The Lawyer
; - From the Chicago Times of the &lh, we take the following preliminary "observations,'' on I this prolific subject. It Is rich and racy. ; BXODIUM. THB ORIGINAL LAWTOK Here is a little reasoning -of the ajllogiiticr order: . ; v :-r , ! -Th lawyer is the result (the effect) of law. Law is the result of evil. Evil results from the devil. Ergo, the lawyer ..s - The writer will leave the conclu aion to be filled oat by the reader. Any man is logician enough to draw a conclusion in a case where the premises are stated as clearly as they are in the present in- ' stance. I Jest when the first lawyer made
his appearance on earth ia not known. Probably the gentleman - who entered Eden came ? as near
being a lawyer as one could sup
pose. There was a code, "The day
thou eatest of this fruit, thou shalt
surely die.
. This was the law under which
the first lawyer commenced brae
wee to 'practice on Eve. It was a fine case of special pleading he developed on that occasion. He proceeded to explain the law. A
sort of an original constitutional
lawyer, he went to work to inter
pret a constitutional , law . which
had been enacted by Jehovah him-
;" seir. .;. ,; ;;, : He discovered new meanings in - the document. He did what many . other lawyers can do: He made a I law appear to mean the exact opposite of its real character. Undoubtedly, he limited himself large- . ly to jury eloquence. - There were no precedents for his assertions. There were no decisions to be cited. Nothing was said of common
law. He simply did as other law yers will do when they have a case in which the law and the facts are all against them, and stoutly as- ; sorted that white was black. And he won. He is not the only lawyer whose tongue has given utterance to a torrent which has carried the obstacle of law books, evidence, and common sense all before it. The effect of the able plea of the original lawyer was that, while he won his case, his client cot the
worst of it. The immediate result was that a writ of ejectment was issued and served upon Eve and her husband. They lost their homestead, and were kept out of it by a bailiff, who, in place of a staff, menanced them with a flaming sword. Such was the co6t of the first suit. The law .business has in- . creased vastly since, but the expense has not decreased. To win a first-class suit now will cost not greatly less than it did originally. . THK NEXT CASK ON RECORD. After the decision of the suit in Eden, there seems no record of any other cases during the earlier ages. The next reported law case ia in Job, where there i9 an account of Satan's wandering up and down the earth among the sons of men. He was probably on circuit busi
ness at that time, although there is no record of his cases, exceot the
one in which he acted as prosecu
ting attorney and tried to convict Job on a trumped-up charge. In this, his second recorded case.
the original lawyer was unsuccess
ful. The court before which the case was tried wa3 the Supreme A - 0 .1 .
court oi me universe., xne original lawyer did his best; but it was
no petit jury before whom he made his argument. Eloquence, sophistry, and all that were of no avail before the Court .to whom he ad
dressed bis elaborate speech. The
decision went against ' him, and he left, baffled and humiliated.
It is a fact worthy of note that, while the case was in piogress, the party on trial, Job, lost every dol
lar of his possessions. So soon as he got his case out of court, he speedily regained his wealth. . His case, as well as that of Eve
proves, ia connection with modern instances, that law is very expensive.
