How Twelve Men were Saved from Being “Hung. — A friend from New Jer sey had a letter last week from Vineland, iu which reference was made to the late trial and acquittal of Mr. Landis. It sug gested a new way to induce a jury to but simple as illustrations of the agree. After the trial of Mr Landis the jury stood eight for acquittal and four against. The four men declared that nothing on earth could change their minds: upon which one, not a Christian, said: “Then let us try what there is in Heaven.” One of the jury immediately said, “Let us pray.” They all kneeled ruoVt^ ^ a down. | t^BetSe whether her sailing papers TOted The Congregationalsst compares Ply- Tlie Colton Tax—No Time to Cry Af ter Spilled Milk. We are opposed to the attempt now being made by some few in Congress to obtain the refunding of the cotton tax. The writer of this article would get some thousands if this tax could be honestly refunded; nevertheless we are opposed to the attempt to get it, square out and flat footed. We are of the opinion be cause we feel sure that it cannot be re funded to those to whom it‘justly be longs. We are opposed to it because we do not wish to see Southern members lend themselves to any scheme that is questionable by reason of the rings who are connected with it. In nine cases out of ten those who really paid the cotton tax have given up their claims to agents and others, who, if they ever get any thing, will pay very little or nothing at all, as it suits them, to the rightful own ers. Then this cotton tax is such a little wrong, comparatively speaking, that we are willing to let it go with out another word, and devote all our energies to securing the grand object of the Southern Democratic party—equality in the Union. If our members in Congress forget what they are striving for, and devote themselves to such ring schemes as the refunding of the cotton tax, a Republican President will be elected, and the South will be the Poland of the United States for another term of dreary years. There is a large number of Northern people willing and ready to co-operate with conservative Southern people if we are willing to bury the past, and work for the future, but if such co-operation costs the United States the cotton tax, the Republicans would get full control of every Northern State for a decade at least, while a few shrewd scoundrels would get three-fourths of the cotton tax. We hope Southern members will look at this mattei in a sensible way at once. We hope they will take means to quiet the minds of our friends at the North, so that they will not be weighed down by charges of the opposition to the effect that Southern Democrats will de mand the refunding of this tax or of any thing similar. The Radical journals are now using it as an argument against the South and the Democratic party. The seventy mil lions, they say, went to save them a nation, and whether it was constitutional or not, a vast majority of Northern peo ple are opposed to returning it. If they will only grant us equality in the future, and spare us negro despotisms, we can easily give the cotton tax and the rings the go-by.— Vicksburg Herald. A Strange Story.—A prominent colored man, who died on Tuesday and was buried yesterday, just before his death told a most horrible story of a murder committed by himself about three years ago. He called loudly for the “blood to be caught m the pan,” and solemnly averred that he would “never do so again.” Then, in a clear and con nected manner, he stated that about three years ago a white man, whom he knew to have a large sum of money, urauk at his bar and got shaved by h'ni. He cut the customer’s throat with the razor, concealing his body, and at night, as sisted by his brothers (names and num ber purposely omitted by us), he sunk the remains in the canal with a heavy weight attached, appropriating the stranger’s money. He continued that the canal was subsequently dragged by the authorities, which we remember to have been dpne, but the body having been covered by the mud was not dis covered. His last cries were prayers that the horrid scene of the murder should be hidden from his eyes, and he died pray ing forgiveness for the crime he commit ted. Strange as this story may sound, we believe every word of it to be true, and hope the police will endeavor to bring out all the facts in the case. A representative of the AeiPS last night went through the slums and perlieus of Jefferson street, and the mysterious mur der was on every tongue. The fact that publicity of the circumstances would “scandalize” the rest of the family seemed to be the most {prominent argu ment in favor of secrecy.