OUtt PARIS LETTER.
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.]
Pams, January 1, 1873.
Under the Mother Republic, New Year’s
Day commenced on the 221 September;
previously it was fixed on May morniDg;
then at Christmas; then on the Feast of
St. Martin, and later at Easter. It was in
15G3 that Charles IX. decreed henceforth
the New Year should date from the 1st of
January, which France has since ob
served—the epoch of 1792 excepted. This
is the favorite time for taking stock, and
many politicians, like tradesmen and sin
ners, now strike a balance. France has a
good deal to carry to her profit and loss
account for gain. She has been success
ful in finding the millions to make np
Germany’s milliards. Perhaps this is all;
aud it is not a little. It was the practice
of the accieut Egyptians to caase their
dead to appear to be judged by the living.
The defanct 1872 will resemble those na
tions that have no history. If the dead
year hus not effected much good, it has
not, on the other hand, done much harm.
The Assembly was characterized by much
noise and little work. Literature has been
largely occupied in solving the adultery
question, and Las succeeded in leaving it
where it was. There has been a good deal
of rain, but not enough to wash away the
numerous points noirs. Philosophy ha*
failed to square any of , the various circles
existing around the body politic, and
chivalry to make journals more tolerant
and courteous. The past year in fact has
continued the convalescence of France in
tho sense of saving her from a aerions re
lapse. Speed the parting guest and wel
come the coming one.
To judge from the popular telescopic toy,
called “th=> future ot France,” a peep into
the tube reveals Gambetta’s photograph.
Ham ! His petition campaign is anything
but “the long innjestic march” he prom
ised us, but then the attempts of his an
tagonists at counter-petitioning are worse.
The French do not understand this legal
way of attacking aa abuse, nor have they
tLe patience that Gobden aud bis L«agna
displayed to effect their ends. The year
1873 will, in all likelihood, see the depart
ure of the last Prussian from France,
after which consummation, M. Thiers
might rest and be thankful. The Assem
bly will continue as canal to throw “time
elaborately away.” Bat what it may
“cod aw lute” no ono can predict. The
country is cursed with various pretenders,
and Republicans just as much divided.
The only thing certain to prophesy is
that tKe “outs” will make common war
against the “ins,” and that the opposi-
I lion, irrespective of its color, will claim
poly of all the virtues of Kbml-
ism, till it sacceeos to office the better to
repudiate them. Proudhon observed,
that for the Presidency of the Frenoh Re
public, a mau with moustaches, being at
the same time a soldier and a prince, was
necessary; in such case it was possible to
guard tho Republic—pending some time.
M. Thiers has left Paris for his legal
residence at Versailles to-day, where he
will receive congratulations from all who
desire to offer them. The Bourbon Palace
will be as free as the White House. The
only Berions danger before him is the pos-
t-ibiiitv* uf dying from indigestion, us he
;s almost being be-dinnered to death by
the Ambassadors, all of whom are by vir-
tae of their office, endowed with Ostrich
stomachs.
Victor Hngo invented the mandat con-
tructuel; the Comte de Saiucthcrent has
acquainted us with the Right Divine Man
date, a shade more liberal than a former
Duke of Newcastle, who claimed to do
what he liked with his own. Tbe Connt
lias replied co his constituent* of la
Crease, that he owes them uo explana
tion, his doputyship being a matter for
i.is conscience and his God, a response
that the Legitimist press applauds. Why,
Henri V, himself, in bis circular letters,
showed how he “grinds Divinity of other
days down into modern uae.” It would
not be surprising if the Count were re
elected out of fun for his audacity.
France is ever tha country of progress.
The resignation of the French Ambaest-
dor, accredited to the Pope, has sur
prised by its suddenness only. Every
person here knew that the duplicate
French Ambassadors at Rome would ulti
mately grow weary of their chiens de
faitnee attitude, and the visit of the offi
cers of the French guard-ship at Civita
| Vecchia, was but the spark applied to the
train. There is a large party iu France
who regard the Ambassador to the Sover-
I eign Pontiff as a protest against the Ital
ian Government and a reservation of l
Franc.? m favor of the temporal power. M.
; Thier , no friend either to United Italy,
or United Germany, or free trade, has
! had to tow to events by accrediting a
| second minister to the Qairinal. The in
cident promises to raise a most delicate
discussion when the As.embly meets, and
may complicate relatione with Italy, if the
Government of the latter insists on tha
withdrawal of ihe French man of war
and one of the Dromio Ambassadors at
Rome. Tho Italians have Germany at
their back, andean thus defy both France
and Austria.
The Bonapartists have been giving us
lessons in d’plomacy.by divulging through
the due de Graraont, confidential dis
patches from Austria, and through M. de
Los ten de, ex-French Ambassador at
Madrid. M. Thiers frequently asserted
that the ex-Empire bad no allies at the
declaration of war against Germany. Tha
duke produces round about dispatchss to
show that Austria promised to strike in,
but as we know, backed ont like little
Denmark, when fortan^ deserted Francs.
It wu • very wrong for Austria to abet the
Second Empire in its unlounded and sel
fish a tack on Germany; bnt it was only
n poor human nature that she should
remember Sadowa. Bismarck knew her
little game, and planted Russia in her
Hank, with the prospect of ultimately dis
membering her. As to diplomatists say
ing or writing one thing,- and doiDg an
other, that is their doty; when exposed
the world laughs. To be iound oat is the
crime, as the discovery of the tbeft, and
not the thing stolen ensured punishment
among the Spartans for use of dexterity.
Besides, an Ambassador has been describ
ed as “an honest man sent to lie abroad
for the commonwealth.” M. Lostende
treats us to a very natural letter from his
master, Napoleon HL, advisiDg him to
proclaim highly the doctrine of universal
suffrage for the Spaniards in the election
ot a king, bat “to smile and be a villain,”
by returning to France on urgent private
affairs in ca=e-aniv*ffsal suffrage selected
tho Montpensier—to say nothing of tbe
Hohenzoilern. Dabbling in Spanish affairs,
and bo hbamefally, led to the overthrow
of the First and Third Napoleons. The
Imperialists have just issued a pamphlet,
assuring by the post office, all whom it
may concern, that the Second Empire is
on the point of beiDg restored; that the
Communists are the cherubim of France,
tho Bonapariists the seraphim; the Re
publicans only scoundrels, and the
Monarchists of all colors, Tartufes and
knaves. Sach are the compliments of the
season from friends at Chiselhnrst, and
curiously enough dated, “Innocents Day.
Daring the last twelve months it has
been calculated that upwards of forty-five
Japanese Embassies have arrived in Paris;
the Japanese are well liked, and already
we call them the “French of Jhe East.
Bat what a pity China does not send n* a
deputation at this moment, when tbe
members would ste from an ombrella-
pt int ot v ew, a man and a brother in ev

