Interesting Railroad Case.

Daring the recent session Of the United
States Court at Oxford. an interesting case
involving the validity of $4,000 of bond.
in principal and 5000 coupons, Smith
against Carroll county, was argued at great
length on demurrer by Charles b. Howry
for the plaintiff and II. A. Barr for the de-.
fendant The Oxford Eagle saws in its re.
part that the bonds were Issued as part Of
subscription of Carroll county in aid of the
Greenville, Columbus and Birmingham
Railroad Company. The defendant pleaded
that the bonds were illegally issued; that
two-thirds of the voters, as required by the
laws Of Mississippi, had not voted in favor
of the subscription to the railroad: that the
taxpayers had eujoiued the issuance of the
bonds, which injunction was atterward made
perpetual by the Supreme Court Of Missis-
sippi, but that in the face of the Injunction
the board had fraudulently put the bonds
on the maaket, The plaintiff demurred to
the pleas and contended that he was the in
nocent holder for value, and that the inno-
cent holder for value, and that as the coun.
ty was estopped from pleading the illegality
of their own agents, after issuing the bonds,
which should be treated like commercial
paper. The law was decided for plaintiff
and Judgment entered in his behalf, The
case will 90 to the Supreme Court of the
United States on appeal.

A Deceitful Bride of Seventy-five.

From the London Telegraph, Dec. IL
A sprightly young Benedict of so,
who, only four weeks before he poured
out the tale of his wrongs into the UNI
sympathetic ear of a Russian police
magistrate, had welded a blushing
bride of rs, appeared the other day in
one of the Odessa District Courts and
passionately invoked the Intervention
Of the Cars justice in his domestic
affairs, in order that peace, harmony
and order might be restored to his dis
tracted household. His plant against
his youthful spouse contained several
counts, one more grievous than the
other She would-giddy thing-run
about the streets all day, neglectlng her
family duties. Her companion in these
frivolous excursions was a daughter, of
whose existence no intimation had been
conveyed to him during the happy pre-
nuptal days of his courtship and en-
gagement. This daughter had been
abruptly disclosed to him shortly after
his marriage, and had caused him to in
fer that, when he thought he was taxi
ing to his arms virgin septuagenarian,
he had labored under an error brought
about by willful deception. His wife,
moreover, had refused to hand over to
him the sum of 400 rubles, which on
the eve of their wedding-day she had
bound herself by solemn abjurations to
contribute next morning to the family
exchequer. Nor could he induce her,
by entreaty, menace, or endearment, to
repay him a trihing loan of 40 rubles,
imprudently advanced to her for the
purchase of trousseau. His griefs, in
short, were more than he could bear,
despite the buoyancy of his youthful
spirits; and, accordingly, he besought
the police authorities either 10 reduce
his volatile moiety to order by severe
disciplinary treatment, or to pronounce
some merciful degree by which he
should be ridded of her altogether Il
is painful to reflect that the hard-heart
ed magistrate-probably bachelor
contemptuously rejected his piteous ap
peal, with the contumetious remark
that "there is no fool like an old fool !

WISE WORDS.

A soul immortal, spending all her fires
Wasting her strength in strenuous idleness,
Throwing into tumult rapturcd, or alarmed,
At aught this scene can threaten or indulge
Resembles ocean INFO tempest wrought
To watt feather or to drown fly.
Feelings come and go like light troops
following the victory Of the present !;
but principles, like troops of the line,
are undisturbed and stand fast.

therefore, guard accordingly, and take
care that you entertain no notions un-

1t is not much thought of, but it is
certainly very important lesson, to

able to relish your being, without the
transport of some passion, or the graf

Rev. Charles Brooks, father Of the
State normal schools in America, was

ly; third, to reckon mathematical. y;
fourth, to converse Auently; and fifth,
to write dramatically. fyou success
fully teach them these five things; you
will nobly have done your duty to your
pupils, to their parents, to your coun-
try, and to yourself"

so patient and persevering in his call

about his character. He is generally
hospitable. Eat and drink with him,

will you are welcome. He will do
you Kindness without expecting a re-
turn by way of compensation it is not

honest and sincere, less disposed to deal
in low and undetermined cunning, than
many could name. He gives to socie-

