THE MAGAZINES.
The Aldine for May, 1875 comes to
us in good time, and quite as well
freighted with the good things of art
and literature as have been previous num
bers. Pictorially,something uf an exeunt
sion is made, in this number, iuto that
laud of faery which, as one of the wri
ters remarks, we all like to visit occa*
sionally. There are no less than two
glimpses of oqr little pet k Cinderella, —
the first, a capital picture, by Bertrand,
of “ Cinderella in the Corner,” and the
second, “ Cinderella’s Pumpkin.” Then
wo have, also by Dore, “ The Fatal
Spindle,” showing a scene which all
will remember, from the fine old story
of the “ Sleeping Beauty.” Two glori
ous domestic pictures of the French
school, “ The Return from the Field,”
by Deloffe, and “ The Young Marau
ders,” by Bougereau, follow ; with one
of the most effective Southern Europe
an scenes we remember, in “ A Funeral
on the Adriatic.” A fine picture of
the “ Pass of Finstermunz,” in Swit
zerland, and the most striking of all—
“ Ethan Allen at Ticonderoga/’ by John
S. Davis, a most effective rendering of
that notable scene in Revolntionary his
tory. Literarily,this glorious array of pic
tures is well supported—with abundant
interest, if with something less than
the usual variety. The fine Engjish
story, “ Lost Lillian Braey,” comes to
one of those startling conclusions which
make the blood tingle with satisfaction;
and the new novel of the Revolution,
“ The Spur of Monmouth,” opens out,
in the second number, with all the
force of its first promise, introducing
some new characters worthy of that re
markable time. Besides these, there
are editorials and articles of literature,
music aud art. Taken all in all, it is
not too much to say that the Aldine, in
its present issue, is up to its best mark,
and one more proof that the best art
and the best literature can be gathered
between the same covers.

Tsie Racing Missouri.
Few people comprehend the destruc
tion the recent rise in the muddy Mis
souri is working between this city and
Leavenworth. Acre uron acre of the
most fertile and well improved farms are
melting away like frost under a noon
day sun, and many of tne thrifty farm
ers on both sides of the stream will
soon find themselves landless and home
less, and the turbid, turbulent stream,
sweeping over the spot that had caused
them so much toil and trouble to improve.
A few miles above lataa the picture
presented is truly distressing. The
raging current strikes direetdy across
trorn the western to the eastern shore,
and for a full mile the green wheat
fields have been eaten into and swept
away, and still the work of destruction
g n es on.. On the west side, and but a
short distance below Atchison, whole
corn fields have been undermined and
dropped into the dirty drink which rip
ples over as if the fiendish old river re
ally enjoyed the havoc it was creating.
Near Leavenworth, on the line of the
Missouri Pacific, one land owner de
clares that of a fine farm of forty-five
beautiful acres seeded in wheat scarcely
fifteen remain, and that is disappearing
at an alarming rate. Many of the is
lands are also being licked up at a rate
that threatens a total wiping out, and
in many places the channel is so chang
ed that old river pilots are nonplussed
to pick out a safe 'course. As this jam
boree of the Missouri is merely inciden
tal and periiminary to the great June
rise which all old river men predict
when the mountain snows begin to dis
solve, we hardly know what will become
of the bottom lands when the stream is
at flood tide. —Atchison Champion.
Mr. SliJl £>i the Ninth District.
Mr. Hill’s friends in the recent Nom
inating Convention of the Ninth Con
gressionai District addressed to him the.
following dispatch :
The Democratic Congressional Con
vention for the Ninth Pistrict has been
in session at this place since the 14th
instant, and after four hundred and six
ballots, have been unable to make a
nomination. While the friends of Hon,
II- P. Bell have a majority of five votes
in the Convention, the real strength of
the Convention being twenty eight for
yourself and thirty-three for Beil, yet
the counties represented by delegates
voting for yourself represented a large
majority of the citizenship of the dis
trict of the Democratic vetes thereof.
The report of the Comptroller General
for 1874 shows eleven thousand and
eight hundred and sixty five polls in
the counties whose representatives are
supporting you, and eight thousand six
hundred and thirty-one rolls in the
counties supporting Mr. Bell. In ad
dition to this the official vote for Con
gressman at the last election shows that
the bounties supporting you cast two
thirds of the Democratic vote polled at
said election.
In view of these facts we have firmly
refused to abandon you for Mr. Bell,
believing that the demands of your op
ponent in the convention, which was
actually that two-thirds of the people
shall yield to one-third was unreasona
ble, undemocratic and unprecedented.
