money. III give you ten dollars"
simply means, "I'll give you forty

Chancery Decision.

The complicated chancery suit in
volving the ownership of the Nodena,
Ark, cotton plantation-a fine tract
Of property, worth at least $4,000
has been decided in favor Of Mrs.
Mary e. Pickett. The latter leased
the place to Ferguson & Hampson for
term of years, in 1877. 1t was sub
sequently judicially sold at public
cutlery, and was bid in by L. Hanauer,
the lessees retaining possession. The
decision of Judge Elicit, as special
Chancellor, covers numerous points,
among which are that Hanauer's pur-
chase of February %, 1879, was Fer.
guson Ia Hampson's purchase, they
having furnished the money to make
the necessary cash payment, and the
purchasers at once began costly i'm
provementt; the landlord has a right
to redeem under the circumstances,
and she is not estopped from land
lords rights by conduct at the sale.
Mrs. Pickett is to be charged with
the permanent and valuable improve
ments made after February %, '79, but
this will not include the land
clearing or fencing. She will be
credited with the unpaid rent under
the lease given in November, 1877, and
also with insurance money collected
by the defendants, and with interest
on the same. The difference is to be
paid into court by Mrs. Pickett, after
which the property may be legally re-
conveyed to her by Ferguson & Hamp-
son. A mortgage given by the latter
to Hanauer cannot ebstruct the re-
demption Of the property by Mrs.
Pickett, and Mr.. Hanauer must join
in the conveyance to her, or release
the mortgage separately. He will De
entitled to the money he advanced out
of the money to be paid by Mrs. Pick
EFT, if the sum due is sufficient to COW
er his claim.

The boiling Tennessee Democrats
who held their State Convention YES,
terday at Nashville, nominated n
gentleman by the name of Russell for
Governor, made a platform which is
conspicuous for its omissions, and ad-
iourned amid pretty general burst of
disappointment,
The object of each of the boiling
leaders seemed to be to shirk respon.
sibllity, and to put the load of odium
and labor on some one else.
The convention might have spared
itself an arraignment Of the Republi-
cans. Its action can have but one
effect, If it has any, and that is to re-
elect a Republican Governor, to sup
plant a Democratic Senator with a
Republican Senator, and morally and
materially to strengthen the hands of
the Republicans in and out of Con-
gress, The likelihood is that it will
produce no effect at all. But, If II.
possessed any power, it would inure
to the benefit OF the Republican
party.
1t is not very edifying spectacle to
see a generous man and gallant SOL
der like General Cheatham Joining in
this effort TO defeat the election Of an
old cOmrade and political associate.
We have no right, and no DISPOSE
ton, to question the motives of any of
these gentlemen; but their movement
IS as unwise as it is unjust, and the
time will come when those of them
who are Democrats at heart, and who
prefer to remain in the Demooratic
party, will bitterly regret it.
The ticket nominated will not cot

day in connection with Mr.. Frederick

abolt the transaction. He declares
emphatically that Mrs. NJ. never ap-
piled for any divorce, that she never
tried to make Mr.. Schmid believe she
would marry him, that Mr.. Schmid
knew when he made the trade what he
was buying; and that the purchase
money Of 1860 was paid for the right
to manufacture and sell baking pow.

Mr.. Mulholland in proof Of his asser-
tons exhibits contract made with
Lyle x Shields giving them the right
to make the same powder for 1925.
Mr.. Schmid knew that Mrs. M. was
his (Mulholland's) wife, and knew also
that Mulholland himself was in the
city. He, MulhOlland, never attempted
any concealment. Schmid has been
talking Of making the trade for some

advantages of the trade. Mrs. Null

s'Capital and Population. 4 Study of the Economic Effects of Their Relations to Each Other" by Frederick B. Hawley. is a valua. ble and timely book. The author says in his preface that the economic law which he has attempted to establish equals in it's influence upon economic questions any hitherto ascer- tained. Taking up Mills Principles" for a basis he endeavors to prove his position from g. critique of that work He accepts Mills definition of capital and comes to the conclu- sion that au increase of capital beyond the needs of population frequently occurs in ciy- ilized nations. He then shows how this con- dition of things has relation to and an ef- feet upon production, labor, wages, commer- cial crisis and industrial stagnation and the principles of free trade and protection. His position on the question of free trade is {: ''The ultimate state under protection is, therefore, in several ways more desirable than that arrived at under free trade and will be sooner reached. The price paid for this result is present loss in the efficiency of the world. Whether the result is fully worth the price cannot perhaps well be determined, but that it is worth large part of it cannot surelybe denied" Published by D.

OPIUM.


 At the yearly meeting of Friends held re- gently in Providence the traffic in opium and the use of the drug were considered. A con- mittee was appointed to make report upon the matter and it's report is now published. It contains much that is well worth atten- ton.
 It is estimated that in China there are at least two million opium smokers and that they expend for the drug totalof $125, ,OOO,- 900 year. Tne opium statistics for the United States are relatively formidable. The importations in 1869 into this country were ninety thousand, nine hundred and ninety seven pounds of opium of gold value of S525, ,802. Five years later the imports amounted to one hundred and seventy thou sand seven hundred and six pounds, an in- crease of almost one hundred per cent, the money value of which was $945, 232. In the following three years the increase was mark ed, so that in 1877 the quantity reported was 23O, 1O2 pounds. In 1876 crude opium was brought to this country to the amount of 228, 742 pounds, while in 1880 the amount had increased 40 per cent. Morphia, an al- kaloid of opium, was imported in 1876 to the extent of more than LOGO ounces, and four years later in New York alone there were re- ceived $500 ounces. The estimates concern ing the extent of drug consumption are ne- cessarily imperfect, but so large a number as 100000 is given as the estimate of opium eaters in the United States These users of the drug require nearly 5,OOO,O0O grains to satisfy them each year. The allow ance to be made for smuggling would increase the, sad totals to be recorded. Throughout the country the habit is developing. Local statistics, said to be en tirely trustworthy, of towns in Illinois, Indi- ana, Ohio and Kentucky, report three. to six opium eaters in every one hundred inhabi- tants. It is computed that more than six thousand Americans-men and women smoke opium.
 It will perhaps not be long before there will be reform movement in this country directed against the use of opium. Consid- ering the terrible force and seductiveness of the habit the. sooner it starts the better.

Rev. Dr. Cuyler agrees with Rev. Mr.
 Todd, of this city, in thinking that the refor- nation of confirmed drunkards is well nigh impossible The hope of the temperance cause, he thinks, lies in training the young to total abstinence, and he would make this a feature of Sunday school teaching. ''I have had considerable experience with the best managed inebriate asylums in the land, he says, land a majority of those whom have induced to enter the most Christianly con- ductsd institutions have afterward relapsed into their old habits. The most pitiable fail ure I ever made was in the case of an accom-
 plishsd young man, who had once been a student in the Episcopal Theological Semi nary at Alexandria. That poor fellow be- came intoxicated fthin twenty four hours after he was diseha ed from Dr. Earnings Christian Home foi Inebriates. I have re-
