Judge Wylie's Views As to the Law.
Judge Wylie, before the arguments proceeded,
explained briefly his views as to the law. The only
protection that society has now, he said, against
utter destruction by unpnncipled newspaper men
other. one newspaper published libel the rival
libel on the other side; and 50 1t Is
that society is held In the safety OF
equilibrium. The power OF the press was held
by fallibe men, and men who are purchaseable-
and he did not mean by that that they were more
fallibe than men In other calltngs They will work
life. It was always point OF q newspaper to have
q circulation, and some newspapers considered It
necessary, in order TO get circulation, to be racy
and personal So the people came to understand
these sensational articles and to pay little attention
to them. Yet the people out OF the public walks OF
LIE, people In the country, who get their paper
Saturday night and believe all that is In 1t,
are the ones that are misled The court took the
view, however, that II would be an injury to the
public to cOnf1ne newspaper writer's to mere state
ment OF facts, and q hard measure to hold man
guilty OF libel who wrote something with honest
motive which proved afterwards TO be untrue.
When statements are made reckiessly, the false
thought the defendants should be acquitted II the
jury found that they had published IL with an
honest belief that 1t was true.

"A CURIOUS CASE

In some of the English public
schools difficulty arose between a
teacher and scholar concerning
certain lessons which were to be
learned at home. The case was
taken before the Appellate Court,
where it was decided that ''home
lessons set by teachers cannot be
enforced" The New York Medi-
cal Record thinks The practical re-
suits of the decision will be largely
modified by the fact that teachers
will continue to give lessons of
such a length as to COMPEL home
study or result in the lowering of
the scholars standing. The Rec
ord asks if the requirements Of
home study are not, in general,
"too exactins for the proper devel-
opment of the health Of children?"

HOW JEWELL WAS LET OUT.

Marshall JEWELS eviction from
General Grants Cabinet was anus
ing. The Postmaster General had
gotten into the habit Of giving ad-
vice concerning the business OF
other executive departments, as
we'll as that over which he presided
and the President had grown rather
FESTIVE under it. One day, after
the removal Of a. Treasury agent,
Mr.. Jewell said, in his peculiar way
showing his dazzling teeth +:
"You have been at it again, and,
Mr.. President, don't you think you
have gone a little to far in the mat
teri"
Grant did net seem to like this,
and after awhile, turning to Jewell,
said.
Il would rather have your resig-
nation than your advice.
Jewell jumped up and left the
room.
The President gave me no rea-
son fer asking my resignation, =
said he, and l gave no reason in
my resignation for resigning.

Henri Rochefort has fought his
eleventh duel, and it is said to he
the only one in which he has woun-
ded his adversary. French duels are
not verv deadly, or Rochefort
would not be alive with such a rec
ord as this. His antagonist on this
occasion was Captain FORMER, who
negotiated the Tientsin treaty, and
the provocation was sarcastic ar
t;cle in Rochefort's paper. At the
first pass both the duelists were
wounded, the editor in the neck
and the naval officer in the side.
Their honor having thus been vim
dicated, they shook hands grayely,
and the absurd affair was at an
end.

From Surveyor General Preble it
is learned that the State, during
the last two years, has sold about
100000 acres Of its lands, and that
about $4,000 per month Is coming
into his office from such sales.
Should this ratio continue, in Is
years the last acre of land belong
ing to the State will have been dis
posed of.

Democratic majority of Al. AL
ready the organization of the next
House is being discussed. The
Protectionist Democrats will have

the II Democrats who voted to

had more confidence in Logan than il McPher-
