A novel case was that of Cox against Eayres, heard before the Bupreme Court of Vermont Cox was coaviated of an offense under the Liquor law, and sen tenced to pay a fine in twenty-four hours or l>e committed to the House of Correc tion, and was placed in the custody of the Sheriff for safe keeping during the twenty-four hours. The. Sheriff took him to the House of Correction and left him. The Superintendent, Eayres, ex plained to him that by waiving the twenty-four hour privilege, and being committed at once, he would save coats. Cox agreed to be committed nt once. Under the ndes of the institution his beard, a very heavy one, worn for fifteen years, was removed. ■ Cox protested, bnt without avail. From this shaving a sore throat reeulted, which eudaugor«>d Cox's life. He sned the Superintendent for $5,000. At the tnal Judge Rosa told the jury that Cox had a right to waive the twenty-four-hour privilege, and the jury found for the defendant. The Su preme Court reversed this decision, holding that the law committed the prisoner from a certain time to a certain time, and that neither he nor any other jHiwer could commit him before, and tliat any one shaving him without his consent liefore that time was liable, and sent the case back for a new trial.

It has always been supposed that the Vermont boy acted from choice, but the Scotch telegram took the rounda iKmt course from necessity, for the hur ricane and snow-drifts had cut off al) di rect communication. From Peterhead the messages were first sent under the North sea to Egersund, where they were translated into Norwegian by some of the polyglot clerks, of whom every oun tincatal telegraph office of any impot ence can boast.

HARLEM, GEORGIA, TUESDAY. JUNE 14. 1881. THK IHK OF TH* AXCItm. Under this head, the London Station W has the following; The making of ink has, since ancient times, gone through many phaves and changes. The ink of the ancients, to which we owe the conservation of many important and priceless d.Mtumeate, is said to have lieen a mixture or three parts of soot and one part of solution of gnm, a com position which, in its cMence, is similar to the Chinese ink, and which (taking into aecouni the porosity of the paper written on) ia able to account tor its ia dalibtiity and good preservation of all writing committed to its keeping. The MBS. of the first eentury of our era still remain clearer than tlioee which were written long subsequently. The writ ings (A later days are not nearly so clear, and are even in some cases already illegible, because when they were writ ten makers had already begun to fabri cate pai>er from linen rags, and to press the sheet of pulp into greater consist ency. The paper iwing h«s potnue, ths ink did not penetrate, but rested on the surface ; and, subsequently, a new evil was added ; the ink itself was changed in its comp<Mution by the employment of Other agents than simple soot. Bo that by the less compactiMae of the paper used by our forefathers, and the .greater purity of their ink, the writing entered the ]>a|>er, Ix'comingajMirt thereof, each lending 4o ills other's endurance ; while now the thinner fluid wizAiu^pl^-lies the surface of the psjwr, is-acted <>»J>v the air, and both ink a«< perish togetliw in a lamentably short period. “ A d'dM to the wise is sufficient.” Tu« Uvalde (T'ex.) hrspertan give* nn luxxiuut of a fatal rencounter that roads like some of the burlesque* on life in Texas, where neighlxirH are represent ed as ahoqtiug eiw.li other in the moat amiable spirit.

Smith then flreu, and Kelly snswered the fire, there taring a very brief interval between the shots of both parties. Smith fired one shot from his Winchester, and jumped out of his buggy, on the oppo site aide from Kelly, and flrod another shot across the buggy, which Kelly dodged by dropping on his knees. Kelly fired two shots from his Wuichester, which got ont of order at the second shot, and Im drew his six-shooter. Smith then fired between tlie sjaikes of the hind wheels of the bnggy at Kelly, who fired.twice through tlie spokes of the same wheels at Smith.

The accused is not uennitted to juaUfy a Jibcl by proof of its troth, exiwpt when it refers to some action of a pub lic officer in the discharge of his duties as such. And only in this latter case Is the publication of the proceedings at tlw trial allowed, though, of course, the judgment may be published. This appears to us a very salutary provision of law, which might well be introduced in America. The dejiosit of security (consisting of an actual payment in cash) in the hands of the Government was abolished in Oc tober, 1870, but vas re-eetablishe<l by the law of July 6, 1871, though the amount Uicraaf is only aliotri ooe-hklf ofi that fixed by the law of 1852, the sums now required being, for every periodical appearing more than three times a week, if published in ths Department of the Brine, 24,000 francs, and in any othcl dapartment 12,000 francs, if published in a city having more than 50,000 inhabi tants, and 6,000 franca in other chimw ; Sad (or all other periodicals (except non Acditical publicsUousappearuig not more frequently than once a week), 18,(MS) Ronca in the Department of the Brine,- and in the other dejmrtmonte one-half of the amounts specified alxive. The sum so deposited as security is primarily aj»- plicable to the payment of all damages and easts awarded against the proprietor or manager of the pajier which publish es a libellous article, or against the au thor of such article. Ths stamp duty upon newspapers, which existed uniter the empire, was aliolished by decree of Hept. 5, 1870. Every publisher is •till obliged to deposit two copies of every newspaper, or other jieriixiical is sued by him, in the hands of the public authonties.

We confess to a love for old-fashioned houses. The walls of the familiar rooms uro hung with tender and pleasant thoughts, aa with rich-wrought tapes tries. The roofs are coated with the .irown colors and gray mosses of past days. The whole house carries in its as|>cct the marks of seasono.l character. Do not destroy it, then, to make r< om for a modern edifice of brick and mortar. Bather, restore ami improve it. A slight alteration of an old gable, the pulling down or pushing back of a roof line, an extending of a porch, a bit of lattice work erected here or there, some clmmcs ahrobliery, the laying out of a sinuous I>ath and Imrdering it with early and late flowers—a few little things like these will marvelously alter the looks of an old house outwardly, and compel its <«-cupant to continue his loving work till the whole is rejuvenated.