—Lynchburg ( Va.) News. A Caustic Extract From Ills Speech. It is a rule of construction applicable to the Constitution tbat where a power is given and the exercise of that power is limited to a particular manner, Congress has no right tp exercise it in any other manner. If then Congress is restricted to promoting the pro gress of science and the arts, first to science aad the useful arts; second, to securing to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their productions by copyright and by patent right, and, third, to granting an exclusive right for a limited time only, then Congress has no right to patronize or promote science and the arts, that is, all arts, in the manner proposed by this bill. And what is an appropriation of $1,500,000 to erect build ings in which to exhibit the products of science and all the arts, if it is not “to pro mote science and the arts ?” The power to make this appropriation of money already collected by taxation includes the power to tax for the same purpose. The power to make this one appropriation includes the power to levy an annual tax for this purpose. Tho right to erect buildings to exhibit pro ducts of art, carries with it the right to ap propriate mone} from the public treasury to keep the buildings open and maintain the expense of an annual exhibition. And thus we are dnftiug. Barrier after barrier is broken down, and power upon power is usurped. But, Mr. President, it is said that this bill is patriotic. We are just beginning to dis cover it, at the end of five years. It is said “the honor of the government is at stake.” When the Centennial Commission, about two years ago, asked Congress to pass au act inviting foreign countries to come, we did not think then the honor of the govern ment was involved. Nothing then was said about the honor of the government; but, on the contrary, the honor of Congress at that time seemed to bo somewhat involved, at least we thought so, and we took the pre caution to put upon record at that time - and for the third time the declaration, not only to the Centennial Commission but to the world, that we did not intend the govern ment should be responsible for a dollar of this exhibition. It was declared again, when, at the request of this commission. Congress authorized the President to issue his invitation to foreign citizens and sub jects to be represented at this international exposition. Congress denied all liability of tho gov ernment again when it authorized the strik ing off of medale to be used at this exposi tion, because CoDgiess then declared that the medals themselves should be paid for by the Centennial Board of Finance without any expense to the government. Yet some change seems to have come over the spirit of the dreams of Senators. Senator after Senator has rhea to stato that he has chauged his mind on this subject. Mr. Randolph—May I interrupt the Sena tor from Georgia ? Mr. Norwood—Crriainlv. Mr. Randolph—By wliat authority does Congress award medals and give them to those who have performed a meritorious or patriotic act ? Mr. Norwood—I will answer the Senator by saying that I will not follow tho Senator or the Senate into the doubtful field of pre cedent to find authority upon which to base my action and my vote. I stand ^pon tho Constitution and its plain letter, which is the lamp that is to guide my feet ; and if I do not find it there, 1 will not wander upon the uncertain limits of the Constitution, into tho twilight of truth and error, to grope in seeking for a power that we may exercise for an act which is, to say the least of it, doubtful legislation. Precedent aiter pre cedent, such as the Senator ou my left has called my attention to, can be cited, for which there is no grant of power in the Federal Constitution. I do not seek for it; I do not justify them ; 1 will not follow the ignis fatuus of legislative precedent whL-h ever hovers upon tho confines of tho Consti tution and beyond its confines, and over the bogs au 1 quicksands that lie beyond, and where, when we venture, we must inevitably sink. Had I been a member of Congress when the appropriation was asked for to defray the expenses of attending the expo sition at London, at Pans, and at Vienna, I should have refused my vote to thoso bills. And the reason is, as already stated, that the Constitution limits the power of Congress to promote science and the useful arts by the exercise of its power in a particular manner, and in that manner only. ■I have already shown that one of the three propositions submitted by Mr. Madison, and considered and rejected by the convention, was to give Congress the power to bestow [premiums, which, of course, includes! medals. ^ I Mr. Randolph—If tho Senator will allow hue, by what authority does Congress grant, or did Congress grant, pensions to the] [widows of soldiers ? ■ I Mr. Norwood—I have no objection to an swering that question; but, as I said before, all these questions are aside from the issue that we are considering. I answer him by asking what right Congress has to raise an army ? By a power granted in the Con stitution. Who constitute the army ? Sol- disrs. Does it not necessarily follow that if we have the right to raise an army, aud soldiers make the army, we have the power to provide f r our soldiers; and is not a pen sion one of the provisions for soldiers? There is no use to dally upon questions of this character. The question is simply this; it is nothing more aud it is nothing less; “shall wo in construing the Constitution grasp at and usurp a power to be exercised in promoting the arts and sciences which Ithe convention had under consideration and expressly refused to incorporate into the Constitution ? More than that; waiving the question of the consideration by the Convention, waiving the light that | thrown upon the Constitution by their deliberations, and taking the Constitution in its plain letter as we read the English language, as men of common sense and men of liberal education enlight ening that