real m'Uieres premieres, the rain is appa
rently as much a fixed institution as the

and people made weather-proof. The
Seine having fallen explains why salt
cod and other sea fish that the restaurants
have palmed off as “fresh” have fallen in
price.
Leaving to the venders of articles de
Paris—a category that includes oranges,
cocoannt, and Sooth American beef—to
erect their own booths along the boule
vards, has not produced any independent
order of architecture nor cheapness. The
neat stalls of Baron HdUssmanu, that
fatigued by their sameness, have been re
placed by wooden huts repulsive by their
uniform ugliness and coffin-like smell,
the boards being as new as those used lor
“shells” in the fosse Commune which ate
expected to hide the corpse only till cover
ed by the earth. Then one-halt of the
toys sold have been imported from Ger
many, and thio act of vandaliem aftt>r
swearing by the Styx and the altars of the
ouunlry never to deal with the invader.
Truly this is the age “where only the
ledger lives.” Previous yeais displayed
better toys. Perhaps the Censor ot Toys,
who is the same personage that presides
with the scissors over dramatic produc
tions, hns been unusually severe this sea
son. However, it is too bad to think that
those playthings which bit home the
Prnssians have been made by the
hcathe^fe themselves. Give ns back a
little of the wild freshness of morning,
tbe paste-board guillotines of 1793; tbe
English and the Russians thatconfouLded
politics under Napoleon I., or even tbe
“Roman question toy,” that many be icve
was the only thins original prodneed
under the Second Empire. This season,
also, there is a decided tendency to deal
in the useful for presents, and, unhappily,
even in this respect, purchasers feel their
purses twice b*fere giving an order.
It is not the fashion now to expend
thousands of francs on speaking dolls with
false chignons, or on bonbon boxes with
four sous of sweet meats within. A good
toy, if cheup, new and simple, will make
a fortune. Such was the history of the
red balloon filled with gas for infante.
Most business is done io whistles, artis
tically worked snail-shells, and the class
of knick-knacks at one sous. With chil
dren the desire is to have something new,
even for an hour ; hide the plaything for
a few days, and its reappearance will be
equal to a first pleasure. A squeaking sheep
or a bellows-barking dog,a dollwith a dress,
a hat, and a pair of shoes, are all welcome
and cheap to those children who are no
children, and can yet appreciate a trifle as
the token of esteem. It is a gratifying
sight to Ree tbe workman lead his little
ones beforo the endless rows of stalls
and buying them a knick-knack oat cf
his “pinching?,” as he promised every
day during the past year; then parents
who caunot buy bring their children to
look on ail the same. Were I Roths
child cr SirR chard Wallace, I w^uld like
to write a cheque to bo expended ev«ry
New Year’s Day id purchasing toys for
children who can buy none.
The baggars are tolerated in the city
to-day, juat as they were under th© Em
pire on tho fifteenth of Aufcu.st. There is
every variety of speaking misery, disgust
ing to the eye and saddening to the ear.
It is consoling to think that after night
fall, when the vagrants must retire to the
outskirts, many cripples fi?d tbe use of
their limbs, and recover from life-long
infirmites. The rag-pickeis commence
to understand the spirit of the age; a
number of them have formed a joint
stock company (limited) by means of
which they will avoid being fleeced by
the middle men—professionally called
“ogres”—who, like lawyers and their
clients, gave the unfortunates bnt too
often the shells of the oyster as their
share in transactions.
One of the most pitiable sights at this
moment is the Morgue. Its “twelve
tables’’ have each a tenant, th© bodies of
parsons found drowned after the subsi
dence of the floods. Their clothes setm
to show that they were well-to-do work
people, bat not a document was found to
identify them. People go to lock at the
corpses. I would suggest to a visitor to
go there, tarn his back to the glass par
tition, and look at the “crowd.” He will
see, as it were, a bunch of aii the feelings
and emotions of cynicism and terror that
human nature can display; some people
smoking, one or two reading a paper, a
few finding refreshment in oraDges, an
oh ! there, a laugh here, and sobbing in
a corner.
The suicide mania is on the decrease.
Young Duval, who shot himself for the
loss of that old courtesan, “ Cora Pearl ”
Cruch, has seen all the poetry of his con
duct vanish since a photographer made
him a brilliant offer to be photographed
on his sick bed. It must not be concluded
that these dramas are evidence of F.ench
decadency. Ever since Troy “ love ” has
produced catastrophes, and there is a case
in point where an individual Ids. his rea
son in love for a statue. Happily “ the
dramas of love have never a second act.”
Thosd who support each Purynes as
Cruch do so out of sheer vanity, to be
talked of, and ibe majority of these foois
are foreigners. The evil is, that the public
evince a enriositr to witness these sirens
of the demi monde—in the theatres all
glasaess are levelled at them ; in their
pbmtonsall eyes are turned towards them.
“Back your carriages,” says a French
dramatist to the soiled doves, “and make
way for virtue, which walks on foot.”
Let the world pay no attention to these
creatures, and public manners will be re
formed. However, crowds go as ever
now to witness tho expelled woman’s pal
ace, to see her furnituro and gew-gaws
before being anoticned off.
Among the latest inventions is a speedy
plan for making tho “last toilette” for the
to-be guillotined, and a “biogalyanome-
ter,” by which persons can test at what
rale they depart this life—and a process
by which, when dead, they can be coated
like a dish-cover in siiver, or gold, or tven
in copper, according to their moans.
Thus, man is returning to the golden age.
“Madame,” said a doctor, “your hus
band will likely lose an eye.” “Which,

