A New York correspondent of tho Troy Times thus recalls Motley’s first literary ef fort and failure: “I well remember the time when Motley came to this city a poor and ambitious author, with a catch-penny novel under his arm, looking for a publisher. The Harpers got the book out, and the writer of this had tbe pleasure of selling it bebiud the counter cf a Broadway bookstore. It was called “Morton’s Hope," and, like many oth er hopes, proved a severe disappointment. Such was Motley’s beginning in 1839.” An important linguistic work is in prepara tion abroad, to be entitled “Frimitive and Universal Laws of the Formation and Devel opment of Language: a National and Induc tive System, Founded on the Natural Basis of Onomatops." Mr. Patterson of Edinburg hopes to pub lish, in October, in four volumes, the edition of Gawain Douglass’ poetical works, on which Mr. Small, the University Librarian, has been engaged for the lost four years.

The proclamation printed below has been lately issoed by the provincial treasurer of Hupei, a district in China, condemning the destroying of female children. It is interest ing both from its quaint language and as iUoatrnUaa the degree of civilization which prevail*ifltoma part* of that country: The pitorincial treasurer of Hopei has to issue a proclamation prohibiting, in the strongest arms, the drowning of female chil dren. Inffncient times tho girl T’iying beg god hi* 1 liberty i jjosty to permit her to sacrifice her brder that her father, who was in tight be released from bondage.

At time, too, the treasurer appre- *; no lack of daughters equally * themselves to their parents, names of their family as il- T filial acts of devotion. Such bc- , bow comes it that the female in- l upon as an enemy from tbe s birth, and no sooner enters an it is consigned to the nearest r? Certainly there are parents l an affection for their female iu- kcar them np, but snch number enty or thirty per cent, pus are either (1st) that the child \y in disgust because the parents y children already, or (2d) that from sheer chagrin at haviug 0 but females, or from appreheu- i mother will not conceive again ngh if she has to suckle the child; 1 the fear that the poverty of the make it difficult to devote the own child, when the mother rwise biro herself out as wet nnrse. ) are the most Btupid of reasons, [ignorant of tho fact that no men from heaven without some share 9, and that hunger, cold or bod- > matters of predestination, so ns and heirs, which are oven in a ) dependant upon the destiny of i cannot be forcibly coaxed out of kt those have to do who are unable bverty to feed tbeir children is to f to the Foandling Hospital, where > reared up until they become wo BMteffaA^ives, and where they will always b6M*»«f ei enjoying a natural lifetime. Wife sogard to the question of money or no monflj in the bridal casket, means or no means bringing up a family, why, tbe bare noeeenaries of life for such children in the shape of the coarsest gown and head gear do not cost much. There are cases enough of poor lids not being able to find n wife all their lira? long, but tne treasurer has yet to hear of a poor gir! who cannot find a hus band, *0 that there is even less cause for anxi ety on *** score, liut there is another way of looking nt it. Ileaven’s rctribntion is sure, and cam are common whore repeated female births hare followed those when the intents hare been drowned; that is, man lores to slay what Heaven loves to beget, and tbpee perish who set themselves against Heaven, as those die who take human Ufo. Also, they are Haunted by the wraithB of their mur dered children, and thus not only fail to hast en the birth of a male child, bat rnn a risk of making victims of themselves by their be havior. The late governor, hearing that this wicked castorn wss rife iu Hopei, set forth the law some lime ago in severe prohibitory proclamations; notwitbstanding this, many poor disMcts, and out-of-the-way places will not allow themselves to see what is right, but obstinately cling to tbeir old delusions. Hia Cbienyen, a graduate from Kianghia, and others, have lately petitioned that a proclam ation be issned once moro prohibiting this practice in strong terms. The treasurer bos now to issue this prohibitory proclamation for tbe information and instruction ot tbo people and soldiery of tbe whole province:— Wherefcre you are now required and re quested to acquaint yourselves all, tliat male and female infants being of your own ilcah and blood, you may bo visited by some mon strous calamity if you rear only tbe male, and drown tbe female children. Let all henceforth start np from their delnsive leth argy, and exhort their neighbors to eschew this dreadfnl abomination; let them cause their families and neighbors (o become alive to Its terrible nature, and with one will and consent wrest themselves from under its per nicious influence. If these exhortations are looked upon any more as mere formal words, and if any people with conscious wickedness neglect to turn over a now leaf, they will be pa nished, (but with one degree of additional severity) tinder tho law providing for the pun ishment of “wilful homicide of children and grandchildren.” llelatives living with snch offenders and neglecting to reseno the chil dren, or deliberately inciting the parents to drown them, will also bo severely dealt with.

