Law and Liquor,
To the Editor of The Observer.
Nearly every one who reads anything
at an reads uicKens novels. The tear
ful evils resulting from the corruption
of laws which were once just and equit
able, is shown in his description of the
"circumlocution office, in "iileak
House. Poor Rich Carstone's death
from a broken heart, poor little Miss
Flite s insanity, are but two instances
of the hundreds of thousands who went
to ruin by way of this immense fraud,
the circumlocution office or English
court of chancery. From the wrongs
of these multitudes came the livings of
the circumlocution officers. Jiut when
Lord Brougham fought his long battle
of reform for years (1824-25-26) and came
off triumphant at last, these officers had
to give up many legal, but most miqui
to us gains.
They knew themselves that the day
of darkness was past, and that they.
the legalized vultures, who had ratten
ed on the woes of the, people, need not
resist the influences of moral life and
light any longer. Morally, Brougham
was one or the bravest men.
"Even Romilly" observes Sir E. "Wil-
mot, page 11, "who had an influence in
Parliament still greater than that of
Brougham, had shrunk from an at
tempt to drag to light, (so powerful
were their champions) the abuses and
iniquities of that court. Year after
year, on the contrary, did Brougham
fearlessly reiterate his attacks, until
the work of reformation became easier
in his own hands; and thd novel spec
tacle arose of a Lord Chancellor's first
act being to diminish his own emolu
ments and curtail his patronage."
Other reforms followed and we who
feel but little sympathy with suffering
we nave never realized, can scarcely
believe what enormities were practiced
in law courts, authorized by legislative
authority, within the recollection of
persons now living. Prisoners, except
in cases of treason and misdemeanor,
were not allowed the benefit of counsel.
The first attempt to remedy this inhu
man cruelty was in 1825. Mr. George
Lamb, supported by Brougham, brought
in the bill, it was rejected ; by a ma
iority Of 30. Another effort was made
in 1826 defeated by a majority of G9.
Eight years passed and another effort
was made again a failure. The next
year, 1885, another, attempt failed, and
in 1836 the last, final and victorious 'con
test, was the signal of a new reign of
rierht and justice.
Until a comparatively recent date, a
paltry act of pilfering (to the value of
five shillings) was punishable with
death ! - Only think of it, ye who enact
laws for your helpless ieilow creatures!
An instance is on record of a poor wo
man stealing a piece or. sue out or a
shop and selling it to procure food for
her starving children. She was hung
for it. ; And-this in England, within
the present century! "The land can
not be cleasned from blood, exoept by
the blood of them that shed it," says
the voice of unerring wisdom, and that
poor woman's blood rests guiltily, to
this day, upon the land.
These laws wee iniquitous, trafcjthey
were innocent in comparison. witli the
laws which grant ' licensesrto manufac-'
Oh, for an American Henry Brougham
to devote his .life to law-reform, in this
and other matters, some fearless, able,
conscientious, man as a leader, who
will patiently persist and carry his
point through all opposition.
4 Sidney Smith is best known to us as
a wit, but he-was also an earnest re
former. The following is an extract
from one of ' his speeches.. Brougham
became Lord Chancellor in 1830 : '
"Then, look at the gigantic Brough
am, sworn in at. twelve o'clock, and
before six p. m. he has a bill .on the ta
ble abolishing the abuses of a court
whlch;hasTeen the?curse'bf England
for centuries. For S twenty-five J long
years did Lord Eldoh (Bs predecessor,)
sit in that court, surrounded with
misery and sorrow, -which he never
held up a finger to alleviate. The
widow and the orphan cried to him as
vainly as the town-crier when he offers
a small reward for a fullrpurse. The
bankrupt of the court becaine thfe luna
tic of the court. Estates mouldered
away and mansions fell down, but the
fees came in, and all was well ; but in
one instant the iron mace of Brougham
shivered to atoms this house of frautl
and delay."
h ot not only centuries, out muien-
iums, liquor has been the curse of jthe
human race. The ilaw has: protected
this monstrdns' serpent, allowing "it to
crush in its deadly folds innumerable
men. women and children. Talk of the
court of Chancery 'driving people to
suicide and insanity I. For every one
victim of that vile court the serpent
alcohol numbers thousands! The
lunatic asylums are filled with them
the lails are hlled with them the noor

I met Senator Conklin g this afternoon
in his light wagon. :His' comoanion
was the sturdy Vice Presidents Both
were laughing and looked like daisies.
I could refrain from mentally colrtrast
ing their' unconstrained , and cheerful
appearance with that of the President
dejurt rand the Secretary-President as
they came down : to the door f : the
White House , together. GaTfield,Jwas
about starting for his; horseback ride.
Blaine was going home in his carriage.
Garfield looked strong, but pale. When
weary he has an Afncanesque tinge in.
iiis iace aim uia eyeuua iiaiig ueaviiy.
He seemed tired, but, as ever, good na
tured. Blaine walked with difficulty.
His hair is as white as snow. Great
bags hang beneath his eyes, and im
patience gnaws his soul as Certainly as
gout cramps his limbs. What a lesson
to the youth of the. land f Two men on
the very toppermost,branch uneasy lest
they fall. !
Garfield has goed, old-fashioned man
ners, not taught in dancing school; jut
born of a kindiyffature. He assisted
his feeble friend to his : seat and bade
him an affectionate au reveir--tot,he
speaks Trench like a native," of Ohio
and mounted his strong and lusty steed.
1 watched him with interest.
Was there ever a President watched
with more ? When he went into office
he had the good will and encourage
ment of every one.
Sinee then lie has danced but one
measure, and that was taught him by
the Secretary-President.
Query--What kind of a dancing mas

An Eccentric Aristocrat.
New York Son.
Lord Dunmore is dcidedly that
"homme universel," of whose existence
somewhere in some remote corner of
the globe Jean Jacques Rousseau felt
perfectly convinced. In the full sum
mer and early autumn he may be seen
careering in wild exuberance of spirits
over the grassy plains of Montana in
charge , of his countless thousands of
beeves, all branded with his cipher.
Should you chance to light on him then
you would find a bluff and cheery indi
vidual, clothed in stout buckskin, seat
ed on a high Mixican saddle,.and wield
ing the cattle driver's whip high above
his head in true Mexican fashion. In
late autumn and early winter you will
find him busily engaged in superintend
ing his potteries of Dunmore, where he.
sends forth vessels of marvellous beau
ty, all designed by his own hand. In
the late winter and early spring he re
turns to aristocratic life, and gives his
celebrated concerts at Aberdeen House.
No fewer than eight members of the
royal family were present at the last.
He employs La Berre to direct, but in
trusts the orchestral leadership to none
but himself ; and no one who beholds
him in full dress, weilding his delicate
baton, can realize the picture of the
Mexican whip and lasso, or that of the
potter's wheel and mallet.

and acquainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered to the child,

That night the child passed In suSertng, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home the- day
following, the father found the .baby still worse;
and while contemplating another sleepless night,
the mother stepped from the 'room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the fatherwtth the
child. During her absence he administered a por
tion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said
nothing. That night all hands slept welt and the
little fellow awoke in the morning bright and, hap.
py. The mother was delighted with the eodden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend
