A Texas Huntress.
Memphis Avalanche.

Memphis Avalanche.
Mrs. John +. Sedwick, of Waco. Tex.
is visiting her brother, Maj. George NJ.
Helm, of Helm Station, Miss. The
major is somewhat Of a sportsman, and
likes nothing better than to take dogs
and gun and sally forth in search of
whatever game, big or small. he can
bag. He is good shot, but his sister is
equally expert, and she is at once the
wonder and admiration Of Washington
county for her proves with the breech-
loader.
Day after day bird-shooting parties
were organized during her visit, and at
the close of each days sport the lady
had invariably more birds to her credit
thar he brother, the major, or any of
his friends, and she gained them hon
eStly, for, like a true sportsman or
sportswoman, she scorned to take them
other than on the wing.
On Monday last grand deer hunt, to
which many of the neighborlng gentry.
Sportsmen all OF them, were invited,
was organized. After breakfast the gay
party started out big with expectancy
and determined not to return without
some token of their proves. The
canebrakes reached, the dogs were
turned loose, the various hunters took
their respective islands" at points
where the deer would naturally seek
to escape the drive, and waited in
patience.
Soon the baying of the hounds an
nounced that game had been started,
and the hunters concealed themselves,
awaiting with that suppressed eager
ness known only to the sportsman for a
sight of their prey.
AS luck would have it the dogs had
started fine buck, which sought to es-
cape. running toward the stand guard
ed by Mrs. Sedwick and her brother.
On he came with bounding leaps, flying
from the visible and audible foes in the
rear, all unconscious of the hidden
danger in front Of him.
Coolly. with no sign of ''buck ague,"
and sWithout a tremor of nervousness,
the lady, bringing her weapon into DO
sitiOn, took quick but steady aim. The
major, albeit his accomplished sister
had demonstrated her skill as a
bird shooter, doubling her ability
to bring down the nobler game, got
ready his weapon, but before he could
bring it to bear Mrs. Sedwicl1 pulled the
trigger, there was puff of smoke, re-
port, and the magnificent four-point
buck, with one leap in the air, fell dead.
The shot was the signal that brought
together the scattered hunters. The
days hunt was declared over. The
game was taken home, dressed and
eaten in merry feast given in the

pany. respondent VS.. Alfred Thompson ct
al, appellants. Order affirmed.
DICKINSON, j.
By the terms of a written contract be-
tween the parties the defendants were
constituted the plaintiffs agents for the
sale OF its harvesting machines and
binding Irvine. The contract contained
minute provisions relating to the
agency and the manner in which it was
conducted, aud was obviously intended
to embody the whole contract of the
parties relating to the subject, so that
proof of further contempOraneOuS agree
ments, made orally, would be inadmss-
able. The contract also gave to the de-
PENDANTS the election To purchase the
Irvine at specified price. instead of
taking it for sale under the agency.
Held, that as 10 that matter, the written
contract must be deemed to embody the
whole of the agreement then made. so
as to exclude proof by parOl of a war
ranty of the quality of the Irvine.

TREES AND SHRUBS.

To the Editor of the Globe.
There is no greater refining influence
in nature than that impaired in the cul
tivation of the beautiful in tree, shrub

are more closely bound TO the sweet and
pure ties of home, if that home is sur
rounded by trees. shrubs and we'll kept
flower beds. Contrast such a home
with the one where the bare walls
without climbing plants and the bar
rem yard invite the searching rays of
the summer sun to ScOrciI and almost to
blind and the bleak winds of winter to
shrek and howl about the house. with
no friendly trees to raise their
arms in mute protection. We have
asked of you the contrast and shall
await your decision. We have scarcely
begun to realize the commercial value
OF such an investment to our homes as
tree planting. We know if any keen
business man in any large city would

He buys a tract of land in the suburbs
of some rising city, cuts 1t into liberal
sized lots, drives stakes for house, and
Immediately plants the grounds with
some fruit and ornamental trees. shrubs

neighbor of the locality to care for them.

