The Legal Profession.

While almost every class of business
and almost every profession are profit
ing by the general prosperity, we hear
so many complaints of continued stag
nation in legal business from members
of that profession that we are con-
strained to believe there is something
in it. The lawyers increase with great
regularity each year, but the business
apparently does not. The Chicago
Tribune has been investigating this
matter in that city, and the report that
it has to make from the rank and file
of practicing lawers is that 'business is
positively frightful with us nowadays.
The lawyers are having hard time of
it. The facti is there is no business for
anybody in our profession, unless it is
among some of the oldest ones who
may have some old unfinished business
on hand" We have heard similar
complaints of the situation in this city,
and it would not take very searching
canvass to find as discouraging views
expressed, not by pettifoggers and dull
lards, but by as bright young men as
there are in the city or State. In spite
of capacity and enterprise, business has
actually declined among the mass OF
practicing lawyers and those who have
had regulations to make and business
to build up have had a hard time of it
indeed. Of course there is certain
fortunate percentage, quite small and
select, that has all the business it
hut
inducements to young men are not great.
1t would be difficult to decide in what
profession competition was most in
tense. But it is probable that the law
suffers quite as much by overcrowding,
even when legal business is good, as
any other of the learned callings. COun-
try boys, especially when ambitious to
leave the farms and the trades for more
purely brain work, most naturally gray
itate toward the law. In its external
manifestations it appeals more strongly
to them than medicine or theology, and
journalism is still more vague. They
see the lawyer about town and he is the
important man of the village. He is
leader in town politics, he makes
speeches at local gatherings, he is
force in almost every town interest IN
which he becomes interested, and the
boy takes in the effect and says: 81
will leave the farm as soon as possible,
get an education and be lawyer" :" The
city lad has the benefit of more in
structive experience, and in the absence
of statistics we are inclined to believe
that the ranks of the profession are
swollen more proportionally from the
country than from the city. The fact
however, seems to be that there are
more lawyers than can thrive in the
business there is to do. One reason,
and significant one, is that legal
methods have become so intricate ana
justice from litigation so much matter
of speculation, that people are dong
without lawyers more than they used
to. For this lawyers as lawmakers
are largely responsible, and they can
not hope for much relief until they 40

Prehistoric Mexico.

Very interesting discoveries have been
made by NJ. Desire Charnay in ancient
cemeteries high up on the slopes of the
volcanoes Popocatapetl and Itztacci-
hutal The burial place on the latter
mountain is high above the line of veg
citation. Just below it is small valley
almost concealed on three sides by a
natural bulwark of stupendous rocks.
Access to this singular dell seemed at
first impossible, in fact was so difficult
as to lead NJ. Charnay to doubt the ira
dition of a Chichimecan village having
existed in such place. Excavations
have led to the supposition that this
narrow valley had been temporary
refuge of the Toltecs, perhaps as early
as the year 600. 1t bore evidence too
of having been inhabited by the Chichi-
meca Indians. Idols and household
utensils similar to those found in ruined
Chichimecan villages were dug up from
depth of from three to four feet. SIM
gularly, too, there were found near the
surface Aztec relics, which proved that

With bells of pendant woodbine swung,
In every bell bee;
And round the latticed window spread
A clump of roses, white and red.
