The Heir Apparent also inspected abo thirty miles of British warships, in whi wer^ 165 fighting ships of different class< carrying about nine hundred heavy gui manned by over thirty-eight thousand m and of about five hundred and fifty tho sand tons in all. Each maritime Nation sent an Admii in his flagship to witness the review. Th formed in a line abreast of the British b? tie-ships, where they were favorably placi to compare their own naval archiitectu with that of other Nations. Each Natii sent its best available ship, and a magni cent display resulted. The British fleet assembled June 22, ai was drawn up in four lines extending fro abreast of Portsmouth Harbor to a distan of about five miles to the westward. Following the precedent of former nav r<?vi??ws there was free access to the revie ground up to the hour named for the offici inspection, when all vessels with visito anchored in their assigned positions, ai the tour of the fleet was commenced by tl Prince of Wales.

At 8 o'clock a. m. on signal from the K nowu. Admiral Sir Nowell Salmon's fla ship, there broke out on every ws.r vessel perfect eruption of color. Each shipsprei ?very stitch of bunting she possessed streamers from every spar and rainbow over all. The illumination of the fleet at night w; one of the most charming sight3 of a wet of delightful spectacles. At 9 o'clock rocket from the Renown signalled the ligh tng up. Light lines ran in graceful curv along the hulls and.from bow to stern ov the mastheads. A few minutes later th< vanished with the suddenness of their a pearance. Then the darkness was broki again, this time by numberless searchlight A pause, and the darkness was pierced 1 hundreds of rockets. The illuminations of the Brooklyn refle ted the very greatest credit npon all co cerned. Along her rail was a row of ele * trie lights, while between her funnels we large letters, "V. R." and the dates "183 yr snowing up conspicuously. The most striking feature was Old Glo flying from a vardarm and on which, fro time to time, "the rays of a search lig were thrown, all the other lights of tl cruiser in the meanwhile being quenche thus giving the flag the appearance floating in the air, nothing else being vi= ible about it.

Fonr Men, Thought to Be Laughing Sam Carey With a New Gang, Kaid the Butte County Bank at Belle Fourche South Dakota, and All But One Get Away Into the Impassable Bad Lands. Deapwood, South Dakota (Special).? Four masked men made a desperate raid dd the Butte County Bank at Belle Fourche Monday afternoon. Entering the bank with revolvers drawn they ordered the customers present and the bank officials to pu* up their hands. A little hesitancy on thf part of Cashier Marble drew a shot from one of the robbers, which clipped off a piece of the cashier's right ear and enforced :ompliance with the command. In the safe and on the counters there were bills and coin amounting to aboui $10,000. The robbers scooped it aU into 8 sack, backed out of the bank, and maounting their horses, which had been conveniently stationed near, rode away. The alarm was given immediately and in i few moments a well-mounted and armed losse was in pursuit. Within a few miles ,'rom town the posse came up with the fugi:ives and a running fight ensued, which rein nrta r\f rnUhpro Qiir?*nri ArlllCP. The others, being better mounted, kept on, >ut nre closely pursued and have very little jhanee of escaping. The man who wis captured is a stranger n the hills, and it is believed that he was lsed to locate the placc and fix all the derails. The other men are believecfto be the emnants of the once famous band of Laughing Sam Carey that flourished in the 31ack Hills until ten years ago, when they leld up the iron-bound treasure coach of ;he Well9-Fargo Company at Buffalo Gap md were almost exterminated. They got ?50,000 in gold at that time, and the surviving members got out of the country with t. Several men who saw the escaping robbers declare that the leader was Car?y. Sone of the men carried rifles, but all were irmed with heavy revolvers. The men nade for the Bad Lands. They evidently Igure on standing off the posse or hid:.ng n some of the many recesses. There were eight men in the bank at :he ime the robbers entered, three of whom lad pistols in their pockets. Most of them vere men who have lived on the frontier a ong time, and knew that an effort to draw i revolver would merely precipitate a fight :hat might end in the killing of all those in ;he bank. The men worked at the job as coolly as if .hey were performing a legitimate transaction. When they were overmen by their lursuers they had discarded their masks ind were counting the money. They quickly jot their revolvers into action, and showed !>y the way they used them they were oldrimers at the* business. The bank has >ffered a reward of $5000 for the robbers, lead or alive.

