In a bill of equity filled to-day in the United | States Circuit Court it is alleged that Blair while superintendent, prior to his dismissal some months ago by former Commissioner Homer Folks, secured the transfer of cash and property amounting to about $25,000 from Rob- ert Walmsley, an aged and mentally ir- responsible man, to him, with an un- derstanding that Blair should provide for Walmsley for the remainder of his life. The bill further alleges that Blair, on getting this amount, failed to live up to the stipulation and that Walms- ley, who was formerly a merchAnt of San Francisco, is now a pauper in Cin- cinnati, having been sent there by Blair. Blair was dismissed by former Com- missioner Folks, but the Court of Ap- peals decided that inasmuch as he was e veteran the dismissal was illegal. He took office again under thg McClellan administration.

The latest revolution in Colombia had ny farcical features. *One of the fun- | iest of these was the incident of the eral who would not fight withoat his milk.. General Perez was in com- mand of the Government troaps at Caii. One day news arrived that the Liberals had captured a neighboring town. Perez was ordered to start with his army at ock next morning to attack them. He went to the barracks, made a patri- otic speech to the soldiers and told them to parade at the appointed hour. Then he sauntered into the Hotel America, Cali's finest restaurant coffee for 6:30 in The troops were lined up at that hour outside the hot and the general utted to and fro, waiting for his e things he was going to do to the . But a complication arose. Perez had not been a general long, but he wanted milk in his coffee, weheras nine Colombians out of ten are content with black coffee. There was no milk. The cows are kept three or four hours’ journey out of town, and, of course, milk canfiot be kept over night in that tropical climate. The ho- ! tel folk figured that the milk could not arrive before 11 o’clock. The general fumed and fretted. Some of his officers suggested that he had better start without the milk or the enemy would escape, but he said it was impossible to fight on black coffee. He | sent a soldier post haste to fetch the milk and then another after him to hurry him up. Meanwhile the army stood in the broling sun for hours, awaiting the order to march. It w. nearly noon when the messengers re- | returned. ) No milk,” they reported. ‘L‘aramha Then I won't march till | ] to-morrow.” An the general dismissed his men and would not go until next morning | after his cafe au lit. Of course, when he reached his destination the liberals had flown and he was deprived of his glo- | rious victory by a miserable spoonful of milk.—Chicago Inter Ocean. —_—l .

But | though they professed to be acquaint- | ed with its majestic theory, they were | rather familiar with its minute tech- | nicalities. What can be grander or | | nobler than jurisprudence? or what can be more insignificant or quibbling that the practice of lawyers?—nec- | essary as it is for the people. Not | that I think that those who adopt this profession are altogether ignorant of | the principles of universal legislation; | but they are far more attentive to civ- | il law, which gives them a hold on the interest of people. Are then the sub- lime and recondite principles of ju- risprudence less necessary or less'use- ful? Certainly not. * You ask me not to write treatises on the rights of common sewers and partition walls | (stillicidiorum ac parietum), and to | compose forms of stipulations and judgmeénts. These have been aiready | most diligently prepared by clerks in office, and are decidedly lower than the topics which you expect me to discuss.” This is an eloquent expose of the dis- tinction between law as a science and law os a practice. It would appear to many observers after a visit to our | courts of to-day that our jurists are spending more time over the practice than the science of law, and hence that much of the moral gracdeur and intel- lectual harmony of the latter is lost. Should we not be careful not to degrade the practice of law into a “mere art of casuistry and chicanery,” which our la- yers elaborate, as Blackstone says, “With a skill the most amaziagly arti- ficial, but which serves no other pur- rose than to show the vast powers of the . uman intellect, however vainly or preposterously employed ?"—Brooklyn Eag'e.
