Error to the circuit court of Har.

judge.
Detendlnt in error recovered
Judgment in the court below.
The points decided, sufficiently
Indicate the facts of the case and
the questions raised.
l. 1t was error TO strike out the
plea of non est factum because the
samo was verified by the oath OF
the defendants attorney. Section
6S7 OF the Code declares that in all
eases where an oath or affirmation
of IA party is required, such oath or
affirmation may be made by his at
torney. This applies to pleas of
non est .tdct,on, however improper
it may be that such aflidavits
should be made by attorneys, where
no exceptional circumstances re-
quirirg it are shown.
2. The court did not err in failing
to give Judgment final for defend
ants on sustaining the demurrer to
plaintiffs replications, the ground
of demurrer being that the replica.
tions concluded with verifications
instead of to the country. MctcdD
rs. Grore, 90 Miss, 147.
This was ground only of special
demurrer and such demurrers are
abolished. Acts 1873, p. 100.
3. There was no error in striking
out the bill filed Tor a discovery. Ii
was filed without leave, was vague,
and gave no sufficient reason for
the delay since the inception OF the
litigation in bringing forward the
defense.
4. 1t was erroneous to render
Judgment nil dieit upon the amend.
cd declaration, because no new
pleas ihad been filed to it. Two of
the pleas to the former declaration,
nno dssumpsit and payment, stood
after the demurrer had been sus.
tanned to some of the pleas. These
were applicable to the new declara
ton, and it was not necessary to
file them afresh. 1t is only neces-
sary to file new pleas where the
amended declaration makes u sub
stantial change in the action.

Chicago Times.
Col. q. Il. Bowman, commission.
er of agriculture of the State OF
Kentucky, tells this unwritten
story concerning the man on horse
back: At the time Of Van Dorn's
raid on Holly Springs, Grant had
his headquarters in the house OF a
relation OF tho ColonePs, a Mr..
Ueber Graft, now living in McOomb
City, Miss. Ono day at the dinner
table a remark was made concern
ing the permanent occupancy OF
the town 10y the Federals, when
Mrs. Graft, in u woman's character.
istic earnestness, said: "D0n't be
100 sure of that. Our boys will
be along shortly, and then we will
see about the permanent occupan-
cy." She had 10 knowledge of
Van Dorms intended raid, but
made the remark in q bantering
style only. Great was her surprise
to hear, in less than fifteen minutes
atterward, that the rebels were in
town and the man on horseback, in
his haste to elude them and get
away on the train left bis uniform
and sword at Mrs. Crafts house.
The train was barely out of sight,
baying on board Grant and his
staff, when Van Dorn rode up to
Mrs. Gratis house in the hope of
bagging the Federal commander
and the whole party. lie found
Mrs. Grant. but not the General.
Mrs. Craft, who WAS rot only true
Southern woman, but a true, high
minded lady, hid the Generals
sword and uniform, for fear their
capture, after what she said at the
the dinner table, would make Grant
suspect she had violated the rules
of hospitality in attempting to be-
tray him to Van Dorm. She said
that Grant, on his return to Holly
Springs, was surprised and greatly
rejoiced to find lis ti'appings safe,
but he nor the cbronlcler OF that
raid knew why they were not cap
tured.

IN MEMORY.
BY MISS JOHNNIE HUNT.

Poem read at the nnveiling of the mon
ment erected at Holly Springs, to the Mis-.
sissippi editors who died during the yellos y
fever epidemic of ls7s.
In the flush Of this Jnne-lighted weather
An arch without cloud overhead,
We are gathered in sadness together
dwelling a shaft to our dead.
As fair as their records of glory
Ii stainless stands under the sky,
A beautiful, white sculptured story
OF deeds that we cannot let die.
No need of the verse eulogistic,
On the banners of life they have furled ;
Though thepale brotherhood OF the mystic,
Have received them from out of our world.
In their strength of courageous endeayor
In the heighth of their heroic worth
They have gathered green garlands for
ever
Aud crowned themselves even ON earth.
The scene OF their drama has shifted,
They have slipped from our presence
away;
With the veil OF hnmany lifted
They stand in the light of the day.
like the gloom that a star has lorsaken
When high In the heavens il starts,
So the shadow ot time they have shaken,
Away from their souls TO our hearts.
Oh Ye, whom we miss from our members.
Who have passed from the realm oi our
years,
Can the voice Of our grief pierce your
slumbers,
DO ye thnll al the sight of our tears
Are old ties replaced now by otheIsp
So completely that we are forgot ,
Have ye passed to such peace oh our
brothers
That all earth is as If il were not
Is the robe of Gods life of such texture
No carth-threads can wander across !
This living that pleased, panied and vexed
you,
Is il all irrotrievable loss
Or, across the dim, sbadowy portal,
Where each will be called in his hour,
In the heart OF the mighty Immortal
Does our memory bloom like flower
oh give us your blessing our brothers
In spiritual union to-day;
Spill the wine Of your pure love for others,
Down into our chaice of clay
The coal of your lives immolation
Lies lit on the alter OF years,
Aud we pour out our sacred oblation
Of reverence, and honor, and tears.
Yc have known the religion of giving
Free succor to brothers in need,
Ye have shown TO the dying and living
love all regar,llesso of creed.
The bread of supreme sell-denying
Ye brcke-and the breaking sufliecd
To teach to the living aud dying
The simple religion of Christ.
Life is au eternal type-sctter,
This world is wonderful Press,
Each day is q mystical letter
That stands for defeat or success.
Aud God is the mighty proof-readcr
Who takes the damp sheet in his hand
What has passed into print--from the
"lcader'
To the trilngcst " local must stand.
The sheets of s.ur lives, beloved brothers,
Have dropped at the Prcof-reader's feet
Arc numbered with millions of others
Whose journals of Time are complete.
We trust aud believe that all errors
Were surely set right in the end,
Since death to man has few tcrrors
Who hath laid down his life Tor his
friend.