A philosopher has appeared, who pro

The Remarkable Suicide of Young
Mr. Edmund Hilton.—Edmund Hilton,
employed in John Stephenson & Co.’s car
factory, committed suicide yesterday
morning. Hilton, who is 25 years of age,
lived with his aunt, at 243 Fast Twenty-
fifth street. Insanity seems to have been
hereditary in the family. He had borne a
good character, but a recent attack of
catarrh had aggravated his inherited
malady, and for some time he had imagin
ed himself a person whose crimes were so
numerous and flagrant as to bo unpardon
able.
Yesterday morning his aunt found him
so unwell that she persuaded him not to
go to business. He begged her to sum
mon the Rev. C. Dickson, pastor of the
Twenty-seventh street Methodist Church,
as he heard him preach a sermon last
Sunday, and thought that a little conver
sation with him would be of benefit.
Thinking that her nephew stood more
jo need of medical than clerical assistance,
Miss Hilton went to the house of Dr. Bow
ers, in Twenty-ninth street. On her re
turn home she found her nephew’s room
locked. Climbing through a small win
dow, she found Hilton with his head
nearly severed lying on the floor dead. A
large knife, which had evidently been
used first, was on the floor, and tbe right
hand firmly clatched a bloody razor. A
nearly empty cap on the table contained
Darin green. He wes a spiritualist

A miserable English charwoman has
had the audacity to call the Earl cf Win-
ohelsea to court for debt, and his lordship*
treated the matter with contempt. An
execution was issued against his goods
and chattels. The officer with the writ
was resisted by a legion of flunkeys whom
he first whipped and then sned. The
charwoman got her money. Nobility can
easily be another word for meanness.
Some of the stories told of the terrible
fatal effects of the late storm in Minneso
ta are almoat incredable. One paper
reports that a sleighing party of six young
couples, with their driver, were all found
frozen to death, buried almost out of
right in tbe snow.

