Legal ethics affirm, we believe,
that lawyer ought to have no pc
cuniary interest in the case he
prosecutes or defends. But this
ethical rule, though based on the
idea that the legal profession is a
part Of the administration of JUS
tice. aid should therefore be un-
bribed, is not always observed in
practice.
Certain lawyers will work for a
contingent fee; that is, they agree
that their services shall be paid for
by certain per cent. of the sum
shey may recover for their clients.
They practice, as sundry doctors
do, on the principle of No cure, no
pay
If, however, the jury should dis
cover that the eloquent advocate is
speaking one word for his client,
but two for himself, their verdict
would often leave him the victim of
great expectations. An anecdote
of an eloquent Southern lawyer,
the Hon. H. ". Hillia-d, illustrates
the view which iuries take OF a
contingent fee.
In the trial of great will case
before an Alabama court, Mr.. Hill
lard spoke for the contestants with
great eloquence. He compared the
vast estate to a stagnant pool, CIV
ing off malaria, and thus tainting
the moral atmosphere.
Unfortunately for the advocate S
eloquence, it came out durir 6 the
trial that the agreement between
the contestants and himself was
that he should receive for his SER
vices 10 por cent. Of what he re.
covered for them.
The lawyer for the will saw his
opportunity and made the most OF
it by thus answering the malaria
argument:
If, gentlemen Of the jury, Mr..
Hilliard should gain q verdict, be
would go to his clients, holding his
nose with one hand, and opening a
a pocket with the other, and re-
quest them, as he was delicate and
fearful of his health, to drop, very
gently, a little-about 10 per cent.
of that malaria into his pocket! !!
Court, jury and spectators roar
ed with laughter at this view OF
the malaria and Mr.. Hilliard did
not enjoy any 10 per cent.

SUGGESTIONS OF AND FOR
THE SEASON.
American Agriculturist tor Sept. /.


The leading farm work for Sep
tember, in many parts OF the
United States, is the sowing of the
fall crops. This involves putting
the soil in thorough readiness, and
the selection, and sowing OF the
seed. There are a number of es-
sensials in the proper preparation
of the seed bed, all of which should
obtain in every field devoted to a
grain crop. The soil should be
fich, either by the accumulated
fertility OF long years OF undls'
turbed vegetation-the virgin soll'
or made 50 by the addition Of a
fertilizer in tho form of barn-yard
dung or the so.called chemical
manures.' Of these two, that made
in the barn. yard and stable is TO be
: the first chosen, and the super
phosphates and other salts only
used as supplement to the barn
ward manure, or in, cases where the
latter is not to be obtained. Next
to richness should come a fine tilth.
This requires that the soil be pl0"-
ed in a thorough manner, and al
forwards stirred with the harrow
or some other cultivator-ln fact
with any implement, until the
Jumps are reduced, and the whole
soil is in a fine, mellow state. The
importance of the mellowness OF
the soil for all seeds can not be too
strongly insisted upon, as without
it the seeds do not come into lntl-
mate contact with the particles OF
earth, and therefore cannot make q
good start, and many Of them will
not grow at all. With good sup
ply of plant food, in condition to
be readily taken up by the young
plants, the next thing is to select
the seed, and SOW it properly. TO
put the matter Of selection in q nut
shell-sow the best seed to be
found, even if it costs double that
of the ordinary sort. When the fact
becomes more thoroughly known
that of two kinds of grain, for ez-
ample, under Identical conditions,
one will yield twice as much as the
other, more attention will be given
to q proper selection OF seed. 1t is
not for US to say which variety OF
wheat or other grain is the best !;
that depends upon local circum-
stances and conditions, and each
farmer must, after careful study,
decide such. matters for himself.
The 'Clawson' wheat is at present
taking a high rank for yield and
quality in many localities. 1t may
not be the best for all places.
Were it not for the Hessian Fly,
early sowing of wheat should be
recommended in all cases. Late
sowing is a disadvantage in itself,
as the plants make smaller growth
before winter sets in. The richer
the soil the later the sowing may
be done with safety.

