WWW—— In Search of the Tide. Mr. Perkins laid down the newspaper and briskly stirred the fire, as he casu- ally remarked: “There was agreat tide last night; the highest water known here for years. I suppose the full moon and the strong east wind we have had for the last week account for it." “How high was it, father i’" asked Charlie, as he buttered the fifth piece of toast. Charlie was fourteen, and the other Perkins children looked up to him as the head of the family. “Sixteen feet, " answered Mr. Perkins. Harry, who was not quite seven, and who was always trying to find out things ._ for himself, looked thoughtfully out of the window. The cottage stood a stone’s throw from the water, and Harry could look through the open channel between the islands out to the wide sea that was tossing restlessly in the distance. "Father,” he asked, “ where does the tide come from?” . Mr. Perkins sipped his ten before he carelessly replied: “Oh, from a long way out at sea." . " But where does it start from ?" still persisted Harry. ‘ “ I don't think it starts from any par- ticular place," said Mr. Perkins. ”I shcull say the surface waters 11m in. frdm all over the sea. " , “But it must start somewhere,” said Harry. Mr. Perkins had not studied up the subject of tides, and feeling that his answers had been rather vague, did not try to say anything more. When supper was over, the family went out on the piazza which stretched across the front of the house. Mr. Per- kins lighted a cigar, Mrs. Perkins brought out some pretty worsted thing she was knitting. Charlie walked down to the beach and began skipping stones across the water, and Harry sat down on a large rock and watched the tide running up and down on the bench. The sun had gone down, and left a few rosy clouds trailing after him, the mountains were growing dim in the dis- tance, and among the islands of the bay the water lay quiet and dark. It ran up the beach as if it meant to travel far inland, and then something stopped it and drew it back with a long wash that sounded as if all the wet stones over which it ran were slipping back 'with it. Harry had often watched this advance and retreat of the tide, but it had never seemed so curious to him as now. "What sends it up the beach, and why does it go back instead of going on ?" were questions he was trying to answer. The long, low wash of water along the line of shore as far as Harry could see grew more and more mysterious to him , as it became darker, and the sights began to change into sounds. The great sea beyond the island seemed to be sending its waves in, and then sud- denly stopping them, and the murmur oft-he waters seemed to be the many vOices of the sea calling its waves back again. . At last Mr. Perkins took out his watch and looked atfiiit by the light of his cigar. . . ‘ “Why," he exclaimed, “it’s later than I thought; it’s after nine." Mrs. Perkins called- to. Harry, who very unwillingly left the shore and went. to his room. When he had undressed and blown out the candle he opened the blinds and looked out. The moon had just risen and was sending a silvery light over the sea, and the trees on the islands stood out dark and motionless. Up to the window, in the stillness of the night, came the murmur and splash of the rippling tide, almost . at its flood. ‘ f‘Where does it start from ?" Harry to himself as he fell asleep. It might have been two hours—it was probably more—when Harry suddenly awoke. The moon was shining into the room, and the cool plush of the sea on the bench came in at the window. “Where does it come from?” said Harry to himself again. . Then, quick as a flash, the thought came to him .to go and see. Why not? The sea was only a little way off, the night was almost as light acidity, and at the little dock below the cottage Charlie's boat “ Sallie " was tied. He slipped out of bed and ran to the window; the tide was falling. and this would be the best time to go out and find where it came from. In five minutes Harry was dressed, and taking his shoes in his hands, he crept softly down stairs, opened the door into the piazza, and shut it again so quietly that no one heardasound. Once on the ground, he sat down and put on his shoes, then ran swiftly down to the dock where the “Sallie ” was dancing on the water, slipped the rope off the iron rod, and jumped intothc boat. . ., , Harry had spent no end of time in the boat, and knew more about sailing than. many older boys. The tide was falling fast, and the water along the shore was rough. The “Sallie" danced