MISCELLANY.
BOSTON LAWYERS FEES.
What the Disciples of Blackstone Earn al
the Hub.

What the Disciples of Blackstone Earn ai
the Hub.
The writer was conversing on this subject
not long ago with successful and very OBJ
servant member of the profession, and the
following questions were asked and answer
ed: How many lawyers in Boston make
$4,000 year from their practice 2" "You
can count them ON the fingers of one hand"
"And how many make $1o,oOO?" "Not a
dozen" !" How many make as much as
SCOOP Perhaps quarter of the active
bar" .'How much do the others make ?"
"a good many pick up $1,000 to $4,000,
many work at other things to help support
them. Some live from hand to mouth and
some nearly starve" "What becomes of
all the young lawyers who get admitted
every month";" "a few who have fathers
or relatives already prominent in the profess
sion go in with them and find enough to do.
A good many, by slow degrees, build up a
fair practice for themselves. Some keep an
Office for few years and do nothing and
then drift into some other occupation.
Some go West and some go to--the devil"
A learned Boston lawyer, who has finished
his course, was one evening riding to his
homo in public conveyance, accompanied
by a friend: Opposite thom sat decent
workingman, who was also homeward bound
after his daily toll. The latter bowed to the
lawyer respectfully, but he only stared cold
ly in response. "Why," said the lawyers
companion to the attorney, "that man is q
client of yours /" ''What of it?" replied
the lawyer. az do not consider that am
bound, after ONCE hours 10 notice famiiariy
every man who has consulted me-" He GER
tainly was not; but the public soon found
out his popularity and did not trouble him
often with their affairs.
The late Henry F. Durant was a striking
example of the opposite temperament
When he had once taken up case his whole
personality seemed to be absorbed in it,
He left nothing undone that could rightly
assist his client. He became himself the
plaintiff or the defendant. 1t was his case /;
he was the one seeking justice; he was de-
termined to secure it, and SO terribly earnest
did he become in the progress of suit, 80
much of his own being went out of his
client--he put himself, in fact, so complete
ly in his place that after obtaining YER
dict (usually fayorable) he was often COM
pletely worn out and physically overcome

T'HE CROPS.

Crops, SO far, were never more promising
in Giles county, Tenn, than they are this
year.
Covington Tenn Call: "The wheat har-
vest will be unusually early this year. Sew
eral farmers sent in heads of wheat last
week."
Columbia' Tenn Herald: "We have re-
ceived wheat that is headed out. It was
expected to be ready for cutting by May
18th ......... Wheat is still improving and bids
fair to make good crop; in fact, all tue
farming interests are as good as the heart
could desire .........I In Sawdust valley farmers
are nearly through planting. Corn is COM
ing up, but they say that we are needing
rain"
Santa Fe, Tenn: Most OF our farm
ers will finish planting corn this week
Some have already sown cotton-seed. We
are needing rain badly, to soften the
clods and bring out the grass and clover.
......... The business Of bee-keeping is one
wofuIly neglected in Tennessee. We see
men come to this State from Ohio and bring
their bees with them. They say that Ten
nessee is one of the best States in the Union
for bees and honey At Mount Pleasant
an unusually large amount Of corn is plant
ed ......... Lewis county is looking for double
its former wheat crop; fruit prospects coed
.......At Cedar Creek the crops are good
corn planted and preparing for cotton.
At Paris there is a good outlook for the crop;
a number of farmers are cut of feel for
their stock An artesian well is boring
The crop outlook i'll the Northwest en-
courages the hope of average crops of wheat.
In Illinois the acreage has fallen of, but the
Weld is expected TO make up for it. The
same report comes from Minnesota. Dakota
is more sapguine; the acreage is larger
and the yield there is reason to believe will
be greater. In Ohio falling off of over
100000 bushels in the wheat crop is ex-
pected. The condition of the rye and barley
crops is trifs better than last year. Most
of the Southern States have an iucreasa
acreage in cereals. Alabama is putting in
one-third more corn than ever b-fore, and
her oat and wheat crops promise fine yield.
The Oat and corn crops OF Mississippi and
Arktn will be twenty-five per cent. in
crease over any previous year, and the in
crease in this State in all the grains and
grasses will be equally as large, oats being
fifty per cent. greater. In Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina The increase in
grain crops is something extraordinary in
view of the hitherto steady yearly increase
In the latter State the increase ia the acreage
of wheat, rye and oats is thirty three and
one-third per cent; that of rice, fifteen pei
cent A slight increase in the corn acreage
is reported. Iu SJuth Carolina the acreage
in wheat is increased twenty-five per cent.
in oats fifty per cent corn acreage shout
the same, and the crops all in fine condition
Iu Georgia the wheat acreage has been in'
creased from twenty to thirty per cent; corr
about the same, and oats largely increased

THE STORM KING
EeiIpses All Former Efforts, AT Dallas,
Texas.

DALLAS, Tx, April l2.-The storm king,
after subjecting this section yesterday even
ing to a hail-storm unprecedented in its Sc
verify, completely sstonished and bewildered
the eldest Inhabitants this morning by a
combination of rain and hail that COM

and hail fell in insxhaustible torrents, and
the streets rivaled ordinary rivers. After last
evenings hail, the windows and roofs OF the
principal buildings of the city presented an
appearance of having stood in front OF
battery of Gstlng guns in foil blast. All
the metallic roofs are perforated, and the
leakage has done immense damage TO stocks
of goods. The damage in Dallas is
estimated at S150,O00. The rain OF this
morning flooded the Easements of many
! business houses. The worst sufferers are the
Duly Herald, damage to press and stock
room contents is estimated at from $4,000
to S12 0OO. An effort will be made to get
out diminished paper in the morning. The
water in the building is five feet deep.
Z. NJ. Tiliman's wholesale liquor store,
in the same building, similarly
visited; he estimates his loss at 5000. These
firms talk of suing the city on account Of in
sufficient drainage ana sewerage in the
| siraets. The storms have occasloned the
postponement of the Dallas Jockey Club
races until next Saturday.
