A FEATURE of the disregard Of sub.
sidized railroads for their obligations to
the government is shown by the fact
that the Northern Pacific has not even
paid the fee of three cents an acre for
survey. According to law no patent
FOR these lands can be issued until this
fee is paid, yet the company has sold
millions OF acres on which this is still
due. Congress has been negligent in
this regard, but now seems to be wax
ing upto the Importance of the question.

AMONG the novelties suggested by
certain physicians is a recommendation
TO eat before retiring at night. At first
the sleep will be heavy and the dreams
disturbed; but eventually, it is claimed,

and the food will digest better. The
blood. it is argued, being drawn to the
stomach, incites to slumber, because the
pressure upon the brain is thereby &c

The Courts and Lawyers.

San Antonio is much favored at this
time with courts and lawyers, both great
and small. The judges Of the federal
and district courts are distinguished for
gravity, earnestness, and patlent and
diligent attention 10 their responsible
duties. Not having rs yet visited any OF
the inferior courts, or rather, courts OF
more limited jurisdiction, we cannot
speak Of them from ocular observation;
but much is said in the papers OF these
important tribunals, and of the parties
before them; especially OF the recorders
clients or prOteges.
The law is acknowledged to be the
greatest Of human sciences; and It's Won
derful power in clearing the vision, I'm
proving the reason, Strengthening the
virtues and cultivating the sympathies,
when allowed fair chance, IL beyond
dispute. With some, the name lawyer,
Is synonymous with pettifogger; but
this is n great injustice to an honorable
profession. which is as necessary in the
temple of justice as the sacerdotal order
is in the temple Of religion.
Lawyers are of various grades OF at
tainments. AS rule, they excel in
esprit de corps, land disposition to help
struggling merit In their ranks. They
understand men, and know more than
passing observers are apt to suppose.
Some are sensitive to criticism, and rel
ish little blarney almost as well as a
preacher. Others are stronger and, like
the elephant that didn't know the gnat
was taking a ride on his back. AT times
there is too much Of scramble in
case, not particularly in this city or
state, but everywhere in the land. JUS
tice and her ministers at the altar, be-
fore his ever observant honor, cannot be
too mindful of the respect due to their
professional body, and to the court, that
is ever panied to be compelled to inflict
penalties. SCION.
