The Lawyer Plague.

As a contribution to the history of
the legal eXtortiOns of this time, the
Graphic yesterday published some tables
showing that the Erie Railway Company
has been plucked to the tune of $780,
600 for law fees during the two years
and "a half. This assault on the proper
ty of stockholders, under pretence of
protecting it, is only sign of the times.
1t is not mentioned as anything very
peculiar. This tremendous outlay is
known because the road is in the hands
of receiver; while other roads which
spend as much or more in needless dis
bursements, which the officers are able
to find plausible excuses for. are en-
abled to keep their secrets. Lawyers
seem to have no function in these latter
days except to attack widows and
orphans, helpless estates, bankrupt com
panies, and corporations that can be
made to bleed.
There are, of course, a few honorable
exceptions, but we have no hesitation
in declaring the legal profession, as it
exists in this country at present, a near
ly unmiXed curse. 1t makes no diff
ference by what nice name they call
themselves-fromt the Toombs SINISTER to
to the so-called statesman-no matter
what outside professions the gentlemen
of the bar may make, their business is
under the guise of law, to rob indi-
vlduals, estates, corporations, munich
palities and the nation. 1t is idle to
| further mince matters. We are afflicted
with swarm of legal lice as voracieus,
as numerous, as despicable as those
which beslimed the land of Egypt in
the time of the PharaOhs.
What is needed above anything else
is the formation of an anti-lawyer party,
that will keep our associations, our
political parties, our legislative halls
and our executive chambers clear of
that all pervading nuisance. Lawyers
are class who contribute nothing to
the general stock of wealth, who are
simply eaters up of estates and incomes,
whe undermine the morality of admin
istrations, national and state, and who
seem to have no higher object than to
plumber estates, rob corporations and
deplete treasuries-private, municipal
and state. The most unscrupulous and
contemplate of all the lawyer species
are the fellows who flourish as Gre
formers" They are the meanest rascals
of the lot. Our great lawyers, so-called,
are simply the greatest plunderers In
any great great, estate that is sacrificed, it is
always the ''eminent" and respectable
lawyer that cuts the most disreputable
figure and pockets the most swag.
The country is in bad way, and has
been made bad and immoral by putting
into Office and keeping in power the
members of a profession who sell their
opinions for money; who have no con-
science in public matters, and who think
of nothing but of how to fill their purses,
no matter what the shock may be to the
moral sense of the community. Y

bounds goes out of the front door and
into the carriage and is granted ride
home. Last Saturday evening the car
rage stood on side street, and IN its
customary place was a peanut cart,
over which native of sunny Italy was
half asleep, signing for better weather
and increased demand for baked pea
nuts. Dash was released, and fleet as
the wind dashed through the open door,
and with single bound landed in the
middle of the peanut cart, scattering
the parcels in every direction, and look
ing utterly dismayed in finding that it
was not his masters carriage. The son
of Italy was dumbfounded, and before
he could make move in defence of his
stock in trade, shrill whistle sounded.
Dash was off and out of sight, and the
peanut vender is probably still in doubt
as to whether it was put-up job or the
prank of crazy dog.

railroad men, and the result was that,
most Unexpectedly, our whilom mod
est and hard working conductor one
day received telegram asking him
Eif he would undertake the duties OF
general superintendent of the Central
Pacific railroad at salary of ten thou
sand dollars. He was satisfied with
and appreciated by the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy, who proposed to
increase his pay to seven thousand dol
lars, and as he preferred to remain
in Chicago, he declined the princely Of
fer made by the California road. Then
another telegram asked at what salary
he would become the chief of the Cen
trail Pacific. Almost hoping to discour-
age his tempters, he telegraphed
'sThirteen thousand dollars a year in
gold" At once came the answer, SAC
cepted." So, taken in his own trap, he
had nothing to do but to bid adieu to
the city that had served him so well
and turn his face toward the land Of
gold. Ny story would be too long if
should try to tell you the expected diff
ficulties he encountered from the old Of
ficers of the road, who had determined
that they would not be superseded, and
that the new superintendent should
never enter upon his duties, how they
before his arrival, set the whole press
and California against him,-how sup
ported by his directors of the road, he
quietly took control, disarmed preju-
dice, conquered submission, and earned
success.

had but little to do with it. Work did
it. Faithfulness in the performance of
present duties, however humble, did it.
This untiring faithfulness in the hum
bier duties not only attracted the no
tice and won the appreciation of his
superiors, and fitted him for the higher
positions which, without his seek

Knocking.
BY REV. CHARLES NJ. sINNETT, FORT
FAIRFIELD, ME.