dl’redit-Mobilier Pictures.
The Credit-Mobilier investigation in
Washington furnishes “Gath,” corres
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, with the
following pictaree:
Judge PoUnd, chairman of the com
mittee, looks like a French marqnis. He
is a tall, aristocratic-looking old gentle
man, with full, white hair, and full, white
side-whiskers combed forward. His nose
is straight and long, and his profile hand
some; but when he tarns his fall face he
seems to carry a mouth full of tobacco,
and speaks with a sense of apprehension
that Home of it may spill. H:s method is
courteous nearly to a iauit, and slew to ir
ritation; but as there is nothing of the
demagogue or sensationalist about him,
and as he is what he appears to be—a
kind and generous old gentleman—all
iook with confidence to his return of the
facts ifthdr spirit.
Oakes Ames is a very large man, of the
type of a Yorkshire manufacturer—gnarl
ed, spectacled, with great bent shonlders,
a slow walk, aud prodigious limbs and
feet. He will probably weigh two hun
dred and eighty pounds, and he looks to
be six feet two or three. He has strong,
coarse, brownish hair, and bristly beard
around the long, stern-wheeled shaft of
his jaws. His forehead is low, and the
nose seems to be half of the face. Tbe
eyes behind the spectacles are small, and
of a slow, searching look. Ames came to
Congress with the soul of a commercial
traveler, and, if expelled from it, would
fetl no particular inconvenience or loss
of self-esteem. The shovel which his trip-
hummor heats into shape is scarcely
harder, and a* the man grows old he
rusts, bnt is too rugged to decay. Ames
made small bones of teliing the most of
what he remembered about Congressmen,
and but for Alley he would probably have
remembered considerably more.
Alley sat by his side ail the while, lift
ing or lowermg his brows suggestively, as
Ames helplessly looked round at him for
counsel. He is thirteen years the janior
of Ames, who is nearly seventy years of
age. Alley was a shoemaker in boyhood,
aud he is cow the proprietor of the best
house in Lynn. He is proud of his money,
and holds to it with the desperation of a
cannibal husbanding his last corpse. He
is a short, demure, whiteheaded man, and
has an endless tongue, which testifies all
manner of hearsay, aud covers time and
spac9, to tho exclusion of information and
to the prejudice of more modest and less
dcubtlul evidence. Alley has enormous
ly profited by Abies’contracts, and he ap
pears iu Ames’ letters as the incorrigible
opponent to every dividend to outsiders.
He was the chief adviser to Amea’ coarse
toward McCombs, and he is really on the
spot at present as the principal and coun
sel of Ames.
Colonel McComb’s statement of the
amoants received by the Union Pacific
Railroad Company is thus given by the
same correspondent:
First mortgage bonds $28,000,000
Government bonds 28,000,000
Land bonds 13,000,000
Income bonds 10,000,000
(Tho rats mortgaged prospective
things as well as property.)
Stock (considered entirely as
profits) 36,000,000
Total endowment $115,000,000
“Now,” said McComb, “subatract Al
ley’s estimate of what the road should
have cost from the gross total ; because
the * profits,’ as he calls them, went to tho
company, which contracted with itself.
The remainder will be $71,000,000. Of
this, nearly sevonty-five per cent, was
realized. Ames says that even his stock
must produce par or he will hold it That
stock fell once to nine, at the time Bout-
well proposed to stop the mail-mone.vs
and collect inleresc. It selle at present
for thirty aud thirty-eight. Had the com
pany worked with unity and without
leads, ns the Central Pacific has done,
the stock would have been at par or above
par. The gross profits under any circnm-
stances were from $30,000,000 to $50,000-
000.
No wonder that such % sum of money
ran over into Congress and corrupted the
fountains of legislation there.
Some Curious Deductions from the
Census,
The New York World has taken the
trouble to go through the ponderous
volume* comprised in the report of the
Superintendent of the Censua, and has
gleaned from them some very curions and
interesting facts. For instance, tbe popu
lation of the thirty-seven United States is
reported by the census of 1870 as 38,115,-
641, made tip of 33 203,128 wLites. 4,835,-
106 negroes 56,179 Chinese, and 21,228
civilized Indians. According io nativity
this population i* made up as follows:
Foreign
Native. born.
Whites .27,795,017 5,407,111
Negroes 4,825,012 9,494
Chinese 507 55,672
Indians 20,476 752
real electoral balance of puwer in the
United States. In round numbers our
voters stand : native white, 5,750,000 ;
foreign born, 1.500,000;negroes, 1,000,000;
total, 8,250,000.
Close to the elective franchise lies the
question of character. The census reports
the number of persons, respectively, in
receipt of poor support and those iD prison
on the 1st of Jane, 1870, a:.d avers its
figures to be “quite accurately deter
mined.” These figures make the following
showing:
Pop’n. Paupers. Criminals.
Nati’e..27.796,617 44,353-1 in 627 15,986-1 in 1.740
F’n B’n. 5,407,111 22,69^-1 in 238 8,6^4-i in 626
Negroe* 4,t)35,10« S.265-1 in 622 7.960-1 in 608
Or while the foreign boru show the
greatest proportion of paupers, the ne
groes have the greatest proportion of
criminals, or are the crimmai elans as the
foreign born are the paupor class, par ex
cellence, of tho United States. Iu tire
old slave States the figures of pauperism
and crime make this exhibit :
Pop’n. Pauper*. Criminal*.
White*. 9,478,077 12.902-1 in 735 6,028-1 iu 1,885
Negro’s. 4,495,370 6,856-1 in 656 6,275-1 in 716
It will be remarked that both whites
and blacks in these Staten make a better
showing as it respects both pauperism
aud crime than is disclosed in the United
States at large. A comparison of the re
spective conditions of the negro in tbe
old slave and free States is interesting,
the figures standing thus :
State*. Negroes. Pauper*. Criminals.
Old slave.. .4.495.478 6.856-1 in 656 6,275-1 in 716
Old free.... 339.628 2,371-1 in 143 1.671-1 in 204
All philanthropy and politics to the
contrary notwithstanding, these figor»s
insist tha: pnbiic schools, churches,
equality, and other favoring circum
stances have had no tffect on the North
ern darky, that he has shown himself
retrogressive instead of progressive, and
manifented himself ia 1870 as a far big*
ger beggar and rogue than his compa
triot ot the Southern cotton fi.ld and
rice plantation.
Some other carious revelations of the
census may be very profitably recapitu
lated here. New England is nothing if
not moral, and th#South nothing if not
such a land as Wasington Irving painted
it—a roystering country, given over to
cock-fighting, juleps, horse-racing, and
other profane sports. But let the census
speak. Taking the six New England
States on the one hand and the sjc South
Atlantic States, counting Virginia and
West Virginia as one, on the other, wt

