ne teatlQed that a boiler ot aeven foot diameter, of quarter inch Iron, aould stand fifty pounds of Dtoam. Tho question of aga was not always Important, as wltnoBB knew of a boiler whioh was last weok taken out from a boat after elgbtoen years of Borvloo, and which was nearly as thick and strong aa was when now. Tho quostlon of safety dopended upon tho bracing of the boiler. A boiler could bo made to oarry almost any amount of steam, and every brr.ee in a boiler ehould be In a lino with the strain which tho steam Is going to put upon it. It would bo the duty of a boiior inspector to find out whothor or not tho braces wero lu proper position.

The hydro statlo tost, ln tho opinion ot witness, did not amount much, tho hammer test being tbo only ono by whioh tho real condition of a boiior eould be ascertained, Aa an evidence that tho hydrostatio test amounlod to little, wltuess mentioned the case of tha Chenango, whioh blow up ln tho Navy Yard during the war, and whioh Btood sixty pounds pressure hydroBtatlo test, and blew up at a pressure of less than forty pounds as a sole dependence, tho hammer test was not a good ope of his own personal knowledge, witness did not know that tho Chenango was Bubjooted to tho hydrostaUo test. The noxt wltnesB was DANIEL K. OOSOEOVB, who toslifled I reside at No. 274 Pearl Btroot, Now York, aud am an Inspector of tho Hartford Steam Boiler Ineuranco Company I last tested tho boilers at Jowoll's mills lu Juno, 1880 that was tho first timo I ea aminod them; sonio repairs hod to be made; part of a now shoot had to be put on boiler No. 3, and some patohes had to be put on tho girth or roundabout eoauis; it woa thon suggested that tha bollors bo repolrod and thoroughly cloanod tho suggestions inado wore oom plied with, and every threo mouths ainco au oxternal examination was mado of tho hollers; I saw tho boilers In April and Septenibor, 1881, and found them lu good condition the safety yalvo is largo onough to roltovo tlio boiior, and under ordinary circumstances the boiior would not gain any steam whllo blowing off I BliouKl prefer the hammer to tbe hydrostatio method ln tho tosting of bollors, tho lattor being only used by mo.

In the testing of now boilers to see whether or not thoy leakod. JOSEPH MO MUBBAT, another lnspeotor ln the oruploy of the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Company, testified that ho luspeoted tho bollors at Jewell's luille on the 30th of June, 1881. Ho found tha boilers lu good condition. Several light blisters lu tho fnrnacos wero found, but there was nothing sorlous to bo nomplaiued of. Tha attention of the engineer was called, ond tho seams of the boilers scraped aud pulnted.

An oxtcrnal examination of tha boilers was mado ou February 11, 1881, previous to the iutornal examination, aud everything was fouud in flrat class workiug older. So far as the preforonoo of wlt noBS was concerned, ho was lu favor of tho hammer rathe; than tho hydrostatio toBt. To Mr. Powers, witneBS said that bllstorB were oaused by Imperfect rolling of tho sheots, aud he did uot cou Bidor Imparfootly rolled sheets first class ones. Fifty pouuds etoam pressure was not, in tho opinion of wit mis3, too much for tho boilers to carry, BODEBT DUNOAN, of Elizabothport, Now Jersoy, was oallod to the stand and testified that he was au inspector of the Hartford Steam Uoiler Insurance Company; he mado an external examination of tho boilers at Jowoll's mills tho day before the explosion, and fouud ovorythlng in good working couclitiou the saluty valvo was lu good ordtr, and the watar was at a proper hoigbt; tho steam gauga lndioated forty fivo pounds pressuro when wituoss was prosout, and he did not consider that anything extraordinary, because ho know that Uio boilora woro author, (zed tn oarry fifty pounds pressuro; witness said he was present at the testing, and tho iron which waS out from tho boiior along tho lino of rupture showed a tonsilo strength of 48,000 pounds.

At this point a Juror asked why it was, if tha iron was ao strong, tho boilora burstod 7 Tho witness said in reply that ho was presont to tell the result of his examination he had no oplulon aa to tho cause of the explosion the Inspectors of the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Company did not fix tho amount of stoam to be oarrled; that point waa fixed at tho oflioe of tho company lu Hartford. nOBKET K. MO MURRAY, chlsf inspector of the Hartford Boiler Insurance Company, cestlfloii that he ni to Brooklyn to osUmata tho loss, and ascortain, If possible, the cauco of the oxploslon the boilers, ln tbo oplulou of wltuess. gava out at the drop or front aonuectlon, causod by a lagging ot tha boilers, the result of a settling of foundation, which Is ou flllod lu ground; If the explosion hnd been causod by ever pressure, the boileii would have given out lu the single rlvetod seams; accordion Io tho teusllo etrongth; the company had a right to pornilt tbo bollors to carry a fraction ovur 51 pounds pressuro; tf there had been a moro solid foundation for the bollors, tho rxploslon, in tbo oplulon of witness, would uot have occurred wltnoss had supposed that tho ground ou which the bollorB wero founded was solid, and did not hear that tho ground was uiaao until aftor tha explosion; tho company no Busplolon of tha Hsgulnje of the boilers; tho lujSrctors of tho oom pauy wore examined as to capability by tho City Bailor luBpootor. At tills point tho testimony was aunouucod as dosed, ond Coronor Keller proceodod to address tho Jury.

