      The Prostitute. When Applied To A Female...

      < j 0 we find' ? Why , that they have the appointment of their own minions and hirelings , as f udges of their own acts , and as defenders of \ heir own perfidy . If a Select Committee is to be appointed to inquire into the acts of the Government , or into the acts of men hostile to the Government , a Government official , a Goverament tool , a Government prostitute , is appointed upon that Committee , in the hope that he will be elected as its Chairman , and , in his situation of Chairman , he has a controlling power over the Committee .

      Hence , we find the delegation of this hired authority to officials , is a mask to hide the perfidy of the Government , while , in most instances , weak-minded and nervous individuals bow obsequiously to this authority , and surrender the independent spirit of the man to the subserviency of the hired prostitute , who , surrendering all feelings of honour , and pride , of consistency , and truth , volunteers the perform mce of the odious duty imposed upon him . And thus , with the machinery which

      treacherv , dishonour , and spyism , p lace at his command , he enters upon the degrading service as a volunteer , J who has surrendered all the best feelings of nature to the base purposes of faction ; and he must be an honest man , a consistent man , a bold man , and a man of nerve , who can stand up and defend himself against such appliances ; while , if possessed 01 those attributes , he will assuredly triumph over the machination of his enemies , and the hired subordinates .

      We shall one day draw a p icture , and a vivid and true one , of those cases of which we now give the mere outline , and then the reader will learn the snares with which their path , ^ nd the path of their friends is beset , and he will be able to discover the material difference between a male and a female PROSTITUTE .

      English Law In The Nineteenth Century. T...

      ENGLISH LAW IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . The sentences passed on the so-called Chartist rioters , during the last Sessions at the Ceetral Criminal Court , seem not to have attracted the attention they deserve , as witness the following casas : — A master cabinetmaker was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour in the House of Correction ; for merely raising his umbrella and crying . "Oh ! the " thieves ! " when he saw the police murdering the defenceless people .

      A p awnbroker ' s assistant , s well-educated and most respectable lad , was sentenced to Iwehe months ' hard labour , besides having been infamously treated by the police , he having been only a casual passer-b y at the time . Another lad was sentenced to twelve months ' hard labour , being merely charged with having his hand raised ia the air , without anything in it ! These are mere examples o the sentences in general . Be it remembered , also , that the Jury recommended the prisoners to mercy . This was the mercy of the Judge . Contrast it with the following sentence pronounced b y the same Judge : —

      A young thief , found guilty of passing counterfeit money , was sentenced to six months imprisonment . Trul y in the eyes of the law , a working man had better be a thief than a politician . Robbers have a fellow-feeling , even if they are in different branches of the profession .

      Parliamentary Review. The Onl Y Notable ...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The onl y notable Parliamentary topic this ¦ week , is a dispute , arising out of the Sugar Question , affecting the character of the Colonial Office , and by implication , of the Ministry generall y- Lord G . Bentinck , in the course of his speech on the West Indian Question , oa Friday , the 33 rd ult-, repeated more elaborately " a charge which he had previously preferred—namely , that most important despatches had been withheld from the Committee of which he was Chairman , and which was appointed to examine and report on the state of the Colonies , and the requisite

      remedies . In the first instance , one despatch onl y was mentioned as having been . suppressedthat of Sir Charles Grey , the G overnor of Jamaica . But Lord George , in repeating the -charge , entered into an elaborate narrative of facte , to prove that , besides that document , several other despatches from the Governors of other Colonies , had also been kept back . All these despatches were favourable to the views of the Protectionist Members of the Com mittee . and recommended a differential duty of

      one penny or twopence a pound , as a protection against competition with slave-grown sugar : " The Committee was very nicel y balanced on the subject , and the real gist of the charge is , that the Government suppressed all the evidence ( as far as the despatches received from the Governors of Colonies could throw lig ht upon the question ) , in favour of the colonists , while , at the same time , they hurried before the Committee documents sent by inferior Colonial officers , which were favourable to the Free Trade view .

