Picklki> Indian Heads.—How Captain Jack, Boston Charley and the other Modocs met their fate on the gallows is known. They died pi me! Everybody expected they would, and nnltody was surprised; but a statement, reaches us from .San Francisco which is calculated very largely to surprise the peopta of the United States. After the execution, the bodies of Jack and Schoncltin were belieaded, and the heads were to be forwarded to the Washington Medical Museum, there to he exhibited, in bottles of alcohol, to tin* curious. Tiie English in the olden time elevated the heads of trouble- scum subjects over the Tower, London bridge, ami lately over Temple liar, and they remained there until they dropped into the river or the streets.

It is with feelings of sadness that we chronicle the death of Mr. Alonzo Buchanan of this city, who met with his death by being run over by a box car on the Western aud Atlantic Rail road yesterday about one o’clock.

The new element is called abaron, meaning weightless. It will not burn, extin guishes flame; is without odor, taste, or color. The discoverer is M.

He did it nt once, saying: It’s aisy enough! Sure there’s two for yon two, and two for me. too. The two received their portion with a greatly increased respect for the advan tages which learning gives a man. The reporter of a Nashville paper who, mentioning a young lady's decease, touch ingly alluded to her as •* one of the bright est jewel* that ever glittered In the dia dem of an earthly home; one of the purest star* that over gleamed upon the frontlet of our social sky, one of the sweetest flowers that ever bloomed in the garden of earliest association," has had his salary increased to four dollars a month, half cash and the balance in cord wood. A writer in the California delivers a Sunday-school address, of which the following passage is an example: “Y.ou boys ought to be kind to your little sis- tera. I once knew a bad boy who struck hi* little sister a blow over the eye. Al though she didn’t fade and die in the early summer time, when the June roses were blowing, with the sweet words of forgiveness on her pallid lips, she rose up and hit him over the head with a rolling pin, so that he couldn’t go to Sunday-school for more than a month, on account of not being able to put. his best hat on.” on the ear next to the hindmost car. No one of the train hands scented to see him until they passed the Western and Atlantic Depot. The train was then running at the speed of six or eight miles per hour. Robert King, a col ored brakesman, who was on top of the train, saw the man as his head appear ed above the side of the car. He then signaled the engineer to stop, and called to Buchanan to climb on top. It seems that Mr. Buchanan misunder stood him, as he at once commenced descending, Mr. C. J. McCrary, the engineer, clid not see the signal, and continued at the same sjiecd. As the train passed Butler’s flouring mill, a curve in the road carried the train so close to the adjoining track, on which were some stationary cars that the trains almost touched. When this point was reached, the man on the ladder was swept oft', and crowded between the two last cars. He fell on the track, and the first car passed over his bo'.y, severing his legs almost en tirely in two. Drs. Henry, West morland and Hamilton were soon on the ground, and administered chloro form and stopped the bleeding of the leaders, and attended to his many wants. He was placed on a litter and carieil to this house on Foundry street. He was perfectly conscious for at least thirty minutes after the accident, and during the time he urged the doctors TO KILL HIM and put him out of pain. He died exactly at ten minutes past twoo’clock, about one hour after the accident occurred. His last words were spoken to his stepmother, and- were: “ Tell Annie to he a good girl. ” By Annie he meant his wife. The deceased man was J. W. A. Buchanan. lie has been livin: the city about five years, formerly lived in Athens, and moved from there here.

A Skeleton Discovered.—A skeleton, supposed to be that of Mrs. Elizabeth Lowell, who mysteriously disappeared from Lewis’on, Me., on the night o; June 12, 1870, has been found in the woods near Barker’s Mills. It was headless. The remains were enclosed in a black silk dress, trimmed with lace, which some ladies have iden tified as that worn by Mrs. Lowell. Witnesses have testified that Mr. Lowell lived unhappy with his wife, and one says that he was seen to chase her about a room, pistol in hand, threatening to shoot her. Soon after the lady’s disappearance Mr. Lowell married again. Some months ago Mrs. Lowell’s mother wrote the follow ing from Hilden to a friend in Lewis ton : “ 1 dreamed that I saw Lizzie in the woods near Barker’s Mills, on her knees, begging for life. Her hands were uplifted, and she was saying, “ Don’t kill me! don’t kill me!” but it seemed to me that somebody killed her and buried her there. ” As prophetic dreams have not much legal value, and as the skeleton was lound in the place indicated, Mrs. Burton (the mother) should he forced to pass through a very incisive exami nation as to the sources of her knowl edge of the affair.

