Melville M. Bigelow of Boston said
something at the annual meeting of the
New York State bar association the other
day which has long waited to be said. He
told the lawyers that the lowering of pop
ular respect for law was the fault of law
yers and judges in making the law $50
delicately elaborate" How can the peo-
pie be expected, he asked, to respect the
law when the law has been made to the
brightest of them mere jsrgon, People
with slender means are barred from good
advice because of the time and labor re-
quired to give sound advice. "Greater
time, greater expense, greater uncertainty;
such is the story of the law in our day,
partly because of the complications of a
complex civilization, largely because of
the working of our legal ma
chinery." He concluded in these
words: I have fairly hinted at q way out
of the difficulty in question; and hesitate
to do more. Indeed, I have hesitated
much even to hint; for we boast of the fet-
ters we wear. But now that I have said
this much fnd my courage rising. Is
there one here to follow mes Ipluck up
courage in the hope and m AXE the confes-
sion. Sir, put an end to the slavery of
precedent. Rid you of these letters. Free
the hands of your judges and yourselves.
Had I the ear of the New York State Bar
association, my suggestion would be that
a commission be appointed of your ablest,
most experienced and most earnest men, to
take the subject in hand and give to the
mature advice.
Mr.. Bigelow's remarks are almost or
quito unprecedented. Therefore, 1t is not
to be expected that they will make very
deep impression upon the lawyers. But
they are refreshing, all the same.

The 0ne-Horse Drojky.


The one-horss drojky is meant to hold
two persons. Our experience was that 1t
held one and bit. 1t is q common and
an amusing sight to see some gallant officer
dsftly encizcling the waist of his fair COM
panion in one of these conveyances. "His
arm gets in the way so," he explains, "'and
this is the only means of disposing of it
that he can think Of" The horses are
first rate, small in size, but able to do q
great deal of hard work, and keep their
good looks in spite of it. Nearly all of
them are stations and are bred in Russia.
The driver, who is sometimes a mere boy,
wears a dark blue dressing gown kind of
coat, q curiously shaped hat and high topped
boots, and makes quite a picturesque OBJ
ject. His dress seems to be a very hot one
for summer, but the average driver is too
poor to buy cooler clothing. 1t is aston
ishing what an amount of heat Russians
seem capable of bearing. Even on the hot
days of August a great many of the
officers would wear their heavy military
cloaks.
There are no fixed fares for the drojky
Every time you hire one q long course of
bargaining ensues between you and the
driver, until at length the latter consents
to take about half what he first asked. Six
pence will take you long way and on one
occasion got drive for twopence. In
the absence of an agreed fare the driver
charges what ne likes. Once he paid 2
rubles "a shillings) for drive of few

The Big Trout I Lost.


At ten years of age was "bound out'
to farmer away up in the Green Noun
tains of Vermont, far away from large
settlements, where the woods and waters
were well stocked with fish and game.
From my earliest recollections 1 had been
eager for hunting and fishing; but at my
new home no time was allowed for such
indulgences, except it was gained on q
stint. In fact both master and mistress
were constantly scolding me for my PEN
chant, always asserting that such pursuits
were a mark of a ne'er-do-well. just the
came, however, they would eat the game
and fish.
One day, before was out of my teens,
I had finished a hard stint at about two
O'Clock, and was soon on a stream that ran
through the farm, and while the sun was
yet we'll above the horizon was back to my
starting place with all the trout I wanted
to lug, and no fngerlings, for the stream
was literally swarming with we'll grown
fish. I rarely went that did not get one
or more Of two pounds and upwards. On
this occasion 1 had two such on my string.
Just above where was to leave the stream
was q fine hole at big boulder which jut-
ted out from the bank. Here had often
found a solitary big trout, 80 I went to try
for another. Sure enough, as / peered
over there was one, and the largest I had
ever seen. The largest on my string were
babies to it.
Putting two big worms on my hook,
let it down from the quick water above,
wide of him at first, but as he did not no.
tice it at last let it down plump to his