      Mr Hawes , the Under Secretary for the Colonies , who was examined by the Committee about the time that Governor Grey ' s despatch arrived , affected to misunderstand the questions put to him , and ,, notwithstanding all the tact of Mr Goulburn , could not \> d brought to admit that such a despatch h < id . been received . This was somewhat singular , because , fay his own admission , the document was minuted by all through whose hands it passed , . as being rw-st important , and one tbatrequired * 3 Lo b :: imr . tiiiately laiJ before the Committee . g fe r m -if minuted it to that effect , as did r , ioH ' -r- * -. . the head of the office . Yet , Hot's : ¦ iin ubis admission of its importance , . vi-. M ^ . ' e its appearance until after the

      : ni / 'ut : « rr . iiad closed its proceedings , and !' .- •! h-t : to be forced out with other des-! r . ' . ? r , ia ; . formal motion of Lord G . Ben-: ¦ ' ,:, and further , a full month elapsed : er t / n-v vere ordered by the House before :-. -- . - ir . aik * iheir appearance . Under these :.

' V ' : •'• ' :. •; Office is conducted in the most , . - ¦; - . ! v . c reless , and disgraceful way , or ,,. .. i \ - -:. ; ids of that Office had deliberately os- }' . ' .

It is all very well to say that there must have been a " mistake "—that there was no " intention" of keeping back these despatches , and to throw the blame on the subordinates , of some unaccountable neglect . The fact stares

      everybody in the face , that all the documents ¦ which told in favour of the Colonists were kept back , while every scrap of evidence which "went against them , and which arrived at the same time , was sent to the Committee . It is impossible to account for this , except by one supposition , that it was done intentionally , and the " explanation '' of his own conduct , offered by Earl Grey , in the House of Lords , on Tuesday night , proves that this must have fceen the case . We do not mean to say that he admits the wilful suppression of the evidence . No ! Like his Colleagues , it is only a " mistake . " And he , too , is vastly and most vhtuouslv indignant at the idea that he would act iu such a way as that "imputed ^ to ] him .

      Parliamentary Review. The Onl Y Notable ...

      But in the very middle of these disclaimers , an 1 these boastings of his hig h honour and integrity , he admits having u ? ed a certain document in the House of Lords , in a way which is quite conclusive as to the political morality of the noble Lord . ¦¦ .- " - In the month of February , Lord Stanley brought the West Indian question before the Lords , and read documents to show that , in consequence of our Legislation , it was not possible to raise 1 , 000 Z . upon a single property in Jamaica , Trinidad , or Demerara . To this

      Earl Grey replied , as appeared conclusively . He stated , that he had received a document from Planters in the Western part of Jamaica , who stated , that since Emancipation they had invested not less than 142 , 000 / . in the purchase of Plantations in the Colony . He adduced this to show what a change of system was in progress in the Island ; and that in a few years the soil of Jamaica would be cultivated by Planters carrying on business tor themselves , and forming resident owners or lessees of the land . It will

      be remembered , that one favourite proposition by which the Whigs and Free Traders attempt to account for the ruinous position of the Planters is , that it is mainl y owing to the absentee proprietors having their estates extravagantly managed by agents . Such a statement as that of Lord Grey , seemed to back up that view , and to prove that if capitalists would only look after their own business , they would be able to compete successfully with tslave-gvown Sugar . Will it be believed , however , that the documents from which Lord Grev professed to quote this

      confirmation of his opinions , in reality contained facts directly the reverse ? ThelMemorialists stated that they did not expect any return for the 142 , 000 / . they had invested . They calculated a gross return of G 0 , S 00 J . for their then crop , to be p laced against a positive annual outlay of 60 , 300 / ., leaving only 500 / . to go towards the interest of the yearly expenditure , and totally precluding the recovery of a single shilling of the orig inal capital ; and ' they added , not only that they could not cultivate for another ' year themselves , but that unless some more effectual methods were taken of

      protecting them against slave-labour Sugar , cultivation must wholly cease in Jamaica . It will be seen , therefore , that the single fact of 142 , 000 / . having been invested since Emancipation in the island , was violently wrested from its connexion with others , and by a most dishonest distortion , made to produce an impression the very reverse of that the Memorialists intended . W hen charged with this distortion for such palpably dishonest purposes , Lord Grey replies , " I accepted the testimony of the memorial as to the

      factsof the case , but I did not abide b y its authority . in matters of opinion . " Why , the facts as to the number of tons of sugar to be expected from a given number of acres ; the price of sugar per ton , and the sum total which the p lanter would receive to cover his outlay , were all as much " facts of the case , " as the single fact of 142 , 000 / . having been invested ; and nothing but an utter absence of all sense of ri g ht and wrong , could cause any man to pursue so disgraceful a course .

