Chancery Clerks.

One of the most important ques.
tions to come before the approach
ing Convention will be to determ.
inc whether or not the Clerks OF
the several Chancery Courts shall
in future be elected by the people.
or that they shall be appointed by
Chancellors, as is now the case.
We have no hesitation in say
ing that it is eur desire to see them
elected by the people instead Of
being appointed as they now are.
In taking this position we are sus'
tanned by nine-tenths of the people
of Tennessee. The Clerks of 9th.
er Courts are each and all elected
by the people, and why should moi
the same rule apply to Chancery
Clerks?-Sh Shelbyuile Rescue.

Noble Old ToWser.

A Newfoundland dog, belonging
to a family In one of the Southern
States, had rescued one of his mas.
ter's daughters from drowning.
The family were about to proceed
in schooner to St. Augustine.
They had embarked, and the YES
sci was swinging off from the pier,
when the dog was missed. They
whistled and called, but no dog
appeared. The captain became
restive, swore he would wait no
longer, gave the order, and the
craft swept along the waters with
spanking breeze, and was soon a
quarter of a mile from the shore.
The girl and her father were
standing on the stern of the ves-
sci looking back upon the city,
which they had probably left for
ever, when suddenly Towser was
seen running down to the edge of
the wharf with something in his
mouth. With a glass they dis
covered that it was his masters
pocket handkerchief, which had
been dropped somewhere on the
road to the vessel, and which he
now recollected, with some COM
Functions of conscience, he had
sent his shaggy servant back to
look after. The dog looked pite-
ously around upon the bystanders,
then at the retreating vessel, and
leaped boldly into the water. His
master Immediately pointed out
the noble animal to the captain,
and requested him to throw his
vessel to the wind until the dog
could near them. He also offered
a large sum if he would drop his
boat and pick him up; told him the
manner IN which he had preserved
the life of his daughter, and again
offered him the price of passage
if he would save the faithful crea-
ture. The girl joined her entrea-
ties to those of her father, and i'm.
plored that her early friend might
be rescued. But the captain was
savage; he was deaf to every ap
peal Of humanity, kept obstinately
on his course; and the better aninlai
of the t1Oo followed the vessel until
his strength exhausted, and his
generous heart chilled by despair
ne sank among the more mercifu
pillows.

Betting on Elections.

An interesting decision has been
made by the Supreme Court of
California on betting on elections.
The case was that of Johnston vs..
Russell, appealed from the Sixth
District Court. Johnston, plain
tiff, made several bets on the Pres
idential election last fell. Russell
was the stakeholder. Plaintiff al
lowed the stakes to rest without
demanding the withdrawal of his
own or any part of the same till
the 23d of November, when, from
the published returns, it became
certain that be had lost his mon
ey. Then he sent the stakehoId-
er, Russell, a. written notice not
to pay the money or any part of
it over to the winner, and that if
he did, plaintiff would hold the
stakeholder responsible for his
part of the stakes. Russell did
pay the money to the winner, and
hence suit. The Court decided
Sanderson writing the opinion
first, that gambling ON popular
elections is against public policy,
and therefore illegal second, that
the money wagered may be recov-
cred at law, if the party who
staked ii make a demand for the
same before the event on which he
wagered has been decided; third,
that if the better allows his stakes
to remain in the shareholders
hands, without any demand for
its return until the event has
been decided, he cannot then come
into court and sue for recovery.
This was what the plaintiff did
In the case decided. He waited
and stood upon the laws of honor
till he found he had lost, and then
be appealed from the laws of homer
to the laws Of the land. The
Court was unanimously Of opinion
that to allow him this appeal
would be TO encourage fraud.
They reafirm the dictum of the
Court of Errors Of New York; in
'Vischer Us. Yates, as the law Of
California, which was that "either
party might disaffrn the wager
and recover the money of the
stakeholder at any time before the
happening of the event upon which
the wager was made; but that the
loser could not recover of the
stakeholder after the event had
happened and he had lost his mon
ey-that in that case, as to him,
the wager had become an executed
contract, and his repentance has
come too late" The conclusion OF
the opinion is that "after the mon
ey has been lost and won, neither
party ought to be heard in a court
of Justice.

A Tough Yarn.

A strange circumstance is rela.
ted US as having occurred on Mon.
day. Several ladies had assem-.
bled in the tent where the manned
man was lying, who was run over
by the cars few miles west of
this city, about a week ago. The
man had one of his arms badly
mutilated, and the doctor found If
necessary to amputate his arm
above the elbow. The portion
amputated was taken a short dis
tance from the house, wrapped in
linen, placed in a box and buried.
On Monday the wounded man be-
came very restless, and was evi-
dently experiencing torturing
pain, and made frequent efforts
to move the stump of his arm,
but without avail. He told the
ladies that his arm was bent, and
that it was causing him great pain.
After trying various efforts to re-
lieve him, all of which were in
vain, they proceeded to where the
arm was buried, exhumed, straight
ened it out, and returned it to it's
resting place. On returning they
found the sufferer comparatively
relieved and able to move his re,
naming part Of the arm with
perfect ease and comfort. The
ladies relate this singular incident
and vouch for Coslnne (CaE.)

