FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL %, 1878.
Il DIVIDED COURT OF APPEALS
ON THE COUPON TAX QUES-
TTON


TTON.
A telegram from Richmond to the VIM
DICTATOR from Mr.. JOHN II. DINNEEN, a
member of the Richmond bar, says that
the right to tax coupons was up yesterday
in the case Of HARTMAN VS.. GREENHOW,
City Treasurer. in which the latter han
refused to take coupons at their face value
in payment of taxes, w. L. RoYALL for
HARTMAN and the Attorney General for
GREENHoW. The opinion of the Court
was delivered Judges CHRISTIAN and
ANDERSON holding that the tax on cou-
pons was unconstitutional and Judges
STAPLES and BURKEs holding it valid and
constitutional. Judge MoNcURE did not
sit in the case. The Court being equally
divided the rule against GREENHoW was
discharged. So the tax on coupons as
sessed by the Auditor of the State must
continue to be laid.

How to Live TIVE Hundred Years.

If any body wants to live couple of
centuries, G) let him never overfeed !;
and CD let him never get drunk. At
least those are the rules of health laid
down by Miguel Soils, half-breed
farmer in the foothills Of the Sierra
Mesila, New Granada, who confesses to
being ITO years old, but is believed by
his neighbors to be really much older.
DR.. Lutz Hernandez, who has recently
paid him visit, found him at work in
his orchard; his skin was the color of
parchment, but he was robust and ac-
tive; his snow-white hair was twisted
turban fashion round his head, and his
eyes were so bright that the doctor felt
quite uncomfortable when they were
turned upon him. Miguel said that the
secret Of his living a century or two was
very simple-simply never getting
drunk and never overfeeding. N eat
only once a day, big, hearty meal,
which 1t often takes me half an hour to
get through with; but, you see, it is not
possible in half an hour to eat more
than you can digest in the next twenty
four" He went on to say that lie had
not made up his mind about meat, but
ulu Hot ctt lHuCu "a ~. llt IAsUeQ on
the first and middle days of each month,
eating nothing, but drinking all the wa
ter he could swallow. He always let
cooked food cool before tasting it; and
to this precaution he attributed the fact
that his teeth are as sound now rs they
we're los years ago. DIR. Hernandez
was informed by some Of the oldest in
habitants Of the district that they well
remembered Miguel as a reputed CEN
tenarian when they were boys; also,
that the name Of Miguel Soils, colored
farmer, appears in a list, still preserved,
of the contributors 10 the building fund
Of a Franciscan monastery near San Sc
bastian, which was founded in 1712,
and that the present abbot is positive it
is the same man. But, protractcd as has
been his sojourn on earth, he has not
succeeded in winning the respect Of his
fellow-beings. The Indians in the neigh
borhood firmly believe that he has sold
his soul to the devil.
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1878-05-31

A medical correspondent Of the Lon
don Telegraph, few weeks ago, gave
the following account of such . case:
"A lady, residing in the country, wrote
to inform friend in this neighborhood
EAST Sheen) that she was occupied in
nursing her daughter, suffering from
scarlatina. The friend, after reading
and burning the letter, gave the envel-
ope in which il was contained to one Of
her children to play with. Ten days
later was requested to see the same
child, when the diffused red rash over
the skin, elevated temperature and Ill
cerated tonsils clearly pointed to the
nature Of the malady with which was
called upon to deal. From inquiries
that / have since made am satisfied
that unless the disease originated dc
moro II could be traced to no other
source Of infection than the unfortunate
envelope previously mentioned. Pre-
ventive medicine Is always better than
curative. I would therefore suggest
that all communications not absolutely
necessary, written from an infected
house, be interdicted, and then, when
received, both letters and envelopes b
immediately consigned TO the nearest
fire.
