There are indications that the mother

Mrs. Peck was formerly Minnie Good

LAWYERS as Statesmen.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, the rich and
p%hilosophic iron manufacturer OF Pitts
burgh, made an address on Monday even
ing before a medical college OF this city,
in the course of which be thought proper
to give the young meulcos d lot OF IN
formation about lawyers ami statesman

The profession of law tends TO narrow

legist Is ever looking back. He adopts
new IDEAS SLOWLY aud he-itatlngly, and
becomes an eucycloI u Tia ot wise saws
and modern inst ace. the modern IN
stance, being governed By the wise saws
at the past Hence lawyers rarely become
great statesmen.
We observe, too, that our soClailsuc
friend. John Swinton, has "a very poor
opinion Of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet, be-
cause, with the exception Of rlr. Man
ming, it is composed Of lawyers. whom he
regards as natural enemies Of human
progress.
And vet the founders of the republic,
the leading minds of the Revolution, and
the Trainers Of the Constitution were
mostly lawyers. James Otis and John
Adams in Massachusetts, Rooer Sber-
man in Connecticut, Robert K Living
ston and John Jay in New York, William
Livingston in New Jersey, .PeJton Ran
dolph in Virginia. John Rutiedge and
Edward Rutiedge in South Carolina, al
so Influential in bringing Gu the Rev !u-
~tionaIy struggle and il keeping alive the
zeal of the patriots, were every one OF
them lawyers.
The Declaration Of Independence was
written by Thomas Jeffe son, a lawyer
who assuredly ranks among the great
statesmen of cur history. The first Con
~tlnen:al Congress was presided over by
Peyton Randolph, a lawyer. Alexander
Hamilton belon ged to the same profession.
All the Presidents of the United States,
with the exception OF Washington, Har
rison, Taylor, Johnson, and Grant, have
been lawyers 1t is true that Madison
studied law only ID a general way, and
that Monroe may not have long and ac'
lively engaged IN its practice, but he was
under the legal tuition of Jefferson
Jackson won military fame, but he began
his career as a lawyer, had a large lcga
practice, was District Attorney of Ten

Federal Territory, and was subsequently
elected by the l. gi>lature a Justice OF
the Supreme Court Of tie State. With

The Best Art is the Healing Art

One hundred and thirty fouryoung
medical students sat in the red
cushioned chairs in the orchestra OF the
Metropolitan Opera House last night and
looked at semi circular rows OF elderly
lei on the stage, representing the Board
of trustees and the faculty of the Belle
vue Hospital Medical College. DR.. Austin
Flint, Jr, called out the names of the
young students, and they went on the
stage in platoons and got their diplomas.
The Hon. William Dorsheimer talked a
few minutes to them, and then intro
duced Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. who has
given the college $50, 0G0 to build a la
boratory. All the young doctors arose
when Mr.. Carnegie stepred forward, and
greeted him with a chorus of "Rah !.
'rah Andrew Carnegie !" Among the
things MIR, Carnegie said to them were
these.
Medicine Is a growing science. Its de
voices look iull-eyed upon the blazing sun
of truth 10 all its changes. The profess
sion OF law tends TO mar. ow man by its
rules and ~precedents. The legist is ever
looking back. He adopts new ideas
slowly and hesitatingly, and becomes an
encyclop;e Tia OF wise saws and, modern
instances. the modern instances being
governed by the wise saws of the past.
Hence lawyers rarely become great states
men, though we cherish high hopes that
the new, talented member of the Cabinet
from 1ew York may be the exception
proving the rule. He has been caught
young, and cut Of the law may blossom
craftsmanship.
If we turn to theology as a profession.
We find its devotees more heavily hand
capped even than those of the law. The
young theological student is furnished
with thirty-niDe articles, constructed cen
turtles ago; be is compelled to believe, or
at any rate to try to believe, thSt these
constitute the whole of essential truth.
If We consider the military profession,
we find that the physician is the antipode
of the soldier. He lives to kill; you live
to save. You all read the other week of
a man who liked the sport of man killing
so well that be could not rest at home in
peace, but ran to Egypt in pursuit of his
tavorlte sport. In time came the turn
OF the brave savages, aud they killed him.
The cable informed US that he died like
a true British bali dog" He did in
deed Having lived a bulldogs life, it
was fitting that he should die the death
of a dog. beg pardon of the dog |
mention this incident not 10 assail the
dead-poor wretch we can only pity
him but to show how utterly demoraliz
ed i the public opinion that has hardly
anything but laudation for such a charac
ter. Depend upon it, gentlemen, this
will soon change. The hero Of barhar>u
Is the man who braves danger to DESTROY:
the hero Of civilization is be who dares
danger 10 save.
The young doctors and the audience
heartily cheered Mr.. Carnegie remarks.

FAILURES IN BUSINESS. The man
who never failed in business cannot pos
sibiy know whether he has any grit in
him, or is worth a button. 1t Is the man
who fails, then rises, who Is really great
IN his way.
Peter Cooper failed In making hats,
failed as a cabinet maker, locomotive
builder, and grocer, but as often as he
failed he tried and tried again. until
he could stand upon his feet alone, then
crowned his victory by giving a million
dollars to help the poer boys IN times to
come.
Horace Greely tried three or four lines
of business before be founded he Tn
Junt, and made it worth a million dollars
Patrick Henry failed at everything he
undertook, uutil he made himself the
orator OF his age and nation
The founder Of the New York Herall,
kept on failing and sinking money for
ten years, and then made one Of the most
profitable newspapers on earth.
Stephen A. Douglas made dinner
tables and bedsteads. and bureaus, many
a long year before he made himself a
giant on the floor of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make both

Mississippi, fiat boatman. he had not even
wit enough to run a grocery, and yet he
made himself a grand character Of the
nineteenth century.
General Grant failed at everything ex-
cept smoking cigars, he learned to tan
hides, but could not sell leather enough
to purchase a pair of breeches. \ dozen
years ago he brought up on top of a
woodpile, "teaming 1t to town for forty
dollars a mouth, and yet be Is head of a
great nation.
The lesson for every young man Is
this: As long as you have the health,
and have power to do, go ahead; if you
fail at one thing, try another. aud d third
