Land Warrant Titles.

Judge Black, Attorney General, has given

rior as 10 the proper construction of the act
of June 81, 1883, which provides that the ii

Il person who applied for it according to the
prescribed forms "Shall vest in the widow, il
there he one, and if there be no widow, then

In the opinion of the Attorney General
"The heirs of a man are those persons who

QUESTIONS AND ASswERs.-In the correspond
ence column Of Nodh's Times and Messenger, for
this week, we find the following questions and
answers:
Ousry:-'sWhat kind of introduction will
Justify me in visiting young lady as suitor2
For instance, would an acquaintance made at a
abIl or party, through n respectable medium, al
low me to call upon the lady, and should SO
call and be politely received, could visit her as
sutton, never having seen her parents, with
whom she resides?
4nsuer.-Your question discloses what may
be called something of defect in our social
system. The first consideration of gentleman
ON entering the house of stranger should be
to present himself to the heads of the family;
and, should he entertain so serious purpose as
that of matrinony, he could not omit, if he
were governed by proper feelings, to make
| known to them something of his "antecedents,
as well as to advise them of his intentions in
visiting their family. When these grounds and
conditions are permitted to be set aside, and in
ference unfavorable to the character, at least
to the nice sense of propriety of the lady,
might be drawn, which would discourage a
man who sought high principled woman from
engaging any further in the pursuit OF her
hand.
Query.-''What course must young man
pursue to become an orator."
AnStrer.-You cannot become an orator mere
lly by belonging to a debating society; but you
can acquire there a knowledge of the rules OF
discussion and the order of business in deliber-
ative bodies, and also readiness of speech,
which is one of the first conditions of good ora
tory To become an orator in the true sense
YOU must address assemblies of men, gathered
for real purpose, involving a living question
which has application to the business, interests,
and feelings at that time and there in the ascen-
dant. The most useful work we can recon-
mend to you for enlightenment on the subject, is
little treatise by HolyOke.
Qusry.-"A wants piece of work done by
B, for which he will pay $50. B agrees to do
it, and employs three other persons to assist
him, making q bargain that he will take one
third of the 500 $500 for his share; and the
next to have one-lour,h, ($I5) the next one
adding these fractional parts together, it will
be seen that they amount to but $5T, and that
there is consequently balance offs So. To whom
does this balance belong, and how does it APP
pear that after this division, every one has re-
ceived his share, and yet balance of 50 re-
mains?"
Ans,oer.-The balance of s., which should be
dividid pro rata with himself and those with
whom he has contracted, arises from the fact
that three-sixteths of the original sum are not
provided for in the original apportionment,
which, as your own statement shows, distributes
but fifty-seven siXtieths of the amount.
QUery.-"Will you inform me what P. P. c.
stands for on persons card, when going away?'

words, pour preRdre congo, meaning to take

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR-A Young Lady Sea
red into Harriage-One Of the Party Shot by
her Father.-We find the following account of
a very extraordinary affair, alleged recently to
have happened il. Kemper County, Miss, in the
last number of the Philadelphia (Neshoba COP
Bulletin:
While Mr.. Duncan McLaurin, living two
miles northwest of DeKalb, was in Alabama, Mr.
Everett Roberts and his wife, Rigsby, his over
seer, and two or three other persons, in COM
panyA with carpenter in the employ OfROberts,
by the name of Newson, went to the residence
of Mr.. McLaurin for the purpose of getting his
daughter to marry Newson. Roberts and his
wife went into the house, and not finding the
girl, r. S wife went into the kitchen where the
girl was, and talked with her some time, trying
to induce her TO marry Newson; but the girl re-
piled that she knew very little OF the man, and
never agreed to marry him. When RS wife
came back into the house, the girls mother ask
ed what was the matter? Their reply was, that
it was none of her business. They all left, and
that night portion of the same crowd (Rigsby
aiong) went back to the house, and not finding
tho girl Mt home, asked little boy where she
was and he told them that she was at Mr.. Moss
"a near neighbOr,G-so they left and went to
Moss. One of their company went into the
house and insisted upon the girls marrying
NewSon, but TO no purpose; whereupon, NewsOn
went in and asked to see the girl privately; and
the girls sister, who was with her, said she in
tended to hear every word that was said New
son told her that he had already taken out the
license, and that ifshe did not marry him both
would be disgraced; and after much tormenting
and exciting her, she went to Rogers house and
was married to him.
When Mr., McLaurins returned home. Rob-
erts sent him note by Rigsby, and McLaurin
told him that if he or Rgsby wished to have any
communication with him, that they must send
1t through X. 5 son ncgroeS-that he would
not hayr anything to do with them The next
morning RigSby appeared again, and McLaurin
told him the same. The third morning he made
his appearance, he was ordered out of the house,
and would not go, and gave Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Laurin the lie, rising from his seat and running
his hand into his yOcket, and commenced taking
it out; and thereupOn Mr. McLaurin pulled
down do his gun and shot him through, saying at
lie. When the jury of inquest examined the
pockets of Rigsby, the Sheriff took from his
pocket an open knife.
We received the above statemrnt from very
reiiabld citizen of our county. who was over in
kemper at the time of the occurrence

LETTER FROM WHEELING on RELIGIOUS REvI-
vALs.-A correspondent of the Northampton
(AIass.) Gdzette writing from this city, thus al
ludes to the progress of revvals in this section:
The past winter has been one long to be re-
membered on account of the revivals Of religion
that have pervaded all the churches in this sec
ton of the country. Nothing equal to 1t has
been known in this region of the country even
by the Oldest members of our churches. In
1889 and 1910 n gracious revival influence
spread through this section of Virginia and
over the whole of southeastern Ohio. That re-
vival was very general throughout all our con-
nection Cthe N. E. church, that year, rs the
minutes exhibit net increase of 154, 600 mem
bers at the close of the year, besides the hun
dreds and thousands who connected themselves
with other orthodox churches. But the reli-
gious influence this winter has been characteri-
zcd by thoroughness and depth of interest
that far exceeds that memorable season. In
some neighborhoOds almost the entire adult
population is brought under its influence.
know of many churches where there are from
100 to 200 nccessons, while there is but one
church within the circuit of several counties, so
far as L have heard, that has not shared, to a
greater or less extent, in the blessed work.
Probably not the least interesting and impor-
tant part OF this work consists in the fact that
while very many heads of families and persons
Of mature years have been brought under its
influence, in some appointments it has embraced
quite large number of Sabbath School children
l have seen from forty to fifty, and in one in
stance as many as sixty, at our meetings of in
quiry, at time. Such sight have never be.
fore been permitted to see. remember
well the revivals of 1880 and 81, when so many
were converted in Old Hampshire county, Mass
lin Enfield, Belchertown, and may be in other
places, through the instrunentality of the Rev.
Asahel NettletOn and others. Then, especially
in Enfield, for several days in succession, the
chnrch-going bell was heard, and the farmer
left his pillow, the mechanic his shop, the man
ufacturer ceased to spin and weave, and all were
actuated by feeling-that of seeking saliva
ton by faith. And precious as that event
ful period to me, the revivals have recently
been permitted to enjoy far exceed those of that
day. They are more akin to those under Ed
wards of Northampton, and Porter of Belcher-
town."
