Globe-Democrat: Our leap year , statisticians have brought to light ( a curious old Scotch law of 1828, . which runs in these words : “During the reign of her blessed Majestie Margaret, each maiden l::die of both , high and low degree, shall have liber tie to speak to the man she likes. It he refuses to take her lobe his wif. ho shall be mulct in the sum of ( £IOO, or less, as his estate mav be, . . " . I except and always if he can make it appear that he is betrothed to another woman; then he shall be free.” A right, smart spinster with a horse and gooart ought to be able ■ to speak to at least a score of eligi- 1 ble bachelors in the course of a year, at an average of say £2O a head, and a possible husband in the ' batch. This would not make a bad ' investment of time and labor. The trouble would bo that in time there ! would be no bachelors left. The ' law might, be termed a statute fori! the encouragement of old maids |] and the eradication of old bache lors. He must be a sorry chap ; that would be skipped in such a i hunt. : Albert Elin.., of Birmingham, ' England, was sentenced to only three months imprisonment at hard : labor for throwing his child, eieven months old, into the fire-place, and ; when it was rescued from there,! throwing it on the floor, kicking it, ! j and trying to jump on it, having , previously offered a sovereign to the ! child’s nurse to make wav with it.

A syndicate, including several Georgia capitalists, has secured the exclusive right for the Southern States of Tompkin’s process for re ducing vegetable fabrics to paper, with tb.e intention of establishing mills in all the cotton states, and applying the process to a reduction to paper of cotton stalks and seed hulls, now worthless. The promot ers of the enterprise claim that pa per can be made in this way at a cost of two cents per pound and if this is so the establishment of tln ir mills will mean as much to the south as the establishment of the cotton seed industry. The Elba Iron and bolt company of Pittsburg, Pa.., have sir-pended busin >ss with liabilities of $527,( >0 .■mil .assets amounting to $900,000. Red.ttced prices for its products caused the trouble.