After dwelling upon tbo chiof points of tho testimony, ho said: "The Jewell mills took advantago of a law passed lu 1871, giving Bloam bollei the right to havo their boilers Impeded by incorporated insurance ooiupaulSB, aud If so Inspected thoy were ox ompl from any Inspection by tho authorities. It further appcam that tlin Hartford Stouin Boiior Insurance Company gave permission to carry fifty pounds of srciim, that tlio milling company carried from forty five to fortv cight pounds of steam, and that ou Fobruary Id, Ihh while carrying forty soven to forty eight poumls, tho botlor oxplodod, and jvl J. Slovens was killed from tho oilects of such explosion. Vou should flr. it doleruilno from tho evidence what was tin) causo the oxplosion, whether It was causod by defective boilers.

It is tho duty of ouiploycrs to liss ordinary csro and prudonco have nrd to keop tho bollors ln a snfo aud sound condition. If tho Jawell Mill Company or its olflccrs under all the oirciniistancas as reasonable mon Hlioul havo discovered tho defective condition of tlio boilers, if you find thorn to hare hern so, then, tu my opinion, they should bo sovoroly censured. If, on tin other hand, they did all that rea iouablo mon oould do under ciroumstanoBj, they should be oxon erated from all If you bolloyo tha practice allowed under tli law permitting Insurance oompanlos to inspect boilers and taku risks, and thus oxempt users from municipal iuspuciinn, to bo a pernleious one, you Bhould so state, and if possible Biiggost a remedy." THE VEllDIOT. The Jury totlred and returned the following ver dlot Wo find that Lev! J. Stevens come to his death qa tha lGth day of February, 1833, by the explojion of two boilers belor.gliKC to thu Jowull Milling Company.

We beliovo and find that tho sole responsibility for slid ex p'oflon r. Bli upon Hartford lioilor insurants Ooa? nauy and wo hold sold company rojponsililo for the donta of Levi J. in giving poi uimoiou to the milling company to carry au amount of steam which tho age of sold bollors did uot warrant, and which, iu the Jury's estimation, said boilers woro unablo to oan y. We are of tho opinion ond recommend that boilers bo tested in the future by both the hammer and hydrostatio test. LIABILITY.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaylit Tho report published sorao days ngo of a doclBlon to tho effect that a guardian ad litem for an infant plaintiff Is liable to Imprisonment fur nonpayment of costs recovered against the infant plaintiff has a tendouoy prejudicial and Injurious to me, I fcol sure, therefore, you will psrmlt me to state briefly tho fade. Tho attorney for the infant stotod to tne that ho was about to commence an action for tha recovery of dsmages for soma wroug tha infant had Buffered, and that on infant could not buo except by a guardian, and requested mo to aot as the guardian. I had no knowledge of tlio facts and no lntoreat In the matter, aud did not know the Infant and novor saw him. To obligo tho attorney and upon his assurance that I lnourred no rospousiblllty (excopt to pay oyer to tho lufaut any monoy rocovored), I consented to act as guardian.

The hardship and Injustice of tho statute in Bubjocting tho guardian, who Is not intorostod, to a liability greater than the party interested would be subjected to is recognized and confeBBed by the Judges.

HIDE A ISeiimin'b Tdeateb Fat Sooner Combination, Novbltt Theater Joshua Whrtcomb. BnKKiLL'B Brooklyn Mdsedk Humpty Dnmpty. MiddlxtOh's Dime SIoseoh Varieties. That much heralded play, "The Professor," was Been for tho first time in this olty at Haverly's last evening. Tha fntrodootton wa most happy one, the pieooat tmoa firm hold upon tha favorable appreciation of tha large and oritioal audience which filled the theater, and scoring constantly enlarging success from the Initial scene onward.

An almoBt continuous ways of laughtor xooompanled the unfolding of tha play, while the boautyand elegance of the stags setting was reoognlzod by unstinted applause, Tha causes that have won so much of success for "The Professor" elsewhoro a success which it bids fair to repeat ln Brooklyn He In the originaUty, simplicity and rapid acUon of the play, rathor than in its plot and artlstlo oonetrnotion. That in many things It is us oeptibla to orltioism from a dramatio standpoint ia truo yet it contains so much that appeals to and touohOB tho human hoart that it does not fall to create enthusiasm, and In so doihe lifts 'ho auditors above tho atmosphere of Judlolal analysis. Even tha orltto who sits down to diaseot tha play is brought under the influence, and finds himself laughing ln Bpita of hla serious task. "The ProfeBSor" can by no means ba oalled a play in a Shakapearean sense, but it is no more than fair to say that it does not aspire to suoh distinction. It may bo desoribed as a light oomedy farce, composed of a series of amusing tableaux, wi th jmt enough ot plot to make It exceedingly entertaining, the interest being maintained by the constant variation and rapid presentation of ludiorous aituatlons.

Probably tho most Important and striking incident in the performance ii tbo oolebrated brook scene. Here an ontiro ohango la produced ln the oharaoter of tho play, rollicking run and extravagant humor giving placa to sentiment and pathos, and coming in the midst of the nonsense of tho aooompsnylng scenes, creating a powerful impression. Tha story of "Tha Professor" is snbBtanUally as follows Professor UinsdaU is ft wealthy Bostonian scientist, who knows nothing of society, and of the world outtlda of tho dry facts of science. Astronomy Is his specialty but even in the purauit of this most beautiful of all solencos ha seems uneonsoloue of tha poetry of (he infinite universe, Ha Is Invited to spend faw weeks with his aunt, at a fashtonablo hotol in tha White Mountains. She Is a woman of the world, and has set hor heart upon having hor nephew, Ths Proea sor, marry ono of the charming young ladles who are under hor care for, like a good Now Englandwoman, sho is born matchmaker.

