! matter the damages are only due after
the dsbter has bean put in default # the
use or p0ssessiOn Of the restaurant hiss been
delivered or given to the plaintiff, and,
after that, Illegally taken from him, the de-
fendants have thereby committed an act
clearly inc0nsistent with the obligation
flowing from the contract entered into; the
violation complained of il, therefore, an
active violation, and the plaintiff is entitled
to his action in damages without the for
mality of the putting in mora being COM
piled with. These two propositions are to
be ascertained from the allegations set
forth in plaintiffs petition, and not from
aliMsade, which allegations, for the purpose
Of the perempt0ry exception herein filed,
must be taken az true; but the plaintiffs
petition is 40 concise, and the allegations
therein contained seem to be so little def
mite, 30 little explicit as to the delivery or
non-delivery Of the possession of the res
taurant, that hesitate, indeed, to decide
upon either of the two propositions above
mentioned without calling into question the
correctness Of my decision.
In order, therefore, of subscribing the
ends Of justice, think it cOnsonant with
the peremptOry exception herein filed, re-
serving to the defendants the right to urge
the same on the trial of the case. well sat
isfied that the evidence to be therein adj
duced on both sides will then permit me
to solve the question growing out of that

For these reasons, let the peremptOry ex-
cepti0n herein fled by the defendants be
Overruled, reserving, however, to said de-
PENDANTS the right to urge the same on the

WHY He Was Puxxled.

The funny man of the House this summer,
is said to be Mr.. Nesmith, of Oregon, who
tells on himself some very amusing stories.
He served one term in the Senate several
years ago, and few days after he was
sworn in he was passing one of the cloak
rooms, and inside were Fessenden, Morrill,
and several others, whose names we can't
recall. They hailed him, invited him in,
and after cenversing for q few moments,
they asked him very abruptly:
''Mr. Nesmith, you have come from a
very wild country, wbere you say the
greater portion of your life has been passed
Will you tell US what first struck you on
coming to the Senate"
swell, gentlemen. when took my seat
in this august body, said to be composed of
the brains of our great country, was over
whelmed with the strangeness Of this one
idea, how / came to be here"
ooh! All! Ugh! So! And then, Mr. Mes
NTH, what then-what was your next cause
for wonder?'
'The next thing, gentlemen" answered
Mr.. Nesmith, slowly gathering up his great
length, that came to me and puzzled me
more than the first thought. was hsw in the
deuce all you other fellows got here"
There was q shout, and from that day
these solemn old fellows, who had thought
to overawe by their pomposity this crude
young Senator, were his sworn friends and
never neglected an opportunity to tell this
story.

Loui siana Has Wild Child Of the Woods
Before putting before our readers one Of
the most singular incidents of . persona
life that has yet been related, it would be
we'll to give to the public an insight of the
cause Of this wonder. Our narrative is
about Young girl, supposed topbe seven
In the year 1873 Mr.. Mcdonald, resi-
dent of this parish, for some reason un-
known to any one, left this State for Texas.
His trip between our parish and the sought
for State must have been fatal indeed, for
from the time he left until the present mo-
ment not word has been heard, neither
from NOR of him. It is generally believed
that he was drowned in q marsh adjoining
this parish. The only companion he was
known to have was little girl of about
seven years of age. As nothing was
heard Of the whereabouts of the father,
it was the general impression that the
young and innocent child had also found
. premature watery grave; but to the as
Constituent Of this community, it was re-
white child, in q nude condition, had been
seen in the neighborhood of DIR. Mime
residence. The child, it would seem, was
ignorant of the existence Of any being of
it's kind, and had partaken of the wild ma
ture that surrounded her, for on the ap-
pearance of the person who saw her she
ran in the opposite direction, pursued by
his dogs, which he called of, when she dis
appeared, perhaps forever. Since then the
woods have been searched by experienced
swampers; the most secret recesses were
hunted, but until now all efforts have been
OF no avail. The cry of humanity and
charity call on every one to relieve this
child from her present misery. and We
hope that, If not carried away by the re-
cent high waters, ere long the tidings of
her capture will have reached us, in which
event we will take pleasure in informing
the public of the manner in which the child
lived, and how she was captured.
