Why imperative?

The Memphis Ledger suggests
as one reason why the mortgage
law enacted at the last session of
our General Assembly is practi-
cally dead letter, is the facility
with which injunctions can be
obtained. The Chancery Courts
have almost unlimited power, and
often grant injuctions upon pc,
tiiions based upon the most friv.
olous grounds. The delays of the
law are proverbial, and nowhere
more irequetly illustrated than in
the Chancery Courts Missouri

Arkansas Logic.

There would appear to be nj
limit to the efrontery of Arkan
sas Radicals. Take the case of
Smith. Smith asserts that he is
and of right, and ought to be
Governor, because Baxter, who
was the lawful Governor abdica-
ted, by going out at the mandate
Of an unlawful State Convention.
1t seems that this logic cuts
Smiths own throat fatally in three
places First, Smith went into
the Brooks camp last spring and
admitted that Brooks was Govern
or and Baxter was no'-although
be was elected Lieutenant Govern
or on the same ticket with the
latter. Second, he took his seat
in Baxter's legislature and signed
the act calling the convention
which he now declares to have
been unlawful. Third, be was a
candidate tor delegate to this
same unlawful convention-and
more than that, be was elected,
took his seat in it, participated in
It's proceedings and drew his pay as
member of the whole session.
Now, he declares that he is
Governor, because this convention
Of which he was a member, was
a lawless body, and had no right
to ,depose Baxter. This sort of
argument would kill anybody but
an ArkansaS Radical, but it has
not the slightest effect on the con-
sciene Of Smith.

The Transit of Venus.

Tmesday, 8th inst, the transit
of Venus across the face of the
sun was observed from our plan
ct. This phenomenon is of im-
portance in enabling astronomers
to approximate the suns parallax.
and by that to calculate with
some degree of certainty The dis
tance from it to the earth.
This plan OF obtaining The dis
tance between the sun and tie
earth was first adopted by Hal
LEY, and is to observe from distant
points at the same time the differ
ut positions that tie planet Ven
US will take upon the suns disc
from those points. aud ny follow
ing her course acruss'the solar disc
by these positions the parallax
may be determined by the dis
tanee detween the paths.
The transit Of VEINS was op-
served when it last occurred, in
1869, both in this country and Ia
Europe, land the parallax from the
observations taken at that time
was, according to the calculations
ENCKE, s so. This compare0
with the calculations of the pa
rallax of the year 17GI. and the
allowance for error. gave the dis
tance sought as 95, $4,000 miles.
But other methods by which
this distance may be measured
have shown there were errors IN
the observations and calculations
that were not corrected, and have
fixed the parallax as between
$50 and s sc, making the dis
tance between 90, 100000 and
92,70O,0OO miles.
The Governments of Italy,
England, France. Germany, Aus
tria, Russia, Holland aud the
United States, have each fitted
out expeditions for the purpose of
taking observations of this transit,
ard with the great advance i'll as.
Economical knowledge and the i'm
prOvment in instruments since the
year 1869, there can be no doubt
but the result will be to deter
mine the distance with much
greater exactness.
The transit of Venus was not
observed from any Tart Of the
United States, and our Govern
ment sent out ei bt parties to
take up stations where tie full
transit might be seen. Three of
these are in the northern hemiS-
Dhere, and FIVE in the southern,
where the probabilities Of lair
weather are not SO great.
The points selrc cd for these
stations are Wladinostok, iii south.
eastern Siberia; Nagasaki, in Ja-
pan; Pekin or Shanghai, in Chi
na; Crozet Isisnd, in Kerguelen
Land (the two latter being in
Indian OCEAN,; Hobart Town, ii,
Tasmania; at some poiut in the
Southern New Zealand, and Cha
than Island, three hundred miles
east of New Zealand.
The transit IF VenHs occurs
eight times in every 243 JeaF1.
1t will take place i'll eight years
rom this time, Whea th" ca!cula-
lions made on this OCCASION may
De verified, and it will not happen

An Old Fool and a Smart
Waiter Girl.
New York Correspondence of the Boston
journal.