There was recently discovered the body of a woman who had fallen, clutching a bag of gold. The hardened ashes became a mould of the victim. And as this crust did not break, into the cavity plnster-of paris was poured. The re sult was a perfect cast of a woman as she laid, gripping her bag of ninety pieces of gold, two silver vases, some jewels and keys. Hurrying along the street she tripped and fell on her side. Her arm was raised and twisted. Her hand, beautifully formed, is clutched in despair, the nails entering the skin. The head dress, face, tissue of gar ments, and rings on her fingers are re produced exactly. A correspondent says that the Pompeiians were evident ly given up to pleasure, and that their s was a life of sensuality. Even now, lie says, when the city has been buried eighteen hundred years, oue_ is startled by nn air of gavety that clings to it. Doubtless il had its philosophers, but they do not appear. What may yet be revealed regarding this city is be yond conjecture. A late Memphis dispatch says it is estimated that there are now between seven hundred and a thousand poor children left orphans and homeless by the ravages of the disease, and much position where scalawags, carpet-bag gers, and ignorant negro men, are charged with the supervision of their mental and moral development.— Georgetown Times. A New Bird of Paradise.—Signor d’Albertis has found a new bird of Paradise at Atam, in New Guinea, a place situated at an elevation of about three thousand five hundred feet above the sea level, in the Arfak mountains.

The Mississippi scheme originated, it will be remem bered, in the bad state ot the financies of the French government. That government leut itself to an immense scheme for swindling the people, iu or der to fill its coffers. The company, with John Law, a Scotchman possess ing a great reputation as an Amsterdam broker, as its head, had a monopoly of the trade of the Mississippi on condi tion that it should relieve France of it debt. The most extravagant stories of the richness of that valley were told, and the excitement among all classes at Paris was intense. The company was chartered, and after its shares had gone up to 1,200 per cent, above par, hurst. Wide financial ruin followed, and Law died in poverty at Vienna. The counterpart of this organization in En- latul (the South Sea Company) was to have a monopoly of the South Sea trade and was to confer the same favor on the British Government that Law had promised the French. It? shares rose to above 1,000 per cent., and as a con- equencc a great* number of similar companies sprung up around it. The objects were very curious. One was “for planting of mulberry trees and breeding of silk worms in Chelsea Park”; another “for importing a number of large jackasses from Spain in order to propagate a larger breed of mules in England ” ; and a clergyman proposed a company “ for discovering the land of Ophir,” and monopolizing the gold and silver of that country. Toward the end of the year 1720, when the stocks of the various London concerns exceeded the value of fifteen million dollars, news came of tho bursting of the Mississippi bubble. The shares of the South Sea soon fell from 830 to 173. Shareholders press ed the shares upon the market with the eagerness of men fleeing from falling building. Thousands of families were reduced ot one blow to absoute poverty. Old families, whose estates were lost disappeared from society, aud the names of many noblemen were dropped from the list of the peerage of England forever. The event stim ulated emigration to America, where ruined men hoped to retrieve their fortunes.

Some of the students went down under the over-hauging cliff aud fixed the col ored lights. The paraphernalia for the masquerade had probably been ar ranged by those who had previously arrived. Horrible masks and costumes of devils were donned. Then the fires lighted, and the victim was led to the very verge of the cliff. At a .signal, like the firing of a gun close to his ear, or some equally unexpected and be wildering noise, the blindfold snatched off. With the noise ringing in his ears, and held by two fellows in the garb of demons, the scene before him was calculated to in spire the acme of terror in a hoy already bewilldercd. The glare of lights flashed up from a yawning gulf at his very feet, dazing his eyes that had been so suddenly uncovered. Demons danced and howled, with firebrands waved above their heads, around an empty coffin. “ Every device that could heighten terror was displayed. The horrible scene was so suddenly flashed upon him, and was so far beyond anything that he had expected, that for an in stant in his bewilderment he forgot that it was all a farce. Recoiling the counterfeit hell that yawned at his feet he toppled Lee and Mason, who were holding him, and the three fell over the precipice. ” a chinesFhorror.

