The Law on the Subject


Mr.. Edstor A mares nest having lately
been discovered in sundry conveyances to
former Boards OF County School Commits
sioners OF Montgomery county, the follow
ing information Is furnished for the benefit
OF all concerned;
ut was early held that the misnomer OF a
corporation in grant, obligation or other
written contract does not prevent recovery
thereon either by or against the corporation
in its true name, provided its identity with
that intended by the parties TO the instru-
ment be averred in pleading, and apparent
in proc" IL Ames on Corporations,

though expressed to show that there is such
an artificial being, and to distinguish i from
all others, TIE body as aoett named, Though there
Is q 0artdtson On aoords and syttd0tes. The
name OF corporation frequently consists OF
several words, and an on.ass'on or alteration
Of some Of them Is not ndteriot."--1 Kyd, 227.
The Supreme Court OF New Hampshire say
that there is this difference between the al
teration OF letter or the transposition of a
word between naming natural person and
naming corporate body. ltmakes entirely
another name Of the person in one case, while
the name of corporation frequently con-
sists OF several descriptive words, and the
transposition OF them or an Interpolation
or omission 81 some Of them may make no
essential difference in their sense.-Sarrbird

For corporation to attempt to set aside

Mr.. Editor: 1t having come 10 my knowledge
that parties acting as Agents for the sale Of the
Osborne Binder have been industriously cir
culating throughout the county that persons
who purchased the Mccormick Bisdsr for the
harvest Of 1879 were, 'Oithom exception, dis-
satisfied, and would not keep the machines,
as the Agent for that machine, | feel it my
duty TO pronounce said statement false and
without shadow Of foundation, having been
made designedly to injure the machine.
In conclusion, will state that il they can
produce a single man who purchased Nc
Cormick Binder last year, whs would ex-
change for an Osborne, or sell his machine at
anything like cost, withou, the prospect of
getting another of the same kind, will hand

LIFE ON 4 CUBAN SUGAR PLANTATION

LIFE ON CUBAN SUGAR PLANTATION
We visited one the other day, writes cores
pondent, some ten miles from Havana, a
plantation Of nearly four thousand acres,
where there are no less than seven hundred
and twenty slaves and seventy slave children.
Men, women and children In rags, and their
nakedness not half covered at that, driven 10
gangs of forty or fifty. handling the sugar
cane, with an overseer 10 the centre carrying
heavy whip with long lash, driving these
creatures to their utmost efforts at the work,
and often plying the instrument Of torture
with crack upon the naked backs of those
who fall a step or two behind in their labor
from over exertion or other cause +; the backs
OF these slaves. even Of those not more than
twelve or fifteen years old, were more or less
SCARED and lacerated from whippings
In the great sugar mill a large number are
working under the lash, and working appar-
entity for dear life, in temperature as hot as
prevails before a pudding furnace; there
seems to be no cessation, no change of posi-
ton, no variety of toll to afford relief, but
constant and hurried work by these almost
naked and numerically driven men, women
. and children.

CLIMATE AND COMPLExHoN.-Ther 10 q
great diversity of opinion as to the reason Of
the difference of complexion to be observed
among mankind. Roughly speaking, the hue
of the skin varies with the latitude, the fairer
races having their homes at distance from
the equator the darker within or near the
tropics. This fact would seem to point to the
position of the sun with reference to those on
whom he shines as the cause. But the ques-
ton presents difficulties which this SUPPOSE
tion does not aid us TO solve. At the same
distance from the equator we find the fair
Englishman, the yellow Mongol and the cop
per.colored Indian. To the moth of the
white Russian and Finn live the swarthy Lapp
and Samoyed. North Of the Caucasus are
dark-skinned Tartars, south of 1t fair-com-
plexioned Cireassians. The aborigines of
America vary less in color than the natives of
the Old World. None of them are as fair as
the Swede, none as black as the Negro of
Congo, and those living in Brazil on the
equator are not the darkest. There are
blacker men in Australia and New Guinea
than in Borneo and Sumatra, though these
islands are on the equator and those are not.
The Shillooks of the Upper Nile, who live
about ten degrees north latitude, are blacker
than the Monbulto, who are six degrees far
Their south. Science Monthly.
