A ClilLD WON DEE,
There is now in Lou'svilie a negrets
who is perfect child wonder. She is a
Scriptural marvel. She does not even
know her letters, yet she can quote ac¬
curately almost any passage in the Bi¬
ble*
At the age of nine months she could
talk, and would fequently tell her mother
what her idea of HeaVert was. As she
grew older she would sit for hours and
expatiate on the beauties and glories of
the other world. The old colored folks
would listen to her sayings for hours.
At the age of three years she began to
lecture on heaven, its wonders, or God
and his omnipotent power. She has leco
tured in many places, and has created a
in every place she has yet visited*
The prodigy lectured at the York street
colored church yesterday afternoon, and
at night spoke to a large crowd at the
Green street colored church. Her speech
was good, and her delivery impressive.
A reporter of the Courier* Journal in¬
terrogated her last night.
‘What is your name, little girl ?”
‘Alice Coatny*’
‘How old at‘e you?’
‘Tse just four years aud twenty-eight
days old to-night.’
‘Where were you born f’
‘I was born in Liverpool, England-**
‘cross de Atlantic,'
‘Iiow long since you felt the power
within you 1
“I don’t know } Ise always felt the
pou er of God ?
‘What do you speak about when you
talk to a crowd ?”
‘I talk about Jesus, about heavenly
things, about how Jestis died and was
crucified 5 how he rose again in three
days and sitteth on the right hand of
God.’
‘Can you spell V
‘No, sir 5 I don’t know my A. B. C.'s
yet.
She then went on iu a rapturous strain
about things biblical and spiritual, com¬
pletely nonplussing the reporter.
She was accompanied by two colored
men. They talked in an enthusiastic
manner about her. She said iu her con¬
versation that she believed in two kinds
of baptisms. She spoke ot the different
modes of salva ion ; howto reach para*
dise ; how to be converted from a bad
man to a good one. Her sayings were
entirely original, and were not spoken in
a hesitating voice, but in a quick, keen
and forcible manner. As young as she
is, a negress, without education in the
principles she sets forth her power par¬
takes strongly of the marvellous.— Court *
er Journal.
We suppose any day is lucky on which
a happy marriage is consummated, but
the following is the old saw on this sub¬
ject :
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all,
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck at all.
The parties to a marriage can select
the day of its celebration, but it is not so
easy to choose the day of one’s birth ;
aud yet these, too, had their meaning:
Born of a Monday,
Fair in face ;
Born of a Tuesday,
Full of God’s grace ;
Born ot a Wednesday,
Merry and glad ;
Born of a Thursday,
Sour and sad 5
Born of a Friday,
Godly given ;
Born of a Saturday,
Work for your living }
Born of a Sunday,
Never shall want;
So there’s the Week,
And the end on’t.
Touching incidents of the Thames dis¬
aster are still related by English corres¬
pondents, Families have been raised
and brought on shore ‘-firmly locked and
interlocked together,” mothers are found
holding children, the little ones grasping
their dolls; one young man, after placing
his betrothed into an overfilled boat, bade
her good-bye, and went down without a
struggle, One man acknowledged that
he kept himself afloat by supporting
himself on the floating bodies of others.
Another held on to an ancborchain, and
advised his wife to drop their child and
save berself* She held on to the child,
and both were drowned.
Mr. James Smith, of Douglas county,
has a little girl only five years and six
months old who lately picked seventy