BY REV. CHARLES NJ. sINNETT, FORT
FAIRFIELD, ME.
On dark night recently went to
call upon friend. As the house was
neared no light was seen. Passing into
the dooryard and finding all silence and
gloom in the apartment had hoped to
see bright with welcome, | said sadly ::
at is of no use to knock. There is no
friend within"
While | fingered a moment, the
thought came to me: 81 have long been
intending to call here, and | know not
when shall have so favorable an OPP
portunity of coming again. Perhaps
my friend may be sitting in the tw1-
light. 1t is best to knock" Stepping
to the door | was surprised to find it
standing ajar. Then l caught sight of
Pickering freight, a few faint CLEANS.
| knocked hopefully. No sooner was
this done than there was a stir within,
a lamp lighted, feet hurrying TO the
door, and warm words of welcome be-
fore | had half finished my greeting.
| could not but think of the promise
of our Saviour: ''KnOck and it shall be
opened unto you,n and how lovingly he
emphasized the assurance, "and to him
that knOcketh it shall be opened "
And, my dear reader, | could not but
think of you. You have been feeling
for some time that you would knock at
the door of that Friend who gave his
life for you, who since your earlier
years has been bidding you to come to
Him, who many times has stood knock
ing at the door of your heart, his locks
wet with the dew of night. You have
drawn near to the door of mercy and
hope. But all seems dark before you.
Jesus does not come forth to meet you
as YOU thought he would. Silent and
cold is the way you have pictured as
full of the stir of happy life and love.
And you are waiting. Perchance say
ing: at is no use to go further" 1t
may be you are about to turn away.
But stay, my friend. Knock
Why was it that | did not see light
when drew near my friends home ?
l had neglected to call for Il long time.
My friend thought would never come,
so long had been my tarrying, and was
sitting sadly in the twilight. How
much you have grieved the heart of
Jesus, straying in the ways of sin so
many years If a friend had treated
you so i'll, think you that you would be
waiting with eager expectation for him
to come to you for help9 All, no.
My dear friend, if you will only go
on in the way that seems dark, and
come to the door, determined to find
your Friend, you will see the door is
ajar, and CLEANS of light will give you
hope. If you will knock, Jesus will
come to meet you, you will be well
coined by Him who will never leave
you nor forsake you. "Knock, and it
shall be opened unto you"

Another Strong, Healthy Man Gone for
Dog.

VIM. Merritt, of Peabody, Mass, aged
q years, died of hydrophObia, last Sat
uFFday. On Christmas day, he came out
of his boarding house just as large
NewfoundlanS9-a dog was trotting by, and
as most men do, Piiaayfully snapped his
fingers at him, when tie brute seized
his hand in his mouth, his teeth meet
ing through it. A vigorous kick sent
him away, and Merritt started for DIR.
Osborn, who at once cauterized the
wound and dressed it. His hand was
sore, but healed in about two weeks,
and he had no trouble from it since
until Tuesday last, when he complained
of pains in his stomach, feverish symp-
toms and choking sensation in his
throat, which seemed pneumonia in
character. DR.. Pike was called, and
on Wednesday he was taken vomiting.
and was unable to swallow anything,
and the sight of fluids or the sound of
running water threw him in commissions.
DR.. Pike had Drs. Elliot and Haley of
Peabody, and DR.. johnson of Salem, in
consultation, but as the patient was
unable to swallow, nothing but opiates
could be used. During his lucid mo-
ments he recognized his friends and
told them he would not injure them,
but in his parOxysms he knew no one.
On Friday he left his bed and ran
around the room on all tours, growing
and barking like a dog, frothing at the
mouth, and vomiting. A straight-jacket

ty placed within it, as he was very
muscular man. He fully realized his
condition, and did not wish to be re-
strained, promising to do his attendants
no injury, but as it was unsafe to allow
him his liberty they were forced to do
it. He fingered through Friday night,
with few lucid moments, till about 8
o'clock Saturday morning, when death
relieved his sufferings.
