treasury. and consequently the State has
NOT been pecuniarily enriched by rae blun'
dor committed by him and her officer The
script surrendered imposed no moneyed OBJ
| LEGATION on tho State, nor had she ever
bound herself to redeem it in money.
3. If plaintiff had paid money into the
State treasury, or had surrendered inc
States obligation for money, he would DO
equitably entitled to recover back the money
paid, or the money value OF the paper sur
rendered, but the State has received no
money from him and never proposed under
any circumstances to impose pecuniary
obligation on herself in the issuance of the
script. She had given tho script to- the
county, and authorized the latter to sell for
its own benefit. Her obligation was to re.
deem ii in land whom properly presented
and located.
4. To hold that the State Is liable for the
money value of the script, would DO to allow
plaintiff and the Secretary Of State, by an
unauthorized and illegal act, to change the
States liability, and impose upon her an
obligation which she never had the least IN
tention of assuming.
s. The plaintiff may have the right to
demand the land, but certainly none to call
on the State for money which she has never
received. He paid his money into the
county treasury to give 1t back to him
out of the State treasury would be an act
of injustice to the taxpayers of the State
at large.
G. The utmost extent of plaintiffs rights,
legal or equitable, must be to demand the
return and rehabilitation of his improperly
cancelled script, or the issuance OF dupli-
cate If that which was surrendered has
now become barred by its own Limitation,
and there be no law for the issuance OF
duplicate, he must apply to the Legislature
for the relief indicated. Every principle
of Justice would suggest that it be granted.
Judgment affirmed.

CURIOUS RESEARCHES.
Sending Northern Animals 10 Havana
for Yellow Fever Experiments.
pnllalelphia telegraph,

The various problems connected with
the yellow fever are now undergoing
investigation by the National Quaran-
tine Commission of the Board OF Health.
Drs. Chailie and Sternberg have gone
to Havana, the home of yellow fever,
and there they propose to establish a
complete physiological laboratory, IN
which their Investigations of yellow
fever can be conducted. They wrote
to Prof. Austin Flint, Jr., of Belle
vue Medical College, asking his advice
in regard to the animals necessary for
their laboratory experiments. Profess
sor Flint referred them to his assistant,
Professor Charles L. Roberts, nj. D.,
who is in charge of the extensive ply
Biological laboratory of Bellevue Medl-
cal College, and he has prepared the
outfit of animals which is to be sent to
Havana to-day on the steamer Niagara.
Professor Roberts is also one OF the
sanitary inspectors of New York, and
he has had a great deal of experience
in that work. He was regarded as Pc
culiarly fitted to render the commission
effective assistance in its work, and ne
has accepted the position of agent IN
in this city of the National Board OF
Health.
Professor Roberts was asked yester-
day afternoon concerning the strange
work in which he was said to have been
engaged. Drs. Chaillie and Sternberg,
he said, have been been sent to Havana
to make as thorough and searching an
investigation of yellow fever in its ma
tive land as is possible. They have
erected physiological laboratory there.
In this their experiments will be con-
Quoted, and full reports are to be made
from time to time to the National Board
of Health One of the points they
wish to test first is whether u newly-ar-
rived person is more apt to contract
yellow fever than one who has lived IN
the country for some time. That is one
reason why they wished to have the
animals they are to use in their expert
ments sent to them from northern
port. Again, they desire to see Wheth-
CT white animal is more susceptible
than black one. On this account, all
the animals shipped are as near to white
us COIIlA NC p1OCulCu' AASJ ".AA w
exposed to the contagion by being
placed in rooms where yellow fever has
been and where it is at that time pres.
ent. The various fluids of the body OF
person having yellow fever, and es-
pecially the black vomit, will be intro
duced under the skin of the healthy
animals, and the effects carefully watch
cd and noted. The experiments with the
perspiration are especially expected to
yield important results. The tempera,
ture of the animals is to be kept, and
all the most recent dircoverios III
science are to be applied to effect
solution of the problem. The list OF
animals embraces six white rabbits, six
white Guinea pigs, four dogs, two
house cats, pair of fowls, four Leg
horn chickens and two South American
monkeys-one known as the midnight
monkey. The animals have all boon
carefully housed, and every effort is
to be taken to secure their safe arrival
in Havana.

Ehc Young Princes Prayer.

Tho following is q translation OF a
prayer found among the papers in the
late Prince Impcrial's desk. It was in
his handwriting and is believed to be
of his own compositions:
My God [ give TO thee my, heart, but
give to mo faith Without faith there
is no strong prayer, and to pray is a
longing OF my soul. l pray. not that
Thou shouldst take away obstacles on
my path, but that Thou mayest permit
mo to overcome Them I pray, not
that Thou shouldst aid Inc to conquer
myself. Hear, 0 God my prayer.
Preserve to my affection those who are
dear to me- Grant them happy days.
If Thou only giYest on earth a certain
sum of JOY, take, 0 God my share and
bestow it on the most worthy, and may
the most worthy be my friends, II
Thou seekest vengeance upon man,
strike me. Misfortune is converted into
happiness by the sweet thought that
those whom we love are happy. Hap
pincss is poisoned by the bitter thought;
while l rejoice, those whom [ love a
thousand times better than Inyfelf are
suffering. For lie, o God no more
happiness. Take it from my path. ]
can only find JOY i'll forgetting fhe past.
If I forget those who are no more /
shall be forgotten in my turn; and how
sad the thought which makes one say
Time eflaces air. The only satisfac-
ton l seek is that which lasts forever,
that which is given by tranquil con
science. o, my God, show me ever
where my duty lies, and give me
strength to accomplish it always. Ar
rived at the term Of my life 1 shall turn
my looks fearlcssly to the past. Re
membrance viii not be for he a long
remorse. Then l shall be happy
Grant o Goa, that my heart may be
penetrated with the conviction that
those whom love aud who are dead
shall sec all my actions. Ny life shall
be worthy Of their witness and my in
nermost thought shall never make them
blush.

