DR.. Sample, who has perhaps more patients
than any other physician in the city, has OF
late been very ill, and there was time when
his many friends feared that they would lose
the benefit of his prescriptions. But thanks
to good fortune, good nursing and skillful
medical treatment, the Doctor escaped the jaws
of death and is now himself again, prepared
to minister to the spiritual wants of his
friends at the "NIaison Blanche" on Canal
street.

London journals have frequently of late
had articles on the subject Of a Third Sex, "
and writer in the Woman's Journal thus al
ludes to the matter: There is growing up
in England large class of women who do
not marry, who do not wish to marry, but
who apparently wish not to marry. They
deliberately devote themselves to literature,
to teaching, to some trade, generally an artis-
tic one, ut any rate to some occupation that
gives a livelihood and tends to culture, and
this they choose for life. The marrying in
stinct seems dead, or rather never to have
been born in them. They do not seem to be
thought of as out of place, but, on the con-
trary, they move into fit places in the great
societal organism easily and naturally, and
are accented without remark"
The debt of the State of Illinois on the 1st
of January, 1875, will only be sl,73o,97O. OF
this sum, $3.50, 600 will be paid on that date,
leaving a balance of 81, 100000. This in
cludes s12, 2,221 old debt on which interest has
ceased. and which has never been presented
for payment. The State could readily pay
the remainder of million and halt, but has
no means Of compelling the creditors to accept
their money.

the requirement of section 2O14, which fixes
the minimum amount necessary to give the
Third District Court original jurisdiction IN
a case like the injunction suit brought by
Howard, l find no conflict between the pro-
visions of those sections and those Of article
l2G, C. P. On the contrary, the sections and
the articles aforesaid are in perfect accord
with each other, as they provide alike that
the Third District Court alone shall have
jurisdiction to restrain and enjoin seizures
made under orders issued by justices Of the
peace, the article of the Code of Practice i'm
posing as prerequisite to this jurisdiction
that the value of the property seized exceed
one hundred dollars, !. z. shal! be Of such
amount as section 2O14, r. S., requires
in order to give jurisdiction to the
Third District Court in all matters
except appeals. Justices Of the Peace IN the
country parishes have power, under Art. 112t
G. p, to issue writs of injunction. There
is no law expressly authorizing Justice OF
the Peace in the parish OF Orleans to issue an
Injunction, even for the purpose OF restrain
ing a writ of fl. ia. issued by himself 1t is
declared by Art. 1852 c. P, that "Justices o
the Peace possess all such powers as are
necessary to jurisdiction conferred on them,
in cases where no express provision has been
made bv this CODE" This article cannot be
invoked in support Of defendants theory O.
the exclusive right of the Third Justice
Court to issue writ Of injunction in the cast
referred to. because that court is expressly
deprived Of the kind of jurisdiction to which
the wnt of Injunction is auxiliary, as have
already shown. I have, therefore, no doubt
as to the jurisdiction of the Third Distric,
Court to issue the injunction in question and
perpetuate the same.

Wearing Out OF Soils.

1t is common to hear people ia the
far west boast that they can take crop
after crop from their virgin soils for
several successive years without impair
ing the general fertility thereof. This is
regarded something marvellous and as
something which could not occur in
any other part of the world. 1t is, how
ever, clear that this representation has
been overdrawn. Only in the bottoms
such az that of the Muskingum, and
Scioto, in Ohio, is there any great degree
permanence in this continual CROP
ping and this chiefly from the fact that
fertilizing agents are brought down
from the high lands about them. In
the flat lands the stability of the great
richness is little more than in the
lands of the older States. In Ohio
especially, lands, once of superior
quality for corn and wheat, have be-
come so run down that they are given
over to sheep-walks, as being the only
sure thing-at least the surest return
that can be made from the land.
We can do nearly as much here in
the east. We have known land near
Philadelphia which has been under
culture for perhaps a hundred years,
produce corn six successive years in
fair quantity, with no artificial aid but
little shovelings,n which means
rich earth scraped together here and
there and put in the hills when the
corn is planted.
The fsct is, land is pretty much the
same all the world over in its adapta-
ton to certain crops. When things
are forced TO grow in land not well
suited TO their growth they soon fail,
even when well-cared for but when
they find their natural element nc
great amount of artificial aid is requir-
ed to keep the land in good condition
for years.
Even in the older countries OF
Europe, where land has been in cul.
tivation for a thousand years, has thi:
principle been found TO hold good
Experiments have been made with
some of the cereals-first selecting
land known to be favorable 10 some
special thing, and then by ma
nuring annually lightly with materia
also known to be favorable TO the
plant. Crop after crop has been takeI
for twenty years, and the last has beer
as good as the first.
Yet with all these facts we often read o
thequestiou being discussed, VIII soil
wear out? We believe there is no sucl
thing in nature. Some Of the element
will OF course be much diminished
and will need an occasional replenish
ing; but we would not suppose gu
digestive organs had worn out becaus
we felt hungry and neither in any sen
sible light can we suppose soil viii
wear out.-GerndrtOtyn IcLc.groph.
