LAWYER WHO WAS A TERROR.

Btronze Character of John Taylor ofthe Barljr Arkansas Bar.

At the last meeting of the ArkansasTBar-associatlon;-president Cteorge B. Bose, deliveredon interesting address on "The Bar ofEarly Arkansas," In which he set him-self the task of rescuing from oblivionsome members of the early leadenof the bar nnd reconstructing the con•aitIons~TiHaer which—theyAmong them Is represented the curiousfigure of John Taylor, whose pictur-esque and terrible character might wellfurnish a hint for a modern Sir WalterScott, If he were fortunate enough topossess a successor to the great novel-ist:

John Taylor waa only a sojourner inArkansas from 1837 to 1844. but be wasso remarkable a man that he shouldnot be forgotten. • • • Everybody whoheard him agreed thnt ln-capaclty—for.Invective,-for-withering,, bllstering,-:en-.

He talked to no one save .onbusiness. When- he settled In LittleRock,.whither he had come from Ala-bama after he had been defeated Incandidacy for the United States senate,all the bar called on him, but he re-ceived them with repelling" coldnesiand returned'no visits. He bad a wifebut nobody ever saw her—wonderfuth^ng considering the small size o;Little Itocfc at that/time.

During "the seven years of his so)Journ he never Crossed any man"'threshold, and no man crossed hlo.;ln riding the circuit Be^al^ays rode)alone, permitting no companionship,and while In attendance on court hi'would, if the weather permitted, live'In a tent pitched In the neighboring.wood, where he might not have to lookon the hated fac« of his fellow man., Yet this modern Tlmon, a thousandtimes more embittered nnd malignantthan he of Athens, was a devoutOhrlntlan, assiduous in his attendanciat church, and always speaking willIntense religious conviction. But tliliHtrange, Invisible wife did not appealoven on tho sabbath.

As a lawyer ho was n terror. Hl«knowledge of law wai prodigious andhln memory of authorities almost oupcrhuman.

How many houses andcastles he would build with her blockdto amuHO her, and the fairy tales hewould tell! Jean proved her loyalty tosuch brotherly lovtf-by loVlng him withthe'whole of her baby heart.' This morning Robert wakened earlytand stood looking from the basementwindoV as though In quest of some-thing, and on his' countenance a lookof longing. He realized it was Jean'sbirthday and be had~~8pefit his last-dlme for marbles yesterday. He hadreally meant to save It, but then themarbles were such n bargain—and—

mind now as to his decision In givingup the- parade to find Jean's .penny.His little act.of kindness and sacrificeof pleasure made mother very happyand proud of- him.,..

He had wantedto buy Jean so many things, but thelittle furry kitten on wheels In theshop window was the great prize liehad longed for. He had taken Jeandown to see It and how she had clap-ped her bands with delight! Oh, howselfish he had been to buy those mar-bles and now have no money to pur-chase a birthday gift

He was Interrupted In his medita-tion, however, by seeing Alexander,his playmate and neighbor, runningdown the street calling to Robert atthe window.: •

"There's a parade from the circuscoming—hurry up!"

beard Jean call."Oh, Robert, I 've lost my penny,

please get It"—with a long drawnplease—"It's down the cracks."

How could he let that parade go?He could get the penny any time. Butit waa Jean's birthday and she wantedthe penny now, so- down oh his kneesRobert peeked through the cracks, buthe couldn't see It at all. so the loyallittle fellow got the hatchet and pound-ed away until be raised the boardsenough for his body to slip through afew feet to the earth below.

passed at tbe Caucus held March 7th,1001, the subject of license may beintroduced next Thursday night, audplaced on the ticket:

Resolved. That at the next electionof town officers the ballots shall containthe words "ForLicenee," and "AgainstLicense," the voter erasing the affirma-f've or negative, as preferred; and thatthe question of ''For License'.' or"Against License" be voted upoireVerythree years thereafter.

Resolved,That It is understood by,and obligatory upon, every Councilmanwho may be elected, to respect thewishes of .the majority of voters,, asexpressed at tbe polls, regarding licenseor no license, independently of bis indi-vidual opinions or preferences in themutter,—every candidate being consid-ered as pledging himself to that effect.•There is no need of repeating our

sentiment as to tbe license question.We have always opposed it, and shalltake every opportunity• to deal a' blowat the rumt o vote N O LICENSE. • - . . ' • •

iSotne papers Circulated'in this localityquote opinions from two or three citizenswho favor license ; but they carefullyavoid the majority who oppose it. Yes,,we say majority, for thus it was threeyears ago. More voles were cast againstthan for : but on account ot a technic-ality (marked ballots), several werethrown out,—and these bad "AgainstLicense" on.

It is hardly credible; but true,that there is a drop of 18 feet 4 inchesbetween the Pennsylvania -Railroadand MaTbJtbadrbjTway of the naturalwater course, being a distance of 480rods, and draining an area in all fully750 acres. This, according to thecommittee and- Engineer Ha'tton, is,amply sufficient to drain Hammonton,provided ditches are dug in properplaces and the humps leveled off.They also reported sections of streetswhere there Is a "dead level" for hun-dreds of feet (up to a thousand), whichshould be repaired. They recommend-ed that the work be done by a compe-tent engineer, as it would constitute apermanent improvement. The reportwas accepted, the committee tlxanked,and the matter referred to annualtovfn meeting.

