A New York court has decided that when a man loses his tru:tk. aud in it^there are presents fur his family the latter are not personal blggage, and suit for their recovery canuot be made. The new'usury law of Georgia al lows 12 per cent. to be taken by spe cial eoatract, the legal rate bein.e othermiao 7 per cent. The penalty of taking an excess is the forfeiture of the interest. B;ooklyrn Argus : It seems a wick ed extravagance in these hard times for inen to be spending tens of -hous-i ands of dollars in diamonds for their wivi;.wh-n rhinoceroses are selling at only $1,500 a head. I appears that the last cotton crop was not a large one, after all, and that if the Southern planters had not marketed their staple so soon they would have got two cents a pound more, amonnting to some millions of dollars. A Montana editor bemoans the calamities of 1874 in the following touching strain : "First, that .Beecher business; then the grasshoppers ; then the democra,ic victories, and now an increased tax on whiskey. What is this poor country coming to?" Paris is pluming itself on a new fancy in ladies' dress, which is a spe cies of tackle by which, when a lady wishes to dance, the train of her dress is drawn up to possible dimensions. This tackle is made so as to be orna mented with flowers or ribbons, and to become a great addition to the -toilet generully.

A man in Michigan procured a di vorce from his wife, intending to mar ry another woman. The latter, how ever got tired of waiting and inarried another-man on the d'ay the divorce was granted. Then .the fellow hesi tated whether or not to try to make it up with his wife again, and while he was hesitating his wife married an other man. This is what would natu *rally be called getting left all around. A wealthy merchant of Fairport, in this State, had so strong a presenti ment .that he would meet his death through suffocation, that he refused to introduce gas into a fine house which he had~ just finished. Then he went to Syracuse to I uy furniture, and while at a hotel blew out his gas and went to bed. In the morning he was found dead; but there seems to be about as much carelessness as coincidence in the way he died. [Neto York Snn. A young man out West married a deaf and dumb girl. Recently, how-! ever, she recovered both speech and! hearing, and be has applied for a di voice. One of the items in the com plaint asking the divorce was that his wife's tongue was set on a pivot, and was loose at both ends. When he expected perfect silence in the partner of his fortune, a freak of nature suddenly unlocked the si lent organ, and he is beset with the loquacity of the unruly member. He says it is the most outrageous swindle that ever was perpetrated. He cer tainly deserves the divorce.

There is a colored man here who has sig done what not one in a quarter of a ins million of his race have succeeded in fo'i doing since emancipation. Born and an< reared a slave, he has since the war sin accumulated about twelve thousand ass dollars' worth of property. The name Re of this man is Abner Hail. He has the the confidence and respect of all classes : and colors. noi In company with a friend I went around to see Hall. He works at the foundry of L. W. Jones as a pattern- Eli maker, earning good wages and put- W ting in every day. I asked him about ta the political situation of his race in Ar this region, and first as to his own ina political, views. He said he had al- Iat ways voted with the white people, and Iabx used all his influence with his race to the get them to do so. "The white peo- n' pe own this country," he said, "and rec we must live here if we live anywhere. tia A cold country such as up North to doesn't suit us. This is our home, and ree we must be at peace with the white thi people. They will do the fair thing if or~ the colored people do. My idea is that an< the conservative party is the party for c01 us colored people to go into. They wh always nominate the best men for of- peR fle, and always go for a peaceable wh government and low taxes. These in high taxes which the radicals put on off4 the country finally come out of the gif poor negro, if he had sense enough to wo see it. A white party and a black thi party, such as we have had so much for of here, will ruin any country. Look of what it has done for Louisiana. The radical party is a cheating party. Look how they got us all to deposit our - money in what they call the Freed ga men's Bank, and then stole it. Little Sat do they care for the nigger except toto get his vote and steal what little mon- Og ey he makes through the banks.

