CHEAP LIGHTNING. Plans of the National Telegraph Com pany. [New York Special to Chicago Tribune.] Alfred A. Cohen, of San Francisco, Cal., President of the National Tele graph Company, is now in this city. In response to Inquiries last evening, Mr. Cohen said his company had been formed with a capital stock of 325,000,- 000, of which 8750,000 had been paid in. The incorporators were William Sharon, Michael Reese, Jas. R. Reeve, William Burling, F. D. Atherton, C. M. K'-llogg and Alfred A. Cohen. These gentlemon wore all residents of the Pa cific coast, but as soon as the enter prise was thoroughly under way it was expected that there would be a good representation from the East, a number of capitalists hav ing signified their desire to participate. The company has been formed for the purpose of* building and operating a system of telegraph lines in the United States and the Canadas. The plan was formed a considerable time ago, and the first steps were taken recently in the organization of the company under the laws of California. It had been the intention to havo accomplished some thing in the shape of practical work this fall, but the troubles on the Pacific coast, growing out of the suspension of the Bank of California and other Insti tutions, disarranged matters for a time and compelled the deferring of the at tempt to put the scheme into execu tion. Mr. Cohen, when asked why it would not bo more desirable to purchase a controlling interest in an established line, with a secured business, like the Western Union Telegraph Company, replied that he had the highest regard for the Western Union Telegraph Com pany. He did not believe that better manugers than that company possessed at the present time could bo found any where. Yet, while testifying to the worth and ability of the officers, ho found fault with the system upon which the company was administered. Telegraphy had not reached its legiti mate hold, and would not until it be came the popular method for trans mission of intelligence between the peo ple. At present it was an expen sive commercial necessity, not used until circumstances compelled. Telegraphy should take the place of the post office and be to the masses of the pooplo what the cheap postal sys tem now is; at least something akin to it. The Western Union Telegraph Company had been of groat public utility, and deserved the warmest com mendations of t.hoso whom it had sorved; but the question of buying a controlling interest in it was a serious one which must bo fairly considered - To get a controlling intorcst In'the stock the .purchasers would havo to begin buying lit 80, and pay all the way up to 00, or perhaps Uiglior. The actual purchase would involve the ex penditure of about 840,000,000. The National Oompauy expects to duplicate overy essential detail of equipment of the Western Union Com pany at 25 per cent, of the sum which that oompauy has expended. Wher ever it is practicable, existiug lines will be utilized by the National Company, but no lino will be accepted as a part of the system which is not essentially under the control of the National Com pany. Some time ago negotiations were en tered into for the acquisition of the Atlantic find Pacific Company’s lines, but they did not result iu anything. If the Atlantic and Pacific Company’s lines could be purchased at their actual value, they would no doubt be a de sirable acquisition. No negotiations wore now pending. PERSONAL.

Poe and his mother in-law, Mrs. Clomm, have not taken measures to place the remains of Mrs. Poe by the side of her husband and mother. Mrs. Poe died at Fordham, in the liouso in which Poe wrote “The Ra ven,” and her remains were placed in the old family vault of the Valentines, iu the Reformod Church at Fordham. Very few good writers are good talk ers. “ Maid of Athens.” [Northport (N. Y.) Advortis r.) Some three yoars ago, while engaged upon a magazine article, relative to the life and times of Byron, wo observed in an English paper a brief paragraph simply stating that Thyrza Black was bed ridden, and in a state of destitu tion in the old city of Athens. Though a constant reader of both foreign and American papers we failed to notice anything further rel - ive to Mrs. Black, and the plausible conclusion at which we arrived was, that she had passed to that “bourne from which no traveler returns.” Quite recently, however, the subject recurred to us, and Au gust 1, 1875, we wrote a letter to the United States Consul at Athens, asking several questions and Information rela tive to Mrs. Black, and last week wo were in receipt of the appended com munication from Anthony Martelaus, bearing the desired intelligence: Athkns, September 3, 1875. Dear Sir : I received your kind note of August 1, by which you desire me to inform you about Mrs. Black (to whom the great Lord Byron ad dressed that beautiful little poen usm ally distinguished by the title “Maid of Athens”), whether or no she is alivo. Astor having read your note I asked Information about her; asking for hor house—because I know she was alive. Indeed I found the house, which is in a quarter of the city of Athens not of the most central. I entered her apartment and found an old lady of about seventy five yearß of age, in good health, and dressed in the old Athenian costume, as