Judge Dibbie quoted from 6 An. 3l4 to
show that even if the communication was
privileged, malice could be shown. and the
parties were responsible. The liberty
of the press does not include license and
licentiousness. Anything that was calcu-
lated to decrease the respect in which the
plaintiff was held was Gbelous. The di-
rectors were responsible because they had
acted through their responsible agents.

accepted the issue. and sentenced Mr.. Neal
to ten days Imprisonment. Counsel had
petition for writ OF habeas corpus pre-
pared. and in shor: time all parties were
before the Fifth District Court. Judge Gull

the fifth amendment to the constitution of
the United States. which SAYS: ''Nor shall
any person be deprived of life,
liberty or property without due process
of law" Story on the Constitution,

An exchange copies the following correct
and comprehensive answer to the above
question, and urges every Child as well as
grown person to commit it to memory, to
be recited as often as practicable:


q gentleman is not merely person &C
quainted with certain forms and etiquette
of life, easy and self-possessed in society,
able to speak and act and move in the
world without awkwardness, and flee from
habiss which are vulgar and in bad taste.
A gentleman is something beyond this; that
which lies at the root Of all his pleasing is
the same spirit which lies at the root of ev-
cry Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful
desire of doing in every instance to others
as he would that others should do unto
him. Heis constantly thinking, not indeed
how he may give pleasure to others for the
mere sense of pleasing, but how he can
show respect to others-hoW he may avoid
hurting heir feelings. When he is in soci-
ETY., he scrupulously asCertains the position
and relations of every one with whom he
comes in contact, that he may give to each
his due honor, bis proper position. He
studies how he may avoid touching in con-
versation upon any subject which may
needlessly hurt their feelings-hOw he may
abstain from any illusions which may call
up disagreesble or offensive association.
A gentleman never allUdes to, never even
appears conscious of any persons defect,
bodily deformity, inferiority of talent, of
reputation in the person in whose society
he is placed. He never assumes any su-
periority to himself-neVer ridicules, never
sneers, never boasts, never makes display
of his own power, or rank, or advantages
such as is implied in ridicule, or sarcasm,
Or abuse-as be never indulges in habits,
or tricks, or inclnations which may be of
fensive TO others.

name of the harbor in the Sandwich islands
about to be ceded to The United States for

about ten miles from Honolulu. 1t is re-
garded as an excellent harbor, being almost
circular in form and with sufficient dep h
of water. for the largest vessels. The
shores are of coral and somewhat precipi-
tors, whilst the only drawback TO the bay
is coral reef at the entrance. The reef
approaches within from twelve to eighteen
feet Of the surface, and is dangerous in
stormy weather. The channel at the en-
trance of the bay is about two hundred and
sixty yards wide, Of which over ninety
yards are covered by this reef. A shor t
distance inside is an island, after passing
which vessels have ample protection. Ma

press their opinion that the coral reef will
have to be removed to make the harbor

A Woman Torn to Pieces by q Bear ON


Kearney Township Limits.


About seven O'Clock yesterday morning an
italian and his wife, with performing bear, were
seen by the Inhabitants OF Harrison and Kearney
coming through the streets begging pennies, and
they continued so performing through the prln-
cipal streets until they reached the open country
When they were about a mile and a hall from
Kearney, at place called the Bend they stopped
to partake OF some refreshments. The man secured
the bear with chain TO q tree and then told the
woman to prepare what they had, while he would
go and procure some refreshments at house
near by. He was absent about ten minutes.


The bear, although fastened TO the tree, made
start at the unfortunate woman and in less time
than II will take to tell she was feess and her body
torn to pieces by the claws OF the er0cious brute
The husband heard his wife's screams and was
prompt to come to her help, but it was too late
The unfortunate woman was already nothing
but u mangled mass OF flesh and bones
The husband give vent TO his grief so mucn
that 1t was impossible for any one
he was placed. His entreaties were heart rending
indeed; he called upon those present to Kill the
animal, but II was some time before he could be
understood on account OF not being able to speak
the English language; but at last one man named
George Brandt, living In Kearney, went over with
q small rinc and put an end 10 bruin, by shooting
him through the head.

tasted the blood at last, about p. NJ, when

Of race or color, or previous condition ol

We respectfully suggest TO the members
of the Legislature that thorough discussion
should be permitted on every question per-
tanning to so important subject as the
finances of the Safe, and on the determi-
nation of every such question the ayes and
noes should be recorded. Tennessee bonds
are now quoted at over eighty cents in
New York under the impression that this
Legislature, elected unrestricsedly from the
people and By an unrestricted people, in
tended to fund the debt and prepare for q
resumption of payment of interest.
Every resolution passed, or bill
introduced, which looks to hinderipg or
delay Of this purpose, under any pretext
whatever, viii cast cloud upon our integ-
rlty and depreciate our credit. Should
the present General Assembly refuse to
pass plain, practical, emphatic funding
bill, or should they pass one ambiguous in
its terms, f He'd with ifs and butts, and bedged
with doubts, it will be regarded as the first
step toward repudiation. The bonds which
are now worth over eighty cents
on the dollar will go back to
forty-three and q half where they
once stood, and perhaps sink lover,
never TO rise again. There may be specu-
lators Of the Credit Mobilier stripe who
consider this q coDsummation most devout-
ly to be wished, tthey are not members
of the General Assembly, nor are they the


people, who have the honor and prosperity
of Tennessee at heart. Heed them not.