business men are men of taste, and
would be glad to improve and beautify
their grounds, but are so much occupied
with business and its cares that they
have neither time nor disposition to find
out what they really do want in the

A CHICAKSAW WIFE,
And Her Devotion to a Husband
Now Confined in the Ohio Peni-
fanfi3pV

Tertiary.
Ohio State Journal.
1t is an exceptional day in the penl-
Tertiary that does not afford to the re-
porter good news item. Every twenty
four hours events happen, and scenes
are presented within the walls of the
big institution of only ordinary interest
to the newspaper man: but if portrayed
iii print awaken the concern of many
readers.
Yesterday afternoon an affecting
spectacle was to be observed in the
meeting Of Il United States prisoner and
his youthful wife, who is a Chlckasaw
woman and the daughter of a chief of
this noted Indian tribe.
The story connected with their his
tory is tinged with romance. Seven
years ago John Trout, of Parkersburg,
W. Va, a young farmer, went to the
West and drifted into the Indian terri
tory. He became enamOred with the
charms of the daughter of ChickaSaW
chief by white woman and married
her. She had been educated in an Ill
dian school and was woman of many
accomplishments. Under the provisions
of the law Trout was permitted to re-
main in the territory, and he titled the
5000 acres of land brought to him by
his wife. All went well until 1888.
when Trout and half-breed living next
to him had quarrel. They both met at
the agency one day. Both drew their
revolvers, but the West Virginian was
the quickest, and the ChIckasaw was
killed. 1t was a clear case Of self-de-
Tense, but the Indians disliking Trout
insisted on his punishment.
He was tried at Ft. Smith and SEN
fenced to nine years i'll the penitentiary.
When he was brought over here, over
two years ago. his wife followed. She
sold considerable of her land, and has
devoted all her time and money in an
effort to secure the pardon of her huS-
band. For a year past she has been
employed in the dressmaking establish
ment OF High street dry goods store,
but since Jan. has been in Washington
city. She returned yesterday, discour-
aged aud heart-brOken, to tell her hus-
band there was 10 chance for clemency
at present, and they must live on in
hope that the president may yet see the
case in different light.
The woman is fair looking, and the
only features indicating her race are
the color of her hair and complexion.
She speaks English without a defect,
and is Il pleasing cOnverSationaliSt. She
has called on the president several
times, and says the opposition of Hon.
Powell Clayton, who was United States
district attorney, and prosecuted her
husband, was what overcame her APP

DI, KINsoN, j.
A contract for the sale of land. at the
making of which part of the price was
paid. provided that if the title should
not be good and should be refused by
the purchaser the contract should be
void and the money paid should be re-
turned; but it also allowed a specified
time for curing defects in the title.
Held, that the contract did not obi
gate the vendor to cure defects in his
title, even though he might be able to
do so. If his title. being imperfect.
were not accepted, he might terminate
the contract, repaying the purchase
money received.
Evidence held sufficient to Justify
finding that the purchaser refused to
accept an incumbered title, and hence a
tender of deed by the vendor was not
necessary.

DICKINSON, j.
III an action to recover the price paid
for town bonds sold to the plaintiff by
the defendants as agents of that town,
the plaintiff based his right of recovery
on the theory, alleged in his complaint
as fact, that the law authorizing the
execution of the bonds was unconstitu-
tional. The court so ruled at the trial,
and this was acquiesced in. Held that,
on appeal, the plaintiff will not be
heard to contend to the contrary, as a
reason for reversal. The plant

knowing that they were issued
pursuant to special statute 10 raise
money to lie expended for the purpose
therein stated; that the agents receiving
the price of the bonds would so eXpend
the money for purpose not beneficial
to them. Held, that after the agents
had thus expended the money received
for the bonds they were not personally
liable, even though the bonds were void
by reason of the statute being unconsti-
tutional. Evidence held to justify
granting new trial as to two of the de
endants, under the rule in Hicks VS..

within reasonable time fixed by the
court, payment be made of all which
may be due at such time, including a

Acceptance by the vendor during
