An important decision, touching the
legality Of advertising in newspapers
printe d on the cooperative plan, has
been rendered BY the New Jersey
courts. A mortgage sale was adver-
tised in newspaper printed on this
plan, and the property was sold as adj
vertised. The owner Of the property
protested against the proceedings. on
the ground that the advertisement
thereof was not legal, because the
newspaper printing il was so-callcd
"patent inside" A petition 10 set
aside the sale was accordingly filed in
chancery. The petition fully and square
" raised the issue as TO whether news
paper using patent outside" print
ed outside the State, was newspaper
printed and published in the State, in
which land sales might be legally adj
vertised. The question was fully
argued before the Vice Chancellor, At
Newark. N. j.. and decision rendered
"that such an advertisement was legal
and sufficient, and was both . substan-
tial and literal compliance with the
statutory requirement." and the mo-
tion TO set aside the sale was denied
and petition dismissed.

In the debate in the House Of Lords
last week Sir Charles Dixie said that the
income Of the Queen was f3s5,OO0, or
about 81 ,925,0OO per annum, but that
she did not spend one-half Of il, not
withstanding the act o. Parliament
specially stated that f325, 900 Of this
sum twas TO be spent in maintaining
the state which pertains 70 the sovereign
of Great Britain :" What does she do
with it?- is question which is being
asked in private circles and is beginning
TO be discussed in the newspapers. A
writer in the Mayfair, paper which Is
supported by the best Of English socie-
~, discusses this subject, and says that
/" for sixteen years the English nation
has faithfully performed It's part OF the
contract in allowing her Majesty, a. the
head Of the State, magnificent income,
and people Of an arithmetical turn Of
mind want to know what has become Of
these vast successive annual payments
Beyond an occasional drawing room re-
ception, state ball, concert now and
then, Queen Victoria spends nothing In
state display. This Is well known and
extensively discussed fact. Even these
expenditures were suspended during her
long retiracy, but her income was regu-
larry drawn from the Treasury, and
large sums called for to endow her nu-
merous children so soon As they reach
the age Of maturity or marry. The
writer in the Mayfair concludes with
the remark that this grasping and pc
nuriousness Of the Queen "tcnds to
bring the crown into contempt" This
is very plain language, and will some
day lead TO trouble.--London Letter 10

The Charlottesville Wal Chronicle
says: When X. Il. W. Duke entered
the Confederate service in 1861 az Cap
tain Of Company A, Nineteenth Virginia
Regiment, he carried with him an old
sword which, according 10 the family
tradition, was the sword Of DIR. Thomas
Walker-the Colonel's greaf-grandfa-
ther-who was Commissary- General Of
the Virginia troops under Washington,
in Braddock's army. At the battle Of
Sailors Creek, April 6, 1865, Colonel
Duke, then commanding a regiment in
Gusts Lees division, was, with his en-
tire command. captured by the Federal
troops. The Colonel surrendered to .
Lieutenant Cronert, in q New York
regiment, and requested his captor to
preserve his sword, acquainting him
with its value as family relic. Captor
and captured then exchanged addresses
and parted, the Colonel to remain some
months in Johnson's Island Prison.
Since the war several efforts have
been made TO find out the Colonel's
captor, but it was only few months
ago that his present address was OBJ
tanned, and letter received from him
contained the information that the
sword was still in his possession. After
some negotiations the sword was for
warded, and j. now in the Colonel's pos
session.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 29.-The terrible
scourge is increasing every moment.
There is hardly house in the city, not
entirely vacant, but has one or more
persons down with the disease or lying
dead awaiting burial The increase Of
the malady among the negro population
to-day Is frightful, while it does not
seem TO relinquish its hold upon the
white people. Every hour in the day
new victims are reported, and physi-
clans 90 from house TO house on the run.
The County Jail, which, in 1873, was in
the heart OF the infected district, vet had
not single case then, now reports sew
en- cases. The prisoners, numbering
near hundred, are now being removed
TO the Forest Prison farm, on Presi-
dents Island, where they will be kept
under strong guard. The atmosphere
is thick with the pestilential poison, and
as tie disease increases its numbers of
victims there is corresponding increase
of alarm among the well ones who have
thus far escaped, and large numbers are
moving out into the country, some pre-
ferring even to take up their abode in
freight cars on the lines of railway
rather than risk their lives in this
scourged city. Father Walsh, of St.
Bridget's Catholic Church, died this
morning. Ed. j. Mansford, one Of the
Howard visitors, is down this morning.
His associate, Mr.. Rheard, fell yester-
day. This makes five Towards that
have fallen in that one district. The
rainy, damp weather that set in at noon
to-day win undoubtedly increase the
terror of the disease, and fearful results
are expected the next few days.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 30.-Physicians from
other cities continue to arrive and have
gone to work in good earnest. Nurses
also from Mobile, Shreveport, Charles
ton and other points have reported to
the Howard and other relief associations
and are being assigned to duty. Appli-
cations for medical attention and nurses
however are on file which can not be
filled until more arrive. Found dead
in house," has become common re-
port from the visiting nurses. A sad
case OF this character is that of DIR. X.
p. Watson. He had worked like Tro-
jan since the fever broke out as physi-
clan and nurse, but finally was missed,
no one knowing what had become of
him. Yesterday visitor went to his
temporary quarters, his family having
been sent out of the city, found the door
locked, knocked il open and found the
dead body with all the symptoms Of
having died Of yellow fever. 1t could
not be ascertained how long he had
been dead. DIR. Watson was one Of the
most active physicians in the epidemic
of 1873.