      "We have dwelt at more length upon the subject than it deserves , if judged by its intrinsic merits ; but as a specimen of the morality of the men in office , and of the temper and spirit in which they administer the affairs of a great nation , its importance cannot be overrated . Notwithstanding the hack and hireling journals of the party abuse Lord G . Bentinck for having shown ' the ' paltry tricksters up , and affect to believe that the ' Ministry are entirely exculpated , there can be no doubt that the country at large will pass a just verdict upon the facts of the case .

      What with such quarrels and other obstructions to business , arising out of the inefficiency of our precious Ministry , business gets slowly on—they will neither do anything themselves , nor suffer others to do anything . Tuesday is now the only day open to individual members . Mr Ewart had a motion on the subject of the Equalisation of Taxation , for last Tuesday . It was an inconvenient one , and so the Ministers prevented a House from being made . Sir George Grey denied that that was the case , on W edne ? day ; but those who saw Mr Tuffneli , the Treasury " whipper , " drag out of the House into the lobby , more members than would have made up the required forty , know what reliance to place upon that denial .

      In short , what with the incompetency of the Ministry to transact business , the divided state of parties in the House , and the late period of the session , we may ^ expect to see it wind up with the beggarl y account of measures we have already so frequently presented , as the sole results of the first session of the new W hi g Parliament . It was boasted , when it was first elected , that it contained a greater numberof middle-class—and as a consequence , practical business men than had ever sat in any previous Parliament , Great expectations were entertained frem it . We put it to the middle-classes themselves , if ever in the history of Parliaments there was a more complete failure ? If the Ten Pound Franchise , and

      the middle-class representatives , can give usno better representation than this , every one must admit , that a Reform of some kind or other is exceedingl y desirable . The toiling millions of this country are , and have for a long period been , suffering most severely from the depression of trade , and the thousand and one burdens laid upon them by the unjust political , fiscal , and social arrangements . If Leg islation can do nothing to relieve their sufferingsif these institutions are unsusceptible of

      improvement—let us do away with the mockery of a representative system altogether . Bat it , on the other hand , it is believed that the wants and the intelligence of the whole people ought to be adequately represented in their own Chamber of the Legislature , and that throug h that medium alone can a firm foundation be laid for just and equitable laws , then it becomes the duty of every lover of his country to exert himself to the utmost , to procure a Radical and sweeping Reform in the system of sending representatives to that House .

      ' Union For The Aniion .' The Conference...

      ' Union for the aniion . ' The Conference which has just doted its sitting at Liverpool stands prominent above all its nredeces son for its hi gh tone of moral feeling and improved buiness arrangements . One sentiment seemed to pervade all hearts—not sullied by one particle of selfishness or ill feeling—a desire to perfect the good work so well begun . There never was a meeting of

      working rsen where so much and such important business was accomplished in so short a time , and with so total an absence of those bitter and acrimonious feelings which too frequently disfigure similar meetings . There was but one thing wanting to perfect tbe satisfaction felt by all who were present and assisted in its deliberation ; and that was the presence in renovated health of our beloved and honoured President . We are quite sure that he would have derived the highest gratification could he have witnessed the perfect harmony which prevailed . We venture to anticipate the happiest result

      consequent upon tins last session ot Labour ' s Parliament . The Central Committee will resume its duties with increased vigour , and find themselves stimulated to renewed activity , by the consciousness that their past conduct has been stamped by the approval of those whose interests they are so desirous of promoting . We look forward with perfect confidence to an immediate reaction—we are certain that the trades who have hitherto stood aloof from the movement will see the necessity of no longer obstructing so necessary an organisation .

      By the alterations which have been made in the laws , all parties can assist in forwarding the good work , without in any way interfering with existing societies ; and we trust that , before the year closes , we shall have a confederation £ 0 perfect and numerically powerful , as shall make proud capital confine its operations within those bounds marked out by justice and humanity . Among the alterations which have been adopted , the enlargement and more frequent publication of our Report is one of the most important , and best calculated to advance our objects . The Central Committee will turn their immediate attention to this subject , and endeavour to make the * Association ' s Report' under , perhaps , a more expressive name—a valuable medium of communication between the

