The Greenhackers in Indiana have united with the II mcock Democrats, and there is every indi cation that the St lie is sate for the Democracy in Oa oher and Novem¬ ber. M. Briicrv, aged ninety-nix, an ex-Roman Catholic, priest and a convert to Protest autism, was mar. ried bv the Mayor of Cannes on Saturday to a Protestant, M’lle. Vernet. The Postmaster General calls at¬ tention to the fact lit t cards with one cent stamps stuck upon them «re not postal curds, and that they will not he allowed to pass through the mails hereafter. Some of the aged fig trees of India are said to cover as much as two acres of ground by the simple extension of branches, and regi¬ ments of soldleis have taken refuge under the shadow of a single tree. The Romani empire in the zenith of its glory didn’t contain more than three millions of square miles The United States now cover more than this area, and is larger limn Rome was when she was called mistress of the world. • • • A miner was accidentally thrown out at the top of a California shaft. He clutched wildly at the jagged rock, and by clianoe his wrist caught in a crack. During ten tub ules lie was thus precariously suspended at a heighth oft wo hundred feet. Wm. F. Hurrah, a naval cudet, visiting Harrisburg, in u somnam¬ bulistic fit, stepped from the fourth story window of Bolton’s Hotel, falling a distance of thirty-live feet into an open cellar. The only injury he received was a fracture of the left wrist. A tramp consented to do a small job at digging post holes at Carson, Nevada, though labor was contrary to his custom. He returned to his employer's house in an hour, threw down his spade, and said lie hud changed his mind, lie hud found $130 worth of gold bars which some miner had buried. The uniform appearance of the microscopic shells, and the almost total absence among them of any sediment from the sea of foreign matter, suggests most forcibly the idea of perfect repose ut the bottom of these . Some of tho specimens are as pure and as free from sand as the fresh fallen snow flake is from the dust of the earth. In 1860 it took a passenger five days to go from New Orleans to New York, making nine changes* and many of these changes neces¬ sitated a long walk from depot to depot. In 1869 it took four days with two or three changes; and in 1873 three and a half days, one change; in 1878 three days, one change; and now, in 18S0, a man can go in sixty hours and forty five minutes, one change. A n tural ice-house is one the curiosities of Northern New Jersey It lies behind Blue Moun tain. The ice gorge is several dred yards in extent, ten to thirty feet deep, with caves and clefts i» the rocks where the ice lies. The shade at the gorge i* very dense, the sun apparently never penetrat ing it. The bottom of the* gorge and the little caves and crevices are filled with ice. The thernioiue ter, which registered the nineties in NewUm. marked 38 degrees at tho bottom of this gorge. A few from one end a spring of the most delicious, sparkling water bubbles up. The water in this spring stands at 34 degree#. The State Hoad. Ten years ago the Legislature leased the Western and Atlantic ltoad for the term of twenty years. One half of that time has expired and the State has received $3,000,000 in cash fiom the lessees. The lease has ten years yet to run, and in that State will receive $3,000,000 more in case. In the term of the lease it will have paid the enor¬ mous sum of $0,000,000. It is an essential part of this lease that the road shall be run with absolute impartiality, and the humblest citizen has the right to test the impartiality of its manage¬ ment in the courts. It is also “writ in the bond” that the road shall he returned at the end of the lien in as good condition us it was when first leased—the Ktate being put under no expense for repairs. It will he seen therefore, that we have a square income of $300,000 a year, without a dollar of outlay, subject to no contingency and without any depreciation of the property. A safer investment no State ever rrijide—a better investment Georgia cannot make. Aside irom the fact that the State should control in the interest of all sections and all classes, this most important railroad within her bor¬ ders—the key, as it were, to its entire system of roads—as a purely linaiiciai matter, the road should never be sold. It could never bring, at any sale, more than $'>, <H)0,000, and most probably not hi ing over $3,1 HX).()G0. The chances are that the few men rich enough to make a serious hid lor the road would pool their lads, and carry Hoffforless than $3,000,000. But if it were to bring $6,000,000, wc should be throwing up what now pays6 percent, nil that stun. The •State is flouting 4 per cents now, and to change an investment that is paying 6 per cent., and not im pairing the property and lully pro¬ tecting the public rights, would !>*• a criminal blunder. We have no idea that any serious attempt will ever be made to sell this valuable property. If such an attempt is ever made the ConnMulinn will op¬ pose such a plan with all its soul and strength, and before .-very tr; Duiial.— At!<mtn Constitution. Calls for clergymen are frequent¬ ly heard from the frontier, but not often for the kind described in the following passage from the Aurora (New) HemlJ : “We a r<‘ solely in need of a preacher, but we don’t want any cheap thrash. We want a good muscular Christian, w |, 0 can snatch sinners bv the scruff the neck ami drag tinmt, Imwl in K* «P the plane of righteousness, ami who will not drink more than lie can hold. Such a man will get a right smart layout here." “The riot at Atchinson, Kansas and East Atchinson, Mo., last week, in which it is said an armed mob. defying the representatives o! the law openly, drove the colored hands Iron their work ut two of the iargest establishments in the city, appears to have been one of the unavoidable fruits of the exo (ins. Hutton .tUverliter. Is that so t e thought you said, a year ago, that the negroes emigrating to Kansas would find homes and plenty of good work and good fellowship. It appears Irom authentic statements that the Governor oi Kansas has been doing lus best to get the negroes out ol his Slate, and the exodus agent has reported that il the exodus continues Kansas will become ‘ Vast p*air house.” Kansas appears to in* a rather poor State to emi¬ grate to, since a severe famine afflicts the people ol sixteen of the western counties. In view if these l ids, the New England Republicans should certainly invite the negroes to come and settle among them.— Courier-Journal. A certain manufacturer of Bradford who made a oompoaition with his creditors was under cross examination at the Leeds Assizes. “Now, sir.’ cried Mr. Bagwig ferociously, “attend to me.” ‘‘Were j not in difficulties a few months ago?” “New.” “Whati sir Attend to mv question.

Several post masters have re¬ cently been seriously injured while trying to stand on tin ir heads to cancel stamps placed in this manner.
