LIVING BY THEIR WITS.
Bo* Attorney* Soliomo to Win a I,lvin*
at the liar.
IDotroit Post.]
“How can nil these lawyers earn their liv
ingi'’ asked a reporter of one of the oldest
members of the bar.
“Tho lawyers have no difficulty in making
•>nough to live on. There is n comparatively
small number of these among the 300 attor
neys. Os course it is simply impossible for
300 men in a city of this size to eke out a
subsistence by the use of their legal lore. A
great many are young men who have not
worked up a practice and cannot
be expected, however shrewd they may be.
to earn a living. Then, too, the city has its
full quota of shysters and pettifoggers, who
resort to all schemes to earn a dollar. If
you will take a court docket and look it
through you will find that about forty law
yers have most of the business. If the law
business were equally divided there would be
enough to support all of the profession in the
city, but tliore are several who make $20,000
or $30,000 a year.”
“How do tho rest live?”
“In various ways. Some have money to
live on inherited from their lathers, some
have rich wives, many combine their law
practice with real estate and insurance busi
ness, but there are more than people suppose
who are living from hand to mouth, hardly
knowing whore the bread for the next meal
is coming from. There is another class
which, lam sorry to say, is not a small one,
and which is the disgrace of the profession.
It is the class of dead-beats who in some in
scrutable way gain the title of attorney-at
law. They make it a business to squeeze a
client as long as anything can be gotten
from him one by pretext and another. At one
time they will want money for officers’ fees,
but the money never reaches the officers.
At another time it is to pay for counsel or
for ‘expenses.’ There are thousands of ways
that are used to get money from an un
suspecting client. Many of this class have
no office. They sponge their stationery off
the county, beat landlords out of board bills,
and borrow money until their credit is
gone.”
“Do lawyers ever seek out business?”
“Certainly they do. I know of lawyers in
this city who make it a practice to hunt up
persons injured on the railroads and induce
them to bring suits for damages. In these
cases tho most of the lawyers’ fees are often
made contingent on the success of the suit.
A close watch is kept for every accident,
for scandals, family disputes, or property
litigation. Immediately any promising case
is developed the lawyer approaches the vic
tim and generally succeeds in being re
tained.”
“Is this system pursued successfully in
criminal cases?”
“Yes, and much more easily than in civil
cases. I don’t know how it is now, but a
few years ago I have a positive knowledge
that there was a combination of certain law
yers and dolectives and other officers. The
detective u.ed to get a percentage of the
fees in all the eases he would bring to the
lawyer he had bargained with. It was very
easily managed. Criminals very frequently
consult tho officers as to a suitable attorney
to employ, and the advice of the officer is
usually followed."
Colored Wedding in Slavery Times.
[Woodford Sun.]
Thomas M. Fiold has written out from
memory a description of a colored wadding
under the old regime which he says use! to
be related with gusto by Maj Herman Bow
mar: A tall, dignified and clerical
dressed looking negro (Tom Menzies), offi
ciating, said in pompous tones:
“Silence in dis ’sembly. Here is a couple
who have walked out to-night, wishing to be
jined in and thro’ love, and wishing ail dem
dat have anything twixt dem come forward
and speak now; if not, kt dem hold der
peace now and forever more. I wants every
ear to hear, and every heart to enjoy.
“Mr. Irvin Johnson, whomsoever stands
fastly by your left side, do you take her for
your beloved wife, to wait on her through
sickness and through health, safe and be
safe, loving and beloving, holy and be holy;
do you love her mother, do you love her
father, do you love her sister, do you love
her brothers, and, above all, do you love
God de best? Answer, I do.
“Miss Mary Jones, whomsoever stands so
fastly by your right side, do you take for
yoUr loving husband, to wait on him,
through health and through confliotion,
through affliction and conviction, safe and
be safe, holy and be holy; do you love his
mother, do you love his father, <io you love
his master, do you love his mistress; but
above all, do you love God the best? An
swer, I do.
“I command you, Mr. Irvfti, to hold Miss
Mary so fu-tly by de right hand, and by au
thority pronounce you both to be man and
wife, by the commandments of God. What
God jines together let not man ’sunder.
“Wo shall hope and trusting through God
and His ’l’ostles that you may live right,
and that you may die right, now and for
evermore. Now, Mr. Jim, s’lute your bride.

