what True Merit VIII DO.

The unprecedented sale Of Boschee's
German Syrup within q few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectnai
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung Troubles. It acts OIL an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by Physicians, as it does
not dry up the Cough and leave the dis
ease still IN the system, but on the con-
trary removes tho canse of the trOuble,
heals the parts affected and leaves them
in u purely healthy condition. A bottle
kept IN the house for use whom these dis
eases make their appearance, will save
doctors bills and . long spell Of aerious
illness. A trial will convince you Of these
facts. 1t IL positively sold by all drng-
gists and general dealers in the land.

Officers, Read This.

We copy from the Yazoo Sentinel
the excellent opinion of Judge
Wharton, in the case oil r. F. Shell,
who shot and killed John Irwin.
while the latter was attempting tt,
evade arrest for a misdemeanor.
The opinion is one of great inpor,
lance to peace cffices, who 80 CON
stantly misapprehcnd the law upon
this question, and very often indeed
unwillingly attempt to do that
which would be simple murder.
The opinion is az follows:
The point in the above case was
that an officer has no right to kill
when making and arrest for
misdemeanor unless the party
offers actual resistance. The TACT
that be may he escaping simply,
will not justify the officer in taking
his life. When one has committed
felony and is attempting to escspe
the officer in order TO prevent the
escape may kill him and the law
would justly him in the act, but
If the party is charged with simply
3 mis.lemeanor she law says it is
better for him TO escape than to take
his Lille. When one charged with a
mistiemaan"r attempts TO escape
and the officer shoots him with the
intention Of killing him and does
kill him, lie is guilty Of murder,
but il he shoots not with the in
tention OF killing. but simply t" pre-.
vent his escape, he is guilty Of man
slaughter. A felony is an ofEense
punished with death or confinement,
in the penitentiaYy: . misdemesno,
il IN ofi.nse punishable by 6ne or
imprisonment in the county Jail.
It 10 not understood that an officer
hes no right TO kill . party charged
with = misde meanor, II such killing
be necessary TO overcome resistance
10 the officer mskine the arrest
The law is that the officer has the
right to pursue the party and il
the party should turn upon the officer
and offer resistance, then il it be ne.
cessary TO overcome such resistance
70 kill, the officer would be justified

the old Great Eastern shaft was
made To drive the engine that

barharous cannibsls in the Feejee
Islands, that he was soon set upon
and slain, butchered aud CHARTERED
and elaborate preparations made for
grand feast. All Of the dig.
aitsries Of the tribe were invited,
and there was stewed missionary,
roast missionary, bakel missionary,
missionary Jrickassee ETC., and all
gathered around the festal board to
enjoy the gospel feast. Now it so
happened that this missionary had
never read the Baptist Record, and
he was an inveterate consumer OF
that noxious American weed called
tobscco ~ which psrmeates every
pore of its victims anatomy. and
there impar.s its offensive odor; so
when the feast was all ready and
duly served With the peculiar eclat
OF the savage, it was found that not
a cannibal had the stomach to eat q
q mouthful--the tobacco odor, to
which they were unaccustomed, was
as strong &c the garlic smell on q
Spaniard's breath.
The missionary therefore had his
revenge True he did not have i,
until after death, but, such as it was
he had it.
