LETTERS PTO THE BRITOR., Chirograpby.
For the second time, Prince Bismarck, the German Chancellor, has issued a ukase, ordering all functionaries of the Empire to write legibly, and Mr. Bright follows suit by declaring that legibility in hand writing should be cultivated, if for no other reason at leaat as an act of courtesy to the reader.
In Chancery Lane, London, there is a cOimpany composed of ladies, skilled in deciphering hieroglyphies in script, who reap a rich {harvest by type-writing the ideas of those who cannot make sense of them with the pon. Now our friends over the border, form tke only nation that nationally write distinctly, and whose signa- tures can be distinguished as the names of the writers. The bnsiness colleges are turning out lots of first-class petimen, and to-day the American, whichever side of the 49th parallel we look for him, knows that good writing is essential to securing a good commercial berth, and that without that the best accountant is discounted in the value of his services. Our own Commercial Cuilege here is also well abreast of the times ia this direction, as anyone may see for himself who will take the trouble. The Charlottetown, Business Coliege has a teacher and superintendent of penmanship eecond to none in the Dominion.
The blackboard of the College is always covered with beautiful examples of the art;
abundant evidence of Mr, William Munro’s mastery of writing.
The efforts however, to improve the popular fashion fof illegible writing, and to stamp the weakness asa sign of ignorance, and impolite carelessness, did pot always prevail with the public as it does now. There was a time and not so very long ago neither when ‘‘the 3 R’a” (viz. Read- inge, Writinge, and Rythewetick,) formed not pert of a gentleman’s ambitions to excel, and a good many curious things happeved in consequence, but we must pass them over, in justice to our subject. Lat us instead, look a little at the experis of the olden tyme. and most eminent writing masters (some three centuries ago) was one Peter Bales. He wrote tho Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, the Decalogue, with.two short prayers ia Latia, his own names, motto, the day of the month, year of our Lord and reign of Queen (Elizabeth) to whom he after-

Why should suitors be kept in town for a mouth waiting for their cases to be tried? Why should witnesses be compelled to spend a month about the Court aie try- ing to kill time, until some cause on which they had been subpcenaed is called ? should Judges be forced to take down extenso, evidence, much of which they have, in the end, to discard as useless, which consumes a great deal of time in taking down? And lastly, why should impoverished treasury of the drawn upon to pay for all this waste time ?
It is very well, you may say, to point o the need of reform, but it is quite another thing to provide aremedy. ‘To méet that objection I suggest a double remedy. The suggestion may be crude, but it is open to others to improve upon it. It is, im the first place, that the Government /employ a short-hand i ‘whose duty it would be to take down all the evidence, arguments, objections, -&c., in fact all thé proceedings in the ‘causes heard, and. who would furnish « copy to the dndge and the counsel. on each. ‘side. This in itself would shorten. the | trial of causes by half, as the Judge being ‘now obliged to take down the evidence, &c., fully, cannot expedite proceedings a he otherwise would. It takes considerable time for a man not a short-hand writer, to note down everything a witnees says, and ‘besides it is most laborious work. The ‘saving in the two cases I referred to would {this year have alone paid a reporter for the whole Island for the whole year, and the ‘Government would save a good many ‘hundred dollars by the transaction. The Gillis trial, which lasted a week, might have been shortened in the same way ; and

The Supreme Court.
Six,—Is it not time that steps shonld be taken to accelerate the trial of cases in our Supreme Court? Could. any thinkin; have listened to the proceedings in the iwo 1or three cases which were tried during the ‘late session of the Court here, without |coming to the conclusion that thore is j}ample room for improvement! Take the j}two cases of Pearson ys, Sherran and | Henry vs. Laird. The former occupied five |days, and the latter, according to your | report, fifteen days, and I have no hesita- (tion in saying that under an improved ‘system the two could have been disposed of ‘in half the time. Hour after hour—and, I | think i may add, day after day, were con- |
sumed in wearisome and almost intermin- jable examinations and cross-examinations of witnesses, while suitors in other cases had to bide their time with such patience ‘as they could commend, wondering if the ;end would ever come. Witnesses had to | wait for the trial of cases in which they had ,no personal interest, and for their ‘attendance they would receive scarcely sufficient to pay for their dinners. The Judges, probably the hardest worked and most thoroughly disgusted men in the Court, were compelled to take down the huge mass of evidence and to reduce it into shape. A | most laborious and tiresome task they must |have found it, and after all this labor and jexpenditure of time and patience, four fifths of what the witnesses said were not so much as referred to by Counsel or Judge. Why?! Because of its irrelevance, or for some equally good reason. The Province, the revenue of which is not too large for
‘a large sum, which, a member of the | Government tells me exceeds $100 a day, | for every day the Court sits. And after ;all, the cases on the docket are not tried. | With the exception of the case of Henry, ,vs. Laird, which was a special jury case jand the Absent Debtors’ ceases, not one case ‘in the new list of causes came on for hear- ing. More than that, several suits which had to stand over from last summer ;did not c.me on for trial, and have ‘to siamd over again until next summer. Now, I think mogt of your readers will agree with me that it is quite time a reform ; was effected. Why should a case take a fortnight that might be tried in a week }

| the only son of his father, who was the only json of the John Lomas who left the money. |This John Lomas lived at Derby on his
‘estate; he had an only ron, George Lomas, who left home, joined the army, and married; during
his life as a soldier he went with his regiment (the 37th) te Jamaica, where he died, and the widow with her only child (John Staxby) went back to England ; there he lived with his mother at his mater- nal grandmother's, in Manchester, till he , was 17, when he ‘listed in the 36th, and )from that volurteered to the 62nd when it ‘went out tothe Crimea, He went through that campaign, and in 1856 came to this city. The year following he became of age, and received a letter from his mother telling him of his grandfather's property, and that he should take steps to get pos- session. P. C. Hill was mayor of this city at the time ; all the necessary docu- mentary evidence was gathered, and Mr. Lomas gave an uncle, then residing in London, power of attorney to act for him, ‘and sent the papers. For some time nothing was heard, and enquiry at last re- sulted in an answer ‘‘ that on the way to , Derby the attorney had got more than half seas over” at Birmingham, and the papers had been stolen from him. All his work having gone for nothing, and having spent what money he could spare, Lomas gave the job up in disgust, and it has Jain dor- ment till the paragraph appeared saying that by order of the court the estate was to be divided,
The matter has been placed in the hands of Henry, Ritchie and Weston, and if, after 80 many years, the evidence necessary can be adduced to prove his claim, Mr. Lomas may yet be able to spend the declining side _of life waited upon instead of waiting.

A St. Louis doctor is credited with having cut off the tails of two lizards and united the animals by sewing the stumps together, thus making a species of Siamese twins. The object of the experiment was to ascertain if blood could be transfused by this method; and one writer maintains that if, for example, a weak and biocodless invalid were attached in this manner toa sirong and healthy animal, the result must be favorable to the invalid. Dr. Roussel, of Paris, is said to have met with encour- aging success in such an experiment.