up and down, and before Harry could get an oar he was thrown over a seat into the bottom of the boat, which drifted rapidly out into the buy. It was a still night and alight mist had spread over the sky, making the stars dim and faint. The islands looked strange and vague to Harry, and the sea was white and weird. Things did not look at allus- they did by daylight; everything was queer and ghostly. Not a sound came fromthe cottages scattered along the shore as the boat drifted away from them; not a light was burning in a win: dow anywhere; the whole world had gone to sleep except the sea, and a strange dream had come over that. . Men thetide falls as far as it did in this buy it makes a good deal of com- motion, and there are swift currents between the islands. In one of them the “Sallie " was caught, and swiftly carried seaward ’ Soon cottages and islands lay behind, growing dimer and dimmer every minute, and the sea was close at hand. The water alone the said beach was white and foaming, and around the rocky head at the entrance of the buy the sea rushed and roared mightily. . Harry was not at all frightened; he loved the water, and had not so much as thought that he might have trouble in getting home again. The tide was run- ning swiftly out, and if he followed it he wOuld surely find where it came from. On and on, out into the strange, lonely sea, the little boat drifted; once in a while the'moon would look out for a moment between the clouds, but most of the time she was hidden by them. Sometimes the foam on the crests of the waves would flash in sudden points or lines of fire; sometimesa quick gleam would show itself at a distance, and Harry would wonder if it were not the fin of some great fish'cutting the sur- face of the sea. ‘ He had left the silver watch which his father had given him on his last birthday, hanging on the head of his bed, and so he could not tell what time it was; but he noticed after a while that the stars began to grow pale, and the heavens a little less dark. A fresh breeze had sprung up, and went sing- ing over the sea; fortunately it wasa light wind, and did no harm beyond making Harry 9. little chilly. , The boat drifted wherever the waters carried it, and they carried it straight out to sea. When the sun rose, and the morning mists had rolled themselves out of . sight, Harry saw far behind him the island from which he had sailed, its mountains standing out green and solemn against the sky; far ahead were the barren rocks from which at night a lighthouse sent its solitary beam over the sea. Breakfast time come, but no break- fast, and no sign of any. The sun marched steadily up the steep circle of the sky, and found it such a hard climb that he not only got very warm himself, but put everybodyelsc intoaprofusc perspiration. On Harry be fairly poured his heat until the poor little . fellow’s head buzzed and ached, and he began to 'wish himself safe at home, tide or no tide. Dinner time come, but 'no dinner; and finally, after a long hot afternoon, tea time, but no tea. The boat had floated further and further, but Harry had not found where the tide started from; the further he went the wider the sea spread out, and there was no sign of a beginning ' or an end anywhere. . Harry began to think he had passed the place where the tide started; certainly, if it got out as far as this, it would lose itself and never get anywhere. . The sun, tired with his long day's work, went down hot and red; by and by, one by one, the stars began to steal out from the places where they had hid- den away from him. Harry, tired, hungry and a little frightened, had. fallen asleep in the bottom of the boat, and was dreaming of sitting down to a nice dinner, when the moon came up and found him lying there, for out to sea, when he ought to have "been in his bed at home. . . I CHAPTER II. Capt; Peleg Waters was coming home with a goodly load of fresh mackerel; wind and tide being favorable, he ex- pected to make Rockland sometime the next afternoon. Capt. Peleg was rather a rough looking old fellow, but he had the kindest heart in the world. At the time he sailed into this story he was taking his turn at the tiller, and was enjoying about equally the beautiful moonlit night and the short pipe from . which he blew occasional pufi‘s of tobacco smoke. " This is the purtiest night we've bed this trip.” he said'to himself, as he looked up at the full moon sailing serenely through the clouds, and at the silvery sea whispering to itself as if in a dream. Just then something