Old Ben Wade.— The old fossil
who rises up with the profane re
mark quoted in our telegraphic dis
patches, was a noted abolitionist in
his day—noted not for his ability hr
eloquence, but tor ids extreme views
and the dogmatic obstinacy with
which he stuck to his one idea.
Where in the he—misphere he has
been all the longtime since he was
last heard from, has been a mystery.
But he gives a distinct intimation to
a wondering world.' The ‘‘pave
ments*’ were disagreeable to him,
because they made gdod promises,
aud Old Ben didn’t like shch things,
even though there was slim chance
of their fullllment. He comes up to
the surface again in the hope of
finding a place where no sudh disa
greeable things will meet his eye.
We are glad that he 1s disappointed.
Even if Hayes’ fair promises have bo
other good effect than to reconnign
Old Ben Wade to the locality from
which he has emerged, the eountty

say as much for the peace and quiet

As interesting life insurance ease,/
tried before Judge Krskine, 1s re
jrorted at some length by the Savan
nah jfows. Briefly, it was brought by
the father of Le Baron Drewry, jr.,
against the Phoenix Life Insurance
Company of Hartford, Conn., to re
cover #ie,ooo on a life policy issued
by that company to'Vis son. The
proofs showed that young Drewry,
who did business in Galveston,
Texas, left that city for New Orleans
on the 22d of May 1867, with a con
siderable amount of money to be de
posited in New Orleans; that he ar-
rived and deposited the money, and
left his hotel on the mh of tire same
month for the boat, and was never
heard of since. The father brought
the suit upon the policy in May 18T3.
The Insurance Company resisted
judgment, on the ground that suffi
cient proof of the death of Drewry
had not been made, and that in the
absence of such proof suit could not
be brought until the lapse of seven
years after the disappearance of the
insured. The jury, UDder instructions
of the Judge, brought in a verdict of
SIO,OOO, with interest from 1867,f0r the
plaintiff. A motion for anew trial
will be made, and the case be car
ried to the Supreme Court of the
United States on a question of law.
WAITIN' KIHOri!
All hope of the longer preservation
of peace between liussia and Turkey
seems to be abandoned. War is
regarded as inevitable, and the mala
questions now are, when will It com
mence, and to what extent will it
Involve other nations? Herlously as
other powers lutvw devoted them
selves to the effort to maintain peace,
there appears to be no consideration
that binds any of them to armed in
terference, and certainty their mate
rial interests will be subserved by.
their neutrality. England may be
apprehensive of Russia obtaining the
command of the Mediterranean, but
until Russia meets with successes
making the danger more Imminent,
England will probably prefer to sell
goods and munitions to both belli
gerents and keep out of their quar
rel.
We see no reason whatever for a
fear that a war between Turkey and
Russia will unfavorably affect any in
dustry or business of this country.
On the contrary, we think that it
ought to benefit several of our im
portant industries. Already the
prospect of war has stimulated the
markets and advanced the price of
grain in this country. There is no
good reason why the cotton trade
should not also be benefited by li
no reason except the schemes and in
terests of speculators. A war must
make the belligerent governments
larger purchasers of cotton goods
than in a time of peace. We all
know to what an extent the Confed
erate government had to run or en
gage our cotton factories during our
late war, aDd how desirous the gov
ernment of the United States was to
secure every bale of cotton which it
could reach. There is no like
lihood of a general block
ade of either Turkish or
Russian ports until some other power
lakes a hand in the war. The cotton
mills of Russia ought to be stimu
lated to work for the government;
English mills ought to be largely
drawn upon for both nations; and
indirectly, if not directly, the stimu
lus ought to roach the mills of this
country. But wherever the increased
consumption may be, it will increase
the demand for the raw material, and
thus help our section. We do not
rejoice at the prospect of a war in
eastern Europe, but "It is an ill wind
that blows nobody any good,’’ and if
the good of this storm should be
wafted our way, there are no people
to whom It could come more oppor
tunely.
A Watchman’s Trick.— The Eufaula
Times gives a long and circumstan
tial account of a “ridiculous fraud”
perpetrated on its community, on
Sunday morning last, by William
Jenkins, watchman of the People's
Bank. H flred|two pistol shots and
sounded the alarm for assistance,
which brought to his aid a polioe
man, to whom he stated that he had
shot at two burglars, one of whom
had fallen and the other run off.
