 from Arkansas county. This judgment was rendered against O'bannon before a justice, : under the code practice, on the 7th April, 1873. He prayed an ] appeal on that day, which was granted, and filed the transcript . in the circuit court May l9. The appeal was dismissed in the cir cult court for want of affidavit that it was not taken for delay, etc. Opinion by Judge Walker. ABSTRACT.
 When the jldement was rem aered the defendant had sixty , days to appeal, without affidavit. , The act of 25th April, 1873, linn tied the time to thirty days, re- quired an affidavit, and repealed the code practice. This allowed defendant only eight days to learn of the law and perfect his : appeal. It was q practical denial of his right to appeal; and, in so far, the act of April 29 was uncon- stitutlonal. The appeal was prop crly taken under the code prac- ticc and the circuit court erred in afsmissing it. In all cases where the new law did not allow reas- onable time for appeal, the old practice should prevail.
 Judgment reversed, and case remanded.
 Turner vs. Baker. Appeal from White county.
 Action by a school teacher against a subscriber who had re- fused to send or pay for the pu- pills subscribed. Judgment for plaintiff and appeal. Opinion by Judge Harrison.
 ABSTRACT.
 A contract, to be binding, must be mutual and bind both parties. If it was understood that the artl- cles were only to bind the teacher if sixty pupils were subscribed, it did not bind the subscribers if the teacher opened his school with a subscription of only fifty-si The defendant was not obliged to send. It never became contract until the sixty were subscribed.
 One who contracts for any bus, mess, implicitly contracts that he is qualified, and to teach q school of youth, this includes moral as well as mental and phys  ical qualifications.
 But defendant cannot introduce evidence of any conduct on thC part of plaintiff, however rnpleas or provoking it may have been which does not tend to show hin unfit to be trusted as teacher 0 youth.

The Great Mustang Race Lost.

New YORK, May l9-SpeaSing
of the must ing race The Sun says:
Had the rider altered the direction
of his ride with every horse and had
he been properly fed. it is more than
likely that he could have made the
distance in the specified time. The
physicians who attended him when
he broke down are at loss to ac-
count for his sudden loss of sight in
one eye. II was no, that he had lost
pluck. but he had no physical
strength to back it. He had foolish
ly ridden the race wholly in one d.
rection, most fatiyuing exercise; be
had spent his best half of the day
without food, aud filled his heated
body with cold water. He was al
most unable to steady himself on
horseback. and those who saw him
We're apprehensive that he might
either drop or be thown from seme
of the horses. Finally at twenty
five minutes past three. as he finished
the 226th mile, and was supposed to
be about To mount the mustang
ready NJ his right hand, he staggered
like drunken man, and feeling
along the judges stand as a man
moves in the dark with his hands
outslretched, he entered the doorway,
rcelcd one way and then the other,
and dropped into a chair. From the
chair he fell heavily into the arms II
the ranchers and hostlers. They
laid him down on the floor and
ba,hed his head until the ply
sicians arrived. 4 am stone blind,
the PROSTATE rider exclaimed. oh,
! shall nsvcr see again The physi-
clans examined the riders eyes. Wis
ion had really gone from one of
them. He lid Parker that the all
mcnt was only temporary, and urged
him To mount the horse and continue
the race. Parker said painfully, i
am blind | can never ride any
more. Ii wasn't SO l would yet
win the race The Others urged
the rider 10 mount and ride again.
To them he replied, You want to
Kill me; am not strong enough In
move With difficulty he was
raised to his feet. The physician
asked him a question, and he replied
that his eyes were never diseased,
and he didn't think anything struck
or blinded the right eye. The seven
or eight thousand spectators clamor-
ed funousiy for the rider to appear
aud ride again. Their numbers were
increased by train and wagon loads,
and the utmos; excitement prevailed
when they saw the exhausted rider
borne along the track to his lodging
place IN the arms of his companions.
They watched him until he disap-
peared behind an outbuilding, and
then without further demonstration
quietly dispersed. A long train full
of business men, hurrying to the
track, arrived just as the foremost
among the returning spectators
reached the depot and all returned
together"

The Winslow Case.

or tQIee VI tVut ooS NV" w
have had no news from Winslow
the Boston forger. in whose behalf
Lord Derby has written to Secre'
tary Fish and Secretary Fish has
written to Lord Derby. 1t is hard
ly fair to say, however, that the
English Secretary has done his
writing and his thinking in this ex
tradition business in behalf Of any
body. He has pursued a course
dictated by well-grounded princi
pies. At last accounts Winslov
had been recommitted for ten days
to await further developments III
his case. That was four or fv.
days ago. The case involves some
very fine points of international
usage, As the reader is aware, the
English government wanted some
guaranty from tie United States
that the extradited criminal would
not be tried in this country for any
other than the crime for which he
was turned over, or that the charge
of forgery would be the only one
for which he would have to answer.
The reason for this. although 1t APP
pears arbitrary at first view, is
based upon very sound doctrine.
II Winslow were guilty OF treason,
and the United States wanted to
get hold OF him to try him on that
charge, it would be easy enough to
trump up a charge of forgery to get
hin brought back on and then pro-
coed with the main Indictment.
England does not recognize treason
against tie United States as crime,
and there is no provision in the
Ashbuftou treaty for the extradi-
ton Of man for that offense. The
United States does not recognize
treason agains, England as crime; ;
but both governments are at one
when it comes to cases OF murder.
arson, forgery and the like. Eng
land is an asylum for all the world,
or wants to be considered so, and
she will Tot ssvs up a man who
CLAIMS her protssuoa unless as
sured that he viii not have 20 answer
for treason 10 some other country.
She cares not how many cases of for
gerry or other such otfonses Winslow
may be tried upon, bat in order that
he may not have 10 answer for treason,
or some offense purely national, and
which she does not recognize, she
must demand that he will not be tried
for any offense but the one which he
is extradited for. The Government
o. the United States, il seems, cannot
give that guaranty. The State OF
Massachusetts, has charge against
Einslew. The general government
has no.e. Il wants him merely TO
turn him over TO that State. Once
he is there the general government
mas no jurisdiction, and cannot gave
Any pledge that no more than one
charge will be brought against
him. That matter would rest exelu-
sively with the State authorities.
This dilemma beautifully illustrates
the duality of our government. and
must be very consoling to the Bo>-
ton forger. But could not Massachu-
sets by special enactment TO secure
the result guarantee the United
States that he would be tried on the
one charge only, and then let Secre-
tary Fish pass the guaranty over 10
Great Britainl In revolving the mat
ter in ones mind that seems the only
Toad out of the difficulty. II is Il
very nice question, intricate and in
yolviny some fine international
points.
