The Legal Status of Advertise
ments.
A curious and interesting case has
been decided in the Superior Court
involving new snd somewhat peculiar
points of law, of interest to all who ad'
vortise. The facts arc briefly as fol
lows, omitting the names of the liti
gants: In December, 1876, A, doing
business as a wholesale grocer, dis
charged B, who had been employed as
head of the ten department of his
store. B sued Ain the Superior Court
for 8250, one month's salary. In oir
oulars sent ont by A was the statement
that they hod ,;thc be it* t» buyer,
whose sole doty it was to wstoh the
market for bargains. A's defenso was
that B spent too mnoh time in the tea
market Chief-Jnstico Curtis charged
the jury on the trial os a matter of
law that "when a man presents to the
"pnbllo, in the form of a circular or
'advertisement statements, he is
'bound by those statements. It is
‘not for him to say that it is a matter
'of business, or when business is dull
'a matter of course, to issue statomonts
‘that are untrue. If, after advertising
'his wares, goods, or medicines, with
•statements for the publio to act up-
'on, lie comes into a court of justice,
"he is bound by those statements.—
'The law knows no difference between
“pretenses that ore false, except in the
'degree of moral or criminal turpitude,
"and iu the punishment that attaches
"to them. The mau who seeks by
"false statements iu regard to his bus-
"iness through uu advertisem ;nt, to
“delude the public, when he does it
“to reap profit for his owa advantage,
“is taking the first stops on that road
"which terminates with false pretuus-
“es, with forgery, with crime, and
"with those acts which imperil the
“interests of all of as, and which tend
“to destroy the property, and per-
"Imps thu reputation, of every citi
"Zen."
The jury give a verdict against A for
8205. It must be admitted that there
is much sound practical common souse
A Mother’* Oldest Girl.
Wjat a multitude of affections
and mud associations cluster around
the June of a mother’s oldest girl I
a bond of union exists be
tween the two! A mother's affee
tion for a son or a younger daugh
ter may be just as strong, her ma
ternal sacrifice just as unselfish,
but it is her oldest daughter for
whom she feels the most delicate re-
gnrd, and in whom is centred her
most perfaot trust' Her association
with her from her infancy is more
like that of a companion than that
of a child over whom she has’im-
plicit control, and from whom she
would exact rigid obedience. She
consnlts her fnlly on alt confiden
tial subjects, winning confidence in
torn, and to her she resorts in hours
of trouble, seeking consolation from
the ypnng and lotring heart
It is a motBor's oldest girl in
whose care are entrusted the young
er children daring her absence, and
who watches over them as faithfully
as Bhe herself would. It is these
same faithful hands that smooth
the locks from that m.ittrnal brow
and minister most successfully to
her in the hoar of sickness,
would, therefore, seem harder to
give her np than a younger ehild.—
No one else could ever take her
place. No one else could ever uu-
durstuud and anticipate her as did
her oldest girl, in whom were com-
biued daughter, sister, companion
and comforter.

wry different point from tlmt covered
iu the deeisiun in thu case of Hall vs.
Hull, Kimbark & Co., which onr read-
ijjjj! mu may remember. In the case lust
I named the plaintiff took ndvnutngo of
“'!»' t ' 10 defendant's eireulnr, offering ccr-
twj tu n goods at a vorr low prico. to order
a large lino on speculation. The or
it der was not filled, but the court held
that tlio defendants were bound by the
offer made iu their circular, and the
plaintiff recovered largo damage,. Both
esses are of importance, howovur, as
showing the praotice of onr courts in
fixing tlio measure ot legal responsi
bility whioh thoso mast assume who
mako positive statements in advertise-
ments. In a word, what a man says iu
bis advertisement is regarded as his de
liberate and publio statement, to whioh
he can always be held, and the inter-
pretation pat upon snob statements by
the courts is likely to be extremely lit
eral.— Ibon Age.