is considered a remarkable performance
for one so young.
THE ELECT RIO LIGHT.
V\ hen the electric telegraph first be**
came a practical affair, it was generally
believed that the most important of the
pioblems which electricity presented
had been solved ; but the advances which
have since been made in the knowledge
and application of this powerful, but
mysterious agent are quite as wonderful,
when considered in their relation to the
telegraph* as was the telegraph when
considered in relation to all that preceded,
Moat prominent among these advances
is that which has been made iu the di¬
rection of utilizing electricity for the
ptirposes of illumination. Since the first
discovery that electricity could be so
used, giant strides have been made in
the knowledge and discovery of practi¬
cal methods, and to-day the woild stands
confronted with the imminent possiblitv
of the utter superseding of gas and ail
other illuminators by electricity.
Among the most successful experi**
ments that have been tried is at Manbat
tan Beach, where the light has been
steadily in use for more than three
months. Three lamps have been used,
each with an estimated illuminating
power of fifteen thousand candles, and
by means of them the entire beach has
been illuminated with a brightness al¬
most like that of day. So powerful is
the light that individuals have been able
to feud ordinary newspaper print by it
at a distance of three-fourths of a mile.
And the most interesting fact about the
illumination is its economy. The entire
cost of running the ten-horse power
engine used, supplying carbon points
and keeping the apparatus clean, is less
than eleven dollars a week.
Wheu it is considered that the light
furnished is equal to that of three thou¬
sand ordinary gas lamps, burning fifteen
candle power gas, Ihe marvelous cheap
ness becomes at once apparent. The
whole number of street laps in Detroit
is less than three thousand, but the cost
of lighting them with gas amounts to
many thousands ot dollars in a year.—»
Even with the cheaper naptha light the
cost is still measured by thousands.—
With electricity, if it could be subdivied
and distributed, the cost, exclusive of
interest on the “plant,” would be con-.
s.derabiy less than a thousand dollars.
The chief difficulty at present is in
subdividing the supply so as to furnish
lights small enough for use in small
build ngs, stores and dwellings. It can¬
not be long, however, before this is surs
mounted | and it is not by any means
certain that it has not already been sm\
mounted so for as to solve the problem
of street lighting. A little excess of
light in the streets, especially when the
light is cheap, will not be regarded as a
serious evil. Experiments are now be¬
ing made in New York which will de¬
termine in a very short time how fat'
street lighting is now practicable.
It will be a glorious day—or rather
night—tor Detroit and all other eilies
the land when electricity does come to
fill the place which gas and the substi*
tutes therefor have beeu imperfectly
filling fol' so many years. With an
abundance of cheap lights flooding all
file dark places, the police tax can be
materially reduced.— [Detroit Free Press.
Li tie by little the printer pays cut his
money. A little for a press, a little for
type, a little for ink, a little for help,
a little for wood, a little for this and a
little for that; but continually a little,
never stopping, a constant drain, Lits
tie by little printers’ bills accumulate.
A owes a little for subsripton, B owes a
little for advertising ; C owes a little and
D owes a little, and clear through the
phabet and back, and through again and
many times over* A neglects his bill, B
does not settle Ins, C thinks his but a
trifle and not needed, so on down the
list, little by little the raouey goes out,
and a little does not come in, until finally
the poor printer’s resourses are all ex¬
hausted, and down he goes into the
of despair, while over his head floats his
hundreds of unpaid dues; but be grasps
at them in vain—they afford no help.
Reader, do you owe a bill to the printer ?
Pat it.

REMEDY FOR WEAK EYES.
A simple remedy for weak or sore eyes
is recommended as follows t Get a five
cent cake of elder flowers at the drug
gis’t, and steep it ih ofte gill of soft wrx
j ter. It must be steeped in bright tin cr
1 earthen ware ? strain nicely, and then add
I three drops of laudanum ; bottle it tight
a °d keep iu a cool place ; then use it as a
i w'ash* letting some ot it get in the eye.—
Follow this and relief is Certain. It the
eyes are painful of much sore, make small
0 »tt compresses, wet in the inquire, and
bind over the eye at night. CaU warrant
the above as harmless and sUfe, having
tried it in a number of cases wheie olh-
ers skill and remedy had failed* If the
eyes are badly inflamed, use it very free¬
ly ; and a tea made of elder flowers and
drunk, will h«*lp cleanse the blood. Bute
rock salt and water will strengthen your
weak eyes if you bathe them daily iu it.
I would earnestly advise you to avoid
mixtures or washes containing mineral or
other poisons. Ex,

We learn that a sad tragedy has occur
red in Baldwin county, resulting in the
death of a negro boy* which like the
shooting of the colored boy, Will Wil¬
son, a few weeks Ago* was all for fun. A
party of colored boys met together and
held a mock court, all duly organized
with judge, jury, lawyers, witnesses, etc.
One ot their number was tried for some
offense, witnesses examined, speeches
troui the lawyers, charge of the judgo
delivered, and a verdict tendered by the
jury of guilty. The sentence of death
was prone.uneed by the judge, and a rope
was immediately placed around the neck
of the criminal, and thrown over some
place to scum e it* and the culprit made
to stand upon a chair. The chair was
then removed and the victim left dang¬
ling in the air until life was extinct. The
youthful members of the court affirm
they would have taken him down, but
he aid not tell them to do so* and they
supposed he Was kicking his feet about

so strangled as to be unable to speak.

Rape Near Dadeville, Alabama.—
Last Saturday the community of Dade'’
ville, Alabama, was thrown into a fever
of excitement by the stsrtling intelligence
that a seven year old girl had been raped
near that'town. It seems a gentleman, a
prominent citizen of the county,- had left
his family in charge of one of his tenants,
a white man about forty years of age.
who, it is alleged, raped the gentle
man’s little seven year old daughter,
The man was arrested, and is now in jail
awaiting preliminary examination* which
will take place next Monday. The com
inanity is very much outraged over the
affair. The perpetrator has a wife and
eight children*
Samuel L. Rockfellow went to the
office of the County Clerk in Rochester,
and ordered a search upon property he
was about to purchase. He received the
search and paid the fee. Relying upon
the search, he made the purchase of the
land, a farm* It subsequently appeared
that the record of 3 mortgage of about
$500 had been omitted by the clerk or
deputy in his search. Mr. Rockfellow
brought suit against the clerk* claiming
$500 damages by reason of the neglect.
The case was sharply contested. The is
'sue seemed to turn upon the liability
the clerk, pased upon the question as
whether his act in making the Search is
judicial or ministerial. The decision by
Judge Sill gave judgment against the
County Clerk. The case will undoubt¬
edly be appealed J and, as it is said to be
the first reported case of the kind in
New York, will settle the law on
question.— Sun.
