Opinion of the Court by Austin, ].
This case comes here on appeal from tue de-
cision of the Chancellor, overruling the
demurrer of the defendant to the plaintiffs
bill. The demurrer AYERS that the bill is not
sufficient in law.
In his argument, the defendants counsel
claims that the plaintiff is not entitled to an
injunction, which is the relief sought in the
complaint; that his remedy is at law by and.
'ed1rd7ato to try the defendants title TO The
Office Of manager Of the plaintiffs plantation.
And, further, that even if the remedy is NOT bv
quo te1Td'fo, the allegations of injury as
stated in the bill are insufficient upon which 10
grant an injunction
Upon the authorities cited by the Chapcel-
lor in his opinion, we think the remedy in de
case for the plaintiff is not at law by mo
ieaTy'0nfo.

This case was an action for false imprison-
ment tried by jury before Mr.. Justice Aus
tin at the April term of the Court. The
Judgment rendered was in favor of plaintiff.
The Court upon the defendants request to
find upon the facts, whether there was proba-
bic cause for the arrest which was proved,
refused so to find, but submitted that question
to the jury.
Upon the authority Of All Cheu VS.. Wong

therefore reversed and new trial ordered.

The Trade Dollar,

The trade dollar appears TO be doomed, but
we must confess that the present crusade
against it looks very much like speculation.
The coin was issued about ten years ago to
take the place of the Mexican "pillar dollar
SO much desired for the China trade. The
pillar coin was, in silver, of greater value than
our own. To give us fair show in the China
market we issued coin Of 420 grains of sill
yer, nine-tenths fine, and this we called the
TRADE Dollar" 1t was not, and never has
been, a legal tender, except for amounts not
exceeding SIS. 1t was coined only for bullion
owners, and to make it fulfill the purposes for
which issued, it was made four grains richer
than the pillar dollar. The entire coinage of
the trade dollar amounted to $40, 400.
For some years the trade dollar circulated
freely in commercial circles, for it was really
worth more than our silver coins of prior is
sue. When the coin had been out about three
years the legal tender character of it was
withdrawn by Act of Congress, because the
bullion dealers were putting it upon the coun-
try at par, the price of silver having declined.
By this means they were able to realize above
the value of bullion, and hence the repeating
Act. In 1876, therefore, the coinage Of the
trade dollar ceased, and so, for nearly eight
years, none have been minted. Except for
speculative purposes, it is not easy to see
What should have occasioned the present ex-
element about this coin, and the effort to
depreciate it. The coin now rates at less than
us real value in silver 1t is said that an aP-
cal will be made to Congress to redeem tic
dollar at par, and this may account for the
current assault upon it If the dealers can
induce the Government to take it up at par
they will make nice thing But it has been
n long time since ii was declared no legal
tender, and it cannot have been used since
then to the injury of any one, except where
parties were ignorant of the law. But the
great volume of the value is held by silver
spectators. These can get out Of the coin all
and more than it cost them, and so few holders
can suffer injury. While here and there are a
few who ignorantly took the coin at par, it is
not sufficient reason apor which to base de-
mand that the nation shall redeem these bull
lion medals at par, and it is not at all proba-
bic that it will do so.-[ Sac. Record Unionl

Whisky's Work.

This is the too common title to reports on
the double crime Of drunkenness and what
ever other crime to which drunkenness leads.
If drunkenness were made criminal ofense,
and placed on the same level as theta crime
no more likely to lead to murder, and much
less likely to lead to other crimes than drunk
enness-reports so common in newspapers
under the head of "whisky's work. would
be rarely seen. There is no more reason in
calling such crimes "whisky's work" than
there wonld be in calling bank robbery,
involving, it may be, the death of robber or
a policeman, bankers work" The crime of
getting drunk in the one case, and of stealing
in the other, should be made alike punishable
Whisky never murders anybody if severely
left alone And ne who uses it TO drunken
ness and thereby commits murder, is equally
guilty with the thief who commits murder in
defense of his propensity to steal. 1t is
neither the whisky in the one case, nor the
bank in the other, but drunkenness and THE
vishness. OF all crimes which
affaict human society at all present time,
drunkenness is the most common and debas-
ing; it should be made proportionally odious
and punishable.-1He Samaritan.

Bird.Eating Frog.

The following curious narrative Is
taken from the Cape Times, (South
Africa \ lady living in the George
district supplies the following particu
lars Of the habits OF this creature:
Il have much pleasure in furnishing
all the information We have regarding
the large frogs which have proved so
destructive to our young chickens. A
water SLUT runs round our terrace,
and passes through the ground where
the poultry range. and in this the frogs
harl,or. The first time our attention
was drawn to their bird eating propen-
sity was by the cries OF n small bird in
a fuchsia near the stream. Thinking ii
had been seized by q snake. several
hastcned to the spot, and saw a beauti.
ful red and green sugar bird in the
mouth Of large greenish frog; only
the birds head was visible: and its
cries becoming fainter, the frog was
killed and the bird released Its feath.
ers were all wet and Shiny, and fol
some days we could distinguish IL in
the garden by its rufled plumage.
Since then the same species Of frog
have on several occasions been killed
with young chickens half swallowed
and once a duckling was rescued from
the same fate. Whether the noise is
natural TO these frogs, or assumed "a
decoy the chickens within their reach,
we know not; but they constantly
make a chuckling sound 50 exactly like
a hen calling her chickens for food
that we have seen whole broods de-
ceived, and rushing toward the SLUT
where they supposed the hen to be.
The frogs are very wary, and IL Is dill.
cult to find them except by the screams
of their victims. We have lost large
numbers of small chickens In an unac.

that these frogs must be answerabl'
