The s.Last Man."
: -lFrom the Dayton Ledger J

Il
In 1882 an association was formed in Gin
cinnati, which was denomiDated the Last
Mans Society,"" 1t was composed of seven
young men, engaged in various pursuits,
and was organized when the cholera was
prevailing for the first time in this coun-
try. These young men were drawn togeth-
er by a common tie of friendship and broth
erhOod, and were impelled to their action,
at the time, on account of the dangers
which were believed to surround them. IT.
If was agreed, among other things, that
the anniversary OF the organization should
be sacredly observed as long as any OF
them lived, or until one of them was left
alone, when he was required for once, at
least to observe its return. The anniver-
sary observance was to consist, in part, of
a repast 10 beprovided by opeof the men,
bers, each taking his turn, the selection to
be made by casting lots. All who could
do so were bound to be present at the an
nual festival, even if it involved consider
able sacrifice. io eeizalq1ue .f,-7 ffys
la the celebration of the anniversary the
table was always to be spread for seven,
the absence of one or more, from death or
other unavoidable causes, the plates were
to remain unturned, while the vacant
chair was to be in its place. r-s.-.a......s.
For, five years not a death occurred
among the members. At the sixth ami
yersary the first unturned plate and the
first vacant chair were in their places, oc-
casioned by the death of one OF the mem
bers. This death occurred on the 18th of

The Law of Libel and the Rights
of the Press.

In libel suit brought against Bennett of
the Neao York Herald, Judge Barnard of
the Supreme Court of New7York decided
that to hold that the proprietor of news
paper, can be sued by every one who may
imagine he has been damaged by publi-
cation common to a court, would be to pre-
vent its usefulness as a journal. To hold
that such an action would lie would offer
and hold out premium for individuals to
commence suits for that which they might
think damaging, but which no one else
would. The object of a journal is ihforma-
tion; that can'only be obtained by publish
ing such items of fact as may be of general
notoriety, or such public proceedings as
may have transpired before a body having
authority TO act. -.# m -.-.. :