ahead the captain’s eye. , “Wa‘al, I declare," he exclaimed caught ' aloud, “if there ain’t a boat! What's she doing twenty miles out to sea ?” In ten minutes Capt. Peleg had brought the schooner alongside the little boat, and was looking down at the small boy still fast asleep. ’ ‘fWa’al, I vow," said the captain, “ if that ain’t the littléSt crew and the sleepiest that I ever see afioa ” Capt: Peleg whistled to himself, as he always did when puzzled; then he leaned over, and called out softly,— “Ahoy, there!" Harry opened his eyes wide, and jumped up in a second. "Hc was a bright, honest boy, and “the captain knew- it the minute he laid eyes on him. “Where you from ?” he asked, as gently as he could, for a voice that gets used to bawling in the teeth of all sorts of winds, ign’t very soft. “Bar Harbor," answered Harry, promptly. Capt. Peleg’s eyes twinkled. This was the queerest craft he had ever fallen in with on the sea. , “ Where you bound ?” he continued. “ I-want to find where the tide comes from, sir, " was ‘the quick reply. Capt. Peleg whistled long and loud. “What you got in yer locker ?" he said, locking quizzically at the boy. “ Nothing," said Harry, dolefully, for he knew this was the weak point of the voyage. " . i- “ How long. you been out i’" ' Harry hesitated a moment, for.he was rather confused by the absence of dinners, teas and clocks; finally he said be had been out 'a day and night. . “Anything to eat ?” asked Capt. Peleg. , ‘ “Nothing,” answered Harry, mourn- fnlly, for he was becoming very weak, and there was a strange feelingin his stomach. The captain whistled again. . “Hi, there, Jim!" he called out, in a very loud yoice. - ~ ' In a minute Jim came stumbling up from the little cabin, looking very frouzy and sleepy. “ Just you take this tiller,” said Capt; Peleg. Jim took the tiller. “Now," * said the captain to Harry, "throw me that rope. " Harry threw the rope, and the captain made the little boat fast to‘the big one. Then he held out his hand, and with one vigorous pull the boy was on the schooner and the little boat was floating behind. Meanwhile the captain disappeared, When he came bapk he handed Harry some big slices of well-buttered bread. “ Just stow that away in your hold,” he said to Harry. ' The boy needed no second invitation, and the bread speedily disappeared. . “ Now, you turn in, and in the morn- ing we’ll take our bearings, " said Capt. Peleg, as v‘thellast piece of bread went out of sight. ' ' Harry was thereupon slipped into the captain's bunk and within a few minutes he was fast asleep. When he awoke it was after ten the next morning. He found Capt. 299193 on deck, with his short pipe in his mouth. . . V'llhere was a fresh breeze blowing, and ”the schooner was dashing along, sending.“ little showers of spray right and left from her prow. - “Mornin’. Hope, you slept well ?" said Capt. Peleg, when 119 spied Harry. Harry thought he had never slept better. . “Well, I've followed the sea going on forty-five years, "and my advice is, give up this are voyage of yours and put for home," said the captain. His, eyes twinkled, but his face was perfect: 1y sober. “I'll take you into Rockland. then you can telegraph to your friends. " Harry thought this was the wisest plan, and was quite willing to give up the matter of the tides if he could only get home. About three o'clock in the afternoon the schooner came up to the dock, and Capt. Peleg went straight to the tele- graph ofiice, and sent this dispatch:— Rooxmnn. Au . 3a. 18% Gnonen Pnaxms, Bar , Desert. Me. arbor, Mt .Boy Harry and small boat "Sallie" picked up at sea. Send directions. » c Warns. This little sheet of paper which bore ‘ this good news filled the Perkins family with joy. They had found the little boat gone, bad guessed what had :hap- pencd, and had telegraphed in every direction without getting any news of the lost boy. Mr. Perkins ran down to the office and sent this message in . reply :— BAR Hanson, Au . 