Something new at Wo. - . The indifference of the government has aroused the whole people, and the press of the island, with the exception of Dlario, Marior's official organ, has been unanimous in denouncing the government Property is. no longer secure, and people are ready to throw off the yoke Of Spanish rule and get rid of the enormous burden of government, which oppresses without protecting its subjects. The advocates of political autonomy are becoming bolder, and are supported by many who have heretofore adhered to the government "The majority of the islanders are in favor of throwing themselves on the protection of the United States. A movement is on foot among some of the prominent pwple to throw off their allegiance to Spain and then to offer themselves to the German government This, they believe, will arouse a spirit of. opposition among Americans, and* be Monroe doctrine will here assert itself, and the result will be to foroe the United States to assume control over them. The Bothnia, of the Canard line, had broken her shaft mid ocean and came limping into Liverpool harbor many days after she was due. As Roecoe Conlding was on lioerd that ship ranch anxiety had been felt The TJmbria, on which we sailed, started a weei later, but caught np with the wounded steamer, and the two vessels wentlnto harbor together. Meetiig Mr. Conkllng In the Northwestern hotel, Liverpool, the next morning, I asked him If the accident and detention had not been to him some anxiety and worrlment He saldi "Ob, no) I was sure that good fortune would bring us through all right!» Many of as have hoped and prayed that thia human craft of legal skill and eloquence might weather the rough seas Of physical suffering, and might come through, though with a broken shaft of energy, Into convalescence and safety. About Roscoe Conkllng as a politician I have nothing to say. There is no need that I open that field of enragod controversy. About Rosooe Conkling as a lawyer there is only one opinion. Armed at every point, brilliant, severely logical If he chose, and uproarious with mirth If he thought that the most effective, all the armories Of invective and satire at hii command, the only man who could afford to turn his back upon the chief justiceship of the supreme court of the United States, and nothing could stop him except a blizzard that stopped everything, and the only reason be did not get that "set aside,"'or "overruled," or "dismissed," or "non-suited," was because It was already decided by a oourt from which there was no appeal. What a beautiful and sublime thing to be set down to the credit of human nature that all political animosities have been silenced by the story of his rick chamber, and that though neither Mr. Blaine nor Mr. Conkllng could hardly have been president while either lived, people of all parties were hoping for Mr. Conkllng's recovery. Behold a nation standing anxious at a great lawyer's bedside! Are you sufficiently acquainted with the former unjust prejudice against that profession to realise the contrast between the way it was once and the way it is now? Bo long ago as (h the time of Oliver Cromwell it was decided that law yen might not enter the parliament house as members. The learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epitaph for one of them in these words: God works wonders bow and then; Here lies a lawyer, an honest man I Two hundred yean ago a treatise was issued with the title:  ing with Thunder and Lightning for Lawyer*." A prominent clergyman of the last century wrote In regard to that profession these words: "Then is a society of men among us bred up from their youth In-the art of proving, according as they are paid, by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black and black is white. For example, if my neighbor has a mind to my cow, he hires a lawyer to prove that he ought to have my cow from me. I must hire another lawyer to defend my right, it being against all rules of law that a man should speak for himself. In pleading they do not dwell upon the merits of the cause, but upon circumstances foreign thereto. For Instance, they do not take the shortest method to know what title my adversary has to my cow, but whether the cow be red or black, her horns long or short, or the like. After that they adjourn the cause from time to time, and in twenty yean they come to an issue. This society, likewise, has a peculiar cant or jargon of their own, in which all their law* are written, and these they take espeeial care to multiply, whereby they have so confounded truth and falsehood that it will take twelve yean to decide whether the field left to me by my ancestor* for six generations belongs to me or to one 800 miles off." So there was an outrageous prejudice going on against that profession from generation to generation. I account for it on the single fact that they compel men to pay debts that they dontwynt to pay, and that they arraign criminals who want to escape the consequences of their crime; and as long as that is so—and it