A Slap at the Lawyers.

A very respectable, honorable set Of fellows
are the lawyers in the main, and not at all the
out and out rascals which they are represented to
be. So far as our knowledge goes, they arc much
like other men-neither better nor worse class
but undoubtedly subjected to certain tempta-
tons peculiar to their profession, from which
other men in other callings are exempt. TO an
attorney, nice little quarrel, in legal way, has
the same sort of interest that compound fracture
of a leg or arm has to his neighbor, the surgeon.
The physician loves 60 fees, and the lawyer loves
" costs, pastime which, when kept within
moderate bounds, is at the worst, only a sort Of
g amable weakness, that ought not to be Judged
with severity. But sometimes tho love of the
costs, becomes so extravagant and engrossing
in the minds of mere pettifoggers, as to form the
"onc indea" of their cogitations and pursuits.
1t was of this sort Of animals that old Counsellor
Slower, of Essex county, New York, made, one
day i'll court, the following caustic observations:
They are incapable ofconceiving ofheaven, but
as court Instituted for the special benefit OF the
profession and of which Christ is the clerk Of the
records; and who in saying the Lords prayer,
make characteristic interposition, and read

A HoosIER IN BosroN.-The editor of the
Cincinnati Inquirer, writing from Boston, tells the
following story:
Western folks feel in this city though in
strait waistcoat, for their personal freedom is so
hedged in that personal freedom of action is gone.
Those addicted to smoking especially, feel twice
the desire to promenade the streets, cigar in mouth
from the bare fact that the enemies of the fragrant
weed have forbid its in the streets of Boston,
| heard an excellent anecdote of the adventurea
of live Hooser in this city, which illustrates
the municipal regulations of this mummy dissec-
ting city, better than u book After n good din
ner at his hotel, he ignited cigar and started out
for stroll. After few steps a policeman tap
ped him on the shoulder, and informed him that
the penalty was two dollars for the offence of
smoking He promptly pulled out five dollar
bill, and received three in change. Proceed
ing on his walk, in few minutes he next met
a beggar girl who asked for something to eat
Recollecting that he had the remains of hunk of
gingerbread the peculiar diet Of Hoosierland in
his pocket, he generously protiered it to the men
dicant. Again was he tapped on the shoulder by
the policeman and told it was against the laws Of
Boston to give away offa, it all belonged to the
city, and requested two dollars more for his grave
offence. The three dollar bill was drawn out and
when the policeman rendered one in change it was
refused by the Hoosier, with the cool remark,
No, keep it, shall ,cam to 'chisle in Jtsp min

Mr.. ATCHISON moved that the Senate pro-
coed to the consideration Of Senate bill No. 81,
being the bill granting the State Of Missouri the
right of way and portion Of the public lands for
making a railroad from the town of Hannibal TO
the town Of ST. Joseph, in said State.
The motion was agreed to, and the bill was con-
sidered as in Committee Of the Whole.
Mr.. ATCHlSON. move to strike out all after
the enacting clause, and insert a substitute. This
bill is in conformity with the decision of the Sem
ate on bill of like character. Except the names
Of the towns at the tcrmini Of the proposed road
it is the bill passed by the Senate making like
donation of lands TO the State Of Illinois,
The amendment was agreed to.
The bill was then reported back to the Senate,
and the amendment concurred in. The bill was
ordered 10 be engrossed for third reading, and
was read third time aid passed.

On motion Of Mr. DAVIS, Of Massachusetts,,
the Senate proceeded to the consideration Of
House bill No. 81, being the bit! to provide for

purposes.

ding the following sections:

intent aforesaid and being thereof lawfully convicted shall
suffer inp hard labor for term not exceeding
ten years less than years, according To the agra
vatinu nf the offence.
SEC =. THIS bill shall bs in force from and after the
lst day of OctUber next ensuing"
That amendment is offered in consequence OF
the discovery of its necessity the recent trial OF
a person for arson in setting fire to a vessel, IN
which the indictment failed. II was the opinion
Of the Judge who tried that case that the language
of the statute was not broad enough, and to
remedy that defect this amendment has been pre-
pared. The other section requires no explanation.
II gentlemen desire any explanation Of the bill
itself, it can be given in few words. 1t makes
provision for recording the conveyances Of vessels
in such a manner that the fact shall have ample
publicity.

New Scientific Developments.

Before the American Scientific Association,
now in session al New Haven, Prof. Loomis.
OF New York, late Professor Of Natural Phi
losophy, a, Princeton College. delivered an
interesting lecture on Electricity, and made
se' eral new developments on the subjec. He
says many houses are highly charged with the
fluid, SO much so under favorable circUm-
stances TO give very sensible shocks. He
gives an instance of a lille girl who ran away
quito lrigh,ned. on touching The door handle of
one Of these Electrical dwellings. Sparks may
be drawn from various articles Of furniture, and
sometimes considerable shocks received, on
strangers shaking hands with the inmates Of
the house. II we were in the punning humor,
we would add that this phenomenon is often
produced without the agency Of EIec,riciry.-
The Professor accounts for these freaks OF the
fluid from the friction Of the feet on the carpet,
accumulated under circumstances of partial In
sulation. Professor Olms,ead of Yale, has
discovered some singular results from the mix.
Iure of lard and ro,in. The bes. proportions
for combination are lard 3 parts, rosin part,
BY weight The lard acquires an additional
fuidty, and loses its acidIlying properties,
which cOrrode the metals, copper aud brass, for
example. II may be used with equal advan-
Iage IN preventing rus. on stoves and slove-
pipes, and other articles of The same material.
Shaving soap is improved by il, and its appIi.
cation renders leather waterproof. Professor
0 failed in his experiments to improve The H.
Illuminating power Of lard lamps, by similar
mixture, but hopes the difficulties he encoun-
tered may yel be overcome. The discovery is
considered an important one, and productive of
many practical advantages