common sense, I say that lang uage limits the power of Congress over the arts and sciences to the exercise of it in a particular way, and Congress cannot exer cise that power in any other manner. But, Mr. President, returning from this diversion, I say the dignity aud honor of Congresa are more involved in this ques tion than the honor of the United States. W'o have said four several times that the United States would not be responsible to the extent of a copper iD carrying on this exhibition, and, after having denied to the Centennial Commission a dollar until last year, are we now to yield ? Are w e to say to them that, notwithstanding we have in corporated into this bill the very language which we have used time and again before, we do not mean what we say ? For one, i am not willing to publish to the world that wo have never intended what we said, and that we do not mean what we say now. Wo are now surrendering, aud in the very moment of surrender declaring that we will never surrender again. Our stout re fusal and our surrender appropriately sug gest a paraphrase of the lEDguage of Glos- [ter— Was ever Congress in this humor woo’d ? Was ever Congress in this humor won ? From $500,000 given last year we now jump to three times that amount, aud I put the prediction upon record, aud I think that time will vindicate my judgment, that the next session of this Congress will witness au application to this body for as much or uior. than we are now called upon to appro- mate, to defray the expenses of this exhi bition aud “to protect the honor of the [United States.” How has the honor of the United States be< ome involved in this matter, I would like to know V I listened in vain for the chair man of the committee to explain. He said the honor of the government is involved. Do we expect the governments of other countries to be hero? Do we expect the heads of governments to be here? Does any gentleman here flat ter himself that he will look into the faces of kings and emperors, of sultans, sul tanas, and pashas? They have not been in vited, in the first place; in the second place they will certainly not come; and, in the third place, those who are coming will come to exhibit their property in the form of pro ducts of art and manufactures; and those who have not these things will not be here except as idle spectators, and they will pav their way. It is a matter of history that the expenses of this government—and when I say government I mean those who went to represent the government at London, Paris and Vienna—were not paid by those respec tive cities and governments. Oar people paid their own way like true independ ent Americans.SThey Ipaid their money, went where they ple'ased, exhibited their wares and their handiwork, and returned home with their premiums. So it will be with those who come from foreign countries here. They are coming here to exhibit their manufactures and to compete for premiums, and those who have none to exhibit will not come. How, then, is the honor of the coun try involved? Is it because we have not made provision in the buildings for exhib iting their arts aud their manufactures? Before the invitation was extended, the Governor of Pennsylvania notified the Pres ident that ample provision was made for the buildings, and if the buildings are not ample the honor of the United States is in do sense involved, and cannot be compromised. But, Mr. President, I pass from this view of the subject to say a lew words on the effect of legislation like this. I believe it will be for evil, and evil only. Its baleful influence will reach far into the future. It is, in my opinion, not consistent with the republican; it is imperial; it is a fungus growth, aud not a healthy product of the constitution. I had always believed from my early youth that there was something in the mission of the American people among the nations of the earth like that of the Jews, who were the chosen people of God. I believe our mission is to level the moun tains, to raise the plains, and to make smooth and straight the way; that we are the pio neers, the advance guard of human freedom. Already have our pickets, following the sun in his course, reached the eastern shores of China and Japan, and taken possession of the islands of the seas. With the banner of the cross in one hand and the flag of their country in tho other, they are parting the jungle and straining forward to reach the be nighted and the oppressed. Behind us the millions in the Old World are sleeping Uuder the tyrant’s spell. But they are lying in bivouac, and now aud then, as the dawn draws nigh and sleep sits lighter on their eyelids, bright dreams of perfect freedom in a land of constitutional law comes to them “in visions of the night” and beckon them away; and, quickened by the joyful longing, they start and wake and try to rise. If we will be true to our faith, to constitutional law, and hold up with steady hand our noble ensign, at the reveille of freedom they will rise in majestic order and follow the standard which we, ia the New World, have raised and advanced on high. But, sir, why has our standard been thus advanced ? Why do a hundred years their radiant wings expand around it ? Why has America, during one century, so far sur passed the States of the Old World? Are wo not Englishmen bV'Drigin? Are