RADICALISM AT THE SOUTH.
Almost every mail from America
brings us some new illustration of the
miserable condition of the Southern
! States, under the rule of the party
which has acquired another four
years’ lease of power. Three facts,
concerning three of the noblest States
of the old Union, are noted in a sin
gle paper. Louisiana has fallen into
such utter anarchy that two several
sets of State officers and two separate
i Legislatures have claimed the obedi
ence of the citizens: of which, it
would seem, that neither party was
even decently respectable, and the
quarrel was altogether 90 disreputable
that, though the interests of the dom
inant faction at Washington were in
volved, General Grant shrank at first
from interference. Finally, he decid
: ed to interpose in behalf of his friends,
and, supported by a decree of the Su
preme Court of the Union, (which
seems to have about as much to do
with the matter, under ancient con
stitutional rules, as the Court of
Queen’s Bench), he has ordered the
Federal troops to uphold the authori
ty of the party represented by the
negro Lieutenant Governor Finch
back—the party more odious of the
two to the respectable people of Lou-*
isiana. The Legislature of South
Carolina, from which the South Caro?
linians are excluded, and which is
composed of emancipated negroes and
Northern adventurers, lias elected as
United States Senator a member of
the latter class, who has secured his
election by wholesale purchases of
the votes of negro Legislators. A
dispute arose thereupon, and one of
the supporters of the beaten (negro)
candidate expressed his disgust in
such very explicit language as led, in
American parlance, to “a free fight”
around the Speaker’s chair.
Finally, the State of Alabama, once
among the most solvent and best
trusted in the Union, has purchased
and sold a railway; and, having nei
ther paid the money for the first pur
chase nor received that for the second,
is exposed to the humiliation of see
ing the property held and sold under
an order in bankruptcy. It is need
less to say that no such things could
have happened under the old regime.
Men like Warmouth and Pinchback
would never have been elected to
govern the citizens of Louisiana while
the Southern whites elected their ow n
rulers. A Patterson would never
have dreamt of offering himself as a
candidate for the seat once filled by
John C. Calhoun; and if he had. his
election would have been as impossi
ble as the receipt of bribes by the
chivalry of the Palmetto State. * And
in the old days Alabama’s credit was
as good as that of Canada; and her
citizens were as justly prdud and jeal
ous of her financial honor as English
men of the fiscal credit and good faith
of England. These wretched scenes
are part and parcel of reconstruction
pursued by a Radical Congress, and
applauded by English Liberals. The
Hrot oßjoot of that systoni WRS re
venge—the punishment and degracia- i
tion of the Southern “rebels.” The
second was the establishment of Rad
ical ascendency in the South. The
Radicals know that at the time of
Lincoln’s election they were a minor
ity in the North ; and after the war,
which had given them the ascenden
cy there, was over, they might be
come a minority again. But if they
could appropriate the franchises of
the Southern States to their creatures,
and thus secure a number of “rotton
boroughs,” whose representatives
would be nominated by themselves,
without regard to the wishes of the
people, they might contrive, though
in a popular minority everywhere,
to maintain themselves in possession
of the Presidency, the electoral col
lege, and a majority in both branches
of Congress. In order to effect these
ends, it was necessary to disfranchise
tke real people of the South, and cre
ate a “bogus” people in their stead.
The first was done by means of the
penal acts so lavishly passed by Con
gress. America prides herself upon
having shed no blood on the scaffold.
It is true that she did not, as other
conquering Governments have done,
take the lives of the chiefs of the van
quished party. But it is equally true
that she nas inflicted upon the con
quered people, as a whole, heavier
punishment than has ever been im
fjosed by modern conquerers upon a
arge portion of their subjects.—
Wholesale disfranchisements, subjec
tion to the rule of enfranchised slaves,
and a system of government directed
to fleece the conquered country for
the benefit of its conquerors, have, for
seven or eight years, perpetuated dis
tress and exasperated the bitter feel
ings left by a war carried on with
unusual ferocity. In half the States
of the South a negro constituency,
organized under the leadership of ad
venturers from the North, has mo
nopolized political power; has exclu
ded the Southerners from all partici
pation in the control of their own af
fairs ; has taxed them without allow
ing them representation, and misspent
the produce of those taxes in such a
manner as to add the keenest sense
of humiliation to the bitterest con
sciousness of injury. The honor of
States as honorable as Great Britain
has been dragged in the dust; their
debts have been left unpaid while
their people have been fleeced; their
rulers have filled their own pockets
with the produce of unlawful bonds
issued at an enormous discount; and
while the negroes, who pay no taxes,
have been kept in good humor by
liberal appropriations, none of the
real needs of the country have been
attended to.