2 7ie Professor arrives at the hotol, and 1b ushored into the parlor, attired ln a brown ulster. His ludiorous opposranco before tha young ladles, who are ploturesque in light, fleecy garments, exoites surprise, but they aro too well brod to laugh at him in publle. Tho lotion progresses rapidly. Tht Professor is at once taken in hand by his aunt, and, before he has had tima to change his Unen and put on a proper ooat, ha Is Initiated Into the mysteries of love making by his relative, who at his request tolls him what to say and how to say It and Just as he resolves to pop tho question on the first opportunity several young ladles enter the room, aro introdaoed, and he at once enters upon tho programme outlined by hla aunt. Then follows a series of tha most amusing situations, and tho aot oloses with Estelle clinging to his neok, deolaiing her love, and The Profwor standing in tho midst of the entire company, boll ropo in hand and cold perspiration dooo ratlng hie brow.

His first essay ln the art of popping tho question has been mora anooossf ul than he dreamed of. Tha young lady Is. ready to marry him, but The Profctsor haB become bo alarmed that he appeals to the household for protection. Pursuing bis quest ho proposes to and beoomes engaged to each of tha young ladies in turn. In the suooeeding scene Daisy Brown appears a dark haired waif, who lives in the forest, talks with the birds, and is familiar with the secrets of tho woods and mountains.

She Is the heroine of tho piece. Threatened with violence by her reputed father, she appeals to the ladles for protootlou, and just as she ia about to be torn from them, The Professor appears, and with a single well directed blow knooks the bruto prone upon the ground, and places Daisy in oharge of his sunt Beauregard, a vagabond artist, iB prominent ln the play at this point, and in revapga for Twlng uncerBmonlouBly hustled out of the iriypkea the law in behalf of tha unnatural fntVe' "'later' on, oopies tho brook scene, a cbarmlnn bit 'of sceiary la the White Moun tains, disclosing a oanyori erf gorge with: fall of roal water tumbling down aria orartbo Jaggeq rooks. Here in an ihtorviow witn Daisy Mown The Professor discovers that he is in love with tho mountain waif aha reciprocates but their wooing ia interrupted by tha ontranca upon the scene of Harston, who olsims Daisu, and tho Professor reluetantly reslgnB her to his sup posod rival. He remains in tha mountains, his absence causing intense oommotlon at tha hotel. In tho mean time Beauregard and Brown appear, to demand the restoration to hor father of Daisy.

The safe return later of The Professor ia hailed with groat rejoiclngi which 1b but shortlived, however, for tho law, in tho person of the sheriff, atepa in and makes him a prisoner at the Instance of Urown. And here a climax is reaonea, Daisy boing shown to be tho long lost Bister of Mars ton, who had been supposed by The projessor to oe ms rival, and tho vUlaln Brown unmasked by Beaure nnrd In the closinc seeuo Professor Hinsdale is discovered undor an umbrella, niB arm oioeeiy oHnninff Dmsw Brown to his heart, whom ho complaoently introduces to hiB numerous fiancees as bis intended wife. The young ladies fall oaox BDnarontly disooncertod, but thoir ready taot avails them in tho emergency, and with a tremendous rush and a volley of eomplioatad laughter they assura The Professor that thoy were only making fun of him, amusiuB themselves at his expense, that they never loved him, which iact they forthwith provo by throw lne themselves Into tho arms of their respective lovers, who aro standing by, and the play comes to an ena wlthasneech from the bashful boy, Oustavus. Tbe latter, which is one of the most amusing characters in the play, was very oleverly portrayed by Mr. C.

W. Bailor, who originally oreated the part Miss Bella Jaokson. as Dot's; Brown, was graceful, ohlldlike and lovable, and looked and acted the charaoter charmingly, no beintr called before the curtain with Mr. Gillette and presented with an elegant basket of flowore. Men tton should also be made of tho Estelle of MIbs Nollio Morant tho Jlfrs.

Elliott of Mrs. Nellie Taylor the Mr. Tompkins ot Mr. Harry Allen, tno deugntiuiiy affectionate father of tho bashful boy of Mr. B.

Graham, the deteotlve artist, and of Mr. W. C. Cowper, who plays tho part of Henry Marston, the brother of Daisy Brown. Mr.

Cowper made a most pleasing im pression by hla manly acting and gentlomanly bearing. He is a promising young actor, and aosorvmg tno rec ognltlon ho received. Of The Professor ot Mr. Gillette it is needless to Bpeak, tha enthusiasm with which his afforts were received being the best testimonial as to the acceptability of his performance. The college songs attempted to be sung In the oourse of tho play are wretchedly delivered, and not at all up to the standard.

A pleasing feature of last evonlng's entertainment waa the presentation to eaoh lady of a dainty Heinrioh flower basket laden. with the choieost pro duota of tho conservatory. "Tho Professor" is to be presented at tbe matinee to morrow afternoon and on Saturday, and every evening throughout the week. Tha dsolded hit made bv tho play assures crowded houses at Haverly's daring the present engagement. "INTERVIEWS" AT THE PAMK.

Under the taking title of "Interviews or, Bright Bohemia," Mr. Milton Nobles last night submit ted 'a new play for popular approval at the Park boa ter. The play proved to ba fully as taking as its titio, a large audience following Hb development with un broken Interest and commending its merits by liberal and hearty applause. Mr. Nobles has struck a vol? happy vein in "Interviews." With jasS onoogh of the interior workings of newspaper life disclosed to whet the curiosity of his auditors with a spice or racy politi cal episodes with an Inexhaustible fund of wit andihn mor with a tinge of the most touching pathos, and a glimpse into the realm sacred tn lovers and loyemaking, he has constructed a play whioh, if not beyond criticism and altogether perfoot, yet seems destinod to command tho generous support and indorsement of the playgoing rmblio wherever presented.