But sometimes g m we catch a glimpse of the mild and genial g itr side of Paul's nature. It seems that he had a friend who was a barrister by profession. ? s- His name was Zenas, and he wanted to see 0 ie him.

"J ly Among the mightiest pleas that ever n fe have been made by tongue of barrister ^ Lis have been pleas In behalf of the Bible and ? e- Christianity, as when Daniel Webster stood ? er in the 8upreme Court at Washington pleading in the famous Girard will case, dent nounoing any attempt to educate the peo1(j pie without giving them at the same time as moral sentiment as "low, ribald and vulgar )r> deism and infidelity;" as when 8amuel L. re Southard, of New Jersey, the leader of the ig forum in his day, stood on the platform at Princeton college commencement advocatt-B ing the literary excellency of the Scripp. tures; as when Edmund Burke, in thfe famea ous trial of Warren Hastings, not only in behalf of the English government, but in e(j behalf of elevated morals, closed his speech in the midst of the most aagust assemblage ever gathered in Westminster hall by saying: "I impeach Warren Hastings in the 1(1 name of the House of Commons, whose 3n national character he has dishonored; I in mpeach him in the name of the people of India, whose rights and liberties he has subverted; I impeach him in the name of ? 1(. human nature, which he has disgraced. | ? Tn *Ka n am a nf hnth anrna and of evarv . " rank, and of every station, and of every jj. situation in the world, I impeach Warren g(J Hastings." Yet, notwithstanding all the pleas which r that profession has made in behalf of God * and the church and the gospel and the _ rights of man, there has come down through the generations among many peopie an absurd and wicked prejudice against i? it. So long ago as in the time of Oliver ng Cromwell it was decided that lawyers might v.e not enter the parliament .house as members, 10 and they were called "sons of Zeruiah." ^ The learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epitaph ' ' for one of them In these words: n- God works wonders now and then, to Here lies a lawyer, an honest man! ner Two hundred years ago a treatise was isIt sued with the title, "Doomsday Approachid ing With Thander and Lightning for Lawry yers." A prominent clergyman of the last I century wrote in regard to that profession a these words:' 'There is among us a society of ad men bred up from their youth in the art of 33 proving, according as they are paid, by id words multiplied for the purpose, that it- white is black and black is white. For exre ample: If my neighbor has a mind to my cow, he hires a lawyer to prove that 70 he ought to have my cow from me. I must ed hire another lawyer to defend my right, it Is- | being against all rules of law that a man he should speak for himself. In pleading they ed do not dwell upon the merits of the cause, ed but upon circumstances, foreign thereto. rt? For instance, they do not take the shortest is- methods to know what title my adversary he has to my cow, but whether the cow be red nt or black, her horns long or short or the ed like. After that they adjourn the cause from time to time, and in twenty years they of come to an issue. This society likewise has < o- a peculiar cant or jargon of their own, in It which all their laws are written, and these ch they take especial care to multiply, whereen by they have so confounded truth and false' he hood that It will take twelve years to decide ch whether the field left to mo" by my ancestors for six generations belongs to me or to ono suu miies on. j I say these things to show you that there has been a prejudice going on down against lg that profession from generation to genera' tion. I account for it on the ground that P" they compel men to pay debts that thoy do h- not want to pay, and that they arraign 55 criminals who want to escape the consent quences of their crime, and as long as that al is so, and it always will be so, just so long rd there will be classes of men who will affect 3S, at any rate to despise the legal profession, he I know not how it is in other countries, but at I have had long and wide acquaintance Q- with men of that profession. I have found t>y them in all my parishes. I tarried in one of their offices for three years, where there came real estate lawyers, Insurance lawyers, criminal lawyers, marine lawyers, and I have yet to find a class of men more genial ve or more straightforward. There are in that a* ocupation, as in all our occupations, men 11 ? -i : nvwl man Kill if T 4 utieriy oaaoxiuus iu uuu ouu mgu, /<.> ? . , Q_ were on trial for my integrity or my life and < Ql I wanted even handed justice administered / to me I would rather have my case submit- ] ted to a jury of twelve lawyers than to a ] jury of twelve clergymen. The legal pro- i fession, I believe, has less violence of preju- j dice than is to be found in the sacred call- < he ing. ' I Ej0 Tnere is, however, no man who has more i nd temptations or graver responsibilities than j .h. the barrister, and he who attempts to dis- < charge the duties of his position wttn only i earthly resources is making a very great | mistake. Witness the scores of men who | have in that profession made eternal ship- | wreck. Witness the men who, with the j ise jaw 0( the land under their arm, have vio- i of lated every statute of the eternal God. | iut Witness the men who have argued placidly | 10- before earthly tribunals, who shall shiver < " 1 ,a .Tmitre nf nuick and i XL- 13 UlSUtar - - -o- -- 4 he dead. Witness Lord Thurlow announcing I his loyalty to earthly government in the sentence, "If I forget"iny earthly sovereign, \ | may God forget me!" and yet stooping to I ... i unaccountable meannesses.

