Whoever heard of one of j them talking a fee in an unjust cause ? or doing | , a hard hearted thing ? or saying what lie did i uot beliere ? or encouraging litigation ? or*mis- j !. representing evidence to the jury ? or brow beating a modest witness ? or saving a villain by a i legal public quibble ? De Tocqucvillo rightly i says they are the aristocracy, that is, th i best < men of-the United States. Our own admiration ] of them is founded on a large experience of < their virtues. Lot us call up, for a moment, i from our pleasantest memories of the past, the images of a few lawyers of our own acquaintance. There is.our friend at Columbus, Mississippi, who never varies from his scale of charges, even . for friends. We sent him once for collection, a i bill of uine dollars against a subscriber. lie ; collected it the same day and sent ns, by return mail, his own bill for a fee of fifteen dollars, with i a polite dun for the unpaid balance of six. We remitted instatiler, thanking him for his prompt- * i uess. . I ( Then, there is an eminent counsellor, .at Lake | [ Providence, who charged us two hundred dollars 1 ou a bill of exchange for two thousand ; which | s had been paid on presentation. We remonstra- i > ted and he consoled us for not having collected | through a bank, by the assurances, that if pro- ( A?S.M?AttA ilul tiAf ?rt*K ?1 Im wr.nlil mtr. I IfVIUiliU CH'jUUlU vi??u live ivi c u, *iv, iiv/miu ? i tainlv reduce his original charge, which he . was "kind enough to admit was rather too heavy. A still better man was a Texas lawyer, to < - whom we entrusted a disputed land claim on an > arrangement called the halves,' very common in , . that part of the country. A facetious dog was | . Smith. About eighteen months elapsed with- \ | out our hearing from him. He then wrote us, in answer of our twentieth epistle, that he had , . done remarkably well with the claim, having | ( compromised it for half the value of the proper- | . ty ; that he had pocketed the half for his fee; | i aud that we were really. not indebted to him | , for any thing besides the cost of a suit he had . commenced and discontinued. We could have j . fairly hugged the fellow for his gay and careless i humor. . ! He did not give us half the trouble we had | with a lawyer out at Jefferson city, who had col- ] lectod for us a claim of several hundred. Tunc- | . tu.rl as the correspondent, he advised us, by the | i first mail, of the receipt of money, adding that . the mails were made very irregular by the over- ] flowing of the river and lie did not think it safe , i to remit. Wc waited until summer time, until . . one could almost wade the tipper Missouri. The | river was so low then, he said, that he found it , extremely inconvenient to get his paper to the j bank where he usually had it cashed. Two sea- ( emie luv and innumerable letters were I . interchanged in regard to remitting drafts and , ^ inundations. At last, being in need of funds, we wrote that we must insist-on having the money, irrespective of the " water. lie was an ( ' honest creature at heart, and sent it, forgetting i! to add the two years' interest, but deducting ' twelve per cent, for his fee. I Lawyers will be a little lazy sometimes; but | can we blame a man fur physical inaptness or | ! inactivity ? The laziest one we ever knew lived | ( ' at Shawneetown Illinois. He had promised for a year or two, to remit to Louisville some mo- ] ney he had collected for us. Husincss-Iijce dc, mands, cajolery, persuasions, argument and me! nace had no effect on him. He would write no more. At last, we sent him in full the anecdote I i of the man who was so lazy that he cat apples J , i off the tree, not being energetic enough to raise | his hand to pluck them. This touched the right spot, and he roused himself so far as to send us ' i the money. The effort mav have killed him ; * : for we have never heard of him since. In no profession is there a more chivalrous | sense of honor than in that of the law. We , have a lively remembrance of having been long , kept in constant bodily fear by a lawyer of Lit- ( ! tie Hock, Arkansas. He had maintained a most obstinate silence for more than a year after receiving for us the full amount of a claim. To a letter in which we demandsd an immediate and 1 i orliiwtmpnt nf the matter. lie ?n. ' O..V.V-..J "V.J -- ? , .... .

We wrote ( liitn, by return post, to put a Pickwickian con- ? ! struction on the offensive letter. After .applying f I to sonic forty lawyers to collect the claim from 1 j our belligerent attorney?all of them refusing ' the business on the plea of professional delicacy ' ?we succeeded in retaining one, on a promise ' i of twenty per cent. As the warlike one's charge 1 ! was twelve, sixty-eight per cent, was all that c ; over came in our possession. 1 | New York lawyers are noble and dashing. 1 4 practitioners. Mnrmion never charged mor spiritedly. It was only the other day one c them sent lis a bill of sixty dollars for seeing t i deposition of a few lines to prove the style c i firm, adding that he would retain the depos tion until the bill was paid. We hope he wi find it good property; we paid five for takin another. But we have said enough. Our readers ma think of our article as Mr. Brown does of new: paper criticism on ihe bar?that 'it is time thi thing was stopped.' We have shown why an how we admire lawyers. Should any of ther dissent from our views, we will fee another t dispute with him. Why not? Does not th accepted theory make a lawyer a moral gladi; tor, with " to let.," on his forehead ? Does an one feel, when listening to forensic eloquenc* that there is a man behind it ? Short Weight in Flour. I deem it important to call the attention ( Flouring Mills and country Merchants to tli fact that most of the Flour received by th Railroad in this city, is short in weight, an that the barrels are badlv made, improper! tared, and in such general condition as regard being ' .Merchantable,1' that it has been a ma1 ter of general complaint, and caused a decide disinclination to purchase what is ternie "Country Flour," for the following good rei sons: ? 1st. The weight is generally short. 2d. The packages are badly made, shoi hooped and in such bad order when receive nt the depot here that they wilbnot bear tram puliation, consequently, can. be sold only t L-ity bakers for immediate consumption, an another objection to the "Country Flour" i: >!...?

Tlio ordinary notice of a death under the obituar head is seen by the majority of newspaper readers t a mere passing event, and nothing more is thought< it. Not for a moment reflecting of the bereaved an disconsolate, or of the gloom thus thrown over tli family circle. When a wife and parent is tnken froi her husband and children, a wide vacancy is mad which no one is able to estimate fully but those wh have experienced the same?who have met the solein test;?that even our nearest and dearest friends, 11 well as other people, aro liable to fall before ill great destroyer. . We are led to these remarks by offering for recor in u public Journal, the departure from this life of Mn Rachel Qcinlen, wife 01 col. Dennis C. Quinlen. wh died in this District on Monday, the 6th day of Juu< leaving a husband and seven children to mourn thei irreparable loss. Mrs. QnxLKX bad been a member of the Presbytc rinn Church at lleavcr Creek, for more than eightoe years, having connected herself therewith under th ministry of Rev. Robert R. Campbell. Though almost unknown beyond the neighborhoo where she was born and spent her life, her nieuior will be held dear for many years to come by heryoun and interesting family, and numerous other relatives who sorrow for the early separation from her. wh while living, so faithfully discharged the duties of wife mother, friend and neighbor, and whose Christian wall and conversation givcsthcin tho blessed assurance tha she is in a happier and better world, where sickncs and sorrow, pain and death, aro felt and feared w more. Departed this life on tho 19th inst., at sunset,^ Majo John McClelland, in tho eighty-fourth ycar'ol hi age ?