He is the lord of nature. Look at him

which would be fatal to his cordial and

return to the White House a return of their

other and larger class includes the army Of

The Colored Exodus in Jasper and
Clarke,-Eight Hundred on Their
Way to Kansas.
Meridian Mercury

Merldlan Mercury
We learn that about 800 negroes in Jasper
and Clark, have sold what little property
they owned and are ready to start to the
promised land in Kansas They were in
duced to do this by the false representations
of white man named Pierce, who advertis-
ed that he would take them to Kansas for
81 so EACH What induced Pierce to pub
lish such an utterly false statement, we are
not informed. Whether he intended it as a
hoax, or fraud on the credulous negroes,
the result has been that he was believed,
and about 800 negroes, principally from the
eastern part of Jasper and the Western part
of Clark, supposing a few dollars each was
all that was needed to carry them to Kansas,
gave up their homes sold what little they
had, and are now ready and determined, il
possible, to find homes in the West. We
learn they sold their effects at ruinous
sacrifice. Horses and mules were sold for
ten or twelve dollars, cows and calves for
four or five dollars, and other property for
similar prices Pierce having failed to
carry out his promise, they are determined
to go anyhow, and they employed Mr.. J. d.
McKinnon, of Jasper county, to come to
MeTluldn anu see Nldt arrangements nc
could make with the railroads here tor trans
portation. Mr.. McKinnon succeeded in
making contract with the Mobile and Ohio
r. r., to take them from here to St. Louis
for $40 60 each, and on Saturday returned
to see how many will be able to pay that
amount. He thinks that out of the 800
perhaps 700 will be able to raise the money,
and that in a few days all that can do SO
will come here to take the cars.

A Famous Female Surgeon.
MARVELLOUS SUCCESS OF SONORA DIAL
GIN IN THE PRACTICE OF SURGERY.

GIN IN TIE PRACTICE OF SURGERY.
Signora BAL Gin was born In northern Italy
in 1919. Her mother was bone setter of
some repute among the peasantry, and early
gave her daughter instruction In her art.
From the fact that when years old she vet
her mothers broken leg properly, and also
performed many other operations successful
ly, under her mothers direction, we may
conclude that she was an apt pupil Not
long after this she was admitted to study in
the hospital ut AnzanQ, and there she ac-
quired the wonderful deicacy of touch which
she possesses. Continuing 10 practice, IL
was not long before she reused the ire of the
doctors by saving leg which they said
should be amputated, and was brought into
court charged with not having a license.
She made her own defence, and the man
whose limb had been saved appeared as her
advocate. She was pardoned, but was or
dered not 10 practice more. She then turn
ed her attention TO replacing dislocated thigh
bones one of the most difficult and painful
operations in surgery said by Nelaton TO

culties after a lapse of more than forty days.

ly successful in whatever she undertakes,
but, unfortunately, she is Obliged to turn
many applicants away-particularly when
tendons have been cut or surgical operations
performed. In all cases her verdict IL
rendered Immediately after examination,
which is free. As an example of her skill,
we may cite the fact that in Trieste she
performed, few years since, 400 operations
successfully IN 20 days, many of them in the
presence of physicians whose confidence and
good will she has gained, as indicated by the
diploma which she now holds from the

But on the other hand, there is no adj

from the Toledo Blade
Sugar, syrup, fresh cheese, wheaton
grits, hominy, juicy meats, are the foods
to make flesh. Almost any woman will
get plump on brown bread and wheaton
grits, or oatmeal twice day, with
meat and vegetables in plenty at break
fast and dinner, and u supper of brown
biscuit with sweetmeats, cheese and
cream, or coffee drank with plenty of
sugar and milk. 1t is not necessary to
eat largely if the appetite does not call
for it, but the food must be tempting,
and if hunger is keen, one who would
be plump and spirited must not be
afaid to indulge it. Unrolishing dis
tasteful food, though it may be cOnsid-
cred healthy, will not nourish and slim
