ceives 5000 yearly, and is one OF
the most valuable meE in the diplo.

No sea serpent has been reported

is the story of the discovery of mer.

mariners report that while out in a
boat they saw what they supposed to
be a corpse floating on the water a few
yards fnom their boat. AS they ap-
preached, it assumed q sitting posi-.

Judge Garry of Chicago declares
that witnesses under theprotection OF
his court must be treated with as
much courtesy as they receive under
their own protection elsewhere. If he
enforces this rule it will be a strange
departure from the established usage
under which q lawyer may bully a
witness in court as he wouldnot think
OF doing ng-would not dare to do-else-
where, and it is one Of the strangest
things in the trial of suits that abused
witnesses do not often appeal to the
court for protection, which is almost
always granted.

transmitted to the senate the rcpor,

letter, refers to the claim of the Mex,car
minister here based on the Mexica II
law, whereby Jurisdiction is assumed
by Mexico over crimes committed
against Mexcans in the United
States or any foreign country, and his con.
tention that under the law the publication

The Carleston News and Courier con

The Carleston News and Courier con-
graduates the people of South Caro-
lima on having giving up the dueling
habit for good. No duel has been
fought in the State since the one in
which Colonel Cash killed a most estim-
able citizen who was averse to the
practice, but had not the moral cour-
age to decline a challenge. The tragic
affair had one good effect at least-it
brought duelling INTO disrepute, and
drove the legislature into the enact
ment OF q severe law against all who
engage in it, and there has not been
hostile meeting under the code in South
Carolina since. The News and Courier
says the practice "has been eliminated
from the record OF crimes in South
Carolina.