Appearances favored the truth of the
story. There lay on the floor by the
large bank safe, what appeared
to be the portion of a set of burg
lar’s tools, consisting of a heavy iron
bar, a cold chisel, an iron gag, a can
of powder, a bunch of tow and a bot
tle of some sort of oil or acid. There,
too, was a large bullet hole in the
middle of the door-facing, that
the watchman said he had made
by a pistol-shot fired at a burglar,
and there, too, just outside the rear
door of the banking office, blotcbos
of clotted blood were found on the
floor, and gory sprinkling about on
the outside wall, said by the watch
man to be the blood of the first bur
glar he shot. The whole city wasex
cited by the affair, and search was
made far and near for the burglars,
without success In the afternoon, a
dead guinea fowl, with its head chop
ped off, was found on the premises,
and this aroused suspicions. An ex
amination showed that the watch
man had killed the chicken ut the
door; had placed the lot of imple
ments beside the vault, and shot a
bullet-hole in the doof T 'facing, in or
der to make the bank officers be
lieve that he was a faithful and vigil
ant guardian of their own money and
other poperty, and to induce them
to reward him for his coolness and
bravery, and retain him in their ser
vice. He left for parts unknown
when the trick was exposed.
The Life Insurance hulls. Known Here
as the Wellborn Cases.
- Tho following statement of the case as
it stands now, being the fullest in detail
that we have seen, wo copy It for the infor
mation of the friends of the plaintiff in this
section:
The Memphis Appeal says that the con
solidated suite known as the Martin Insu
rance cases, which have been on trial In
the United States Court since the Ist of
March, wore concluded on the 22d insh,
the jury bringing in a verdict for the
plaintiffs. There were in all seven poli
cies of life insurance, held by 8. M. Well
born, who died some time ago in Geor
gia. The companies refused to pay these
policies, but contended that the same had
been obtained by fraud, as the applicant
was afflicted with consumption, but con
cealed this fact. The styles of these suits
and amount of verdict awarded by the ju-
ry were: Emily C. Martin, assignee, for
tho nse and benefit of the children of S.
M. Wellborn, against the Northwestern
Life Insurance Company, $5,641; the same
against Life Association of America, s\-
500; T. Wellborn, against Life Association
of America, $5,500; Emily C. Martin,
against Connecticut Mutual Life Insu
rance Company, $5,641; Florida Well
born against the Mutual Life Insu
rance Company of America, $5,641; the
same against the Northwestern Life In
surance Company, $5.641; Emily C. Mar
tin against tho Mutual Life Insurance
Company or New York, $5,641. The policy
In each of the above named companite
was for $5,000. The full amount of the
polioy, with Interest to date, was allowed
by the jury, the total sum being $37,564.
The trial of the case has oecupied a groat
deal of time, and engaged the services of
half a dozen or more lawyers. A motion
for anew trial was entered by the defend
ants, and will be argued at the next term
of the court, which begins In May.

TRUTHFUL hits at men and things,
I from Our Regular Comapoailunt.]
Washington, April 11.
Like all terrestrial and Infernal lo
calities (no profanity intended—l use
infernal in a strictly etymological
sense), the national capital has Its
advantages and disadvantages; its
drawbacks, aud pull-backs, and pin
bocks, as well as statesmen, generals
and judges, who exhibit their meta
phorical backsides continually. Jusi
Represent we ure suffering from the
physical and psychological influ
ence—l had almost said influenza—
of Ohio. Since the completion of tne
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, that pro
lific mother of Radical mediocrity
has been encroaching upon us, until
she is as prevalent as the itch
in a regiment of home guards
Private Dulzell tame from Ohio;
so did Grant and Garfield—
the par nobile fratrum who held re
spectively the sword and .the purse ;
the Chief Justico, whose head Viunie
Ream modeled at a church festival,
(great attraction—admission only
fifty cents) ex-Goveruor Hayes, and
the immortal J. N. These all came
originally from Ohio, just as rats
came originally from Norway, and
we wish they had originally staid
there.
