 This is an enlargement of the charter of he city, and seems to me too rzmote- ly related, if at all, to the purpose of the statute to be embraced within it's title. The evil to be obviated by the section of the constitution to which the eleventh clause of this act is obnoxious has been frequently exprsssed in judicial opin- iorlel It is but fair to members of lne 1egisla ture, as we'll as the general pub- lie, that statutes should rot contain mat ter forsigra to their purpose as it appears from the title. Would any one reading "an act to establish am inferior court of criminal jurisdiction in the city of Bir- mingham, to define its polwers, and pro- vide for the elecion of judge and ap- pointment Of clerk thereof" be put upon nC'tica that a convict system was to be established for the ci.y of BrmirS- ham? Might he n1- reasonably omit reading the td1l upon the assumption that nothing was contained in it except what was fairly necessary to effecl luate it's pur-
 
 penal system was incorporated in 1t which operat ed as a repeal of a pre-ex- iuting law?
 No universal and accurate rule has ever been laid down by wh5eh It may be certainly determined when the section of the constitution now before me has been ViotsL cd. The carzns of construction uron the subject are ve.y liberal but necessarily general, and the question of whether 3, particular eict falls unClsr con- 0 T q l11s-k fta T upon the process Of req sontng adopted by the judge wiho decides it. ITO my mind it Is clear hate the clause of the act under which the mayor ard aldermen entered into tha contract with the Sloss Iron and Steel company, by which the defanda nt is held 53a custody, is urconstl tutional and hat the petitioner is entitled to his discharge.

MERELY NOMINAL.

The Budget Saunterer's friend, the
doctor, has retired from practice. A
few years ago he inherited large for
tune, and since then his time has been
so occupied managing his estates thai
it is impossible for him to continue bis
professional work. Not only has he
taken in his shingle, but he also dis
courages the practice of calling him
"doctor," so that in his neighborhood
the title has been generally dropped
However, every few days the Irish
maid-of.all. work, when she answers
the doorbell, has to explain that
though the proprietor of the establish
ment is duly graduated physician
he is not at present practicing his pro.
fession, and does not wish to respond
to calls for his medical skill.
1t happened that one day there ap'
peared at the door a caller of very
different kind. He was the agent Of
some religious society, anxious rather
to bleed others than to be bled them
selves. So, naturally, he was eager
to post himself as to the church rela
tions of his proposed subject in order
to make the appeal more effectual.
His first question began in the usua
way:
"Is-er-Mr. Hammersleigh al
home ?"
"Sure an he is, sorr."
"Can you tell me whether or not he
is a Christian ?"
ITO Bridget this was something of
poser, but she rose supremely to the
occasion with her accustomed answer
"Sure, an he is, yer honor. But he's
not practicing it lately"

which we found to amount to 124
killed, wounded and missing out of
400 men.
So ended our attempt. There was
material in the command, both in
officers and men, which would have
insured success had that been within
the range of human endeavor. Five
thousand men could not have captured
the fort that night.
GENERAL BEAUREGARD'S OPINION.
After the war General Beauregard
wrote me some letters on the subject
of the attack. He said, among other
things, to give me an idea of the full
preparations for defence on the eighth :
"Sumter had been reinforced, and
when attacked contained $50 men.
One of our ironclads had been ordered
to take up a position to sweep the
approaches to. the gorge with canister
and grape. The guns in the shore
batteries were loaded and trained upon
the approaches to the fort, and the
men were ordered to stand by their
guns, lockstring in hand. At the given
signal of rocket from the fort, all the
batteries were to open." And further
eff our guns had not opened so soon
and fired so rapidly, we would have
captured or destroyed your whole
command" This is true.
Only one other attack was made in
boats upon Fort Sumter. I find in the
memoirs" of Admiral Dahlgren, un.
der date of November 20, 1868, the
following:
"Last night the army undertook to
feel the force in Sumter, and sent
200 men in boats for that purpose,
About 80 yards from the fort dog
barked and aroused the garrison, which
fired, wounding two of our men. A
few shots were fred by the fort, and
then there was quiet"
This was the last demonstration oi
the kind attempted against Sumter
and the Confederate flag waved over
its ramparts until the fall of Charleston

battles of the Civil war had brought
him under suspicion of cowardice,
used to declare, ~ didn't run away

man heard the oft-repeated expla-
nation. "Well, my FRIEND" he said,
looking steadily at the hero of the
retreat, "you say you retreated in
good order, but I should like to ask
one thing: About how fast did you