8d, 1884. Pme Wsmas, RocklandF e. Heartfelt thanks. Send boy and boat by steamer to-morrow. Gnoncx Pxnxms. The next day the steamer came along ' the dock ct Bar Harbor, and Harry ran off the gang plank among the first, and was kissed had hugged and cried over to his heart's content. Charles got‘ into the “Sallie" and rowed home, but Harry had had enough of boats for the present, and preferred to walk. About a week later Capt. Waters was surprised by the arrival of a small and very nicely tied package. He opened it cautiously and discovered a very substantial watch, with the graceful ro- gnrds of Mr. George Perkins and funiily. Harry has not yet found out where the tide starts from. QUEER. TRADES. There are men in Paris,birds of a feather, with the chiffonier, who go from hospital to hospital collecting the linseed plasters that have served the turn of doctor and patient; afterward pressing the oil from the linseed, and disposing of the linen, after bleaching it, to the paper-maker. Others make a couple of francs a day by collecting old corks, which being cleaned and pared, fetch, it is said, half a franc per hundred. A lady resident of the Faubourg St. Ger- main is credited with earning a good income by hatching red, black and brown ants for pheasant preservers. One Parisian gets his living by breeding maggots out of the foul meat he buys of the chiffoniers and fasten- ing them up in tin boxes. Another breeds maggots for the special behoof of nightin- gales; and a third “ marchand d’astibots ” boasts of selling between thirty and forty millions of worms every season for piscato. rial purposes. He owns a great pit at Mont. martrc, wherein he keeps his store. Every day his scouts bring him fresh stock, for which he pays'them from five to ten pence per pound, according to quality; reselling them to anglers at just double these rates, and clearing thereby something over three hundred pounds a year. No wonder he professes great fondness for his “ children,” as he calls them; although, like other fond fathers, he is ready enough to part with them when opportunity offers. This curious evocation is not unknown in England. Some tvtelve years ago Mr. Wells, a fishing-tackle maker of Nottingham, in order to insure a constant supply of bait for his customers, started a form for the rearing of lobworms cockspurs, ring-tailed brand- lings and other worms in demand among the disciples of'Walton, who abound in the old lace town. To keep his farm stocked, men and boys go out at night collecting worms in the meadows and pastures; a moist, warm night yielding from two to six thou- sand worms. ‘As soon as they are brought in they are placed in properly selected moss, field moss for choice, to scour until they be- come little more than skin—freshly caught worms being too tender for the anglers to handle; while “ when a worm is properly educated, he is as tough as a bit of indie.- mbber, and behaves as a worm should do when put upon the hook.” When this con— dition is attained, the worms are packed in moss, and'put up in light canvas bags for the market. This worm merchant does not entirely depend upon the industry of his collectors, but breeds large quantities him- self, in his own garden,the component parts of his breeding heap being a secret he not unnaturally keeps to himself. -—o--.-o.—oo—-—» NEW YORK ELEVATED‘ RAILROADS In passing by the windows of houses, many fleeting glimpses are caught of the inmates within—each glance a sketch of their lives. Says an observ- ing conductor: “The most interesting scenes, of course, are among the houses ~where the poor people live. It is won- derful what difference there is in them. In some I can see a fire burning cheer- - fully, the beds all neat and clean, chil- dren clean and contented looking out of thewindows, a clean tablecloth on the table where the humble family supper is spread. When I see all that, I know at once that some good woman is bless- ing a poor man’s life. Perhaps in the same block I'll see a picture entirely the reverse of this—roomsdirty, beds untidy, children unwashed, and often the sound of strife between husband and wife mak- ing itself heard above the din of the . train. Then I think, God help the chil- " firm in such a home! One gets to feel quite an acquaintance with certain homes and certain faces. At one hum- ble attic window I used often to see the face of a sweet little girl. There were a few pots of flowers on the window sill. and the little girl used to tend them carefully and they flourished finely. But after awhile I missed the little face and I noticed the flowers were fading, fading, day by day. At last one day— the flowers were all dead and withered then—as the train flashed byIsaw a little cofiin being carried out of the door and into the street, and Iknew that my little girl was dead. The empty flowerpots still stand on that window sill, and it always makes me feel sad to see them. ” THE PROBLEIVI 0F SUICIDE. Two young Englishmen were going ashore in a boat from a merchant vessel in 3. Chi- nese port. One of the two had leveled his revolver, for amusement, at some