The lntorest of the story centers around the principal character, Quilford Driverton, familiarly known as Quill Driver, an Inter viewer, a born Bohemian, with a vivid imagination, but heart in the riaht nlaco, Mr. Nobles haa inyestod Qtiiii with such a varied combination of humorj pathos, push, sentiment, braving and fidelity, made him so many sidod as it wero, that tho bright wlttsd jonrnal iBt 1b choerfully accopted as a friend by all classes of auditors on tho briefest acquaintance. The oharaoter as portrayed by Mr. Nobles la oleverly sus tained, and, although overdrawn and exaggerated in parts, is nevertheless amusing and instructive. The play, which Is in four acts or interviews, haB for its dot a shipwreck, whence the horo springs, the adopted Bon of an old Bailor, who saves his lif and keeps hie parentage a secret.

With an intelleot above that of his enforced Btatlon tha boy, a waif in Naw York, drifts into Bright Bohemia, working his way up from a lowly place ln a printing office to a reportorial poaition on a dally newspaper. Here ho finds scope for tho expan. eion of his bright intellect. By th3 bright drift ot circumstances Quilford, In seeking an interview, falls in with Porter Alfori. a rich banker, who has con sented to go Into politics.

The banker is pleased with the youth, and at his solicitation the young journalist lc assigned to take charge or, write up and conduct Mr. Alford's political canvass. While thus engaged in the country, Driverton meets hla fate in Alford's lovely niece, tho reputed helresB of a quarter of a mil lion, whose hand be unintentionally wing. His high sense of honor battles successfully against encouraging tho love of ono whose exalted poaition places an inaur mountable breach between them. Through the confessions of his aupposed father, the old sailor, It is finally discovered that ho Is the son of his employer, tha rioh banker, and thus being elevated to wealth he can honor ably toll the girl of his heart that ha lovoe her, and he wins her.

Tho Bohemian of Mr. Nobles Is not the Bohemian of tradition, reckless, tattered and torn, but a bright, keen, brilliant, witty, talonted journalist In all his and trials, whether in his lova making or eoRasod in hla reportorial duties, feasting or fighting, ho always keeps clearly in mind the fact that he is a gentleman. He pushes hla way with relentless vigor to the' object of' hla ambition; ut his or Immediate pergonal advantage never gained at the the h'tt the a la to In of It Guarding Days his Colonel for Tlireo from the Moflocs, Aud Now lu tho Dock on a Charge of MurderA Fatal Qnarrel in the Twilight.

Iu a oouple of minutes he coma back, put tha knlfo on a barrel, and said "There Is your knlfa; I don't wont It." Ho asked for matches, saying, "Sam fired tha razor at me and I want to look for it." Lydia Albert, with whom Steele was boarding, pulled him into the house, Her married name was Oliver. The neit thing witness hoard was MoLaughUn oalllng out, "Sam, keep baok with that razor." Tho witness put his haud ou Steele's arms and pushed him out of tho atoro as quickly as possible. Lydla Albert (or Ohvor) said that shaBaw Stoelo down with MoLaughUn butting him. After sho got Stoelo away upstairs into tho house close by whero ha lived. MoLaughUn called, "Come out, you black aud I'll kill you," etc.

JPr ice of Continuing the Discussion of the Tariff Qnention at Jefferson Hall Doe Promotion Add to the WagfCB of tho Work lugmaa Tke Yieiw of Mr. nomas G. Shearman and Others Upon the The Debate to be Resumed on Monday Fext. Before the debate upon the tariff question was resumed In Joffereon Hull lt night, it was olvod that tlw dlsouBBlon ahould bo limited to consideration of the effsots of protection on tae.tf age of tha, TTOrXlngman. Tnera was aa tlir observable Jnoreaie in the attondtmM, and the interest manlfpsled waa strong enough to the andienos intaot.

until nearly baii past efaTOn. Mr. KlnseUa, who oceuplsit the chair, expressed his intention of enforolng tho ten minnto rale, and leaping the speakers to lh question proper. The flobate was opened by Mr. BobertsoD.

THE DBBA.TE. Mr. Eobortson The question is whether protection lowers or increases tho wages of the working classes. With reference to this country, it may be said tuat in all newly Bottled countries the rata of wagsi BMtM ijlgher than in long iuhablted territories, so thatlft aiieehnnts may be. offered to settlers.

Now, aa to the oesa can a cent be convorted into dollar for thework iDKman 7 Every worklngman contributes a portion of effect or protection on wage; wumv.f Ills means to too protective vatm. iuo buya a oalioo wrapper contributes, as does tho amallast child who purohasoi a penny worth of oandy. Now, what do they get back for what they pay la A. man a labor ftudB Its own lerel in the market. The employer simply takes labor at the lowest price It can bo obtained for.

What is tho amount contributed to the pay of the working olaeees by the magical aid of protection JjCt ue tako the agriculturist how much does he got baolr. of what be pays in for protection ife iB an exporter, and of coureo ho get nothing at What doos the miner sot in return for his contribution Nothing at all, for the ore ho produces brings tho same price all over ths world at largo, so that protection doos htm no good. Tho inmborman pays a duty on orory ax ho uses and on every ploeo of ribbon his wife wears, and what does ho get in return? Nothing. A puddler gets, say a day. Unskilled laborers in Iron works get a dollar a day.

