I A Pair of Partners. i A LAWYER AND A DOCTOR IN SEARCH OP PRACTICE. The far west is a great place for young doctors as weli as for old ones who have never had much success in the east.— , Almost every western towu has an over- ; plus ot physicians and lawyers. The j j former tis 1 the most to do, aud tbe lat- | ' tcr get tic most uioucy. The sickness j aud wouuds which have to he attended to are tiuuicruus, but tho capacity of I the patients to pay is not usually very 1 gnat, and frequently amounts to noth ! iug at ail. For this reason tho doctors | always make their bills high, and when | they collect one they have recoived pay 1 tor several which they never hope to get | direct. Ton or fiftecu dollars a visit is ! i a uiodcate charge for many of these in experienced physic.ana, aud iu every so- . 4ritruw •«>*•»© ONOY.IURS? KN v-NILUJ in ' consultation, and he will put in a bill ; i for $25 or SOO for half an hour's time, j flio lawyers are uot called so often, but tlicy have to deal with men who have money or can get it, and they make money when they can find anytning to I do. An old lawyer and a young dootor, the former with a very fiery nose aud the latter with only a suspicion of a mustache, were in Laramie, Wyoming, recently prospecting for a location.— Tlioy hud been hunting together for about two years, and had been unable to find a placo where tho chances of success seemed good. The lawyer call- ! cd the young man Doe, aud the Doc called the old man Judge. In tho hotel! they got to telling soino of their expo- j riencos, and before they had gone far' they wore surrounded by a large and appreciative crowd. They had taken ' in in their travels about half of the j prominont mining camps, and when they left Laramie the; announced that they intended to try their luck the coming | summer up in Idaho aud Montana, | "The first town we struck," said the Judge, 'was Lead City, up in tho Black : Hills, and as there were only three or four lawyers and doctors there we thought wo had hit it right the first time. Wo got a couple of iooais and fitted up one for sleepfug and tho other for an office, while wn took our meals in a sa loon beneath us. A week after we had loea'.ed and got our signs out we sat i 1 one evening talking matters over and wondering if wo hadu't made a mistako after all, when our conversation was in terrupted by two pistol (hots that soun ded almost as if they bad been fired in ' our own rooms. Thcro was a groat | hubbub, and as we rushed down stairs 1 thero was a cry of 1 "A doctor ! a doctor ! Call a doo i 1 -ot?" 'j "Here's on# ," 1 said, elbowing my way through the crowd and making room for tho Doo ; "here's one right 1 i here." 1 "The Doc and I saw at a glance what tho trouble wts. One man had shot another in the salonn, Tho wounded man by on tbe groand and two or three 1 meu were holding his assailant. I per ceived at once thut here was a case for i both of us. So I whispered to the Doo to piteh in and man if he could, ' and 1 would see legal defenso of the 1 gdilty party. Oh, you see, I'm oldev'u be is, and I think all these va | rioufl aspects of 4 case come to an el derly person quicker than they do to a younger fellow. • s)le pitched in «i.d so did I, and before midnight wc were both solid, with all tbo othet lawyers and doctors in town hanging aiound with ' nothing to do. "Along about 2 o'clock ui Uin morn ing wo both got to our room aud ropor-1 ted progress. lie had dressed the man's j wounds aud was to call again iu the morning, and I had fecn the prisoner, had a long interview with him aud his friends, planned out a very brilliant line of denfense, and spent three bits treat ing the deputy sheriffs. Tho Doc re- ■ ported that the wounded man seemed to | have money, und 1 reported that the j prisoner ajd his t*'w !_haU agreed that 1 if I got hift clear have $250. Wc went down stairs aud look a couple of drinks iu boujr of cur good luok, and then went to bed conlidcut that we had made a good beginning. The next morning tho Doc was up sometime be fore me, because he was a little anxious about lus patient, and, us bu was leav ing the room, he said : "I'll be back after a little. Wait half au hour or so, and I will go to breakfast with you."' "1 got up after a while, and, as he had not returned, I sal down and j mapping out 011 paper the case of my client. I had jus: got well into the ! busiuess, when I looked up and there ! stood the Doo. Vife* " 'The man's gone !' he gaAevl, look ing vacantly around. " 'Gone whore V says I. "'Don't know,' he said. 'Some df I the boys say lie's dead aud buried, and others say he's gone to Dcu l"7yod. I 1 couldn't find any trace of him or tbo ' gang. I saw your client though.' '"Where 'bouts,' says I. | '"Down hero hanging to an awning.' " 'Jerusalem !' saya I, and grabbed my hat and walked down the street. Sure enough, there was tuy man hanging dead to an awning. I felt of his (Hilsc nt-1 of his pockets, but didn't get any -1 tiling Everybody haj disappeared j from tho town for the time being, and 1 I I went back to our rooms. We talked i the matter over long and earnestly,, and after we had looked at the thing ,Vall j its bearing.; a> "UIM ilij ---- W* '( j fliat young men had no chance in that ; town, and left." The Dootor, who had listened atten tively to everything the Judge had been saying, here took a bite of plug tobocoo and said : "you ean't very often tell about a town by appearances. Wo have found that out. I'l.ioes that seem to hold out tho fowest induceinen's are sometimes tho