Canary Birds In liondon.The recent sale In London of a pair

of canaries for £70 has directed publicattention to the "boom" now raging in"these diminutive pets. Since Kingftilwar-d took up the hobby of canarybreeding prices have been steadily ris-ing, and In many Instances birds havechanged bands for four times theirweight In gold.

Tho most expennlve variety arethose with crestH, or topknotn, offeathers. Perfect crested canaries arevery difficult to breed, and they aresubject to blindness, tho crest beingcultivated to such an extent that itgrows over the even and bides c^entho beak.

And-'upT says a fine7 writer,'for eighteencenturies, some of the best minds werefascinated by this .problem, drew from itstrength, and discipline; and yet, in all thistime, the problem was an abstract form,ja beautiful or painful speculation.

Keplercame; sat down to the study; and by whatwe call the suggestion of genius, but oughtto call, the inspiration of the Almighty,found that the orbits of the planets weretelliptical, and he died. Then Newton wasjborn, took up the problem where Keplernsd laid it down, made all thc established•facts tlic base of his mightier labors; and,when he had done, he had shown that thisfigure, this problem, which had held menspellbound through the ages, is a pi imcelement in the law of universal gravitation—at once the most beautiful theory und'the roost absolute conclusion of science.Then men cou1'' sen- how 'it was, becauseGod had r- ' the lieht shine on thething, tly£_ ;ay was found." ifrom t\e\v=ton D£'r'fiai j. jatp, in true apsotolic o'r.ler.every man, bending over this. mystery ofa'light where there was no way, and wi'est-

trained to believe in the axiom we put upin our Sunday-schools, that to be good is tobe happy. Now he had been good and yetfaere he waa, as miserable as it waa pos-sible for a man to be. And tho worst.ofall was, he could not deaden down to thdlevel of his misery. The light given himon the divine justice would not let himrest. His subtle spirit, pierced, restless,dissatisfied, tried him every moment.Questions like these came up in his mind:•"Why have I lost my money? I made ithonestly, and made good use of it. Whyin my home ruined? I never brought uponit one shadow of disgrace. Why am Ibercavcn of my children, and worse thanbercaven of my wife?

POfNTS. EXPLAINED.

HOW TO LOCATE THIS LESSON.

Since the last lesson the following.events are recorded: A withdrawal, thenext morning, from Capernaum to ildesert place, whither Jesus' was fol-

-loWod^by Peter arid the other disciples.When sought by the multitude, Jesus'makes a preaching tour throughout.Galilee, often spoken of as the "firstcircuit." During this tour he healeda leper^sending him to the prlestrandbidding him keep silence. But the man .published his care so fully that Je.susremained away from the larger placesto avoid the crowds.^ though manycame to him. On hjs return to Caper-naum the incident in the lesson oc-curred.

Place,— Capernaum, then a flourish-ing city in ' Gennesaret, and after thistime the home of Jesus. The site Isin dispute; Khan MInyeh and Tell Humeach have strong advocates. The.lat-

former is three miles farther in thesame direction. Both are In Genne-saret.

The "hp.use" may have been that ofPeter, or Mary's. In any case, thephrase used in vetfle 1 ("at home," Rev.Ver., marg.) suggests that Is was hiscustomary residence when" at Caper-naum. It was evidently large, andbuilt round an Inner court, from whicha "porch" led to the outer-door,"Arorr/.d•the "court" there usually was a gal--lery;—If—this—house—had—onej—It—was-probably in this "gallery" that Jesustaught. The roof of both house andgallery would be made of .beaten earthcovered by tiles or brick, that of thegallery lighter. Either could be readilybroken up (v. 4). The narrative plainlyshows that the uncovering was notmerely the removal of an awning overthe court. "The roof. wa0 reached bystairs from the outside, as in Easternhouses now. The distance from the roof,was hot great, and from. the galleryroof-it might be less than ten feet towhere Jesus was. - „ ^

Time.—As the call of Matthew (Lev!)followed Immediately, and as that eventis placed, according to the view hereaccepted, just before the second pass-over, the date of this lesson is. the lat-ter part of March, year of Rome 781;that Is,,A. D. 28.

Some

•which amounts to the same thing.Verse 1.—After some days: Quite In-

definite, but indicatlng-that Mark fol-lows the historical order.—Noised: Je-sus was not seeking publicity, as Mark1: 35-45 shows, but the report of hia

"be'iicve~l-arrlval at. Capernaum soon spread.—_.,—r-jrixjthe house: Or, "at home" (se-j

abo've, under "Place"). Klther senseis grammatical, though the latter Isfavored by the absence of the' articleIn the Greek.

Verse 2.—Not even about the door:Mark's description Is peculleir_-aridgraphic, us If derived from one whosaw thc gathering of the Increasingcrowd, the late comers finding no roomeven In the porch.

Verse 8.—They come: The Indefinite."they" Indicates that quite n number"of people accompanied the paralyth',though he wan carried by four.—Slcliof the palay: Literally, "n paralytic,"the Greek word being transferred IntoEnglish. Luke aaya "paralyzed." Thodisease Is the same na that now bear-ing the name. In this,case the limbs-were affected.

Verne 4.—Crowd: The term usuallyrendered ^.'multitude," but here"crowd" IB more apt.—Uncovered theroof: Luke ,. Hpenkn of letting him"down through the tiles," and "brok-f-n It up",means "dug out." Hencethere Is no doubt HH to an actual open-ing of the roof, whether of thn hoimeor of the gallery (see above, under"Place"),—Heil: ThlH WUH a "pallet"(American IJev.