Our friends on tho othor side say their labor 1b rendered more valuable by protection. How much of that dollar does the laborer get out of protection So far as I can judge thoro is not three per oont. of the working classes that get any Benefit from tho plundor? How muoh do the poor mil! operatiToa get out of protection The Idea that thoy get auythtug out of It is preposterous and absurd. Tho speaker placed iu tho handa of the chair a blank sohedulo which he invited his opponents to fill up, showing how much In figures the working man was benefited by protection. THE OTHER BIDS.

Mr. Green I propose to quote from an arttele written by Mr. Ifowoll for tho Contemporary Review to show the effect of fres trada on labor In Eoglnnd. It shows, In BOino instances, an Increase of wages to tha oxtent of about ten per cent. Iu thirty years.

Among the ohomialiers the average of luoreasa reaohoa about tnenty BCTfln por cent. Against this tho pnoe of meat hoo risen fifty per eont, gonorally, and to tho working classes as high as Boventy fiTO per cent. Other products have lnoreaeod In prloo more thau a hundrod per and house rents haye increased proportionately. Coal has increased In price fifty per and mauy poor people pan only buy It by the hundred weight. The spoiOtf thou read statistics with reference to operations in tho cotton mills of this oountry.

Mr. Kemp The gentleman proves freo trade a failure iu England by taking tho worat period of depres Biou for thirty years. I claim that mostly everything In England is as cheap now as it was then. Grain is cheaper aud luxuri03 in more general use.

In 1810 the people of tho United Kingdom only used sixteen pounds of sugar a head now thoy oonBume 300 per tent, more, while tho population has increased only to tbo extent of fifty per cont. Whoa Huakisson took tbe duty off wool It was thought that ruin would follow, but ltB exportation Increased, as the reBult, from 00,000,000 to 400,000,000.

Thore seenis to bo no doubt but that ex Senator Conkling has notified the Pronident that ho will not accept the position of Ae sooiata Justioo of tho Supreme Court of tho United States. Mr. Conkling had the place absolutely at his disposal, for the nomination had beou duly confirmed by tho Senate.

There are two ways of regarding the conduct of the Eieoutivo in this matter. We are disposed to accept thnt which is most favorable, aua it is that tho President nominated Mr. Conkling for this great offloe without knowing whether ha Would aocept it or not. The conclusion will bo very general that the President was not justified in doing this. Thcro is no lawyer in this country, however eminent, who should ever have an opportunity of rofusing to ncoept a soat on tho bench of our highest court.

It cheapons and tendi to belittlo a position of great trust and of tho highest honor. The President will, doubtless, find little difficulty in nominating a Jurist better equipped for the place than Mr. Conkling but he will be askod to take a place whioh another has declined. If the Presidont desired to rowavd or honor his frieud ho should have satisfied himself that it was within his power to do so, without exposing himself to a suspicion of indirection, and running the riBk of belittling: one of the greatest jDlacos under the Government. Wo presume that any one of a hundred mutual and disoreet friends of tho President and of the ex Senator could have ascertained, within twenty four hours, whether or not a place on tho bench would be acceptable to Mr.

Conkling. The Preoidont's action should have been determined by his answer. In a political sense, tho nomination, aoooni paniod as it is by a declination, Is unfor tunato alike for tho Prosidont and for his party. Sir. Conkling's nomination, hi tho first place, incensed as nothing olso, perhaps, could a large body of Republicans, ft mads plain tho fact that the policy of tho Administration had been radically changed through a orimo which shooked the world.

If anything eould have reconciled Mr. Conkling's opponents to the nomination, his acceptance of the position would have done so, for it would, atallevonts, have taken Mr. Conkling out of the list of their active foes. Aa it is, ha has been made more potential In a warfare which a groat majority of his party regard asmieohiev ous, and in this opinion the judgment of the Republican party iB tho judgment of tho country. Mr.

Conkling saems to regard himself as boing ontitled to exceptional consideration. He is tho spoiled darling of our politics, and spoiled darlings are never favorites outside of the family oirclo. Ho chose to disregard the judgmont of his countrymen, and fly in the face of traditions they held to bo sacred, and he chose to regard his failure as a personal affront he was justified in resenting, and he did resent it promptly by humiliating tho candidate who was the choice of hie party for the Presidency. This humiliation wai shared in by his party, for Mr. Conkling did his best to make it apparent to tho country that he hold tho fortuues of the Republican party in tho hollow of his haud.

Into the merits of the quarrel between President Garfield and Mr. Conkling it is not necessary to ontor, but Mr. Conkling was tho only man who has hold a place in the United States Senate who ever thought of flinging up his position as a Senator in order to humiliate a President of his own party, for no better reason than that tho Executive exercised ono of the plainest of his prerogatives. Ho happened to havo the powor to leavo tho greatest State of tho Union without representation in tho Senate, nd he exercised it, and if he had succeeded in his purposo of obtaining an indorsement, he would have created a power unknown to the Constitution In constituting himself a sort of sectional potenfato, with whoso purposes and wishes tho Presidont of the United States was not to interfere. That all this should have led up to the proffored honor of a place on the bench of the Supremo Court within the term for which Mr.

Garfield was oUr.tad. and throuoh the President's death at the hands of an assassin, is sufficiently aggra vating to Republicans who are not willing to accept Mr. Conkling at his own estimate, but that lie should be left at liborty to decline the place will add fuel to the flame of angry resentment. Mr. Colliding is probably the only man in tho country who would havo ventured to meet the President' offer of a great ofilce with something resembling contemptuous indifference.

