! Mr.. Eaitor Various have been the con
lectures as to the probable course that our
Allcgany and Garrett county representa-
tiyes in the General Assembly will pursue
towards the New County Bill, which is
now before that body. That thee should
be difference of opinion, however, is due
l am disposed to think, to a want of &C.
quaintance on the part of the doubling,
with the provisions OF the constitution re-
lating to this matter, and their want of
confidence in the fact, that our representa-
tivcs Tin common with the democratic par
W recognize the principle of local sclfgoy-
eminent as one of the cardinal ones of their
party, and of the further fact, that the

or more counties, the consent of a majority
OF the legal voters of such parts, respective

Constitution of the State to the people to

those representatives Of Allegany and Gar

Messrs Sprigg, Rawlings, Brooke, Bar
nard and Browning-should at least main
tain neutrality on the question Could
they, However, appreciate the full measure
of their duty to their section and their con-
stltuents, putting local and selfish interests
aside, their voices would lie heard and their
ballots be cast in favor of the Bill.

The Young Lawyer.

The tie which bound a certain Detroit
youth to a lawyers office was severed
yesterday, and his parents were happy.
They wanted the boy to make a great
lawyer, but he was getting along too
fast. He pursued his studies with an
ardor which cast judicial shadow DER
the household and created considerable
neighborhood talk. He got trusted for
candy and repudiated the bill on the
ground that he was a minor. He
bought dog and went into bankruptcy
He borrowed pair of skates and defied
the owner to get out writ of replevin.
He borrowed fifty cents and then made
the lender his assignee. ,...
But the worst of it was in the family.
He had legal name for almost every
thing, and his desire was to prove to his
parents that he was just absorbing dead
loads of law. If he wanted potato at
dinner table, he would remark:
'Father, file my claim against that
baked potatoe, and Ill prove the in
debtedness this afternoon"
If he wanted bread, he said: "Mother,
get me out writ of attachment for a
piece of bread"
1t was expected of him that he would
build the morning fires, but no sooner
had he gained an insight into law than
he said to his father:
'pm going to move for a change OF
venue unless some other arrangement is
made.n
He moved for a stay of proceedings
when asked to go to the grocery, and il
chided for being out nights, he replied {:
"File your declaration and give me a
chance for a jury trial"
When he was in good humor he would
sit and regale his mother with stories
about how Old Chaneery was going up
town one night and met Old Equity and
asked him how Decree was getting
along. Old Pleadings and Exceptions
came along just then, and there was a
big fight, and the young lawyer would
slap his leg and add:
"If Indictment had only been there,
he'd have whaled the whole crowdu
The other day the elong-suffering father
severed the tie. He was trying to bear
up, hoping for reform, but as he sat
down to the tea-table, his son bright
ened up and remarked:
"rhe defendant will now take the
stand and be sworn. Now, sir, did you
or did you not come out of Griswold-
street saloon at II o'clock this morning,
wiping your mouth on the back of your
hand Tell the jury all about it, sir pi
1t was little too much, and the boy
doesn't study law any more. He plays
with a wood-pile in the back yard