All of them will welcome the following process to prevent rottenness, a process as won derful in its effect as it is simple and almost costless. It is taken from Ac Bien Public, of Dijon, France. Take linseed oil, boil it and mix it with charcoal dust until the mixture has the consistence ofan ordinary paint. Give to the posts a single coat of the mixture or paint before planting them, and, no farmer, even living the age of patriarchs of old, will live long enough to see the same posts rotten. “Some years ago I discovered the way of rendering wood more durable in earth than iron itself,” says the au thor of the communication, “but it seemed to me so simple, and so inex pensive, that I did not think it worth while to make much ado and fuss about Iff Posts of soft wood thus prepared Forty Thousand Persons Massacred. When the dreadful story of the mas sacre of twenty thousand "people in the Chinese city of Tali (Tali-fu) was an nounced by telegraph, some three months ago, there was a general ex pression of incredulity. It seemed hardly possible that such a vast destruction of life had been accomplished, even aim nj the tiger-like and vengeful t ribes which inhabit the southwestern frontiers of the Chinese Empire. But later details of the bloody collapse of the Mohammedan rebellion in Yunnan confirm the dread ful tidings- Is Tali-fu so far away front the focal points of Western civi lization that the butchery <>f its entire population rouses not even a languid in terest? Modern history gives no record of any such monstrous sacrifice of human life, for the nuinltcr slain, ac cording to tho most trustworthy ac counts, is more than forty thousand people. The piteous tale may never lie told to us in full; hut we are slowly and obscurely learning enough to assure us that the Mohammedan rebellion in Yunnan has, after eighteen years of fluctuating vigor, gone out in blood. The Mohammedans of the province of Yunnan have maintained their religious faith for many centuries. In 1855 they were strong enough to defy tiro Imperial Government, drive out the representatives of the Emperor and establish a quasi authority of their own. In 1835 the central authority ol their new empire was vested in Sultan Suleiman, as he was called, and the capital was fixed at Tali-fu, now made mournfully famous. The Chinese Government., the n distracted and ha rassed by other rebellions which threat ened the integrity of the Empire, as well as by alarming foreign complica tions, was forced to leave the Moham medans of Yuniian to their own devices. Finally, relieved from more^imminent perils, the Imperial Goverment sent a strong force against the Panthavs, a* the Yunnan rebels arc sometimes inac curately called ; and, last February, an army of 200,000 Chinese, after a serge of several months, captured the city of Tali. The “Sultan” is said to have sur rendered himself on condition that the people should bo spared. Poisoning his wives and children (of which we make no doubt he had an abundance), he entered his palaquin and was borne to the camp of the* victorious beseigers. When the curtain of his equipage wcie drawn, he was found dead. He. had swallowed a fata! draught before leaving his capital. The popu lace of Tali-fu were given over to the sword. Momien, the next important city of the rebellious province, subse quently shared the same fate which be tel the seat of the hapless Suleiman. Lending Money.—Artcmus Ward once lent money. He thus recounts the transaction: “A gentlemanly friend of mine came to me one day with tears in his eyes. I said, ‘Why these weeps?’ He said he hod a mortgage on his anxiety is felt for them.

The only precaution to take is to use only well dried posts before covering them with the charcoal paint.” The above recipe is certaiuly cheap, and seems to be well worth the trial. If w hat is said of the efficiency of that simple and cheap (about two cents per post) process be only half true, certain ly it would save yearly millions of dol lars to the farmers and telegraph com panies.

