An Editors Recollection OF the Evnu-
golisUs Boyhood Days.
Rev. Sam Jones was poor boy
raised right here among us. a wild. rat
tling chap that nearly everybody had
ten hard words for TO every good one
spoken in his behalf He was the very
synonym of mischief and audaoity
with a modicum of sharp, native wit,
that had grown with his growth in sue
ceeding years. He cared precious little
about his books, as our experience will
testify in a short term of pupilago i'm
our school directly after the surrender.
To his credit we will say he never for
got his respect or obedience to us, and
an earnest request or calm statement of
the case would cause him to desist from
victimizing the smaller boys with his
tobacco juice or from playing clown in
the pantOmime on the sly during school
hPurs, which was q never-ceasing temp
tatiOn to his keen sense of the ridicu-
lous. His good nature always cropped
out when suffering or trouble was
present.
The writer will never forget a visit he
made to our house in the most rattling
period of his bOyhoOd, to tell us he was
thankful and comforted to know we
were convalesoing from a serious illness
in which our life was despaired of, aud
even at the time mentioned we were
not fairly out of danger of an early and
untimely grave The weather was se-
we're, bitter, extremely cold, but the
young man brought his frank bright
face into the siok-room like a veritable
ray Of sunshine, to tell us that our
school-boys were all so glad we were
still alive. There was in him the germ
of something noble and elevated, and
when he joined the church, within half
a mile of our own door, at a little coun-
try chapel, we felt that the germ would
expand into something that would be-
peculiarly his own-"he would either
make a spoon or spoil horn" How
much spoon last Sunday's crowd can
tell
Eight years ago, when he was peg
ging away on poor little circuit, he
came again to see us, to pay his re-
spects to the late Governor Stephens.
We watched the two, as Mr. Stephens
rolled to and fro on the back veranda,
in his invalid chair listened to Sans
description of a dog fight that had
fallen under his observation. There
was a magnetism in both that quickly
found play, and after the visitors re-
tired Mr.. Stephens was very eulogjstic.
He inquired minulely into his history,
and predicted future from that rough,
native wit that had evoked hearty
laughter, to the veteran statesman's
great enjoyment CarterSgjIe fGu.J

got put together IL could give her away
I'd do it, I'd fat her for beef but she'd
cost more'n she'd be wuth."
That same night a railroad train ran over
her and killed her and the farmer with
tears in his eyes, told the officer of the road
who was prepared to remunerate him for
his loss that if it had been any one Of his
other cows he wouldn't care so much, but
to lose that valuable animal, the only thor

possess, was a misfortune almost beyond

There is an undOubted saving OF
labor in threshing from the shock when
everything works as it should But the
plan has its disadvantages and one is,
that in a rainy season like the present
a force engaged in threshing is obliged
to wait several days, and occasionally
even a week, for grain to dry out, be-
fore the threshing can be finished. In
such a case, of course, the machine has
to be removed to another farm and She

NOT A WIDOW.

Divorce pissoIves the Marriage Contract
and Ends the Marriage Relations.
A wife obtains a divorce from her
husband, and subsequently the hus-
band dies; is she his widow, entitled to
a share of his personal estateP This
question has recently been decided in
the negative by the General Term of
the Supreme Court in the Fifth Depart
menJ of this State. The court holds
that the decree of divorce dissolves the
marriage contract and ends the mar.
riage relation, When the man dies the
woman is not his wife; consequently
she is not his widow after his death.
To the argument that the law was not
intended to deprive an innocent wife
divorced from a guilty husband of her
share in his property, the reply is made
that the appareuE injustice is remedied
by the alimOny allowed her.
This decision applies to personal prop
erty. It has been held in this State
that a divorce obtained by the wife does
not cut of her right of dover in his
real estate acquired during their mar
ried life. This is regarded as a vested
right not annulled by the divorce. But
she has no dover in his real estate ac-
quired after the separation. In the law
of this-State there is a curious excep-
tiOu TO the rule that divorce ends the
married relation. A divorced defendant
is prohibited by statute from marrying
again during a specified period In a
recent case q man after his wife lad
obtained a divorce from him married
another woman, and the Court Of Ap-
pealF held that he was guilty Of bigamY