If he did not desire the position, ample tiuio was given him before the Senate had acted upon the nomination to say so. Wo presume there is not a man in the United Status who would not have declined tho nomination, under tho circumstances, in ndvanec of tho Senate's action, except Mr. Conkling. If he had done so, it is altogether likely that eomo of Mr. Conkling's opponents would havo said that ho could not have been confirmed.

This assertion might havo annoyed this great man, and so it was necessary that the Senate and the Executive should unite in presenting him with a judgeship as a peace offering, before he felt justified in taking the country into his confidence, by making it known whether or not a place on the bench of tho Supreme Court would be to his liking, and would be a sufficient atonement for the mistake the President who is in his grave made in presuming thnt the State of Now York held preoisely the same relation to the Executive as each and all of the other Commonwealths which comprise the Union, of which Mr. Garfield was tho elected Chief Magistrate. No man in this oountry should ever have boon in a position to refuse a place upon the benoh of the Supremo Court. There may havo been some good reason for making an exception in Mr. Conkling's case, but if it in apparent to the Executive it is not to tho vast majority of his countrymen.

Tito Aldermen. The Mayor sent to the Aldermen yesterday a veto of their resolution to award oertain contracts to John Harrison for supplies required in the Truant Home. His honor limits his objection to tho ainglo statement that Harrison was not the lowest bidder. The fact, however, is that the bid bore upon its face evidence of indirection. The aggregate of Harrison's charges was lower than his competitors, but, by the old system of balanoing articles not likely to ba called for against others sure to be largely needed, a result was worked out which would leave the city in the lurch.

For instance, if the city should call for 100 pounds of green tea and an equal quantity of black, no man not on confidential terms with tho politicians could offer terms so apparently good aa ono who had what is called the inside track, for tho latter would with porfoot confi deueo bo enabled to promise to deliver one of tho kinds of tea at a merely nominal price, knowing that it would not be oalled for, while charging a good round figure for the other, which akmo should be used. It was under this system that the public were, of old, defrauded by the Charities Commissioners. That our Aldermen nhow a disposition to revive it on a small seuie is but another illustration of tLs dinunlty of teaching old dogs new tricks. Commissioner Ropes transmitted to tho board a report made to him by Engineer Van Bureu on tho proposed extension of the sewer which discharges into Newtown Creek, at the foot of Johnson avenue. That the discharge into the creek makes an intolerable stench and injures the health of the pcoplo in tho vicinity is admitted.

The question is not whether thore shall bo a change, but what the changa 6hall bo.

It was the 6ame apparent inability to distinguish right from wrong, or appreciate tho enormitioB that habitual self Indulgence rendered necessary, that soiled the ermine of his more illustrious prototype, and this very1 moral weakness ended the life of brilliant, iu many respocts amiable, Edwin James, in poverty hardly removed from squalor. Wfr. Boocbcr'a sudden Illneas. Few men oocupy before the world so conspicuous a poaition that the news of their sudden illness oasts a shadow of anxiety throughout the world. Mr.

Beecher, as the foremost preacher of the United StateB, if not of the civilized world, is so situated that the dispatch sent from Chicago announcing his indisposition on the platform of the Central Music Hall of that city has been scanned, doubtless, by millions, and with a sigh of relief that it was no worse. Ho was in the mid dlo of an address, speaking with his usual fluency, when it was noticed that tho ruddy. oolor, which speaks of a wholesomo nervous vigor and a hearty circulation, rapidly faded from his choek his face was hard set, as though he was combating some most distrossin Bymptom, and his silence and appearanco of age wero interpreted by the audience before him though not understood by his distinguished associates on tho platform who could not see his face. A more severe test of moral courage could scarcely have been thought of, and it is worthy of passing notice that the quality which men prise so highly in every sphere of life, from the prize ring upward to the savan's library, seldom had a more vivid or more publio illustration in modern times. Happily it was found that the attack, whatever it was due to, speedily passed off.

Howevor, light as it was, it should consti tuta to Mr. Beeoher Nature's speoifio warning to keep his labors hereafter strictly within the limit of his physical capaoity and refrain from oxoossiva labor. It is doubtful whether the present generation has known a man of more remarkable mental activity than Henry Ward Boecher, a fact that shows itself in his marvelous versatility, tho freshness and originality of his observations and criticisms of men and tilings in tho co ordiuacioii of various thoughts upou almost every conceivable mat tor in his epigrams and instantly formed phrases. Up to a certain age the intellectual activity in a normal person keops pace with the physical but there must come a time when the bodily resiliency lessens, even though tho riches stored in the mind aro constantly accumulating. It is a peculiar quality of Mr.

Boecher's mind that it seems to grow more and more vigor ouu with each sucooodiug year. It must not be understood that he does not carefully conserve his bodily strength, but it is ono of the characteristics of genius to preserve all tho intelleotual and moral freshness of youth. Ono of tho neat desoriptive phrases he once gave utterance to was that one could always toll where he was over night by looking at the dailv papers in the morning, and it is in a nutshell a summary of his biiHv. mnnv sided life. His mental orasp 18 amazing, sometimes, even to those know him best.

An inoident illustrative of this peculiarity will bo remembered by those who attended the giant meeting at the Academy of Music when Mr. ramell first spoke. Mr. Boech er's presence on tho platform was generally regarded as oomplimontary rather than participatory. He listened with others to what Mr.