Horses* Fear of Camels.
[Chicago Times ]
Horses have a natural dislike of camels in
mass, and can scarcely be induced to charge
upon a body of these desert animals, even
when they are lying down and tied. This
dislike of the horse for the camel was pointed
out by Herodotus in his account of the great
Persian war, when Croesus, king of Lydia,
was defeated by his cavalry horses fleeing
as soon as they scented the camels. That he
has not got over his cowardice since Hero
dotus’ time is not very creditable to the
reasoning qualities of the horse.
Oranges from Mexico.
[lnter Ocean.]
Mexican oranges are now being received
in Chicago in excellent condition. They are
pronounced superior to the best Florida
oranges in the market. They are rich in
color, and juicy and sweet, with thin rind.
The trade in this luscious fruit, with in
creased facilities for direct shipment, will
doubtless roach large proportions.
Bettor Than Oil.
[Scientific Exchange.]
A mixture of glycerine and spirit is rec
ommended, instead of oil, for use on stones
employed in sharpening tools. For tools
with a relatively large surface the mixture
should be three parts gl3-cerine to one of
spirit, the proportion of glycerine being
made larger for finer tools.
American Institute on Grapes and Wine.
A Committee from the Farmer’s Club of
the American Institute, appointed to visit
Vineyards and Wine Cellars, and examine
into American Wine culture, report that the
Wines of Alfred Speer, at Passaic, New Jer
sey, are the most reliable to be obtained, and
that his Oporto Grape makes a Port Wine
equal to any in the world.

A WEALTHY FARMER’S
RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
Take Special Note, of the Following History of
a Very Interesting Case.
Near the thriving village of Dundee, a few
miles west of that queen of the lakes of cen
tral New York, Seneca, lives Mr. Daniel Sup
plee, a gentleman of about 70 years. Mr. Sup
plee owns a very large and highly cultivated
farm, which has tor many years had the en
viable reputation of being the best farm in
all that section. Every crop he plants seems
to thrive, and his advice is much sought by
youngerand less experienced farmers. “About
two years ago,” MrSupplee writes, “1 suffered
from a very severe attack of diabetes. It re
duced me in flesh so that I was only skin and
bones, and my skin was shriveled and wrin
kled badly, my urine contained such a large
percentage of sugar that when it was spilled
the sugar would crystal i/.e so as to make a
coating plainly visible. My life was despaired
of by my family and physicians. Commenced
using Hunt’s [Kidney and Liver] Remedy at
thisstage ofmy sickness; I improved steadily
and was cured, and am now able to again per
sonally superintend the management of my
extensive farming operations. Hunt’s [Kid
ney and Liver] Remedy is a grand medicine
for Diabetes and all Kidney Troubles.”
\ gentleman hearing of these sacs and
wishing to kow further of the matter for him
self, wrote to Mr. C. I*. McLean, a large dry
goods merchant and grocer, of Dundee, and
la man of great integrity and worth, asking
for information in the matter. He received
the following reply:
Dundee, N. Y., Jan. 3,1885.
Dear Sir: Yours of 2d inst.. at hand this
morning. I would say that I think the use of
Hunt’s [Kidney and Liver] Remedy in Mr.
Daniel Supplee’s case certain!!/ saved his life.
He was going down very fast previous toils
use and began to show an improvement soon
after he began to take the Remedy. Mr. W.
B. Wlghtman, Wholesale Grocer, Providence,
R. 1., is also knowing to 'ell facts in Air. Sup
plee’s case. Yours truly,
C. P. McLEAN.
WEST SHORE R. R. CONDUCTOR.
New York, January 23, 1885.
HUNT’S REMEDY CO.:
Gentlemen— Having been afflicted with a
severe attack of Kidney trouble, which disa
bled me from my business. I was persuaded
by a friend on the train lo try Hunt’s [Kid
ney and Liver] Remedy, as he recommended
it in the highest possible terms as a sure cure
for Kidney Disease and all troubles of the
Urinary Organs. I began to improve rapidly
soon after I commenced taking the Remedy,
and it has cured me, besides, as I believe,
saving me from a long sickness. I have fre
quently recommended Hunt’s [Kidney and
Liver] Remedy to my afflicted friends, and its
use has always resulted In restoring them
rapidly to health. I deem it a duty as well as
a privilege to recommend so good and relia
ble a medicine as I have proved Hunt’s ]Kid
ney and liver] Remedy to be. ___

DEAF AND BLINIb
How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street, Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter 'earned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tas’e any
thing excepts ilt. Her bones became the seat
ol intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use ot herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired ol
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. _ _ _
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use ot six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
I now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter. _
“Botanic Blood Balm-B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a-ted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use, and
its action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
statea, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wonderful cure in inis
well-known case. ~
