LA"W PRACTITIONERS. '/

(To the Editor.) Sib,—Permit me a few -words in'reply to Jns' illiberal reflections under this caption in your lait i3*ue. Starting with the amrmation' that h there is not tho remotest chance of Sir George Grey succeeding in carrying the Bill, which ho has drafted for the purpc.se of throwing"dowa the barriers of pxclusiveness. that shutontr&a children of the lower classes from a!leeal career, hewentonto Inveigh against tho,ipropo3al aa likely to derogate from the dignity and lower the standard of learning characteriitio of the Ear.1 I deny that any of these results is likely to ensue from the intended reform, and I maintain.that It is one which the public should heartily and strenuously support. How can " Jus" with any pretence of decency assert that the passing ot the Bill would lead to "the swamping ofthe profession with ignorant and incompetent men," when it was explicitly stated by your Welling ton correspondent in the telegram from which " Jus" derives his information that a sine qua non to the admission to practice is the success ful passage of examinations at stated, periods. These could easily be made severe enough" to perpetuate the present standard, which isby no means such a high one as to justify. "Jut's 1. vapouring about "learning. By all means let ug sot our faces resolutely against unnecessary con- cessions to ignorance, but at the same time let us not be persuaded into respecting an unfair monopoly ot a lucrative profession by the plau9ible sophistries of those whoaie interested in minimising competition to the lowe3t limit,' The le»al profession in Auckland, sir, is virtually closed to the deserving children of the poorer clas3e3 by reason of the ex treme difficulty of getting any solicitor to article lads however bright they may be without the payment of a substantial premium, while there are instances ot reoent pp. currence that may be cited of oppressive conditions tmnj? exacted for the puruose of diaconraging young men from qualifying them selves for the forum, None but the avaricious, the incapable and the unskilful, can be afraid of throwing open the profession to the free com petitionof theeducatedyouthof thecouutry.asin the strugglo the best men will assuredly come to the front, and the worthless go to the wall. The public will have discernment enough to entrnst their business to the most competent hands, and they will also reap the bene llt of more reasonable...fees, better ser vice, and increassd encouragement for the education of their children. I urge no plea for a relaxation of the severity of educational or legal tests, but I appeal to every man's sense of f-iir play, if the members of a remunerative calling should be allowed »to close up- the avenues of competition for their own aggrandisement. The night of monopolies, ex elusive rights, and vested interests ia passing away, and the rising snn of true liberalism is darting its radiant beams athwart the fast dissipating mist of error, class prejudice and credal bigotry. Sir George Grey, lam sure, has the popular sympathies with him in ma un? salfishundertaking.-lam, Bure, JrjEß, NON DONO..

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE

U.S. RICHMOND,

A very serious accident occurred on board the U.S. Richmond on the morning of the 20tb, during a salute which was being fired in honour of H.E.'Admiral Duperte^o; the French corvette The'nris. An explosiou took place before the breach of the saluting gun was closed, which resulted in serious injury to three men/ The armourer, McKinnis, who was ju9t ramming another charge home, aad was standing in front ot the 'gun when the -car« fridge exploded, was the most seriously wounded, having his left arm blown off, and being otherwise dangerously hurt. Aa ordinary seaman named Trout had one eye blown out, and the gunner, Mr Watk'insj was also badly wounded. A noble act was performed by one of the gunners, who was himself knocked down by the cxplbsiobj He had the presence of mind and coolness to quickly stanch the bleeding of the wounded man's arm by making a bandage of a neeker> chief which he took from his own :neck; thereby in all probability saving his life. The cause of the accident ia presumed to have arisen from an ignited piece of tie previously discharged cartridge bag being blown back by the wind, which ma blowing from the direction the gun was fired, and which is thought to have set'fire to the newly inserted cartridge, thus causing the explosion. The gun had teen fired in the same manner for the last 1 wo: and1 A half years. ;

HUNTING PIRATES; ; '

The German gunboat Iltis and: ;the Chinese gunboat Chen-to returned, to-.rjay from their cruise in search of ..the pirate^" junk by which the German barque Occident was ransacked and gutted, and. they report having made every possible endeavour, to find the perpetrators of the desperadoes and their craft, but without success, So tar, aa the German Navy is concerned | tho "search," if it can be called so, may'now be said to be at an end, unless some more distinct information justifying special measures is placed before the authorities'; and we presume the Chinese gunboat people will not proceed further in the affair unless outßide pressure of ' some kind' or other is .brought to bear upon them/; f*'

JIoCa" rA.nder33n says (Clinical Lectures, page 22):—" These remarks are specially called for at the present time, when so muoh scepli cißm is abroad with regard to the value oi medicines, and when even distinguished phys cianu are deluging over periodicala with views subversive of tha usefulness of certain remedial measures, becauso forsooth the theorie3 upon which they are based are incorrect. Lot us bo scientific i£ you like; but when well-grounded experience in the treat ment of disease clashes with the result of scientific research, let ua cling to the former; for while the one is too often based upon theory, tho other is founded upon fact." Dr. Milner FothergM (Practitioners' Hand Book, page 1781: -" What is of much more im portance to us here is the question of what are the ciroumstancog which affect tubercle; which keep it away or encourage its advances, or which arrest its progress when established, ana stay it ravages. The hopeless pathology of Laennec and Carswell had nothing but a grave as the future of those who were smitten with tubercle. Now wo know that recovery from conditions actually tuberculous, or .tending to tubercle, is very common." The wonderful effect of Aickin's Syrup of Eucalyptus, with Hypophosphates of I.ime and Quinine, in the treatment of Pulmonary and Bronchitio Complaints, verifies Dr McCall Anderson's statement (page 180, Clinical Leotures-Galloping Consumption): '-That such then, are the kindof of cases which should be brought under the notice of those who, in these days of scoptioi«m, are inclined to aneer at the eftioacy of drugs." The Syrup of Eucalyptus, with Hyoophos phites of Lime and Quinine, is not a Prk tkntiocs nostrum, but a simple Pharmtt ceutical preparation, comblni-g valuable agents that are chemically and physiologically compatible, and much recommended by eminent modern physicians as being spaciflcally adapted for the diseases indicated in this notice. Before confidently recommending this remedy to those afflicted with.Chest Complaints, tha proprietor has an abundant proof of its efficacy. Constantly recurring evidence is affordod of tne great relief to sufferers, many of whom tender voluntary testimony. Addreaa: IHE PHARMACY, QIHENT-STIIEI.T, ACCHXaND.