With the same population the “cock-

wealthy New England’s 5,421 churches and
“go 6,146 better.” A further nut for our
godly brethren of the East is as to the
way their paupers and criminals compare
with those of the South. Taking the
same States, and Raving out the foreign
element in the one and the negroes in the
other, so as to come down to the hard-pan
of the native stock in either region, we

[From the Memphis Appeal.]
As Memphis is no little excited at this
present time over the recent exposure of
Footer’s spirits, another short chapter of
modern wonders, that would, with Messrs.
Foster, M.an>fie!d & Co.’s followers pass
current as undoubted spirit manifesta
tions, if only claimed as such by the per
former—might not be wholly uninterest
ing or unprofitable to your readers.
In the prosecution of my “field-work,”
in this part of Mississippi, I have fallen
upon informavioD that yon may rely npon
>io authentic, concerning “a new wondtr”
that has appeared in Amite county, near
Liberty, Mississippi, in th# person of a
“Piney woods boy,” some twenty years of
age, named Bostick, uneducated aud un
sophisticated, boiffi aud grown in the
backwoods of the Pearl river country —
untravelled beyond “the usual due that
girds him round,” to Itarn the ways that
are dark and the arts that art slick. This
yoath, unblessed with the instruction of
“ muster artists,” can execute to perfec
tion the wonderful “tying trick” per
formed by the Davenport Brothers, and
Miss Clara Robinson iu your city, to the
immense gratification ot the large family
of confirmed spiritists, and the conversion
of hundreds of the credulous to ihe faith
delivered by the Fox girls, and confirmed
unto them by Davis and Hare, Foster and
Mansfield, Clara Robinson and Dr. S.
Watson, of noLler name than they.
This youth, a large, big-jointed hard
working follow, will allow himself to be
tied with a coil of small cord, in any con
ceivable manner, in a thousand knots, un
til he is enwrapped in a perfect net-work
of rope and knots, and around his neck o
tigutiy as almost to prevent his breathing,
and then around his wrists and the arms
extended, stretched, and the end; of the
rope fastened to staples in opposite sir! s
of the room. No mortal ingenuity wiih
a rope coaid tie a man more - cnrely, and
- apparently—more helplessly. The bands
being thus tied and fastened apart, and
yet in a few secon.is he will be found
standing free, and :hj network of rope
without; a kn untied ! He says he
would offer a thousand dollars if he had
it, that no man can tie him sc that he
could not free himself in half the time it
took to tie him, aLd cot untie a knot!
He does not require a “cabinet” or dark
cioset, as the Davenports and Miss Rob
inson do, but he does it in broad daylight.
They claim that Lhev do it only by the
aid of spirits from the other world, and
it is regarded by IDs whoiespiritual family
as proof stronger than demonstration of
Holy Writ, that spirits do communicate
with and assist morta.a; bqt this niney-
woods boy doei if without the assistance
of spirits, and iu the light, ar.d before tho
eyes of men; and the point R, he “turns
an honest penny” by teaching others to
perform the trick for five dollar.© a head,
and these scholars can do it liko their
master ! If it is a trick—a sloighl-of-hand
art—of French legcrdemiin with this un
tutored boy, is it not also with the above
parties? And is it not sufficient to bring
a blush to the ebook of Memphians to
know that hundreds, if not thousands, of
our fellow citizens, <iDd among these not
a few of oar professional and intelligent
men, will believo the trick of spiritual
mediums, public showmasters and uns
tresses to be demonstrative proof that the
Word of God i3 a fable?
But he does another wonderjhat “beatn”
Foster’s pink letters. He will, for a
reasonable consideration, allow any one
to thrust a knife through his arm or wrist,
and after examining the blade upon each
side until satisfied that it is really through
the flesh, draw it ont without a drop of
blood 11 wing, or the least sign of cut or
mark whatever. What medium ever
equalled th:s manifestation? P.nk letters
are nowhere. Nor has tho half yet been
told. Ho will allow any one to load a
pistol with a marked ball, and c with
in a few feet of him and discharge it at
Fis head, and in every instance he will re
ceive the ball in his mouth, and come and
spit it Into your han 1—the identical ball !
What will those who “wonder” after the
tricks of Foster & Co. say to these things?