Howa Resident of Algiers,
La. Got Rich.

An old, well-known, and some
what remarkable resident of AL
giers, John Baptiste Molinare,
aged 90 years, departed this life
on Wednesday last. John Bap-
tiste Molinare, according to the
Independent, purchased, in 1910,
piece of apparently valueless
swamp land, always covered with
water except in a very dry season,
and situated on what is known as
the plank road. This piece of
ground Johnny coAtrived to raise
and render available for building
purposes, by the slow and laborious
process of wheeling sand from the
levee in barrow. Every morn
ing before going 20 work he
wheeled at least four barrow loads
and two at dinner time. Thus
little by little, he filled his lots,
more than quintupling their value.
One by one he erected, by his own
labor, a series Of "sbebangs, quito
gether in the most economical man.
ner, but always bringing a rent
out of all proportion to the cost
of building. Added to his labori-
Gus habits was that Of the closest
economy, amounting to penurious-
ness. His food was principally
stale bread, of which a greater
quantity could be had for the same
money, and by long observation
be had learned where to purchase
necesSaries (and he bought moth
ing but the merest necessaries)
at the lowest possible price. In
this way old Johnny went on MAX
ing small accumulations, until at
the time of his death be owned
property approaching in value
$4,000.
lie was afraid to trust his mon
ey to banks, SO he boarded it away
in strange places, preferring to
lose the interest to risking the
principal. At one time he hid the
sum of 5000 in an old shoe, which
wss gnawed up by rats. On an
other occasion his want of educa-
ton caused him to pay mortgage
note of $4,000, for which he had
never received an iota of value. !

Russian Railroads.

All the comforts are not monopol-
lied by the American cars, as will
be seen by the following extract
from Petersburg correspondent
of the Boston Herald:
The railway and custom off
cials in Russia will put to shame
those of any country we have yet
visited. Our route of near two
thousand miles through this-so call
ed savage" country, up to the
time of writing, has been one con-
tinued scene of polite refinement
and attention to our wants. The
railway cars are simply travelling
palaces. There is nothing like
them in the world. The track is
laid in surprisingly substantial
manner. The Emperor, in his
special train, does not travel with
more comfort than ourselves. Our
saloon in one case was ten feet
square, with couches, tables, pri-
vate cabinets, etc. If you wish
to 60 to bed, you go up stairs; on
the second story are the chambers.
In the morning you make your
toilet at home. The stations are
splendidly fitted up, the tables load
ed with eatables and drinkables;
the stops are frequent, the speed
not over 25 miles per hour; SO that
you are not whirled through these
vast spaces and endless prairies
with lightning speed; but have
time to see the country, and to
stretch you legs from time to time
on the platforms. In fact, you be-
come enamored with the way they
do these things in Russia.

A Country Where Every
body Steals.

A Vienna paper relates the fol-
iowing occurrence, which recently
took place in a provincial city OF
MoIdav;a:
A merchant there had received
several thousand ducats 10 gold for
,ooes be bsd sold. He brought the
money TO bis house. On the same
ning two gentlemen, With masks
before their faces, came to him and
threatened to shoot him With their re-
volvers, ordered him TO give them
his gold. The merchant. although
he vas greatly surprised. had sufi-
cient presence of mind 10 resolve
upon the best course to be pursued un-
der the circumstances, and said TO
them: The monay is in the old
chist yonder. Here is the key, open
it and help yourselves to all you
want to take from me" While the
two villains were doing so the mer.
chant seized bis double barrelled gun
which was standing in corner. 1t
was fortunately loaded; be aimed,
and shot both Of them.
Without losing further time, the
merchant fastened out of the room,
locked the door, and ordered bis SER
want, who was just coming home,
not 70 allow any one to enter or leave
the house, UhsreupOn be repaired in
haste 10 the house Of the Chief
+ Police, and, not finding him home,
to that Of the Prefeot, and, as be
was absent, too, the house of the
Police Commissioner. Afterinform-
ing the latter Of what had occurred,
the merchant returned Biththe Com
missioner and some policemen. to
his house, where the servant tod
bin that during bis absence, no one
either entered or left bis house. TIE
door was opened. The two masked
thieves we're lying before the open
chest, without giving any signs fife.
Their masks were removed, and the
thieves we're found to be the Chief
Of Police and the Prefect, both Of
whom belonged to the Boyar class.
