Belter Kill a Man Than Nlioot a Ball.
At the recent term of Halifax
Crimind Court, Judge Sutton, Re
publican, presiding, a colored man
submitted o a verdict of manslaugh
ter and was sentenced to 3 years in
tbe penitentiary. ;A white mn who
bad shot his neighbor's bull because
the animal wouldn't stay off his
premises, was sentenced to 30 days on
tbe roads and lined $50. Be didn't
kill the bull, either. The evidence
showed that the animal had broken
into and tresspassed upon his prem
ises repeatedly, and that, after
repeated ineffectual warnings to its
owner to take it away, be shot i
inflicting only slight injuries. If
the bull had been killed tbe man
would doubtless have received as
severe punishment as tbe negro who
had taken human life.
The Scotland Keck Common

very liht punishment in all cases
where the defendants were colored.

Tolinaga, in some of his recent
utterances seems to be an apostle of
optimism. Ila b-js: "If anyone

gay it to himself. If he must write

we. 1 once gave $7 to hear Jenny

There is net only sound philosophy
but first-class religion in that senti
ment. The groaners are evidently
back numbers. When you eee
constitutional complamer, give him
a wide berth. A man with a conn

ulwaya welcome but if you want

testify from my own experience that
it does all that is claimed for it. I
hive used it in my own family and
in Be-yeral cases outside and have no
hesitation in Buying that if the
remedy bo taken freely in the earlier
stages of tha di3- ase a cure will cere
Uioly follow, and that if persons
exposed by waiting on others, eto.
will use it as a daily beverage they
will not take the disease.
