Trade in Kisses.

a curious divorce case is on the tapis
in Harrison county A wife who was
greatly in need of mess of cabbage
made "bargain and sale" with neigh
Dor, trading three kisses for three heads
of cabbage. The irate husband accused
her of the act; she acknowledged the
circumstance and added that she thought
she had made a good bargain. The hus-
band did not care much for the loss of
the kisses, but was fearful that they in
dicated more than was apparent on "the
face of the returns" and so has filed his
petition for divorce.

ny friends supposed. I reckon, that
: honors we're easy. and that everything
depended on the odd trick"
II is the duty Of q Circuit Judge to
aid, and not try TO defeat review Of bis
judgments in the Supreme Court. In
recognition of this duty we need only
call attention to the action Of the learned
aud lamented Judge Emmons, in the
well kown case of 7. E. Brown VS.. city
Of Memphis, as reported in "a U. s. Re-
ports. In that case a judgment had
been rendered. and the time within which
appeal might be taken had elapsed, and
It was too late to take an appeal, Judge
Emmons, though perfectly satisfied that
his judgment was right, set aside the
judgment Of many months before, and
re.entered identically the same judg-
ment, for the sole purpose Of aiding the
right of review in the Supreme Court.
But / have already said enough, per.
haps too much, about a case that is
ended. And l would not have consented
to do so had not the impression been
made by publications in the papers that
the Supreme Court had passed favorably
upon the merits Of the claims, when in
point of fact the Supreme Court had
" looked into the case. but had
merely dismissed the cases for want of
jurisdiction upon seeing that the judg-
ments were not in excess Of $4,000. The
impression unfortunately is too preva.
lent that insurance companies make I'M
merited defenses to just liabilities. Ger
tain is it that these cases should not con-
tribute'to such impression, My own OBJ
servation and experience IS well as a
pretty extensive examination of the in
aurance cases reported in our books, has
lead me to the conviction that for every
n case OF wrongful defense by an in.
surance company, there ale ten cases Of
fraudulent imposition Of unmerited
claims upon the companies; which fact,
together with the habit Of juries in giving
verdicts against the corporations, is the
principal cause OF the bankruptcy and
ruin of so many insurance companies,
always to the detriment Of innocent
policy holders.

spring time returned TO welcome
the vernal season with their notes
of melody, the vital cord that held
her soul and body together would
be cut asunder and all her young
love dreams would perish.
The young lady, at the com.
mencement Of the holidays, celebra-
ted the pleasing season by sending
for a minister and giving her affec-
tons to Him whose love is sufficient
TO afford perfect peace and conf
dence to the soul as it takes it's
journey into the dark valley. Rev.
Mr.. Pitner received her into the
church, administered the sacrament
of baptism and the Lords supper,
and, thus prepared, she awaited in
patience the time when her change
should come.
YEARLY enough, doubtless,
dragged the hours, but she muir
INJURED not. Yet it was plain to her
friends that some great desire lay
hidden in her heart, to which she
dared not give expression. Yester-
day the curtain began to move
downward upon her life, and she
realized hat very soon it would fall
to go up no more. Then she sent
for her betrothed, Mr.. Nichols, for
there was an engagement, and when
he came she was able to say, at
must be now, Joseph, or never"
So the license was procured. Rev.
Mr.. Pitner was sent for, and Joseph
Nichols and Mamie Woods were
united as man and wife. But the
union was brief. The wedding gar
ments of the bride were but her
funeral clothes, and the husband of
an hour is now the mourner over
the bier of love and beauty. The
story is a sad one.

HAs lAe moral standard Of this CON.
muuity sunk so low as to warrant even
the covert insinuation that men sworn
to perform certain dates On election day
will violate their oaths to serve the int.
rests Of certain candidates2 Is it to be
understood that "Flippin" officials will
stuff ballot boxes and make false returns
for Flippin; that johnson" officials
will stuff ballot-boxes and make false re-
turns for Johnson, and that Anderson
officials will stuff ballot-boxes aud make
false returns for Anderson2 If not, what

Avalanche, llth.
To each and all of the above queOtions
except the last we answer no. But we
do say il is something unheard Of since
the paimiest days of Radicalism for any
officer having the power to appoint
judges of election, and being a candidate
for reelection, to disregard such a re-
quest as was made upon Mayor Flippin
by the Democratic executive committee.
If the real Or supposed personal pref
erences of election officers amount to
nothing" %hy did Mayor Johnson ap.
point only one Johnson man on the list
Of thirty judges of election2 If it
amounts TO nothing, why did he not az
point one Flippin man and t~wenty-nine
others, divided between Johnson and
Anderson? Such a discrimination has
rarely been made in the history of local
politics, and it %recoils upon the nan
making it. This step, this lack Of court.
esy and a spirit of fair dealing makes
hundreds Of Johnson votes. His friends
can stand al such moves.