The man who was worsted never nOOmmettced aiw-aaiioja. for assault and , battery; but he laid low until he'became well, and then got judg
ement and costs out of his opponcut
witli a piece of rock, or the limb ot a tree. Vi ;: tt:; ARBITRATION. ' f ' Evidently, bo long as men were in a slate of war, there could be no law or lawyers. The only suppoa-
able case is, that in a war among
. some savage tribes there was a series of drawn battles. Some third tribe, at this juncture, wishing to obtain the aid. of -' those two tribes
for "the purpose of whipping out
some other enemy, stepped into the
breach and offered - to arbitrate on the matter concerning which the
original two were fighting. ,Arbi
: .ration -was" accepted. The best fighting men were held in reserve,
white the best talkers on both sides I were sent forward to present the
claims or the respective sides.
w e.The first case of arbitration was in time followed by others. It and
its immediate successors became a
species of precedent for other cases,
Naturally, the men who argued
these cases, and who assisted at their decision, grew into some repute. They were wanted to settle other similar., cases because they
had experience. Fart of them as
aisled as judges, and part of them
as advocates. In this way occurred the primal division of bench
and bar. '
; Men, in time, when they were too weak or too cowardly to fight out
a quarrel '.carried it before these
, wise men and obtained their decis
ion. While medicine grew from
men's weakness, . the practice of
law has grown from their coward
ice. -: - WHAT IIS IS, SOT WHAT HE WAS
But there is no particular use in following out the origin of law and lawyers. What is contemplated is to deal with these thing as they
are, and not as they might have been in the pre historic ages.while
man was in an intermediate state between Mr. Darwin's apes and his subsequent development. , There
may be doubt as to what was: there
is little or no question as to what
is. What the early lawyer may
have been may be a matter concer
ning wnicii there may be a hun
dred different conclusions all of
which may be wrong. What he is
to-day can be ascertained by any
competent man who can investi
eate a lawyer in every tuira man
he meets anywhere in civiliza
tion.
Advice to Parents.
, . f BY MARK TWAIN. . . ... , Having reflected deeply for half
an hour upon the subject of domestic discipline, I feel like sparing a
few suggeatioas relative to the best
method of v bringing nn children.
Being a bachelor without children,
my suggestions are as likely to be
disinterested as if I had never seen
a child. ': ' - ''- "
According to my observation, the
most difficult time to bring up chil
dren is in the morning. You pan sometimes, -though seldom, bring them up itfthe morning by yelling
at them; but the effectiveness of
this process diminishes , with its
repetition, even when not entirely neutralized by the children's trick of stopping. their ears with the bed
clothes.-1 The only prompt, effec
tive, and absolutely reliable method
is to bring-them np by the hair.
If your chud has a good healthy scalp, without any tendency to pre
mature baldness, this method will work with.gratifying efficiency. Try it about once a week, and you
will be surprised to observe how its influence will extend through the six days, inspiring your child with
the liveliest possible interest in the resplendent pageantry of sunrise. To bring up a darling child by the hair requires the exercise of some
energy and-firmness ; but no affec
tionate parent will hesitate at any
little sacrifice of this kind for the
welfare of bis offspring
Nothing can be more fatal to