The forces of the Federal Govern
ment have been at the disposition of
the peculators and jobbers from the
North who exploit the negroes for
their own benefit. All remonstrance
has been vain. It was as easy as it
was useless to expose the injustice, to
foreshow the effects, of such a policy.
The Radical majority in Congress
eared neither for the injustice, nor
the consequences, so long as they
profited by the one and the South
erners suffered by the other. They
maintained and aggravated a tariff
which compels the Southern planter
or farmer to pay twice the value of
everything he buys—taxes him, that
is, to the full extent of his proper
yearly outlay on implements, cloth
ing, everything necessary to his cul
tivation, not for the benefit of the
Union, but for the personal advan
tage of Northern traders and manu
facturers. Show them that this is to
ruin the South, and they are all the
better pleased; for hostility to the
Southern people is the avowed policy
of their party. Gallant and high-
s pirited nations have been misgov
erned before now. Hungary and Ye-
| netia were ill-ruled after 1849, but at
! leas! their rulers have intended them
to prosper if they would but be con
tent. But never before has a nation
been governed as the South has been
governed since 1665, by rulers whose
avowed object is to punish and injure
them—never before have rulers been
enemies of the country they
It is in vain, of course, to appeal to
such a faction against the folly of
their course. But we might have
thought that those who had no self
ish end to gain must have seen that
every object, we do not say inherent
ly good, but decently plausible, must
suffer by such a policy. Grant that
the welfare of the negro is of indef
initely more moment than that of the
white man—grant that it is right to
sacrifice the latter as completely as
may be neceasftry for the elevation of
the former—grant more than the
wildest negrophile fanatics would
dare to claim—is it not clear that to
embitter the strong against the weak,
the larger number against the small
er, the higher race against the lower,
must end in the ruin of the latter?
The present state of things cannot
last forever, and every year that it
lasts makes the change more danger
ous to the hapless creatures who are
made the tools of oppression and in
justice.
WHAT BEECHER THINKS
OF DEATH.
I have known morbid people to
speculate as to how they were going
to look in their coffins. I have
known grown people who were full
of imagination about the grave.
Death is not onlj heathenish, but
barbarous in their thought.
I never think of dying except with
pleasure, as I would translation. To
me the mere passing through is noth
ing; it may be a little longer or a lit
tle shorter. I have always hoped it
would be very short. I may horrify
some people by saying it, but I pray
God will give me sudden and instan
taneous death. I would rather die
by being struck by lightning than die
with consumption. If it be God’s
will that I should become old and
tottiing and grow feebler and feebler
before I die I am willing that it
should be so, but if I were left to my
choice I should like to break off short
and die a strong man, in the middle
of battle; but that is for God to de
cide, and not me.
Dying to me is not all the humilia
tion of the body. It is the exaltation
of the spirit. It is the emergence of
the soul from this outward form. It
is our developement out of this
sphere into a higher one. It is hot
ushering of men into a state of weak
ness and gloom. It is the inaugura
tion of a condition of power and joy.
It is the moving of the soul in the
direction of amplitude and glory. It
is the endowing of the soul with the
riches of immortal life in its highest
forms and in its greatest beneficences.
I jdo pot know that a nightingale
sitting in the twilight ana singing
with all its little soul, has the least
idea that the whole neighborhood is
charmed with its song; but I can
conceive that a soul may be in such a
blessed state of experience that it
may, like a nightingale, charm the
wide circles in heaven with inspiring
music.
The Apostle did not care to be un
clothed; he did not care to get. rid of
his burden, except by overcoming it
through divine grace; but he desired
to be clothed upon. He desired a
better manhood—spiritual manhood,
heavenly manhood. He did not
take a gloomy view of suffering aud
death. Some men think of dying.
Ido not think of anythiug black or
smirching when I think about death.
I think of gold and precious stones
and flashing wings. Some men
think of an iron gate with an ugly,
grim jailor, who, with a big key, tnat
is not rusty, turns it often. I think
of a “ pearly gate,” as Milton calls it,
which turnsongolden hinges. Some
men think of dying as they think of
disease. I think of dying as the
flight of the bird—higher and higher
into the purer ether.