object or. ' the beach, when, just as he pulled the trig. gar, the other leaned across and received the whole charge in his head. As soon as the poor fellow saw that he had killedhis friend ‘ he put the pistol to his own brow and fell dead by his side. Was he right, or splcn. didly wrong? This happened A. D. 1880, and about the year 520 B. C. Admstus, the son of Georgina, the son of Midas, having first killed his own brother by accident at home, and then, with a javelin aimed ai a wild boar, the favorite son of his kind patron Croesus, who warned by a dream, had placed his darling under his special charge, waited till there was silence and soil. tude after that mast lamentable funeral, and “ knowing within himself that of all men he ever heard of he was the most burdened with calamities, slew himself upon the torn .”——The University Magazine. A LAKE OF FIRE. The author of “In Sunny Lands” thus describes a singular lake on the island of New Providence, near the city of Nassau: We went down the front steps, pick- ing up a lighted lantern on the way, went through the flower-garden over a walk paved with blue and white tiles, and carefully made our way over to the boat-house, about fifty yards away. It was one of the darkest nights I ever saw, and without the lantern we must certainly have broken our necks. We went into the boat-house, a large stone building, and pushed out a heavy row- bout. Leaving the lantern behind wo stepped'into the boat; I took the cars and we pulled ofi‘. The first stroke _gnve me afine start. There had not ‘ been any unusual appearance of phos- phorescence on the surface of the water, more than is often seen on trdpical seas. But as soon as the cars stirred it up, they seemed to be dipped in melted gold. There was actually fire there, I was compelled to think. While I was wondering at it a fish startled by our splatter, darted across the pond near the surface, and in its trail was left a streak of yellow fire. Then we saw at difi'erent places on the surface little vapory clouds of fire flashing and dart- ing about like the northern lights. “If you have a newspaper in your pocket," said Mr. Darling, “lay it on your lap and splash the water with both cars. to see whether you can get light enough to read by. " I did so and was able to read the heading and all the large lines without difiiculty. I took on car then and splashed the water, and wherever it drop fell back into the lake was a round spot of fire. I began to feel a little solemn. There was something startling in seeing so much fire floating about. And I had not the faintest notion where we were. I had gone out upon an un- known lake in total darkness, and had no idea how large nor how deep it was, nor where the current, if there. was any, would carry us. The lights of the 'house were visible, but that was the only landmark. “If you pull hard and watch the bow and stern of the boat," said Mr. Darl- ing, “you will see something curious. " I did so, and was well paid for the exertion. When a boat moves fast there is always a cutting of the water at the bow, and a little eddy left just behind the stern. That cutwater and that eddy were of flaming fire. More fish darted about, leaving fiery trails. ' Indeed, wherever the water was agitated it turned apparently into fire. When the agitation ceased the fire disappeared, except that there was always a little sparkling upon the surface. We splashed, rowed and watched. One of the most curious efi‘ects was to throw something from the boat to a distant‘ part of the lake and watch the fire splash. A fountain put in the centre of the lake would be a fountain of fire. We measured the depth with an our and found it to be four or fiveifect. The lake is nearly one thousand feet long and from two hundred to three hundred feet broad. As we fibated around on its surface of ebony and fire, Mr. Darling told me its history. It is an artificial lake, Mr. Williams, the former proprietor of Waterloo, having built it to store green turtles in—from which I conclude that Mr. Williams thought as much of a good dinner as he did of a. fine house. The plan was to buy the turtles alive and put them in the lake and let them increase in size and numbers, when they would always be ready to be caught and eaten. Millions of fish could be kept in the lake at the same time, and thus the occupant of Water- loo would always have a good dinner waiting in the yard. The lake’s bed is cut out of the solid rock, and is only a few hundred feet from the ocean. It isconnected with the sea by a