MRS. DoRsEY's WILL, LEAVING HIM HER
PROPERTY, TO BE CONTESTED.
snooinl to tho PhiIndelphia Times


New York, July 16.--Colonel s. P. Ellis
of 1858 Lafayette avenue Brooklyn, the
only surviving brother of Mrs. Sarah A
Dorsey, the novelist, who died in BeauviOr,
Mississippi, July 18th, leaving her entire es-
tate, worth about $500 to Jefferson
Davis, contemplates contest of the will,
Tue natural heirs of Mrs. Dorsey, besides
Colonel Ellis, are her sister, Mrs Drue2
Peckham, living in Louisiana; the son of
her brother Thomas, who was killed in the
Confederate service, and two step brothers,
the sons of Gen. Chas. Dahlgren, of Brook
Ign, who married her mother after her
fathers death. Mrs Dorsey was an enthu-
siastic admirer of JEFF. Davis, and she
chung tenaciously to the Lost Cause" She
visited Colonel Ellis in Brooklyn two years
ago and told him that she thought Davis
had been shamefully neglected by the South,
which owed 50 much to him. Col. Ellis
says he did not imagine that his sister
thought of undertaking to pay this sup
posed debt herself. Mr.. Dorsey at his
death in 1875, left his large property to his
wife as he was childless, and bade her di-
vide it among her heirs. Mr.. Davis has,
since his return from Europe, resided in
Mrs. Dorsey's home, Beauvior, where he is
writing his history of the rebellion. Col.
Ellis doesnot wish to say that Mr.. Davis used
undue influence, but his family strongly
suspect that undue infuenc was used.
Col, Els says he can give no definite in
formation as to the contemplated contest of
the will, because he wished first to consult
the other heirs. No notice of the probate of
the will has been sent to either Col Ellis or
Gen. Dahlgren.

Error to the Circuit Court of Clarke
county, Hon. j. s. Hnmm, Judge.
Plaintiff in error was indicted, tried and
convicted of assault with intent to kill ono
Henderson. The only question decided
in the case is on the 9th instruction given
for the State, as follows
''The jury are the sole judges of the
evidence and Of the credibility of the wit
nesses, and if they believe that, from any
feeling of dislike towards Henderson, the
witness Bowling testified falsely, they
may disregard his evidence altogether"
CAMPBELL, j.,
| HeM-
/. Alfred Bowling was the most impor-
tant witness for the plaintiff in error. His
testimony, If true, entitled the plaintiff in
error to verdict.
2. Plaintiff in error was entitled to the
benefit of tho favorable testimony of the
witness Bowling, without any intimation
from the Court directed against his credi>
bility, and calculated to impair it.
3. 1t was not proper for the court to sins
gle out this witness by name and tell the
jury that, if they believed that he had tes-
tilted falsely "from any feeling of dislike
towards Henderson" they might disregard
his evidence altogether. 1t was proper to
tell the jury that it was the judge of the
credibility of witnesses, but it was not
proper to draw special attention to the most
important witness for the prisoner and sug-
gest, as ground for disregarding hin testi-
mony, state of his feelings towards Hen
derson which he had denied, and of the ex-
istence of which there is no evidence.
4. An instruction which embodies a hyu
pothesis to sustain which there Is no evil
dence, should never be given.
8. Whether Bowling was to be believed,
was for the jury to determine, without any
suggestion or intimation or assumption in
the shape of hypothesis, particularly ap
piled to him by name, in an instruction
from tho court

Judge.
Plaintiff in error was the holder of cer-
tain land script which by law he had the
right to locate at any time previous to Octo
Der 1853, on any unoccupied swamp or over
flowed land in the county of Tunica, from
the Board of Police of which county he
had purchased it, though the land belonged
to the State and the patent was to be issued
by her officers He elected to locate it up
on land lying in Attala county, and both
he and the Secretary of State, supposing
that he had right to do SO, the Bcript was
surrendered to that officer, and by him
marked Cancelled and patent delivered for
the land selected in Attala county. This
location and patent were by this Court de-
clared void, becaue the plaintiff had no
right to locate Tunica county script on
Attala county land.-Jackson vs. Dilworth,

Error to the Circuit Court Of Lee county,
Hon. j. A. Green, Judge.
Defendant in error executed to plaintiff
in error his own bill single, or writing OBJ
ligatory, in liquidation and satisfaction OF
bond and promissory note of his de-
ceased father, held by plaintiff In error.
When sued, he defended upon the ground
that his obligation was without considera'
ton, and the learned Judge below instruct
ed the jury that unless there was some new
consideration moving between defendant
in error and plaintiff, the contract was void
CHALMERS, j.,
Held
/, The instruction of the Circuit Court,
was erroneous. The extirguishment OF the
debt of his father was sufficient considera-
ton to support his own contract, if there
was valid and subsisting indebtedness due
from his fathers estate.
2. Whether there was such subsisting in
debtedness from the fathers estate depends
in this case, upon whether the old debts
were barred by the statute of limitations,
and this depends, 30 far as this record shows
upon whether they became barred during
the fathers lifetime. Reversed and re-