I thought I would not lie hard upon him—so told him I would throw off $100. He brightened, shook my hand, aud said, ‘Old friend, I won’t allow you to out do me in liberality — I’ll throw off the other hundred.’ And thus he dis charged the debt. Why are printer’s bills, these times, like faith ? Because they are the sub- stauce of things hoped for, the evidence [ of things not seen. The strongest plea for the liquor trafic is that it is a certain and rapid way of making money. Is any mart justifiable in allowing the love of gain to influence him to follow a business that caunol be successful, without taking an undue advantage nt the unfortunate? And yet, such is the liquor business. Liquor dealers know that a man who is under tl>e influence of the de mon drink baa no regard for nor con trol ot his money, and the last ecu! he has will be given freely for liquor, even though it should leave his wretch ed family destitute ; then he is knocked out like u dog, and perhaps taken up by the authorities, and fined and im prisoned, instead of the liquor vendor, who is, in every sense of justice and morality, the greatest offender. But ap proach the vendor, and tell him of hri-f wicked and ruinous business, and he will throw the law in between him self aud his traffic, and tell you he is not to blame. Oh ! shame on sneli laws mid law makers. God pity them. That man is an euemy of humanity who suffers his avarice to prompt him iu the pursuit of a business which is at variance with the prosperity, morals and happiness of society. Society is so interwoven in its sympathies, iu its s 1,1 mutual dependencies, that whatever ia one man’s prosperity is the prosperity of all men. Prosperity does not con sist alone in making money, for who ever makes money to the detriment of the public weal, his success cannot bo called prosperity,but a general calamity. The liquor business is prosecuted for no other purpose than that of gain. No other apology is ever offered for it. Let us look at some of the legitimate re. nlts of the traffic. Those engaged in it become insensi ble to every pulsation of human sym pathy. They are totally indifferent to the piteous cries of poor widows and helpless orphans, made so by their traffic. They can laugh at the tears and wailings of broken-hearted mothers aud desolate wives, awl hungry chil dren, tho victims of their ousiness. They can look upon lieauty clothed in rags and shame, without a feeling of remorse that their traffic was the cause. Is it not plniu that if their feelings were otherwise tho traffic would certainly cease with the presen tation of such sorrows, as meet them every day as the truits of their busi ness ? But now let us look nt some of the victims. Go to our State prison, awl behold the number of young men (the hope of the country) brought there by crimes committed while under the influence of liquor. Their charac ters are forever disgraced liefore they have reached their majority of years. And here we find the aged form, dad in the garments of disgrace, and also manhood iu very prime and zenith of vigor. All victims of the liquor traffic. Ail, all the fruits of the liquor traffic, and that recognised by the luws ofan enlighten Christian people. Let us turn this scene to another still more melancholy—the family of the unfor^ tunate criminal there is the aged sire, bowed under the accumulation of years, his steps tottering, his hand palsied, his voice weak yet touchingly plaintive; as lie exclaims in the bitterness of hia soul, my gray lmirs will soon be brought down to the grave in sorrow. The venerable mother, pale and ema ciated, her soul all darkened with grief, is following her companion down to the grave of sorrow. The young wife—we pause, must we paint the pic ture, can any one look at the picture, and then continue in the sale. of that liquid fire, that causes so much dis tress, for time, and destroys the im mortal soul in Hell through eternity? The young wife. Aiul who can look u[Kin that wasted form without feeling all the springs of the soul turned into grief. .She is but the shadow of bet' former self; her young heart broken, the bright buds and roses of her happy uirlhood, all withered and faded ; the lienutiful dreams and brilliant hopes of her youth have all been forever buried lieneath the dark, relentless current of intemperance. This is no picture of the imagination—it isonly an imperfect attempt to delineate a true reality. When wc came to tho renl sufferings entoiled by the giant, evil words are in adequate to describe them. That it is a giant evil in our land, thousands can testify, and will say that *ve haver not presented the picture half so bad as it is. Then I ask shall we stand still and sec avarice ruin the fair hopes ami prospects of the Imppy families upon whom our prosperity and happine's are dependent? Shall we not make an ef fort to have a law passed by the Gen eral Assembly for the protection of the helpless and innocent, against the avaricious, unfeeling liquor dealers? Have we not tried long enough the power of moral suasion to be thoroughly convinced that nothing hut the strong arm of the law will check tho evils of the liquor traffic ? But we hear some ready to say, we are uot strong enough to elect Temperance meB to make our laws. If the Churches would take the matter in hand there is plenty, professing to be disciples of Jesus Christ to-day, who would conie- up as a man and cast their billots for men to pass a damage law upon the vendors of ardent spirits.
