HoDsoH's CHoIcE.-When, eighty years
ago, he still every week, tnok the road with
his wair ard horscs as he had done sixty wears
before, maxim, his journey from Cambridge 60
the Bull Inn. DishoT~gate street. London. and
thence hack again, carrying letters and pa
GELS, and sometimes stray passengers and de-
lvciinG them both ways. All through Shaks-
peare's ltc H0bSon's cart-bclls had ;iLkIcI.
Hobson himself riding in the cart. or trudging
by the SIDE of It, along the London and Cam
bride road. lie had driven the team aS a
grown lad for his father before ShakspcaT. was
born and now, eight years after Shakspcarc's
bones had been lard under the pavement in
StratfOrd Church, he was still hale in his .ld
vocation. Nor. though only a carrier driving
bis own vain, was he n person of slight con.
sequence. There Was many squire round
about Cambridge whom old Hobson could
have bought and sold. Bcginuiag life on his
own account with goodly property left him
by his father, including the wafF used to
drive, eight team-horscs. and rag, he had. bv
his prudence and honesty. gradually increased
this property till, besides paving the expenses
OF large family, he was one Of the wcalthicst
citizens Of Cambridge. He owned several
houses in the town, and had mu:h land round.
THIS increase of fortune he owed in part 10 his
g"Ns"Shb !" Co"OiliilS otneI kltsCIS Gs SuSi0e8S,
such rs farming. mailing, and innkeeping,
with his trade as 81 carrier. But his great
stroke il life had been the idea of letting o,It
horses on hire. lie was. in fact according 10
all tradition. the very first man in the isiaud
who let out hackney horses but. having no
competition in the :rade he carried i, on in
his own way. He had a stable of forty Rpd
cattle always ready and fit for travelling hut
when any scholar or other customer whneyev
he mighs be. came for horse, whoever h-
might he, came for horse, lac e'as obliged 10
take the one that chanced TO staEd next the
stable-boOr. Hence the wellhnown proverb---
"HobsnI's choicc-ihis or nothing" the hon.
est carriers's principle being that every Gus
toner should be justly serve! anil horse Just
~ ridden in his turn. Some Of Hobs0n's ho--
seS were let ont to g. rs far as London and
on the these occasions, il was Hobnn's habit,
out Of regard for his cattle. To impress upon
the schnlArs. when he saw them - of at great
pace. that they would come time enough ~
London il they did no; ride too fast"

TO receive his own again. with six per cent.
interess. In this condition Of our lczislatisn
the State constitution Of 1850 was adopted,
One Of its provisions TART. 8, ser. 4e) prohibit.
ed the taking OF demanding, Of higher rate
OF inteFest than six per cent, and directed tho
Legislature TO provide all necessary penalties
and foifeitnres against usury. A case SOON
occurred in which IL became important whether
this provision Of the constitution made q co.,
tract effected by usiiry roid, or whether tho
plaintiff could still recover bach his money he
had ioaned aud ssAa legal intsset mon IL.
THIS case was Din VS.. EIlicntt. tried in the
Circuit Court of the U. s. The Circuit Court
decided that, as the taking Of higher rate Of
interest than six per cent. was forbidden by
our new State constitution, any contract, into
which usurious rate of Interest entered, was
void; that is 70 say, that the lender could re-
cover nrither principal or interest il he sued;
and that the act Of ls45. ia $50. which al
lowed the lender 20 recover his PRINCIPAL and
legal interest. WAS rcpcaled by the clause IN
the conttitU;!un already referred b.
The curt OF Common Pleas of Baltimore
city. h"%cv'r. III the case of Bandel and Isaac,
cInIe - different conclusion, wien the de-
Tense Of usury was male in sui. pending in
that court. and il decided that The law If
ls45, ch. $50, vas still IT, force that is to saw,
that the plaintiff could recover, even if his CON-
tract was tainted with usury. AM even il this
usuTy was plcade,l. the sum really due f,r
principal and interest; and that this law Of
ls45 would govern. nil cases of this character.
until Lhc Legislature provided other forlcturcs
or penalties. This law, so laid down. the
Court Of Appeals has sustained.