ANCKSTBAL snobbery. That the devil first took up the profession or law need not bring the blush to the cheek of the most
worthy member of the legal pro fession. There are but few people who would care to have their an ccstrai tree too closely examined. If Darwin be not greatly mistaken, any genealogical reaearches on the part of men and women would result in most humiliating disclosures.' What a thing came from, is of no consequence, what it is, is the
supreme issue. Tha genii jman need not blush that his ancestry were apes, nor need the lawyer be ashamed of the fact that his legal progenitor was the devil. WEIGHTY SPECULATIONS. How and when the profession and practice of law passed from the original lawyer into the hands of some human being, history, tradition, rumor arc Bilcnt. The probabilities are that the practice of
law, as carried on by the original lawyer, becamo one of the lost arts, and was afterward discovered by
later generations, the same as glass-
blowing.' .;.
Just at what particular stage of
man s develment from barbarism
in the direction of civilization the lawyer would appear, is not very
clear to the speculative observer
When men cracked each other's skulls, as they did incessantly in
earlier ages, one can easily see
when the doctor would come in. When men settled differences with clubs there was no use for courts. There could be no cases of trover or trespass when two men, instead of going at to law, wenteach other.
The New Lincoln Statue.
Erom a Letter by Don Piatt.
as ior tne statue useii, it is so much better than we had a. right
to expect, and being the work of
quite a pretty little girl, criticism
is disarmed, l should not say a word, - but from the melancholy
fact that a project is now being agitated to have more of the same
f ort from her little - hands. It is proposed that Congress shall have another inspiration, and a graven image of old Farragut put up by the . side of Lincoln. This is abominable, and not to be endured without a . protest. I say, then, that this statue of Lincoln fails in precisely what the friends of the artist claimed, and that is genius in the conception, while the execution of the work creates a suspicion that more expert hands, such as can be obtained in Europe for a reasonable price, gave the finishing touches. The face resembles a lirid mask, taken from dead features by means of plaster, and is totally devoid of expression. This statue tells no - story, whatever.
lne head is thrown forward in a thoughtful, musing attitude, while the right hand is thrust forward
with a roll of paper, indicative of action. Between the head . and hand there is no harmony what
ever. The awkward, grotesque appearance of Mr. Lincoln's figure
in the beastily, every-day wear of
ordinary life, is sought to be re
lieved by the folds of a cloak that
is stuck to the back in the most surprising manner, indicating that
the ungainly, awkward subject had
been studying a pose, and fixed
his drapery precisely to suit the artist. Between the cloak and the 'figure there ia as little harmony as
between the bead and the hand
while the legs come in on their base, and have, like every other Dart, a storv of their own. Nine
out of teu of the ordinary stone cutters of the country would pro duce as good a work as this of the pretty little girl who fell an heir to Carpenter's Congress inspiration. How long, O Lord, how long is
the great National Capital to be cursed with these crude abominations of ignorance? The true artist, shy and sensitive, works un known in his or her poor home, through heart breaking obstacles up to fame, while these rough law
makers listen to pleading beggars for the public money, that our ecs
m:iy be shocked and the nation dis graced. Where is the imagc-brea.
ker and the destroyer of spoiled
canvas, and where is our Providence " who keens us a nation?"
your discipline than to allow your
children to contradict ' you. If
you happen to be betrayed into any
misstatement or exaggeration ' in their presence, don't permit them to correct you. Right or wrong,
you must obstinately insist on your
infallibility, and promptly suppress every symptom of peurile skeptic
ism with force if need be. The
moment you permit them to doubt
your unerring wisdom, you will begin to forfeit their respect and pan
der to their conceit. There can be
no sidder spectacle than a parent
surrounded by olive branches who
think they know more than he does.
I vividly remember how my father,
who was one of the most rigid and successful -disciplinarians, quelled
the aspiring egotism that prompted me to correct a careless remark (when he was reckoning a problem in shillings) that five times twelve
was sixty-two and a half, 'bo, said be, climbing over his spectacles and surveying me grimly, Ye think yo know more'n yer father hey ? Come 'ere to me. His invitation was too pressing to be declined, and for a few excruciating moments I reposed in bitter humiliation across his left knee, with my neck in the embrace of his left arm. 1 didn't see him demonstrate his methematicai accuracy with tho
palm of his. ijght band on the largest . patch .of my trousers, but I
felt that the old man was right ;
and when, after completely eradi
cating my faith in the multiplication table, he asked me how much five times twelve was I insisted
with tears in my eyes that it wns sixty-two and a half. 'That's right,' said he, 'I'll larn ye to re
spect yer lather, ir l nave to thrash
ve twelve times a day. . Now go n
water them nosses, n oe nveiy.
too.' The old gentleman did't per-
mit my respect tor him to wane
much until the inflammatory rheu
matism disabled him ; and even then he continued to inspire me
with awe until I was thoroughly convinced that his disability was permanent.

