New London Notes.
At the ajjourned sitting of the County Court, yesterday, Judge Alley gave his de cision en.that netorions. own asthe Smith vs. Stew suit. Alter » congise and very able review of the evidence on both sides, and quoting precedents from eminent British jurists, he gave judgment against the plaintiff. From the satisfied smile that ssttled on the faces of nineteen. twentieths of thoge present, you could easily guess they were well satisfied with the just- ness of the verdict, as is almost always the case in his decisions, the defeated always excepted.
Owing to the mild weather and absence of frost there are no prospectors to be seen on the ice yet, marking out claiine ; but as soon as Mr. Jack puts in an appear- ance this locality will present.a hive of busy workers ; horses of every grade, qual- ity and complexion, from the prancing steed down to the slow-moving ‘‘snow- bank,” will be seen in hundreds, aseisting the thrifty farmers of this and srr und- ing districts, in hoisting mud for the coming season.

Was Milton, Too, 2 Plagiarist ?
An extraordinary work has just been pub- lished by Messrs. Trubner & Co., bearing the title of ‘‘Milton and Voudel,” in which itis shown that the author cf ‘* Paradise Lost” borrowed his plot and the best part of his world-renowned epic from the works (of Joost van Vondel, the eminent Dutch poet, whose ‘* Lucifer ” saw the light in | 1664, four entire years before Milton began ‘his mesterpieces. This is a startling book. 'lis author is Goorge Edmundson, M. A,
;nose College, and uow Vicar of Northolt, jin Middlesex. He shows, im a mavoner {thought to be conclusive, that three, tat least, of Milton’s so-called ori- {ginal poems, ‘‘ Paradise Lost,” ** Para- |dise Regained” and ‘Samson Agonister,”’ | were built upon the ‘‘Lucifer,” the ‘‘John |the Baptist” and the “Samson” of Vonce', | Some of the finest poetry of Milton he dis- icoversin the Datch post, almost word for | word, so far as difference of language will ba aeaale.

In the seventh chapter of this bouk, which is devoted to Getting Money by Merchandizieg, occurs a paragrapli which may very well be quoted in anewet ‘o both the enquiries of our correspondent. Lt is 96 follows :
‘‘Is lying necestary in buying and se 1+ ing? This question needs but a short answer; if it is necessary, (hen buying ond selling are sinful, which is absurd, Mung of the assertions in bargaining are more badinage ; they are substitutes for want of eumething better to say, and are generally an indication of poverty of wit. Mang cf the falsehoods in trade are about irrelevant Taatters, not pertinent to the bargain. Cost is a matier never pertinent to a dele. It is not to be presumed that a man whe is in his right: mind is selling at cost, and what he psid for his gvods is an in‘eresting enquiry, of no practical importance. The racsons which make a wan anxious to tell are sometimes, bv! rarely, necessary to bea mentioned. ying seems to be «a natural defect in rome men, end must be viewed in tas. kame light as the well-known natuzal propensity for stealing, In other men it is a confirmed habit ; they have lived go ler « and so often that it has become a ercond nature to them. Leqnactous mon cannot always command the time necessery to sep and recoliect the truth. Butin noinstance is the ability to lie # qualification of a good bayer or an expert salesman.”
This last sentence may siund like queer doctrine. im an” age ’such as the present, when it may be as aptly sai! ss in tho days of that old ®camp, Falsteff, ‘* Leid, lord, how this world is given to lying.” Indeed, to go still further back, it was known ‘o Ee- clesiasiicus that ‘‘ Sin doth stick between the buyer and seller as a nail between the joinings of stones.” Bat heppily there are net wanting instances of adberenee to truth and fair dealing on the part of merchants which brought success and fortene. The late H. B. Claflin of New York was a shin- ing example. It cannot be denied that a truthful merchent in competition with un- ecrupulous ones is handicapped in the race, for the world likes to be humbnyged, and will swallow quantities ef cleverly ccn- sirucied lies if they point to an advantage to be obtained in a bargain. Hence the honest dealer requires to bo armed at all peints. His goods must be well bought, well displayed, well judged in quantity and variety for his market, Hoe must see that the lying, cheating dealer has no advantage that can be guarded against. The honest merchant must be honesily served; he cannot afford to have leaks about his establishment, whether they are caueed by careless methods, thieving emp)cyees, short deliveries or what not. He cannot afford to give full weight and not be sure that he receives full weight or measure, Not only must he ‘‘to hie faith add virtue, but io yirtue knowledge.” Brotherly-kineness and charity will work him injustice if he does not see thot he gets his rights as well as givethem. In closing we must re-cflirm the trath that honest dealing can be made to pay; indeed itis the only standard that a young merchant should set before him.