ones that offer the best chances. When we had been in Tin Cup three weeks without getting sight of a dollar we tame pretty uear deci ding to leave, and I guess we would, • but wo were mighty 6hort, tied we have 1 always made it a point either to leave ; a place before wo got strapped ot to stay ; until we made somothing. Iu t-hls' case i we were strapped, and there was no use : of thinking of making a in the j condition we were in then. _ "Ono day not long after th?s 3 young woman came into our office and asked ; Ito seo the judge. lie rose and greeted 1 ; her in his most majestic way, giving her the spare ehair. Thcu, when they had 1 ; passed the time of day, she looked at me rather sharply, the judge frowned, aud I got up aud walked out. It seem as though she would never go, but fi nally I saw her trip away, and I crept shiveringly back to tho office. The judge was radieut with smiles. Ho had j got a divorce case, and ho believed that he would be able to work mo in as au . ; expert. I listened to tho recital of the ' ' fseu with the greatest interest, and when he had 6niau>j 4- told htm that ! wc were fixed beyond aVioubt. "Tho young woman had bren married to a well-to-do old iuiuor wiioso success ' had led him into various excesses, and • wheu drunk he had repeatedly pounded ' her unmercifully. She naver cared much for him, but she did have a lian ' kcring after his dust, and so did wo. She had given the judge all the points ' j and instructed him to bring suit right !: away. As a retainer she had left $25 ' with him, aud of this the judge gave ■me ten. All at onco wo seemed to be t rolling in riches. In the afternoon a 1 messenger came to tho office for me, I sa\ ing that the lady was very sick and > that my sorvicos were needed at once. ■ 1 1 go', myself into ss good shspe as pos ' ' sible and called. She was reclining on ! a lounge, and after many tears she told ,' mo, upparantly with great reluctance, f that she had fallen down the cellar and 1 i bruised herself severely ; and she fe*r • ed broken some bones. I made an ex ■ ' animation and found a small black and 1 i blue spot on one arm aud a slight abra- sion of tho skin on her loft kueo. Af ter prescribing for her and bandaging 1 tho arm and knee, she confessed that I her husband had inflicted these injuries, j and wanted to know if I would testi- j : ty in oourt ns to tho nature of »he brui- | i sos, aud make them out fully as bad as . j they were. "'Well,' 1 sail with great delibera tion, 'that is somewhat unprofessional, you know. I would hardly like to be mixed up in a divorce proceeding, for it might injure my standing as a pr.te ■ : 'ioner. Still, I might testify if com pelled to by an order of tho court, in a general way. Of course, 1 could do | nothing to compromise the honor of my | profession.' " 'I will give you an even hundred if J you will drop your professiou in this mat ter and think of only me,' sha said, : rather abruptly, 1 thought. "Of course" I said, "that alters ! tho case somewhat. I will testify aud ; mako the thing out fully as bad as it | is." "So I loft her then with the undcrstan- ' ding that 1 was to call every clay for a und I did, too. 1 gave her good medicine for her nerves, and to such i people as I saw I shook iny hoad grave ly and said she was very low, but that I hoped to pull her through. When I court convened the judgo had her case ready, and after the plaiutiifs witnesses , had all testified, including myself, I got j tho hundred dollars. The husband's attorneys devoted their efforts to the ! task of showing that ho was not half as rich as we made out, but tho divorce , was granted, and with it a big slice of j alimony and counsel fees. Wheu the | judge got his piy, ho was in favor of 1 staying right there and growing up with 1 tho country, but tlicy got out a warrant j against me f>r porjury, and I left fur 1 New Mexico. Six months after that ! the judga came too. II : hadn't had i another case sin :o tha divorc •, an I he ( got! tired of waiting. Siuco then wn 1 has Hung together.

A Terrible tdventure. | J ILitji'. fioa >.nis.j* j.upci.i reiatc 1 somo striking incidents to wbioli the , recent avalanches havo given rise. A 1 man of tho namo of Rapclli, an ex- ! marshal I of carabineers, lived with wile and his children in the villagt /f Grosoavello. Tho wife was an invalid, and while her husband und their little girl were in her bed-room two Sundays ago au avalanche fell 011 the village and , crushed the house. Uapolli was kill, d, and the child, ono of whoso feet was caught between two joists, was thrown ' head downward, without any possibility of extracting herself. The mother, ! though saved from destruction by a beam, had one nt' her arms so tightly wedged under it that she could ouly i'i-t touch tho chil l's head witb tho tip i I.n ner fingers. After hanging in tho j position described l'or thirty hours, con tinually crying to her mother for help, ! she died in couvulsious. Mine. Uapolli j ! would probably have perished of liungor and cold if a hoti had not come within reach of her flee hand. SIIO seized and 1 ! strangled it, plucked it with her teeth, ' and placed the feathers under her nook, 1 which was in contact with the snow. Then she devoured tho fowl just as it was. After remaining thus imprisoned ' nearly sixty hours she was got out by a | rescue party and carried into a stablo ; 1 hard by, where a short timo ago sho hy in a condition bordering on id o y. , | Tho cause of theso disasters (a corres -1 pondent points out) is well known.

