The Great Lawyers Income Was I'm
usually Limited Even for His Day.
One of our correspondents has been
so lucky as to fall in with a little leath-
er-covered book, like those Of bank de-
positors, which contains Daniel Web
ster's autograph record Of legal re-
ceipts, says the New York Evening
Post. This. chronicle fills twenty-eight
pages, and extends little more than
from 1888 to 1886 inclusive. The first
entry, dated September in the former
year, is of $50 and the second Of $40,
for retainers on the New Hampshire
circuit. The first fee Of $1,000 was
paid in May, 1884, by a Mr.. Badger
Services regarding Cilley's will COM
manded $500. The total amount for
the first year was footed up as $40,
with the remark, Sept. %, 1884, thus
done and concluded" A similar sum-
ming up appears at the close Of each
other year. The second total is $751;
1874; the third is $21,793. The first
entry Of $1,000 was in 1885, March Z;
the first of $4,000 Dec Z in the same
year. This last payment was in re-
spect to Florida land. The largest
single honorarium was 1900 In Feb

date he said: chats just the time