always will be so—just so long there will be classes of men who will affect, at any rate, to despise the legal profession. I know not how It is in other countries, but I have had long and wide acquaintance with men of that profession—I have found them in all my parishes—I tarried in one of their offices for three yean, where there came real estate lawyers, insurance lawyers, criminal lawyers, marine lawyers, and I have yet to find a class of men more genial or more straightforward. There are in that occupation,as in all other occupations, men utterly Qtmgxlous to God and man; and so tt all other professions) but if J were qq tria} fpf my integrity or my life, and I wanted even handed Justice administered to me, I would rather have my case submitted to a jury of twelve lawyers than to a jury of twelve clergymen. I cannot forget the mighty service which ' the legal profession has rendered the cause of . religion. Among the mightiest pleas that ever have been made tDy tongue of barrister, have been pleas in behalf of the Bible and and Christianity—as when Daniel Webster in the supreme court at Washington, pleading iu the famous Girard will case, denouncing any ati».=;* to educate the people without giving them at the a«me time moral sentiment, as "low, ribald, and vulgar deism and Infidelity;" as when Samnal L Southard, of New Jersey, the leader of the forum in his ey, stood on the platform at Princeton ool»e commencement, pdvocati ig the literary excellency of the ScriptuAsr; as whsn Edmund Barks, in the famous trial of Warren Hastings, not only in behalf of the English government,, but in behalf of elevated morals, closed his speech in the midst of the most *ugust assemblage ever gathered in Westminster hall, by saying: "I impeach Warren Pasting* in the name of the house of commons, who** national character he has dishonored; I impeach him in-ths of the people Of IndiaTwhcae righta he has subverted; I impeach him in the Of human nature, which he has disgraced; in the name of both sexes, and of every rank, and of every station, and „f every situation ID the world, I impeach Warren Hasting*." Among the most ardent supporter* of Christ and the gospel have been Blackstone, the great commentator on English law; and Wilberforce. the emancipator, and the late Benjamin F. Butler, attorney general of New York; and the late Charles Chaunoey, the leader of the Philadelphia bar; and Chief Jnstioss Manhall, and Tenterden, and Campbell, and Sir Thomas More, who died for the truth on the scaffold, saying td his aghast executioner: "Pluck np oourage, man, and do your duty; my neck is very short; be FEBOALE SHIRTS—The newest patterns sad colors, Vl.00 to «1.N. 8 collars and 1 pair Cuffs.

Fur the .v«h of the game Mulvey and Kel.jf are responsible. The Conner threw wildly to the home plate to ottt off Kelly, and the "Beauty," us he afterward admitted to Umpire DaaioLi, held Clements to prevent him securing tuD ball, which allowed Wise to score also. Alter this uogeutltananly act Kelly further tantalised and dtagusted the crowd by facing the grand stand and shouting, "That's the soup." The features of the game were the base play of Bastian and Nsish and the batting of Wood, whose terrific drive over the fence for a home run was the only play applauded. DanleW umpiring gave general satisfaction. Following is the score: And wejare Interested In the welfare of the legal profession. Their perplexities are in, numerable.

On one extreme Lord Brougham will appear, saying: "The innocence or guilt of your client is nothing to you. You are to save your client regardless of the torment, the suffering, the destruction of all others. You are to know but one man In the world —your client You are to save him, though you should bring your country into confusion. At all hazards yon must save you* client" So says Lord Brougham. But no right minded lawyer oould adopt that sentiment On the other extreme, Cioaro will come and aay: "You must never plead the cause of a bad man," forgetful of the fact that the greatest villain on earth ought to hare a fair trial, and that an attorney cannot be judge and advocate at the same time. It was grand when Lord Erskine sacrificed his attorney generalship for the aake of defending Thomas ?*ine in his publication of his book called "The Rights of Man," while at he same time, he, the advocate, abhorred Thomas Paine's religious sentiments. Between these two opposite theories of what is right, what shall the attorney do! God alone can direct him. To that chancery he must be appellant, and he will get an answer in an hour. Blessed Is that attorney, between whose office and the throne of God there is perpetual, reverential and pray fu) communication. That attorney will never make an irreparable mistake. True to the habits of your profession, you aay: "Cite us some authority am the subject" Well, I quote to you the decision of the supreme court of heaven: "If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to aD men liberally, and upbraideth not, and It shall be given him."