Thev do not surround hos their domesticities with the same mys- am tery and secret precautions with which of we envelop these proceedings in Eu- inc rope. Human nature, they argue, has ga to sleep, and here is the mat upon f which it stretches itself. Why con- * ceal it ? It also wants to eat, and it wa satisfies its appetite no matter how f*e many eyes are gazing.

He has no idea mo: of concealing his operations in some a si far away back region, yclept kitchen. to Ho squats down anywhere, makes a laid fire on or in anything, a basin, dish, dos pan or pot; there is no limit to his toC invention. He will cook in the mid- get de of the street. or in the centre of his in, guests in a restaurant. Upon one oc- the asion, when on board a junk, I ob- doz served a man cooking his own and his not neighbor's food together in a tub, and wit an earthenware saucer containing the con charcoal.

ONDON, April 9.-The Berlin Post, dnisterial journal, has a leading ar e saying: 6ecent events unfortunately render )o probable that the present French ,mbly, fearing there will be a re >lican majority in the next assembly >osed to peace, are anxious to pre itate a war of revenge, under the igerous auspices of Marshal MacMa and the Orleans princes, while the mg body of royalist deputies will be ced in a position to profit by the boration of the monarchy. War, ac dingly, is coming on, although the Lids gathering in the horizon may be dispersed. Lhe Austrian conservatives are en moring to oust Andrassy from the inet, with the view of participating :oming events. The greater part of upper classes in Italy are ready to i any ally against Germany, consid Ig her anti-papal attitude hostile to lian interests; yet it is by no means tain that France will be able to pro e an Austro-Italian alliance just now. ier endeavors fail, the war will pro ily be delayed, but things reach a s when the German people should better acquainted with the necessities the situation.

The offices of the Clerk, the Sheriff, and the Probate Judge they find in an entirely satisfactory condition. That of the County Commissioners S they found better kept, and so far a r - could be seen, the duties devolving upon d I them performed more in accordance i with the public interests than hereto 3 fore. P j In the offices of School Commissioner, S Coroner and Auditor, they found no- b thing which called for adverse criticism, T t The Treasurer's office they found neatly, and the books admirably kept. ] They also found general satisfaction ex * isting as to the management of business. in it, that even with the present enor- I mous tax levy, the taxes have been s more promptly paid-that there are 1 fewer delinquencies and tax executions I during the present than during any pre e vious year since 1868. They find that the taxes collected for the present fiscal year, at the date of February 27, amounted to seventy thous and and ninety-three dollars and seven S ty-one cents, ($70,093.71); that the pay- 1 3 ments to the State Treasurer from Jan- 1 3 uary 2nd to March 16th, amount to forty-five thousand, three hundred and e twenty-eight dollars and seventy-threev cents, $45,328.73); and that at the date -of February 15th, there remained in the i STreasury for County purposes, six thous and, six hundred and ninety dollars and ~ - fifty-three cents, ($6,690.53)-. The offices of th.e different Trial Jus a tices they find well kept, the books of business in good order, but they find ~ that none of them, with the exception of James F. Kilgore and Thomas P. B Slider, have exhibited their commis-. sions, taken the oath and signed the e roll, before the Clerk of the Court, as is required by law. That within the limited time at their C disposal they have not been able to visit the Jail and Poor House, but from in- - formation received by them they would report that the Jail is well kept and is -being repaired, that the Poor House is f in an improved condition, that the in- 2 mates are better clothed and provided t for, and at a less expense than hereto r fore. e - The Roads and Bridges throughout i the County are not mna satisfactory con- a -dition, and iis is earnestly recommendedd that some measures be taken to have a thetn attended to at the earliest practi- E cable moment. r They would also call the attention of s your Honor, to the fact of an exceeding a irregularity in the payment of the claims t -of the witnesses attending upon the Terms of this Court in the past, they fi being frequently paid for time during which they were not necessarily so in a attendance, and would urge upon your Honor to use every exertion to have -this abuse corrected.