we not composite people—English, Irish, Scotch German, French? Why then have we done more than all tho mother States, in the arts and sciences, in subduing nature, destroy ing space, reclaiming the wilderness and desert, in missionary work, and, generally, in the great labor appointed to men and nations—the amelioration of tho condition of mankind? Is it accidental ? No, sir; no. It is the result of American civilization, and this is due to the foi m and spirit of our government, which is a government of law. Complex in form, it is, nevertheless, easy and Bteady in its movement. Rightly ad ministered, it is invisible to the citi zen, and, like the atmosphere at rest, bears equally on all aud oppressesgnone. It leaves the citizen free; free as the casing air, to grow in independence, to ex pand in manhood, aud to stand alone. Were I to attempt to describe the character of au American in one word I would sum it up in self reliance. Self-reliance is the spirit aud soul of self-government. It is photographed in the Constitution. The people in that covenant said but two things “Protect us agaiust foreign foes and Stale against Stato, and leave us free; let us alone.” This spirit burns in the very words which deny our right to pass this bill. For the people said to Congress, “All we quire you to do to promote the arts and science is to protect the products of our brains and our hands against piracy and in fringement, by copyright an l patent-right We ask no more and we intend you shall do no more; for each and every power not herein delegated to you we expressly rt serve to ourselves.” It was self-reliance that nerved the few patriots at Mecklenburgh to issue the first declaration of American Independence heaved the tea into Bostou harbor. It was this that made the undaunted Moultnc re ply to his despairing commander, “Colonel, M hold the fort.” It gave as a rich legacy to American history the fame of Sergeant Jasper, Daniel Boone, Louis, of Virginia, and a thousand like intrepid spirits, aud It equipped the soul of Marion, the swamp-fox of the Revolution, and made him an army in himself. Over the deserts, through the wildernesses, under burning suns whose kiss is contagion, and over Arctic fields of ice it has sustained the missionary who, in bear ing his message from the lather that there is rest, a home for lhe weary soul, tells also the oppressed of a refuge in a land where no tyrant’s foot for a hundred years has trod*. But for this characteristic of Ameri cans the Declaration of Ind.-peudt«ce, whose centennial marks the grandest epoch iL time, save only the Saviour's incarnation could never have been possible. And sir, shall we perpetuate this spirit or shall we destroy it ? If you would strike it down, pass this bill. Pass it, aud teach the people that henceforth they must lean upon the government, aud not the government upon them. Teach them that individual enterprise and self-reliance are no ioDger profitable. Teach the Fultous, the Morses, the Cyrus Fields that the highway of genius to fame and fortune no longer lies through want, privation and the throes of thought in labor, but that it leads through the lobby to the halls of Congress. Let the poor see that the sweat of their brow, transformed into gold, is- dealt out by the gov ernment to the rich to make them richer. Establish fete-dajs aud festivals at the public expense, as did the Roman consuls when moving for empire, and soon the Lupercal will be followed by the Satur nalia. No, let us rather iu this Centennial reconsecrate ourselves to law—to constitu tional law—which is our only hope. As patiots—not as partizans—as sous who have received from our fathers a rich inheritance, as fathers whose offspring must suffer by our departure from law, let us not wander beyond the confines of the Con stitution, or to its uncurtain limit, to search for doubtful power to do a useless act. This legislation has that “increase of appetite” that grows by what it feeds on. If we yield now, where is the resolution, the will that can stay this pressure to reach the public treasury? Schemes, devices many and plausible, will meet you at every turn and press this poisoned chalice of “the general welfai#” to your lips. And who that takes this ^ftp iu the dark can refuse to take an other? But, should any friend of this measure a6k whether I favor a celebration of tho Declaration of American Independence, I tell him yes; but the celebration I desire to see and for the world to witness is far differ ent from the one he is seeking to provide He would diligently search for what at best is a doubtful power, and exercise it to get at the public treasury. He would lay his hands on the money of 40,000,000 people without instructions as to how they wish the cele bration conducted, and hand it over to a private corporation to be used and spent as a few privileged members may see fit. He would deliver over $1,500,000 of the public money to be spent for one reading of the Declaration of Independence and one ora tion at one spot. He woul l tax the people of Georgia $45,000 to be spent in Philadel phia alone, for the benefit of the few, when not one in one hundred of the people of that State will be able to visit the scene where their money will be squandered. He would suppress an exhibition of the general joy by telling the