NOTICE..
IT'S A MYS Terry

TITO us how the OW NERS OF HORSES
l. AND MULES can expect their stock
to do good service, thrive and be comfor-
table, with the kind of SHOEING that is
in general vogue in this section. The
idea seems to be that anybody can set and
drive on shoes; but the idea Is erroneous.
There is not more than one "shoer' in
five that understands his business, and,
besides, there are some who know how
that do not do as well as they know. A
Horse or Mule is uncomfortable and suf-
fers from ill-fitting shoes the same as an
individual does; at least that is what the
leading veterinary surgeons say about it,
and the statement seems reasonable.

THE WAYS OF A NEW COUNTY.

Having been introduced to the sher'
if, as 1 waited in the postoffce, that
official kindly asked me to 60 around
and take a look at the Jail. On the
way over he explained that it was q
new county and financially poor, ]
couldn't expect to find anything like
an eastern Jail.
The "institution" proved to be a
long, low structure built Of planks,
with wooden bars nailed across the
windows. The sheriff IS family occu.
pied one end of the building, and
there were accommodations for a
dozen prisoners in the other. AS we
entered the place we found one of the
prisoners seated on a nail keg and
smoking his pipe in the most content
ed manner.
"Well, Bill" said the sheriff, show
are you getting on ?"
"Tip top, Mr.. sayles," replied Bill
sT'm getting on so we'll that wouldn't
20 with the rest of 'em."
"Has anybody got out this after
noon ?"
ayes that boss thief pried the bars
off a back window and skipped"
"Did, eh? Anybody else?"
ayes that freight car robber dug
under the floor and took walk soon
after dinner" -,
$50 he's gone, tool Anybody else ?"
"Yes that slim, cockeyed chap who
was in fur cow thievin' said he was
homesick and battered off a plank
and started fur home"
"I suspected he wanted to get out.
Anybody else ?"
3Yes; that lame cuss who was in
fur settin' fire to haystacks got mad
because beat him five straight games
of euchre, and said he'd be burned
if he hung around any longer in sich
company. He busted the lock and
went out o. the front door,"
"Why, that takes 'em all but you -
said the sheriff, after counting up on
his fingers.
eyes, all but me, Mr.. Sayles."
"And what are you staying for ?"
"Board and lodgings and the COM
forts of home, Mr.. Sayles. was sent
here fur three months and hev got
nine weeks to put in, an hain't goin'
to throw up my job to look fur anoth'
er."
"Bill," said the sheriff, after looking
at the man for half minute: 81 took
YOU for a mean and ungrateful critter
when I first set eyes on you, and now
I know that 1 didn't make any mis-
take. You can stay, of course, but let
me. say if you do you won't get but
two meals day, and those will be
mighty slim. This is new county,
and she's $4,000 in debt, and the idea
of keeping this Jail open to accommo-
date a lop. .shouldered, red-headed var
mint who only stole 50 hog, makes
me hopping mad. Bill, you've got to
git !"
"Then gimme quarter to git on ~
"Here it is, and don't you dare to
come back at night and break your
way in here!"
He held the door open and Bill
walked out, and after the prisoners
was out of sight the official muttered
"She's new county and $4,000 in
debt, and this cleaning out the Jail
will save her So a day. The cheek
of that man to hang around here and
expect to be lodged and fed at public
expense !''-M. Quad.
