A very interesting suit has just been tried
at Laursns, South Carolina. At the sale of
an intestate's personal property during the
early part of the: war the widow bought sew
eral slaves and gave her note, with good
sureties, to the administrator. In the prog
ress of the war the a1ministra ator was killed
in battle. The sons of the intestate all be-
ing in the army, the widow became admins
tratrix de bonis non, and received from the
personal representative of the deceased ad-
ministrator all the "choses in action" of the
-ntestate, inclr ding her own note above mem
toned. at the settlement of the intestate' 3
estate, the Administrative de bonis non was
charged by the Judge of probate with the
value of that note as SO much ''cash in
handl" The fact, however, was beyond
question that the administrative de bonis
non had accounted for erary dollar she ever
received; that she was ruined by the emanci-
patton of the identical slaves for which this
note was given, and otherwise SO insolvent as
net to be able to pay on the above mentioned
decree as much as per cent. Her admins
tration bond surety sues the sureties to the
note to compel their payment of their and
her (widow and administrative sale note
In aid Of the former, and one of the
suretiss to the note is large creditor of the
intestate's estate, and pressing for satisfac-
ton of the probate decree. The defendants
(note sureties), by their attorneys. claim that
the note was paid by operation of law when
it came to the makers possession in the
character of the administrators, and that the
presidents are binding against the admins
tratrix and her bondsmen for faithful ad-
ninistration, and exonerate her as an indi-
vidual, and also her sureties to the note
The attorney, however, for the plaintiff (the
surety to the administration bond) contends
that there is no case to be found exactly
like this; that the principles which have
warranted certain exceptions to the general
rule as to ''cash in hand" clearly warrant
this case being made another exception; that
under the code all legal fcions and the
teehnicalities have been swept away; that
facts are now onnipotent, and that to re-
quire the bond surety to pay for the sale
note is shocking to natural justice. The
Judge reserved his decision, which will be
looked fer with lively interest by many
others than the parties and their attorneys.

The new method Of transportin0 msht Ia q

driven into the containing chamber In moist

The British Medical association has made
| an interesting inquiry concerning the infeo-
tiousness Of consumption. It sought to dis
cover exactly what basis there was for the
idea that consumption was s'catching. ;" For
this purpose it issued circular which elici-
ted LOIS replies; 67s were simply negative
in their character, making neither for nor
against the theory; 80 were doubtful; 105
were distinctly adverse. But 261 affirmative
replies revealed astonishing facts. In 1872
cases the observers reported that the disease
passed between husband and wife, although
in 130 1t was distinctly stated that there was
no family history of the disease in the case of
the partner who caught the disease In one
case . young man died after being nursed by
his sister. She died, and so did her most in
imate ffiend. The affectionate care and
loving fFiendship were simply deadly A
lawyer caught the disease from his wife, and
his servant from him; all died. A dress
maker died from consumption. and SO within
two years did three young apprentices.
A pamphlet entitled .iobservations on
Spiritualism,' - by the Archduke John, has
just appeared in Vienna. The Archduke,
who was mainly instrumental in unmasking
Bastian, says that this modern superstition
numbers millions of adherents, including
many In his own country, and is cherished
not only in the huts of peasants, but even in
the palaces of the great. He gives most
interesting account of his own spiritualistic ex-
perisnces, Baron Helenbach, one Of the most
ardent enthusiasts among the spiritnalists.
had recommended Bastian to his Imperial
Highness. The story Of the unmasking of
Bastisn is then related in an amusing fashion.
To question Of the Grown Prince what he
thought of the affair, he replied that he
thought il an imposture. 81 never doubted
that was the Grown Prince's reply; 'bnt
that is not enough-it must be proved to be
an .imposture, as SO many people believe in
1t. p" Than . scheme for unmasking Bastian
was devised. The Archduke represented to
the Grown Prince that the chief thing was to
iull the performer into secu rity, and thus to
make him act with less caution; and he after
ward thought of the plan Of Suddenly elock
ing the door behind the medium and appari
tions. A 1ocksmith made the necessary
mechanism, and the ghost was captured.