      various bodies in connexion with us , upon all trades ' matters , and a powerful means of exposure of the disgraceful impositions practised by the unprincipled portion of the employers upon those within their power . We therefore trust our friends will make it their chief duty to aid , by every possible means , its circulation . With increased space , and more frequent publication , we shall be able more effectually to render it the truthful exponent ol those vital principles which , when properly understood , is destined to place labour in that dignified position originally assigned to it . We shall also be bettar able to expose the cobweb fallacies of that dangerous school of political philosophy , whose aim and end appears to be to reduce the manufacturing labourers of the British Isles to the condition of

      serfs . We also hope to be able , through its pages , to give constant evidence of the spirit of conciliation which is the fundamental principle upon which our Association is established , while , at the same time , we shall be found the unmitigated foes to the oppressors of labour . We shall invite all our friends to forward us their contributions and suggestions , to which its columns will always be open—subject , of course , to the usual editorial privilege of condensation and curtailment , when requisite . Its transmission free through the post , will enable the poorest of our members to indulge in the luxury of a weekly instructor at the smallest possible cost .

      We therefore hope they will assist us zealously and continuously in spreading the principle ol the Association , through the medium of tbe weekly report . It is the intention of the Central Committee to take the earliest opportunity of actively agitating the country ; and , in answer to the various applications which have been sent to tbe Committee on tbis subject , since the Conference , the Central Committee beg to say , that this agitation , -will commence as soon as tbe Central Committee have been able to clear off the business which has necessarily got into arrears by the Conference , and have perfected the new arrangements rendered necessary by the alterations in the laws , and the requisite revision and reprintinc the same .

      The report of the Conference proceedings will , we are sure , be read with deep interest . The report of the Committee , of the past year ' s proceedings , proves , we think , to demonstration , the infinite superiority of national over sectional organisation . The long catalogue of cases iu which , under the most discouraging circumstances , we have been enabled to obtain benefits for our members , proves tbe irresistible power of combined action . We have but to continue in the course so judiciousl y pursued hitherto , to place us in a truly proud position . In our next report we shall be able to present our members with an outline of our future arrangements , in connexion with the weekl y report .

      NOTICE . The new edition of the rules , with the various alterations and additions , passed by the Conference , are in the press , and also the new contribution card and will he forwarded to the members at the earliest convenience .

      Gbbat Tcbn-Oot at Bacdp , Lancaseibe , — On TburBday the 11 th of May , the hands employed at thir . teen mills in the above town , and its neighbourhood , left their employment , in consequence of notices of very iserious reduciions having been given on the part of the mill . owners , and which expired on that day . Attempta at arbitration were set on foot , and two of the magis . tratee , James Whitaker and George Ormond Esquire * actuated by the most praiseworth y and humane motives , called a meeting of employers , and one of the operatives from each mill , to meet them , with a view to bring about on amicable arrangemont , rather than rUk the alternative of a strike . On the day appointed the mtetiog was held at the Gaerge and Dragon Inn , Bucup ; the magistrates , together with seyen of the manufuc . turers , were In attendance . After a lengthenid

      discussion between the employer ! and employed , tho meeting broke up , without arrlrlng at any decision ; tbe hand ? , to tbe nunob . 'r of nearly two thousand , in consequence , have , during tha last seven weeks , been subsisting upon charity , at tho rate of one shilling per head per week , received from tho public , by going round the surround , intr . towns and villages biggiag br ^ ad , & o . The result of this attempt on tbo part of the employers , has reduced the operatives to tho lowest state of destitution ; and if may be easily conceived that , under such circumstancrs , tiitir privations must be of tbe most intense character . Tte handa at Bscnp , of late , have suffered very heavy reductions in wages , in common with other towns in Lancashire ; indeed a portion ef those now on strike bad but recently resumed work , after having been out for some seven or eight months ; andothera also have

      been out about fifteen or sixteen we < ks to tho present time . Tho reduction ? offered by tho manufacturers are various , varying from ten to twenty per ciut . This statement is set furth to the trades generally throughout the kingdom , to inducj them to take into their serious consideration the case of these oppressed men , whose nobis and gallant stand on tbis occasion , is worthy tbe attention of all who are interested in tbo preservation ol wages . One halfpenny per member frosa Trades Societies would pl « ce these poor men in a position which would effectually enable them to withstand this alarming aad mjust encroachment upon their means of living . It is to be hoped this appeal will not bo made ia vain . Con iributiona will be thankfully received and duly acknowledged by Mr Nuttnll , secretary , Watcr . street , near the Waterloo Hotel , Bucup ,

      Tho following resolution , in connexion with tho above case , was carried unanimously at the Conference of tht National Association of United Trades , held in Ltvtr . pool en Whit Monday : — ' That this Conftr . nce Is oi opinion that tho delegates on their return to their different districts do uss their best endeavours to collect monies to assist the Bicap trades ; and this Conference is further of opinion tbat the Central Committee ought to do all in its power for theso poor men , as we deeply sympathise with them .

