He kneW Too Much.

Many years ago one of the wharves at
North End was used as a coal wharf,
the occupant of which had held it for a
long time as such. In his employ, as a
teamster, was an Irishman named VIII
liam B, who had driven his team so
long that it was question which own
ed it. He was a fixture, and the owner
thought he couldn't get along without
Billy. Now, said Billy was a sensible
man, who kept both eyes open, and
accordingly picked up a great deal of
information. AS both employer and
man were the possessors of more or less
Feasibility, frequent were their explo-
sions, and Billy was discharged at least
once day; but though frequently dis
chargcd, he never went off One day
the employer, during one of these pas
sages, burst out, cts no sort of use,
Billy, [ can't learn you anything at all,
and I have been trying for years. y
''Shure, an yez have then learnt me

that?" was asked. 81 shall be glad to
hear of anything you've learned :"
''Shure, sir, yez have Harmed me that

knew too much to be spared.

Mead's Statue Of Lincoln.

Miss Anne Brewster writes from Flor
ence to the Boston Advertiser:
OF course, in visiting American stu
dos, I went to Mead's. This sculptor
has the largest commission ever sent
from the United States-the national
Lincoln monument for Springfield, Ill
1t As to cost 5000, 900. The statue of
Lincoln is to be eleven feet high; in
the left hand is scroll on which is
Emancipation, " in the right hand q
pen; at the right of the statue are the
consular faces about which is the flag:
at the foot of the fasces is a crown of
laurel. On each angle of the monument
is group; one cavalry, another infan-
try, third artillery, fourth marines
Behind the statue of Lincoln an obleisk
rises up. This Lincoln monument of
Mead, and the one to Cavour at Turin, are
the largest ones made during this centu-
ry. La RefOrn1Ct, of Florence, in a very
hattering notice of this statue and
monument, published ashort time since,
says: ''The talent with which Mead
has modelled this colossal statue, and
surmounted the difficulties which the
precise neatness of the modern costume
so different from the grace of the
heroic mantle-presents to the artist,
reveal in him, beyond a doubt, a pro-
found knowledge of his art In Mead's
studio I saw the well known group of
Columbus and Isabella, which belongs
to Legrand Lockwood, of New York;
the Echo, belonging to Mr.. Benedict,
and its companion piece, the Mountain
Boy. Columbus, as a youth, leaning
against rock, with Embellishments
and books; the boy gazes out as if across
boundless stretch of waters; Venus
seated on the winged lion of ST. Mark,

The Body and its Needs.

Considering the extreme constituencies of the hu-
fetal covering, from the action of cold, it is not
strange that at this it is liable to many dsor-
ders. The skin exercises powerful influence over
the stomach and bowels, and when its functions are
interrupted by sudden chs that seal the pores and
prevent evaporation from the surface internal
gestion is apt to The digestive organs never
perform their Office properly when this is the case,
and the waste matter of the system, which should be
discharged in part through the perspratory CLAN ds
having other outlet than the bowels and the kid
neys constipation and variety of renal diseases are
more or less prevalent Dyspepsia where it exists,
Is also aggravated by these The most effective
preventive of, and remedy for disturbances of this
nature is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Acting as a
simuant and tonic, 1t rouses the stomach and the in
testnes impartng to those important organs both
by toning the vessels of the skin and promoting the
free passage of exhausted matter through that nat
ural seive Of the System. Being mild diuretic, it
gives healthful impulse to the action of the kidneys
where there is tendency to dropsy, and a blood
depurent aud nervine, has highly beneficial effect
in rheumatic cases. 1t combines in happy pro por-
tons the tonic, aperient, ansepc, diaphoretic and
antbous properties requisite the restoration of
a system generally disordered and has equal as

Professional Life i'm New York.
From the College Recorded,

The number of lawyers in New York
is variously estimated from four to sew
en- thousand. 1t is sometimes said that
there is one lawyer in every hundred
inhabitants; if so, how can they live
One of the first councillors of the city
said to me, few days ago, "there are
about four thousand lawyers in the
city; five hundred of these do all the
important business and the most lu-
cratlve cases are confined to these" If
this be true, and there is little reason
to doubt it, why do so many stu
dents enter the legal profess
sion? The answer given here is,
that law requires little cap
ltai. No young man can now begin
business, as merchant, unless he is
wealthy. A man needs small fortune
to be able to rent one room on Broad
way. A young lawyer can make bust
ness II he Is enterprising and popular
IN manners. Most business men en-
ploy attorneys to make all such papers
as country merchants write for them
selves. The sale of real estate EMPLOYS
many lawyers in looking up titles and
making deeds. Still, it is very difficult
loi JOuiIS pidCUltlOIcI W td1L, IOI
some years, more than a meagre sup
port for himself; he cannot enter into
family relations. The effect of such a
life is patent to all.
The physicians rank next to the law
yers in numbers; but they hardly
amount to more than thousand. They
fall more readily into practice than law
yers; still only one in hundred be-
comes widely known; very few become
rich from their professional income
The ministers are last but not least in
this enumeration. [ do not know the
number of churches in New York; but
suppose they cannot exceed four
hundred. These are but partially
filled on the Sabbath. A few emf
nent preachers, ten perhaps, have
crowded houses; the rest preach to two
or three hundred hearers. I have been
told that about one in ten of the popu-
lation attend church. The Sabbath is
becoming a day of amusement Citi-
zens visit the Park more on that day
than on any other. Pleasure and re-
creation are more earnestly sought, at
all times, than spiritual culture The
ministers, therefore, have hard field
of labor; but it is quite as respectable,
and, probably, more remunerative than
the professions of law and medicine.

THE system of French weights and
measures is the most perfect in exist
ence, since it increases or decreases in
a tenfold ratio like common numbers
The standard of linear measure is the
metre, which is equal to about three
feet four inches. One thousand of
these make one kilomitre, orabout two
thirds of mile, hence two of our miles
are equal to about three kilomitres, or
kilos, as dispatches say. The other
denominations are seldom mentioned
in our dispatches. In square measure
the unit is an acre, or 0.0247 acres.
One hundred of these make one hec-
ture, equal to 2.47 acres The litre is
the unit of liquids, and equals 1-7603
imperial pints. One thousand litres
make one kilolitre, or $50 gallons
Weight is measured also by scale of
tens, gramme being the unit. This
equals 15.44 grains avoirdupois, and
1000 grammes, or $50 pounds equal
one kilogramme. 1t is unnecessary to
give others, since they are seldom men
toned in the newspapers.

THF ink used by the aneients seems
to have been much more durable than
that used in modern times. 1t is said
that manuscripts of the ancients are in
much better state of preservation
than those Immediately preceding the
invention of printing. The reason of
this is, undoubtedly, due to the fact
that the basis of their inks was carbon,
whereas modern inks are usually a
chemical compound, containing a com
pick vegetable substance. We may de-
fine ink to be fluid employed in wri-
ting with pen. A perfect INK would
be one that flows freely from the pen,
is of deep color, and will not change
by age, and cannot be removed. Many
efforts have been made to fulfil these
conditions, but complete success has
not yet been obtained.
