The solemn tolling of the great bell
of St. Panl’a at the recent death of the
Bishop of London attracted great attention
in the metropolis and crows assembled to
note the sound which is so seldom heard.
The bell is never tolled but at the death or
funeral ot members of the royal family, of
the bishop of London, of a lord mayor dy-
in office, and of the dean of fit. Paul’s.

But aht how little did I know

The more I’d see life's troubles.

Where youth no longer lingers,
And cce the lines that age did trace
Upon it with his fingers.

Who’d rather go to sleep and die,
Than wake to lite to-morrow.

LEGAL NEWS AND NOTES.
Prepared for the Telegraph nnd Messen
ger by W. B. Hill, of tho Macon Bar.
A promise that is not to be performed
within a year must, in order to be bind
ing, be in writing. 80 says the statute;
bat the courts have consumed it so as to
mean much leas than it apparently does.
This construction was first made in the
leading case of Peter vs. Compton. Mr.
Peter was an old bachelor and Mr. Comp
ton agreed that if Mr. Peter would pay him
one guinea down, he would pay Mr. Peter
one thousand guineas on his weddiug day.
(This happened several hundred years ago
and may have auggested the modern idea
of matrimonial insurance.) Mr. Peter de
termined to earn the thousund guineas
and get a wife in the bar
gain ; so, nine years later, he
took unto himself a spouse, for whom Mr.
Com Dton'a promise had unwittingly pro
vided a dowry. Mr. Compton demurred
to Mr. Peter’s demand for the thousand
guineas with which he proposed to begin
housekeeping, and planted himself on the
statute above quoted, arguing that as Pe
ter took nine years to carry out the con
tract it.was certainly a contract "not to
be performed in a year.” The court did
not sustain this view. They held (end
euch is now the law) that the statute only
applies to contracts incapable of perform
ance by tbeir terms within a year, and
that inasmuch as Mr. Peter might have
married the very next day, the contract
was binding, although verbal. The stat
ute. therefore, does not apply to contracts
which may or may not bo completed with
in a year. Nor does it apply to those which
are to be performed in a year by one party
but not by the other. If a contract of rent

He called on the Governor and was called
on by a number of prominent citizens.
Col. Beverly is juit from the conference
with Cleveland, who he urged to appoint

he try to establish a confessional, the wo

like that which Roman Catholic priests
wear, rests lightly on his brown, closely-

Brother Huntington argued to me that
his vows, though unique in Eplscopallan-
ism, and not specifically authorized by the
canons, were neither forbidden or improp
er. He laughed at the notion of a monas
tery, and yet a glance around the room,
with its bare floor, plain furniture, walls
shelved for theological books,and a crucifix
over the mantle, revealed an essentially
monkish atmosphere. To these rigors he
