Az IMPORTANT CAsE.-The New Orleans Crescent of
the Goth says I'VE quote verbatm) e very remarkable
and interesting case has just been decided by the
Of the seventh judicial district West FeIiciana) :
Walker against AcsIin. The plaintiff in the case,
judge Alexander Walker, Of this city, claimed $780, 600
Of Mrs Aekn, wealthy and we-known lady, for
services rendered during the in procuring the re-
lease by the Confederate authorities of quantity OF
cotton belonging to Mrs. Acklin. This cotton af
forwards sold in New Orleans for large sum Of
moncy-several hundred thousand dollars, we believe.
no specific contract was made, but OF course judge
Walker expected handsome compensation. Mrs.
Acklin, however, subsequently repudiated the idea
that he bad any claim on her, and through her mer-
chant paid $500 for expenses to judge Walkers agent
for which a receipt was given.
This receipt was set up as defense, the ground
that it full acquitance. The plaintiff claimed,
and the court decided that this amount paid merely
personal expenses and had no reference to compensa-
ton for services rendered ex-governor Wickliffe
spoke five hours in Mrs Adkins behalf and Judge
Walker replied IN speech which elected the highest
praise from all who heard IT, It was considered an
admirable and conclusive legal and forensic effort
The jury gave the plaintiff verdict for S25 000 No
bills Of exception were taken by the defense

FARMERS COLUMN.
HORSES OF THE DESERT.

The Arab horse is watered only
once in twenty-four hours. He is
often obliged to content himself
with dates instead of barley; these
are given to him before they are
perfectly ripe, when their stones
are soft, and are eaten stones and
all. In the spring he is turned out
on the pastures; but in the summer,
if his master can afford it, he gets
little barley. On this scanty fare,
a good horse in the desert is expect
ed, if necessary, to accomplish, for
five orsix successive days, distances
Of hundred and twenty-five to n
hundred and fifty miles; and after
a couple days OF rest and good
feeding, he viii be quite well enough
to repeat the feat. Ii he shakes
himself at Il resting-place, or paws
the ground with his foot, Is held
that there is no occasion to pull mp
in the journey; and if you would
know at the end OF Il day or eXces-
sive fatigue how far you can yet de
pend upon your horse, get off his
back and pull him strongly by the
tail; if he remains unmOved, you
may still rely upon him. 1T is Of
no very rare occurrence to hear OF
a horse going one hundred and
eighty miles in twenty-four hours !"
The requisites which the men Of the
desert look for in him, are that che
should carry full grown man, are
that ''he should carry full grown
man, his arms and u change Of cloth
ing, food for both his rider and him
self, u flag even ON a windy day, and
il ii be necessary, drag Il dead body
behind him."
\ horse Of the Sahara is calcu-
lated to live from twenty to twenty
five years, and mare from twenty
five to thirty.
The Arabs Of Upper Asia have
regular genealogical trees Of their
horses, in which the birth and
parentage Of a colt is affirmed by
evidence such as would be taken in
. court Of justice; while among tie
tribe Annaya there are horses 50
priceless that it is at least impossi-
blc even for great personages and
wealthy merchants to pay in cash
for them; they give Il number Of
bills therefor, falling due ut inter
walls OF twelqe months, or else bind
themselves to pay an annuity forever
to the vender and his descendants.
But perhaps nothing exemplities the
high value put upon a horse by these
wandering people so much as this
fact, that although delighting in war
and bIoodshed, they never Kill a far
rier; they would as soon think Of
poisoning a well; he has only to
aight, and initiate with the two cor
ners Of his demonstrating and de
pressing them by turns-the move
ment OF the bellows, and his life is
held as sacren as that of herald or a
priest among more civilized nations.

Flowers. OF all the minor ere
ations Of God, flowers seem to be
most completely the effusions Of His
love of beauty, grace, and JOY. OF
al the minor objects which surround
lis, they ore the least connected
with our absolute necessities. Veg
citation might proceed, the earth
might be clothed with sober green:
all the processes Of modification
might be perfected without being
attended with the glory with which
the flower is crowned: but beauty
and fragrance are poured over the
earth i'll blossoms Of endless varie-
ties, radient evidences of the bound
less benevolence Of the deity. They
are made solely to gladden. the heart
OF man, for perpetual admiration.
The Greeks whose souls pre-emi-
nently sympathized with the spirit
Of grace and beauty in everything,
were enthusiastic III their love and
lavish in their use Of flowers. They
scattered them in the porticos Of
their temples-they were offered on
the altars Of some OF their deities-
thep were strewn in the conqueror's
path-on all occasions of festivity
and rejoicing they were strewn
about or worn in garments. The
guests at banquets were strewn with
them-the bowl was wreathed with
them; and whenever they wished to
throw beauty, and to express glad
ness like sunshine, they cast flowers.