crowning grace oi cniiauooa. When you tell your child to do
anything, and he stops to inquire
why, it is advisable to kindly but
firmly fetch him a rap across lue ear, and inform him 'that's why !' He will soon get in the way of starting, with charming alacrity, at the word of command.' One of the most inveterate and annoying traits of children is inqnisitiveness. If you are inconsiderate enough to attempt to gratify their omniverous curiosity you may as well prepare to abdicate, for you will be nonplused by their questions a dozen times a day, and
in a weelc your sagacity win be hopelessly compromised. An average child is a magazine of unanswerable and disconcerting con
undrums. You cant expect children to have much reverence for a
parent whose ignorance they can expose twice out of three times trying. It is well enough to an
swer an easy question now and then, just to convince them that you can when they come to you
with a poser, tell them, 'un, you

much to the annoyance of its editors. Another class of people
seem to thins that exchanges . are

approptiate and carry them off, without as much as sa)ing "by

to the date, being just as likely
if not more so, to take the latest exchanges, instead of those a few days previous. Others think an

WALTHAM c-
WATCniES.
The entensive use of these watches for the
lait fifteen years by Railway Conductors. Engineers and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch wearers, has thoroughly demonstra
ted the strength. - steadiness, durability and
accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To satisfy
that class in all these respects, is to decide the question as to the real value of these timekeppera. ; -
, More than r.lK,(JO ot these watches are nnsr speaking fi r tlirm&elvcs in the pockets of the people a prool nod a guarantee of their superioi ity over all thers. The superior organization and great extent of the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them to produce watches at a price which renders competition futile, and those who bny any other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent, more for their watches than is necessary.-. " '.' :-: J ''. These time pieces combine every impiovement that a lontr experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making originating in this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe testing by the most skillfull artisans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and enduring time-keeping, r - ; Among the many improvements we would particnlarize: ' :- - - The invention and nse of. a centre pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main springs,
is original with the American Watch Compa-
nv. who, havrosr bad the relusal ot an otner
contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as
being tbe best and faultless. " Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watches. - n. . . All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps protecting the movement from dust, and lessening tbe necessity of tbe frequent cleaning necessary in all watches. Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch is already a decided success, and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market, and by far the cheapest wstch of its quality now offered to the public. To those living in portions of the United States where watchmakers do not abound, watches with the above mentioned improvements which tend to ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience, must pi ove invaluable. - The trademarks of the various styles mad by the Company are as fo lows: .

Of all diseases that flesh is heir to, none are so certain to produce death as those of the Heart and Lungs. Persons suffering from diseases of the Heart are liable to drop down dead ot any moment, unaware of any more than usual difficulty of breathing, or
latigue. now oiten do we near of some friend or acquaintance dying while sitting at his or her meal, or found dead in bed; and still more frequently do we hear that such a one bad only slight fluttering at the heart; others drop dead while performing some light labor, or with the least excitement; while the invalid suffering from diseases of the Lungs, is slowly but surely dying by inches, without some judicioui treatment to aid nature to throw off diseases Irom the Lungs. - To easily cure the above diseases, first requires im
mediate attention to every symptom that may"!
S resent itseir, at tne dinerent stages ot the isease; and the treatment should be in accordance with each symptom. Thousands suffer untold misery from resorting to unqualified pretenders of tbe age, who profess
to understand the treatment of diseases of
the Heart and Lnngs, but who in reality know
but little of the diseases, except a sligLt knowledge that they have scqnired by read
ing the suggestions ot some conceited author, whose experience in too many instances has been but meagre at best; many ot whom hare perhaps never disected the Heart or Lungs after death. In order to be a successful
pisctitioner in the treatment of Heart and 'Lung diseases, requires a constant, extensive
practice, to enable the person to make a cor
rect diagnosis of tbe disease. This done, be
must be well posted in its treatment, since this can only be accomplished bv treating
many thousand similar cases. Thousands of lives are annually sacrificed by the employment of unskilled physieians, in the treat
ment of diseases of the lieartand Lungs.
How often do we sae and hear of persons almost cone with Consumption in fact, eiv-
en up, by perhaps, a dozen doctors; who, ultimately, by placing themselves under the treatment of some eminent physician, become healthy and sound, or at all events, as much so as the nature of their disease could
possibly admit of. Instances of this kind ! are familiar to thousands. A consumptive man of means who thinks more of his health than he does of his money, eeldem loses an opportunity of consulting a physician who bas attained a high reputation in the treatment of that particular class of diseases in which be is most interested. Hence it is few of this class, comparatively speaking, die for want judicioustreatment; at least; their life is prolonged in their cases for many years. While on the other hand a man of narrow contracted mind who is conceited withal, thinks that Lis family or home physician, of a particular creed, is fully capable to perform the desired results. Thus he places himself under tbe care ofn experimenter, losing time and bealth, until finally too late for any human aid; continuing to sink under the treatment of cod-liver oil and stimulants, till at last be shufles off this martal coil And for what? Just for want of manly independence; a free heart; free
purse; -and a judicious course of treatment from a physician of experience in treating
many tnoosann similar cases to ins own.