      % S ~ VV * e warn our readers tkat the following account * of the working men ' s insmreetfion in Paris , i » for the most part taken from the daily journals , tho bitter enemies of working me » iri'a'l countries . In the early part of las ! , week tfbe Cemraittee of Workmen published a placard , wMdl'was postfd up In S ^ at number s on the walls of Paris , addressed to M . Goudchaux Afterremindinghitathatit wasby t" . e courage of the workmen that tbe revolution of February was effected , and detailing the calumnies that had been brought ' against the at elim natitmaux , it went on to say : —• Why these clamour ? , why these unjust accusations against the men of the national

      workshops ? It is not our wish to be without work : it is labour suitable to us that is wanting . Ve ask for it with all our hearts . What support have we ever given to any ot the riotous assemblages which have lately taken place ? What arrests havo been made from arnone & t our body ? It has teen said that the workmen prefer receiving If . 25 c . per day from the national workshops to earning 6 f . or 8 f . per day from their masters . Let those who make this charge point out the houses where such employment is to be found , and the names of those workmen who have refused it . Their place would be no locger in the national workshops . But it is not the reform of those establishments which you demand ; it is their entire suppression . You weuld doubtless prefer that the money disbursed for thi m sheuld be handed over to the manufacturers to enable them to take up their overdue bill . That is the reasoning of a brnker . The

      national workshops , instead of being a bad institu * tion , would bean admirable one , and , under wise and skiltul administration , would bo attended with the best results ; it is a good organisation that is alone wanting to it . Industry requires a nursery from whei . ee it could always be supplied with good woikmep . _ Citizen Goudchaux evidently wishes to stifle socialist ideas and a spirit of association , and it is doubtless for tbat purpose that he wishes to do away with the national workshops ; but let him not hope to attain his object ; he will no more succeed in disuniting ua than in removing from our minds and our hearts the dominant idea , the triumph of which is secure ! Workmen ! called to take part in the construction of the social edifice , organise , instruct , and raoralije the national workehopa , but do not destroy them . The Democratic Republic cannot wish fop uch a fatricidal act . '

      ( From tho correspondent of the Times . ) Paris , Friday . — 'Durirg several days , amid tho profound tranquillity that Paris appeared to enjoy , the agenti ol disorder have been busy in preparing a popular movement of a very alarming character . Ia alt the clubs , in-door and out-door , they have been stimul > , ting tbe people to rise and demand the liberation of il . Barbes , and . if it bu refused to proceed to Vineennes , and deliver him by force . Ia every possible case they have induced the people to sign a petition tor the release of M . Bathes , and a sort of pledge 11 restore hira to liteity , at the hazird of their l . vea . One hundred and fifty thousand men are said to have already signed this petition and this engagement , and these men are to assemble to-day , and carry their petition t ¦> the Assembly , They have ben collecting since an early hour this morning . ' We give the following account from the Journal des DtBATS of Friday : —

      For some days past the government , pressed by the energetic resolutions of tbe Assembly , has tonsidered it its duty to take measures for the dissolut ' on of the ateliers nationauz . A fre » h census has been made , and 12 , 000 men have inscribed their names as being ready to go t > e provinces wherever their services may be required . Some agitators went among them , aod endeavoured to excife discontent , by telling them tbat they would be ill-treated in the provinces , ana that those who had already gone had been I eaten by the country people . On Thursday morning a band > f about 400 wcrknEen ' proceeded to the Luxembourg , and demanded an interview with the Executive Committee . M . Marie consented to receive a deputation , and five of the number were introduced . The

