VOLUME Xiv.

/ from Locke & Smith, which was given.
The property was sold by the sheriff and
the proceeds applied to the payment Of the
rent. The plaintiff in error, the wife of said
tenant, brought this action on the indemnl-
flying bond claiming that she was the owner
OF the property thus seized and sold, and
seeking a recovery of its value A demur~
rer sustained to the declaration, and
We think properly.
At common law all personal property
found on the demised premises was liable t.
be distrained for the rent. This rule has
been changed by 1871 of the Code of
1871, TCode of 1880, 1917, but in ex-
empting the property Of others who are not
liable for rent, which Is found on the de-
missed premises, the statute expressly pro-
vdes that the owner Of such property shall
not have the benefit of this exemption unless
he will repeyy the P roperty as provided
for in this section.
We have heretofore held that such owner
ha+ no other remedy than replevin. Kan
dricE V. Watson, II Miss, r., 49,. The
sheriff, therefore, had no right to demand
the indemnifying bond, and it was volunta>
~ and void.
To allow the alleged owner to recover in
this action would be to give a remedy
which Is expressly denied by the statute.
The policy of the statute i to exempt
property of Others found on the demised
premises from seizure and sale for the rent
and, at the same time, to require the owner
to interpose his claim before sale, 50 that
the landlord might have the opportunity Of
Selling other property for his rent.
Judgment affirmed.

The Man Who Boasts.

/ The man who boasts Is twin born tn
"A liar, for neither of them can tell the
truth except by accident, and vet IL
must be very comfortable to feel that
what you do is always the very best
thing that can be done by amy one. and
that you know just little more than
any living man. We are acquainted
with a tender-hearted gentleman whose
experiences are always exceptional, and
who has seen thousand things which
no mortal eye save his own ever looked
upon. When he went up the Rigi it,
was the dearest day that had been
known for full century, and when he
Travelled over the st. Gothard he went
through q storm Of hailstoues, the least
of which was bigger than hens egg,
and the guide, who was thrcc-scorc years
and ten, and had been over the pass
more than 1000 times, declared that he
had never in his life witnessed such 81
spectacle before The old gentleman
crossed the ocean in the greatest hurri-
cane on record, and saw more icebcrgs
than the oldest sea Captain i'm the SER
vice. His children were all geniuses,
and he found a governcss for them who
proved the most learned and accom-
plished woman in the world
One day the poor man was stricken
with paralysis, and NC feared that his
happy boastfulness was over; but after
six weeks we met him On the street and
he told US that he had been visited by
doctors, who all declared that
that particular kind of paralysis had
never before made its appearance. So
he lives on in the cheerful belief that he
has the best Of everything, and every
time we see him to envy him. Our
toothache is Of the grinding sort while
his makes him feel rs though he had
music box in his mouth. When our
lee gets broken it is only an ugly frac-
ture, but his is a compound fracture of
a compound fracture. We send for u
doctor to cure our ills, and he proves tO
be only an ordinary VI. d., but when hc
seeks physician he finds q man who
has taken every known degree in every
known science and who curcs the worst
,ases ever heard of. When our friend
lies he will probably come bacl, through
some medium just TO tell us that his
Heath was the most wonderful death i'm
.he world, and that he found when he
got up Wonder, that they had saved -
,hOice little corner for him, where he
expects to be more comfortable than
anybody who ever entered the celestial
egions. If all this is mere Boosting
md lying, then Boosting and lying are
10 longer gross faults, but very cons
0rtiUu virtues.