Parnell said, and then, when his opportunity arrived, poured out such a torrent of unexpected observation as to astonish all who heard him. His knowledge of the subject one of the last he would have been suspected of devoting himself to was encyclopedic in its volume, and indicated the most original, persistent and profound research. Indeod, there seems to be no topic of the day which does not en liat his attention and provoko his thorough study uutil it is mastered. At the same time ho is occupied with his pastoral duties he is editing newspapers, writing lectures, journeying through the country delivering them night after night, meeting and conversing with thousands, and performing the work of half a dozen ordinary men. At his age most business men have retired from active work, and either pass their timo in rest or act as counselors to their juniors.

Mr. Beeoher is prob ably doing moro work now than he did thirty years ago. It is evident, however, that one branch of his labors must bo modified. His lecture tours need not bo abandoned altogether, but they ought to be remodeled in such a way that ho should not bo compelled to endure tho physical wear and tear thataotors in tho prime of life shrink from. Every night, for a spell of two weeks at a time ho is hurrying from one town or city to another, making long railroad journeys and suffering the fatiguo that accompanies this constant change, and taking the chances of cold and nervous exhaustion that such a prac tice must involve.

This must be discon tinued. The tours may bo protracted, but he must be spared tha condensation of his activities into such brief spaces of time, in order that ho may rest sufficiently. Horace Greeley's campaign was a. sufhcient warning against over work, and Mr. Beeoher is too much in earnest and to sagaoious to waste his energies by neglect of his physioal health, The Eague has arrancod to lay before its readers the latest intelligence of his condition.

which will be found in its news columns. It is consolatory to know thtfi last night's attack was not apoplectic as at first feared. Mr. Conkling's declination of the Supremo Court judgeship is likely to bo followed by the nomination of either Senator Edmunds or Judge Blatchford. It is believed that the President from the very Cr6t was disposed to appoint tho latter eminent jurist, and certain it is that his selection would bo as universally nonular aa was that of Mr.

Justioe Gray, of Massachusetts. The Rev. Mr. Havorman, pastor of St, Marv's fltoinan Catholio) Church. Troy, is not willing to give an opinion as to the ap parition of the Virgin Mary aud Child at the Jones residonoe, that city, but alleges that he himself once saw a miraoulous cross wav ing over a ohurch at Poitiers, France, where he was a student.

Wonderful as such a speo tacle must have been, it was uot stranger than tho visions whioh Yale students often have in New Haven between Saturday night and Sun. day morning. Ulvsses S. Grant has sold his cottage at Elberou to Mrs. Ulysses S.

Grant for tho sum of 10,000. "When a man embarks in extensive soeeulntive enterprises he ventures upon such an ocean of uncertainties that com mon prudonco would dictato tho wisdom of providing against the contingency of financial shipwreck. If the worst should come to tho worst a cottage by the sea and 12,500 a year as a retired general would be a comfortable refuge from the storms of misfortune. At the meeting yestorday between the Com mittee of the Produce Exchange and tho Ad visory Commission appointed by the trunk lines for the adjustment of transportation rates between the west aud the seaboard, very little was elicited that could bo of any practi oal value to the commission. The gentlemen of the committee knew what they wanted, but they oould not suggest any feasible methooj of getting it.

Judge Thurman repeatedly asked what remedy they proposed, and the most he could obtain from them was that the railroad companies Bhould take up the question and detennino it for themselves. This is just what the companies have never been able to do, and if tho commission has tho same luck else whero iu its search for practical suggestions, it will be forced either to abandon its object or evolve a remedv from its own inner con cciousaess. of crystallized saccharine matter is, or was, supposed to be highest in the lightest colors. The Custom House pooplo, however, having found that this law was being evaded by tho artificial darkening of sugars after they had been refilled in foreign ports, which darken ing could bo undone at a comparatively small cost after the commodity had been received here, resolved to substitute for the oolor test a different one by tho polariscopo, an instru ment which would show tho sacobariuo strength of tho article without referonoo to its color. To this, Secretary Shorman not only gave his oonsent, but soon began to perform as tha practical partisan of tho polorlscope.

The application of the Instrument soon showed that our great refiners had been taking advantage of tho artificial oolorlng in their importation of raw materials, and in due time many of tham wero proceeded against in tha United States Distriot Court of Now York, where verdicts for largo sums wero obtained against them. But Mr. Sherman and his subordinates made one oversight. They omit ted to inquiro very closely whether under the law they had any right to institute any new test. Their zeal cannot, of course, be too much admired, but thoir failure to remember that Congress, and not they, has tho power to prescribe the only tests, must be lamented if not rebuked.

What has come of this confusion of thoir own funotiona with those of CongrosB appears by a decision rendered by tho United States Supreme Court, in tho case of Samuel Walsh, one of the sugar against whom tho Treasury Depart ment took prooeedings. Tho writer of tho opinion of the court is Justice Bradley, and he states tho point so terBoly that little need bo added to it It will bo porcelrod that tho real question in this caae is whother the dutiable quality of sugars is to ba de oidod l.j their actual color, graded by the Dutch standard, or by thoir saccjarlno ptratigtk as aHcertalned by chemical tests. Tho defendant lu orror' maintains tha former the plaintiff In orroi tho latter. The tost pre scnbM by tho statute la the Dutch standard of color. If Congress desired tho application of the ehoiulca! tost, why did not CnugreBS say so? Color was tho standard whioh Conyross, with tho light which it had, saw fit to adopt.

