A 1IlsTonY or rnE CASE.

Duffner bought tract OF land in Up
shur county from the defendants, who
formed o syndicate and purchased It at o
delinquenttax sale. It Is alleged that the
defendants protessed to convey good
title, and that Dutrner so believed when
he purchased it. This the defense deny,
claiming they merely conveyed the title
vested in them by the transfer from the
State. The sum paid by the defendants
was $500, while they sold the land for
$4,000. The tract is one which has been
carried on the tax books Of the county for
"a century. 1t was originally granted to
Thomas Wilson over q century ago, and
by him transferred to a man named
Swan, who had been contractor for fur
nishing provisions to the American forces
during the Revolution. Swan became
embarrassed financially, and failing opay
the taxes, the land reverted to the State,
and was sold for nonpayment OF taxes.
Tho purchaser transferred the title, and
the tract was divided from time to time.
The title carried on the tax books, and out
Of which the present suit grew, was origi-
ually derived from Swan. ~

American Prestige Abroad.

The affair at the lSthmus is signit-
icant. not solely for the restoration
Of order by the United States ma
rines, but as an evidence that Amer
leans have still some interest in, and
some influence upon, the outside
world. 1t would have been well to
seek an occasion for such u demon
stration had not one been offered us.
For, Notwithstanding our immense
development Of some resources, and
our intense local activity, we have
been steadily losing prestige among
the nations as power which it con-
cerned them to either favor or fear.
Among distant peoples whose inter-
est in us is not kept alert by our i'm
portation of their luxurips, we are
regarded as q huge National Rip
Van Winkle, who went to sleep
some twenty years ago. 1t is a good
thing for us to appear once more,
even in so insignificant an affair us
that Of doing police duty at Panama,
with our antiquated armament which
is comparatively little better than
the old gun, with rusted barrel and
worm-ea.en stock, with which Rip
came down from the mountains.

semi-barbarous people, whose CHIEF
industry is that of bucketing up the
oil which drips from our native
rocks; for nothing else that repre-
sents American commerce, manu-

tance, is ever seen.

Ii our influence abroad is so little
as to allow such ignorance of our in
stitutions and history in the very
courts Of the East, what must it be
among the common people? The
flag of the Republic is seldom seen
in Oriental ports. The principal
employment Of our Consuls is in
keeping fresh paint on the big wood

announces, on a ribbon he holds in
his beak, the residence of some
Greek merchant or native trades

of this article has been gazed upon

occurred, or would have been speed

to our Minister, and he delayed to

on the demand made by our Chris
