| THE PAaE-CLopToS MANDAaUs CASE
THE OPINION OF THE SUPREME COURT.-The
opinion of the Supreme Court as delivered
| at Wytheyille by Judge Burks has been sent
to the clerk OF the court here.


This was can application to the Supreme
Court to issue writ Of n1anda7lus to COM
pei the Honorable William ]. C.opton, judge
of the Hastings Court Of the city Of Man
chester, to sign several bills OF executions
rendered by the rclator. Samuel NJ. Page, to
n Judgment for fine (s15) imposed on him
for an alleged contempt by ms6ehavior in
the presence OF the said court" The learned
Judge occupies twenty legal cap pages in
considering whether the remedy sought is
the proper ore. He decides that 1t is, ands
after reviewing the case, concludes:
"To deny to the relator the right to except
at the time he desired and offered to do so,
and have bis executions embodied in bill
and made part OF the record, so as to en-
able him to have the judgment renewed on
q writ OF error. il applied for and allowed,
would, we think, be harsh and rigorous
application OF the rule as TO the time OF
rendering exceptions not warranted by the
circumstances OF this case.


"The respondent is mistaken is supposing,
rs By the return he seems to have supposed,
| that it was "a matter OF favor to the re-
lator to allow him to except to the judgment
Of the court when he offered to do so on the
9th OF the month. 1t was the realtors alb
solute right then to except, and as clearly
the duty of the respondent to sign a proper
bill OF exceptions, with Il certificate OF the
| facts.


"The bill filed with the return was not
bill rendered by the relator, nor was he
heard or allowed the opportunity OF being
heard in its preparation and settlement.
He has the right OF being heard in the set
tIing of any bill which may be proper in
| the case.


"We are, therefore. Of opinion that the
rule against the respondent should be made
absolute, and that peremptory writ OF
nandamus should be issued directed to the
respondent commanding him on the tender
by the reIator OF bill OF exceptions to the
Judgment rendered against him, il the truth
OF the case be fairly stated in SAID bill, tc
sign it; and ii the truth OF the case be moi
fairly stated therein, to proceed to settle
the same, and when settled to sign it; and
in either case to order the bill, so signed, tc
be made part Of the record in the pro
ccedings which said judgment was reu
dered-and such will he the order OF thu

GoRTscHARoFFis is eighty years old, The


richest man in Russia, and is considered


the most agreeable diTlomatist in
Europe. One reason of his success is


ascribed to the fact that he is not required


to make speeches to the country. The


Pail Mall Gazette says he talks slowly


writes grandiloquently and gives high.
minded reasons for everything he advises
or does. Persons who might have ex-
pected him to explain some torturous
piece of policy on cynical grounds are
staggered by his semblance of perfect
good faith, and by the reassuring
promises which he makes in tone of
stately gentleness, to which his venerable
appearance gives the stamp of wisdom
and truth. His strength is patience; his
talent lies in seizing opportunities the
moment they arrive; and these op.
portunities come through the simplicity
Of the foreigners who trust him.


DR.. BROWN SEQUARD lectured in
Philadelphia recently to large audience
of medical men on "paralysis of the
brain" He said "The views that have
reigned in science for many centuries,
without any objection until now, that
the right eide of the brain moves the left
side of the body, and the vice versa, must
be laid aside as absolutely false. 1t seems
rather singular that any one should come
to you and state that this view should
be laid aside. 1t was stated generally
where there was paralysis in the right
side of the brain it followed to the left
side of the body. My investigation
shows this to be mistake. There are a
great many cases where disease on one
side of the brain will not affect the oppo-
site side of the body, and there are other
cases where disease of one side of the
brain produces disease on both sides of
the body.

1t isa we'll known fact, that every COM
munity is cursed by the presence OF a
class of individuals Who make it their
business tn attend to everybody's affairs
but their own. Such people are the poor
est specimens Of humanity which exist
upon this bright eai,h. 1t is well known
that many are sometimes disposed 10
speak evil of another, and talking is sin
from which very few can claim to be
entirely exempt. But the object Of
this article il To speak OF that distinct
class of tattlers who make tale bear
ing the constant business Of their lives.
They pry into the private affairs
Of every family or party IN the neighbor-
hood, they know the exact state OF one
neighbor's feelings towards another, they
understand everybody faults. They are
well posted on everything connected with
courrship and mstrimony, and know who
are going to marry whom. II you wish
to know why woman is not living with
her husband, they will tie ready 10 give
you information, and if there is the slight.
est chance to create disturbance, or ex-
cite jealousy, they take advantage of it,
and do all in their power to keep people
in constant vexstion. They glide qui-
e,ly from gentleman to lady, from mother
to daughter, from father to son and from
husband to wife, and in the case Of all
they pass their bitter whispers OF SLAM
der and abuse and at the same time pre-
tend to be the most sincere friends OF
those they talk to. Their nauseous pills
of slander are sugar with smiles
and words of friendship.


Tattlers are confined to no particular
class, and they operate in all. We find
them among the rich and the poor, sup
per-ten" and the slower Million" in the
church and out of it. They are people
who have no higher ambition than to be
well uniformed in regard to other people's
private business, to retail scandal to their
neighbors, and to exult in tiendish tri-
umphs over the wounded feelings and
bruised hearts of their innocent victims.

DoN'T Go TO THE CITY.-A member of
Congress lately asserted that there were

Nevertheless, it is true that not only New
York, but all our cities are overcrowded


The tendency is to crowd them still more.
Thousands of young men in the country
are looking forward to the time when they
can go to some large city, and there find
employment. They do not know that
the chances for success in life are far
greater in the country than in the city.
One ont Of hundred in city may be
able to lay up little money, and one
out of two thousand or so may become
weaIthy;a small portion will live in com
paratively comfortable circumstances; the
rest, even if they get and keep constant
employment, are drudges, who work hard,
get poor pay, besides being condemned
to unwholesome diet, and to breathe foul
air. In the country very few men have
an excuse for being wretChedly poor. The
nation would be richer, happier and
better, if the excess Of population in the
cities would remove to fertile farms, either
in New England or in the West, and en-
gage in filling the soil. 1t is an occupa-
tion quite as honorable as selling dry
goods, and far more desirable than the
drudgery or confinement of city life that
wears out the body before old age comes,

 Lie? we'll, sir, he beat any man I ever came across. Told me that once, out in Nevada, mountain lion attacked him, with his mouth wide open. He had the presence of mind enough to grab it by the tongue and pull. The lion roared with pain, but he did his level best pulling, and pretty soon the tongue began to give and the tail to shorten, and directly out they came, the tongue and the tail in one con- tinuous string. He said he had lem at home, and he showed lem to me, but my belief is they were only three or four cow hides and bulls tail dovetailed together
