THE LASH FOR CRIMINALS, ‘Well, we’ll have them flogged, any way 1’ Thattm the exclamation made by the late’Cbief Justice Gilpin, of Del aware, with a word or two of emphasis that he was unfortunately now and then 'in the habit of using when especially excited. The occasion was this: A band of three or fonrl noted burglars and bank robbers had come into Wil- miogton, and just at evening had enter ed thehouse of the cashier of the bank of Delaware while be was seated with ’his’family at supper. At'the muzzle of pistols ’fhey seized and secured the fam ily, threatening-Iheir lives if they mov ed or made outcry. They were about to complete the work by having .part <of their’number pass, by a communicating door, into the bank, when they observ ed a colored servant, who had conceded himself under a table, rnshing out of the door. They endeavored to -seize her, but were too late. In a moment or two she was on the street and giving the alarm. There was nothing left for them bat to make their own escape. This they did, but were in a few hoars captured and lodged in the city jail. As fis'usual tin that little State, the' course of justice was not<delayed. Their tairl came ou rapidlyand their -convie tion followed surely. They were sen tenced to long terms of imprisonment, to be preceded'by the receipt df a cer-‘ tain number of lashes on the bare back at the hands of the Sheriff. ’' Thef e villains were not of the coarse sort They were well educated, genteel, handsomely dressed,, and neatly-jeweled- scoundrels, with .plenty pf money at their disposal, and Influential friends tp help them. They were not greatly ap palled at the ioug term of imprison ment; they knew well that- fen prisons would be strong enough to hold them. But the*flogging that- had been ordered was simply and unutterably -dreadful ■ That must be avoided at all'hifsarfls. The tactics usual ou such occ-.isious were restated to, nndtitoir able lawyers .it once made the necessary arrange ments for a stay of proceedings. The iiivsoouting-attorney, and old president (T’TVilmrDgtdii.sgol'wiiHl'cff^t au9 'has- 1, tily went to Judge Gilpin’s house and informed him of the state of the case. They both saw at. a glance what was in tended—the avoidance, of the flogging. Tlie nsual day for-the infliction of this punishment is Friday or Saturday. It was now Tuesday, and before the regula tion day bad come the stay of proceed ings wonld’hnve •been obtained. The Judge—we have his small form, his keen- eyenud forceful face befoie ns now— exclaimed, ‘Well, we’ll have them flog ged, any-wny; have that part of the pro gramme carried out, tomorrow!’ Aud it was. ‘On Wednesday these smooth handed, high-bred villians had 1, their white backs bared to the sun, their lately-jeweled bands manacled to the whipping-post, and in Company with lesser criminals were (flogged as the, Judge.said (hoy should be flogged* ; Now mark the sequel. In less than three montlts—we are not sure but that it was weeks—a steam-tug with a com pany of men came at night from Phila delphia to New-Gastlesand to the prison where these men were confined, oyer-, powered the keeper and set them free. Free, but flogged 1 . The flogging was all the punishment they had received for their enormous crime. We eay ‘all,’ but we have a supreme satisfaction in the thought that the part of the punish ment most dreaded by them they did not escape, while we hold in admiration the memory of the stern and quick-wit ted Judge who inflicted it. The matter of flogging for crime has been'xevived' dfifatetin • discussion, and we give the above-to-illustrate'entl ‘help, it forward. A residence of about twelve years in Delaware, and a careful con-, sideration of the whole subject during them all, give ns some decided convic tions—convictions Of the expediency, propriety, lawfulness and hnmanity of this biblical mode of punishment. It is very rare that a criminal *is stripped a second time, and we had oc casion to notice this was the prominent dread in the mind of oue about to be convicted. A brief or even a long im- prisonmant was as nothing to this. It is asserted that certain classes of criminals avoid Delaware.. A thief some years ago. so I have been told, was canght stealing-just over the Pennsyl vania line. He was convicted and was stripped at -N^w Castle, cursing his Tuck’ and <pretesting that he did (not know that ho-was iniDelaware-when the crime«*»a»rcomcaitted- or-he vren2d >aot have been ■‘there. THE WAY THE ENGLISH -FIGHT THE ZULUS. The war in South Africa against 'the miserable,-half starved unclad Kaffirs and Dnshmen, By the British, appears to be carried on with great barbarity, as instanced in the following letter to the Cape Town Argus, by a young vol unteer with a tenderer care for humani ty than his fellows: Ud to the present we have 'had fit pretty hard, and since I last wrote we •have been ont on patroi. We started from here (Koegas) on the mor-niig*of the 29th of "October and saddled off at a place three and a half hoars’ distant. We fell -in with the enemy cn the morn ing of the 30th. ■‘Our Captain and his •men •vrere-atationed an the Kopje, and Vmen underneath. Capt. ——’s men then crossed the river to see if they could"trace the spoor. They came "WHAT YOUR LAND NEEDS. 