At- . A Savannah attorney is looking up the law in a fnost peculiar ease, with t he view of possibly tiling the papers in n suit for' 000. The circumstances aro these: A few months ago a gentleman met a young friend and inquired about his family. The young man had been once blessed with twins, and he expressed some fear of again -being blessed in the same manner at no remote date. 'Well, should it occur, I will give you a present of 1,000,' remarked Mr. IJlank, jokingly, to the young father. Two bystanders were asked it they heard "the promise, plu-d that tliey did, and to be witnesses in ease they were needed. A lew days ago the young man's family was increased by -two new members on the same day. In the exuberance of his happiness he forgot all about the promise until rem' ided of it by one of the 'wit nesses. Mr. Jjlank has been pro .senlod wirh'a bill for $1,000, which j he declined to pay. He says that the agreement- was a mere joke kind not in the nature of a contract. Another ground of the defense will be that the remark was' in the na ture of a bet or wager, and there fore illegal and not collectable. jliesides, ho says it is ijuito proba l.!e that the plaintiff the con templated suit knew whereof he spoke when he accepted the propo sition, and was therefore betting o i a certainty. Tnat would con stitute fraud or deception, and un der the unwritten law of betting the loser is not compelled to pay in siiefi case-. AtKjlbcr plea will bo that the contract was not oue which could be performed within a year and should therefore have been in writing. Unfortunately for the defendant the facts in the case will crpsM this last plea. Th'i; plaintiff contends that let was-made, and that he was nut betting on a certainty. On the 'contrary. .he claims that there was a clear contract, his part of which .had been fulfilled. Savannah Dai ly News. Eroxn time immemorial, the pro fession of the law has" been crowded and from the earliest time its crow ded condition has been the theme of many a gibe and jest, bat the votaries of justice do not dimmish in numbers. It is sometimes asked 'what "becomes of all who obtain a license to represent clients in the courts ? Many are called to the bar but few are chosen and the chosen few are the earnest men who aro ready and willing to make eacnfice to attain the goal of honor and distinction. Men come to the bar for different purposes; some for association in an honorable and influential profession, some for the brotherhood of a profession that is instinct with the esprit de corps, some for a comfortable seat in the courthouse, and some for the se-i rious business of the profession 'ancient as magistracy, noble as virtue, necessary as iustice, AH but the last class slough off and lose their hold and aro absorbed byj less exacting pursuits. But the men who enter the profession of tlie law as a life pursuit; with the great aim of success and the ambi- tion to win it, these are the men who are dressed in the 'white robes' of the profession j the elec who have como, into the ranks of the profession with teeth and fist clinched and with tar on their heels: wno nave come to stay Theirs is a life of sacrifice; theirs is the ca pacity to endure, to wait, to be patient, to be strong under temp tation, to resist the wiles of idle ness, the seduction of ease, and the inlluence of evil example; but great is their reward if faithful to duty under all these -trying circumstan ces, for the prizes that $wait them are worthy of heroic sacrifice.

No : there must be much besides muscular ef fort in order to attain these results There must bo toil of brain, long aud pr atraeted, and often exhaust ing thr nghf, sometimes accompan itl by ferpat sacrifices and great hardships. In order to have exten sive production there aro required great mental qualities, some of them of a rare kind. There is needed power to contrive, to in vent, to organize, to direct, or little can be achieved. The man whol blows the organ might claim that he produces all the music of the instrument. lttis true he i3 gener ally an essential condition, but not by any means the only or the most essential condition. No more is manual labor the only or the most essential condition of the produc tion of great wealth.' v A Clrurcu A Boomer. Beware, oh ye orators, of saying the stale old things which have peon on itury ior many years. ihesc remarkable relics of oratory have been long on exhibition and need rest. Do not let us hear about the 'teeming millions,' tho tide or incoming population,' tbe perils of the' hour.' Do let off the penis of the hour. Poor perils! How sorry we are for them. They have to at; teud all our college commence." raents. and then iu midsummer they am htt- d off to tho asfocn- tions.

G.J. Speais, a prominent lawyer of the cor ity, who also en- j gages in farming, three years ago I planted cotton.near his garden and alongside of it planted two or three rows of common okra. The next season he furnished a colored neighbor with cottonseed to plant his little farm, about three miles off, on the Cape Fear river. The next season tho colored man ob served two very peculiar plants growing in his patch, and pulling up one of them, ho concluded to let the other grow, to see what would come of it. It hall a leaf very much like the okra leaf and not at all like that of cotton. It, howev er, produced legular cotton bolls, and at maturity it was discovered that the cotton produced .by it was of much fiuer quality thau the orT dinary staple.

All the difference between failure and success lies in the rule adopted for expenditure: "Spend more ' than you earn and fail, spend less than you earn and succeed." Adopt some method that will increase your income or else cut down your expeuses. P. T. Baruum, the great showman, in his renowned lecture on "money getting" says: "Wheu you hud you have surplus at the 110 I end of the year, mark down on pa per every item of expenditure.
