A Check Is Not Casl. Payment.
Scientific American.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota
has lately rendered a decision of much
interest to the business community
in declaring that bank checks are not
cash, and do not possess legal value as
money until cashsd. In other words
the giving OF check on bank is not d
payment when passed between debter
and creditor, but only becomes 50 when
the money is received on it.
The Court holds that in accepting
a check from debtor there is no legal
presumption that the creditor takes
1t in absolute payment, but only con-
sditionafly, or as written acknowledge
ment of the debt. Where goods are
sold for cash on delivery and the pur-
chaser tenders payment in a check or
draft on his banker, such payments is
only conditional, and the delivery of
the goods, If made, is also conditional.
If the check is dishonored ON presenta-
tion, the seller may retake the. goods
for the purchase money, even from the
possession OF third or innocent party
unless it can be shown that the seller
has been guilty Of such negligence as
would stop him from recovering the
equity.
This decision is among the first
rendered by higher courts that is so
far-reaching, and if supported by other
high tribunals, will settle a mooted
question in commercial circles. The
same principle has been applied to un.
paid notes by one or two courts, which
have held that the seller does not lose
his lien, for purchase money, on goods
sold, until he receives the actual cash,
and may retake at any time prior
therto if the Indebtedness be not met
at maturity.

The Irish nationalist party has
divided, on account of Mr.. Parnell in
the O'Shea divorce case. The English
and Scotch under Mr.. Gladstone's
leadership, would no longer hold to
Mr.. Parnell /; and this necessitated q
change in the leadership of the Irish
wing. Mr.. Parnell would not resign,
and resisted deposition. A majority
OF the Irish members OF parliament
organized an opposition party with Mr..
Mccarthy as leader. There will be an
appeal to the Irish voters, majority
Of whom will probably support Mr..
Parnell. Mr.. Gladstone will be COM
PEELED to ally himself with the Irish
minority. Thus Ireland will prac'
tically be left without representation
in parliament, and Irish liberty OF
self-government will be as far off as
ever. Unless the Irish settle their
differences among themselves, which
involves the abolition Of Boss rule, Sc
as to have united party in parlia-
ment, they might just as well give up
all hope Of home rule.

the lotteryites may choose they are
impaled. If the 1--WE" means the lot
terry, then Pinchback and Baldwin and
Herwig and Morris are to dictate the
Democratic platform in 1892; if it
means the Lottery League, then this
ST. Mary Republican and the other
Republicans in the league are TO have
a share in and assist at the framing of
a platform OF principles which Demo:
Gratis must support or bolt. 1t is to
this complexion that the lottery re-
duces politics in Louisiana, and those
who follow and support it and join its
league are working, not only to turn
the State over to the Republicans, but,
according to the secretary's letter, to
even surrender to these same Repub-
licans the control of the Democratic
party, which saved the State in the
past, and in which alone lays the hope
OF its salvation in the future.

Several Baptist Associations in this
State have pronounced strongly against
the lottery. The Methodist Confer
ence held at Monroe last week, I'M
animously adopted resolution me-
morializing Congress for an amend
ment to the Federal constitution pro-
hibiting lotteries. The national Farm
ers' Union, in session at Ocala, Flori-
da, has unanimously passed a similar
resolution. The newspapers of the
United States, with scarcely an ex-
ception outside Of Louisiana, are op-
posed to the lottery. Yet the papers
in Louisiana, that support the lottery,
seem to think it is a good thing. 1t
may be so, for them but the rest Of
mankind are Of different opinion.

Last Sunday night, in Chataignier,
Ferius Fontenot was at Fabius Vi
drine's. When about to 60 home, he
went to get his horse hitched near by,
while some one waited to hand him
some bundles. As he did not return,
the person waiting went after him, and
found him lying near his horse, COM
planning Of severe pain in his abdomen.
He was taken on a mans back to a
neighbor's, and had warm bricks and
bottles applied to him. He still COM
iained OF severe pain in the abdomen,
and drank toddy for relief he died
almost instantly. 1t is supposed that
his horse kicked him.

The very men in the Legislature
who worked the hardest to get the
Lottery bill through, worked equally
as hard to get the bills passed creating
new Levee Districts, and they had a
purpose in view. They wanted taxes
increased to such an extent that those
opposed to Morris proposition would
be eager to accept it in order to escape
paving more taxes. The tricks Of the

sublime.-Town Talk.

A Philharmonic majestic
With manners most refined,
Their actions aesthetic,
Their leader we'll defined,
With music celestial,
And song most sublime,
The tones from orchestral,
And Muse most divine.
When the element Arcadian
Consumed all to cinders,
Could not hear the Eolian,
By eating roast pinders,
Their manners corrupted,
With intellect void,
Intrusive and vulgar,
The object was spoiled.
Such elements hinder
All ways of progression,
And majestic Philharmonic
Was left their possession.

The firm Of v. & A. Meyer, New Or
leans, suspended business Friday after
noon last week. The assets are es-
timated at $3.0OO,O0O; liabilities at
81, 100000. The failure is attributed
to the firms inability to raise money
on the assets. Taking plantations for
debt, is supposed to be one Of the main
causes of the failure, as that kind OF
property is useless for commercial pur-
poses
