A PhiIadeiphIa LAWYERS wit.

One of the city's bright lawyers said
very clever thing the other day. He
was seated with a group of friends and
they were discussing in desultory way
the leading topics of the day. One of
the parties present, Mr.. -, persisted
in monopolizing more than his share of
the conversation, and his views did not
at all accord with those of the lawyer.
AS the men separated, one of them said
to the lawyer:

"Yes, replied the lawyer. "he knows
entirely too much for one man; he

the coin with costs.
The spirit of litigation was perhaps
never carried to greater extent than
in the cause between two potters, at
the end of the last century, for a sum
of ten dollars. After being in court
for eleven years, 1t was put an end to
by being referred to arbitrators, who
decided in favor of the defendant in
the case, and ordered the plaintiff to
pay all the costs incurred in the pro-
ceedings, which were assessed at five
Thousand dollars
As an instance of the unwisdom of
rushing to law to settle every little
dispute may be mentioned the follow
| ing case, which occurred only couple
of years ago: Two cottages were left
by deceased relative to twin brothers.
The terms of the legacy were little
ambiguous, although the spirit of the
beduest was plain. The brothers
sought the aid of the law to settle a
point that arose between them, name
ly, which was in reality the elder of
| the two. This proved nice little nut
to crack, the mother being dead aud
the nurse who assisted at the birth,
whose memory was naturally not very
fresh after two-and-twenty years, first
asserting that one and then the other
was born an hour before his brother,
and finally admitting that she "couldn't
recollect."

svun out to great length, the judge

the G. A. R. Post met at its head

the N. G. H. moved out, through
the grounds Of the Executive
building and down to the landing.
The Philadelphia battalion was
drawn up and ready, and was i'm

At $50 the G, A. R. marched
out and down the line to the posi-
ton assigned them by Marshal
Eldridge.
The procession marched to Fort.
up to Kuikui, to Nuuanu and up
to the cemetery. The streets all
the way were lined with people,
and fully 1000 were in aud around
the cemetery grounds. The N. G.

drawn up around the Grand Army
plot.
The G. A. R. Post was seated in

the exercises by reading "'rhe duty