If it be found by experience that that standard a fallacious one, cau tho exeoutlvo department supply tho defaots of legislation? Congress alono liaB authority to ltvy duties. Its will alone Is to bo aought, It appears very olear from tho evidence that the Dutch standard Is a color standard only. As applied to the sugars of the Island of Java brought to tbe mother oountry, it waa undoubtedly a very fair standard of I quality of sugar. With now procossOB of manufacture, however, and With tho proem porfectlou of tho refining prooess, color has bocoino a matter of llttlo consequouco, provldod tho sujjars contain abundance of Hacoharlno matter. The color standard has como to bo a very procarious one.

if the Government choosce to adhere to It, it la bound by it. If Congress, as it has done, adopt tho color standard, it is not for the CUL tocu Department to adept a difftireDt one, When Ongrem chooses to do this, it will ba titao onough Tor tho custom House to follow. Groat strenn ts laid on the charo that sugars aro manufactured iu dark colors on purpose to evade our duties? Huppose lhm 18 true; hn not a manufacturer a right to make hla goods as he pleases? If they are leaa marketable it bio loss. If they are not marketable who hue a right to complain If the duties aro affected thoro Is a plain remedy. Congress can always adopt such laws and regulation as it may deem expedient for protecting tho interests of tho Govornmont.

It iB urgucd that the iutout of tho law was to prescribe a quality Btondard. ThiB reasoning would bo very good if tho law proscribing tho standard wero not ox plicit in its terms. If tho words used aro clear wo noed go no further and in this oaso they aro clear. Two tests for Tiling the dutiable grudo of sugars wore open to tho logiHlatiye choice that of color and that of constitution or eiioruical quality. Congress chose tho former, and In making ite elcotiou It did not leave any room for iloubt as to its meaning.

If the teat adoptod fails to crToot the desired objoet, tho I neon vonlenco or loss to tho Treasury need bo only temporary. It can be changed at any moment, and it ia better to submit to a temporary liic uiveuience than to the laws afloat by laying domi a cuuon of cons trnction which loavrH tbe plain words, and seeks to spell out or guess at the supposed intent of tho loglilaturu contrary or onpplementary to that which is clearly embodied in the words it has used. If experience shows that (mgroBH acieu unner a mistaken ImpreuHioii, that does not authorize the Treasury Depsriincui or the courts to taku the part of legislativo guardians and by construction to make now laws which they imagine Congress would havo mado had it been properly informed, but which Conxrtss Itself, ou being DiMp rir Informed, has not, as yet, seen fit to make, "it may "bn that our turifl' of duties is invaded by super inducing upou sugar iu the process of ninnufncturo a lrnv tfraue or tun ou 6o, it i muiv imu everv manufacturer does namely, so to manufacture his gooda us to avoid the burden of high duties, providing he cau do it without Injuring their marketability or Injuring them loss than tha dulies Involved. Ho long as no deception is practiced, no long as tho goods are iruly invoiced and fr.uly and honestly exposed to the officers nf Customs for their examination, no fraud is committed and no ponalty is incurred. All that has to bo dono in to change the law so as to reach tho goods in their new form, if it is thought desirablo to do so.

This is the end of tho sugar frauds of which we heard so much. Not fraud on tho part of the refiners or importers, but stupidity on tho part of Congress ami ignorant zeal in the Custom House made the trouble. Cilivlii Career. Iu tho sudden death of Edwin James, the famous English lawyer, the bar of this coun try will find ample material for reminiscence and anecdote, for tho strange intellectual metoor that is now quenched for all time startled and dazzled tho wise men of Western jurisprudence as it had those of England. He was ono of the most brilliaut orators of his day, one of the most accomplished and famous lawyers of tho century.

His pleadings once dissolved an English ministry, and it is bolievod that if ho possessed soino of the somber virtues that are to bo found in greatest abuudanoo in plain and obscure men, he might have boon Lord Chancellor of England, and held a place made immortal by Lord Bacon's occupancy. Of course, nobody thinks of comparing Edwin James on equal terms with tho "wisest, noblest, meanest of mankind," but they, had something in common more than a mere fitness to dispenso tho highest judicial functions of England. Something of the same extraordinary moral deficiency that characterized Bacon wero noticeable in Edwin James, and by these may be explained tho fact that ho died in povorty and obscurity not far from tho scene of his most splendid intellectual triumphs. His defense of Orsini's friend, Dr. Burnard, charged with complicity in the attempt to assassinate Louis Napoleon, gave him a world wide reputation, and opened to him a prospect which, had he been reasonably honest, or even gifted with that bolauco of faculties that tho world calls common sense, ho could scarcely havo failed to turn to the most brilliant account.

As it was, ho took to the turf, got into financial difficulties and endeavored to restore his fortunes by practices of such a dishonorable character that he fled to where he committed bigamy. His exilo can him to bo disbarred, he forfeited his seat iu Parliament, and soon after came with his second wifo to New York. His legal contest for admission to tho bar of this State will long be remembered. His record was severely criticized, but Iiis application was eventually granted. Ilo did not distinguish himself to any great extent, though some of our own lawyers will distinctly remember tho verbal encounter they had with him indeed, it is possible that had he continued to practice with the assiduity of his earlier career, he might have won a most eminent position.

But mere change of son and climate had not changed his nature or supplied the want of moral perception that had been his bane. His second wife obtained a divorce from him, and his passion for matrimony led him into a third alliance. Fresh financial complications and moro dubious methods of "readjustment" involved him with his clients and made his legal brethren look askant at him. His sooial status was peculiar, and he seemed to have lost his vim. One day ho was mising, and it was subsequently discovered that ho hnd left tho United States as metcorically as ho had come.

On arriving in England he applied for restoration to the bar, kf every df scrlutton. at the FACILE JOB PRINTING new itiwa cwa0(8 tt ont sa.