Now, it seems to me that no
thought of death is valid or right
which does not leave you stronger,
more joyous, happier. lam not go
ing to die downward. lam not go
ing to die toward hell. I mean, by
the grace of God, to die toward heav
en. And lam going to think of it
so as to take some comfort of it be
forehand. lam going to shake the
tree of life so that if I do not get the
golden fruit here, some leaves shall
drop down for the healing of my
heart.
Our Ladies and Their Home
spun Dresses. —We made brief
mention a month or two ago that
numbers of our best ladies were ap
pearing at church and on the streets
in dresses of Columbus made plaids
and checks. The paragraph has been
copied from one end of tne country
to the other, and many have been
the plaudits of the press upon the ex
ample ofour ladies. Brick Pomeroy,
in his paper of the 4th inst., has this
to say on the subject : “God bless
the women of Columbus ! Let them
now prevail upon others of their sex
in the South to do likewise. Let the
women of the South refuse to wear
other fabrics than those made in
their section of the country, and the
day will soon come when the South
will vie with New England in the
wealth and worth of her manufacto
ries and then achieve her lasting in
dependence. With the beautiful wo
men of that outraged land to encour
age industries, men are not patriotic
who do not give this subject atten
tion and support. There is no sense
in paying a Northern railroad capit
alist to transport raw cotton half way
across the continent to his mill—pay
a Northern capitalist to make the
cotton into cloth in New England,
then pay to have the goods brought
back to the South to bo worn, when
they might as well be made near
home and their profits saved to the
country and people where the raw
staple is raised.
“A line of cotton mills in opera
tion from Baltimore to St. Louis,
would injure the fanatics and monop
olist of New England more than all
the soldiers the South could ever
raise—all the lines of forts and fortifi
cations it could ever build. Again
we say, God bless the women of Co
lumbus. Their’s is a glorious exam
ple.”
A watering-place correspondent
writes that “very few bathers bathe
at the West End,” whereupon, Mrs
Partington says she had an idea they
bathed all over.”
A STRANGE MEETING.
In the New York Dispatch of a re-
I cent date Is an incident growing out
of the rebellion under the above
! heading, and the journal referred to
relates how, on an evening or two
j previous, a good looking man, a la
borer about thirty years of age, took
the cars at Centre street depot, New
i ark, for New York. There was but
one vacant seat in the car that he en
tered, and that was by the side of a
handsome and elegantly dressed lady.
The man sat down, and after his fair
companion had removed her veil he
was surprised to reconize in her his
wife, whom he had not seen for more
than twelve years. The lady threw
her arms around his neck and kissed
him tenderly, and mutual explana
tions followed.
It seems that they had been mar
ried just before the breaking out of
the war, at the home of thelady, in
Missouri. Her father was the owner
of a large tract of land, but had only
a little money. He joined the rebel
cause, and the daughter also warmly
adhered to the oppinions of her fa
ther. Her husband, however, was a
decided Union man. She abused
him violently on account of his prin
ciples, and told him if he sided with
the “Bloody Yankees” he might
leave the place, and she never wished
to see his face again.
He took her at her word, and the
same night left her and joined Fre
mont’s army as a private. He was
several times taken prisoner and as
often escaped to our lines. He press
ed on with Sherman to tbe sea, and
at the conclusion of his term of en
listment, joined a New York regi
ment, and by this means, at tho end
of the war, found his way to Newark,
where he has since worked quietly in
a factory.
His wife’s father was killed at
Vicksburg, and she was left possessor
of his uncultivated farms. She sup
ported herself by working in a milin
ery establishment in St. Louis till af
ter the war. Her land rose in value,
and she sold it for a good price, and
realized about $50,000. With this
sum she started a millinery of her
own in St. Louis, and succeeded
splendidly. She is reputed worth
$40,000 or $50,000. She was on her
way to New York to buy goods when
she met the man whom she had sup
posed long ago dead. Remorseful
for driving him away, she had refus
ed all offers of marriage. The joyous
meeting caused the husband to for
give the wife’s error, and a present
of anew suit of clothes, a diamond
ring, and a splendid gold watch,
when they arrived in New York,
served materially to increase his re
spect and affection for his longlost
wife. They are now stopping at a
fashionable hotel, joyous over the ac
cident that reunited them.
A SERENADE.
