GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-Municipal
elections were held throughout
Europe and Wales yesterday, and
were mostly contested political
rather than local issues. The News
claims that on the whole the balance
of the changes favors the Liberals.
The Daily Telegraph, comments
ing upon the dispatches from Phila-
delphia about the fisheries dispute,
says: "In the world, where no two
well-informed people think alike on
any given subject, why should the
fact that Lord Salisbury and Sec>
retary Evarts, unable to take quite
the same view of this questian, Gre
ate in Philadelphia q profound sem
sation? Let the whole Of the facts
be put before the public, and we are
sure that men of common sense in
both countries will soon arrive at
a friendly agreement" There are
no other comments on the subject
in the daily or weekly press.
There is not sufficient information
published here to justify express
sions of opinion. All that is known
publicly regarding the controversy
has come from the United States.

PROFESSIONAL MEN-The pursuit of agri-
culture presents far more certain field for
earnest work, or for educated men, than either
law or medicine As illustrating this point, we
are i'll receipt of useful statistics showing the
careers of 1000 graduates of great medical
school in England, carefully watched through
a long series of years, with the following
result Nine per cent. of the number achiey-
ed success of sufficient magnitude to be
cassed MS prosperous 80 per cent, gained q
moderate competency, and siXty-one per cent
either failed, more or less completely died, or
went out OF the profession. Both III this
country and England professional men often
havespent the best portion of their lives wait
ing for opportunities. Lawyers and doctors
seldom make enough to pay their expenses be
fore they are thirty to forty years of age, and
It is difficult to account for the strange infatu-
alton that leads many young men to attempt
to force themselves into such overcrowdcd
professions. which nature never intended
them TO fill However, the general depression
in business is gradually educating men to the
necessity of honest toll to secure their daily
bread. American Cultirdt0r
