We believe, there is no diminution in the number of candidates for such legal honor* a* are left but in the quality of thoee candidates, there is a palpable depreciation. We cannot speak lor other places, bat in New York, the elite of the young men do not. es general thing, become students of law. When they do, it is becsute an uncle, ore father, or en imimete friend, is the possessor of business in which there is an opening and a protpect. In fact, to create a legal business in New York, it is understood to be just one degree within en impossibility. In the country, it i* less difficult but to sn honorable man, sometimes quite an imposible. For example, there i* a town about a hundred miles from New York, in which resides four young lawyers, whose united practice (a year ago) would have kept a cow in tolerable pasture. They were not the men to sit at their desks and patiently starve. On the contrary, they had no sooner got a license to practice, and tin plates painted, than they set about making a stir in the country, "to get" one of them hepilv termed it, "their nsmes up." A embraced the "temperance cause," *nd spoke at meetings. plunged into Odd-Fellowship, and passed his leisure moments in visiting Lodges snd advocating the Interests of the Odd-Fellows generslly. Qewcnt into extremities of politics, and got his name in ihe paper*. devoted himself to the churoh and advanced so far on the rosd to preferment as lo be sllowed to hand round the plate. These expedients, we are informed, have not been employed in vain and this fact alone—tha fact that such expedients could be successful—is almost enough of itself to put a stamp of infamy on the profession. We do not think it is going too far to say, that the law i* among the last professions that one would now recommend lo a young man of honor, spirit snd tslent. Among the elder members of the legal profession, there are men of the first respectability, of emineut talent and great worth but it is not the profession for a young man to ohoose in the year of our Lord 1863.

It is a talking fr6fessfon and what ia wsnted in these days is action, and the power of dissecting action. We want architects who to use the Isngusgeof Mr. Greenough, csn apply Greek principles, wilhout imitating Greek forms. This nation in the course

here, and on the other hand the taste universally diffused for magnifioence, we oannot resist the conclusion, that the United Statea is to furnish the largest and best field for the prsctioe of the architectural profession, that has has ever been afforded at any period, in any country, But those who practice that profession rrttiit have ideas.— Copyists we have already. We want men who will thoroughly aww/er their art. not be enslaved by it men who will seixe the great idea, that Beautf it utility perfected, and make it live in structures that shall answer their purpose to edmiration, yet gladden the eye and exalt the taste of thow who behold them.

Hoc Trade.

Some time «toee we spent near two week* in trsveling through portion* of Indiana heretofore remarkable for ihe large quantity ofhogs annually produced for we market. From the comparitively small number that we saw, we came to the conclusion that the crop of hogs this yeer, would fall considerably below the usual average, both in quantity and in weight. The opinion then formed in regard to the hog trade, we freely exprersed. And we have bad no oocasion to change that opinion} notwithstanding our neighbors over the river, seem to take a different view of the subject. Their mean* of information may be far better than our*—if so. their views should be eotitled to greater weight. But so far the fact* presented are not of a character to cerry coteeiction to our mind, that our position was bedly taken. On the contrary, there are many reasons that go to confirm us in the opinion previously expressed.

The unusual excitement pervading the country throughout last year, caused by the unprecedented activity of buyers for several months before the opening of the packing season, caused the farmers to sell everything that would pass muster, either for size or quslity. They sold off their large shoats, and even brood sows, to an extent eeldom before done, and then relied for homo supplies upon further drafts upon their young stock, cutting off still further, the means of furnishing a large supply this year. As evidence that the farmers sold off unusually cloae last year, witness the scarcity of supplies of bacon in the country the pMt summer. ls'l 'Die crop of corn which is spoken of in many sections as good, is not so universally. In many sections the lightness of the crop in connection with the demand lor grain for export, Sat., has enhanced the prices, that feeders will not buy, and the stock being thus left altogether in the hands of farmers, who having nad cause for discouragement, are not inclined to feed closely—many of them turning out their smaller hogs, preferring to rely upon the market for the ssle of grain, rather than for pork. The vastly increased facilitiea afforded to the interior, by our system of railroads, enable our farmers to choose the shape in which they will hereafter sell their crops, as also the market in which to sell -The unusual stimulus of last years excitement, it will be remembered, oaused over 20 per cent, more pork to be brought but it is

almost at a stand still. But we see that even that market is participating in the rapid rise in price and increased demand, which has withnta few weeks taken place in the other great markets of the country.

It need not be expected that in these days, when there is such a diversity in the demand for labor, and such a wide field for the employment of enterprise by our farmers, that they will send lo market any excess of so essential an article of food as pork, unless the prospect is favorable for remunerating prices. The grain that would be requisite to fit the pork for market, will as well produce beef, which is commanding large priccs everywhere. Horses and mules are no less in demand at good prioes and indeed it is questionable whether in view of the late rise in prices, and demand from abroad for breadstuff's, the grain will not pay better in the alack for export. The heavy feeding of last season not only had the effect of decreasing the stook tor this year's supply, but also caused a scarcity throughout the country and high prices for corn the past summer, so that young hog* have not been, as sometimes occurs, nursed into premature sixe and fatness. There will be no spring pigs brought to market this year, as were thousands lest season.