1 A STRANGE PEOPLE It is not guano, cotton seed nor com-; j) r . E. R. Heath, in a paper on ‘‘Pe- post. that yonr worn-out poor lands* r nyJan Antiquities,” describes a strange need, thoagh either of these properly people living in a town called Eten, in used will make good crops even upon | seven degrees south latitude and about very poor land, but what yonr lands i t wo miles from the sea. They number need is vegetable matter. Yon know that, or should know it, for •you ’know thirt when you first cut ;, down forests the land was *cuvered and rich with vegetable matter that hail been decay ing there for ages, and you must have noticed, if you have any observation at all, that as this vegetation disappeared, the soil giew poorer, until you had to turn the field out as fbo/p&ir for Cul tivation. But now lands are mot'so plentiful and cheap as they used to be and you have been obliged to take it in again. In-doing so the -first crqp shows you that if -recuperated somewhat, for back with the news that the footprints fit made a better crop than when yon were going towards Langeberg, and consisting of Bnshmen and Kaffirs, with horses, goats and one ox. We were on the Kopje when we received word that the enemy were in the bush, about 1,000 yards away, Capt. - men then -being ‘Underneath us in the flush. We then’had orders to cross the river, and ’s men opened fire on some of the Bnsnmen in the northern parr*ef the bush, whom they found sit ting down enjoying the stoien ox which they had slaughtered. They Were laughing and singing, seeming to be very happy, when suddenly they re ceived bullets to flavor the meat. They then run through the bush, expecting to reach the mountains on the opposite side of the' river, but’-when they came to the edge of the rhrer they saw 'Ver- monlon’s men eppqaits. eq! .that were completely hemmed in, and thus perished forty-one.of them, and thirty- four wo took prisoners. Six of onrmeu got leave to cross, as we "were mnwions to be in it, and we theu went—myself being, one of the number—to the other side of the liver, - the bullets from our own men whizzing about- onr heads by, 'tnmlreils. -When we came to the bush •we saw wliatT ilo uot wish to see-again. Women and children lriug on there shot through and through, no meren having been shown to them. 1 came to oue place and a Bushman got up. I raised my gun, but the man said in Dutch; ‘Please, master; don’t shoot me!’ I then saw that he -had already 'been wounded, and would have been left to die, bat as I was speaking to him, a gun was put quite-close to-my ear-and fired. The fellow gave oue spring and then fell dead at my feet. On turuinground I discovered one of : ’s ’men, who said: ‘The must not live.’I was glad to have it out of my hands, r.s I did not wish to kill him after being wounded. They theu drew-lots as to who had to shoot the prisoners. I mean to say that those who could not walk, we had orders to shoot, and I am glad to say that I was fortunate enough to be ont of it. One girl was wounded iD the upper part-of the■ legmandfcejatfi not. walk. As soon as site saw the’miin who was with me, there being only us two at that time present-, see recognized him as having been once her master, whom she had served for three "years. •He i wished to help her. and bring her to tne camp, but some of our fellows went through the bush to see what they could do as to-killing any of the wound ed that the Captain had overlooked. They shot this girl while she was bind ing up her leg with a handkerchief that her former master had given her, and which he had taken off his hat, all of ns having red handkerchiefs around onr hats. No one escaped. ENGLISH SPARROWS IN GEOR GIA. The Albany News says many people in that city now curses the day that the English sparrows were carried there. The people of that section fondly dreamed thaft the introduction of the English sparrow-would help the farmers,'by destroying the caterpillars. The Board of Trade in Albany raised a sum of money and forwarded it to New York and had brought out to Al bany twenty pairs of the sparrows, and an ordinance was passed by the City Council protecting the sparrows. They have multiplied until they- now num ber thousands, and the people in , Alba ny are becoming greatly, annoyed. The sparrows will not leave the brick walls of the city, and they destroy the gardens. They are of no nure service in destroying caterpillars in the cotton Adds in the-eountry than a town dar- Swyiistwheutiie^grass'is taking (Be cot ton. 'Neith-ar tbe-sparrow hr the dar- the sparrows.