Dangers of Kerosene—Terrible Acci
dent to an Entire Family.
The St Louis Republican says:
About six o’clock on Monday evening a
most terrible accident happened to Mrs.
Brownlee and her son and daughter at tbe
iamily residence, in this city. Mrs.
Brownlee, her eldest son (William), a mau
oi about twenty-five years cf age, and
little daughter Lucy, aced twelve years,
were seated in an upuer room m the
house. While the son was reading from a
paper, a fire-engine came rattling dowu
Franklin avenue. Supposing there was a
fire close by, he jumped suddenly out of
his chair to the window to see where it
was.
A large lamp lately filled with kerosene
was setting on a m-intel-piece just above
tbe fire-place, aud as he jumped his body
came in contact wiih tho mantel-piece
ana knocked the lamp on the floor. They
had not yet lit it, bat as tbe globe struck
the floor tho fluid sploshed in every direc
tion on the carpal and lnruiiure, aud it
i-, suppo.-od that some get on Mrs. Bro
lee’s dress. The instant the kerrsonse
struck the grate the floor near tho hearlh
became enveloped iu flames. The son
turned to the mother and fister, telling
them to hasten Irom the room. Instead
of doing this, however, Mrs. Brownlee
seized a broom Irom the hall and began
sweeping the flames and fluid into the fire-
p ace. No sooner had tbe broom touched
the fire than her dress caught.
The poor womau rushed out of the
room into the hall, down stairs through
the back part of the house, and back
again to thescene of tho accident, followed
by her terrified son, who was unable to
stop her until she came down stairs the
second time, and then bo had to exert his
whole strength. Mrs. Brownlee had on
calico wrapper, and by this time tbe gar
ment was completely consumed by the
fire. Her under-garments were yet in
flames, and as he caught her he wrapped
her iu a blanket he bad secured in his
flight in hopes to smother the flames. She
fell on the fleer in the hall, and William
and little Lucy then took to beatic£ her
with their hands.
The little girl’s clothes caught fire then.
Ths yonng man became frantic, and in
his frenzy grabbed the mother in his arms
and carried her to Mrs. Geyer’s residence,
which is at the upper end of the same
row. By this time the flames in the room
had attracted the attention of officers
Richardson ead Ebnch, who harried to
the place and extinguished the fire, and
saved the little girl from being burned to
death. Leaving his mother at Mrs. Gey-
er’s, William hastened back to his home
to care for the others. As the excitement
subsided fce began to realize tbe extent of
his own injuries. Both hands were badly
burned, the light one being iu a most
critical condition.
Mrs. r>*-ownlee’s injuries are of a very
serious character, her face being badly
burnt, also her limbs and breast. The
yoong man may possibly lose his right
hand. The little girl is the less »eriouaiy
injured of the three. The accident has
cast a gloom on the whole community
wherein thev reside.

The native Chinese are the feeble proge
ny of the Asiatic colonies on the Pacific
coast, with an occasional young Celestial
from the coolie laborers in Lonisiana and
Texas. The few foreign-born Indians are
from Mexico and Canada, though here
and there one appear* from South
America or the Sandwich Islands, and
oue copper-colored immigrant is set down
as from Baden! Of the 9,494 foreign-
born negroes 3.375 came from Canada,
the descendants, no doubt, of our old
fugitive slaves, and 1,982 are from Africa,
relics, perbeps, of our surreptitious glare
cargoes slipped in, a la Wanderer, in by
gone years. The rest come from every
part of the globe. Of the sixty count, foe
taken note of in the census we have negro
immigrants from fifty-one. Hardly a
country in Europe but contributes to our
black population, though of coarse in an
infinitesimal degree. Even such improba
ble sources as Norway, Poland and Raiaia
furnish their quota, Ireland and Greece
being almost the Dnly exceptions to the
general rale. China and Japan likewise
contribute, as also the isle* of the 9«a as
represented by Australasia.
For all practical purposes, however, the
Indian and the negro may be regarded as
a native, and the Chinese as a foreign-
born inhabitant. The exceptions are so
slight as to be merely carious, and it is
only when we come to the nationality of
the whites of the United States that any
serious inspection is possible. The 5,-
407,111 foreign-born whites are thus made