But why decry the prospots of the provision business the ooming season! Surely the products of tbe hog have been, and seem likely to continue to be, the cheapest of ell meats. Beef ia dear—so ia mutton—the fisheries have foiled te yield their usual proportion of food. Manufacturing, mechanical, and commercial pursuit*, together with the active proneoution of vast amount of internal improvements, not only ettrect from agricultural pursuits a vast population, hat they mast ail be fed, end we cannot nee how, it oan bo otherwise than that the business of the ensuing year will require even greater supply of the product* of the hog, then did even that of the pest year.—iVew Albmmjf flrihme, Oct. 19

TERRE-HAUTE,INDIANA, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4,1853.

fteWspeper Fertsse.

We were note little amused et reading the subjoined pithy commentary of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher of the newspaper rumor that certain admiring friends had presented him with the handsome sum of 115000, with which to purchase a residence, and make himself comfortable. Among the papers remarking On the circumstance, was the '"Christian Herald and Messenger." which ventured to give the fortunate donee this sentence of good advice:—"We trust he will be able to receive ell the adatation. and aU the wealth that his friend* pour upon him, and yet retain the humility, the simplicity, the faith, end erdor of an amb&st*dor for Christ. But unlest^ we ere deceived, there is a greet deal of danger in euch circumstances.'' Whereupon Mr. Beecher with some good humor, and world of covert sarcssm, replied:—HomeGazette. 1. We thank our friend for his wellmeant kindness. We no longer resist thet decree of the Amerioan public, which makes a man's privacy a pond for newspaper* to angle in end which ellows them to hang up for inspection the details of domestio affair* tike article* on exhibition at the Crystal Palace. A* we never have had the 15.00J given us, that is not likely to hurt us. But the meddling with our private affairs is much more real, and much more dangerous to our grace—the grace of good nature at any rate. Our cradle, our nursery, our lecture-room, in turn, furnish paragraphs. Religious newspaper publish them, almost without inquiry, especially if they smack of eccentricity. Rolling stones gather no moss but rolling stones do. 2. A few friends have enabled u* lo purchase a farm in Lenox, Berkshire county. Muss., which the deeds, with great definiteness, ssy contains, "ninety six acres more or lets," We gave for farm and buildings. 94,500. For the crops, stock, implements, &c., #1000 more. Total 85,500. Any person in search of useful information oan have further partioulars, as to terms of payment. and any other private publicities, by personal application to us. 3. A* we are reoeiving numerous letters of spplication from person* who wish to conduot our farm for us, we would inform rftl who are anxious to know, that we have happily aeoured our brothervia-law to reside upon the place, conduol it, and relieve us from all care and responsibility. He is a young man of about SO years of age reasonably good-looking married and ha* three promising children—-two girls and one boy. Any facts concerning his private affairs may be directed to Oliver Bullard, Lenox Mass. 4. We are reoeiving numerous applications by letter, and by persons, for donations of money, on the ground thet now we are rich and that a man who has received 915.000 ought to testify his gratitude to the public by liberal installments to individuals. Such persons will please see above, No. 2.

Rut if that be not satisfactory, we are willing to contribute for the next five years, every cent of our share of the net profit* of our farm, lo charitable uses. We will notify all interested when the dividend* are to be declared. 5. As the public may find out some other of our private difficulties, and accuse us of a want of

We are troubled to know whether to build at alt or not. The principal difficulty consist in the meens of paying for the house if we build one. At present we are not half as certain about the'sneans a* the newspapers are.

Next, we find that our economy end desire of room are at loggerheeds. We have (rked and remarked: we have tried two %.«ihiteots. and they have planned end re-planned and we find that it is impossible to build a large house with little money. It is a great pity, that it is so, but so it is.

Then we are at dead stand about the material, whether it ahall be wood or stoneStone of the finest -quality is olose et hand end very oheap—-but there ere moral reasons, as well es some others- For, the best •tone is a kind of marble end a marble country-house—that would ruin any minister's reputation. And so everything stands still. Well, the winter is before us. Something mey turn up yet.

pMSiSMMlw bis

tin Rerelstlos in Kitchen ssl Parlor. Tbe New York Mirror notice* somewhat in detail an invention by which the principle of heating end cooking by gas is successfully insured. It is patent owned by Skinner & Power, of BrookUn^ and its working is thus explained

The mod tu operandi is perfectly simple.— The common gas pipe is tapped at any point, an ldia rubber tube is attached by means of an ingenious coupling, composed in part of the same material, through which the gass is conducted to a smell iron plate—not much larger than one'e hand—that forms what may be called the stove. This plate is filled with perforations, containing asbestos, which concentrstes and diffuses all the heat The computation made by the inventor goes to show that a small office may be heated for the trifling sum of fiftoen cents a day. Admitting that a much larger amount will come nearer the truth, the advanteges of the invention are obvious. For lawyers and similar offices, where it is desirable to avoid tbe dust, dirt, and trouble of a coal fire, to say nothing of the expense of keeping an attendant, it is peculiarly adapted. A man can enter his office in the morning, turn on the gass, spply a match thereto, end the fire is instantly started, and by the time he gets comfortably settled down to his desk, the room will be wermed.