people their money had already beeu taken to provide a vicarious demonstration in Philadelphia. He would substitute a purchased ceremony for a heart-felt, patriotic outburst. He would set tho example of the government as suming control of tho celebration of the Fourth of July and discourage the accus tomed annual celebration by the people. Such is not my idea of what the scene should be on that memorable day. I would have it a simultaneous movement of forty million people along the continent. It should begin as tho gray dawn first lights up the cliffs of Maine aud rise and roll with the sun in deafening shout and tumult, until his parting smile, as if in sorrow at leaving a scene so happy, saddens and fades into the gloom of night. As the lark watching for the purpling east springs from its nest with merry note ; as the mocking bird rises on buoyant wing and joyously revels in the melody of its own song; so would I hear the children of this land, the future mothers and statesmen of America, as they rise on that morning, pour out their heaits in one universal carol. The husbandman should leave the field, the mechanic his bench, tho lawyer his brief, the clergyman his study, the furnace and spindle hush their hum and clang, aud busy commerce furl her sails. If American oratory has not lost its spell; if its silver todgue has not been en chanted into silence by the golden wand, the inspiration of the day and theme should kindle every habitable grove with burning words. “Not iu Jerusalem, nor iu this mountaim;” not in Philadelphia, nor alone in Independence Hall, but wherever the flag of our country is given to the breeze, should Americans do honor to the day that ushered into being the infant Messiah of nations. Beneath our feet in the Celestial Empire, in the islands of all the seas, before the face of kings, the scattered sentinels and disciples of freedom on that day should testify their faith by fitting sacrifice. Let this celebration be grander iD moral sublimity than the celebration of the Greeks on the banks of the classic Alpheus, where those who were lately foes met as friends and their wrongs were forgotton. Let it be more joyous than the song and dance of the Jewish hostR on the banks of the Red Sea. Let it be freer than the jubilees of Israel and prouder than the proudest triumphal march ot Roman Emperor. Thus, and only thus, can we give a fitting testimony to mankind of our joy over the declaration of our right to be free and of our admiration and love for the heroes by whose sacrificial blood our freedom was secured and consti tutional government established and main tained. The Fall of the Old Elm. A few nights ago the “old Elm.” the glory of the Boston Common, fell to the ground with a mighty crash. The aged giant had for many years shown signs of decay and ruin, and nothing hut the con stant care of the guardians of the grounds had kept it alive. It had been propped up, hooped with iron, fenced in from relic hunting mutilators, and all its ancient scars and wounds swathed and bandaged with the tenderest solicitude. But at last the disaster came. The object of New England’s pride and love, rich with antique colonial traditions, and peo pled with its grim, shadowy witches, lay shattered on the ground, and the relic hunters held high carnival around the ruins. The fall of this old tree has a sort of poetic and prophetic interest. The old Boston that loved it is in many respects typified in its overthrows, for the intel lectual and moral grandeur of the old Boston is decrepit also. It is only propped up, bandaged and poulticed, and is tottering, ready to fall. Where are the young men of New England who are to take the places of the generation that is partly gone and rapidly going ? Where are the young poets to take the places of Longfellow, Holmes, Whit tier? Where are the thinkers to take the places of Emerson and Theodore Par ker ? Where are the jurists to take the places of Story, Parsons, Shaw, Rufus Choate ? Where are the statesmen like Webster, or, to come lower, like Sumner, Fessenden and Wilson ? Where are the men of letters to fill the places of Lowell and Hawthorne ? Where are their great men, their orators, statesmen, poets, preachers, critics, judges, lawyers, novelists, their leaders of thought ?—all gone, or else, like the old Elm, bandaged up and propped up, ready to fall. There was a time when New England was a theatre of a splendid int.llectual energy, when there was a something there which men believed in and were ready to think for, work for, starve for, and, if need be, to fight for; when it was a nursery of great ideas that commanded respect, if not sympathy and admiration; when these ideas bred strong men, of a provincial cast possibly and strongly flavored with each other, but still genuine and original and earnest; a time when New England did the thinking for the country, and when her ideas outweighed the wealth of the Middle States aud the oratory of the Southern. But that time is as dead as the Boston Elm, and New England of to-day is more truly typified in its “frog-pond.” It is the day of a dead level monotony of ideas and money acquisition; its moral ideas are on a low-water line. It has no longer a demand for great men. The pictu resque villages that were the home of thrift and varied industries, and wonder ful