The CITY WINs.-The mandamus
proceedings in the case of the city VS..
the W., y. & Mt. V. Ry. Co., to compel
the railway company to lay grooved
rails on King street, came up before
Judge Nicol of the Circuit Court this
morning, and after hearing exhaustive
arguments by Judge Norton and Mr..
G. l.. Boothe for the city and Judge
Jere Wilson, A. A. Lipscomb and ]. T..
Cation for the company, the Court this
evening decided in favor OF the city.
-Four of the five issues in the case, as
to facts, as heretofore stated, were de-
cided by jury on Wednesday night
last IN favor OF the company; but, al.
though these issues We're so decided.
Judge Nicol today held that the con-
troll OF the streets ny the City Council
was q governmental power on their part :;
that the court had no power to take
away the authority of the City Council
unless an ordinance was passed by
fraud or was SO unreasonable
and oppressive as to have the
appearance of having been passed
by fraud; that the City Council was the
best Judge OF what is requisite in the
matter of public improvements, and
that they have full power and control
over the city streets.
The railway company noted an az
peal.

fessed his guilt and told where the
pouch could be found in Mr.. Patter
sons cellar. He also said that be open
al the letters in the cellar and burned

The farmers OF the country have
been the largest benefi Charles of the
marvellous export trade of the past
year More than $50 million dollars
worth otthe Years exports were the
products of the farm. BreadstUff-,
cotton, provisions, live animals, tobsc.
co and fruits supplied the great bulk
of the $50 million dollars worth of
their products which went abroad
during the year, breadstuff5 being the
largest in value, cotton second, pro-
visions third, live animals fourth and
tobacco fifth. In no earlier year in
our history has the expol tation of
products OF agriculture been as large,
the total for the year surprising by
more than 100 million dollars that of
the great export years of 81 and '92 /.

Two Important Currents.

At the mouth of the Gulf OF Mexico
are two currents one, the great, warm
current that flows ont Of the Gulf of
Mexico, aud carries the inspiring
warmth all along our coast, and then,
spreading out in fsn-hke form. bathes
all the shores Of Europe, and carries
the fig and olive aud the grape where
ever it goes; the other, the cold cur
rent flowing down from tie AT
Ocean into tie Gulf of Mexico. So
in life there are two currents flowing
in opposite directions, the cold and
the warm. Which way is your life
carrying YOU? Are you carrying in
your mind and heart the arctic or The
the tropic zone: flowing with the love
OF God in your soul, to bless what yer
life you touch or h2wing with the
cold, cold current OF selfishness, never
to bless, unless hero or hereafter the
warm light that cones ON The sun
above, transforms and renews your
spirit.--Lymsn Abbott, d. D.
