A Most Remarkable Case.

One Of the most remarkable cases In the
history Of Tennessee jurisprudence came
up at Nashville last week, when the
Supreme Court issued an alternative
writ of mandamus to compel Judge J. M.
Anderson, of the Davidson County Grim
inal Court, to sign the bill of exceptions
in the case of John Hale, under sentence
of death for murder. When Hale's attor-
neys submitted the bill of exceptions to
Judge Anderson, a disagreement arose
as to some statements of facts relative to
the evidence. The result was that Judge
Anderson changed some statements and
modified others. He notified Hale's at
torneys, and they applied to the Supreme
Court for relief, with the above result.
On the result hinges the life of Hale. 1t
is believed that it is the first case of the
kind ever seen in Tennessee.

notice the next morning that Dink
want talkin any politics to speak of.
He didn't say much one way or the

had rubbed the hair the wrong way.
"Soon as after breakfast Gus called
for his horse and lit out for the Flat
Woods, and we didn't hardly wait for
him to git out of sight before we got
around Dink and put in naggin at him

him and his fayorite for congress. After
SO long time he come out with it like

Globe of salt Larger Than the Noon

According to the computations OF
NJ. Marlborough, of the Geographical
and Statistical Society of Paris, the
amount of salt contained in the waters
of the various oceans and salt seas of
the globe would be greater in mass
than the land. so far as it extends
above the surface of the waters. The
seas cover seventy. three per cent. OF
the earth's surface, estimated at $780,
900 square miles. The percentage of
salt is the same at all depths. Assum-
ing that the average depth of oil seas
and oceans is but half mile (it is
probably more than twice that) then
there are not less than 3, 400, 900 cubic
miles of sea water on tho globe.
Thousands OF tests of sea water have
recently been made, and as result of
these different analyses it is now posi-
lively known that cubic mile OF sea
water contains Mt least twenty five
kilograms OF salt. This being tho
case, we find that the total amount OF
salt contained IN 3, 400, 600 cubic miles
of sea waters on the globe would be
equal to SO, 900 cubic miles cf pure
distilled salt. Years ago Baron Hum
boldt declared that the salt in the
waters OF our oceans, conld it be ex.
tracted, would make globe larger
than the moon.