HcttBLi Origin.—The late Senator
Morton, of Indiana, the grcatoct mm
of tho Repnblican party, was appren
ticed to a hatter at the age of fifteen,
and followed the btrainees for four
yean. Andrew Johnson was a tailor.
Grant, though not a statesman, wasa
tanner. Abraham Linooln was a rail
splitter. Millard Filmore, when fit-
teen yean of age, wm apprentioed as a
wool carder and cloth Grosser. Web
ster and how many others were tamer
boys 7 Numbers of the most noted of
onr publio men have risen from like
stations to eminence, many of them
having been mechanics and descen
dants of mechanics. Roger Sherman,
of revolutionary fame, wm a shoema
ker, and the Shermans of to-day and
Mr. Evarts, are his descendants. It
did not, remarks tho Baltimore San,
require any labor parties or labor or
ganizations to bring these men to the
front. Nothing obetrnets the way of
the mechanic or other laborer in this
ooontry to the highest positions, if he
has the oapaoity, integrity aod indus
try requisite to the performance of
tho datjes involved.
Prot Rossi, Italian inspector of ex
cavations, has had the look to bring to
light, on the plain ot Nervis, a Roman
amphitheatre, oonstmoted in very fine
dressed stone of Turbia. The port of
tho external wall so for uncovered, and
a grand gateway, are said to of a beau
ty and solidify really marvellous.
Improvements in Aeronautics.—
In respect to tho gns balloon, one
of the most important improvements
is due to the ingenuity of M. Jo-
bert, his pi in being to construct one
side of tho gas-lml ler of wliito, and
the other of black stuff, since it is
easy to turn the balloon about its
vertical axis by means of a small
proprili r, so as to keep either the
black side or tlio white sido always
fin lag thu sum, and thus, by tho
healing or cooling, make the bal
loon either to ascend or descend to
an extent depending upon the dif
ference iu the redacting or absorb
ing power of thu two valves of thu
ballooii. By this mentis, it in
thought, thu vertical movements of
the bullno i may bo controlled to a
sufficient extent to render its app i-
cations in meteorology of mnoh im
portance. Numerous prominent
aeronauts have warmly advocated,
of lute, tho nso of tho hot-air bal
loon.
A “Corset Liver.”—Somo medi
cal students in ono of the colleges
of this city, dissecting a female sub
ject a few days ag >, found what is
called in doctor’s parlance a “corset
liver." When tight lacing has been
practiced through sevoral years,-a
permanent dent or liollow is pro
duced in the liver, which may be
seen very plainly after the woman
is dead aad her liver dissected oat
This kind of liver oocara so freq ueut-
ly in women that physicians have
given it tho name of "corset liver,
In the subject mentioned the hollow
in the liver was largo enough for the
wrist of a grown man to bo laid in

their liven put into the newspapers

laying them down handy near the

A curious story is going the

of the Now World. Itwss always

some repairs were being made in

which were inscriptions proving
that the remains of the great set

Organization or MimTIa.—Senator
Davie, of West Virginia, who hoe been
giving much attention to fits subject,
lias concluded to address faiuMsfltothe
preparation of a plan to encoangv the
organization of the militia of tbe State
through the aid of the General GS*>
ernment Senator Davis has comma-'
nicuted his views to a number of Sea-'
ators and members, and find* that
they moke a very favorable impreaaiop.
Senator Davisjprocoeds on the; idea,
and in this he is sustaiued by very
many, that the true way to insure do
mestic peaoe and .tranqnilify is not to
increase the regular army, bat to pro
vide an efficient militia. This is olio
tho view of a number of the Houm,
who ndvocate an army reduction. It
is held that tho regular army in time
of peace should bo brought down to
tbe lowest standard consistent with
tho proper care of the publio works,
fortifications, etc., and the necessities
of frontier duty. Then let tho Gener
al Government supply arias, ammuni
tion, eta, to tbe several States, snd
also make annual appropriations in
money to aid them in putting tbeir
militia on an efficient footing both as
regards pereonnet, material and esprit
du corpus. These are propositions
which will be submitted fortheoon-
sidorution of Congress, and they ore
likely to meet with popular approval.
Cotton Manufacturing In tho
South.
Mobile's cotton factory appears to
be an established foot, A company
is organized, and though not all the
capital stock that was desired fua
been subscribed, the directors ore
about to start tbe enterprise with
1,846 spiudlea, which will consume
about 800 boles of cotton yearly and
replace it with $100,000 worth of
yatn. The Register says tbe com
pany has tho advantage of three
oenta per pound over the New En
gland manufacturers, which is $12,-
000 for the 800 bales, a handsome
dividend in itself, while at the same
time labor is cheap, the weather has
inolement, and there Is a market
right at home. Though this assy
be the beginning of competition .
with eastern manufactures, the worHf
is large enough for all, and we wel
come anything that promises*
new prosperity for the south.