invention, are becoming factories of “operative” servitude; the inventive brain is silenced in the plunge of water power, the thump of great machineries, and be numbed by the dead weight of vast corpo rations. The rural life is being swallowed up in big manufacturing towns. The rich grow richer and money-logged, the poor grow poorer and more enslaved; the old breed is dying out, aud New England, that ought to-day to be in the bloom of her youth, suffers from all the diseases of the old centres of European civilization. The old Elm saw all this, but being a quiet and brooding tree, not given to Wendell Phillips tirades or Edward Ever ett eulogies, kept it all to himself. But sometimes when a night breeze came from the snowy mountains, or the pure, incorruptible sea he used to whisper a little of this to the ears of the thoughtful old men that lay awake in Boston, and they would toss about on their beds, and wonder what would be the end of it all: when they saw Sumner die exiled from his State by a vote of cen sure upon the noblest act of bis career, and Oakes Ames received with an “ovation” when he came home steeped in disgrace; when they saw the civilization of Boston breeding such pois oned weeds as Jesse Pomeroy, the bell- tower murderer, Rev. Winslow and the countless crimes born of an ever-iucreas- ing pauperage; when the glories of the Websters, the Longfellows, the Storeys, the Hawthornes, the Choates, the Emer sons, the Sumners, all passing away, and lhe representatives of New Eugland tapered down into “old Ben Butler,” and now to “little Jimmy Blaine”— when these wakeful old men saw all this they sorrowed over the old New England so swiftly passing away. The old Elm sorrowed over it too. His bark was thick but he had his feeling! When he had the old New England breed around him he could stand proudly up in the bleakest winter storm, though sheet ed with sleet, loaded with snow and rock ing in the blast. But every year he grew more and more lonesome, and at last, like old Lear in the tempest, shorn of his children, his great heart broke. He tossed up his withered arms, gave a rend ing, shivering shriek, and cast himself down and battered out his last flutter of life on the floor of Boston Common. Baltimore Gazette. Mr. Bright-^ Compromise CurreLey Plan. [From the New York World.] The compromise currency plan of Mr. Bright is as follows: “1. To repeal so much of the resump tion act of. 1875 as fixes the 1st of Jan uary, 1879, as the time for redeeming in com the United States legal tender notes then outstanding. “2. It requires the Secretary of the Treasury forthwith to begin the redemp tion of fractional currency of denomina tions of twenty-five cents and under, by destroying such currency and issuing in its place silver coinage, which shall be a legal tender for all debts public and private in sums not exceeding $5,000. “3. The Secretary of the Treasury is directed to issue on the credit of the United States £150,000,000 of Treasury notes bearing 2 per cent, interest per an num, payable to bearer at the Treasury of the United States, of such denomina tions as he may*fix, not less than £20 each, with coupons attached for the in terest, payable semi-annually in coin. The notes themselves are also to be payable in coin, one- fifth July 1, 1881, and a like amount annually thereafter until the whole sum is paid. These notes are to be receivable in payment of all taxes, excises, and debts due the United States, except on imports, and of all claims against the United States except for interest upon the bonds thereof, and they may be held by the national banks as a part of their reserve, with like effect as legal tender notes are now held, and they shall be a legal tender for all debts due by one na tional bank to another; also for the re demption of notes of national banks and in payment of all deposits in any of said national banks of this date. These notes, however, are only to be issued in ex change for a like amount of United States legal tender notes, which, when received, shall be canceled and never reissued. “4. The Secretary of the Treasury is directed to withhold and retain in the Treasury vaults 50 per cent, of the semi annual installments of interest in coin, payable to the national banks as the same matures upon the bonds deposited by said banks as security for circulation for the period of ten years from July 1,1870, and the said gold shall be held as a part of the reserve of the said national banks respectively, and applied to the redemp tion of the notes on and after July 1, 1881.” A curious story is published by a Ger man newspaper, according to which an officer of the Imperial Prussian Foot Guards has received a challenge, in which thirty officers of his regiment are chal lenged to fight an equal number of French officers, the Germans having the choice character of the American people; it is not of anna and place. An Incident of the War. The Woodstock (Ya.) Herald recently announced that John Hoffman, of War ren county, found during the latter part of January, while hunting, on the top of Massanutten Mountain, at the point or knob overlooking Strasburg, near the site of the signal station, a fine double case gold watch and chain, which it is supposed was lost at that place during the war. In the year 18G4 a detachment of Federal