xoted Quit Claim.

The ignorance Of the average
darkey regarding the usual legal
matrimonial forms was strikingly
illustrated yesterday evening.
About 8 o'clock an old negress, SO
large aud fat that she shook the
tiOor in walking and so black that
her complexion appeared to have
been spread with stove polish,
wabbled into the Office of the
clerk Of the Chancery Court and
demanded divorce. She stated
to deputy Bradley that she had
just asked for a marriage license
downstairs in the Office of the
County Court Clerk, but had been
refused on the ground that she
had not yet been legally separated
from her first husband. She said
her name was Sophia Littlejohn,
and that her husband, Lawyer
Littleiohn, who left her five years
ago, had just returned to Mem
phis. During his absence she be-
came enamorcd Of a colored gen
tleman named II. w. Winn. Her
husband, too, had formed other
ties, aud was not sorry to learn Of
the attachment that had been
formed during his absence. Nov
ed by a tritling consideration, he
agreed to give winn a quit to
Mrs. Littlejohn. The manner in
which this instrument was drawn
is as follows:
II. w. VIM:
DEAR SIR-This is to certify
that hereby release to you all
my right and title IN one large col.
ored female. weight 300 pounds,
known as Sophia Littlejohn. |
further agree aud covenant that /
will never seek to renew my claim
IN any way or manner. and sol.
emnIy swear that | will refrain
from intruding myself upon You
two in the future.
LAWYER LlTrLEJoHN.
Mr.. Bradley patiently heard the
woman's story and then informed
her that the law would not recog'
nize any such deed Of conveyance
and that she had ceased to be Q
chattel when the war ended. HI
informed her that II would be nee
essary to employ a lawyer and OBJ
tam a decree Of divorce rogularl,
from court. With this she wal
obliged TO be content, and depart
ed with her quit-clsim In search 0
G limb of the law.-Appeal.

London. Feb. 2S.-The Times
speaking of the late United States
Minister, Hunt says: "Mr. Hunt
was a southerner, honest and stur-
dy, aud of venerable presence.
He might wen have sat to q paint
er as type Of the puritan fathers.
His was a prominent head amongst
the crowd Of diplomats present at
the coronation at the Kremlin last
May. Hospitality was nowhere
more freely or graciousIy dispens-
ed than at his elegant hired villa
in Moscow, over which waved the
stars and stripes"

If the Legislature would make
the poll tax two dollars instead of
one, the additional amount thus
received would be nearly snfli.
cient to run the public schools Of
tho county a whole month. We
hope this viii be done. 1t would
make the school tax fall more
equally upon the citizens. Every
person who claims to be citizen
of our country should be able and
perfectly willing to pay a two dol
lar poll tax for the benefit Of tho
schools. Hardly one-four.h of the
school tax raised in our county
comes from the poll tax. II It
we're doubled 1t would pay nearly
one-haIf of the school tax neces-
sary to be raised in the county
and the tax on property could be
considerably lessened. Let it be
done by all Ineans.-K Kosciusko
