TUESDAY, July 8-P. N

In the stock market to-day the shares OF the
Southwestern railroads, that are nominated for
the proposed combination for a transcOntiuen-
tai railroad route, were in less favor than they
yesterday. The opening figures, however, were up
to the best of yesterday and were followed by
further advance. But later there decline
ranging from % to 15s per cent, followed by par
tal recovery that left the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas 81, st. Louis. Kansas City aud Northern
preferred 4, and Wabash per cent lower than at
the close last night; st. Louis Kansss City and
Northern common being a per cent higher. Tho
Wisconsin stocks opened weak, because of unfavor-
able reports from the Northwest relative to tho
crops and the prices of the st. Paul and North
western shares fell about per cent, but on later
reports of clear weather there rally, which in
the OF ST. Paul common carried its price to 52l
052ls against 5O3I, its lowest figure. The North
westerns showed final losses of 70 per cent for
the common and a per cent for the pre-
feTed stock. 1t is beyond dispute that the
reports of the condition of the wheat crop in the
Northwest are very contradictory but little Iu-
yestgation shows that the different reports are
from different localities. To-day we saw n letter
from of the northwestern counties Of Iowa,
which said I " II may az well be conceded that the
wheat crop this vicinity Is total failure. Yes
terday IcomIncnced to plough under one field Of
100 acres of wheat rs there was no chance tor it,"
I
worthy source telegram read Little OF no
damage has been done to the crops"
The trunk line shares were dull, but Michigan
Central rose per cent and closed at 75l2. Lake
Shore 1uctuated Ii, and Erie only Is per cent.
Louisville and Nashville recovered TO Gl y, but
finally closed unchanged from last nights figures.
The investment shares were dull, but Rock Island
aud New-York Central were each i, and Chicago
and Alton ls per cent higher; Illinois
Central being %, and New-York Elevated
per cent lower. In the coal stocks, the
two Delawares IN final sales yielded each Il.
and Morris and Essex q per cent Central of New
Jersey making gain OF a pc: cent Western Union
was weaker, and declined IA per cent, Tecoyering
only /. per cent sales amounting to $500 shares.
Pacific steady at 5lsa 15I4, aud the expresses
were quiet Wells. Fargo u Co. selling ex dividend
at 6l.G96l2
In mining stocks the only feature was the decline
in the price of Consolidated Virginia to 43i,
port that the company had passed the dividend for
June.
Tie market closed dull and featureless.

Choice Sayings


BY Matthew Henry the Learned English Biblical
Commentator.
Divine vengeance comes with feet OF lead,
but it strikes with hands of iron.
Men may die like lambs, aud yet have
their places with the goats.
1t is common for those who are farthest
from God to boast themselves most of liv-
ing near the church.
Events are not determined by the wheel
of fortune, which is blind, but by the
wheels of Providence, which are full of
eyes.
1 reckon him a Christian, indeed, that ia
neither ashamed of the gospel nor shame
to it.
Nature is content with little, grace with
less, but lust with nothing.
Gods presence with a man in his house,
though it be but cottage, makes that
house both castle and a palace.
Length of days is VISIONS right hand
blessing, typical Of eternal life; but it is in
her left hand that are riches and honor.
1t is good to be early at our devOtions.
The morning is as good friend to the
gracos az it is to the masses.
We ought to know the scriptures as tLt
physician does his dispensatOry, the lawyer
his books of reports, and the sailor his
charts and compass.
Gods laws were never designed to be
like cobwebs, which catch the little flies,
but suffer the large ones to break through

The STATE.
Error TO the Circuit Court of Chickasaw
county, Hon. j. A. Greer, Judge
Plaintiffs in error were indicted under
the act of 1873 (session laws, p. 97) Tor
selling intoxicating liquors to one Muir
phree, who was charged to be in the habit
of getting intoxicated
The proof for the State showed shat
Murphree had, within two years drank IN
toxicating liquors at saloon in which the
defendants stayed; that sign of "Dahmar
Bros" was over the door, and that Muir
phree was in the habit of getting drunk
The defendants, for the purpose OF show
ing that John Dahmer was the sole owner
of the saloon, offered in evidence license
granted to John Dahmer for retailing III
the town in which the saloon was kept.
This was objected to by the State, and the
objection was sustained.
No other evidence was offered. The
Court charged the jury for the State that
the defendants were equally guilty whether
they sold or gave away liquor in violation
of the statute.
These two acts of the Court are assigned
as errors.
GEORGE, G. j,
| Held
l. The Court did not esr in excluding tn
license of John Dahmer, for it did not tenC
to rebut the proof introduced on the par
of the Slate, that the defendants were al
interested in the saloon and participated IL
the illegal sale to Murphree.
q By section of the act referred to
is declared that the ''giving away of intox
icatinp liquors shall be deeme'
and held to be all unlawful selling within
the provisions of the act.
Judgment affirmed.

THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF rELX LA'AtYE

m LIFE AED ADVENTURES OF FELIX LABAt
In France he was born in the army,
And subject its duty to do;
For freedom he fled to this country,
This Frenchman, old tellK LRoau''.
He landed in South Carolina
And then up TO manhood he grew
A wild. reckless, rattlebralncd devil
This Frenchman, old Felix Labaufe-
He ripped and he shined around Camden'
And mingled in politics too
A Democrat OF the first water,
This FTenchman, old Felix LahauVe'
They tell me that once he did falter,
In the contest eighteen thirty-two,
And sank under nullihCationi
This Frenchman, old Felix Lahauvc.
t;eoroe Foote says he then Acd the halter,
And old Chapman Levy too;
He fed TO this wild western country,
This Frcnchman, old Felix l.ahauve'
He came to the Chickasaw Nation,
With cglicoes, rcd white and blue
He sOld them, "but made poor fortune
This Frcnehnian, old Felix LabauSc.
He covered the Chief with red blankets,
And there in the twilight dew
He sduandCred his proceeds and profit
This Frenchman, old Felix Labauye.
His blankets, his beads and his money,
In every direction they flew,
And soon he was bankrupt and busted,
This Frenchman, old Felix Lahauve.
He sat twice in the State Legislature,
And ran q third time, as you knew
But now he's the Clerk OF DeS0to,
This Frenchman, old Felix Labauve-
They say he has slept in the garnet,
And down in the gutter also:
But now are his fortunes established
This Frenchman, old Felix Lahauve.
He has turned out TO I've a note shaver
He cuts all good paper in two;
Takes all when the surety Is doubtful
This Frenchman, old Felix labauye.
His head is as white as the cotton;
His coat is Unconstitutional aud blue;
He looks like a clOYer-fed pony
This Frenchman' Old Felix Labauve.
Old Felix has gone, yet we love him;
Ills heart once 80 fearless and true,
Lies cold as the marble above him,
This Frenehmsn, old Felix Labauye.

Error to the Circuit Court LIST District
Kinds county, Hon. $. S. Calhoon, Judge
B. T. IL c. A. Lyon were merchants and
partners in the city of jackson. Upon
their own petition they were adjudged bank
rupt. A temporary trustee, Styled pro-
visiona assignee was appointed to take
charge of the stock of goods until an as
signee could be chosen, with power to sell
for cash by retail. A meeting of creditors
for election of an assignee was held, and at
that meeting proposition was made to and
accepted ~ tie creditors, TO the effect that
G. A. Lyon, one of the bankrupts, should
pay the Register, for the creditors $1,000;
that the bankrupts should be discharged,
and all the assets of the firm should become
the property of C. A Lyon.
The proposition was presented to and
confirmed by the Court, the confirmation
! reciting that ga requisite number and value
of the creditors had consented in writing
to the proposition.
1t was further ordered and directed that
the Register should turn over and deliver
to G. A. Lyon the entire assets of the firm
''to be owned and controlled by him after
such delivery, as his own individual prop
erty." Ligon paid the s., 900 and took pos
session of the assets, among which was al
account against defendant in error, upor
which this suit was brought.
Suit was brought by plaintiff in error i'll

This was bill in chancery filed by appel
Ions Indictment creditors of tho Vicksburg
and Memphis Railroad Company, sueing
for themselves and all others-who might
ioin with them, alleging the insolvency OF
the corporation, and seeking to reach 'he
amount due by three stockholders Oh their
subscriptions to capital stock. Inc corpo'
tion and the three stockholders only were
made defendants upon an allegation that
they were the only solvent stockholders
within the jurisdiction.
The prayer was for an account anu 1or
an appropriation OF the amount due by the
stockholders to the judgment OF complain
ants, and of such others as might come H.
The answer disclosed the fact that there
were other solvent stockholders within the
jurisdiction, and that owing to an arrange
ment which had been perfected among inc
stockholders, ,someof those not joined hao'
as among themselves, become primarily
IiahIa in exoneration of the defendants
The case was submitted upon bill and

appealed,