While I would have you ne | bring the merchant to Christ, and while j I would have you bring the farmer to j od j Christ, and while I would have you j fc- bring the mechanic to Christ, I address ' te, you now in the words of Paul to Titus, ? ra "Bring Zenas the lawyer." By so much as ti- his duties are delicate ana great, by so be nuch does he need Christian stimulus and iOO ;areguard. We all become clients. I do ( lot suppose there Is a man fifty years of I ?e who has been in active life who ha^HSHK ot been afflicted with a lawsuit. You^RSgj ame is assaulted, and you must have rotection. Tour boundary line is lvaded, and the courts must re-esiblish it. Your patent is in- |3 rineed noon, and you must make the ffending manufacturer pay tho penalty, our treasures are taken, and tho thief lust be apprehended. You want to make our will, and you do not want to follow he example of those who, for the sake of aving S100 from an attorney, imperil $250, DO and keep the generation following for wenty years quarreling about the estate ntil it is all exhausted. You are struck at y an assassin, and you must invoke for im the penitentiary. All classes of perons in course of time become clients, and v herefore they are all interested in the thor- ? litv and Christian integrity of the legal rofession. "Bring Zenas the lawyer." But how is an attorney to decide as to rhat are the principles by which he should onduct himself in regard to his clients? in one extreme Lord Brougham will ap ear, saying: "Tho innocence or guilt of our client is nothing: to you. You are to ave your olient regardless of the torment, be suffering, the destruction of all others. 'ou are to know but one man in the world -yonr client. You are to save him though ou should bring your country into confnlon. At all hazards you must save your 1I..1 II O. ? T ? V..?. ucuu ou sap uuru Druu^uaui, vui uu ight minded lawyer could adopt that sen- .; iment. v On the other extreme Ciccro will come ' o you and say, "You must never plead the V ause of a bad man," forgetful of the fact hat the greatest villain on earth ought to ave a fair trial and that an attorney canot be judge aud advocate at the same [me. It was grand when Lord Erskine aerified his attorney generalship for the ake of defending Thomas Paine in his ublication of his book called "The Rights f Mao," while at the same time he, the dvoeate, abhorred Thomas Paine's irre[gious sentiments. Between these" two ipposite theories of what is right what hall the attorney do? God alone can ilrect him. To that chancery he must be ppeilant, and he will get an answer In an lour. Blessed is that attorney between . ? 'hose office and the throne of God there is erpetual, reverential and prayerful communication! That attorney will never lake an irreparable mistake. True to the labits of your profession, you say, "Cite is some authority on the subject." Well, I note to you the decision of the supreme ourt of heaven, "I! any lack wisdom, let iim ask of .God, who giveth to all men librally and upbraideth not, and it shall be ;iven him." What a scene is the office of a busy atorney! In addition to the men who come o you from right motives, bad men will ome to you. They will offer you a large afl /lAimonl It* fha VTAnff HlfftflHrtfl. , ?hey want to know from you how they 1 an escape from solemn marital obligation. They oome to you wanting to know how hey can fall advantageously for them- . elves. They come to you wanting to know low they can make the insuranoe com-* >any pay for a destroyed house which hey burned down with their own hands, ir they come to you on the simple errand if wanting to escape payment of their Lonest debts. Now. it is no easy thing 0 advise settlement when by urging litigation you could strike a mine of remunerition. It Is not a very easy thing to lampen the ardor of an inflamed contestant < phen you know through a prolonged lawuit you could get from him whatever you isked. It is no easy thing to attempt to liscourage the suit for the breaking of a fill in the surrogate's court because you mow the testator was of sound mind and >ody wlien he signed the document. It retires no small heroism to do as I once leard an attorney do in an offloe 1a vestern city. 1 overheard the conversation when h? aid, "John, you can go on with this lawiift and T will soe vou through as well as can, bat I want to tell you before you start hat a lawsuit is equal to a fire." Under ' , ! he tremendous temptations that oome upon he legal profession there are scores of men vho have gone down, and some of them rom being the pride of the highest tribunal ? >f the State have become a disgrace to the Tombs courtroom. Every attorney, in adlition to the innate sense of right, wants he sustaining power of the old fashioned eligion of Jesus Christ. "Bring Zenas the v ' awyer." ,1| Another powerful temntatlon of the legal fl >rofession is to artificial stimulus. No one . 