Charge of Biganly.

EcCEnE LAURHENT AND HIS TWO WIVES.
In the Police Court Judge Smell, to-day Eu-
gene Laurhent was charged with feioniouslv
and wilfully intermarrying with one Ella
Mountz, knowing at the time that his lawful
wife, Paulina Laurhept, was living. The pris-
oner, a rather tne-loOking young Frenchman
was in the dock, and pleaded guilty, but stated
that after he married his first wife in Septem
Der last he sent her to Europe, and after wait
ing three mouths and not hearing anything
from her, he married the second wife, thinking
that his first wife was perhaps dead. His first
wiie was IN the courtroom, and a rather pretty
LOOKING woman, but was saved the trouble and
modification of telling her story. as the accused
pleaded guilty. The judge sent Eugene to Jail
Tor action OF the grand jury, and could fix no
bail, defendant pleading guilty. subsequently
friend OF defendant came into court and stated
to the judge that Laurhent had pleaded under
q misaPprehension of the law, and asked that
he be permitted to plead not guilty, so that he
could give bonds. He explained that Laur-
hent's hrst wife was a widow; that she went to
New York, and took passage on the steamer for
haSre under the name OF her first husband
Ignoring the name Of Laurhent altogether and
DID not write nor in any manner communi cate
with him. The judge finally concluded to take
bail In the sum of 81 900, but when the court
adjourned the prisoner had not yet succeeded
In obtaining bonds.

The Late George Strother Gaines.

This gentleman was one of the con.
temporaries of Aaron Burr and General
jackson. The Haynesville (Ala.) Elk
aminer, of the 31st ult., states that ii
was Colonel Aaron Burr, ex-Vice Presi-
dent of the Union, who watched as Mr..
Gaines lay sick of a fever, at St. Ste
phens, in 1906. He sent news Of the
massacre of Fort Mimms to General
jackson, III 1913, and explored the West
for home for the Choctaws, in 1929.
He was Senator from Marengo and
Clarke, in 1S25-forty-eigh Year, ago
and owned the first store at the town OF
DemOpolis. For many years he was
President Of the branch Bank Of Mobile.
When General jackson was about to re-
tire from the Presidency, he stood on the
porch Of the White House, and, in pres
ence of Mr.. Gaines, told the President
elect, Mr. Van Buren,, that if Mr..
Gaines should ever apply for an office,
he hoped that he would not refuse him
q for" said General jackson, L" Mr..
Gaines will ask for no position that he
cannot fill
The town of Gainesville, i'll Sumter,
was named for Mr.. Gaines, in conse-
quence of the incident so tlattering to
him, to be found in Brewers ala
bama, page 526.
He was truly a noble man, with but
one side to his honorable nature; and he
deserved to live out the full measure Of a
useful life, if life be blissful existence.
Born in 1884, he was young man when
the century began He was the brother
of Major General +. ?. Gaines, and
uncle of Mr.. F. 5. Lyon, of Marengo.
His eye had glanced over the most inter
esting period of the worlds history, and
he had lived from the simplicity OF the
old time to the grossness of the present,
without being corrupted by its follies
and vices. There are but few men like
George S. Gaines, and the fact is a
grievous one.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1873-02-20

There are two ways of renting; first,
by money rent; second, by grain rent;
if by money rent, the renter pays or
buys the rent of the land, paying from
So to So per acre, when the crop is ma
tured the renter gets all he raises, and
controls the land as if it were his own.
This mode is not very common, as there
are but few who will rent for money; for,
should the crop fail, they would be una
BILE to raise the rent.
Grain rent is the most common way of
renting, and there are different plans of
doing that | will give them:
Tho first and most common way is for
the renter to furnish all the labor, and
gent one-half of the corn in the field,
and the landlord the other half, each
gathering his share. Also, half the
wheat in the shock, and half the hay in
the windrow.
Another is for the proprietor or land
lord to furnish everything needed, for
which he receives two-thirds of the crop,
the renter furnishing all the labor and
receiving one-third.
4 great many young men, unmarried,
rent in preference to hiring to farmers,
and where farmers can rent to industri-
Gus, energetic young men, giving them
one-fourth, the renter being a steady
hand throughout the crop season, it is
better than to hire, as all will be interest
ed in the crop.
There is still another way, which is
for the landlord to hire his crop tended,
that is to pillow, plant and tend the crop,
\ for certain price per acre. 1T the crop
I be corn, the amount of labor is specified,
and the one employed furnishes every
thing, and usually receives five dollars
per acre. This mode is fast becoming
defunct, as it almost invariably involves
the parties in a law suit, as one or the
other is sure to be dissatisfied.
Some of the renters in our State are
men of considerable wealth perhap:
they are worth as much as the landlords
from whom they rent. They prefer
renting to owning the land, on account
of the taxes and the expense of keeping
up farm. To have good renters, furnish
good dwellings, and use them well, is the
duty of the landholder; to be honest anC
industrious, is the renters duty, anC
when this rule is lived up to, both partie
will find it profitable. Cor. Our Hom