Electrical RESEiRcHES.—Some ol the con clusions derived from receut electrical re searches are thus sammaried in the columns of Les Mondes: The vapor of water does not hinder the production of tbe current, \rhich decomposes it into its constituent gases. The current, while determining the combi nation of nitrogen and hydrogen, decompose s equally ammoniacle gas; but, in both cases, and without absorbent bodies, there is found in thefcjaseous mixtures a quantity of ammon ia, quite feeble but sensibly equal. Nitrogen, under tho influence of the spark and the vapor of water, disappears to produce au undetermined body, believed to bo made of ammonia. Gaseous pbosphoret of hydrogen is similar ly incompletely decomposed by the current, and this decomposition is accompanied with phenomena which prove first the formation of liquid phosphorus, then solid phosphorus,and lastly, a body supposed to be tho same sub stance iu its shapeless state. Defining tho difference between dramatic and narrative art was a favorite pastime with many ot Lord Lytton’s characters; and tho distaoetion between dramatic and lyric poetry so charmingly given by Lily Mordauut, in “Keuelm Chillingly," is one of tho most memorable passagos in tho book. Goethe’s “Faust," it is said, is partly bor rowed from a legend, and Marguerite is Mile, de Kletteoburg, whom Go*the kuew when, like his hero, he was studying alchemy. Mrs. Chapman Coleman, who hao written a life of her lather, Hon. J. J. Crittenden, has iost completed n translation of (t Good Lack," by Werner, which we are informed will booh be published. From tbo Kansas City Times, 2d. There appears to be some doubts in tho minds of many of tbe people of Linn county, Kansas, as to the entire responsibility of Kel ler for the murder of Mrs. Boyd, her two children and his own wife; and if the thread of circumstances now . being unraveled leads to anything, it will be to the arrest of an accomplice of tho Herman who was hang by the mob at La Cygne. From Mr. Ormsby WaT, deputy sheriff, who was overtaken by tho lynchers while endeavoring to take Keller to Paola, additional information has been ob tained, which, if verified, will dispel the mys tery at present enshrouding tho murder of the four sleeping innocents. It will be re membered by those who read tbe details of the hanging of Kellor, that ho stubbornly re fused to confess bis gnilt, and even a minute before the wagon began to move from beneath his feet, he repeated his denial, saying to the husband of the murdered Boyd family when he placod the rope npon his neck, “Von have got the wrong man.” Circumstances which have transpired since the execution lead many of the more intelligent p eople of Linn county to believo that Keller was not alone on the night of the butchery. These suspicions have almost bccomo verified, und through the efforts of detectives it is thought that the clue to the Becrct will be exposed and the accom plice discovered. Mr. Way states that while he rode with Keller, and before the lynch ers enmo np with them, the old man acted as gentlo os a child, and although he con fessed to burning tho house, repeatedly denied having a hand in the murder ; bat boyond this brief confession and denial he would not say more concerning the tragedy. The change in Mr. Keller's deportment Mr. Way attributes to the conduct of one of the mob, wbo, being a personal enemy of Keller's, pursued him with the tenacity of pur(>ose of a bloodhound. When this man came up with Keller cronching in the brash, with chains upon his hands and feet, ho jumped npon him nnd beat and kicked him in a brutal man ner. It was then that all the stolid ferocity ot the old Herman manifested itself. His blood seemed to boil in his veins, while a whito foam uppeared at his lips, so powerful was his rage sud passion. From that moment to the time he swung from tbo wagon his manner seemed changed. He became in- aiffurent to his fate, and refused to con fess or to explain aught done on the night of the bntohery. To Mr. Gore, of the La Cygne Journal, he, in answer to questions concern ing tbo footprints at the creek, said ha had been there to water stock, and another time, that he had been to a neivhbor'a, a German's, to stoal apples in the night Hut concerning the murder he would say nothing. It now transpires that he did have help in this hel lish deed, and that there is some reasonable probability of this “help" being discovered und brought to punishment But while there can be no doubt as to Keller being tho man who homed down the house, there sooms to be a growing doubt as to his being the only person implicated in the murder.

(For some reason or other the following dispatches intended for the Herald to-day toiled to appear:) Accident to a Train Hand. This morning whilst Ligo Beeves, * train hand on the Macon & Brunswick road was coupling cars at Jes sup station, he was caught between the bumpers. Hia left thigh was badly crushed, and he la supposed to have received internal injuries. He was brought to the city by the train, and medical aid summoned. Hia wounds are not ncccsrarily mortal. The phaeton of Dr. Patterson, while descending Bond’s Hill this morniUF> ran against the horaea, when they, immediately taking fright dashed down the street at a furious rate. It was filled with the totally, all cf whom were hurled io the ground. For tunately and almost miraculously nono received other than 7ery slight bruises.

