COURT DECISIONS.
synopsis of the Decisions of the Court Of
Appeals.

| Cole VS.. the State; from Kaufman county.
An affidavit which set out aggravated
assault" co nomine, and, further, the cir
cumstances which show an aggravated as
sault and battery, is sufficient to sustain an
information for aggravated assault and bat
terry. After the trial had progressed to
argument II was discovered that the infor-
nation had not been read, nor the defend
ant required 10 plead. Thereupon the court
ordered the affidavit read, entered the plea
Of not guilty and admitted the case to pro-
coed upon the evidence as at first given.
Held, error, and that the entire proceedings
should have been set aside and a trial de
noro ordered. Reversed and remanded.
Winkler, justice.
Jim Williams vs.. the State: from Robert
son county. An inspection by this court,
under its settled rule Of practice. of the
evidence for which the continuance YVES
asked, disclosing that 1t was neither mate
rial nor probably true, this court will not
reverse because, the court.below refused the
continuance. The law requires trial
Judges 10 charge the law applicable TO every
phase OF the case as made by the evidence
and no more. The charge asked IN TINS
case was not warranted by the evidence,
and was properly refused. Affirmed.

THE CONFEDERATE BONDS HuMnUa.

For month or more past n hue and cry
has been ringing oyer this country and
Europe about the bonds of the Confederate
States. 1t, is difficult to tell who has
been the most excited over them, the En-
glish, the Germans, or the Americans.
The price began at 81 thousand, and then
they ran up to SIS. They are now falling,
with more sellers than buyers. About
forty different reasons have been given for
this sudden demand for these dcfunct bonds.
The one the best stuck to is the Con-
federac, had $7,OOo,O 900 in gold in the Bank
of England when it, the Confederacv,
collapsed, and that principal and
interest now foot up thirty or forty mil
lions That story is getting thrcadbare, and
indeed being exploded by the Chancellor
of the bank himself, others are being put
up in its place. The last one we have no.
ticed reads as follows: at appears that the
Confederate bondholders in England con-
suited high legal authorities before adj
vancing their sovereigns upon Southern
cotton. The London World, speaking of
the matter, remarks. The money result
ing from the Confederate cotton loan was
not advanced because the people who took
the bonds had sympathy with the Southern
States, but because we needed
the cotton; and before making
the advance pains was taken
to ascertain from the highest legal authori-
ties that it was perfectly legal transaction,
and that there was nothing to prevent any
of our merchants from agreeing to it. The
cotton on which the loan was secured was
take by the United States, who therefore
remain subject to all the agreements made
in respect of it by the Confederates. There
is not much chance of this view being adj
mitted by the United States; but it is
vouched for by so high legal authority as
Lord Hatherly,.. 1T may be worthy of men,
ton" The whole truth about these bonds
is they were cancelled at Appomatox Court
House, as we'll as all other evidences of
debt and issues of.paper by the Coniederacy
We trust their Southern holders
have generally "unloaded' during
the late rise. And now for the money it
self. Can't some one get up furore over
that? People holding it had better lock it
up. There is no telling what may happen.
By the way, what did the Confederate gov
eminent send $15o,0OOOOO in gold to the
Sandwich Islands during the war and bury
it for?

WE are now reliably informed that the
work of pushing tunnel under the strait
of Dover to connect England and France is
quite well under way. OF the twenty miles
to be tunnelled one-tenth is already accom-
plished by channel way seven by nine
feet in size. The passage is through chalk
strata and is easily worked, so that about a
yard an hour can be accomplished. At this
rate in two years there will be an orifice un-
der the sea between England and the CONT
nent, and this can then easily be enlarged
and fitted with masonry so as to be per
mnnent drive or railway avenue.

WHILE Bismarck's popularity is waning
in Germany his great French antithesis,
Gambetta, is climbing the ladder Of power.
He is now premier and will bring his ner-
vous, restless temperament to bear more
strongly than ever upon the politics Of
France. But NJ Gambetta is Unfortunately
ambitious and his will may not be what it
ought. His policy is said to be: A reduc-
ton of the military service from five to
three years service; the fixing the standing
army at 100000 men and the formation of a
separate colonial army for service continu-
ously in Algeria and to be recruited from
voluntary enlistments from the regular
army

AK exchange very properly says that one
feature of the recent elections in Germany
Is especially interesting to Americans in
view of the agitation at present of the tariff
question. The decided expression of hos
tiity to Bsmarck's measures included hos
tility to the protective tariff system intro
duced by the Chancellor. The strongest
men in Germany, intellectually and COM
mercially, are opposed, it is said, to such q
system of robbery, and in fact these cleo
tons show this and propose that the fiscal
policy of the empire shall be based on cor
rect principles

Easy Hour, in recent issue says: "But
one of the most important Developments
concerning ST. JACOBS On is the discovery
that it has properties which are beneficial
to the animal as well as to the human
species. II has, Of late, been in active dc
mand among livery men and others for use
on horses suffering from sprains or abra-
sions. The most prominent instance known
of in this connection, is that related by Mr.
David Walton, well-known Friend, who
keeps livery stable at 1915 North Twelfth
street Mr.. Walton states that he was
boarding a valuable horse belonging to
Benjamin McClurg, also resident OF
North Twelfth street. A few weeks ago
the animal slipped and badly sprained his
leg, making him very lame. Mr.. Walton
used two bottles Of ST. JACOBS On on the
animal and found within less than ono
week, that there was no need for any more,
for the animal was as well as ever.

more wonderful a. geyser. Four or five
times every twenty four hours it discharges
a great column of water, freighted with
stones and obscured by dense volume of
steam. The hollow formation for hundreds
of yards around the orificc trembles under

height of hundred feet.

THE new British Minister, Mr.. Lionel
Sackville- West, who presented his creden-
tials formally to. Mr.. Arthur, day before
yesterday made speech which, aside. from
its court etiquette and sophomore sur
rounding, evidently portrayed.a strong feel
ing of admiration and sympathy on his
part at least for this country and faith in
its future of greatness. 1t was also suggcs-
tive ofdecided instructions, from the author
ity which he represented that such express
sions should be INDUCED. 1t was impossi-
bic, owing to the lateness of the hour at
which ihe report was received to give the
Presidents response, but in the course Of
his remarks he echoed the qualification Of
Mr.. West at the cordiality existing between
the two countries, hoped for its continu-
ance and said among other things: "The
American heart cannot readily forget how
the heart of your people throbbed with cur
own in the great grief of our late national
bereavement. Tho nation which you rep
resent and the one to which you are accred-
tied are bound together for all time by
stronger ties thar blood or speech. The
prosperity and progress Of both are,in-
timstely connected by common interest
in the course Of civilization and beg TO as
sure you, sir. that this government will in
all points and at all times use its best en-
deavor 10 promote and develop still more
the harmony and good will which now 20
marks the intercourse Of tho two nations"

4 GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.

Asifthrro we're not sufficient excitement
at the usual horse-rac1ethese meetings on
the turf nearly always close with grand
sicep!e chase. This kind Of race combines
all the excitement of the regular race, with
the super-added clement of danger which
seems to give further zcst to the sport.
Horses, and good ones at that, often receive
severe injuries, which render them practi-
call useless for long periods. At least
this was The state Of affairs until owners
and breeders Of fine stock began to freely
use ST. JACOBS OH, the Great German
Remedy for man and beast. This invalu-
able article to horsemen has so grown into
favor on account of its phenomenal efficacy
in diseases of domestic animals, especially
the horse, that it would be difficult indeed
10 discover horsemen unacquainted with
its magical potency. The Philadelphia