soldiers attacked a part of the Confederate signal corps and drove them from their posts. The Confederates in turn attacked the Federals and drove them down the mountain, killing some and capturing others. The Hagerstown Md.) Twice a Week notices the finding of the watch, and adds : “The writer of the following lines had charge of that signal station on that memorable day in the year 1864. There were but four of us and when the boys blue, seventy-five in number, made heir appearance we deemed discretion to be the better part of valor and retreated in the style of General Banks about that time, in ‘good order,’ but somewhat pre cipitous. Down we sailed from the top of old ‘Strasburg point’ in most beautiful time, but at the foot we rallied, being re inforced by about seventy-five sharp shooters of old Jubal Early’s command, when we retraced our steps, dislodged the enemy and recaptured our signal station. Now, shortly after taking possession of the post we discov ered the body of an officer, a Captain, of the Federal force, a few yards down from the point, among the rocks, with his neck broken. He was not shot, but from his position, he evidently fell in endeav oring to get down the side, or rather end, of the mountain. From the side coat pocket of this officer the writer hereof took an envelope in which was a photo graph, the envelope being addressed “Captain A. N. Pritchard, member Gen eral Court Marshall, Cumberland, Md.” That watch, i o doubt, belonged to the unfortunate officer. Where he was from we have r.ever learned, but probably this article may fall under the eye of some one who knew the gallant Captain, for it was a gallant act to lead seventy-five men to the top of an almost perpendicular mountain peak in the face of the enemy and in the enemy’s country. A “wolf-child,” the real thing, has been interviewed by Editor Francis in the orphanage that occupies the tomb of Akbar’s begum at Secundra, India. He is about 20 years old. and was captured in a wolf's den at Bulandskahar, twelve years ago. He was then fully eight years old, was found in company with the wolf and walking upon all-fours, and the ani mal evidently recognized and protected him as one of her own progeny. No doubt the boy had been stolen and carried off by the wolf when an infant, aud was fed, cared for and Drought up in the wolfish way by his adopted mother. The boy is named “ Saturday,” that being the day he was rescued from the wild an imai’s den. At first raw meat was the food he most relished : he was quite wild and intractable. Gradually he was tamed, taught to walk properly, and subjected to other necessary usages of human civ ilized life. But beyoni the expression of a very few words, language could not be imparted to him. He is evidently half idiotic, though he understands commands addressed to him, and makes known his own wants by simple ejaculations and signs. He makes his salaams to strang ers, and enjoys attentions paid to him. He has a by no means unpleasant face, and there is not a mark of the beast about him except in the scar-prints of his mother wolf, which he points out upon his cheek. The case is a curious one, and attracted not a little attention at the time throughout the world. It was then supposed he possessed capacity for im provement and education, but the efforts of years to teach him have met with very little success. A Bombshell from Andorer. Mr. Beecher encounters another and formidable trouble in the attitude taken by the very fountain and home of New England Congregationalism, the Massa chusetts church at Andover—the seat of the theological seminary. The letter ad dressed by Andover to Plymouth Church “ talks right out in meeting.” It con demns the policy of silence, and very plainly intimates that there seems to be something concealed, and that Mr. Beecher and his flunkey followers of the superserviceablo tribe of Shearmans have sought to prevent, not promote, a really full and fair investigation. This conduct, says Andover, is working great harm to the Congregational Church at large, and to the Christian religion itself. Under such circumstances Andover demands the calling of an Ecclesiastical Council, of from twelve to twenty churches, and six to ten prominent individuals in addition, one-half of the whole to be selected by Plymouth Church and the other half by Andover, and the Council to make a real trial of the case, summoning everybody who has testimony to give. This shocking mess has so sickened us. in common with the public, that the thought of another going over yet once more with the whole misera ble gutter-full of scandal, is too bad to be endured with patience. But it may be impossible to stop it. If Mr. Beecher had taken the advice of his near est and best counseler at the outset, and told the whole truth, it would have saved him this prolonged torture of the rack. He is a good man at heart, and we are sorry for him. And it is too bad that this abomiuable old cargo of rotten fish is to be dumped into the midst of the flowers and the feast of our national centennial year. The old cry arises from the depths of the inner consciousness, i “Nothing is ever settled, till it is settled * right.”