A SOUTHERN DECISION.

The Supreme court of Texas has just ren- dered decision against the Galveston News which has deeply disturbed the papers of the South. The court decides, first, that news paper can be sued in any county of the State where it circulates. The News is published in Galveston county; this suit was brought in Travis county. Wherever the News is circulated libel suit can be brought against it, if it can be proved that even a single copy of the paper reaches that county; and it can, consequently, be sued in every one of the two hundred odd counties of Texas for one and the same libel The general rule that every person against whom action is brought must be sued in the county of his residence has one exception in the case of libel.
 The decision then deals with the question of privilege. The News published an ac- count of some proceedings before legislative investigating committee The court pro- nounces this publication ibelous. The joint committee of the legislature before which the defamatory words published by the News were uttered was not body possessing judi cial powers, the court declares, and conse- quently the evidence given before it is not PuDAAoAAONA becoming libelous. It was 8 mere ex-parte examination, the object being to obtain evi- dence to guide the State's counsel in institu- ting criminal prosecutions against the perpe- trators of land frauds and forgeries. The investigation, moreover, was conducted in secret and the proceedings should not have been divulged or made public; not even the permission given by the attorney general of the State to the News to print this testimony can excuse or release it from responsibility.
 This decision seems to have shocked the southern press. The New Orleans Times Democrat points out the "novel features' of the opinion, (which, if declared tho law in other States, will render it we'll nigh impos- sible to publish newspaper" The Angus ta Chronicle and Constitutionalist calls it "a tremendous blow at the liberty and value of faithful, watchful public press" The Memphis Appeal and other papers make sim liar utterances. The alarm of these papers is hardly warranted by the facts. The prin- ciples laid down in the decision are not new, and they prevail in most of the States of the Union The decision cannot, therefore, be fairly regarded as an attack upon the free dom of the press

Where an Electric Light is Needed. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In your issue of the 27th I noticed com munication favoring an electric light for the junction of St. John and Grand streets. also am in flavor of such an addition to the locality and think that one is needed at this point as badly as any other place in the city. In addition to advantages to be gained as mentioned in said issue, I beg leave to sug- gest that it might be of great benefit to the fremen at No. 2's house in getting to fires at night if the junction was sufficiently light cd J.

Three Lessons.

There are three lessons I would write,
 Three words as with golden pen, In tracings of eternal light,
 Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope! Though clouds environ round, And gladness hides her face in scorn Put thou the shadow from thy brow,
 No night but hath it's morn Have Faith Where'er thy bark is driven, The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, Know this. God rules the hosts of heaven, The inhabitants of earth! Have Love! Not love alone for one,
 But man man thy brother call; And scatter, like the circling sun,
 Thy charities on all. Thus grave these words upon thy soul, Hope, Faith and Love; and thou shalt find Strength when life's surges maddest roll, Light, when thou else vert blind Schiller.

Worcester Mdss lfdv 28, 1881.
 DR. j. Il. ScHENcK AND HIS MEDICINES.
 During the past two years my mother and brother have died of Consumption. Twas myself quite unwen most of this time and when, shortly after their death, Twas attacked with cough and severe hemorrhages, naturally concluded that was destined to go with the same disease. im- mediately consulted physician, who made spe- cialty of lung diseases After examining me- he said that he thought my lungs were sound, and that I would soon recover. In less than week after this had another severe hemorrhage Thinking that my physician had made mistake in my case, consulted another doctor. He thought my lungs affected, and prescribed for for long time. got no better under his treatment, but generally worse. My cough was very bad, my appetite en- tirely gone had severe pain in my right side, and for months did not sleep more than two or three hours in night. My tongue was heavily coated and had a bad taste in my mouth. 1had the headache almost all the time.
 Feeling that something must be done, at last concluded to consult with Dr. Schenck, the physi- clan who think, I have good reason to believe, to be the best in the treatment of lung disease. went to his office in Boston, and was examined. He found my left lung quite badly diseased, and my liver seriously affected. He told me that could be cured if would follow his directions. Of course consented to do so, and very soon saw that my confidence in his ability was well placed. I took the Mandrake Pifis, Seaweed Tonic and PuImonic Syrup, all at one time, as directed by him, and within one month my worst symptoms were gone. went to see the doctor on his next visit to Boston, which was one month after the first time saw him. and he said Only continue with the medicine and you will surely get we'll" I did so, and kept on gaining in every way until I was perfectly well, and able to work as usual Since my recovery have not lost days time, except when I have made friendly visits ts to the appetite is good, have no headache or pain in my side: Sleep better than ever did in my life, and my lungs are apparently healed as nave no hemorrhages.
 These are the reasons why believe in and re- He did just what he said he would do for me, and believe that owe my life to his medicines and care. FRED F. TRULL.

A peculiar story about an eccentric cook has been going the rounds of the French papers. Felix Duryos, for some years cook in the kitchen of Louis Philippe, died recent ly in Paris. During his lifetime he had amassed pretty considerable fortune, no less than $5O,0 900. This sum he left to his two nephews, but on one condition. They were to place on his tombstone, instead of the usual high-fown inscription extolling the many virtues of the deceased, brass frame, in which one of his famous cookery recipes written in large characters was daily to be inserted. 'Thus," as the benevolent old man says in his will, "people desirous of instruct ing themselves will be able by paying a visit to the cemetery to gain some most useful in formation" If the nephews did not follow out these instructions, the money was to go to the Assistance Publique." Unfortunate ly for them, the Epitaph Commission will not allow the dying wish of the veteran cook to be executed. So the nephews are going to law.

 A good neighbor is great treasure and is long remembered. A striking illustration of neighborly feeling has just been given by Pennsylvania gentleman who applied for permission to see man hung on the ground that he had once been his neighbor.
 Everybody has had faith in the picture of Washington praying in the woods at Valley Forge, but cold -blooded minister has written to religious paper in such way as to throw great doubt upon the authenticity of the story. He is descendant of the family who owned the house where Washington had his headquarters that memorable winter. He says: "With capacious and comfortable house at his disposal, it is har dly possible that the shy, silent, cautious Washington should leave such retirement and enter the leaf1ess woods in the vicinity of the winter encampment of an army and engage in audible prayer So goes the world. Soon we shall be told that Washington did not tell the truth when asked about that cherry tree.
 Commander-in-Chief Kountz of the Grand Army of the Republic calls the attention of comrades to the report of the Grand Army committee on pensions, with reference to the petition which has been widely circulated for the passage of the bill giving to all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the late war pension of eight dollars month. The committee emphatieally discourages this, giv- ing reasons which are conclusive against it for the present, at least. If this bill should be passed, it would prevent action upon pending bill facilitating the proof of claims, of which, the committee say, fully two hun dred thousand are now delayed from lack of evidence which this bill would supply, and therefore the question is whether eight hun dred thousand able-bodied comrades shall l crowd aside the crippled and infrm, the wid- ows and orphans.