      fcremoit of them wishing to addtesa M . Matie , the latter refused to hear him , telling him that as ho formed part of the band which had invaded the chamber , he could not consider him as the organ of the woikmen , and turning io the other ft ur f aid , ' You are not the slaves of tbat man , you can point out your wishes as well as he can . ' M . Marie , after listening with tho most patient attention to their comrlaints , sought to dissuade them from allowing themselves to be led away by aaifaters , who wished to put them into a state ot rebellion against authority and society . He fully as .-ured them that the govarnraent were z-akusly employed in considering of tha best means of improving their condition . It would appear tbat tbe delegates had not correctly reported to their comrades the remarks of M . Marie , for they said that he had called them slayes , Tbe whole band then fcejan to raise cries of ' A bas Marie ' . ' ' A baa

      la Commission Executive ! ' A bas I'Assembles !' Some of them ran towards the belfry of the Church of Saint Surplice , near which they had waited the return of their delegates , evidently with the intention of sounding the tocsin , but , fortunately their intention was foreseen and the door closed . The band thea proceeded towards the Faubourgs Saint Antoine and Marceau , gradually increasing in numbers as it went . In the evening it took up its station en the Place de la Bastille , and the Barnere du Trone . Commissaries of police received orders to proceed to the spat to disperse them . The only cries which were raised were ' Vive Napoleon' . ' ' Vive rEmpereur ' . ' 'A baa Marie ! ' ' Nous resterons ! ' The government fearing that these perturbators might proceed to the Assembly , ordered the armed force there to be increased , aud General Negrier , one of the questors of tha Chamber , took the command of all the troops on duty .

      ' Midnight . —The manifestations made during the day by a part of the workmen of the ateliers nattonaux caused agitation in Paris during the evening . The neighbourhood of the Hotel de Ville was crowded with people , and numerous bands were also assembled on different points of the Boulevards . At about eight o ' clock the Place du Pantheo t was covered with several thousand workmen , from whence they proceeded in a column , with a flig at their head , towards the Place de la Bastille and the Quartier Saint Antoine . Every precaution was taken at the Hotel de Ville , and after the above column had passed through it wss surrounded by ibe armed torce . The National Guards were called out by summons at their respective houses , but tbe rappel was not beaten ; and at ten o ' clock a larqe force took up their station on tho Place . At eleven o ' clock a bat "

      talionof the line march 3 d into the prefecture of police , and the peristyle of the Palais de Justice was guarded by a body of the Garde Mobbe , and at all the Maities a large force wai kept in reserve . The night passed off without any collision . '

      ( From the Times . ) THE INSURRECTION —TUB BARRICADES . Paris , Friday . Afternoon—Iho alarai was given and the rappel beaten this mcrning about nine o ' clock , at which moment va » t anxiety prevailed tb"Gughoat the metropolis . At that time I proceeded to the Hotel de Ville , near which a number of people had gathered togtther in small groups . The streets in the nfighbourhood cf tho Tuileries presented a similar appearance of anxiety . I have sin . e traversed almost all Paris , and found the same feelings

      prevailing everywhere- At about tho time that I reached the Hotel de Ville the insurgei . ts commenced throwing up barricades at tho Fortes St Denis and St Martin , the Faubourgs of tie same name , the Place de la Bastille and the Faubourg St Antoine . At about half-past ten o ' clock the conflict between them and the armed force commenced . A body of some twenty . five men , commanded by a captain , attacked a formidable barricade at the Porte St Martin . The barricade was finally captured and destroyed , but only after a hard conflict , in which many were killed and wounded .

      The barricades in the Faubourg St Martin were taken without much resistance . Son : c 200 of the insurgents had taken possession of the barracks in tha Faubourg St Martin , but tbey were soon expelled from them by troops of t he line , assisted by a body of National Guards . Some sharp fighting took place in' the old ground , ' the Qia'tierSt Mepy , and I am told that the slaughter was dreadful in the 12 th arrondisEcment , in which Barbes bad been elected Colonel of the National Guard .. While tho lighting was going on at the Porte St Martin the

      people were busily throwing up the barricades in tbe neighbouring Faubourgs . I was eie > , ped , 2 cannot say how often , and requested to contribute towards erecting the barricades by throwing up one paving stone—a contribution whieh nolxxiy * P nld .. re . u making to any barricade in construction that ba passed . « Un pave / ( a paving stone ) ' hll V 0 US plait , ' said they with infinite oivilitj . However , aa 1 had no time tolme I menac ed to pass everywhere by telling them that I was a phygieiajugoimj to visit patients ; and this assertion served r 4 ?
