THE COURTS.


SeCOO0 O1DtF1Ct VOUr1s
Fuentes ct ais. vs. Myrs Clark Gaines
This suit, brought by plaintiff to recall the
probate Of the win Of Daniel Clark of 1873,
claims, came up yesterday morning for
further trial.
United States Couuissiener's Court.
Yesterday, John Carter, master of the
American bark Solomon, of Boston. made
affidavit, before United States Commissioner
Grant, that the cook of the vessel did,
on the tenth of September, on the high
seas, willfully assault Hugh Mckenzie, the
first mate, and did commit an act of mutiny
against the officers.
The accused, whose name il Antoine, is q
1.-the and sinewy man, of q coal black COM
plexion, native of the coast Of Africa and
evidently fierce and dangerous antag-
onist.
The testimony showed that the defendant
had refused to attend to his duties in the
cooks galley, and. when he was expostu-
lated with, fourished an az, in threaten
ing manner, over the head Of the mate.
The commissioner held, that threatening
demonstrations did not amount to an as
sault; that the master of q vessel has
right, under the maritime law, to punish the
offense on the spot, by taking the life of the
mutineer, or by putting him in irons. The
prisoner, in this case, was put in irons, and
otherwise roughly handled by the mate, and
the accused would be q forfeiture of wages.
The prisoner was discharged, and received
some wholesome advice from the commits
siOner, to the effect not to 60 near the ship,
but to 60 home to his wife and avoid further
trouble.
The accused seemed well content that he
had Jared no worse, and left suddenly.

An Enterprise IN Mississippi.

The Pearl river is one of the main water
courses in Mississippi, and for the improve
ment Of that river to jackson, the capital Of
that State, the Legislature in April last
passed an act which was approved by the
Governor on the eighth day Of April, grant
ing to the Pearl River Improvement and
Navigation Company four hundred thousand
acres OF land in the counties Of Hancock,
Lawrence, Marion and Copiah.
We are informed that Mr.. Edward Evers,
of our city. purchased from the Pearl River
Improvement and Navigation Company
about two hundred Thousand acres Of these
lands, for the object of organizing lumber
ing company, as these Mississippi lands are
unsurpassed on this continent for the guam
tity Of yellow pine timber. We are apprised
that these lands will average at least one
hundred thousand feet Of sawed lumber to
the acre, and if we compare the same with
the value at which pine lands are selling in
Wisconsin and Michigan-abOut SO per one
thousand feet in the tree-these Mississippi
pine lands are worth three hundred dollars
per acre. We are told that Mr.. Evcrs has
organized an international company, COM
posed Of heavy bankers and merchants,
both Of London and Chicago. The company
Il being organized under the general manu-
featuring law of Illinois.
IN tho Southern States there are very
largo bsdies of timber yet untouched, and
1t English and homo capitalists commence
operations in those vast forests, the South
will march to new improvement, and the
wOOdsmen Of Maine and Wisconsin will
soon be joining hands with their Southern
brethren.

Aessrs. Williams and Alfred are advised
OF the shipment of three bales of cotton
from Galveston, via New Orleans. intended
to compete for the premium at the fair The
ehlpment derives interest, as each bale is
nom different county of the State-Colo-
RADIO, kOberteOn and Gonzales-and eyi.
dence the thorough manner in which the
cotton committee, its chairman, Miles Sells.
and it's secretary, d. z. Rowland, have per
formed the duties imposed upon them.
The factors at Galveston, George F. Afford
q Veal, through whose house this cotton
was forwarded, call attention in their letters
to . point worthy of consideration by the
cotton cOmmittee-the manner in which cot.
ton may be ''doctored," 20 to speak. in order
to carry of the premium. We quote the
following sentence a. placing the question
fairly before the committee:
These bales each weigh over 400 pounds
here. We understand that some has gone
forward from this State that, after being
gnned, has been carded by hand SO as to
secure the premium. As such process is
impracticable in preparing crop for mar
ket, we think it unfair to permit such
entries to take premiums over cotton put mp
IN the best way practicable in making
crop. The object of the fair is certainly
very different from what we understand, if
such practice is to be allowed. The cotton
we send you has received all the attention
any man could give and do justice to his
crop: to do more would be to sacrifice the
balance of his product"

The St. Louis Republican reports mo,
phine eating case:

The St. Louis Republican reports a NOR
phine eating case:
An habitual morphine eater called at tho
city dispensary yesterday afternoon and
asked for something to relieve him Of neu-
ralgia. The applicant was a moderately
well dressed man, who had evidently seen
better days. He was of large size and
ruddy complexion. and complained of a
deal Of pain in his head. He had been laid
up for three weeks. Some ten years ago he
commenced taking morphine. The first
dose was grain and a half, and he had
taken it every day since. During the war
he was in southwest Missouri and when he
caught cold he said he had taken as much
morphine as would cover the palm Of his
hand. It was as indispensable as his meals
with him, and he shook and trembled if he
did not take it. He had paid from dollar
and half to five dollars dram for it, He
would not tell the name of the druggist who
was in the habit Of supplying If TO him
against the regulations of the board of
health. The dispensary physician told him
he could do nothing for him. and that he
would probably be found dead some day if
he kept on taking the doses which he did
The unfortunate victim of this miserable
habit said that his mother had taken NOR
phine all her life, and had lived until she
was eighty-fve years of age. He believed
he had inherited a taste for the poison.

The Chicago Ereni,sg Post says:

The census of 1860 showed that deaths
from consumption were ten times more nu.
merous in Massachusetts than in Georgia
From this a Southern paper argues that the
lower States are in fact much the healthiest
and that cool air is not specific for disease.
We suppose the fact to be that the aver
age OF mortality is nearly equal in every
country. The diseases of one climate have
their counterpart ii every other. North
ern men who visit warm climates are in
danger of fevers, and Southerner, who
might perish at home from this cause, may
die of consumption in acOld climate. Lo-
cality may give type to the disease and de-
termine its variety. -,
It is nevertheless generally true that a
cool climate is the healthiest;' that Northern
people are most vigorous and physically
stouter: but whether the average longevity
is greater is different question. The seeds
of consumption are planted in every eli
mate. and change in time often destroys
them, or gives disease tendency to diff
ferent Development. It is the dry, thin air
OF Minnesota and Colorado that aids con-
sumptives. and not either cold or heat. For
an opposite reason a citizen Of either Of
these States might find relief in visiting the
region OF sugar cane and rice swamps. The
change seems to he the real remedy, when
one is found.

Last Sunday morning passenger train
on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad was
detained at North Vernon. waiting for con-
nections. While waiting, the engineer left
his engine for mement. The fireman was
on the cab asleep, and the engineer. who
was standing on the platform, some yards
distant. was astonished to see his train
move off suddenly. without warning note
from the bell or whistle, and in few mo-
ments was tearing down the road at the
top Of its speed. A crazy man had OBJ
served the engineer when he left the en-
CINE, and quietly took his place at the
throttle valve, and he opened her out wide
and let her drive. The fireman, awakened
by the motion of the train. saw at a glance
the condition of affairs, and pounced upon
the mailman and secured him, and took the
track back to North Vernon, where the
lunatic was was placed in Jail. When ques-
toned as to the cause of his strange con-

wanted a locomotive for long time. and
he thought that was the best chance he
would ever have. The train was crowded
with people, and but for the presence of
mind of the fireman. the consequences
would have been frightful.