Thestr. eta are agaiu getting very dusty. All the trains arriving aro well filled with passengers. Not enough mouey has yet been received frem tho sales of cottou to have any perceptible effect upon the money market, or rather to put it in general circulation. In fifteen days hence quite a change will be porceived in this particular. Trade has wonderfully revived during tho week, and as a rule our merchants are doing a very satisfactory business. Tennessee Beef for tile Fair. All the butchers in the city are making preparations to supply the market with choice Tennessee and Ken tucky beef for the forthcoming State Fail.

The Macou Telegraph denies that Mr. Shropshire stated that the circulation of the HxnALD was five times greater than the Telegraph. What Mr. 8. did say was that the number of copies of the Telegraph received at that office waa nine, that of the Herald forty-five! 80 he had been Informed by the post master. But all this is a small matter. Mayor's Court. Mayor Huff being still sick, Alderman J. W. Burke took the chair. Ouly one case was brought before him and th*t was the old crazy woman, Francis Barton, who has been np a dozen times. She was for the fourth time aent to the County Commissioners, who have steadily re fused to have anything to do with her, on the ground that she is but recently from Florida. She certainly onght either be sent back or placed in our own asy lum. Jail Delivery. Last night Greene Williams broko out of the Bar racks, at the City Hall, aud made good his escape. He forced a plank seven feet long from the back of his cell, then prized an iron bar loose, and got out. He waa put in there for disorderly conduct, and a warrant waa also issued against him for stealing. He was to bar* been taken before Judge Weems to-day for trial. The two federal deco, ters are atill iu the guard house, waiting lor a guard to come from Atlanta, which will take them back to their commands. Drowsed.

A MAX GOES NINE HUNDRED FLEr DOWN A MINE SHAFT AND IS MASHED TO ATOMS. WHOLE NO- Gaorge Elliott writes moat and b«*l between six and nine in tbe morning. Tho Virginia Enterprise tells that last week Maurice P. Cahill, a carman employed at the Chollar-Bostul mine, was accidentally precip itated into the main shaft, and falling a dis tance of eight hundred and ninety feet was instantly killed. tVe copy: “It appears that Cahill was at a tunnel which connects with the main shaft at a depth of lorty feet below the surface, where ore care are received nnd run on* of the mine to tho dump. He had just taken .v fnll car off the cage and run it back a Bhort distance out ot the way, wbeu ho proceeded to rnn an empty car back and place it npon the cage. Bnt in the meantime, unknown to him, the cage had been hoisted toward tho surface, and tho car he was pushing pitched into the shaft, draw- ng him after it to his death. As the empty cage came to tho snrf.mc, tho foreman, who was at the month ot the shaft, heard a rambling as of something falling bo- low, and remarked that a car must have goue down the shaft. An immediate examination was made, which resulted in the discovery that Cahill hud boon jerked into the shaft, ns has been stated. Signs of his lerriblo de scent were seen ou the sides of tho shall and at the bottom. In tho sump or well were found portions of tho shattered car; bnt the body of the unfortunate man had sunk to the bottom of tho water in the sump. By the use of grappling irons the body, mangled almost out ot all semblance of a man, waa at last secured and brought to the top of tho sump. Tho whole top of tho head was crushed down to a level with tbe under jaw, leaving scarcely tho shape of tho faco or head above. Both legs were broken and manglod, ns were both arms, and in fact overy bou® in his body, presenting, to tbe view one of the most sickemng sights im aginable. So torn and manglod was tho body, that it was necessary lo wrap it up in a blanket and lash it to a piece of plank in or der to hoist it to the surface. In falling he seems to have beeu dashed from sido to side of the shaft, atriking against the timbers now on this Bide, now ou thtt, and tearing all tho clothing from bis person. Shreds of hia clothing are found sticking to the shall Um bers in several places. In one place, ono of his gloves was found lying on » timber, and in another place hung a piece of one ol his socks, containing a toe that had been torn from the foot The pump brought up bloody water for a considerable ume after the acci dent, ehowing that the whole contents of the pump had been oris sorted. A Pennsylvania lady has a most romantic and ingenious way of managing the gentle man so happy as to be her husband Exas perated by her persistent conversation, he nc- gallantly boxed her ears the other day. The wretched woman cast but ono lingering re proachful glance npon her lord and fled, sim ply obserying that the briny deep should wash away the insult Learing behind her every thing most' d€kr aud precious to her, the home of her married life, full of beautiful and cherished memories, this heart-broken woman rushed frantically to the canal, and wi li one parting sigh threw in a large stone, which made a mighty splash. Then she went aud hid herself in tho bushes and giggled, while her husband and twenty other men hurried up, with horror depicted ti|>ou Ineir eoanteu- ances, aod wildly dragged tho canal for her dead body. When tho injured wife b came convinced that tho wretch Lad suffered . nough aha appeared from behind the hushes, and led him homo a resigned and willing victim. flow Do Yo The fervid be^U of summer ate nu* over.