The Progress of the CoIored School
System in the South under Demo
cratic Rule

Extract from statement of Hon. Gusta'
vus Orr, State School Commissioner of Geor-
gia
GIN Virginia, beginning with the year
1871, the cOlOred enrolment for successive
years was as follows: IS, 554, 1916, A, 1872
52,0S6 1891, 62,178, 65,043, 81, 772, 30, 76S
In South Carolina the same enrolment from
1870 has BEEN IL, 1871, 33, S34, 46, $50, 56, 249,
GO, AS, 70,8O2, $685., 62,120, 64,995. In
Georgia, beginning in 1871 and emitting
1872, when there were no public schools,
the same record reads, 6,664 1873, II, 374,
30, 35S, 81 1897, 60, 230, 1868, while in Mis-
sissippi, beginning with 1875, the same
figures were, S9,SI3. 80, u.s. 104, III, III, 796.
The only year for which nay correspondence
enables me to present the grand aggregate
for the entire South was the year 1870. The
attendance for this year foots up the aston
ishing sum of 73S, I64, the reports being
accurate for all the States except Arka nsas,
Florida and Louisiana, ia which, as already
stated, careful estimates were made. When
confronted with a record like the foregoing
achieved in the midst of the difficulties that
beset US on every side as a friend of the
colored race l thank God and take cour-
age.
You desire doubtless to hear something
now in respect to the higher education. In
regard to this can give but few facts. Such
as they are, / present them almost in the
very words of my correspondents.
''The State of Maryland appropriates
1900 per annum for the support of nor
NAL school for the training of colored teach
ers.
''Virginia sets apart $4,000 per annum
out of the proceeds of the land script dona-
ted by congress for the support of school
at Hamton.
''Claflin University, now united with the
Colored Agricultural College, and located
at Orangeburg, receives from the State of
South Carolina $500 per annum-
Georgia pays out of her treasury to At
lanta University $4,000 year in discharge
of the equitable claim of the colored people
to participation in the land script fund
EsThe average expenditure of the State of
Mississippi upon the higher institutions for
the education of the negro is about $4,000
per annum.
ssThe new constitution of Louisiana,
adopted in 1879, provides that the General
Assembly shall establish in New Orleans a
university for the education of persons of
color, and make an annual appropriation
for its support of not less than $1,000, nor
more than $4,000.
"Missouri appropriates $4,000 per annum
to the Lincoln Institute. 8 school for the
training of colored teachers"

SOMETHING GOOD.

From the New FORK Sun.
When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The blight of deep disgrace shall fall, in
stead
or words ST blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being vet
May fall so low but love may lift his head ;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If something good be said.
No pitving heart may vainly turn aside
In ways Of charity; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glOrihei,
If something good be said.
Aud so l charge We, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior bled,
nd by your souls hope of fair renOwn,
Let something good be said

There are magdalens still to acknOWl-
edge the saving power. Minnie Brooks,
the keeper of Chicago place of siu, has
transformed her establishment into the
"Christain mission" Miss Brooks is
described as a woman Of middle age, with
a magnificent form and a sad face. At
the opening service she was dressed in
black, and about her SholderS was thrown
a light white shawl. She wore no head
dress save that which had been given her
by naturC-a wealth of dark brown hair,
which was combed straight back from
the forehead and twisted into a tight coil
at the back. No ornaments were to be
seen about her dress or hair. She is still
woman Of striking appearance, and al
though the most quiet was the most con-
spicuous person in the room. BY her
side sat one of the ladies Of the Praying
Band, and behind her sat others. The
Rev. B. +. Jacobs conducted the service.
Miss Brooks was requested to say word.
She rose and the room became perfectly
quiet. Even the shouting in the street
was hushed. She hesitated in her speech
and walked nervOusly up and down the
short space of the aisle in 'front.' which
was not crowded. She asked the pray
ers of all good people. She had started
on this work of reform Of her own free
will, influenced by no one save her con-
science and her God. But she realized
that she needed the prayers Of Gods peo-
pie to sustain her. She urged those who
had been her companions in the past to
be so now in her new endeavor, that when
they came to die they might have Jesus
with them. She stopped for few mo-
ments, walked up and down the aisle scv-
eral times, and then said if any one had
anything against her she asked forgive
ness. She had been fighting for this
some time, and hoped they would help
her continue to fight it out. Again she
asked their prayers. The meetings are
to be continued nightly.

Occasionally an old time courtesy crops
out among the Saratoga habitucs. The
other morning a noted poet was convers-
ing with lady whose trcsses were white
with age and her face, although a noble
one, was scanned with numberlcss wrink-
les. The band had ceased playing and
the crowd was dispensing. (Which way
are you going?" asked the poet of the
aged dame. She indicated the direction,
and he took a rose from his button hole,
picked off the leaves and scattered them
before her. "Allow me to strew rose
leaves in your path my dear madam, )"
said the poet as he bowed his good morn
lug and walked away. Just after, Il wait
er came with a broom to sweep up the pi-
aZza, and the rose leaves were about to
form a part of the debris, when the lady
interfered, and picking them up, she de-
clared she would keep them as long as
she lived. No belle in her teens could
have been better pl eased than was this
old lady at the charming compliment so
gracefully paid her by the poet.