THE SORROWS OF A SERENADING
lA j v t.n —a uaia an-oir a;ic itis-
EVIDENCE
A few nights ago a gentleman of
this city was going home at a some
what late hour when he heard in the
distance sweet strains of music, or at
least what he first supposed to be mu
sic, but which proved to be principally
“straining” and other dismal sounds
that seemed to come from a bosom
racked with anguish, or a stomach
overloaded with green fruit. Softly
he drew near, and, at last, discover
ed whence the sounds proceeded. A
youth, over whose upj>er lip the bar
ber could not have slipped the back
of his razor blade more than twice,
stood leaning against the gate-post
with his eyes fixed upon a chamber
window in the second story of the
house before him. In his hands he
held a guitar, upon which he picked
with the air of one who is not cer
tain he is on the right string, while
from his parted lips came the follow
ing song:
I have 10-hoved thc-he Zu-hula,
Fo-lior th-hy life was so-hong;
Oh, Zu-hula, da-harliug Zu-hula,
Wa wa has su-huushine all the while,
Here the young man paused to
spit and fill up again with wind, and
then struck into the chorus:
Oh. Zu-hula, moluder-hing Zu-hula,
Si-hileut is my silver so-hong;
Oil, Zu-hula, da-harling Zu-hula,
De-hear departed Zu-hula Zong-oug-ong.
The singer here took a rest of a few
seconds, looked anxiously down the
street to see that no policemen were
in sight, then throwing a peculiar
plaintive sound in his voice ne sang:
When the moo-hoon is shl-hi-ning o’er the la-la
hake.
Oh the-hen, I’ll think of thee-he-he-hee,
Oh, the-hen oh-h thc-he-hen I’ll thl-hl-hi-ink of
thee-ee-ee!
Here the front door being suddenly
opened, a sepulchral voice said “Siclc
himTige!” and out bounced a dog
about the size of a flour barrel ana
with a good set of natural teeth. The
singer turned a back summersault out
of the gate, and with the dog nip
ping at his coat-tail at everyjump,
disappeared flown toward the heart
of tne city. Hereupon, the gentle
man who was a witness to this serio
comic drama, turned and left thespot,
but not until he had seen a middle
aged man in a single garment with

A Glimpseof the Other World.
—Mrs. Gardner, wife of a Michigan
farmer, recently died under circum
stances the most extraordinary.—
Two of her sisters were dead, one but
lately, only a few week ago. The
cause of her death was a congestive
chill, and after she had been consid
ered dead for six hours, and was
being prepared for the grave, she
returned to consciousness and talked
freely with her attendants. She sta
ted to those around her that she had
been to the better land and had seen
both of her departed sisters, with
other friends, that it was a most beau
tiful land beyond description! She
said that she had permission to return
to tell living friends what she had
seen, but tnat she was anxious to
return. She passed away soon after
making her statement, and seemed
overflowing with joy and happiness.

•CIDER AND PICKLES FOR FE
VER.
Some two months ago a resident of
I Detroit named Broer, was taken ill
with some sort of a fever, and for two
weeks there was little hope of saving
S his life. He continued to sink in
: spite of all the physicians could do,
; and they finally gave him up. All
; through his sickness the man had
! continually asked for pickles and ci
der, and when he got so low that his
death was considered only a question
of a few hours, Mrs. Broef decided to
gratify his wishes. A glass of sweet
! cider was given him, and he deciar
ed himself much better for it. More
, was given through the night, in place j
iof medicine, and the next morning
I the doctor declared that a most favor
i able change had taken place. Some |
strong pickles were procured aud giv- j
en him and he began to call for gruel I
and broth. To In; brief, he is now '
able to move around the house, and j
everybody in the neighborhood, as
well as the physician, gives the cider
and pickles the credit of performing
the cure.
PULLING AT THE HALTER, j
A year ago I had a four year old j
horse which had contracted tne habit
of pulling back whenever she was j
fastened. She would be sure to break
loose, if what held her could be bro-.
ken by her drawing in such a back-1
ward way. She was eureri of the
habit by taking a rope two feet long,
fastening one end around her body,
just back of her shoulders, and pass
ing the other end through the ring of
the halter and tying to the post. She
lay hack for her usual pull for a few
times when fixed in this way, but'
soon found she was drawing from her
body instead of her head, which she
did not relish, and soon gave it up
entirely. She can now be left any
where with perfect safety, as nothing
will induce her to pull back when
fastened.— Cor. Country Gentleman.

Plaster on Clover Fields—A
bushel of plaster pur acre sown on
clover fields, as soon as the clover
begins to form its leaves in spring,
will have a very marked effect, so
much so that the trial once made, the
application will not be omitted here
after—try it on an acre at least.
