SH LISTERS.

Lawyers who are willing to bring cases ''on speculation" are too numerous in every city, but in New York and Brooklyn they are particularly numerous and pestiferous. A Brooklyn lawyer of this kind has come to grief, and his fate ought to serve as warning to his brethren in guilt.
 This lawyers client thought that she had cause of action against the sheriff of Queens county and consulted him with regard to the bringing of suit. The lawyer demanded and received small retaining fee, at the same time entering into an agreement with his client that she should give him twenty five per cent. of any judgment that might be re- covered in connection with the litigation. Three separate actions were brought when but one was necessary. In one of these verdict was returned for the plaintiff, in second the defendant was successful, while the third is, if the attorneys affidavit can be believed, still pending. The judgment ob- tained amounted to $500, but the costs thrown upon the plaintiff in the action in which she was unsuccessful amounted to $123. The lawyer deducted this amount from that recovered, but refused to turn over to his client the $177 which remained in his hands. She brought suit to recover the amount due to her, and upon the hear ing it was shown by the plaintiff that there was no necessity for bringing three suits was brought without authority. Up on this showing Justice Cullen not only reprimanded the avaricious practi- tioner, but ordered that he should pay to his client the money in his possession that belonged to her within five days, and that an unbailable attachment should be issued against the lawyer, under which he should be committed to jail if he failed to comply with the terms of the order.
 This is just the treatment the shyster de- served. It would be good thing if such tricks were exposed and punished oftener than they are. There are shysters in New Haven who are not above such performances as their Brooklyn brother has been caught in. The Brooklyn Union gives some advice concerning their treatment which is sound and good for any latitude. It says: But the only sure way to stop the career of these hungry individuals is for itigants to under sIanu InaG II Gney nave any leSai ousi1less that needs attention their best course is to entrust it to gentlemen of recognized honesty and ability as lawyers. In cases of sickness it is the custom of our citizens not to ask the attendance of quacks, but to seek out physi clans of acknowledged skill and standing; until they adopt the same course when they need legal advice, there is every reason to fear that 'shysters" will find it profitable to represent themselves as lawyers

 It is now declared that "Ouida's" real name is Mary Jane Stubbs. No wonder she enjoys writing about the aristocracy. Dallas, Texas, claims to be one of the most
 striking examples of growth in the southern l States. Twelve or thirteen years ago it was
 only clump of unpretentious huts on the
 Trinity; now it is solidly built over an area extending back two miles from the river, and has population of about 35, ,0OO. Philadelphia is going to try civil service
 reform in earnest. All the minor municipal
 offices are to be filled by competitive tests and the higher offices by promotion for mer- it. The mayors zeal is so great that he says that if he learns of any appointment being
 made in violation of the rules he will apply for an injunction restraining the city comp troller from countersigning the warrant for
 the pay of the appointee.
 Crime has apparently not decreased in
 Iowa under prohibition. The anti -prohibi- tionists of Iowa have made up list of the heinous crimes committed in that State dur
 ing the one year and one month that prohi-
 bition has been in force there. The statis-
 tics, which are said not to be as complete as
 they might be, show record of sixty-two
 homicides, any number of assaults and rob
 berries, as well as about ninety suicides. Young men who would marry if they
 thought they could afford to may gain some
 comfort from some remarks by Worth, the
 famous dressmaker of Paris. He says there
 is great deal of nonsense aaoat about the cost of dresses. "You hear of dresses that cost $1 ,50O and 5000. I venture to say
 that not four dressmakers at Paris ever made
 any at such prices" In this category he
 does not include 1aces, which can be made to count up to marvellous figures, and says that he has lace dresses in his establishment that
 are worth $25, 5,000.
 A French scientist has just invented a
 changeable chart for the use of railroads, and
 it is claimed that it will do away completely with danger from collisions It consists of 8
 sheet of opaque glass, in which the rails are
 indicated by horizontal lines, and the sta tions by vertical lines numbered. Little ar l rows represer ting the trains move along the horizontal lines and allow the operator to see every movement on the section he con-
 trols. If one train gets dangerously near the
 other he can signal it at once, and the en- gineer can take whatever precautions are
 necessary. The whole apparatus is worked | by electricity.
 According to British parliamentary pa- per the number of persons who visited the | general collections in the British museum in
 the year 1884 was 46S, ,s73. The number is
 the least recorded in six years, and is less
 than that of 1881 by nearly 300, 900. On the
 other hand, the number of visits to particu- lar departments was greater than in any of the five preceding years, being 200, ,269, of

