Marriage Among tho EsquimauE-

Marriage among the EsquimauE is
not the sacred institution Of civil .zation,
but exchanges are very common. If q
man who is going on a journey has
wife that is encountered with q child
that would make travelling unpleasant,
he exchanges wives with some friend
who remains IN camp and who has no
such inconvenience. Sometimes q man
will want n younger wife 70 travel with
and in that case effects an exchange,
and sometimes such exchanges are made
for no special reason, and among friends
it is a usual thing to exchange for q
week or two about every two months.
Unmarried men who are going on a
Journey have 10 difficulty in borrowing
a wife for the time being, and sometimes
purchases the better half altogether.

Appeal from the Chaneery Court of
Madison County, Hon. f.. G.. Peyton,

the execution: Levied on describing

At the July term, 1850, appellants, after
giving notice, made a motion against Priest
l.y and his sureties under Z 229, Code
1871. to recover the amount Of the execu-
tYH with damages interest and costs, aver
ing that the officers return on the execution
showed that he had voluntarily and with
out authority omitted to execute the same"
Before this motion was disposed Of the
sheriff moved the court for leave to strike
out the above return and to enter thereon a
RETURN showing that no personal property
could be found, and that the land of the
defendant was not levied on by direction OF
plaintiffs attorney
Afidavits were filed and read in support
81, and against this motion. Thereupon,
tie court sustained the motion to amend
tie return, and the motion Of appellants
against the sheriff and his sureties was over
ruled
Appellants excepted and appealed.

IrLi-
T. The original return was made after the
return term of the writ, when 1t possessed /
no vitality. Hence there il nothing in the /
idea that the return had, by the expiration |
of the term, became a Judicial record fixing
vested rights.
2 IL was settled in Tr0tter q. Parker, 80 .
Miss, lib, that the court might at the re-
turn term allow the officer to amend his re-
turn although a motion might be pending /
against him in relation 70 it. We now hold /
that such amendment may be allowed after /
the return term.
10 is always within the power Of the court
to permit ava officer, so long ~ he remains /
in office, to amend his return 50 as to show /
the facts Is they actually occurred provided /
no in terveniug rights have been acquired /
by others by virtue of the original return
or upon tbe faith Of the same.

erection OF the court, to be literally exercis- /
ed for the promotion OF justice.

Wife's Power.
A PERTINENT AND BRIEF SERMON OF
HOME INFLUENCE.

A good wife is to a man wisdom,
strength and courage; bad one is con-
fusion, weakness and despair, says an
English magazine. No condition IS
hopeless to man where the wife posses
ses frmness, decision and economy.
THERE'S no outward propriety which
can counterfeit Incidence, extravagances
and folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is strong,
but his heart is not adamant. He
needs tranquil mind, and especially If
he is an intelligent man, with "a whole
head, he needs its moral force in the
conflict of life. To recover his compos-
ure, home must be place of peace and
comfort There his soul renews Its
strength and goes forth with renewed
yigor to encounter the labor and
troubles of life. But If at home he finds
no rest, and there is met with bad tenn,
per, jealousy and gloom, or assalled
with complaints and censare, hope
vanishes, and he sinks into despair.

4 CLERGYMAN'S EXPERIENCE,

A country clergyman says, in the
Troy Times;
There are Il great many unwrltten
chapters of a clergymans life in the
country which would read like romance
to the uninitiated. There are chapters
Of hard facts as well as happy fancies.
In my first year in the ministry my
salary was Just $500, with which L
boarded myself and team, had the lung
fever, was married, paying the minister
S. fee-and so my deadheadism be-
gan NV first wedding at the parsonage
was a great event. 1t was on a cold
winter day The extra fire was made
in the parlor, and when the couple ar
rived | fed their horse with hay and
oats, the bride and groom ate heartily
of good steak dinner, obtained a GER
tifcate which cost 80 cents, and | re-
ceived 81 for the entire entertainment.
There are, Of course, profitable marriage
occasions-cases in the scorching sands
of ministerial pathways. | know of an
ex-Presiding Elder of the Troy Confer
ence who was called to officiate at a con-
templated wedding four miles from
Vermont village. A horse and buggy
were sent to take him to the place, and
on his arrival he found that a family
row had caused an indefinite postpone
ment of the wedding. He was not
even asked in, but was allowed to foot it
home in the mud without fee or thanks.
Funerals in the country call for great
grace on the part of the parson. | have
officiated at three funerals in one day in
families outside Of my own congregation
without thanks or fee. [ have even
paid livery hire, receiving nothing in
remuneration, to attend funerals. Still,
am called 'deadhead, because l
sometimes ride on railroads for halffare
when on ministerial duties. have
attended two pauper funerals in one
day, for which the town paid the over
seer for his time, the doctor for his
visits and medicine, the grave digger
and undertaken, but | received nothing
for my services. Then [ have attended
other funerals in all kinds of weather,
where interested parties, upon my tax
ing leave, have said, I'll see you again
some other day One man who prOmis-'
ed to see me some other day, saw me
sooner than he expected. At a camp
meeting a few months later he was con-
verted, and when | saw the the tears in
his eyes, | mentally prayed, Lord have
mercy on that mans soul When the
meeting closed he warmly grasped me
with his right hand and with his left
handed me s5-biIl, saying: Mr., L
feel as though | ought to pay you for
attending wife's funeral last June.
Well, for once | felt the Lord had
answered my prayer"

