FornInst the Lawyers.

From the Memphis Commercial-AppeaL
 A solon by the name of Pearce. from Marion County, Alabama, has distanced all competitors in the race for fame by preparing as part of the new consti- tuition, now in process of formation, provision prohibiting any one learned in the law from holding any office save that of judge, and we do him the credit to presume, public prosecutor and at torney. Blackstone told young English men in his commentaries that as her editary legislators they should study law and familiarize themselves with it, for the reason that it would be ab- surd for any one to undertake to make a new law who was ignorant of the old and already existing laws. We cite this fact, not to discredit the distin- guished Alabamian, but as the young lawyer explained, while begging per mission to read from the great author to a judge who had already decided the point against him, "just to show what a blamed fool old Blackstone was."
 If the distinguished statesman de- sires to make his calling and election sure to any office, from constable up, be should protect the dear people from those sons of Belial by making 1t a criminal offense for any one to become "learned in the law" those guilty to be hung, drawn and quartered, without benefit of clergy, and buried, like the man who killed the thing he loved,' ,'' in uuicklime. It would be bugle call to the faithful on hill and dale, in cove and ravine, and it would not reduce the number of those practicing law as much as some may think.
 A Legislature without lawyer in 1t would be curious aggregation, and no mistake. The corporation lawyers would have jubilee. There would be passed laws in favor of the plain peo- pie which would prove rich reading.
 In any other trade man must serve a time and term to learn it, we are told, with the exception of the trade of critic, this class being already made; our amiable Alabama solon would add lAe trade of lawmaking, for which dense ignorance he conceives to be the chief qualification. He is r1gidly forninst the lawyers.

quis Ito, Count Okuma, Count Itagald and others now dead-were keen-sighted enough to see that to preserve the inde- pendence and the dignity of their coun- try it was necessary to fight the foreigner with his own weapons. They were all men belonging to the hereditary gentry of Japan, but, as it were, to the democ- racy of gentility. None of them belonged to high families, and in the old order of things their splendid abilities would not have raised them from obscurity. Their personal ambitions, therefore, coincided exactly with the policy they saw was necessary for their country's welfare.
 Having obtained the power, they set to work with minds enlightened by foreign travel and totally emancipated from old fashioned ideas. Almost at a blow, as preparation for the grand scheme of mod ernization, they destroyed the old feudal system and created a new order of so- ciety. But this tremendous revolution brought with it consequences which have had a vast effect on the country's policy It Is not difficult in a more or less abso- lute country to sweep away an institution by stroke of the pen, but it is impossible to do without a vast social disturb ance.
 A great military class-the armed re- tainers of the old nobility. men bred only to fighting, disdaining labor and, above all, trade-were practically cast adrift without means of livelihood It was at one time no uncommon thing to find a messenger "boy" or a jinriksha coolie whose ancestors had been soldiers for a hundred generations, and who considered himself vastly higher in his than the millionaire merchant whom he served.
 This class was a great danger and em- barrassment to the reformed government Some provision had to be made for them, and revolutionary outbreaks here and there showed 1t would have to be on large scale.

LITTLE THINGS.

By Henry Van Dyke.
 Only little shrivelled seed It might be a flower or grass or weed; Only box of earth on the edge Of narrow, dusty window-ledge; Only few scant summer showers; Only few clear. shining hours That was all. Yet God could make Out of these, for sick child's sake A blossom wonder as fair and sweet As ever broke at an angels feet. Only life of barren pain.r Wet with sorrowful tears for rain; Warmed sometimes by a wandering
 gleam
 Of joy that seemed but a happy dream A life as common and brown and bare As the box of earth in the window there; ct 1t bore at last the precious bloom Of perfect soul in a narrow room Pure as the snow leaves that fold Over the flowers heart of gold.

Unexpected Effect of a New Canal.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 The opening oI Chicago's big drain age canal has had a curious and unex- pected effect upon one of the industries of the Windy City. In the past the lake fishing in the neighborhood of Chicago has provided a livelihood for a considerable number of that city s Inhabitants. The fish were seldom found near the mouth of the Chicago river, presumably because of the filthy condition of the water of that stream. Further out in the lake, however, they were found in considerable numbers and provided good sport-or business, as the case might be-for the wielders of hook and line.
 With the openig of the new canal a great change has come over tho con- dftions of life among Chicagus fishy neighbors. Amazed by the sudden ap- pearance of clear water in the mouth of a once filthy stream they have hur- ried to the scene of transformation to see what was the cause. Once in the grasp of the swift current that now flows apparently up the course of the Chicago river, they were swept into the canal and thence on into the Mississippi river. Te result is that tne fishing industry of the Windy City is in a languishing condition through lack of fish in Lake Michigan, while the Chicago river is rapidly gaining the reputation of having more fish in it's waters than any other stream in the world.
 Possibly there is some justice in this exit of fish from the waters of Lake h.ichigan in the neighborhood Of Chi cago. St. Louis has been forced to accept many of the bad features of the new canal; it seems only plain jus tlce that a few good things should come along at the same time,

Sir Thomas Upton by cable that he Is
willing to send his boat across the At
