The Wilmington Dispatch say:
“An old Confederate soldier asks
the Dispatch why the difference m
the treatment of Aguinaldo and Jef
ferson Davis? When the president,
of the Southern Coufedracy was
captured lie was placed in irons,
thrust into a dungeon and subjected
to indignities. Aguinaldo receives
the best treatment there is in the
shop. Jefferson Davis was an old
man; Aguinaldo is a young man.
The q lestion is certainly a very
timely one. Times have changed.”
And the additional shame of the
infamous treatment accorded Mr. Da
vis is, that the then president and
secretary of the war of the United
States were native southerners—
North Carolinians both. The iron
ing was done by him who is now
c minanding general of the armies of
the United States, of his own voli
tion. But, thank God, neither Mr.
Davis nor the South were humbled
by the treachery on the one part nor
the vulgar inhumanity on the ether.

The fact that the throes of the
imagination under great nervous ex-
citeracut often produce a correspond
ing physical case of a man who had
gone to sleep with his artificial teeth
in his mouth, says the Scotsman.
Waking suddenly with a choking
sensation he found his teeth had
disappeared. He concluded they
must be far down his throat. Chok
ing and struggling lie hammered on
the door of a friend sleeping in the
house, who, seeing his critical con
dition, vainly tried to draw the teeth
out of the sufferer’s throat. He
ran for a blacksmith who lived a few
doors awny, but the blacksmith’s
hand was too big to put into the
man’s mouth. A doctor had been
sent for, hut lie was so long in com
ing that the victim of the accident
seemed likely to die of suffocation
before the physician arrived. A lit
tle girl of 10 years was bro ight, un
der the impression that her small
hand might reach the obstacle and
withdraw it, hut she got frightened
a id began to cry. The sufferer be
came black hi the face, his throat
swelled out and his friends expected
every moment to tie his last, when
finally the doctor arrived. He heard
the history of the case, and cast Ins
eyes seriously upon the floor. There
lie saw ttie whole set of teeth. He
adjnstud them in the jaws of the pa
tient, told him to breathe freely and
every symption of suffocation disap
peared.

A law recently adopted in Indiana
provides that proprietors of saloons
shall be responsible in damages to
the innocent victim* of the liquor
sold bv them. Tl.e State Supreme
Co :rt has just passed upon the law,
affirming it and bolding that it ap
plies in cases where women and chil
dren have been deprived of means of
sapport through the effects of liquors.
In the case before the court it was
shown that George Homire went
home drunk, picked a quarrel with a
boarder in the house aud killed him.
As a oouseq sence of the crime he
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
a long term, narrowly escaping the
gallows. It was proved that when
sober Homire was a peaceable man
and devoted to liis family of wife and
several children, of he was the sole
support; but when drunk he was
quarrelsome and bad-teinpered. It
was further proved that oil the day
of the tragedy, lie bought and drank
1 qnor at the saloon of one Halfman,
from tho effects of which he became
intoxicated. When her husband had
been convicted and transported to
the penitentiary, Mrs. Homire
brought suit against the saloon keep
er keeper, Halfman, for damages,
placing the sum of $20,000. Half-
man demurred, claiming that the new
law did not apply in such cases. The
lower court sustained the demnrrer,
and the case was appealed. The Sup
reme Court reverses the trial court,
holds that the law docs apply iri such
cases as that of Mrs. Homire, and
sends the case back for trial upou its
merits.
In its decision -the Supreme Court
says that the homicide committed by
Homire was a crime punishable by
imprisonment, and that his arrest,
conviction and imprisonment were
result* naturally to he expected; that
a showing by tho plaintiff that the
sale of the liquor to him caused the
crime, sufficiently establishes the
plaintiff’s claim for loss of support
in consequence. It is held that only
two facts are necessary to he shown,
outside of the salu of the liquov by
the defendant. The first of these -is
the intoxication, caused in whole or
part by the sale of ttie liq i >r, and the
second is the loss of support in con
sequence of s .ch intoxication.
The temperance people are natur
ally much elated at the opinion of
the Supreme Court. They regard it
as an important victory, since it will
force saloon men to exercise great
care in the sale of liquors to persons
who drink to excess. W T hen the sal:
oon men realize that, the law will
hold them responsible for the acts of
men mho become intoxicated on li
quor purchased from them, they will
refuse to sell whisky to a man al
ready under the influence of it, or-
likely to become drunk and do dam
age.—Savannah News.