Frank LeslIe's Sunday Maya
zine for February

Is fully up to the mark set by the Jan
uary number, and will sarely please all
classes of readers. 1t is strong in its
original contributions and happy in its
selections. DIR. Talmage's sermon is on
'The Cold" and very timely at this
season, as is also his vigorous essay on
''The Increase of Suicide" We have
been much interested in the "Glauee at
Bible History" of which the second in
stallment appears in this number treat
ing OF the three patriarchs, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. This series bids fair
to be very valuable as well as interest
ing feature. The second representative
religious journalist, depicted by pen
and photograph, is DR., w. G. Gray, ed
itor of the Chicago Interior. Mrs. A.
L. Alexander contributes a charming
sketch on "Intelligent women" and
there is an article dealing with the Ii
bretto OF the new oratorio, 1.-THE Rose
of Sharon" and another is promised
dealing with the music OF this oratorio.
"The Bi-centennial of Handel'' is an
other timely article, the great Saxon
master having, been born in February,
1885. The miscellaneous poems and
sketches are as attractive as usual and
the Illustrations as profuse. We can
heartily recommend this magazine as
good family monthly and the best of its
class. The price is % cents 2 number,
or $3.50 yearly, postpaid. Mrs. Frank

Gov. Rates Message,

1t is the longest message we re-
member to have seen, and it is ably
conceived. The state revenue for
the past two years was 50, SAG, 359.-
"a, and disbursements 81, 701, 1871,
leaving a balance in the treasury of
$645,2I483, inclusive of new issue
bank of Tennessee certificates and
old issue money.
Under the recent funding enact
ments the total bonded indebted
ness of the state is about $I5,7S3,-
608,19. A tabular statement ac-
companying the message presents
in detail the funding process to
date, under which more than eight
millions of the bonded Indebtedness
has been retired, with a gratifying
exhibit of the considerable apprecia-
tion in the market value of the
states securities.
The total net increase in taxable
property for 1884, excluding rail
roads, was $4,2O6,311, exceeding
any year since 1877.
Of the railroad commission ques-
ton, the governor thinks the recent
legislation on the subject-the
first of the kind in our state-may
be subject tojudiclal pruning, but
yet step in the right direction.
Rather than repeal the commission
bill of 1888, he suggests that it be
purged of its defects and the sys
tenn perfected upon-a constitutional
basis, equitable in its provisions,
and designed to promote the joint
interests of the public and roads.
The reports from the state prison
officers show satisfactory condi-
ton, with great Improvement in the
health of prisoners and steady de-
crease of mortality, also better dis
cipline under the institution of hui
name and intelligent regulation.
Under the present leasing system
there is a saving to the state of
considerably over two hundred
thousand dollars annually. Admit
ting many Objectionable features to
the leasing system, the governor CO.
incides with his predecessors and
Tue SGaCe legislatures lot many
years that, considered in all It's
bearings, it is the most economical
and least Objectionable mode of
handling prison labor. Most of the
prisoners are engaged in mining,
and in that way come least in com
petition with the industries of the
state.
He urges liberal legislation ia
aid of the agricultural bureau
that the Middle Tennessee referee
court be continued to get rid of
over 100 cases on the docket
the number of chancellors and
judges be lessened-that a registra-
ton law be enacted requiring voters
to register before elections-that a
law be made requiring more accu
rate and prompt election returns
from the counties to the capital
that more liberal appropriation for
public schools be made. He
touches upon all matters of impor-
lance except the roads and sheep
protection.

Some Nsw History.

The reader remembers the sad
and cruel fate that befell a man
named Davis during the war. He
was caught by the yankees with a
paper giving a detailed description
of the defenses of Pulaski, troops,
etc, and he was executed as a spy.
His heroism in refusing to disclose
who gave him the paper, even when
offered his life to do so, will be
read of and admired for years to
come. For the" first time we are
able to give the public the name of
the man for whom Davis died. 1t
was the late Uncle Bob English of
Campbellsville. Mr.. Henry White
was IN Nashville recently and met
up with a man named Joplin who
was with Davis just before he was
caught. They staid all night with
Mr.. English, who gave Davis the
paper, saying that negro boy whom
he sent to town for something had
stolen it out of the colonePs office.
1t was the very thing that Davis was
after and he seized it gladly. He
was caught, tried and executed, res
olutely refusing to buy his own life
at the sacrifice of Mr.. English.

The great Senator Bayard,
whom the south reveres and the
world admires, cautions against ar
bitrary legislation against rail
roads. Surely he is patriotic and
the words he utters are born oil
thought and sifted through a great
wind. He confessed that while
there were evidently great evils to
be redressed, and while the state
and national legislatures were
clothed with adequate power to exc
cute the proposed measure, the
magnitude of the risk was so great
and the questions involved so intri-
cate and complicated, that con
gress should delay action until the
philosophy and equities of the
problem should be more thoroughly
mastered. 1t is very probable that
this sentiment will influence many
more besides Senator Bayard to OPP
pose this action during this session
of congress, and this in connection
with the antagoBism of the two
houses on their respective bills
will defeat both.
