Governor Duval, of Florida, was the son of a poor Virginian, a stern, strong, taciturn man. This boy was a huge youth of fifteen. At the cabin Are, at bed time, according so the custom of putting on a back log, the old man said, between the whlfls of his silent pipe: "Tab, go out and bring In that gum back log, and put It on the fire.* Tab went ont and surveyed the log. fie knew it was of no use explaining that itwas too heavy, hot prudent for Mm to return without haviug It on his shoulder. His little sister, passing, was not surprised that he requested her to bring out the gun and powder horn, as a possum or coon might have passed, or the brother might have seen bear signs She brought the gun and Tab started. He found the way through the woods into Kentucky, in 1791. After an ab­ sence of eighteen years he was elected to Congress. A man of immense size and Strength, he started for Washing­ ton, going by the way of his old home, to see the folks wbo had long since given him up for dead. Entering the little cabin door near bed time, be saw the identical gum log. He shouldered it, pulled the latch string, and with his load stood before the old man, pipe in Hjputh, as quiet as usual. *'Here is the gum back log, father.*1 44 Well, you've been a long time get­ ting it--put in on the fire and go to Thid;' was the reply.--San A , Merald.

In hi*remarks In sentencing in one case, Jucj^jjleeves took occasion to remark that <pe«plo must understand when they give a chattle mortgage that the law ot this State forbids them to sell it without the wrlttcu consent of the mortgagee, verbal consent being no protection. They have a right to use it, but have no more right to sell it than to sell their neighbor's property. Their only right , in it Is the right of fetleuipiioii, and if they do sell any of it without tlie written coi.sent°bf the mortgagee they are guilty of a misde­ meanor and liable to indictment and punishment, by a fine In a sum not to exceed twice the value of the property, or confinement In the county jail not exceeding one year,or both, at the dis­ cretion of the court.
