Important Decisions,

A. A. Smith, citizen of Virginia, ten
dered to the treasurer of Richmond city
coupons for his taxes. The treasurer re-
fused to receive them, and levied on Smith 8
property Smith sued the treasurer for a
trespass in the Circuit Court of Richmond
city and removed the case for trial into the
Circuit Court of the United States The
treasurer pleaded as his defence that an act
of the Virginia Legislature forbade him to
receive the coupons, and that another act
commanded him to levy Notwithstanding
the tender. Smith demurred to that plea
and Judge Bond made the following ORDER
"The court is of the opinion that the de-
PENDANT was a trespasser in levying on and
Selling the plaintiffs property after the
plaintiff had rendered to him the coupons
described in the plaintiffs replication in
payment of his taxes, and that the act of
the General Assembly Of the State of Vir-
ginia, approved January Goth, 1882, and
the act of the General Assembly of said
State which commands the defendant to
levy on the plaintiffs property after said
tender of coupons, both Of which acts are
referred to by the defendant in his rejoin-
der. are unconstitutional and void, SO far as
thew command the defendant to refuse said
COUPONS, and so far as they commanded the
defendant to levy on and seize plaintiffs
nroperty after said tender Of coupons, and
therefore constitute no defence to the de-
PENDANT for his said trespass. 1t is there
fore considered by the court that the plain.
tiffss demurrer to the defendants rejoinder
be sustained, and that a jury inquire of and
assess the plaintiffs damages"

How Long Mau May Live.

1t was Professor Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might be
set at 200 years. This on the general prin-
ciple that the life of creature is eight
times the years of it's period of growth.
That which is quickly formed quickly per-
ishes, and the earlier complete development
is reached the sooner bodily decay ensues.
More women reach Old>age than men, but
more men attain remarkable longevity than
women. Some animals grow to be very
old. Horned animals live shorter lives
than those without horns, fierce longer
than timid, and amphibious longer than
those which inbabit the air. The voracious
pike exists, it is said, to an age OF 100
years; the turtle is good for hundred
years OF more; and among birds the golden
eagle is known to have lived nearly 300
years, while the sly and somber crow
reaches the venerable age of a century.
Passing in the scale of life to man, and
skipping the patriarchs, we find many re-
corded instances Of longevity among the
classic Greeks and Romans. Pliny notes
that in the reign of the Emperor Vespasian,
in the year 76, there were 1874 men living in
the limited area between the Apprentices
and the Pc of 100 years and upward, three
of whom were 14O and four over 1876. Cic-
eros wife lived to the age of 1903, and the
Roman actress Luceja played in public as
late as her 18th year.
Coming down to more recent times the
most notable authentic instances Of great
age is that of Henry Jenkins, of Yorkshire,
England, who died in 1910, 1863 years old.
He was fisherman, and at the age of 100
easily swan across rapid rivers. Another
historic case is that of Thomas Parr, of
| Shropshire, day laborerer, who lived to
the age of 1872 years. When more than 100
he married his second wife, and till 1870 he
could swing the scythe and WELD the fail
with the best of his fellow laborers. In
his 152d year Parr went up to London to
exhibit himself to the king. 1t proved an
unlucky visit, for violating the abstemious
habit Of century and a half, the old man
feasted so freely on the royal victuals, that
he soon died merely of plethora. On
examination his internal organs proved to
be in excellent condition, and there was no
reason why he should not have lived much
longer save for this unfortunate taste OF
royal hospitality. Pofessor Hnfeland's roll
Of centenarians includes many more re-
markable cases. among them that of Nit
tlestedt, Prussian soldier, who served
sixty-seven years under both Fredericks,
fighting many battles and enduring much
hard campaigning, and who after all this
married successfully three wives, the last
when he was 10, only two years before his
death -Sprimateld Republican.

