I remem- uring a three-days’ visit to the Leytons, hearing Laura praise the nightingale as if she were complimenting Lady Leyton on the musical performance of her niece, and she really spoke of a peculiarly brilliant sunset with a civility that led one to infer that she imputed the splendor of the evening sky to the admirable taste and feeling for color of Lord Leyton himself —Ex- trects from the “ Etchingham Letters.”” The Peacemaker “Ir is to be wished that those who nations would imitate artists. As soon as it is known in London that a new stuff is made in France, they are sure to counterfeit it. Why is not a statesman equally desirous to establish in bis own country a salutary ‘law taken from a foreign nation? ”” * © The most salutary law, the most ex- cellent custom, and the most useful I have ever seen, is in Holland. When two persons are about to enter on a lawsuit, they are first obliged to go before a tribunal of reconciling judges called the Peacemakers. If the parties happen to bring with them a lawyer and a counsellor, the first thing done is to send these gentlemen about their business, as we take off the wood from a fire we want to extinguish. The Peace- nakers tell the parties: ‘You are certainly great fools to spend your moxey to procure your own ruin; we will bring you to an agreement with- cat costing you one farthing.’ If the rage of chicane happens to be too violent in our par. ties, they put them off to another day, in order that time may soften and mitigate the symptoms of their disorder; after the expiration of which time the judges ‘summon them before them a second time and a third time. If their folly is of the incurable sort, they promise them that they will consent to their having their cause tried in a court of justice, in the same manner as we abandon an incurable member to the sur- geon; and then the law has its course.’” Fr. tof a letter from Voltaire’s Essays, La Verita Edition, Vol. 37.

ON THE NORTH COAST LIMITED The Barnum of Journalism Mr. Hearst's politics reflect always the bustling journalist. Your yellow fellow is never a man of conviction nor often, indeed, a man of respect for broad principles. He is one with an instinct for comprehending the mood of the public mind. His ear is always on the ground and his study is how to estimate the tendencies and the appe- tite of that part of the great public whose men- tal and moral life rests upon the events and dis- cussions of the day. The first mark of his pro- fessional ability is his readiness to know what the public wants or what it may be brought to accept; second, his power to so organize and direct the forces at his command as to meet the immediate public taste. 798 Ririte for iistrated book- Export ND.Gen.
