CAN LAWYERS BE HONEST! This qut*ti«u Uouiej On^-ne uatl answer^ in The North American Review. H«? deals, he savs. with the reputable element of thu profession, the pvAt bc-dv of respocUtWf*. an-1 not at all with tht

who dis^rar*' tbttir proftwniun by tiw coodnrt of a highwayman or a hog." By way of information, perhaps, Mr. Grwrne informs us in the beinxwing that a g*.'nerai imprerwion in America that lawyers aa a class are dinhontsv Thia news is, however, hardly in the nattire of information.

Then th* writer asks the jnihlic some qnestious whk-h he wotUd like to havr? it stand up in conrt and answer nrider oath. He asks the c*Humanity to tttll him what it woold think of a lawyer who. knowing his client to W in the wrong, would for that rva^n decline to take his case. How many fee,s would that lawyer get who. though he knew poatively that his employer had stolen the horse, and if he got free would go on and steal othi*r horsed, yet on this account should ivfuse Ut take ad vantage h( a purely t»chnical error in the indictment ag:LinJt him to give him his liberty?

If a lawyer had positive knowledge in his |visspfiAion convicting hid own client and relaxing another accxwe*!. would public opinion anywhere justify him in ruaking ku^wn th«s»- Uu%.iR even to set an innocent man fre\ if thereby his own client wont to jail? No, it would not at least hardly ever. Thereupon Mr. Greene rightly conclndew that lawyers are exactly ILS lu)nest a.S they dare to got a living, and that they are exactly what their clients make thetn. Then he make.s the following unheard of snpposition:

Suppoejo the c-a^e were diflervnt. Suppose ever prospective Uti^ant wore to roliuve himself of ail ni&nnor of blame leforo r**fking the servlocri of a lawyer. w«re to apak^xe if an apology c&llod for. pay nmuey if money

done a wrong or committed enmu ainL, hav. ing ejcluinstcd every pfTort of thv k.ini thai a nic«i ftfute of honor would demand, supi**H he were Mill compelled to gt» to law to obtain or protoct hid ri^}»ta, Tv-hal would the re«nLt b*i if he should lay the maU**r fairly Ixifore hbi&tirtrney and Bay: "l want thui ea^e tricti openly and honorably. I don't want a »«uspir.k»n of unfairies»» or prejudio: or undue advantage of any kind to attach to it in any way?"

Why, tho roMtzlt would b« that the attorney wonid olwy iiuuructions and do s») eLtcrfuUy. And if the {)poking att/rney were similarly ln«trucUd. wiiAt an unusual and refreshing npectacle there would be in court when that CAM) should conx* oti for trial! Vet there are few aitorooya who would not rather, and far rather. c*mdurt a cause after this farthion thaii with the usual concealment, evasion, exagg»jratlon arul strained logic, if only they muld U' ftotiHfiod of the apirroval «f their rlient and tho appreriation of the public.

SEKATOK IYOPFXKE'S bill which has been recommended for passage providing that ejx'ctators at prize tight shall IK fined from $10 to ?lU0 strikes at a growing and prosperous industry of Montgomery couutv, Statcamun Carroll, when the bill reaches tbo House,^should see that the bill is promptly put to bleep.

There is nothing small ainut Kansas.

AMBIDEXTROUS MEN.

The late .T. A. Waios used iMth hands in making those famous cartoons of his. lie worketl rapidly either way, but preferred to use his left, hand rather than his n^ht.

Stephen iorard, the great philanthropist, used both hands with equal facility, although lie had a great aversion to exhibiting the faculty in the presence of company.

Some ot the lest Ivtseball players are two handed men. Kiiroy, Cieinent--, Titcomh. Siattery, (.iei/ein, Tom Hrown and Hill George all use the left hand naturally.

Napoleon could, ou a pinch, n.se the pen with his left, but this was an acquired rather than a natural faculty, duo. to an accidental injury to the thumb of the Wght hand.

Nearly every first c!as telegraph operator in the country is ambidextrous through acquirement. The right hand ued on'the key aud the left to "check oil'' dispatches with pen or pencil.

John Habburtou, the author.of "FTeleii's Babie*," is a two handed man.- When engaged on.a long article he changes from one hand to the other everv tifteen or twenty minutes, and s*i 1 «tigue.

Capt. Charier King, the. novelist, dcK*« the greater tiart of his writing, wnh his U-ft aaud. Ills brightest thoughts are evolved, De thinks, when the right. Jole of his brain rails lor the u^e of the motor muscles.of ais left side and viee ver^a.

Urrabieta. of J/IUuMrntion,better known amler his n«»n de plume of "Viergr," is not ?nlyahle to write with each !ia.nd at the *ame rate of .speed, but he can write two letters at once. The penmanship of one Ls running Italian, and the other back'hand. •T. p. Davison, the marine artist, i* ambidextrous He "lays on" with his right hand and doe.- the finer work with his left. One of his peculiarities, it is that he invariably paints the hull ami par ol a vessel with his left hand and the-^ea with his right.

Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, signs com mittee reports with his left hand and aftache* his signature to letters with his right. The .-enat.or has his "left handed week" and his ''right handed" week-—that is, he will u-e the pen for s:x days with one hand, h'nd for auother.-ix days with the other.

Professor George Martin Lane. Pope professor of Unin in Harvard, when at the blackboard begins to write with hi.* left hand, and rubs along until lie reaches-a point in line with hisTace. Then he shifM the chalk from hi« left hand to his right ami continues writing until,he reaches the

Alan did so. "Weil, tile tirst thing tu do." said uiii.de. "is to find out what is the value ol" tbe estate." "That's the last tiling1 in the book." "Kir.1 I am afraid I did not understand the example. You should leurn to read more plainly, young sir."

Alan read the example affain and uncle said: "till. yes. I see. I'lease get me some 1 paper and a pencil: you might get scveral sheets of paper so we will be sure to have enough." While Alan was getting the paper uncle said: "You don't mind my lighting a pipe, do yon. Mary'.' .1 can always work better when I'm .smoking. It's a habit I acquired in college. It seems to brighten my reasoning faculties." "Not .11 all." sweetly said the lady addressed. "1 believe the reasoning facilities should be as bright as possible.". 1 nele did not say any tiling' iu reply: ill l'aet. it was some time before he ut-t«-rcd a word. Then he looked up from a sheet of paper crowded witii ligures and said, impatiently:

There never was an estate ill the world divided ill such ail idiotic fashion. A inaii who would make sucli a will would be declared insane ill any court on earth, and the will would hc: broken-"• "l'erhapsthat is pure mathematics," suggesteiI a voice behind the paper.

I 'ncle broke lii-pencil point in some way just then, and when Alan sharpened it he got up on his knees in the '•'chair, with his feet tucked under him. and took a fresh sheet of paper. When that was nearly covered he said: j- "There!-there's your answer: ?t '.i-?7. and a pretty small estate that is to put into an arithmetic." "Why. unci.'." said Alan. "I don't see how that can lie, for tin1 da tighter got

"What kind of an artihinetic is this, any way?" growled uncle. "It's an i.utrage to make such books. When 1 was .1 boy we had sensible school books i'md—" -"That is your old arithmetic. Robert." 1 said the lady behind the paper. "When 1 found they were using- that kind. 1 told Alan lie might as we!! take yours as to buy a new one."

ncle got down from his chair, walked .-lowly around, the table, eliml.ed up again. "Is that, to change your luck, uncle?" asked Alan "They say it will do it." "Mary." said uncle, indignantly, "yon ought not to let Alan get such vulgar superstitions into lii- head. Mathematics, sir. arc not to be conquered by lllck." ... l-'resh sheetsof paper were taken and a anuze of 1'iguresgrew under uncle's hand. 'Around the edge of -jier paper Alan's mother saw experiments in proportion, alligation, arithmetical progression. and here and there a dash of algebra. I The domain of mathematics was ratisacked from center to circumference. and victory came at last. "That estate." said uncle, impressively, "was worth eaetly 1II and he said it in the tone of a man ready to light if I his word was disputed. 1 "I presume that is right." said Alan. \ny way. that is the answer in the Ll.'ook. Now here is an easy one—at i'least. our teacher says it is easy." and lie read: •'lraVineu l.i '.'I ilays. tiv working 10 hours a clay, can ilig 11 treiii-h 30 (eel lnnc.'ts rent.wide, miJ 12 feet deep, when the ground i- called.'! decrees of hardness, how mu:iy men in -Jays, in- working S lionrs a day. can die another trench IS feet lonif. 18 feet wide, and IS feet iteep: when the ground Is estimated at 5 degrees of hardness?'1

As step by step the features of this problem were presented to uncle, that gentleman slipped fiirthordowii into his chair. When the voice of the reader •stopped, he looked like nothing in the .world so much as (irandfatlier Smallweed. if that amiable old person could be imagined as deprived of even the presence of the "Hrimstone Cat!" The eyes of Alan's mother appeared over the paper and the abject appeal they saw in uncle's eyes could not be resisted. :. "Alan," she said, '-it is your bedtime. I'ncle is tired."

Alan gathered up his books, kissed hi- mother, bade the figure in the chair good-night, and said cheerfully: "We'll try pure mathematics next time, uncle," —N. Y. Sun.

SOCIETY" DISAPPEARING.

In this democratic nineteenth century. "society." in theoldand aristocratic sense of the term, is disappearing. I'eople of a certain class and certain means do certain things at certain times because other people of the same class and the same means do likewise.

I here is a universal tendency toward the equalization of luxury and of the exterior manifestations of refinement. Social habits are formed on the models established by two or three great centers ot' civilization. and all the life that you lind elsewhere is a more or less pale reflection of th real article. With the increase of facilities of communication originality of all kinds deereases, atid 1hc seal"'h for local color becomes more and more hopeless.—Theodore Child, in llarp: r's .Magazine.

-Tooth In.—Maud--"I have stieli terrible.pain in one of 1:13- teeth, but I am afraid to have it drawn." Cliolly— "Whv don't you have it photographed?"