He CARRIED 1T A LITTLE TOO FAR.-A
gentleman stopped his horse at tollgate,
and not seeing the gate-keeper went into
the house. Finding no one he began to
search, and finally discovered the gate-keep-
er out in the field at work. Although the
old man was quite distance away, the gen
tleman went into the field, approached the
old man and said:
seYou are the toll gate keeper, I believer
eyes sir" the old man replied, turning
and leaning upon his hoe handle.
'Well, want to go through the gate
''Ain't the gate open ~

s'Wel, why don't you go through It's
my business to be there"
"Because want to pay you"
"And you came all the way out here to
pay me five cents ?"
eyes, sir, said the gentleman, proudly
looking the old man in the eye.
Couldn't you have left the money on the
table ?''
''Yes, but l wanted you to know that l
paid you"
ssYou are an honest man."
eyes, sir,' replied the gentleman, while
a pleased expression spread oyer his face.
"You would have walked three times as
far to have paid me that five cents, wouldn' t
you?
eyes, sir, l would"
ssHere, john" the old man called to boy
that lay in the shade, ''call the dog and 60
along and watch this Teller till he gets away.
Bet hundred dollars he steals something
fore he leaves the place."

How a Woman Mails a Letter.

Some crusty curmudgeon thus tells how
q woman goes to work to mail letter. 1t
is libel on the sex. Some of the girls
will make it red-hot for him if discovered:
''Any day when you have time you can
see how she does it by dropping into the
post-office. She arrives there with letter
in her hand. 1t is sheet of note in a
white envelope. She halts in front of the
stamp window, opens her mouth to ask for
a stamp, but suddenly darts away to see if
she has made any error in names or dates.
1t takes five minutes for her to make
sure of this, and then she balances the let
ter on her finger, and then the awful query
arises in her mind: Perhaps it is over
weight She steps to the window and
asks the clerk if he has three-cent stamp,
fearing that he hasn't, and she looks over
every compartment in her portmonnaie be-
fore she finds the change to pay for it.
The fun commences as she gets the
stamp. She glides around to one side, re-
moves her gloves, closely inspects the
stamp, and hesitates whether to lick it OF
wet her finger.
She finally concludes it wouldn't be nice
to show her tongue, and vets her finger
and passes it over the envelope. She is SO
long picking up the stamp that the mois-
ture is absorbed and the stamp slides off
the envelope. She tries twice more with
like success, and getting desperate, she
gives the stamp a lick and it sticks.
Then comes the sealing of the letter.
She vets her finger again, but the envelope
flies open, and after three minutes delay
she has to pass her tongue along the streak
Of dried mucilage.
She holds to the letter long time to
make sure that the envelope is all right,
and finally appears at the window and asks:
Three cents is enough, is it?' Yes,
ma'am' This will go out today? Ger
tainly' Will it go to Chicago without the
name of the county on?' Just the same
What time will it reach there?' 'To-mor-
row morning. She signs, turns the letter
over and over and finally asks: Shall drop
it into one of those places there% Yes,
ma'am.'
She walks up in front Of the six orifces,
closely scans each one of them, finally
makes a choice, and drops-no she doesn't.
She stops to see where it will fall, pressing
her face against the window until she fiat
tens her nose out of shape, and she doesn't
drop it where she intended to. She, how
ever, releases it at last, looks down to make
sure that it did not fall ON the floor, and
turns away with a sigh OF regret that she
didn't take one more look at the super
scription."

NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS
Simon Cameron says the great mistake of
the Democracy was in not running Tilden
in 1880. More men thought the same
thing. The truth is the campaign of 1876
was a movement of the seople, the out
burst of popular Capitalization. That of
1880 was the management of the leaders,
and the result Of caucusing. Now, to our
mind, the great thing for the country is to
secure Democratic administration. To
us in the South all issues, political and ma
terial, constitutional and local, financial
and legal, are subordinate to this. We
must right the wrong of 1877. "The fraud
first triumphant in American history" must
be rebuked. Such men as John Sherman,
Bill Chandler, Kellogg & Co., must be
driven from public life. The old war cry
of retrenchment and reform must be raised.
The people demand reformation, and a
reformer must be the leader, if he Is as old
as Methuselah, and if like Joshua, we have
to find an Aaron and Hur to hold up his
hands while he directs the battle for the
people and their rights. Tilden and Hem
bricks and the st. Louis platform are de-
manded. The people are pointing that
way.-Lynchbarg AdU0Rce.