small canal, also cut through the rock; and when the gate in this canal is left open, the tide rises and falls in the lake. It is mentioned of a curious circumstance that the water in the lake can be changed as often as desired without destroying .its phosphorescence. Vari- ous analyses of the water have been made, but without any great results. W SWINDLERS AS BIBLE DISTRIBUTORS The ubiquitous swindler has evolved a new. plan by which to swindle the honest farmer. A chap in clerical broad- cloth and white choker enters afar-m- house and asks for lodging or dinner, as the case may be. During his stay he announces himself to be a traveling Bible distributor in the service of a re- ligious institution. and he generally goes so far as to present to the family a hand- some Bible from a well-filled valise. He is careful to say that his society re- quires its distributing members to pay their own way, and exhibits vouchers thereof. After partaking of the good folks’ hospitality "he prepares to leave, and asks for his bill. He isgencrally told no charge is made, but he calls attention to “the rules," and insists on paying twenty-five cents per meal. Then he mildly requires a receipt on his blank form, “ a voucher, you know,” and gets the farmer to sign it. In ninety days there is anotice from aneighboring bank to the pious farmer to call and pay ‘the’note for $128.20 which it bought and which bears the farmer'ssigna- ture. ——-oc-.-.-.-oo-—— A CONFEDERA’I‘E GIANTS SWORD. Among the relics of the late war stowed away in the United States 0rd- nance Museum is a sabre full five feet long, which was found in the battle- field of Manassas. This formidable looking weapon was evidently made in some village blacksmith'e shop, from the fabled ploughshare, at the outbreak of the war, and its handle appearsto have been carved with a j ackknife from a cow’s born. A Virginian who visited the museum recognized‘the sabre as one that had been used byagiaut Vir- ginia cavalryman in "Je " Stuart's command. “The cavalrymnn in ques- tion," said the Virginian, “was nearly seven feet high, and broad inpropor- tion. He had that big sabre made by a cross-roads horseshoer, and promised to how his way through the Yankee lines with it and enter Washington; but. poor fellow, he was shot at Manassas before he could carry out his. rash purpose."

NO NAMES. , At some time in his life, almost every one has experienwd the pecuh’ar, the . almost desperate feeling of trying to recall a name that will not come! It is at our tongue’s end ; it be'ginswith a 3'; yet did we try for a year it would not come. One curious fact about the phe- 7 nomenon is that it seems to be contagi- ous. If one person suddenly finds him- self unablc to recall a name, the person with whom he is talking will stick at it also. The name almost always gets the 7 best of them, and they have to say, “ Yes, I know what you mean," and go on with their talk. I have never seen an explanation of this name-forgetful- ness; but it is not difficult to find a reason for it. What needs explaining is that names are so obstinate. and grow more obstinate the harder We try, while other things we have forgotten . and are trying to recall generally yield- them- selves to our efi'orts. Moreover, in other cases of forgetfulness‘ we never experience that peculiar and most exas- perating feature of name-forgetfulness— the feeling that we lmow the word per- fectly all the time. This last fact, indeed, seems to show that we have not forgotten the name at all, - but have simply lost the claw to it. Now, let us inquire why this clew is so hard to find. Why does not the association in other cases, enable us to recall names? The answer is, that names (proper names) have very few associations, very few strings or clews leading to them. A place may be remembered perfectly, but the only association the name has is how it sounded. It was of two words; the second was something like Hollow, or Cross roads, or Crossing; the first began with an S. But it is vain to seek. for it; no clew leads to it. Were it an event you sought to remember, many of its details could be recalled, some of which might lead to the desired fact; but a name has no details, and it is only possible to say of it that it sounded so and so, if it is possible to say that. It may be asked, how, then, is it that we do remember some names, as those in use every day ? Just as the multiplica- tion table is remembered—by force of familiarity; constant repetition engraves them in the mind. When in old age the vigor of the mind lessens, the engraving wears out and names are hard to recall, since there is no other clew to them than this engraved record. 