Iu view of sach a showing ae that tbe
“foreign vote” is but out-fourth th# native
white vote and less than one-fifth of the
entire native vote, the absurdity of the
usual campaign jeremaid over the influ
ence of foreigners upon oar elections can
be seen. Moreover, fractional as the for
eign vote is, it loses most if not all its
power by the manner in which it is east
The ratio is about one foreign-born voter
in each 3.6 of that population, which gives
us about 510,757 Irish and 462,305 German
voters. As a rale these votes are cast in
such diametrically opposite directions as
to neutralize one another. The Scandi
navian, Canadian, Welsh and other foreign
votes are cast about as much for one party
perhaps as the other. The only real dis
tinctive race vote which “ tells ” is not
foreign at all, but native, being in fact the
negro vote of a million, which forms th#
.very port]
the globe. Rnssia, Germany. Austria,
France, Italy and England have made
liber d appropriations for defraying the
expenses of the various scientific expe- i
ditions to be sent ont, and Congress has
lately appropriated $50,000 for carrying
out the same purposes in the United
States. That sum will probably be
doubled in order to make the arrange
ments for observation on this continent
equal to tho^e of the European organi
zations. The observations of the solar
eclipse, two years ago, L»y American as
tronomers were universally acknowledged
to be equal in delicacy and value to any
stadies of the like phenomenon ever
made in Europe, and tho fruits of Ameri
can researches Ly telescope and spectrum
analysis are now largely quoted and
praised by the highest scientific authori
ties abroad.
The general reader, we opine, has a
very vague and indefinite idea of the par
ticular results which are expected to be
attained by the proposed expeditions,
and how they are to subserve the interests
of science in so remarkable a degree.
The direct object aimtd at, of course, is
to.determine the exact distance of the sun
from the earth. This knowledge secured,
the astronomer hold* in his hands a key
which unlocks the mysteries of the visible
heavens, and enables him to calculate the
distance from planet to planet &i accu
rately as the surveyor can measure the
shortest and straightest line of road.
It will be eight years before tho next
transit of Venus occurs, after which impa
tient astronomers will be compelled to
wait until the dawning of the twenty-first
century, or tbe year A. D. 2004. The
approaching opportunity is, . therefore,
too valuable to be lost, and a conscious
ness of that foot BL-ems to pervade the
entire scientific world. If the preseat
arrangements are carried into effect, noth
ing save icmti universal and unprecedent
ed disturbance of the elements can pre
vent fall and perfect success from being
attained, and the grandest astronomic.il
triamph of the age achieved.

Tragical —The tragedy which resulted
in tho marder of Miss Ada Schiassi
Naples, by her lover, Gordon, and his
suicide, has brought trouble upon two
families of position and worth. The de
tails of the fatal shooting and the insaffi
cient causes of it, havo been' before giv
en. Gordon, a retired English officer,
with children as old as the yonng lady,
fell in love with Miss Schiaesi. and when
she persisted in rejecting his importuni
ties, killed hor and then himself. The
funeral of this young lady, so highly es
teemed by ail who knew her, was inex
pressibly sad. The beautiful corpse,
adorned with flowers, and laid out in a
while offin, w*s carried to rest in the
Protestant Cemetery. The crinister re
cited the last prayer* over the body and
then blessed the mother who was almost
frenz ed by this sadden and crushing mis
fortune. A short time ago a brother of
Ada married a Belgian lady to whom he
had been long attached, bnt bofore the
wedding party separated she died in his
arms. Gordon was dealt with according
to an old custom of consigning to the
deepest ignominy the bodiea of extreme
criminals who cheated the scaffold by sni
cide. Hi3 head was cut from hi# body
and his gory trunk cast into a ditch, with
no prayers or signs of mourning or res
pect. The ministers of worship officially
denied any bit wing to the remains of the
unhappy man who had died in Bin. Gor

General Butler Reminded of Some
thing.—As General Butler, the valiant
bombardier of past belligerent scenes,
was passing through the corridor of the
House of Representative# Thursday after
noon, he was accosted by Mrs. Bowen, of
South Carolina, a Pettigrew by birth, who
has stood by her husband in his varioas
troubles:
“General,” said she, “can I say a word
to yon?”
“Madame,” responded the bombardier,
in a loud, gruff tone, “I have always
made a rule never to speak to a woman in
the capitol.”
“And I,” retorted Mrs. Bowen, in a
shrill, clear voioe, “have always made it a
rule never to speak to a man mat I knew
was not a gentleman. I regret that I have
departed from it in the present case.”
Exit the bombardier, very red in the