she is a native of Athens. Together with her I found a young lady of about thirty—her daughter, not yet married. She is lovely and of exquisite manners. I addressed myself to Mrs. Blqpk, ask ing her about her health. She told me she was very well; that she lost her husband some years ago; that she has lost two of her sons, and that she lives now with the only daughter, who sat by me. Miss Black told me that Lord Byron asked the hand of her mother; but her parents did not agree with the re quest, as her mother was then very young, and had two sisters more aged than she was. After that refusal Lord Byron wrote the poem “ Maid of Athens.” I have been moreover in formed by other persons that her late h 'sband, Mr. Black, who was in the service of Her Britannic Majesty at Mis solonghi (Continental Greece) asked the hand of the Maid of Athens, after he had heard that she was the subject of a poem by Lord Byron. Mrs. Black is a tall old lady, with features inspir ing reverence, and showing that at a time past she was a beautiful woman. She asked me different times what wau the object of the American gentleman who wished to know about her. As I did not know the why, I could not give her a satisfactory answer. After an hour’s iuterview with Mrs. and Miss Black I took leave and departed. I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant, Anthony Martelaus, United States Consular Agent. MARY AND HER LAMB. The True Story of the Immortal Ani mal, as Related by Mary Herself. iSpringfleld Republican.] There are floating about in the great ocean of literature stray chips of song or story, which from their wit or wis dom, or from some una countable rea son, become popularized or cherished more carefully than whole navies of world-renowned authors. Their pa rentage ur'enown, they come as litera ry foundlings to our doors, and, once 'admitted, command their place in Our affections. Among such is the poc.o. “Mary had a Little Lamb.” There is hardly a child in the broad land who has not become familiar with the verses, not a college student but has sung them to a dozen different tunes. It has been parodied, parphrased and translated into the dead languages. And yet scarce any one knows who is the author or whether it is ficticious or founded on fact. It is, perhaps, in the truth of the story that the s ret of its popularity lies, for it is the true ac count of an incident that happened sixty-one years ago, not fifty miles from the Cradle of Liberty. And “Mary,” a delightful old lady of three-score and ten, still lives and cherishes the mem ory of the event. The writer, on a re cent visit, craved from her own lips the true story of the affair, and will repro duce it as nearly as possible. “It was when I was nine years old,” she said, “and we lived on the farm. I used to go out to the barn every morning with father to see the cows and sheep. They all know mo, and the cows, old Broad and Shorthorn and Briodie, would low a good morning when I came to" their stables. Onq cold day we found tbat during the night twin limbs had been born. You know that sheep will often disown one of the twins, and this morn ing one poor little lamb was pushed out of the pen into the yard. It was almost starved and almost frozen, and father told mo I might have it if I could make it live. So I took it into the house, wrapped It in a blanket and fed it on peppermint and milk all day. When night came I could not bear to leave it for fear it would die, so mother made up a little bed on the settle, and I nursed the poor thing all night, feed- ing it with a spoon, aud by morning it could stand. After this we brought it up by hand, until it grew to love me very much, and would stay with me wherever I went unless it was tied. I used, before going to school in the morning, to see that the iamb was all right and securely fastened for the day. Well, one morning, When uiy brothor Nat aud I were all ready, tire lamb could not bo fouud, and," sup posing that it had gone out to pasture with the cows, we started on. [ used to bp a great sitigqr, and the lamb would follow tlio sound of my voice. This liio'rntng, - after we had gone soma distance, I began to sing, aud tlnulamb hearing me, followed on and overtook us before we got to the school-house. As it happened, we were early, so I went In very quietly, took the lamb into ray seat, where it went to sleep, and I covered it up with my shawl. When the teaoher came and the rest of the scholars, they did not notice any thing amiss, and all was quiet un til my spelling class was called. I had hardly taken my place before the putting of little feet was heard ooming down the aisle, and the Iftmb stood be side mo ready for its word. Os course the children all laughed and the teach er laughed, too, and the poor creature had to be turned out of doors. But it kept coming back, and at last had to be tied in the wood-shed till night. Now, that day there was a young man in school, John Roulstun by name, who was on a visit to one of the boys, and came as a spectator. He was a Bos ton boy and son of a riding master, and was fitting for Harvard" Col lege. Ho was very much pleased over what he saw in our school, and in a few days after be gave us the first three verses of the song. How or when it got iuto print I don’t know.” Thus she ran