Tho rule laid dowa by the Supreme
Court recently in the canned corn case,
that sale BY sample does not include
warranty Of the quality Of tho goods,
which caused much discussion at tho
time it was made. was again called iuto
service yesterday, in the case of
Samuel Stern vs. August Bicklcr, q
suit on a uoic given for shcepskius,
in which the plaintiff obtained
verdict Of S2,462 10. Judge Pcircc
before whom tho suit was tried, in
charging the jury said:


When man is shown goods and
buys them, he does so on bis own ro-
sponsibility. II he buys by sample it
is tho equivalent of an affirmative on
tho part of tho seller that the goods arc
Of tho samo kind as tho sample, aud it
is not guaranty of tho quality, but
simply that they are the same kind Of
goods. It appears that The defendant
here examined as mauy Of the skins Us
he thought proper and then asked if
il they were all like those he saw Us
sample. and the reply was that they
were al like that. II tho sale was by
sample il comes within that principle
that saie by sample is not warranty
Of the quality Of the goods, but merely
an allegation that the goods are Of the
same kind Of the sample. If tho de-
fendant wanted to bc secured, there
was very simple way Of guaranteeing
the sale. The purchasing party had
simply said to tho seller. "Do you guar
antec those goods to bo Of tho quality
you arc selling =" II the seller says II
do, " that is guaranty. It is 40 cx-
press guaranty of the quality, bat wheu
q sale is made without such express
understanding the parties arc not tliablc
for tho quality of tho goods if they
prove difercls from what it is suppos-
ed they were. Another way in which
the seller may become responsible fer
the quality of the goods is where ho
afirms them to be Of certain quality.
even if he does not guarantee them
and knows at the time that he is max
ing a false representation concerning
them.

Of death, and that in both warm and

wears US out. This temperature, called

the advent of q severe Winter is really
more to be dreaded than o visitation of
pestilence. The saying, " Heat is life,
cold is death, has striking illustration
and confirmation In the reports now
regularly submitted by DR.. Russell to the
Glasgow Sanitary Committee. The death
rate rises and falls with the regularity of
the thermometer. So many degrees less
heat, 80 many more deaths, and vice
versa. In one of his fortniehtly reports
DR.. Russell says: "The death rate in
first week OF the fortnight was twenty
one, in the second twenty-five. The
mean temperature in the former week
was 48 degrees Fahrenheit, in the latter
80 5 degrees" He attributed the low
rate of the first week to the high mean
temperature of the preceding fortnight,
which was 47.03 degrees and adds
"This is good illustration of law
which We frequently observe in these
reports Of temperature and death rates
shat week of low temperature produces
a rise in mortality the week following" E"
In our climate il would probably be
difficult to find more frequent cause OF
serious ailments than taking cold. What
ever weak place we have, whatever con-
s.itntional disorder va be subject to,
GOLD will surely discover. We take cold
because our vitality is too low to ward
of the effects Of the reduced temperature
around US.

Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, opposed the
second section of the bill and said the Sec

The Georgia Legislature has to face the
unpleasant task of increasing either the debt
of the State or the rate of taxation. This
State has probably been as prosperous as any
in the South, but the taxable value of proper
ty has fallen off about twenty millions in two
years, so that it is now 1926, ,71s. The
State tax is one-half Of one per cent, so that
the receipts from this source are almost 800,
600 less than when the last Legislature was
in session. Besides this, 100000 of the
bonded debt will mature before the meeting
of the next General Assembly. The issue of
a short five per cent. loan is advised, because
the credit Of the State is in condition to
warrant it.

THIS is the view the Hartford Courant
takes: The elections of Tuesday have re-
versed the presidential outlook for 1878. If
the Republican party is fortunate enough to
keep what it has won, the Democrats with
their ''solid South" will still be in the mi
nority. The Republicans have only to keep
the standard of national honesty advanced,
and force their opponents in the North and
West, to take their sides. The Democratic
party is in dilemma from which it will
hardly be able to extricate itself, unless some
new and unexpected national question should
overshadow the question of honest money.
II the party surrenders to the Nationals, it
will lose the East, and if it fails to surrender
it will lose the West. There is little danger
OF the Greenback party going out of existence.
To be sure it is not able to show many ma
terial gains, except in numbers, but in two
years it has increased its vote in Connecticut
from $50 to $500, and It has this advantage
over the Democratic party that it has princi-
spies which it is willing to avow and fight for.
1t has gained a position where it can dictate
terms to the Democratic party which cannot
safely be rejected by that party. The Demo-
Gratis must choose between the Thurman idea
and the Bayard idea, with the probability
that which ever course they take will result
In defeat.

A New York paper gives an account of
two romantic passages in the life of Henry
NJ. Stanley, the African explorer. Before
going on his second expedition to Africa he
fell in love with a beautiful girl in New
York, and thought his passion returned.
At Zanzibar he received letter informing
him that the lady had been married several
months, and this intelligence wounded him
to the heart.


This, however, was Mr.. Stanley's second
love affair. He had experienced previous
disappointment, but it had not deeply
wounded him. CHANGING to be on the
island Of Crete, he saw from his window a
Greek maiden in the garden of the oppo-
site house, and at once felt that his fate
was sealed. She was about fifteen years
old, and Mr.. Stanly has since declared that
never before or since has he beheld SO
sweet and beautiful creature. He at once
sought out the American Consul and re-
vealed to him the state of his heart. The
Consul, who had himself married a Greek
lady, bade him not despair; took him
forthwith to the house of his inamorata
and presented him to her mother, who was
widow. Stanley could speak no Greek
the mother no English; the Consul was the
interpreter. He did his work SO we'll that
at the end of half an hour the maiden was
sent for. Stanley was forbidden even to
touch her hand; but he convsrsed with
her with his eyes, and they soon under.
stood each other well. At the end of q
week he was an accepted lover; at the end
of a fortnight the day for the wedding ar
rived. All this while he had seen the
young lady once a day, always in the pres

the wedding he had been permitted for the
| first time to take her hand and imprint
upon it chaste salute.

Stanley was dressed for the ceremony anC
was awaiting the happy moment. There