CIVILIZATION IN NEW YORK. A nuttibewof (clesgomen held a con vention at Utica, New Work,<on*Friday, to consider what can be done to put’ down anti do away with the organiza tion iu that State known as the ‘Oneida Community.’ This concern is said to number 2-10 persons, men and women, who believe themselves to be ‘perfec tionists’—that is, so thoroughly surren dered to religion as to be tree from the dominion of-sin, and worthy of rising above the conventional laws by which the morality-.of-seciety»is supposed fofle regulated; hence -they have, like the an gels of heaven, neither marriage nor giving in marriage, -but Jive somewhat in common. They are a sort of hus bands and wives as-long as they choose to be, and then they change off for oth er partners. This arrangement, which is not bf the'heavenly, bat rather of the earthly order, naturally gives offense tor fastidious moralists outside of the Com munity; bat it is said that the people of tlrerregion round about the establish ment are inclined to take sides with them against all opposition, finding that their famiTiaiwl. ho neeh old products axe always as good, aad ^generally bet ter than represented when .offered . for sale, and the members are famed for strict integrity and perfect henesty. They seek to make no proselytes, but to live by themselves, in their own : way. The founder of this singnlar people, John Humphrey Noyes, was a graduate ot Dartmouth College, and he is"smd~to be a sincere and consistent man, strong- about 4,000, and they speak Besides the Spanish a 1. nguage which some of- the rccently-broaght over Chinese ia- berers understand, but there is no otfcer similarity between the two people. They intermarry nudes and nieces, brothers and sisters, nephews and aunts, that is promiscnonsly, and no apparent enrse of consangninity, bat they will not per mit and intermarriage into their num ber.-or-wlth'the-outside' world. They! have-laws, customs aBd’dress of their own, -and live by flraifting hats and •mats, =and weaving clothes. They will, .give no acconnt of the place whence they came, or-the time they settled at Eten. History does not mention their existance before the Spaniards amve.L, Among them there are no sick or de- formed.persous, their custom being to send a committee to each or old person, and those who are reported past recov ery or past usefulness are promptly strangled By "the pdblic -executioner. Eten orders it, they siy, and with Et- en’s orders there is no interference. SUBSTITUTES FOR LIQUOR. A curious "feature of the operation of the no-Jicense law at-Norwich, -Conn., -isj the substitution fly drinkers,. of other stimulants in the place pf liquors. Per haps the most natural substitute, of all is Jamaica: ginger. This extract‘-has aboat double the alcoholic strengijh of whiskey, and as it is a medicine in, con stant demand, and kept by all drug gists,-it makes a very satisfactory sub stitute for the habitual old toper who is bound to get drunk on something.- That it jisms?! iu this way to a consul er.tble exti ut Is -shown Jrom the in creased sales’ of the drng ns well as tbe- cphfusjion of the user. One denier es timates ibis sales 'df .Jamaica ginger since the first of November -as dully' three times as great as they were Be fore; und another sells perhaps a third more now than before that-data;'anoth er lias noticed but a small finerease —not over fivo per cent.; while a a fourth estimates the calls upon him as five times as large now as they were up to November first. It is aLo said that the sale of 'paregoric has slightly increased in some cases. President Bartlett selects one incident from the Cheyenne mas acre, th eJutijun of an aged Indian woman, as especially disgraceful. “Tnis is a piece df army gallantry,” he says, “that would be greatly relieved by some adequate ex planation. The seven hits on one per son prove the ’victim to have been a good mark near at hand. No doubt her sixty years made-her slow of foot. Her ‘squaw’s’ attire would fliave 'indica ted the attack to be eminently safe.” The. fact that she received seven bullets,' makes president Bartlett ask: "Did the same soldier bring down his victim at the first fire, and then empty seven other chambers upon her postrate fiame, as he would crush a snake? Or did skx comrades finish the manly work? Or did the wholeseven overtake her as she halted-along or -hid herself behind some place of shelter,.andjoint- ly slay her in cold blood?” key want to leave town. The .question,, , ... - - with the people now is how to get rid of ? aud ‘advanced civilization’ doctrines. It it claimed* that the society has not violat- edaay-cf the .lawsoLNew York. If that be so, then the 'law -regelating marriage in New York must be very loose. :V ’T ’ Dom Pedro, of Brazil, contribut ed to the Washington monument a stone weighing nearly eight tons, ‘to perpetuate the memory of the illnstri- i whom 37 per cent, are country born. For once in her life Cuba has a Cap-' tain General of whom she ought to be proud. It is said that Martinez Cam pos, so far from striving to enrich him self at the expense of the Cubans, has done all within his power to assist them in restoring the prosperity of the coun try, so!long desolated by war, and that on the King’s Saint Day, the 23d ult., he distributed §400,000 among different •charitable societies. About this last named;act there was one beauty that is rarely found adorning the benevolent deeds of the rulers of that political lat itude. In giving to cliarity-so large a sum. of money, he puts his hands, not into the people’s pocket, but into his own. The Queen of the Antilles has seldom had a ruler constructed upon the model of Capta ; n General Mar tinez Campos.
