Advice is seldom welcome if given
unsolicited. It is not well to turn a
deaf ear to the admonitions of your
It lends, but the officious services oi'
the professional advice giver are un
bearable. No matter what your pro
fession or business may be, you have
all met the man who insists on telling
you of your failings, financial mis
takes, etc. He is as old as the globe
and came in with the climate. He
never tires of informing you how
much better he could manage your
business, and how much faster he
could gather in the ducats, if he were
only in your place. I honestly believe
that part of the flood was gotten up
as a farewell benefit performance in
the interest of the first advice giver.
Providence proved cruel to future
mankind, and permitted him to stow
himself away in the hold of the good
ship Ark, and escape Captain Noah’s
vigilant eye until they were many
days at sea. We meet his descend
ants everywhere. He has at
especial pick at the hard-working
scribe of the country press. He
glories in telling the publisher that
he must give more reading matter to
the square inch and less advertising
to the page, if lie wishes to hold his
subscribers. He doesn’t seem to
realize that advertisements mean
Dread and butter, while a deliquent
subscription list means—well, a new
word will have to be coined to express
at. He gently insinuates that the
obituary of his friend Simpkins was
not as glowing a tribute to the memo
ry of the deceased as he expected.
Nine oat of ten times he is a man who
can’t tell the difference between a
pay lo io cal announcing that cabbage
plants are ripe and an editorial on
Cleveland’s policy. He frequently
tells the harrassed knight of the
Faber that he should make a better
local paper, and should also come out
stronger in his political articles and
yet be mild enough to retain his sub-
scriibers of the oposite faith. We
.ihave known a pronounced prohibi-
ctionist, editor of a temperance or
igan, lo make a wild break for a
rsaloon after half an hour’s conversa
tion with an advice fiend. He would
-worry El Mahdi into the delirium
tremens and convince him that he
■' knew nothing of war in fifteen min-
sutes. A conceited man who talks of
^himself can be borne, but nitro
'glycerine is too good to associate
with the roan who is continually
meddling with theaffairs of other
^people. He turns out more suits for
•di voirce than Gold Feet, Mother in
iLaw, Hncongenialness and Com-
jP any.
£Tn Randolph court last week
oJudge John T. Clark said, that a
:game of billiards played where the
one who is beaten pays for the game
is gambling. He further said, that
billiards being a game of chance,and
.{therefore a gambling game.that per-
,-sona keeping tables at private dwel
lings are liable to prosecution when
»aninorsaje allowed to play. Another
prominent revelation of the Judge’s
was that grand jurors over the age
- of 60 yeafs are not qualified rnem-
rbers. In view of this fact several
it rue hills Cow ud by the grand of la»t
.-session, which had members over
r®0 years of age, were aolle pressed
i by the prosecuting counsel. Such
.casesthough,wera.igain placed before
the present sitting jury, and bills
wero again found against such
violators.
