etai expenditures on account OF the navy to

The Saline county, Mo-, pOor-house caught fire
yesterday morning, and was entirely destroyed
with the contents. The keeper, as usual. started
the fires in the stoves and went to breakfast.
He started back, when, 80 his astonishment, he

WayS of LAWYERS.

A young attorney was accosted by
an acquaintance yesterday with the
commonplace salutation:
Chow do you do?'
GAS there Is nothing to do" was
the nonchalant reply, ''it is immaterial
as to how it is done.''
'Does the depression in commercial
circles affect tine law business gener-
ally for the worse? l should suppose it
would give it an impetus"
''The business is not so very bad, eN-
cept among young attorneys. Depres-
sion in business is not the sole cause
of our ill-luck. Older attorneys, and
some of them having lucrative prac-
tice in the higher courts, are getting
in the habit of descending to justice
courts even in matters of small ac-
count. 1t is true that some older law
yers make practice of turning over
petty suits to younger men, but they
are few"
care collections from clients becom-
ing more difficult?''
somewhat; but he is poor lawyer
who can not collect his fee. There are
certain well-known attorneys recog-
nized IN the profession as model law
yers, able speakers, and good counsel,
who bind their clients with rock-rib-
bed contract. Ii money can not be
paid them, their chattels are accepted
in lieu. A very well known attorney
recently made it condition of con-
tract of this kind that in case the
money was not forthcoming, then he
was to receive the seal skin sack which
his lady client wore. Others will not
take 4 case without what is known as
a retainer, which is nothing more than
part pay in advance. Not a few law
yers of certain class are willing to
take cases making their pay contingent
upon winning the case. OF course the
pay is commensurate with tue risk,
and is usually half the amount sought
to be recovered: but [ have known a
case in which three-fourths was allot-
ted. These, of course, are desperate
cases which no reputable lawyer
would take, and indeed which no at
torney with but little or no reputation
as such would touch unless constrained
to do so by the hope of winning the re-
ward and a peal from the bugle OF
fame. "-Detr01 Post.

The ReiI Rebellion.

The most explicit and complete
statement of the origin of Riel's re-
bellion in Canada yet seen is furnished
the Pioneer Press by correspondent
and thus summarized by that paper:
All the dominion territory to the
north of us was once ruled by the
Hudson Bay Company, which temper
ed its iron despotism with exact and
absolute justice. 1t ruled Indians and
half-breeds severly, but it never broke
faith with them. And they in turn
knew it for their master and obeyed it.
When the Hudson Bay Company sold
out, part of the consideration was in
lands, for which the best have of
course been selected, and which will
equally of course be held until their
value is enhanced. This is the first
grievance of the settler. 1t is intensi-
tied by the exclusive grant made to
the Canadian Pacific railway, and the
corresponding restrictions upon settle
ment. Then the Northwest half-breeds
and employees of the Hudson Bay COM
pany began to get anxious about the
lands which were promised them by
the company, by the dominion govern.
ment, by the province of Manitoba, by
the Canadian Pacific, and by every
body else who could give promise.
AS frequently related, they took up
claims for the most part along the
streams in the Northwest provinces.
in long, narrow strips running back
from the waters edge. 1t is among
these settlements that the war is now
raging. The Canadian Pacific was
first surveyed and located through the
district of Prince Albert. When many
settlers had located there on this ac-
count, the route was changed 10 one
some hundred miles farther south,
and here was a new element of dis
content. Finally when the dominion
made it's land surveys 1t disregarded
wholly the old half breed allotments,
laid out the land into the usual sec
tions, and when the half-breeds came
to file and prove up their claims they
found them cut up, and, if desirable,
usually in possession of somebody else.
1t is an ugly and consistent story OF
broken faith and unredeemed promises
since the Hudson Bay Company relin-
uuished it's control. And the men,
driven to resistance by such crimi-
nal disregard of their rights, are the
men who, under Riel, are now waging
a half savage warfare that may grow
into no end of trouble.

Falling Half q Mile.

The greatest balloon feat 1 ever
witnessed, writes a. correspondent in
The Pbiiddelphin Times, was in Sep
tember, 1858. Upward of Is, 600 peo-
pie were at Lemon Hill and along the
banks of the Schuylkill to see M.
GODDARD go up in q balloon along with
his brother and drop the latter out
from among the clouds in parachute.
1t is said that the feat had never been
attempted before in the history of
ballooning; it was startling novelty,
and the people crowded to see it.
When the balloon sailed gracefully
upward outside of the incIosure NJ.
GODDARD and two friends were in the
basket, while below it III. E. GODDARD,
his brother, was seated upon small
bar of wood attached to the parachute.
1t looked like an immense umbrella.
The balloon went over the Schuylkill
in a southwesterly direction, and
after it had reached an altitude of
about 5000 feet began to slowly de-
scend. Then the parachute be.
5000 feet of the earth the cord was
cut and the parachute rapidly de-
scended. with GODDARD hanging on to
the bar. The balloon shot upward
again. The descent of the parachute
was keenly watched by tie thousands
of spectators, and many expected to
see the daring man dashed to the
earth in the twinkling of an eye. 1t
was observed, however, that the
nearer to earth the parachute came
the descent was slow and easy. At
last the man and his big umbrella
faded out of sight over the hills, and
we learned next morning that he came
down all right on his feet, like a cat,
about half mile west of the old Bell
tavern, on the Darby road. The bal
loon landed in Delaware county, near
the Philadelphia line. GODDARD and
his brother were Frenchmen. They
returned to their native country, and,
I believe, were valuable to their coun-
trymen during the Franco.Prussian
war. Gambetta sailed out CT Paris to
Tours in one of their balloons.