A Case of Wholesale Poisoning. —
The wholesale poisoning case in which
Charles Shaw, living in Cambridge, N.
Y., is charge^ with causing the death of
several members of his family, proves to
be oue of the most terrible crimss ever
committed in that section of the State,
and approaching in cruelty and the hor
ror of its details tbe deeds of the Connec
ticut Borgia. On Thursday morning of
last week Shaw called upon the physician
living ic town and requested him to oorne
to bis boase. The physician did as re
quested, and found Mrs. Shaw and aix of
the children very iil and seemingly in
great pain. Suspicions of foul play were
immediately entertained by the doctor,
and prosecatieg his inquiries he learned
that they were first attacked on the Tues
day night previous, and it was useless to
resort to stomach pmnps or emetics, as
the poison had impregnated their systems.
One of the daughters died that night, and
a post m.rt ( m examination being hell,
facts were discovered which proved con
clusively that poison bad been adminis
tered. Mrs. Shaw will probably die, being
already paralyzed, totally blind, and the
result in the cases of tha two surviving
children is very doubtful. Shaw, the hus
band and father, is in custody, under the
charge of rnnrd -ring his daughter and at
tempting to murder his wife and five

for a long time feared that her husband
would poison her, and on one occasion he
endeavored to engage his nephew to put a
poisonous white powder in the food of
his family., A woman named Briggs is
also under arrest on suspicion of having
induced Shaw to commit the crime.

Just at the conclusion of a recent cir
cus performance in a North Carolina
town, the clown stepped forward and in
formed the vast assembly that they had
taken in about $600 that day—more
money, he ventured to say, than any
minister of the gospel in that county
would receive for a year’s service. Ha
then plainly told them that a large por
tion of the audience were church mem
bers, w r ho wguld plead their poverty when
asked for money to support the gospel,
and severely exposed their inconsistency.
A few Sundays after, he preached in the
same community, and made a strong ap
peal for missions, when a collection was
taken up amounting to $438.

Editorial from the Macon. Ga., Telegraph and Mes»
fenyer, of January 12, 1573.
A Remarkable Core.
Our readers will peruse with the deepest inter
est the acsompanjing card of Mr. R. W. White,
of this city, relating to his wonderful reilef from
Diabetes, that terrible malady which usuaily de
fies all human skill.
So thoroughly impregnated with saccharine
matter were the urinary deposits of the sick man,
that when snLject»4 to evaporation, candy had
sctuallt been the resldaum. Most of his living
had been spent unavailingly for medical advice
and treatment, and death seemed Inevitable.
But in the hands of his eminent practitioner, bis
restoration has been rap'd and complete, and
now he appears on ihe stand to tell the story of
his unexpected resurrection almost from the very
jaws of the grave.
Dr. Jones is daily performing other wonderful
cures, and his Lime is drawing to him patients
tven from the neighboring States. Yesterday Le
performed delicate and successful operations
upon two ladies for cross eyes and cataract, one
of whom had came from South Carolina to con
sult him. In diseases of the ear, too, he is
squaiiy skillful, and insert* artificial drums or
tympanums, when that organ has been destroyed
by concussions or otherwise These are very cu
riously and delicately framed of India rubber.
The public will be gia<f to learn that his distin
guished physician has consented to remain a f.-w
day* longer at his quarters at the Brown House.
The sick «nd suffering would do well to lay their
cases before him without delay. Whil^there is
life there is hope.
Rukabxable and G iu:at Cub* of Diabbtks—
(suqab IN TH* Ubin*)—Bt Db. J. a. Jones.—For
nearly three years I was sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabetes—eugar in the urine—
during which time my sufferings language could
not descirb*. My disease was contracted m Sep
tember, 1870—nearly three year* ago—while in
th* employ of Ool. Edmund^ Harrison, in Mont
gomery, Ala., who knows of my case well. I was
treated by a.l the best physicians of the principal
Southern cities, and nearly all cf them gave up
my case as incurable, alter treating me for weeks
or months. I also tried tho mountain air of Bir
mingham. Ala., and tried bitter- and all kinds of
patent medicines. Nothing reached my disease,
or touched the root of It, or changed my urioe,
wilicb was white, and soon after being voided in
the sun crystsllzed into sugar. I had to get up
every half hour during the night to drink and
void watsr. Everything I ate and drank turned
into sugary urine; and thus, by ounces, I was
wasted and reduced from a stro*g, healthy, stout
man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton of 69 pounds.
Forty-eight hours after I commenced Dr. Jones’
treatment my urine changed to a natural color
with the natural odor, and in a few days my pains
and ill* all left me, and I feel as well ss I ever did
in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural
and regular bowels, and am gaining my former
activity and strength daily, but my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bad effects of the mar-
cury, iron, arsenic, etc., given me before I saw
Dr. Jonos. I have not taken over an ounce of
medicine from Dr. Jones, and it was pleasant to
take, and he neTer changed his remedy, and gave
me but one small bottle of that, but it went to the
vory spot, and I and my wife both saw that I was
cured, and I both felt and saw it afeer the first
twenty-four hours’ use of Dr. Jones’ medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great
physician, for my shroud was preparod and at my
bedside, and my disease was pronounced incura
ble by so mscy physicians, some of them stating
that no person had ever been enred of diabetes.
It. W. White, Macon, Ga.
I know Mr. White; have known him for many
year*, and can testify to the truth of the above
remarkable cur* by Dr. J. A. Jones.
