Hard Fighters In Law.

"Clients love hard fighter, and the
onlookers are impressed with his zeal, !"
says Richard D. Doyle in an article on
Claw and Lawyers" in The Southern
Magazine. "In my own experience I
have had cases where / advised my eli
ents not to sue because was sure they
had no chance, and although they fol-
lowed my advice, instead Of employing
other counsel, they refused to pay q
reasonable fee and in one case left me
to pay the court costs. And have sell
dom advised a client to compromise or
submit to arbitration that did not dis
please him. 1t requires moral courage
to advise one against his inclinations,
but it is sometimes a lawyers sacred
duty. Whatever may be said as to its
morality or true wisdom, yet l must
say I regard this aggressive and partisan
spirit more conducive to modern success
than profound Judgment, for I have
seen lawyers succeed chiefly by reason
of it in whom the logical faculty was
not at all conspicuous. In speaking OF
success, it will be observed that do not
mean the eminence of such men as Err
skine, Writ, Webster, William Pinckney,
Rufus Choate and Charles O'Conor, but
such success as is attained by the lead
ing members of the bar in every town
or city of the United States, who have
a good practice, sometimes very lucra-
tive, though they are unknown to fame
and forgotten outside their neighborhood
when they are gone. F"

An italian Festival.

Toward midday the crowd attains its
largest proportions; then the suspension
of the church services. hunger and
fatigue help to lessen its number.
Groups form under the trees and picnic
others surround the "friggitori' who
are busy frying chickens, fish, sweet
breads, rice balls and many other COM
pounds in the boiling oil Of their great
copper pans. In the wineshops there is
much drinking going on, intermixed
with laughing, jesting, fooling, quarrel
ing, the townsfolk numerically jeer-
ing at the country people, some of whom
laugh with and at their tormentors,
while others preserve a sulky silence.
The Republicans begin to sing choruses
which are professions of their political
faith, to which the socialist group re-
plies with gibes, also sung in chorus.
The simple melody once united to the
stornello, artless outpouring OF lovers
joys and sorrows, sung at happy har-
vests and merry vintages and by the Sc
rene voices of peasant maidens at work
in quiet fields, is degraded and welded
to rhymed doggerol, spiced with insult
and blasphemy.
On the steep banks under the thick
lick shade many are asleep. The coun-
try women, with their smooth, closely
braided heads lying on their white kerr
chiefs, rest like dreaming saints in the
sleep of the just. In other patches of
shade other women are lying with di-
sheveled hair and flushed faces. In all
the vulgar boldness of holiday makers
from the town they are sleeping off the
1s,able effects of the sun and wine. -

Slept Twenty Years In q Coffin

1t is seldom that man dies in a cof-
fin, but that is exactly what old Barney
Frickers Of Alliance, o.. did when he
finally gave up the ghost in the fall Of
1890. Fer more than 20 years old Bar
ney had been haunted with the idea that
he was on the verge Of the grave. Ev-
cry evening he declared that he would
never again see the sun rise. He con-
stantly brooded over his queer halluci-
nation and never allowed himself to go
to sleep without being carefully pre-
pared for death and burial. Every night
he robed himself in his grave clothes
and solemnly laid down in his coffin
and passed the night firmly believing
and probably hoping that for him the
day would never dawn again. Finally
death came; but, grim and sly as he
was, he did not find old Barney unpre-
pared. The coffin in which this queer
old character had SO often awakened
disappointed was Of his own make and
was said to have been curiosity in it
self, being literally covered with all
kinds, patterns and sizes of categorical
carving st. Louis Republic.

REAL PIRATES.
Ehcy Exist In the Malay and Eastern Wa
ters Especially.

AS a matter Of fact, there are plenty
of pirates extant, although they are sell
dom so bold in any sea as to attack yes
sci flying a European flag. The Malay
and eastern waters swarm with SEEM
ingly commercial junks and proas'
which wear all the air of respectabillty,
but are none the less on constant watch
for becalmed traders and cargo ships I'M
dermanned. In the Formosa channel the
outward and homeward bound passen-
gers will see apparently innocent vessels
leisurely drifting in pairs before the
wind. They drag between them huge
cable, to which is fastened a sweepnet,
and if nothing better turn up, they have
to be content with what tunnies and
turtle they may thus catch off the Pes
catores or the Paracels, or in those wa
tiers, the home Of the cyclone, where
rises the lonely Piedra Blanca. If, how
ever, Tonkinese or Chinese rice or
opium boat drifts by and no embarrass-
ing European is near, the nets are drawn
in, the swarthy fishermen get out their
spears and muskets, and combine to
board and ravage the unlucky trader,
cutting the threats of all on board and
sinking the junk when she has been
thoroughly cleaned out.
Instances have been known in which
Canton or Fuchau pirates have shipped
as seemingly harmless and respectable
voyagers on board even European steam
ships. sailing out of Chinese ports, and
have risen, when the vessel was well at
sea, and massacred her captain and
crew. In such case one hears of it, for
European blood is an expensive liquid
to spill in the east, but no mention ever
comes TO public ears of the hundreds of
Craft sailed and owned by natives, which
year by year, in the seas east of Singa-
pore, fall victims to the treacherous pl-
rate of the Malay peninsula, or Celebes
or Javan archipelago.
A we'll manned merchant ship, with
q maxim gun on board, would be fairly
safe, for they can only attack in their
boats, and any quick firing cannon Of the
modern type would be more than they
could comfortably face. A steamer, too,
as long as her engines keep going, is per-
fectly secure, for their best chance is IN
those dead Gains which come upon the
easterrzeas when the trader is helpless
ly fixed, while the water rats" can
bring their dhow or proa close up with
long sweeps and finish off the rest IL
their boats.-London Telegraph.

Rats In the Thames.

A strange sight was seen in London
at the great fire in the grain warehouses
near Blackfriars' bridge. AS the build
ings, which were on the waters edge,
were burning black mass was seen in
the river floating from the Surrey to the
Middlesex side. 1t was composed of
thousands of rats, cut off from escape on
the land side. About 10000 of them
succeeded in crossing the river, but were
then unable to get up the smooth side
of the Thames embankment and were
carried down stream and drowned.