RELIEF FOR BURSs,-A quick cure
is to apply a layer OF common salt
and saturate it with laudanum.
Hold it in place an hour or so by
a simple bandage. The smarting
sensation will disappear rapidly and

A Hawthorne Row.

"Tis love that makes the world
go round" and his time is not alto.
gether occupied in turning the crank.
While taking rest, last Friday
night, instead of watching the APP
preaching conjunction of the plan
cts with view Of learning some
new points in the management OF
planetrry revolutions, he visited
Hawthorne and stirred up dreadful
row. There are two young ladies
employed as waters in restaurant
whose attractions have found favor
in the eyes of about dozen of the
young men around town. Natural
ly an equal distribution made II
necessary on the part of
the young ladies that they should so
arrange as to have their admirers
take turns about In the privilege of
carrying them peanuts, Walker Lake
trout and oranges. This was diff
cult, and was rendered still more so
from the fact that the two ladies re-
ceived together, and consequent
confusion of conflicting interests
was sure to eusue sooner or later.
They made a mistake in tn Schedule
time given to their several callers,
and on the evening mentioned each
damsel had two callers at the same
time. The gentlemen were unac
quainted with each other, and not
knowing of whom to be particular
ly jealous, were generally jealous all
around. They relieved the bitterness
of their feelings by sarcastic remarks,
which finally produced scene of
violence in which there was a pro-
miscuous scattering of teeth aid a
careless handling of hair very pain
full to the owners. A late ell,known
clin scavenger of Dayton was
prominent actor, and from aptitude
acquired in the practice of his pro-
fesson, distinguished himself as
hair puller. Pistols were at length
drawn and q few shots fired, but no
serious damage done to anything but
the walls. In the meantime two
men from Bodie stepped in and car
ried off the girls, and when the
contestants discovered that the
prizes for which they were contend
ing were gone the battle ended and
the curtain dropped on a friendly
wiping of each others bloody noses.

A Curious Law Suit.

Pizeu Switch has another morsel

intervals of his pedal manipulations

er Of teeth. When he took out
corn he always took especial care to
exhibit the root to the former wearer
and guaranteed that the same corn
would never return. A young lady,
the domestic assistant of a we'll to
do rancher, had a decayed tooth
which she employed the man of
complex professions to fill, and hav-
ing paid tor the work they separated
at the time mutually satisfied. In
few days, however, the tooth began
to ache, and her friends informed
her that she had acquired an exceed
ingly offensive breath. By some
means suspicion was directed to the
filling of her tooth, and investigation
showed that the professional gentle
man had used an old and extremely
hard corn, probably taken from the
toe of some patient during the dry
season. Suit for damages was i'm
mediately brought, the plaintiff
alleging (Which is probably a mis-
take, although the jury found for
herr that the root had been left on
the corn, and had begun to grow
into the nerve of her tooth, causing
intense pain; and that the exposed
surface of the corn or filling was in
process Of decomposition, causing
to plaintiff the annoyance of very
offensive breath. The complaint also
called for restitution OF the amount
paid, and damages for the injuries
sustained. The defendant put in q
general denial, but the jury formu,

Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the ex-
tent of their understanding as child
rem, and cau be easily damaged or
ruined by bad management. We
believe that the difference found in
horses, as to vicious habits and re.
liability, comes much more from the
different management of men than
from variance or natural disposition
in animals. Horses with high met
tie are more easily educated than
those of less or dull spirits, and are
more easily susceptible to ill-training
and consequently may be made good
or bad, according to the education
they receive. Horses with dull spir.
its are not by any means proof
against bad management, for in
them may be found the most pro.
voking obs.inacy, vicious habits of
different character that render them
almost entirely worthless. Gould

ference in the general character of
the noble animals. If colt is
never allowed an advantage it will
never know that it possesses pow

IF horse is made accustomed from
his early days to have objects hit him
on his heels, back or hip, he will
pay no attention to the giving of a
harness, or wagon running against
him at an unexpected moment. We
once saw an aged lady driving a
| high spirited horse attached to a
carriage, down a steep hill, with no
hold back straps upon the harness,
and she assured us that there was no
danger, for her son accustomed his
horse to all kinds of usages and
sights that commonly drive the ami