It is not material to the issue that
your correspondent should commit
himself to the proposition that intvl
lectual mediocrity, as illustrated in
Hayes and Waite, or moral obliquity,
as shown in Hayes and Garfield, or
mental aberration, as seen in the im
mortal J. N. and Gen. Sherman, are
confined fwitbin the geographical
boundaries or Ohio. Booth, of Cali
fornia, Mitchell of Oregon, Boutwell
and Dawes and Each Chandler are,
I believe, not from Ohio, But if the
depletion of that state steadily goes
on, what will become of the third
commonwealth of the Union, and
where will thero be room in the Dis
trict?
The question of the removal of the
National Capital to Columbus has
not been recently agitated, but a
majority of the American peeple
voted no more for the removal of the
Capitol to Ohio, than they did for
the removal of Ohio’s Governor to
the White House - Yet one removal
has been accomplished ; why should
we be surprised at the other, or at
anything? Among the disadvan
tages of Washington is its malaria;
it is the moral and physical sentina
gentium of the Western Hemisphere.
It is the stagnant mean between the
North and South. The air is poison
ed by the festering detritus of the
Potomac, along the Western and
Southern front; by imperfect sewer
age, and by the ligneous gases escap
ing from miles of rotten wood pave
ment. If the Father of his
Country selected this place
as a pestilent trap to “take
off” politicians, then he must
be credited with goodness
equul to his genius. Hut some im
provements in transportation and
pharmacopea have enabled the more
wealthy to counteract the influence
of poisonous gases. Gen. Grant had
the best of health, he fought the ex
halations from the swamp below the
White House with good old rye whis
key, and when lighting on that line
all summer became monotonous, he
took the whiskey to Long Branch.
But it is not in the power of every
man and his wife to frisk about like
a President, and those who have not
been acclimated may generally be
known by their sallow complexions
and "the dejected havior of the vis
age.” To breath the air of a city
like Philadelphia, acts upon a Wash
ingtonian like a tonic. The Capital
ought to be removed, though little
has been said about it of late,
but it will be easier find less
expensive to remove the seat of Gov.
ernment to a healthful locality, than
to make a sink so ill-favored of na
ture sanitarily tolerable. Borne years
ago, when the removal was talked of.
local property owners formed a ring,
and conspired with members and
Senators, (many of whom were the
owners of real estate,) and com
menced improvements on an im
mense scale. They said: “Let us
have a Capital worthy of this great
nation.” The streets were dug up
and covered with poultices of stink
ing pitch, or corduroyed with rotten
pine blocks; public edifices, and
palatial private residences of
the servants of the people, went
up like exhalations out in the
unimproved commons; but paved
streets and wide side-walks
swept out to the private residences,
and doubled and quadrupled their
value. There was nothing wrong in
this. Oh! no. A shyster by the name
of Garfield got an immense fee for
writing a brief for a contractor. Why
should he vote against an appropria
tion ? The paid attorneys of the ring
were in the House—in the Senate—it
is believed, in the Executive Mansion.
Washington as the capital, it was
thought, had taken deeper root; but
then there was a safe burglary—that
explosion loosened the roots a little;
and now, when pitch pavements have
melted, and wood pavemeuts have
rotted, would it not be a good time
to uproot and transplant the capital,
leaving the fine property of Sherman
and Garfield, on Franklin Park, for
the speculation of the curious New
Zealander? Those houses will never
rival in ruin the reputation of their
builders. C. A. S.
The Home Jotirnal reports a good
condition of the wheat crop in
Houston chanty, and says that an
increased area was planted, aod there
is a fiatteriag prospect for the largest
crop that has beeu harvested since
the war.
Cyclone at Pensacola.
From the Pensacola Herald, we
gather an account of the fearful
Htorm of Hunduy morning. Between
three and four o’clock on Sunday
morning, the wind suddenly veered
around southwest, and then blew
with an intensity, to which its earlier
efforts were but child’s play. Up to
that time, the main damage done
was the driving ashore of some small
smacks and the unroofing of a few
houses. Although, says th e Herald:
“This fearful burst lasted but a
short time—not over five minutes
yet it left behind it,such a scene of
desolation and ruin as to cause those
who were spared to utter an earnest
prayer of thankfulness for their ex
emption, with a deep sympathy for
all who had suffered in those few
dread seconds of time when the ele
ments of wind and water seemed
to hold a gleeful, mad carnival amid
their homes, and with remorseless
nund pluck up huge trees and
dash them against some devo
ted house, and then catch
ing in mid air the splintered
fragments, hurl them in an inextri
cable muss of beams, roofs, walls and
rurniture against the next, and then
on and on in such rapid and appar
ently vindictive succession from one
to the other, now and then in some
mad freak of pity leaving a dwelling
directly in its path intact, without
harming a twig or leaf, that the mind
of man falls to conceive its sublime
horrors, which seem to be cumula
tive, increasing in terrible details as
the view opens up In full,”
The damage done by the storm in
the harbor and city was great. The
bark North Wind, 783 tons, was driv
en high up into an angle formed by
two prongs of the railroad wharf.
