An Honest LAWYER.

Robert Toombs, although he may
have been a rash talker was a safe
counselor and evinced the incest scru-
pies in the practice OF his profession,
On one occasion he said to a client
who had stated nis case to him: Yes,
you can recover in this suit but you
ought not TO do so. This is a case in
which law and justice are on opposite
sides. " The client told him he would
push the case anyhow. Then" re-
piled Mr. Toombs, you must hire
some one else to assist you in your
damned rascality." At another time
a lawyer went to him and asked what
he should charge a client in case to
which MIR. Toombs had just listened in
the court house. We'll said Toombs
Il should charge thousand dollars
but you ought to have five thousand,
for you did great many things that
would not have done. "--Argonaut

ILLUSIONS OF GREAT MEN

Goethe states that he one day saw
the exact counterpart of himself com
ing toward him.
Pope saw an arm apparently coming
through the wall, and made inquiries
after its owner.
Swedenborg believed that he had the
privilege of interviewing persons in
the spirit world.
DIR. Johnson heard his mother call
his name in clear voice, though she
was at the time in another city.
Sir Joshua Reynolds, leaving his
house thought the lamps were trees,
and the men and women bushes agitat-
ed by the breeze.
Oliver Cromwell, lying sleepless on
his couch, saw the curtain open and a
gigantic woman appear, who told him
that he would become the greatest man
in England
Ravaillac, while chanting the
"Miserere" and ode Profundis," be-
lieved that the sounds he emitted

feet Of a trumpet.
Ben Jonson spent the watches of the
night an interested spectator of crowd

HUMAN QUADRUMANA.
The Hindoo Uses HIS Feet Almost as De;
terously as His Hands.

The HindOO Uses HIS Feet Almost as Dex.
terously as His Hands.
The Hindoo is not the missing link
that the evolutionary scientist hopes
to find and which shall connect man
and monkey But in one respect the
Hindoo stands much nearer to the
monkey than does any other human
race. Whether this simian trait OF
the Hindoo is direct inheritance from
his monkey ancestor or a reverslon
from the human back to the simian
form it may be difficult to decide.
The fact is this that the Hindoo uses
his feet as a second pair OF hands.
The laborer in wood in India holds
with his feet the board or stick which
he is saving CIR planning So the shoe
maker holds the shoe, the tailor the
cloth-with the feet. In climbing
trees twigs are seized between the
toes thicker branches with the
foot as the gorilla does. Be-
tween the big toe and the
second toe there is distance of a
quarter to nearly three quarters of an
inch. These two toes can be sepa-
rated and forced close together and
the force with which they are closed
is great enough to produce pressure
not perceptibly less than that which
the hand can produce with the thumb
and first finger. The Hindoos wear
sandals by means OF plug inserted
between the toes Further, the instep
is so movable that the foot can be
curved in manner to enable the two
feet to hold tight to objects of the
requisite thickness such as trunks OF
trees logs of wood. etc. There is
also o considerable movability in the
hip joint enabling the feet to approach
close to the shoulders. This agility
OF toe foot and leg. is not so great
however as to render the limbs less
qualified to support the body in stand
ing upright which no monkey is able
to do Chicago Herald.

The Leader What have you to say
ABOUT how prosperity shall be restored
to the peopleP If you remove the
cause OF the distress will you not al
ways accomplish the purpose? II now
requires about 100. 900 bales Of cotton
annually to pay the interest OF the
mortgage debt OF the farmers on their
homes each year II the government
should come to their rescue with the
land loan scheme TO let them have
money at 2 per cent it would only re-
quire 50, 1888 bales OF cotton annually
to pay the interest and the other Sc
667 bales they now pay as interest If
applied as payment on the principal,
in ten years would restore their homes
to them. Is 1t better TO do this and
save the farmers or should the present
system continue and convert the farm
ers Of this country into serfs and ten
ants as in Ireland? Ten years will
work out the latter result in all prob
ability. Now which is the better
plan' Face the music aud answer the

The story of SNUFF.

Snuff has been made from very
early period, first and most largely by
the Spanish, who prepared it with
care and scented it with various ma.
terials. Next the low countries, Scot
land and England extended and popu-
larized the use of snuff.

WHAT is THE CITY DEBIT
How, when and who Made IL.

At the last meeting of the city council
an administration alderman is reported
as making the statement that large city
debt has been accommodating for the past
twenty years. Is this correct state
ment? 1t is evidently made to deceive
the people and make 1t appear that the
present city administration is not respon-
Sible for this large city debt.
Below we print an official statement
of the city debt made at the close
of Mayor Frenchs administration which
shows the amount OF the liabilities OF the
city at that time to have been S217, 600.
Included in this sum is $4,000 bonds is
sued for the erection of high school build
ing; $4,000 settle cement Of the old Gulf
for old debt, leaving the actual amount of
debt made by Mayor French, 1900
during his long term In office.
But we have the official statement that
March, LIST, 1885, when, Mr.. Callaghan's
reign began the city debt was $sl7, 900; so
that the Large debt" has really accu.
mulated during the past seven years of
Callaghan's administration.
How much the debt is now we are unable
TO state definitely but somewhere in the
millions. And all made during this ex-
travagant, incompetent administration,
with the exception of the amount quoted
above.
What the people have got for it, can be
easily seen.
According to financial statements made
by the present city administration, the
liabilities of the city, outside of the debt
due the bank, is $1,223, 500. Deduct the
S217, 800, which was the amount OF debt at
the close of Mr.. French's term, and we
have the amount of 81 ,0O5, 800 accumnla-
ton during seven years of Callaghan
rule,-at the rate Of SAB. 700 per annum:
Who is responsible for the Large debt?'
