CORONERS' POWERS.
A Recent Supreme Court De
cisiOn-Where Inquests are
Proper and Where
Improper

Judge Mercur, of the Supreme Court
has rendered decision relative to the
power of coroner's in case concerning
coroners fee, which says: "In hold
ing an inquest the coroner acts in 6
judicial capacity. If he has jurisdic
tion in a particular case, and makes q
sufficient record of the inquest, the reg.
ularity Of the finding cannot be i'm.
peached in collateral proceeding. II
is the duty of a coroner to hold an in
quest sup5r risum corporis, where he
has cause to suspect that the decedent
was feloniously destroyed, or when his
death was caused by violence. When
ever he holds one the presumption is
that he acted in good faith and on suf-
icient cause. The question now pre-
sented is, whether in a suit by him for
his services that presumption is con-
elusive against the city or may be over
thrown by evidence The duty of a
coroner to hold an inquest rests on
sound reason, on that reason which is
the life of the law. 1t is not a power
to be exercised capriciously or arbitrari-
ly against all reason.
TIE object of an inquest is to seek
information and secure evidence in case
OF death by violence or other means.
If there is reasonable ground to sus-
pect that death was so caused, it be-
comes the duty of the coroner to do it.
He has no ground for suspecting that
the death was not natural one, it is a
perversion of the whole spirit of the
law to compel the county to pay him
for such services. In this case the in
quest found that the decedent came to
his death from a paralytic stroke. If
under the facts offered in evidence a
coroner may hold an inquest, he may
in his discretion, at the expence of the
county, order post mortem examina-
ton, whereby those bound to the de-
cedent by the nearest and most tender
ties may have their feelings lacerated
in everv case of natural death. The
idea is preposterous and abhorrent to
all the filer emotions of human nature
1t was error to reject the evidence if
be had sufficient cause to justify his
action he may still show it. If he
had not there is no good reason why
the county should pay for unnecessary
and troublesome services. The county
was no p rty to the inquest, and this is
the first opportunity it has had of be-
ing heard"

A Story of a Song.
From the Southern World

From the Southern Wor,d.l
] hn Howard Payne, author of
"llJme, Sweet Home" was warm
personal friend of John Ross, who will
be remembered as the celebrated chief
of the Cherokees. At the time the
Cherokces were removed from their
h0m"s in Georgia to there present
possession west of the Mississippi
river, Payne was spending "a few weeks
cupying a miserable cabin. having been
forcihly elected from his former home
A number of the prominent Cherokees
were in prison, and that portion OF
Georgia in which the tribe was located
was secured by armed squads of the
Georgia militia, who had orders to ar
rest all who refused to leave the coun-
try. While Ross and Payne were
seated before the fire in the hut, the
door was suddenly burst open and six
or eight militiamen sprang ilto the
room. The soldiers lost no tine in
taking their prisoners away. Ross
was permitted to ride his own horse,
while Payne was mounted on one led
by soldier As the little party left
the hovel rain began falling and cou-
tinued until every man was drenched
thoroughly The journey lasted all
night. Toward midnight Payne's
escort, in order to keep himself awake,
began humming: Home, home,
sweet, sweet home," when Payne re-
marked
Little did | expect to hear that song
under such circumstances and at such
time. Do you know the author ?"
"No," said the soldier do you ?"

"The devil you did You can tell
that to some fellows, but not to me.
Look here. You made that song, you
say. If you did-and | know you
didn't-you can say it all without stop
ping 1t has something in it about
pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in
and reel it. off and if you can't I'll
bounce you from your horse and lead
you instead of it,"
The threat was answered by Payne,
who repeated the song in slow, SUBJ
dued tone, and then sang it, making
the old woods ring with the tender
melody and pathos of the words. 1t
touched the heart of the rough soldier,
who was not only captivated but con-
vinced, aud who said that the composer
of such a song should never go to pris-
on if he could help it. And when the
party reached Milledgevile e they were,
after a preliminary examination. dis
charged, much to their surprise. Payne
insisted it was because the leader OF
the squad had been under the magnetic
influence OF Ross conversation, and
Ross insisted that they had been saved
from insult and Imprisonment by the
power of Home, Sweet Home" sung
as only those who feel can sing it. The
friendship existing between Ross and

From aswestern paper we extract
the following practical remarks; they
will be very useful to everyone on a
farm: How many of the boys who
read this could clay off, al acre of
ground exactly, providing one OF the
dimensions was given them? Now.
"Hoe Handle" likes to be useful, and
he has taken some pains to make out

of the farm boys learn it. There are
100 square rods in an acre, and there are
3OI square yards in one rod. This
gives 4,S40 square yards in one acre.