The French bark Courier de Canada,
027 tons, was thrown on shore. The
little steamer Marie was sunk. The
bark Langet, 560 tons, was capsized,
with masts aud rigging all gone. A
schooner was thrown ashore, and the
bark Condor lost her jib-boom.
In the city the damage was still
greater, the Herald mentioned thirty
one houses as having been complete
ly destroyed; among which were
those of Messrs. James Moreno, Mr.
William Maxwell, Mr. Moses Yueis
tra, J. W. Door, of the Pensacola
Gazette, Frank Touart and others.
These houses were not only thrown
down but their debris was blown
hundreds of yurds away. Only one
person—a colored boy of two years,
is known to have been killed, which,
considering the fact that several fam
ilies were buried in the ruins of their
houses, appears miraculous. Twen
ty-two persons were injured serious
ly. To illustrate the power of the
wind, the Herald mentions that a
portion of the roof of Mr. Touart’s
house—fire rafters, with their cover
Ing of boards and shingles—were car
ried off some distance aud driven four
feet into the earth and left sticking
there.
The New Cotton Plant.
We are getting further particulars of the
new variety of cotton discovered in Egypt,
whose discovery has aroused interest in the
south, and whose cultivation will, if the pro
mise is realized, work some changes in plan
ting and some in fabrication, and not only
support the new factory which is rapidly
running up in Woodbury, New Jersey, and
the large additions in Rhode Island and ttie
new mills in Georgia, but thereby help our
exports of cloths and hasten the supremacy
of American mills. The new Egyptian
plant, whose seed has already leached Eng
land, was found only three years ago, grow
ing with but distinguished from other, and is
supposed to be a cross of the ordinary cot
ton with ramie, it multiplies sixty fold,
and published estimates make the production
as one hundred and five to forty-five in com
pa.ison with the most productive. These
figures seem almost incredible. It is materi
ally more than doubling the crop of any
area; and supposing the variety to flourish on
American soil as all other varieties have
done, the yield in a very few years would
carry the cotton supply to an almost incal
culable sum and force fabrication icto new
devices and to new energy. If the combin
ation is that alleged—for another report
makes this fibre purely cotton and from in
terior Africa—we areto gain more than was
anticipated from ramie without losing that,
and both planters and manufacturers Will be
forced to their best to gain the lead and
control the advantages of a discovery which
must be of very great moment.— Phita.

Two of these dogs can drag as much as
one man. Nothing can be more exhtlera
tirig than dog sledging in the Arctic regions
on a tine day. The rattling pace of the dogs;
their intelligence in choosing the road
through the broken ice, the strict obedience
paid by the team to one powerful dog whom
they elect as leader, the arbitrary exercise of
authority by the master dog, the constant
use of the whip, and the running conversa
tion kept up by the driver with the different
dogs, who well know their names, afford
constant employment. However uselul they
may be, these arctic dogs seem to be delfi
cient in that affectionate disposition which
endears their species so much to man. A
traveler once said that he believed the Es
quimaux dogs to be the most Ungrateful
creatures in creation. He bad traveled for
several hundred miles by sledge, and for six
weeks it was his duty to feed the dogs, but
after only a few week's absence, on the con
clusion of the journey, they would not rec
ognize him in the slightest degree. It is
impossible to domesticate these creatures,
as under tender treatment they sicken and
die.
An Esquimaux Wedding.
