franchlse to the Brooklyn Elevated and Atlantic
Beach Railroad Company was received. The Mayor
powers in these resolutions, the action being
premature. inasmuch the charter provides

pers The Mayor expressed his Willingness to APP
prove of any suitable route, provided suitable ana
ample remuneration is made to the property -OwDers
damaged aud suitable sum is paid to the city for

aye from the road is not sufficient and that the
sum to be realized to the city would not be more
than SO. 900 year for the first ten years.

A Group of Orphans.

There arrived i'm Jackson yesterday
from Holly Springs, a group of five
little orphans, two little boys and
three little girls, the youngest only
four years old, travelling all alone, all
the way to Montgomery, Alabama
they were the observed of all Obser-
vers upon the train. Conductor Bob.
Fuqna being specially kind and liber-
al to them, and upon inquiry it was
asceTtained that they were the chill
dren of Dick Lewis, who was waylaid
and killed by one Sumlin, at Cau-
thOn's Mill, Marshall county, some
five months ago. BY some disagree
ment their father separated from his
wife three years ago, taking the chill
dren away with him, the wife remain
ing with her mother i'm Montgomery
the sudden taking off Of the life of the
father now restores the innocent little
waits to their mother-their natural
protector. We can imagine how hap
nv will be that mother when she is
again the pOssessOr Of her little chill
dren. May God care for and protect
them TO the end Of their journey.

Error to the Circuit Court of Marshall
county, Hon. j. W. G. Watson. Judge.
This is a suit upon bond which was
given to enjoin a sale under deed of trust.
The bond was improperly conditioned to
pay the debt, when the law requires bond
conditioned only for damages and costs.
Manning ~ Watson. for plaintiff in error.
Feathcrst0n IL Harris, for defendant in
error.
CAMPBELL, J,
HI1-
|. The bond sued on in this action is not
void because the condition is broader than
the statute required, but no recovery can
be had on it for an alleged breach of such
part of the condition AS Is not provided for
by the statute, Code Sl045.
=. The breaches of the condition of the
bond assigned in the declaration are found
ed on that part of the condition not requir-
ed or authorized by law.
3. A bond given in Il legal proceeding,
Which is conditioned for more than the law
provides, is good to the extent that the con-
dition is according to law, and is not vita
ted by the excess, but that no recovery
thereon can be had beyond what could have
been recovered if the bond confOrrned to
law.
4. TO the extent that the bond was con-
ditiOned to pay the debt secured by the
deed Of trust, the execution of which was
enioined, it was beyond the requirement of
the law, and it would be monstrous to hold
that because of the mistake in the bond a
Il recovery on it could be had for what, if
the bond had been according to law, could
not be recovered.
Judgment affirmed.

The Chapter of the Revised Code in
relation to registration of voters, was
up in the House Wednesday for con-
sideration, and it created a slight
breeze. That provision which requires
all voters, who shall desire to register,
after the Code goes into effect, to pay
20 cents for this privilege, was stoutly
opposed by several members, among
whom was Mr.. Carroll, of Oktibbeha,
who offered a resolution to amend the
chapter by striking out that clause.
This provision will likely be stricken
out before the Chapter gets through
the Senate.

When the kiss of peace,
Was Civ by the Deacon
To old Annabcl Fleece.
And nought would hev been said
On the same subject head,
Were it not
That the old deacon's daughter,
Who had gone to get water,
Out to the well,
Saw the transaction,
Which she hadn't oughter;
And said "I'm going tell"
She told, dern her,
And the story increases
And more fuss is made
Bout that kiss of peace,
Which the old deacon Civ
To Annabel Fleece;
An which she took, dcrn her
(Whereby the romance increases,)
Than if deacOn's old bull,
Had come on head full,
And busted old Annabel
All into pieces.