Some one has written beautifully to tie

in the highest degree to both. l do not
mean merely dutiful affection. mean
a love which makes a boy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saying to every
body plainly that he is fairly in love with
her. Next to the love of her husband,
nothing so crowns woman's life with
honor as this second love, this devotion OF
a son to her. And l never yet knew Coy
to qurn out bad who began by falling in
love with his mother. Any man may fall
in love with fresh-fAced girl, and the man
who is gallant with the girl may cruelty
neglect the worn and weary wife. But The
how who is a lover to his mother IN hel
middle age is a true knight, who will love
his wife as much in the sere-leayed
autumn as he did in the daisied spring

We have not examined the authorities
nor have we heard the discussion in the
case of Senator Richardson's alleged ineli-
gibility. We presume, however, that the
Senate could not have taken stronger sc-
ton than it did. We believe it is well set
tied that no member of legislative body
can be called upon in the first Instance TO
prove himself a qualified member ac-
cording 70 the constitution. 1t would
certainly be establishing a bad prec-
dent to institute an investigation
upon mere rumol Or allegation of ineligi-
bility. The Senate is the judge of the
qualification Of its members. But the
veriest criminal has the constitutional right
to demand the nature and cause of the &C
cnsstion against him. Certainly Senator
has the same right. 1t would not bear the
impress of justice or parliamentary wisdom
to reply to such demand with ''whereas

THE New York banks have adopted the
plan of settling balances with clearing
house certificates instead of greenbacks
during the present furry. To the general
public it may be well to explain what this
action signifies. In time like the pres
ent, everything which tends to economize
the use of currency is pro tc2to a relief TO
the money market. New York being the
monetary centre of the country, the place
where all other banks keep greater or less
balances, she must respond with currency
when the banks of other cities
call for their funds. But for all
her own purposes she may use
anything which her own banks may
agree lt consider good. All the banks
meet once each day at the Clearing House
to exchange checks. The Park Bank, for
instance, turns into the Clearing House
checks drawn on other banks for
$500,000 The other banks perhaps turn
in checks on the Park Bank for
$550,0O0. The Park Bank, therefore,
owes the Clearing House $4,000.
Usually this sum would be paid to
the Clearing House i'll greenbacks. In
order, however, to ecOnOmize the use OF
greenbacks, the Park Bank, its condition
being shown to be perfectly solvent, pass
es in it's own check for $50000. Other
banks against which there is a balance do
the same The Clearing House then issues
its certificates for an equal amount to the
banks which have balance coming to
them from the days clearings. The sys-
TEN is perfectly business-like and in &C
cord with sound principles of finance,
though it necessitates frequent examina-
ton of the assets Of the several debtor
banks by the Clearing House Committee

TIE first inquiry that suggests itself to
the Western reader in connection with the
present exciting condition Of commercial
and financial affairs at the East is: How
are we to be affected by it? In order to
arrive at truthful and well-defned an
sWer to this important question it is only
necessary to consider few facts


l. We have just secured wheat crop
throughout the West of average size, but
of much better than ordinary quality.
While it began early to move toward the
seaboard, this great store of wealth has
scarcely been broached. 1t is yet mainly
in the hands of the producers, where it
should be in an emergency like the pres
ent. The vast surplus is now to come
forward with no uncertain promise of an
active foreign demand. The falling off in
prices during the past day or two can be
but temporary, and there is every reason
to believe they will meet with decided
advance speedily.


2. The West is freer from debt to-day
than she has been at any time since the
war. The stringency of the past six or
eight months has had the effect to cause
all classes to move with caution and pru-
dence, and to avoid debt. This is espe-
cially true of the rural districts, upon
which our welfare so entirely depends.


3. Our merchants during the past year
have operated with the utmost caution
and the records of the commercial
agencies, East and West, never exhibited
their credit in better light. Inland deal
ers have bought but sparingly and have
not contracted any Indebtedness that can
become embarrassing.


4. The best element of all is that conf
dent, hopeful tone which always pervades
Western communities This was seen in
its grandest phase during the early days
succeeding the great fire. From all parts
of the interior came words of hope and
encouragement. The people were as de-
termined and steady as they are to-day,
scouting the very idea Of distrust or
panic.


TO sum up in one sentence, the West is
today as sound financially as any COM
munity under the sun, and she has the
wherewithal in her immense surplus OF
cereals to pay all her immediate indebted
ness. From these considerations-and we
believe none will challenge their truth
we can see no good reason for the exercise
of any but hopeful and confident spirit
in the present exigency. Panics are as
often based upon nothing as upon sub
statial causes, and there is no reason why
the people of the great Northwest should
become participants in the excitement
which has arisen from the downfall OF
reckless spectators in railway securities
What we need is simply to exercise that
habitual GOODNESS and steadiness which
are so eminently characteristic of the peo
pie of the West, and all will be well-
