" n.WES HAVE CH 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. —Raleigh Post. IT D17.ZLK8 THE WORLD.

The Florida legislature has decreed it a newly enacted law that tom- years of insanity of husband or wife shall he cause for divorce, and that the person who may got the divorce shall provide for the support of the other party. Tiio Philadelphia ltoc-, ord sas that such a law was in oper ation foi several tears in Wisconsin, but it was final U repealed because it seemed to oe an inducement to some husbands to have their sane wives committed to asylums. No doubt there are cases in which the lack of such a law is a hardship to the un fortunate husbands or wives o' mane persons.—Albiuy Herald, 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. ui.ovva to atoms.

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.