4 ixcept those who have addressed audiences mows about the nervous exhaustion that lomotimes comes afterward. The temptaion to strong drink approaches the legal >rofession at that very point. Then a trial s coming on. Through the ill ventilated lourtroom the barrister's health has been lepressed for days and for weeks. He vants to rally his energy. He is tsmpted to esort to artificial stimulus. It is either to . jet himself up or let himself down that this emptation comes upon him. The flower >f the American bar, ruined in reputation ind ruined in estate, said in his last mo nents: "This Is the end. I am dying on a >orrowed bed, covered with a borrowed iheet, in a house built by publio charity. Jury me under that treo in the middle of he field, that I may not be crowded; I alvays have been crowded." Another powerful temptation of the legal )rofession Is to allow the absorbing duties >f the profession to shut out thoughts of he great future. You know very well that rou who have so of*in tried others will after iwhiie be put on trial yourselves. Death will serve on you a writ of ejectment, and fou will be put off these earthly premises. 3n that day all the affairs of your life will )e presented in a "bill of particulars." No jertiorari from a higher court, for this is ;he highest court. The day when Lord Ex>ter was tried for high treason; the day when the house of commons moved for the mpeachment of Lord Lovat; the days when Charles I.and Queen Caroline were put upon irtian 'Rnhort Emmat W&S ?T. .J.XCU) k uu uuj nuvM *?ww?v i aigned as an insurgent; the day when Slennerhasset was brought into the court oom because he had tried to overthrow the * Jnited States Government,and all the other rreat trials of the world are nothing comjared with the great trial in which you and shall appear, summoned before the Judge >f quick and dead. There will be no pleadng there "the statute of limitations," no 'turning state's evidence," trying to get >ff ourselves while others suffer; no "movng for a nonsuit." The case will come on nexorably, and we shall be tried. You, i ny brother, who have so often been advo- A :ate for others, will then need an advofeate JU or yourself. Have you selected Him, the I Lord Chancellor of the Universe? If any a nan sin, we have an advocate, Jesus Christ :he righteous. It is uncertain when your :ase will be called on. "Be ye also ready." i Lord Ashburton and Mr. Wallace were J leading barristers in their day. They died ] ibout the same time. A few months before I ?eir decease they happened to be in the I iame hotel in a village, the one counsel ' J ?oing to Devonshire, the other going to f.nniinn. Thev had both been seized unon . sy a disease which they knew would be fa:al, and they requested that they be carried ;nto the same room and laid down on sofaa, side by side, that they might talk over old limes and talk over the future. So they ivere carried in, and, lying there on opposite sofas, they talked over their old iontests at the bar, and then they :alked of the future world, upon which ihey must soon enter. It was said to have 5ee"n a very affecting and solemn Interview oetween Mr. Wallace and Lord Ashburton. My subject to-day puts you side by side svith those men in your profession tfho i tiave departed this life, some of them skep:ical and rebellious, some of them penitent, immiiita nml Christian. Those were wan iering stars for whom is reserved the slackness of darkness forever, while these ithers went up from the courtroom of earth to the throne of eternal dominion. Through Sbrist the advocate these got glorious icquittal. In the other case it was a hopeess lawsuit?an unpardoned sinner versus :he Lord God Almighty. Oh, what disas:rous litigation! Behold, he comes! The fudge, the Judge, the clouds of heaven, :he judicial ermine, the great white throne, < ;he judicial bench, the archangel's voice 1 :hat shall wake the dead, the crier, "Come, e blessed; depart, yecursed!"the acquittal )r the condemnation.