New York Correspondence of the Bostor
Journal.
Last summer a wealthy man
ufacturer of New England Wis
tied the White Mountains. He
became infatuated with one of
the waiter girls. He agreed to
! give her an education and adopt
her, though he had several
daughters of his own. She
| joyfully accepted the prop
osition, flung her white apron
behind the door and started on
her new life. Of course the
connection could not be very
satisfactory to the family. The
girl had vein of shrewdness
about her, and insisted that
the formal paper of adoption
should be drawn up. This was
done, and the girl was sent TO
a well-known educational in
stitution to receive a little pol
ish. A correspondence was
kept up between the parties.
But to outsiders the matter was
not satisfactory, and the Prin-
cipals refused to receive the
young lady into the school after
the vacation was over. Soon
after the gentleman went crazy,
and was removed to the lunatic
asylum; removed, as the girl
said, to get him beyond her
reach. The remittances failed,
and of course there was trouble
in the new school into which
the girl had entered. On the
passing way of insanity, the in
fatuation of the old man seemed
to go with it. He tried to break
up the correspondence, without
success, and the family exerted
all its influence to recover the
fatal bond Of adoption; but the
girl held ON to it. She had, be-
sides, a bushel Of letters breath
ing the most ardent affection.
A pecuniary negotiation was
set on foot, which at the first
the maiden repudiated. She
profe- sed to be devotedly at
tached TO The old man, and did
not want money. But it was
not worth the paper it was writ
ten on. Then the young lady |
came to terms, and the sum Of
$500 healed the broken Eealt
and wrung from Ter an obIiga-
ton that she would trouble the
old man no more.

Eight Years Litigation
for 81 SO.
From the New Haven Palladium.

The case of Hotchkiss agt.
Hoey, which has been in court
TO: nearly eight years, has reach
ed the Supreme Court. The
smallness Of the sum involved
-7.50-and the principle en-
bodied in the suit, make it's APP
pearance in the highest court
of the State a subject of con-
siderable comment. On Jan.
20, 1867, on the public highway
leading from Cheshire to Wa
terbury, the plaintiff was dri-
wing a sleigh containing pleas
ure party and drawn by six hor-
ses, when the defendant appear
ed before him with a one-horse
sleigh = comparatively no team
at all-and persisted in walking
his horse The plaintiff desired
the defendant to turn out so that
his pleasure party might pass,
but he was implacable. For
two long, ,dreary miles the plain
tiff alleges, the one-horse
sleigh was unnecessarily
wrongfully and anlawfully <
's in a slow walk immediately
forward Of the plaintiffs team"
1t was not until George Hines
house was reached that the de-
fendant allowed the plaintiff 10
pass. The feelings Of the plain
tiff at that time cannot be imag-
ined, but it isnot ditliculttocon-
ceiyc Of Il very deliberate jour
ney to a lawyers Office and an
overhauling of the statute
books. "An act concerning the
driving Of carriages and the
management of steamboats,"
was found. The penalty for
the violation Of the statute is
81 80, half to the town in which
the violation is done and half to
the informer. A suit was at
once brought before a Justice,
and Mr.. Hotchkiss got his 1915
that is he got a Judgment for
the amount. The case was then
taken to the Superior Court, OH
an appeal, and thence to the
Supreme Court by the plaintiff,
because the defendant demurr-
ed that the declaration was in
sufficiently sustained. Eight
years litigation for $50 has
cost somebody something for
counsel fees, and will cost some
body more before the climax is
reached.

A decision has recently been
rendered in a United States Dis
trict Court in this State hat per-
sons represented as stockholders
in National Banks are held liable
for its liabilities even though they
may have transferred their shares.
In other words it is made the du.
ty OF stockholders TO see that such
transfer is made in the books OF
the company. This fact will
probably be of interest TO persons
who have transferred their stock
without relieving themselves Of
future liability. @s;