on telling of the care she bestowed on her pet until it grew to be a sheep, aud she would curl its long wool over a stick; and it bore iambs until there was a flock of five all hor own; aud finally how it was killed by an angry cow. Then she brought out a pair of her little-girl ptoekings, knit-, ted of yarn spun from the lamb’s wool, the heels of which had been raveled out aud given away piecemeal as me mentos. No one eau doubt that she, whose youth was rendered famous by :ove for an unfortunate animal has liv ed a life of beneficence aud charity. With a heart overflowing with love towards all God’s creatures, she has indeed lived to care for the needy and destitute, and be a mother to the motherless. And now, in a green old age, she is sur rounded by those whom her warm heart long since taught to cling to her and follow as the lamb in her youth. When at last she shall cross the river she will find an eternal home in the green pas tures and beside the still waters, where the Good Shepherd feeds his lambs. John Roulston died before entering' college. What the world lost in him who wove into verse that immortalized them both the story of Mary and the lamb no one may eay. Professor David Swing, of Chicago, gives this opinion on the use of the Bible in the public schools : “The Gov ernment has no more right to teach the Bible than it has to teach the Koran. My idea is that the Government did, in its earlier life, run aeoording to a sort of Christian common law, but now the number of Jews, Catholics and in fidels has become so greatly increased that the Government has to base itself squarely upon its constitutional idea, that all men are religiously equal.” Pierre Bonaparte, who shot Victor Noir a few years ago, has aged very much since his trial, and Is now re siding in a small place at Luxemberg, formerly his shooting box. The other day, as he was driving through one of the streets of Paris, he was greeted with the cry of “accursed murderer,” and took good care to have the driver whip up his horses and carry him far from the threatening demonstration.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, 6a., October 12, 1875—Hon. Hiram War ner, Chief Justice, Hons. L. E. Bleck ley and James Jackson, Judges. [Atlanta Constitution.l Atlanta, Ga., October 12,1875. Stinson et al. vs. Hall, Sheriff] Assump sit, from Talbot WARNER, C. J. It appears from the record of this case that an attachment was issued in favor of Allen against Morgan, return able to Upson Superior Court, which was levied on certain described prop erty aS the property of the de fendant, by the Sheriff of Talbot county, which was claimed by George Stinson in terms of the statute, he giving bond with security to the Sheriff, who left the property levied on in the posse - sion of the claimant. The condition of the bond is, that the claimant, should well and truly deliver to said Sheriff said property at the time aud place of sale, in the event it should be found subject to the attachment. The prop erty was found subject on the triai of the claim. An execution was. issued against the property attached as the property of the defendant in attachment, and placed in the hands of the Sheriff of Talbot county, and the property attach ed not being forthcoming to be levied on in satisfaction of the attachment ex ecution, suit was instituted on the claimant's bond by the plaintiff, alleg ing as a breach thereof that the prop erty had been found subject to the at tachment, and that flhe defendant had. been called on and the property de manded of him to be sold to satisfy Said judgment and execution, in ac cordance with the stipulations contain ed in the bond, but tbat the defendant refused to do so, or to pay the plaintiffs said judgment. On the trial of the case the Sheriff testified tbat after the exe cution was placed in his hands, he de-, □landed of the defendant, Stinson, the property levied on, who refused to de liver the same to him, and that it was of the value of 8200; that he had searched for the property, but could not find it. The court charged the jury “that if the Sheriff, after the exe- cution was placed in his hands, de manded the property from the defend ant, and the defendant refused to deliver the same, then whether the same had been advertised for sale or not, the refusal to de liver the property was a forfeiture of the bond, and entitled the plaintiff to recover,” to which charge the defend ant .excepted. The. jury found a ver dict. for tho plaiiitiff for the sum of 8140.87. There being np legal evidence Shat ihe property was advertised for sale after it was forth-. 