—Hartford Times. The police department of Omaha has no respect whatever for the outward forms of religion and worship. It pur sues its duty rigidly, if it has to arrest a whole church in the very act of divine service. The chief of Omaha received offi cial information that Dupre McElroy,alias Carnes, was wanted in Lawrence, Kansas, wheye he was charged with stealing money and then stealing away. The chief found McElroy—colored preacher— holding forth powerfully upon the light matters of foreordination, election and free-agency in a negro Methodist meeting. The stern figure -head of law and order went right up to the pulpit, collared the preacher and choked off the sermon. He told the astonished congregation that their evangelist was a thief. That set tled the question of election and free- agency, anyhow. McElroy acknowledged he had taken the money inquired after, but that he had spent it every cent in missionary work, traveling and preach ing. He was taken to Lawrence to an swer indictment for grand larceny, and his evangelical labors have been suspend ed for the present. Phil Sheridan is getting fat. Lincoln once said to Well s that Sheridan was brown, chunky little chap, with a long body, short legs, not enough neck to hang him, and such long arms that if his ankles itch he can scratch them without stooping. ” An intelligent black boy was trudging along a highway at night in the vicinity of Palestine, Texas. There was a negro woman riding a horse in the same direc tion the boy wus going. The two, or rather three—two negroes and the horse —were in company. The intelligent black boy reappeared in Palestine that night out of breath and as pale as he could %et. He said he saw a ball of fire come out of the sky, and strike the wo man and set her ablaze. The horse ran one way with the woman afire on his back, and he ran back to town to tell the people what had happened. (The people went to look after further particulars of this curious incident. They found the wo man lying on the ground with all her clothing burned off, but with life enough in her to tell that she had been struck in the breast by a ball of fire. The horse was found with his mane singed, and the woman died next day. The people think she was hit by a meteor. Bruce and Spencer.—A Herald cor respondent relates a little by-play of the colored rebellion which may be of interest down here. After Bruce had made his speech in the secret session, Spencer, of Alabama, came to his seat to mollify him, and told him that he must not let Senator Alcorn, who was a mischief maker and disorganize^ persuade him and carry him away from his true friends. “Stay by us; we are your true friends,” urged Spencer. Bruce, who listened in some excite ment, replied: “Governor Alcorn is a gentleman, sir. I know him. He is a gentleman. As for you, Senator Spencer, you are a carpet bagger and a boot-licker for Grant. Go and lick your master's boots, but don’t call on me to do it.” The conversation abruptly ended at this point. <1 There are now 1,154 McKay shoe-stitch- ing machines in use in the United States, and 846 in foreign countries. The num ber of pairs of boots and shoes sewed by the machine in this country during 1875 was 34,146,000 pairs. The men and women dress so much alike in Cochin China, that it is danger ous to slap a man on the shoulder and re mark: “Come, old fellow, let’s drop in here and indulge in a smile.” It may be the old fellow’s wife, you know. Even out in San Francisco some poor devils of distillers are on trial for running “ crooked.” It is getting almost as dan gerous to manufacture Western whisky as to drink it. JEsop, many cen turies since, in one of his fables, represented the unalterable condition of the black man. It seems that there wa3 then a desire to get rid of the complication of color. It was deemed unfortunate that God should have made white and black men, and a philan thropist endeavored to wash a negro white. The result was that the negro died under the operation of washing. A Professor Gunning, of Chicago, ir lecture which he delivered on the 13th instant, represents the hopeless nature of this effort in the following language : “For the black race could not have been derived from the white, and the white could not have been derived from the black. Not diet, not climate, not habits of life, outworking through a million years, could bleach a black race into a white; and neither habitation nor habits could in a million times a million years stain a white race black.” A Well Poisoner.—One C. W. Keith pleaded guilty in the Supreme Judicial Court at Lewiston, Me., recently, to the charge of poisoning the well of B. C. Thomas, of Leeds. Mr. Thomas one day in November last found a whitish powder in his pump and well which experts pro nounced arsenic. Suspicion fell upon Keith, who lived opposite, and it was found, on investigation, that the day previous he had purchased of a druggist in Auburn a quantity of the poison, giv ing a false name. The bungling manner in which the act was done led to its de tection in time to frustrate the design of the would-be-murderer of a family. Keith, up to a few days, has protested his inno cence. Croup may be cured in a minute, and the remedy is simply alum and sugar. The way to accomplish the act is to take a knife or grater and shave off in small particles about a teaspoonful of alum, then mix it with about twice its quantity of sugar, io make palatable, and adminis ter it as quicK as possible.