Cure for Dyspepsia.—Dr. Dio
Lewis with his clubs, dumb-bells and
pen, is making an earliest and good
fight against tne abuses and artificial
uses of the present generation. The
best remedy we have seen lately for
dyspepsia, and we earnestly recom
mend it to our dyspeptic friends, he
publishes in a recent article. He says
that “six months of hard work will
cure the worst case of chronic dys
pepsia.”
Gray Hair.—An English

portion of lime In the system ; the
cause of premature gray ha! . and
advises to avoid hard water, cither
for drinking purposes, or wh< i con
verted into tea* coffee, or *. ip, as
hard water is always strong y im
pregnated with lime. Hard "water
may be softened by boiling; let it be
come cold, and then use it as r bever
age. It is also stated that a liquid
that will color the human hair black,
and not stain the skin, may bo made
by taking one part of bay run , three
parts of olive oil, and one >art of
good brandy, by measure. Tie hair
must be washed with the mixture
every morning, and in a short time
the use of it will make the hair a
beautiful black, without injuring it
in the least. The article mus be of
the best quality, mixed in a bottle,
and always shaken well befor- appli
ed.
All kinds of poultry and meat can
be cooked quicker by adding to the
water in which they are boiled, a lit
tle vinegar or a piece of lemon. By
the use of an acid, there will be a con
siderable saving of fuel, as well as
shortening of time. Its action is
beneficial on old tough meat, render
ing them quite tender and easy of di
gestion. Tainted meats and fowl
will lose their laid taste and odor if
cooked in this way, and if not used
too freely, no taste of it will be ac
quired.
Hominy Pudding.—Prepare as ft>r
batter cakes, add one egg to each pint,
some whole cinnamon, sugar to suit
the taste, and a few raisons, and bake
like rice pudding. A little butter or
chopped suit may be added. Serve
hot or cold, with or without sauce.
A few years ago, when the menin
gitis was raging with fearful fatalitf
in the town of Sandersville, the phy
sicians adopted the plan of applying
an iron to the back of the neck as hot
as it could well be borne, and holding
it there until it could be borne no
longer. The result was speedy relief
and fewer deaths than under, any
mode of treatment —Atlanta Herald.
Chicken Pie.—Take two full
grown chickens, or more if they are
small, disjoint them, and cut the
backbone etc., as small as convenient.
Boil them with a few slices of salt
pork in water enough to cover them,
let them boil quite tender, then take
out the breast Done. After they boil
and the scum is taken off, put in a
little onion cut very fine, not enough
to taste distinctly, but just enough to
flavor a little; rub some parsely very
fine when dry, or cut fine when
green—this gives a pleasant flavor.
Season Well with pepper and suit,
and a few ounces of good freah but
ter. When all is cooked well, have
liquid enough to cover tho chicken,
then beat two eggs and stir in some
sweat cream. Line a five quart pan,
with a crust made like soda biscuit,
only more shortening, put in the
chicken and liquid, then cower with
a crust the same as the lining. Bake
till the crust is done, and you will
have a good chicken pie.
THIN BISCUITS, OR NOTIONS.
Take one pint of flour and make
into dough, as soft as can be rolled,
with sweet milk, a salt-spoonful or
salt, and two ounces of lard. Roll
out with the bread-pin into round
cakes nine inches in diameter, and of
a wafer-like thickness. Stick well
with a fork. In baking do not allow
them to brown, but remove from the
oven while they retain their white
ness, yet they are crisp, and will melt
in the mouth.

Tommy, prowling o» the Uwn,
•spied a sparrow just at dawn
Up and at her labors,
Secure and sweet she bopped along,
Or flying westward sang a song
That roused her sleepy neighbor*.
But Tommy intuit to breuk his last,
“That tune, song sparrow, is vour Im
v\ Uatever you intended,
Just light down on the grass agatn,

And so your story ’s ended."
Ttio sparrow is a little cbil,
Aud plaiu of dm*#, hut full ot wit;
80, when upon the grass she lit,
Aud Tommy at a bound
llad whisked her oft behind a tree,
And growled, “I'll make a mead ot Uwt, u
She plucked up courage, “Tom,” said she,
“Just set me on the ground,
And do, 1 pray you, have tfio grace
Before you eat to wash your tacc."
Tom was a cut of high degree
Aud used to good society ;
“Your words are wise, you bird," said he,
„ “Though you’re a silly creature ,
Knowing that lnauners make the rn»n T
He set her down and slow began,
With dignity (can only cuu)
To wash each solemn feature.