Shortly there entered in perfect silence a
cortege drawing a dog-sled, in which was
seated the high priest of the tribe, and a more
villainous-looking object I never beheld. He
was stripped to the waist and smeared with
oil and coloring matter in stripes, which
gave him the appearance of a Chinese joss;
on his head was a tiara of bear’s claws,
surmounted by an ehormous polar bear’s
head. On his shoulder’s were placed erect
on end two large walrus tusks, fancifully,
decorated with slrips of red flannel which
had been obtained Irom the clothing ot a
drowned sailor washed ashore. The lower
pari of his body was covered with other
skins, over which were spread a number of
young seals, all alive and barking; in the
right hand he held a spear, which he waved
aloft in a theatrical manner, while his lett
he motioned to the bride and groom to ap
proach him. The whole concourse arose,
and w'ith shouts of gladness capered around
the priest's chariot. This he submitted to
for a space of ten minutes, and then imperi
ously waving his spear, commanded silence.
The groom was now directed to prostrate
himself upon the earth upon his back, and
the bride directed to place her right foot upon
his throat, which she did evidently with re
luctance. While in this position the priest
instructed the groom that such was to be
his late, trodden under loot by men, should
he ever prove untrue to his plighted troth
He was then permitted to arise, and directed
to approach the old chief, who placed a
spear at his breast, telling him it would be
his doom should he prove untrue He was
next directed to his father, who. producing a
piece of fishing line, informed him he would
choke to death his off-spring should he ever
prove unfaithful. Then, to cap the climax,
he was directed to face the entire tribe who,
brandishing their spears, yelled at the top of
their voices vengeance on him in the event
of unlaithfulness. At this juncture the
groom, apparently overcome with emotion
dropped to the ground, and, bowing bis head
to the earth, cried, “t will be true,” until
raised to his feet by his bride.— San Tran

Hanwe of the Plight of Olrd*.
It would seem at first that no barriers
eould limit the range of birds, and that they
ought to be the most übiquitious of living
things. This, however is lar from being the
ease. Many groups of birds are almost as
strictly limited as the mammalia. The pe
trels and the gulls are among the greatest
wanderers; but most of the species are con
fined to one or other of the seas. The sand
pipers and plovers wander along the shores
as far as do the petrels over the ocean. Great
numbers of them breed in the Arctic and mi
grate as far as India and Australia,or down
to Chili and Brazil, the species of the Old
and New World, however, being generally
distinct.
In striking contrast to these wide ranges
we find many of the small perching birds.,
with some of the parrots and pigeons, con
fined to small islands of a few square miles
in extent, or to single valleys or mountains
on the mainland. Those groups of birds
which possess no powers of flight, such as
ihe ostrich, cassowary and apteryx, are in
exactly the same position as the mammalia
as regaids their means of dispersal, or are
perhapseven inferior to them; since, although
they are able to cross rivers by swimming,
it is doubtfn! if they could remain so long
in the water as most land quadrupeds. A
large number of short-winged birds, such as
toucans, pittas and wrens, are perhaps worse
off, for they can fly very few miles at a time,
and on falling into the water woulyj soon be
drowned. It is only the strong-flying spe
cies that can venture to cross any great
width of sea, and even these, rarely do so un
less compelled by necessity to migrate in
search of food or to a more genial climate.
Small and weak birds arc, however, often
carried accidentally across great widths ol
ocean by violent gales. This is well exem
plified by the large number of stragglers
from North America which annually reach
the Bermudas. No less than 69 species of
American birds have occurred in Europe,
most ot them in Britain and Heligoland.
They consist chiefly of migratory birds
which in autumn return along the eastern
coast of the United States, and often fly from
point to point across bays and inlets. They
are then liable to be blown out to sea by
storms; and it is almost always at this time
of the year that their occurrence has been
noted on the shores of Europe. Birds which
frequent forests and thickets are secure from
such accidents, and restricted in their range
by the extent of the forests they inhabit.
Mountain chains, and even large rivers
like the Amazon, limit the range of many
birds.
The story is told of poor insane
Gorge 111., that he was one day
breakfasting at Kew, when the great
scarcity of her f which was then pre
vailing in Englaid became the Bub
ject of conversation. “Why do not
people plant more beef?” asked the
king. On being told that beef could
not be raised from seed, he seemed
still incredulous, and took some bits
of beefsteak and went into the gar
den and planted them. The next
morning ne went out to see if they
had sprouted, and found some snails.
Thinking they were oxen, he was
heard calling out. “Here they are!
Here they are, Charlotte, horns and
all.”