To BENEFIT THE DEMoCRAcY.-There
can.be no doubt, we think, that the last
movement of Malone will greatly benefit
the Democracy Of Virginia. atlanta Con-
stitati0n.
That the Democratic party will be bene-
fitted there can be no doubt. The Virginia
Democracy was already strong enough to
take care of ITSELF for it will be remembered
that the Democrats had a majority of over
20, 600 last fall; but the last act of Malone
throwing off the mask and declaring his
gang to be the Republican party of Vir-
giuia" will have the effect of opening the
eyes OF the few Democrats who had been
beguiled into acting with Malone under
the impression that Mahone's party was an
Independent faction and not Republican.
and the result will be that our majority
next fall will be increased by the number
Of former Democrats that drop out of the
SO called Republican party and return
to the Democratic party.--Rich. State.

Signing the Declaration.
OUR FOREFATHERS TOOK THEIR TINE AT
THIS GLORIOUS WORK.

OUR FOREFATHERS TOOK THEIR TINE AT
THIS GLORIOUS WORK.
In thinking of that instrument one is apt
to call up before him an august assemblage
gravely seated around table. with the dec
laration spread out upon it, and each men,
Der of the Constitutional Congress in turn
taking a pen and with great dignity aff1xing
to it his name. Nothing, however, can be
further from that which actually took place.
Very few of the delegates, if indeed any,
signed the original document on the ,4th,
and none signed the present one now in In
dependence Hall, for the very good reason
that it was not then in existence.
On July 10Th Congress voted that the dec
laration be engrossed on parchment. JEFF
ferson, however, says that New York
signed on July 10Th. Consequently New
York must have signed the original copy of
the Declaration before it had gone into the
hands of the engrosser. On what day the
work was done by the copyist is not known.
ALI that is certainly known is that on the
I'd of August Congress had the document as
engrossed. This is the document in exist
ence now in Independence Hall. 1t is on
parchment, or something that the trade calls
parchment. On that day august 2d) it
was signed by all the members present. The
original Declaration is lost, or rather was
probably purposely destroyed by Congress.
All the signatures were made anew. When
the business of signing was ended is not
known. One Matthew Thornton, from
New Hampshire, signed it in November,
when he became member for the first time;
and Thomas Mexican, from Delaware, as
he says himself, did not sign till January,
1777. Indeed, this signing was, in effect,
what at the present day would he called a
sstest-oath. " The principles of many of the
new delegates coming into Congaess from
the different States were not known with
certainty-some of them might be Tories in
disguise-and thus each one was required
on first entering Congress to sign the dec
laration. In January, 1777, an authentic
copy, with the names of all the signers, was
sent to each State for SIGNATURES fact
which may have put a stop to the business
of signing. 1t shows, however, the little
importance that was attached to this cere-
mony, that Robert r. Livingston was one
of the committee of five that reported the
Declaration, and yet did not sign it, unless
his signature is lost with the original docu-
ment.
The truth is, the Declaration of indie
pendence was considered at that time of
much less importance than now; nor did the
signers dream gifts becoming shrine al
most of worship at the present day-W.L.
Stone, in HDper's Magazine.

Go Slow AT FIRsT.-Learn to walk,
young man, before you try to prance. Don't
hunger and thirst for boudoir car while
you are junior clerk and have to sweep out
the store and sleep under the counter. If
you are young physician, don't expect to
make it all in the first year. Your father
rode four or five horses to death before he
was able to put an Administer on the Office
floor, and lean back in his sleepy hollow
chair and announce that he would answer
no calls after p. m. If you are practicing
law, remember that the old attorney, whose
rffice you are sweeping out, wore white
~ and not much of that before he began
taking hole farms for single fees in small
cases. Add bear in mind, too that they
didn't spend every cent of it as fast as they
got it.-Burdette.
