 A story is told of lawyer in this city known nearly as well for his love of a fee as for his legal ability, both of which are un- doubted. On one occasion when he was in the law school he was up for examination and the professor put difficult question to him. 'tDo you mean that for business or just for fun?' he asked. "For business, of course, sir, replied the professor, with some show of wrath at the young mans import thence, ''and I want no answer" "Oh, well," he said coolly, ''you needn't get mad about it, was only asking for information. As it is business matter, l must say to you that can't give you an answer unless you give me a retainer. Business is business. ."- Washington Critic.

EUROPE and AMERICA. A Great Surgeon
 AND A
 Noted Physician.

The distinguished American physician Dr. R. c. Flower, is a cousin of that eminent surgeon, scientist and author, Pro. William H. Flower, F. R. S., of London. Prof. Flow CT is one of the Queens surgeons; he is also the director of natural history in the British Museum, an intimate friend of Prof. Huxley, and a leading contributor to the Encyclo- pedia Britannica and other standard works. While the professor has been thus prosecut- ing his research in surgery and science in the old world, Dr. R. c. Flower, (much his jun for in years). has been engaged in exhaustive study in the realm of medicine, and com polling the flowers, plants and trees of the earth to yield their virtue for the cure of the sick and dying of this age. The splendid success that has crowned his patient scien- tific study, is witnessed in his wonderful Nerve and Brain Pill, and that king of all tonics and specific cure of dyspepsia and in- digestion, his Liver and Stomach Sanative. These great remedies are now for sale by all druggists, and are performing miraculous cures in tens of thousands of cases. They will cure YOU.

 The recent cold snap has, we are told done such damage in New Jersey that there will be no peaches there next summer. There have been few years during the last twenty when the entire peach crop has not been ruined beforehand several times.
 One of the arguments for the scientific registration and indexing of land records in New York is that in 1881 $f,750,0O0 was paid to lawyers for searching titles and $400,- GOO more as fees to officials, and this assess ment on the public is growing larger every year.
 It is encouraging to notice that public opinion ln New Orleans, as voiced though the local newspapers, is urging upon the munich pal budget committee an increase of 33 per cent. in the appropriation for public schools. It shows the people are awakening to their duty.
 The Tocsin, the chief organ of the labor movement in Philadelphia, takes strong ground against the entry of workingmen into politics as a class. It declares that working men should go into politics simply as all good citizens should, to secure good govern ment in the interest of all the people. If they can do this best through the organiza- tion of a new party, it is well. One thing, however, we ought to make sure of, and that is the defeat of every candidate of either party who will serve the bosses or corpora tions rather than the people at large" There is sense in this.
 A number ofBoston gentlemen "of the high est responsibility" were fined the other day by Judge Nelson, in the United States district court, for illegal voting. The fines imposed were small, and intended rather as warning than punishment. Among the offenders were one clergyman, one school teacher and several merchants and professional men. They transgressed not wilfully, but through ignorance, but their ignorance is surprising, for the disqualification which made their voting criminal is defined by law of long standing and supposed to be well known by all persons of ordinary intelligence. The law provides that legal voter must have resided in the State one year and in the town or city in which he votes six months at least before the day of election.