1 subjeat to the attachment, the question id, whether under the evidence in the record the plaintiff wafe entitled torecovor without proving that the property was adver tised for sale. The 3329th section of tho Code contemplates that when a judgment shall have been obtained in an attachment case, that an execution shall Issue on tbat judgment against the property attached, and that prop erty only shall be levied on aud sold under such execution. Before tho exe cution issued on the judgment placed In the sheriff’s hands could have been levied on the property attached for the purpose of making sale thereof at the proper time aud place of sale, which the defendant had bound himself in his claim bond to deliver to the sheriff for that purpose, it was necessary that the defendant should have had the property forthcoming and acces sible, to be levied on by the sheriff, in order that he might sell it at the time and place of sale, as required by law. But the evidence in, the record shows that when the sheriff demanded tho property of the defend ant in order that he might levy the execution upon it, the defendant re fused to deliver the property, and the sheriff could not find it. The position which the defendant assumes in his defense to the suit amounts to this: It is true I bound myself to deliver the property to the sheriff, which was left in my possession under my claim to it, if found subject at the time and place of sale, but I will refuse to produce it when demanded hy the sheriff, so that he cannot levy the execution upon it and advertise it to be sold at the time and place of s;de, as required by law ; therefore, I have not broken the obli- j gation of my bond, because he has not advertised it. In view of the evidence j contained iu the record, we find no error in the charge of the court to the jury. Let the judgment of the court below be affirmed. Little & Crawford, for plaintiffs in error. Willis & Willis, for defendant. Whittle vs. Webster. Case, from Mus cogee, WARNER, C. J. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant to re cover damages alleged to have boon sustained to the plaintiff’s goods in con sequence of the leaky condition of a certain described store house rented by the plaintiff from the defer dan t, in the city of Columbus. On the trial of the case, there was evidence introduced on both sides in relation to the damage done to the plaintiff’s goods, and as to the condition of the store house whilst the same was occupied by the plaintiff. The jury, under the charge of the court, found a verdict in favor of defendant. The court charged the jury, amongst other things, in substance as follows : “When one rents a lot and house thereon, he takes them for better or for worse, and if defendant rented a store house to the plaintiff, and the house was in a certain condition at the time of renting, the defendant was not bound by such renting to put other or more repairs thereon than were necessary to keep the house in the same condition it was when rented. If the house rent ed was subject to leakage from rain at the time rented, and being thus sub ject to leakage, and the goods of the plaintiff were damaged from leakage to which it was subject at the time rent ed, the defendant is not liable for such damage to the plaintiff’s goods. It is the duty es the landlord to put such i repairs on the rented promises as will 1 keep them in the condition they were | when rented, thus much and no more, : and a landlord does not insure against leakage and damage therefrom to the tenant.” To this charge of the court the plaintiff excepted. In our judg ment this charge of the court, in view of the evidence in the record, was error. By the 2284th section of the Code it is declared, that the land lord must keep the rented premises in repair, and is liable for all substantial improvements placed upon them by his consent. This section of the Code was co istrued by this court inGuthman vs. Castleberry, 48th Georgia Reports, 172. If a tenant should rent a dilapidated or leaky store house, with : frU knowl edge Os its actual condition, at a re duced price in consequence thereof, and puls his goods therein, and t'ie same are damaged, he would not then nave any legal or just cause of com plaint against his landlord. But when a landlord rents a storehouse to a ten ant for the purpose of selling goods therein, in the absence of the ten ant’s knowledge to the contrary, the law will presume tfiat it •is in a condition suitable for the pur pose for which it was rented by the tenant, and if it is not, and damage re sults to the tenant’s good in conse quence of the defective condition of the rented premises, the landlord is iiable therefor; and if after the premises have been rented, the same becomes unfit by reason of the roof of the house becom ing leaky, or other similar cause, so as to render the house unsuited for the purpose for which it was rented, the landlord is bound, upon notice being give to him of the defect by the tenant to make the necessary repairs within a reasonable time thereafter, and upon his failure to Mo so, and damage re sults to the tenant’s goods in conse quence of such failure to make the necessary repairs, the landlord will be liable therefor. In this State, the law is that the landlord must keep the rented premises iu repair, not as the same were when the tenant rented them, if he did not know of the defec tive condition thereof at the time, but the same are to be kept in repair by the landlord so as to render them suitable for the purposes for which they were rented. If the tenant pays the landlord a fair and reasonable rent for the store house rented, as being suitable for the purpose for which he rented it, he is entitled to have it kept in repair by the landlord for that pur pose under the provisions of our Code. Let the judgment of the court below be reversed. D. H. Burts, W. A. Little, Peabody & Brannon, for plaintiff in error. Blaudford & Garrard, for defendant. Cooke’s Clothing Store.