Scarce was his paw across his nose.
Before aloft the sparrow rose.
Front tallest tree the garden grows
She sends him down this song:
“O Tommy don’t you wish you could
For breakfast have a sparrow good *
Birds art* such tender, dainty food,
Aud all to cats beloug.’’
Tom eyed her with a rueful grin ;
“I must say, bird, you took me In,
But long as I’vo to stay
Upon this earth so full of cheat,
Os artftil birds aud all deceit,
My breakfast when its caught I’ll eat,
My face wash wheu 1 may.’’

J/r FACTORY.
I live hi Good-will Kingdom,
And for twenty years or more
I iiave owned this model factory,
Just you step inside the door!
There are many unseen weavers
Busily at work within;
There are many wheels a-going,
But you hear no whir or din.
Bee the Heart-wheel In the center,
Large and strong aud never still.
With magnetic power moving
All the other wheels at wilt
Love, the fairest of my weavers,
Tams this mighty wheel, my friend,
Weaving countless threads of beauty
That uo human strength eou rend.
Round this wheel, revolving swiftly,
Watch the wheels of Hop*; aud Joy,
Aud the tripple wheels of Duty
Busy in my life’s employ.
How Hie weavers cheer each other,
i Aati Uow tun wiAl
Tuny offcy Love’s gentle orders,
It would take me long to tell.
In this high and spacious chamber,
With its windows paned with
Boe the Brain-wheal, wheel of magic.
Weaving threads of every hue.
Thought, the wisest of my weavers,
At this wheel unwearied stands.
Until Bleep, with weary fingers,
Steals the distaff from her hands.
God up reared this noble structure—
Twas a God-like gill and free—
And He put the wheels In motion
With this solemn charge to me:
“See you keep this building holy,
Fair without and fitir within ;
Keep the wheels all bright and busy,
And yyur work unstained by sin.'*
But sometimes old Core, on crotches,
Hobbles in and clogs the wheels.
And then Sloth, the cunning vagrant
Follows close behind his ueele,
With a loathsome breath of canker,
And his wallet still of dust,
And with stealthy 6tep approaching.
Specks each Idle wheel with rust.
And sometimes old Mother Gossip,
Gadding where'er she doth choose,
On her way from Tittle-Tattle,
Saunters in to tell the news;
And that giddy coquette, Pleasure,
On her way to Folly-Town,
Btope to show her gaudy trinkets
And the fashion of her gowu.
And sometimes poor Bcowllng Envy
Comes to tell me with a whine,
That my neighbor owns a factory
Twice as large and fine as mine.
But these visitors come seldom,
And they do not tarry where
They must stand iu mortal terror
Os my Watchmen, Faith and Prayer.
80 I live in peace and quiel;
And when any thing goes wrong,
Or the days seem long and weary,
Take my harp aud sing a song;
For my weavers weave the faster,
And the wheels turn swifter round,
When I touch my harp with gladne««
And awake a cheerful sound-
Black Snow.— The K eokuk
(Iowa) ConstiMion of the 13th says:
“On last Tuesday afternoon commen
ced the great snow storm of the
winter, and the greatest storm of the
West for many years. It continued
until Wednesday afternoon; thee
set in afuriou9 wind, which took the
snow from the hills and piled it up
In the valleys. On Thursday morn*
tag the inhabitants of the northern
portion ofth is State when they awoke
were not a little surprised at seeiug
the earth covered with a black in
stead of a white garment, as it was
on the night before. This strange
and unnatural phenomenon is accoun
ted for on the supposition that after
the wind had swept the snow off the
hills then the dry earth was taken
up and scattered over the face of the
snow, giving it this peculiar coloring.
This would be a satisfactory explana
tion if this unusual appearance had
boen confined to localities, but ac
counts say it was general."
A Problem for Insurance Men.
—An unnsal question has been rais
ed in the little State of Delaware.
Professor West effected an insurance
on his life for $25,000, and then mur
dered a negro and mutilated his body
so as to induce the insurance compa
nies to mistake it for his own and
pay over the amount. The question
now arises, when West is hanged
tor the murder will the companies
b© compelled to pay over the insur
ance to his family? The point is
emphatically a knotty one, and curi
ous withal, although It cun ever
arise In a city like New York, where
murderers go unpunished,and where
a poor woman who steals the price of
a loaf of bread suffers a heavier pen
alty than the wealthy wretch that
shoots and tomahawks his victim in
in its most public haunts,—JHr.
