HIS SOLITUDE.

has not seen the country where he lived as it
must then have been, full Of trackless woods
and rushing, turgid rivers, without q railroad in
contemplation; and SO crude WIS Randolph on
the subject OF transportation that he says, In
one Of his letters: No steamboat eau. I a;n.pe:-

(Washington City,.
The events of his life we're couple OF duels ::
one defeat for the House by Jeffersonjan iniin<

with force against the Nulihers in calling cla1nor<

this Union" His last homage, as eome Of his
earliest ecorn, was paid to Henry Clay.
Tho extreme State Rights people claim that
his political work WAS to revive and defend tle
doctrines OF George Mason; but this is not -
say the whole. for George Mason proposed ard
suggested, as we'll as deplo1ed and denounced,
and, amongst other things, he demanded the
slave trade to be stopped before 1908; he de-
manded q Congress By popular election, one term
for the President, Of seven years, with ineigl-
bility afterward, and no property qualifications
And he said vast truth with more breadth OF
utterance than Randolph ever did: Slavery
discourages the arts and manufactures. Tbs
slaves produce the most pernicious effects Oh
manners. Every master Of slaves is born q petty

Every national instinct rallied about the ruin Of

Henry, twill always come in at the head of a

UNDERNEATH ALL.
Nature appears to hare gifted him with the
melancholy talent OF perceiving the wrong that
he himself did, and Of generallzing the fortunes
which he felt upon his felow-sinners. am
the victim ~ he wrote, " Of my own uncontrolled
and uncomfortable sensations"
Ho Was tho inhertor Of decimated and arti-
fetal gentility, which had run along in Tiaewator
barrcnneas, for nearly two centuries; and he
could not distinguish between the affectations Of
this social inheritance and tho simple sympa-
thies Of the new Republic. Without 3 slave to
own, he might have risen to the radicalism OF q
fanatic, and been tho monster Of that conserva-
tive age, instead of it's curiosity ; for the few
mean things that ho did were not the emnna-
tions Of mean NATURE but the fruit of provin-
cialism and fury. With all his toadying for Old
England, the Throne, etc., he could write, when
the prints burlesqued his mission to Russia ::
"The yearnings Of my heart after home have
calumniea which have been heaped upon my un-
offending head" Thus it ia with the archer,
when an arrow which might fit his culver strikes
himself, as we saw but yesterday with another
great figure in public events. Randolph's pr1-
vato and public life vulgarized and heightened
each other, and the meanncss Of anecdote often
| reduces his public stature, while the man en-
balms the anecdote, mean as it may be.
| TINE MAKES ALL THINGS UNEVEN.
Much Of human differences is to be balanced
by chronology. Seven 1usty generations Of Eng
| lish planters in America we're behind Randolph,
and ho was the product OF all that man-holding
license, leisure, and refining. Behind his moro
! stalWart predecessor, Patrick Henry. Was ono

cases er neoesSitdte rei. An original entry is a
fact which if material may be given in evidence
consistently with the Statute which prevents
parties from testifying in their own behalf
Evidence was given to support the findings Of
fact, and the conflicting evidence in the case does
not authorize Us to set aside those findings. Yer
diets resting on legal evidence are only disturbed
in cases coming within the well settled rules of
law, as established by numerous decisions Of this
Court
The plaintiff servant acted for the plaintiff
in delivering hay, and the defendants groom in
asking for and receiving hay, acted for the de-
fendant. Under all the circumstances in evil
dence there was ground to infer that the defend
ant himself accepted and had the benefit of the
hay, under an implied promise to pay its value.
No value of the manure was shown, nor is it
clear that this agreed to be the consideration
to be paid for the hay. As the Court we're not
satisfied that special contract was made, only
an action lay for an implied promise to pay the
value of the hay.
The exceptions are overruled, and the judg-
ment for the plaintiff is affirmed