The , package contained a letter which rc»d about as follows : "Dear Gov. Clove land, everybody siys you aro the luck- I icst kind of a man, and I'm glad of it.

K. I Moßae was iho editor and the editor of, j this paper was the localizer and mailing clerk. On the morning of that day Col. Me- 1 Rao and we parted to meet, as we in- j tended, in Charlotte, a few days later, I where we were to resume the publication : of the Confederate. Ho was to go by j rail and carry the type, presses, &0., | while wit wore to go by private convey- | | unoe, as wo wished to carry our negroes, ' | teams, aud some provisions from our ' I farm.' Rut, neither of us made tho trip.— j j The Colonel had not the time to move j the office before the coming of Sherman's j army, and we, after reaching the wes- | | tern portion of Cumberland county, j . heard of General Lec'3 surrender, aud | | knowing that the war wus over, wheeled j ibout and weut down iuto Harnett couu- ' ; ty where we rented land and put our : negroes and teams to plowing. Ry the ' first day of May wc had nearly or quite ' a bundled acres plautid in corn, and al- 1 . though freedom came along and took the negroes away, we managed to work j ' the crop und made a big pile of corn j which wo sold in Faycttcville at prices ! 1 that would pay any fanner well, if tlioy I uould bo scoured now. ! We had never seen a greenback wheu ; we pitched our tent in Harnett, and had no other curiency than North Carolina I Treasury notes. Of course Confederate j money would not even buy a plug of, | tobacco. We did, howover, buy a sheep . -kiu and au old inch auger for sl) in ' Confederate money, but wo always ' ihought tho follow who sold them to us 1 | considered thorn a gift. Rut, although wo had no currency we I did have a plenty of bacon, and that j would buy anything else. In the sum , lucr we seut a load of wutoruielons to Kayetteville and tho boy brought home i about five dollars in greenbacks— tho /first we ever saw. Wc lived happily \ that year, made a good srop, sold it for /good prices, and rather enjoved. than lu imntsc, me uy,ottj inc uuw eir . j of things. j Can it bo that twenty years havo flown siueo that morning on which Col. !

Mind is from God. j i The uiind is the man. ' The mind only ia true wealth. I We live uot in body but in mind. A good mind ia a kingdom in itself. , The march of the human mind U slow. i A great mind becomes a gseat for j tunj. A vacant mind ia an invitation to j vice. The best empire is the empire of the i mind. ' 11 is the mln3 ftiaf ennobles, hot the ; blood. The mind to the soul ia as the eye to ( the body. It is through the mind the man know eth God. ' Judge not the mind by the shape of !the body. As sight is in the eye, so is the mind in tho soul. I He that doubts the existence of mind, by doubting, proves it. The beauty of the mind is more love ly than that ot the body. w Wise meu are chiefly captivated with the charois of the mind. 1 The mind grows narrow in proportion 1 as the soul grows corrupt. 1 A innn may know bis own mind, and still uot luiow a great deal. I '1 he sufferings of tho miud are more severe than the pains of the body. The uiind wears the colors of the 1 soul, as a valet those af his master. In a firm mind there is always found an unchanged countenance for good and | evil. i Great minds lower instead of elevate, i those who do not know how to support I t'icru. t The common mind is the trne Parian I marble, fit to be wrought into likeness I to a god. T' y it self can make heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. We measure minds by their statute ; it would be better to esteem them by j their beauty. We in vain summon the mind to in tense application, when the body is in a I languid state. A mind, by knowing itself, and its own proper powers and values, becomes free and independent. The mind does not know what diet | it can feed on until it has been brought | to tho starvation point. I The uiind is nothing less than a gar den of inestimable value which mau . should strive to cultivate. 10very great mind seeks to labor for I eternity, and alone is excited by tho prospect of distaut good. Old minds are like old horses; vou : must exercise thoui if you wish to keep 1 them ill working order. The uiind and memory are more sharply exercised in conipronending au -1 other man's things than our own. Mind is tho blightnoss of the body— lights it, when strength, its proper but less subtle fire, begins to fall. As the mii.d must govern the hands, so iii every society tho man of in- Ulligeuois must direct tho man of la . bor. | *T ' lie who learns not from events rejeots 1 the lessons of experience ; he who judg : es from the event makes fortune an as sessor in his judgments. ) ] _ There are eleven thousand eider , mills iu tho I'uitod Slates, whioh turn- I cd out 5,600,000 barrels of the popu lar farm bevciuge last fall and winter. > The l'opolo Koiuano lately printed i the following advertisement iu Koglish : 1 "A Roman gentleman wishes to warty 1 English, Amcrteau or German lady, t i Very serious affair.