all my strength I gave him the grand

field of grain and was tumbling back
ward off the rock. I remember how I
chanted with exultstion az got up and
started for my big trout; but for all my
seeking he was not to be found; and when
this was realized cried as if my heart
would break. Then I comforted myself
with the thought that perhaps my master
would come with me in the morning and
help search, it was such big one. But
not so; he jeered me for telling fish lie,
and when I cried at his refusal he threat
ened me with a strapping. That night,
and for many thereafter, cried myself to
sleep over my loss; and even now, after
| the lapse of more than half a century, I
keenly regret it.
The time came in three or four weeks to
cut the grain where my prize was lost; and
there, where large clump of grain stood,
many inches taller than the rest, still dark
green and growing, lay the skeleton of my
big trout almost intact Ireviewed it with
mingled feelings of pride and sorrow, and
burst into tearr. My master gazed spell
bound and speechless. His face was q
study as he realized its enormous size; thus
I construed it. At length ventured, tim
idly to be sure, to ask If he then thought I
had told him fish lie; when he found

One View OF the Lobbyist.

No member has time or capacity to study
posed statute in advance. He can't do 1t,
and he doesn't try. No one can even guess
at the number of bills which will come to
introduction in this congress. Plumb had
introduced over seventy before his death.
He meditated as many more. If every
member is as industrious the result will be
half hundred thousand bills. At the
opening of congress there starts in q snow
storm of bills perfect blizzard of bills
and this unfortunate state of affairs con-
tinues till the last day of the session. Now,
good or bad, all these bills cannot gain q
hearing. The walls of the chambers of
congressional time are not wide enough,
the ceilings are not high enough, to hold a
hearing for them all. They can't get 1t.
Many . bill goes unconsidered, much JUS
tice goes undone, just through lack of
time.
1 was talking with three statesmen last
night at the Cochran about this matter
D9ckery of Missouri, Governor Sayres of
Texas and Horizontal" Bill Morrison of
Illinois.
"How many bills, compared with the
whole number introduced, get hearing
to yes and no votei" asked.
"About one-tenth of per cent. - said
Governor Sayres, and the rest agreed.
"Do the merits of the bill cut any figure
in gaining 1t consideration"
'Not at all" continued Sayres. 'tThe
merits of bill have nothing to do with
earning it a day to be heard. The bill
which proposes q crime may be heard long
before the one loaded with virtues. It is
matter of skillful handling by the friends
of the bill. They will get the committee tc
report and take steps in the general body tc
secure q vote upon It."
That is where the true lobbyist comes in.
He urges the fortunes of bill, not &c

The iron ore industry of the United
States has shown since 1880 one of the
most remarkable strides ever recorded of
any industry in any country. The census
figures have just been tabulated, aud it ap-
pears that the increase of production in
ten years has been over 100 per cent, from
seven millions odd to fourteen millions
gross tons. In the same time there has
been an average decrease in the cost of
mining of fifty cents a ton, an average de-
crease in the value of the mines of seventy
five cents ton, and an average increase
in mining operatives earnings of more
than 500 per annum. These figures will
bear careful scrutiny.
A short time ago leading Scotch news
paper printed letter from a correspon-
dent who sought for information and ad-
vice in regard to emigrating to Australia.
The expectation was that the inquirer
would get some advice from some Austral-
ian reader of the paper. He did. A man
writing from Sydney offers the following
advice to the eager emigraut: ''First,
change your mind. Second, take course
of lessons from an acrobat in lightning
changes. We have no climate, only sam
pies, and we show a great many in twenty
four hours. Third, take a life belt.
Fourth, let your clothes be mud color.
They will assume this hue very soon, any
how. Fifth, take few hogsheads of car
bolic acid. The people have never seen
their way to knock ten per cent. dividend
out of a drainage scheme, hence they do
without one, and ask you, What do you