'rnn AUSTRALIANS. The inhabitants of the continent of Australia have long been a puzzle to ethnologists. Of Negroid complexion, features, and skeletal characters, yet without the characteristic frizzly hair, their position has been one of great difficulty to determine. They have, in fact, been a stumbling block in the way of every system proposed. The solution supported by many considerations too lengthy to enter into here, appears to lie in the supposition that they are not a distinct race at all, that is, not a homo- geneous group formed by the gradual modification of one of the primitive stocks, but rather a. cross between two already formed branches of these stocks. According to this view Australia was originally peopled with frizzly haired Melanesians, such as those which still do, or did till the recent European inva- sion, dwell in the smaller islands which surround the north, east, and southern‘ portions of the continent, but that a strong infusion of some other race, probably a low form of Caucasian Mel- anochroi, such as that which still in-‘ habits the interior of the southern parts of India, has spread throughout the land from the northwest, and produced a modification of the physical charact- ers, especially of the hair. This influ- ence did not extend across Bass’s Strait into Tasmania, where as just said, the Melanesian element remained in its purity. It is more strongly marked in the northern and central parts of Aus- tralia than on many portions of the southern and western coasts, where the lownoss of type and more curly hair, sometimes closely approaching to frizz- ly, show a stronger retention of the Melanesian clement. If the evidence should prove sufficiently strongto es- tablish this view of the origin of the Australian natives it will no longer be correct to speak of a primitive Aus- trahan,’ or even Australoid, race or type or look for traces of the former exist- once of such a race anywhere out of their own land. -—-0-.-.O.-00—— ' 'rnn rurrrnsr or mISHMEN. To the Bench Curran could be at times uncermonious. In his early days Judge Robinson made an attempt to extinguish the rising advocation. Rob- inson, it was correctly reported owed .iis elevation to the publication of politi- cal pamphlets, remarkable only for their slavish meanness and scurrility. In arguing his case Curran said he had consulted all his law books and could not find the principle contended for. "I suspect, Sir,” said Robinson, “that your law library is rather scanty. " “Ii is very true, my Lord," said Curran, “that my books are not numerous; but I have prepared myself for this high profession rather by the study of a few good books than by the composi- tion of a great many bad ones." Cur- ran was occasionally nonplussed by a witness. Inquiring his aster’s ago from a horse trainer’s servant he could get no satisfactory answer. “Come, come, friend," urged Curran, “has Ahe not lost his teeth '1’" “Do you think,” rotor-ted the servant, “that Iknow his age as he does his horses ?_—by the mark of the mouth.” Once foiled by a Limerick banker with an iron leg. Curran in his address to the jury said that his leg was the softest part about him. In a debate in the House of Com- mons he stated that he needed no aid from any one, that he was proud to be “ the guardian of his own honor." “In- deed,” exclaimed Sir Boyle Roche, “I congratulate Mr. Curran on his holding a sinecure.” Lord Clare was a ' determined enemy of Curran while he was at the Bar. The Lord Chancellor mined his practice at the Chancery Court, and his cheats were always suf- ferers. Indeed, Curran stated that the losses in his professional income from the animosity of Lord Clare amounted to no less than £30,000. The incidents in court in consequence of this dis- agreement were sometimes ludicrous. ’,On one occasion when it was known that the advocate was about t9 make an elaborate argument in chancery, Lord Clare brought a Newfoundland dog upon the bench with him, and paid much more attention to the dog than he did to the barrister, and the fact was commented on by the profession. At a material point in the argument the Chancellor lost all decency, and turned quite aside to fondle the dog. Curran stopped at once. "' Go on, go on,” said Lord Clare. “Oh, I beg a thousand pardons, my Lord!" was the ready reply; “ I really took it for granted your - Lordship was engaged in consultation."