THE ladies of the New York Cooking
School Association, of which Mrs. r.
L. Stuart is President, have taken the
house No. 20S Seventeenth Street, and
propose to enlarge their field of opera
ton. A number of girls are to be taken
into the house, and regularly trained in
all branches of domestic service. The
only conditions of acceptance will be a
good moral character, vouched for by
their minister or the superintendent OF
the Sunday School which they attend,
and a willingness to bind themselves to
the service of the school for one year.
In addition to their training they are to
receive two suits of clothes, which they
will be taught to make, and one dollar a
week. Girls who acquire the necessary
training in less than year will be pro-
vided with places in families, their
wages, however, going to the Associa-

Error to the Circuit Court Of Neshoba
County. Hon. A. c. Mayors, Judge.
Ia 1869 Turner and wife sold McAdory
certain lands aud warranted the title part
of the purchase money remaining unpaid.
In 1874 one Wilson recovered the land in
cjectment under paramount title. Nc
Adory bought in this title for 100000, one
third being paid in cash, and for the balance
he executed two notes, due respectively,
Nov /. 1878. and Nov |, 1876. On the
I2th of March 1877, Turner and wife re-
covered Judgment against NcAdory for the
purchase money of the land, S4S5,00. In
1878 Wilson recovered judgment against
McAdory ON the two notes he had given,
amounting with interest, to $4,000.
In 1880 McAdory filed in the circuit
court petition under oath, reciting the
above facts also that Turner and wife were
iusolyeut that they were seeking to collect
their judgment; that said judgment had
been paid TO the extent of the amount he
had paid Wilson for the paramount title,
and a supersedeas of the Turner judgment
was obtained. The prayer of the petition
was that the judgment of Turner and wife
should be cancelled to the amount of the
$500 and interest. Turner and wife were
summoned, but they failed to appear, and
Judgment by default was entered on the
petition, aud their Judgment was ordered to
be cancelled as asked.
Turner and wife prosecuted writ of
error, and assigned for error:
l. That the Circuit Court had no juris-
dictiou to cancel the judgment
, That their Judgment, obtained in 1877,
adiudicated all the matters of controversy
between the parties.
The opinion, being short is given in full
CAMPBELL. j.
BY his purchase of the outstanding para
mount title, McAdory became entitled to
maintain an action against his warrantor of
the title for money paid to his use, but the
Circuit Court did not have the right to order
the Judgment in favor of the warrantor
against NcAdory to be credited by the
amount due To the latter by the former.
Courts OF law have gone to the extent of
ordering mutual judgments between parties
10 De set, one against the other, as an incl
dent to the administration of justics between
lltigants. but there is no precedent for a
court of law in a system where the admin
1stration otJustiCe Is divided between courts
of chancery and courts of law, to order an
anadJHdicatef demand in favor of the de
'endant In q Judgment to be credited as a
payment Of the judgment
On this ground We reverse the judgment,
and dismiss the motion of McAdory, and
discharge the suparsedeas of the judgment
against him.

A Gold Hunting Case American Watch
Stolen.

A Gold Hunting Case American Watch
Stolen.
Last evening, about 6 o'clock, an
American lever watch, with gold hunting
case was stolen from the showcase in the
store of A. Hirsh, North Queen street,
near Centre square. Mr.. Hirsh was absent
at the time and none of his statesmen were
present except his son Harry. lie was
sitting at desk in the back part Of the
store writing, and no one entered the store
except Geo. Andrews, Mr.. Hirsh's colOred
cOachman, who came to the front door
and leaned upon the showcase. Nothing
was thought of this at the time, but soon
after he left Mr.. Hirsh returned, found
the door Of the showcase unlocked and
the watch missing. Suspicion was at
once directed to Andrews, and warrant
was issued for his arrest. He was arrested
this morning and locked up for hearing.
Officer Fulmer took out search warrant
and searched the premises Of Andrews's
boarding house Oh Low street, but the
missing watch was not found. Mr.. Hirsh's
stable was also unsuccessfully searched.
Some time ago Mr.. Hirsh had bride
stolen from him, which it was afterwards
ascertaincd had been taken by Andrews
and sold to Mr.. Nash, colored carter.
When the theft was discovered Mr.. Hirsh
intended to discharge Andrews, but was
prevailed upon to keep him for week or
two longer to enable him to earn money
enough to take him out Of town. It is
he stole the watch to raise addi-
tiOnal funds.