Of its complete success in cooking we can speak with a confidence founded upon careful observation and repeated experiments We have eaten meats cooked by this new process, and can vouch for their fine flavor as for the expense, we can speak with mathematical precision, having carefully computed the cost with Power and the President of the Bronklin Gas Company. To cook three pounds of mutton chops takes just 10 minutes of time, and costs only onethird of a cent to boil a kettle containing half a gallon of water, occupies exactly 12 minutes, and consumes less than a cubic foot of gas. To get up a breakfast of four dishes, say one for meats, a second for coffee, a third for potatoes, &o., and a fourth for eggs, or whatever else you please, will cost oulj 3 cents, and oan all be done within 15 minutes.

The gas pipes are tapped, and the connection with the cooking apparatus made in the same way that we have described for heating Fifty dishes oan be ooofted at the same time, if desired. A fine large turkey was roasted at the Astor House the other day by this process, and those princes of caterers, Messrs. Coleman & Stetson, pronounced this new mode ofoooking the most complete and succcssful in its results that they had ever witnessed. The days of stoves and cooking ranges are numbered.— The use of gas is to form apart of our domestio economy, *nd the kitchen will become an attractive place.

Many inventions of a somewhat simitar character have been brought before the public but they have all been radically defective. This is the first.time that the gas has been so thoroughly decarbonized that no smoke would gather upon ihe dish. Take the clearest gas burner in New York, plaoe polished metaLovcr the flame, and it will be instantly blackened.fe Take the brightest silver and hold it in the blaxe that Mr. Power produces, and it will scarcely dim the surface.

Mr. P. has apparatus for every ramification of the kitchen—even to healing a flatiron—that is ever required. An ironing-day will soon cease to be dreaded by housewives. He has a smoothing iron constructed in such a manner that it will be heated nearly a* soon as the gass is turned on —the gas is conducted into its body in the manner we have described, and can be graduated at pleasure the wooden handle through which the gas passer' before ignition, ie a nonconductor of heat, and the fiat can be used sll day without a holder.

We cannot go ioto the minute description of the various cooking utensils, but will say, in brief, that they ere all made upon the ssme principle The gas of one of our or dinary burners supplie* about fifty jetsforming a distributed and attenueted ftene —resembling in appearance the bluebh alcoholic flame, and saving every perttcle of the heat. The cooking i* all done by downward radiation the fire hi brought to the meats, not the meats to the fire. In roa*ting, the fire keep* bearing the meal ail the time, thereby aaving the cook all the trouble which he is now compelled to take.

The various jets unite end form a splendid sheet of flame, the heat of which increases in intensity the longer it burns, and which accounts for the greet economy of the invention. Every perttcle of the heat generated i* used—none of it being lost as is the ease now when the fire i* not cribbed and confined.

A company of capitalists have taken hold ot tbe matter, and will soon errct large factory for meking the cooking oteneile, eto eo that the publto wiil soon enjoy partiei^etioa of this new end vsluabie invention.

All honor to the projector or so b*p py en improvement: but ellow me to ask. when our young Misses become such pattern boueewives, in #bet -circles' they wtll look tor suitable companions! Not in the upper tendoni could they be found. Jusi fancy one of the tie-whiskered, be-seen ted. moustaohiod. exquisites, in companionship with one of Solomons maidens, who layelh her hsnd to the spindle, or playeth the shifttie, or oompoundeth rare cookery. What affinity would be between them) Tne same that exists between th.e butterfly and htjney bee—one all glare and glitter, and frUking movements, Ihe other all patient Industry and sobriety.

I oannot think of a more u*el«3s article, or one more out of place, in a room where work is progressing, than a fashionable young man. He knows so little about matters and things. I feel a pain until he is safe ly lodged in the parlor, among other thing* of "more ornament than use,' annuals and bijouterie.

It wiil never do to commence the reform entirely on one side I propose three branches more to be. added to tbe list of studies for finishing young gentlemen fashionably:— •Saw ology. Chop ology, Sphl ologv. and that, in addition to the rrqusite number ol -sheets, towels, spoons and napkin ring*,' each promising pupil be furnished with a new wood saw and axe well sharpened, and daily exercise with them to be practiced. Il will supercede the necessity of gymnasi urns.

FANATICISM

itussu.^s —A St. Pe

tersburg correspondent of ihe London Times, under date of July 22d. speaks of the -fanatical fustain" with which the Russian periodical literature is juet flooded, tending greatly to inflame the public mind He thinks the government act very injudiciously. if they intend a pacific termination of the Turkish question to allow of these things, as the Russian people may be worked Into such a state of excitemcnt tr to be beyond the control of the Russian1 government itself, by and by. A% an ilfustraffon of the state of feeling existing among different olsiscs, the writer says: The oommon privates of the Russian army—st least ihose removed from Ihe capital—believe, with reference lo this wsr, which they look on as oertnin, that "the Porte hss sold the key* of the Holy Sepulchre tt^JieJew#, *ni thst the world will go lo ihe dogs if the limperor does not rescue it fro?n prolanatton."
