Ono to the Lawyer.

A gentleman dying left all his estates to
n monastery on condition that, on the re-
turn of his only son, who was then abroad,
the worthy fathers should give him what
ever "they should choose.
When the son came home, he went to
the monastery and received but small
share. the wise monks choosing to keep
the greatest part for themselves. The
Young man consulted his friends, and all
agreed that there was no remedy.
At last barrister, TO whom he happen
I'd to mention the case, advised him to
sue the monastery and promised to gain
his case. The gentleman followed this
advice, and the suit terminated in his IA
cor through the management of the advo-
cate, who grounded his plea upon this
reasoning:
sThe testatoT," said the ingenious bar
rister, "has left his son that share OF the
estate which the monks should choose. ,

THE WESTERN FLATBOATMEN,
Not Always Deserving the Reputation That
Was Given Them.

General Veilc, in defending Abraham
Lincoln from the often published state
mcnt that he was a flatbOatman in his
young days, seems burdened with the ter
rible fact, as he will have it, that those
boatmen were of low grade as to morals,
drunkards, etc. The general has no right,
in truth, to make those statements as to
the character Of tho fatboasmen of the
early days of the river settlements. 1t is
% gross libel upon the general character of
the early settler. There were drunkards
among the early settlers the same as now,
but they were not among the boatmen, for
the very good reason that they could not
be relied on in time of need in case of
storms, wind or any other emergency.
The very reverse of the character which
General Veile would give to those boat
men was tho fact. Many prominent farm
ers would send their own produce, several
uniting to fill boat, or merchants and
other men would buy produce, fill boat
and send it down the river in sober hands
Christians of all grades, even to tho
preacher operated flatboats. One preach
er remember, ran those boats even as
long as Lincoln is said to have run on one
and raised family of boys who nearly all
did the same running the most of their
lives, while many such boatmen rose from
that humble calling to be steamboatmen
even to captaincies. The late Captain
David, who recently died in Madison, had
his start on Il flatboat moro than 80 years
ago. This little story about one of the
best citizens whom Vevay ever had may
show Just how near "drunkard' got 70
being u natboatman. George G. Knox
was, first of all, a Methodist and tenn
pcrance man, and at first wool carder,
then a steam flour miller, and lastly q
fatboatman, at least so far as loading a
boat at the Vevay wharf. He had no pa
thence with drunkard, but accidentally got
hold of fellow to help him load his boat
who soon developed the whisky in him SO
strongly as to cause the good man to pull
off his coat, throw it on the ground and
say to it, "Lie there, Methodist, until l
thrash the whisky out of this fellow"
And as he was large and stout he so wal
lopcd the fellow as to sober him, and he
returned to work. There is the story of
old Heathcote Picket--of his tlatboating
experience before any steamboat floated
on the western waters. l heard him relate
it in my very early youth, and he lived to
be over 100 years old. He made 16 trips
on flatboats to New Orleans and walked
back every time through the Indians
country and was always treated kindly by
them.-Indianapoli Journal.

LOUIS NAPoLEON'S MARRIAGE.
His Search For n Wife Before He Was
Welded to Eugenie.

Louis Napoleon had not the faintest in
tcn'ion of making the handsome Spanish
girl his wife either in the near or remote
future. If proof of this were wanted, it
would be found in the fact of his having
as good as solicited the hands of several
royal princesses during the period-tho 12
months Immediately preceding his mar
riage-when he was supposed, and not I'M
justly, to he simply frantically in love with
Mile. de Montijo. Cmlebs in search of
wife was nothing to it. The dowager
Duchess Of Baden (Stephanic dc Bcauhar-
nais), the Duke Of Lcuchtcnberg (anothcr
relative on his mothers Me) and Don
Francis d Assist the husband of Isabella
of Spain, were successfully but fruitlcssly
appealed to by him to provide him with a
spouse. Finally, just month before the
public announcement of the emperor's be-
trothal to Mile Eugenio dc Montijo, no

of Princess Adelaide, and week later the
queen and Prince Albert were still dis

the subject.
The new emperor's offer was kept pro-
found secret at the time, at tho urgent re-
quest of Prince Hohcnlohe himself, who
feared that the prospect of being empress
of the French might prove too dazzling for
his daughter, while he, her father, was in
no way fascinated by it. From his point

herself did not oppose the alliance, al

Working For Uncle Sam.

There are government positions which
hold out excellent possibilities in the way
of developing a young mans qualities,
writes Edward W. Box in The Ladies'
Homo Jouraal. But these are rare. For
the most part, and on general principles
l would not advise any young man to en-
ter the employ of the government-that
is, if he has any ambition. A government
position holds out attraction to the average
young man because he feels it is safe-that
is, so far the payment of his salary is con
cerned. Then, too he is apt to believe
that government salaries are somewhat
higher than the salaries attached to civil
pursuits. But TO my mind, he buys these
''surc" elements at very dear cost to
himself.
The average government clerkship is Il
very poor affair. Not only is it poor in it
self; but, in ninety cases out Of hundred,
it means pure clerical routine. 1t has
about it peculiar sitting monotony and
restraint which are apt to quench the fire
of ambition. Promotion is impossible upon
the same lines as in business house. The
chances for development are meager
While there are exceptions to the general
rule, government service is not the best
thing for any young fellow. He will be
wiser if he enters into the more fearless
freedom of civil pursuits and leaves the
average government position alone. In
the first, he can be what he likes in the
latter, it is doubtful.

TIE STOCkBROKER.
He Is Americas Single Contribution to ths
Callings of the World.

Our single and signal contribution to
the callings of the world has been the
apothcosis Of q stockbroker. For the last
% years the well to do father and mother
and their sons in our large cities have been
under the spell OF "a craze for the brokerage
business. The consciousness that the re-
inemcnts of modern living cannot adc-
quately be supplied in large city TO
family whose income does not approx
mate $40, 900 year is a cogcnt argument
in favor of trying to grow rich rapidly,
and both tn, promising young man and
the general utility man welcomed the new
calling with open AIMS.
1mpcllcd by the notion Slat here was
vocation which required no special knowl-
edge or attachments and very little cap
ital, which was pleasant, gentlemanly and
not unduly combining and which promised
large returns almost in the twinkling Of
an eye, hun and thousands of young
men becarle brokers, chiefly stockbro-
kers, but also cotton brokers, note brokers,
real estate brokers, insurance brokers and
brokers in rearly everything.
The field was undoubtedly rich one
for those WHO first entered it. There was
a need for the broker, and he was speedily
recognized as valuable addition to the
machinery Of trade. Many huge fortunes
were made, and we have learned to asso-
ciate the word broker with the possession
of large means, an imposing house on a
fashionable street and diverse locked and
stylish horses. There are stockholders in
all the great capitals of the world, but
nowhere has the vocation swallowed up
the sons of the best people to the extent
that it has done here during the last 80
years. And yet, apart from the opportuni-
ty 1t affords to grow rich rapidly, what
one good reason is there why promising
young man should decide to buy and sell
stocks for n iyings-Robert Grant in
