Earnings OF English LAWYERS.

1t is observed in England that most
young men fresh from the universities
are abandoning the study of law for
medicine. Perhaps this is not 80 strange

The town of Lubec, Me-, rs one OF the
go-ahead villages of the Pine Tree state,
and the one thing wanting to enable il
to keep up with the procession is
hearse. The citizens investigated the
condition of surrounding towns, and
learned that every one of them had
hearse, and they considered ii burning
and municipal shame that Lubec should
be so far behind the times. Therefore.
it was resolved TO have one. although.
according 10 the rates of longevity in
Lubec, il was not considered likely there
would be much use for it, says the
Lewiston Journal.

called to discuss the grave subject The
enthusiasm was unbounded. and il
was at once decided TO purchase the ve-
hicle by voluntary subscriptions, max.

Clipped in one dollar. but the wary and
thrifty Lubecker insisted upon n pro-
viso whereby he is enabled TO get

imously agreed that if any stakeholder
had use for the hcarse within a certain
number of years from the date of his
subscription, he, the said subscriber,
should be entitled to a rebate Of the
sum paid in.
Now the Lubecker awaits the APP

which the latter We're victorious, mainly
because their antagonists apparently
made no effort to win. Less, than two
hundred people saw the contest which
was waged under lowering skies and in
the teeth of drear east wind. Besna-
han started in to pitch for the "Sena-
tors" but was replaced by Swain. The
visitors run in the first was a clean
case of steal upon Selbach's part, that
energetic young man having run in from
third while Amole and Clarke were mus
ing over their agility in having put Nc
Guire out at first. When they aroused
themselves Selbach was safe. The home
team then took the lead and held it un-
Ill the fourth inning, when the visitors
found Amole's pitching to their liking
and three doubles and two singles
brought in four runs. After that no
one seemed to take the slightest interest
In the game and Umpire Hurst called it
at the end of the eighth inning without
any apparent reason other than that he
was tired of it. All others concerned
felt the same way about it, and the sea-

that the withdrawal from circulation of
45,000,00O in cash at one time might
have very serious effect in the money
market and in consequence are devisIng