The defendants were complained OF for prac

was that Hama went after Alona with the in
teniion OF having Waahia as his physician, and
took him to her Hana's) place, February 6, 1872
Waahia directed Hama how 10 prescribe (prepare)

given 10 the patient to drink and some of it he
was bathed with. Second, there we're Il leaves

Third, there was a stone scraped into bowl and

W. c. Jones for the exceptions f; S. II. Phillips,
Attorney General Il. McCulIy with him, contra.
Opinion Of the Court by HARrwELL, J.:
The motion for new trial is denied, as the re-
cord shows evidence in each case tending to sup
port the verdict. To prepare and administer po-
tons and receive compensation therefor even
although at the bidding Of another, is sufficient to
constitute the offence charged. Whether Hama
acted as Waahias agent or partner is immaterial.
Tie law recognizes no partners in criminal bust
ness, nor can agent principal shift criminal
sponsibiIity on each other. To send for patient,
direct his treatment, order prescriptions, and
through another to receive fees therefor, is also
sufficient to constitute the offence. Affirmative
evidence Of such acts is not to be set aside by
this Court by reason of evidence that the defend
ant Waahia was not stopping at the house Of
the defetdant Hama while the patient was suffer-
ing al the hands Of one by the direction of the
other. Waahia seems from the evidence to have
been the moving spirit of the transaction. Her
personal presence over the patient while her
drugs were taking effect was not required in or
der to make out case Of practicng medicine
without license.
The negative and the contradictory evidence in
such case was for the jury to consider and is not
ground for the COurts 70 oct upon.
Exceptions overruled.

COURTING IN SIBERIA.

When once the young beau among the
Korakas becomes infatuated, he makes
known his passion to the father of his SAT
finity," and expresses his desire to strive for
her hand. A kind of contract is immedi-
ately entered into by which the young man
binds himselfto the father as a servant for
a term of years, at the expiration of which
time he can have the pleasure of learning
whether the daughter will have him or not.
In this manner if the father be
the happy possessOT of beautiful
daughter, he may have half a dozen men
ready to do his bidding at
one time. When the term of seryitude ex-
pires, one of the largest youths is selected,
aud all the old women of the place, armed
with sticks and pieces of seal thongs,
are stationed in the pologs suspended
around the room. The daughter then APP
pears, thickly clad in skin garments, follow
ed by her lover, when race ensues around
the Enclosure, the contestants lodging about
among the pologs. To win his bride he must
overtake her, and leave the print of his nail
upon her person before she can be rescued by
the old women, who during the race, impede
the lover as much as possible by beating
him with sticks, and tripping him by seiZ-
ing bis legs as he rushes by them. The adj
vantage is all with the girl, and if she does
not wish to become the wife of the pursuer,
she can avoid him without difficulty. On
the contrary, if she likes him, she manages
to stumble, or makes known her wishes to
the old women, who then only make a
show of impeding her pursuer. Sometimes
the lover is so desperately smitten, that,
just after being foiled, he returns to the
father and binds himself for another period
ofyears for the privilege of making another
trial.

In Yesterdays UNION AND AMERICAN
was noticed the killing IN Knoxville of Rob
ert Mcdonald, or McTalmie as he was
called, step-ssn Of Sandy Mcdonald, of
this city, by coppersmith named John
Hammett. The parties had a difficulty
about file last Tuesday afternoon at which
time McTalmie assaulted Uammett with
stones as the latter was riding out of town.
Wednesday morning Hammett returned to
the city and was again attacked by Nc
Talmie, who knocked an eye out Of Ham
mett's horse. They were separated but net
half an hour afterwards, it being only seven
O'Clock, and commenced fighting, during
which Hammett, after receiving a severe
blow on his head from a stick in the hands
of McTalmie, got hold of a pistol, with
which he shot his adversary in the head
causing instant death. At last accounts
Hammett was thought to be dying, his skull
having been fractured by The blow from Nc
Talmie'S stick.
