These eases involve the judgment 1 ol this court in rt-reme(f>/-'l S. C. K., 210?and seek lo reverse il, under the authority of Clunn vs. Harry, derided by the Supreme Court of the United I States at December term, 1875?15 , Wallace, 010. It is true, as submitted by the respondent, that in Cunu vs. Harry the (piestiou directly made was as to the etl'ecl of a homestead exemption on a judgment obtained before its allowance by the constitution ar.d act ol the t leneral Assembly ot the State of vJcorgia, still it is so apparent tliat, in the view of the court, the retrospective operation of such provision against all previous contracts was void, because in violation ol the tenth section ol the first article of the Constitution of the United States, which declares "that no Slate shall pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts," that we teel bound to regard the opinion as expressive of the v iews of the court to the lull extent to which the reason which it assigns may cany i it. A respect to the duty which we owe to the highest tribunal of the country, as well as to ourselves, requires that we should not only give to the decision all proper ellciet in the case as presented by the facts, but that we should accept the argument ol the opinion as it a Heels the general question involved in its judgment. We yield a ready assent to what .M r. J ustiee <?i ier says Cook vs. Motfat, (t alt o Howard, 308. "The C\ n j stitutioh of the United Slates is the sup i erne law of the land, and hinds every Jorum, whether it derives ils authority i'rom a State or Irom the j United State. When this court lias J declared State legislation to he in eon j jlict with the Constitution of the | j United States, and therefore void, the j State tribun ds are bound to conlorm | to such decision/' | The constit ution of (leorgia declared that each head of a family should he I allowed a certain amount of realty as | well as personalty, and that no court or ministerial officer should ever have jurisdiction or authority to enforce i any judgment, decree or execution against such property except tor taxes, and so forth. Tim Legislature of the j same State, in October, 1808, passed "An act to provide tor the setting apart the homestead as required by the constitution." In the eases before | us, the exception was claimed undi r the constitution and acts of the (-Jenereral Assembly of t his State, which, ex- j eept as to the amount of homestead allowed and the prohibition of juris- | diction by the courts, were of'the. same j character as those provided hy the constitution and laws of (leorgia. In the application of the principles which are to govern their enforcement, as proposed by the two States, 110 difference can be found to exist. The emphatic language ol the opinion bears directly upon the general powers of the State to withdraw from a contract any substantial right which attached i<> it at its inception, and must be viewed and accepted as the expression of the court in regard to all homestead exceptions. It is in these words: ''The legal remedies for the enforcement of the contract-, which belong to ... 7 n ,t .,1 i ik. ? . 1 ? . ? t.w ...v, liiiiu ?v 11 (I plilC-C WlUTC it is made, are a part of its obligation. A State may change them, provided the change ivolve no impairmentot a substantial right. It the provision ot the constitution or the legislative act of ;i State fall \sithiii the category last men tioned they are to that extent utterly void. They are for sill the purposes of the contract which they impair, as it lhey had never existed. The constitutional provision and statute here i in question are clearly within the category and are therefore void." The contracts on which these actions are founded were entered into before the adoption of our constitution, , and we can perceive in them no element in regard to homestead law, which withdraws them fiom the principles announced in Gun vs1 Harry. The motions are granted and the eases remanded to the Circuit Court.

Peep ploughing also does very much to prevent the bad cliecfs of drouth, by | allowing the moisture to rise from helow, when the ground becomes dry and warm on the surface; it is alike beneficial in cases of excess of rain, by i allowing the surplus water more readily to sink out ot the way. To ctlccl the same ends still better, and to have your lands warm, dry and j porous, drain them well with surface! drains, where that will answer, and with under drains where they are! needed; the improvement in yield, as well of quality as in quantity, will pay all ot tin* expense in a very short time, besides making the farm more healthy for both plants and human oe eupanls; while often, in ni.iuy localities, those under drains furnish abun lance of good stock water, where I none was known before; and then it, is more pleasant tilling the soil. Orchards, particularly, are greatly benefitted by deep, thorough drainage, both in the health of the trees, ami the, improved size and flavor ol the fruit.

In ihe I'iin^u (if mountains in Western North C'nroliua known as the "Fork I?nn'_',e,M a ill' **t> singular j?henoinenon exists, It is n breathing cave. In tin1 sununer months a current of air conies from it so strongly that a person can't walk against it., while in tin.; winter tin; suction is as great. The cool air trom the mountains in lite Riunmer is felt for miles, in a direct line front the mouth of the cave. At times a most unpleasant o<lor is emitted upon tin1 current from the dead carcasses ol animals sucked in and killed by the vio lence. The loss of catt le stock in that section in winter is accounted for in this way: They range too near t!ie month of the cave, and the current carries them in. At times when the change lroni inhaling to exhaling begins the air is filled with various hairs of animals, not unlYcnjuenlly hones and whole carcasses are seen miles front the place. The air lias been known to change materially in temperature during exhalation, from ipiite cool to unpleasant') hot, withering vegetation within reach, and accompanied )>y alcriihle roaring, gurgling sound, as a pot, boiling. It is unaccounted for by sei-'ptilic men who have examined it, though no exploration can lake nbiee. It. is fi<?ir.?.l ln? , ^ *7 * lll.Ul \ that a volcitnic eruption may break forth there some time.

The little snob soon followed suit hy laying another sovereign beside the first. His grace quietly added another florin, which was capped by a third sovereign on the part of the little snob. ( hit came a fourth florin to swell tin; duke's donation, then the little snob triumphantly laid three sovereigns at once upon the Hoard.

His grace used to chuckle when lie told that story, and I think on tne whole ho got the best of it.
