An Important Law Case.
Monroe County Snn.I


 The ease of the Postal Telegraph and Cable Co. Vs. the Arkansas Mid land Railroad Co occupied two days in the circuit court here last week the jury rendering its verdict after the Sun had gone to press last Fri day afternoon.
 The Postal Co. is putting mp line of telegraph all over Arkansas and sought to condemn part of the Midland right of way to it's own use. The company at the last term of court was required to deposit several thousand dollars with the circuit clerk of this county as n guar antee of the payment of whatever damages should be awarded the rail- road in the suit then pending. It did not wait for the suit to be dis posed of, but went E head with it's lines, and had them in working order between this point and Helena before the converting of the present term of court. The Midland claimed damages to the extent of $17 .500. The jury that tried the case warded the railroad $500
 Much interest was taken in the case because the Postal Go. is virtually forcing it's way through the country despite every possible opposition. It is the only rival the Western Union Co. has that is worthy the name, and the people everywhere are in sympathy with it because its coming to a town guar antees to them a prompt and cheap telegraphic service with every possi- ble eoutesy. This, as everybody knows. is not characteristic of the Western Union where ithas no oppo- sition.
 The case was stubbornly contested far the precedent that the decesion would establish. each side being anxious To secure the prestige a favorable yardiet would give them.

 Mir. Lincoln never forgot or overlook ed his obscure relations. The death or his father in 1851 took from earth the last of lis own immediate relatives, but he was as careful and thoughtful of his stepmother and step brothers and sisters as if they were of the same blood. An incident which occurred in the summer of 1856 illustrates most yiyidly this par ticular trait of character. At the time named crippled boy who was assisting man in driving horses from the south ern part of the state stopped overnight in Champaign. While there he visited 8 shop kept by an old man named Green and managed to steal a watch. The theft was discovered the next day, and the boy was duly apprehended and brought back. He was taken before a magistrate and after examination, ill default of bail, committed to jail to await the action or the grand jury. Meanwhile he kept in- quiring for Mr. Lincoln, insisting that he wanted him to defend him.
 Some time after this Lincoln came to Urbana to make a speech one evening, and just before the meeting began called his friend Whitney to one side. 'There IS boy in your jail, 2" he whispered, "whom I must see, and l don't want any one to know it except ourselves. l wish you would arrange with the jailer to go there on the sly after the meeting and let us in ' To Whitney's surprise, he learned that the boy was Thomas Lincoln Johnston, the son of John D. Johnston, Mir Lipeoln's stepbrother. After the meeting. ? continues Whit ney, we went down to the jail, rude log cabin structure, to which prisoners were aaaiitted through q trapdoor in the aeeond story, there being no other entrance. We were quietly admitted in- to the small inclosure surrounding the jail, aDd as we approached the one foot square hole through which we could converse with the prisoner he heard us and set up a pitiful waiIing, thrusting out to Us a dark looking object, which proved to be very dirty copy of the Bible which Lincoln took and slowly and mechanically turned the leaves. He is already under charge of stealing a gun at Charleston, whispered Lin-