A Persistent Lover.

The Groesbeck Texas) NeD Era re-
cords the singular courtship Of a Prairie
Grove gallant as an illustration that "faint
heart never won fair lady" He proposed,
but was gently refused. He went a second
and third time with the same result; but
at length he rode over ono evening and
told her ho would neither eat, sleep nor
speak until she consented to become his
bride. She invited him in to dinner; he
shook his head. She talked on he merely
looked detected. Then she requested him
to take supper negative shake of the
head was the only reply. She played,
sang and chatted on till bedtime, when a
servant showed him room a negative
shake. She tripped away to her chamber;
he sat determinedly still. About twelve
O'Clock she came back and said, 4" don't
wish to cause tho death of good officer,
80 will marry you" The released one
rose, and with much eagerness said, "My
dear, have you any cold victuals ON hand 2"

A Strange Scene.

The indianapolis News says; A here
tofore respectable citizen of Lafayette and
his wife got on high drunk TO celebrate
the holiday season. The house, which was
their own property, was comfortably, even
handsomely furnished, and beautiful
Christmas tree had been set up for the
children. Both got drunk, and they pro-
ceeded to make general wreck of every
thing in the house. When the Courier
reporter entered the house next morning,
about nine o'clock, the wife lay on lounge
in drunken stupor, while the husband,
half attired, sat amid the ruins crying
bitterly.
Everything breakable had been destroy
cd, even to the pictures on the wall. The
windows were broken out, the curtains
torn down, bird cages smashed, the birds
killed, the dogs leg broken--in short, it
seemed as though an effort had been made
to effect the complete destruction of the
contents of the house. The man was just
beginning to realize the consequences of
his folly, and was completely broken down.

A Girls Find.


One day last week, says the Susanvile
(Cal.) Advocate, a little daughter of John
r. Dunn, of this valley, was following
after the plow in her fathers field, when
she picked up piece of gold that weighed
twelve and three-quarters ounces. The
The girl did not at first know what it was,
and, dropping it in the path on the way to
the house, told her folks that she had found
big piece of brass, but had thrown it
away. Some of the folks went with her
and soon brought in the chunk, which is
valued at about $3.50. Further search was
instituted the following day by Tom NAL
rony and others, when several more small
pieces OF, gold were found, weighing from
one to seven ounces each The place
where this gold was found is the site where
once stood the cabin of the Frenchman
murdered by Snow and Mnllan, and this
gold must have been buried there by this
Frenchman. A splendid find for the little
girl.

A Very Sharp Couple.

A married couple of Mendoza, who had
lived in happiness in Illinois, went to
Kansas, recently, and were divorced. The
mystery is now explained. The husband
had homestead of 160 acres of fine farm
ing land, and there was another 100 acres
adjoining not yet taken up. The pair were
divorced, the woman entered the vacant
quarter section, and established her claims
as the head of family. This having been
done the pair were remarked, and now
they have fine farm of half section.

Somerville, Mass, Dec. 6, 1876.
Messrs. Seth w. Fowle & Sons
Gentlemen - Last Spring my little
daughter, aged five, became very much
emaciated with loss of appetite, and great
prostration of strength, so much so that
we were obliged to take her out of school.
This continued through the Summer and
caused us much anxiety. After trying
various remedies without deriving any
benefit, our family physician recommended
the use of Peruvian Syrup. After using it
one week we saw marked improvement
in the child's condition, and in a month
she was rapidly gaining in health and
strength, her appetite being excellent. At
this date she is perfectly we'll, with round,
plump cheeks, and healthy color, and is
again attending school regularly. l con-
slider her restoration to health entirely due
10 the Peruvian Syrup, and feel that can
not too highly recommend it as tonic.
Very gratefully yours, CHAs. Fl. COLGATE.
