HOW CONTRACTS ARE 31 VDE.
To make an agreement biudiug,
one party must make an offer and the
other accept it It takes two to make
a bargain. The parties must be of
the same mind at the same time. A
man asks n dealer what the price of
an article is; tho dealer answers, giv
ing the price; the buyer says ho will
tako it Thero is no contract here
unless the dealer then agrees to sell
it When a man makes au offer and
tho other accepts it, tho second must
let the first know that lie accepts it
If a man agrees to guarantee that an
other will pay for what he purchases,
those who trust the party on the faith
of tho guaranty musi notify tho
person who made it, or he will not
bo bound.
Again, if one offers to pay one hun
dred dollars for a horse, the seller
to accept in twenty-four hours, the
proposer is not bound unless the
other does accept within that time.
More than thi3, one who makes an
offer can withdraw it at tiny time be
fore it is accepted.
It an offer is made find no time is
stated for the buyer to decido wheth
er or not to make tho bargain, the
buyer must decide within a reasona
ble time. The length of timo that is
reasonblo differs with tho commodity
that is bargained for. Baihvay and
mining shares, for example, must bo
bought quickly or not at all, for the
law will not permit a buyer to wait
until the price of goods is sure to
have changed, before deciding. With
other things that havo a steady val
ue a longer timo for reflection is per
mitted.
The offer must bo accepted as it is
made. If a seller offers ten barrels
of flour at six dollars & barrel, he is
not bound to sell five barrels at that
rate. When land is offered for sale
and the buyer offers to take it if the
title proves to bo good, the buyer has
not made a contract that will bind
the seller.
A contract that is mado in sport,
or as a mero matter of form, is not
binding.
If a mau makes a promissory note
while showing another how well he
can write, the note is not binding
upon him unless it has been sold
to some person who knew nothing
about it and paid for it
A man who is embarrassed in bnsi
ness gives a bill of salo of his prop
erty to a friend, to cheat his credit
ors. No contract exists and the
creditors can hold tho property. But
tho person in whose favor the bill of
is mado out can hold the goods against
the fraudulent debtor.
Another case of this kind is often
seen in newspaper articles. We read
that a lady and gentleman go through
tho marriage ceremony at a public
entertainment to amuse their friends,
and afterwards find that they arp
roally married. This is not true.
Tho marriage contract is no more(
binding thnn any other contract nn-j
less it is made and intended seriously,
not in sport.
The contract must be mado freely
and not undor compulsion. If a rob
ber holds a pistol at a traveler s head
and threatens to shoot him unless he
gives a note for a sum of money, the
note thus obtained is worthless.
Again, a landlord takes a boarder's
wedding suit from him on tho day
tho latter is to be married, and re
fuses to give it up until a note" is
given for board due. The landlord
cannot enforce the payment of a note
so given.
False statements made by either
party will make a contract worthless.
If a person buys land, the seller say
ing that there are twenty-five acres
in the plot, tho buyer may refuse to
accept it if there aro in fact only
twenty-three acres.
GEN. FREMONT'S LAST THROW OF
THE DICE.
Poverty is the portion of a horo
rho long antedates Grant One of
the unite Laired and whiskered old
men who toddle in Nevr York, bearing
tho unmistakable evidences of re
versed fortunes, is Gen. John O. Fre
mont. Half a century of adventnre
and bold scheming has left him poor.
Of lato ho has made a living as a civil
onsnneer. Ho is no pauper nor in ab
solute penury, except by comparison
with his former prosperous estate.
Ho is now on his feet again for anoth
er chance after wealth. His course
lies to Mexico, where ho is to survey,
acquiro and share in owning an im
mense tract of land. "I have high
hopes of dying a millionaire, after
all," ho said to me, before setting
out, "but I may fail, and I am con
vinced that this is positively my last
chance. I haven't any time to lose,
and I feel like a gambler who has
wagered his final remnant of money.
My capital was energy, boldness and
possibly some brains, and. I have got
to tho end of it, after playing a pretty
heavy game of alternate winnings
and. losses. This is the last throw of
tho dice." It should bo added, how
ever, that Fremont's present venture
has every mark of legitimate enter
prise. 2V. T. Correspondent Balti
