Tbe case started a year or so ago when one man sued another for a seven dollar balance on a book ac count, and this was followed by a prosecu tion for perjury. The Franklin .Vctcx says this case illustrated in a grotesque degree the folly of vindictive litigation, and is a striking exhibit of tbo cumulative nature of law costs. Starting on a claim for $7, it has swelled into a matter of S6OO, wnich the parties must pay. And yet, with all this outlay, the difference betweon them is not settled. They are not happv, nor are they likely to be. On a quarrel over a matter of $7, they brought to the county seat sixty witnesses and kept them here for nine days. And t heu, Instead of getting satisfaction, the principals get socked with a bill of S6OO costs, and tetura homo to skirmish for the wherewithal, instead of celebrating the victory over the opposition.

A Novel for Girls j- [lt is said that Mr. HowelU. who is per : cap* the foremost ot living American nov j elists. has long had in his mind a story of American girl lite, which he believes will s ;be the best piece of work he has ever done ! The great novelist has now peen induced t ;to write oat the story, and at. present he | is at work upon it. It is a novel unlike any p which Mr. llowells has ever written. It deals entirely with the struggles of a West t ern girl who goes to New York, and the r story will have about it all the flavor which attaches to a tale of city life with a younic ' girl us the central heroine. Heretofore all # of Mr. Howell*' novels have gun to the i Harpers, but this special girl.-.' novel will be printed during lt>9.! in The Ladies' Home Journal, ol Philadelphia the publishers of which have bought the exclusive rights to 1 the story from Mr Howells. The novel is r to be beautifully illustrated, and r. How , ells himself believes that it will be as at tractive a story as any with wuicli his name 1 has been connected.