In addition to this you are, in point of
fact, the strongest candidate before the
convention, as the small majority of
five in favor of Mr. Bell was obtained
by a coalition of the friends of that
gentleman and the friends of Mr. Well
born, of Union. We are satisfied, both
from the action of those who oppose
you in the Convention, from their posi
tion, and the assertions of many of them
that they prefer Mr. Price to yourself,
and that the real purpose which has in
duced them to adjourn sine die and re
mit the whole question to the people
was, and is to continue the convention
in session until the sth of May, and
thereby secure a defeat of the popular
will by permitting Mr. Price to make
the race without opposition. To this
fraud upon the people we cannot become
parties.
We, therefore, earnestly request that
you at once take the field as the Demo
cratic candidate to represent the Ninth
District in the Forty-fourth Congress,
pledging to you the enthusiastic support
of ourselves and the people whom we
lepresent. We do not intend to with
draw from the Convention now in ses
sion here, that those who are defying
the popular will may place you in the
false position of the foe to the party or
ganization, but to remain with them
until the day of election, if they per
sist in rejecting the fair propositions we
have made them to submit the matter to
the people.
Application or a Mad-Stone.
The Springfield (111.) Journal of the
14th instant says : “The application of
a ‘mad-stone,’ as it is termed, as a cure
for the bite of a mad dog, is not an un
common occurrence in this section, and
there are believed to be several mad
stones in this State, two of which—one
owned by Mr. Samuel Tribble, of Piasa,
Macoupin county, and the other by Mr.
J. P. Evans, of Lincoln—are frequent
ly called into requisition to remove the
virus resulting from a mad dog’s bite,
and not a few cures of bad cases of hy
drophobia have been reported as result
ing from the application of the stone.
A recent instance is furnished in the
case of Mr. J. G. Crouch, a well known
citizen of Rochester, in this county,
who was bittten last Friday by a little
curly dog. Mr. Crouch subsequently
noticed that the dog had a peculiar
look ; being green about the eyes, and
he quickly parted company with the
brute. The bite, which was on the fore
finger of the left hand, was regarded as
a slight affair, however, until the next
day, when the hand became badly swol
len and the wound very painful, Mrs,
Crouch was alarmed and persuaded her
husband to go to Lincoln and have the
mad-stone applied. On Monday Mr.
Crouch, his wound still being very pain
ful, went to Lincoln and the stone was
applied by Mr Evans the same afternoon.
It at once adherred to the wound so firm
ly that it could scarcely be shaken off,
until it had extracted such portions of
the virus as its porus nature would con
tain. After being soaked in warm and
cold water, the stone was applied again,
and the operation repeated at intervals
until yesterday afternoon, as long as it
wonld adhere. When it would no lon
ger attach itself to the wound Mr.
Evans pronounced the cure complete.—
The stone was applied to other fresh
wounds upon Mr. Crouch’s band, but
would only adhere to the wounds result
ing from the dog bite. When the stone
became fully charged with the virus it
would of itself drop off the wound, and
emitted a very offensive odor. The vi
rus was of a dark green color. Mr.
Crouch returned home last evening, well
pleased with the result of his visit.—
His wound now looks like a mere
scratch, and he says is without pain.—
He is a gentleman of prominence in
Rochester, of undoubted veracity.”
Slavery in Pennsylvania.— The
fourteenth day of t v e present month
was the centennial of the organization
of the first anti-slavery society in this
country —the one organized at Phila
delphia by a party of Quakers —and the
Philadelphia journals, being full of the
centennial spirit, make it the occasion
for reviewing the great work which the
society accomplished. A critical ex
amination of the record, however, de
prives the Philadelphia boastings of
much of the ground on which they are
made to rest. Pennsylvania, under the
teachings of the original anti-slavery
society, did become a free State, but not
by making the slaves free men ; it did
not emancipate them—it sold them to
the southerners for a consideration, and
then embarked more furiously than ever
in the general anti-slavery business.—
The gradual emancipation act of the
State was passed in 1781, but a female
slave was sold at public auction as late
as 1 823,— St Louis Republican.
Raising a Funeral Wind.
A Charleston paper gives the follow
ing account of au unique way of rasing
funds to pay funeral expenses : In one
of the colored churches iu Charleston,
on last Sunday, the preacher adopted a
novel way of raising the funeral expen
ses of one of the criminals to be hung
on next Friday. Standing amid his
books and pulpit drapery with a hymn
book in one hand and a.five dollar bill
in the other, ho invited contributions to
the fund. Laying his five dollar bill
on the pulpit he said : “Who’ll cover
that ?” f Mie amount was soon covered
by one of the Croesuses of the flock.—
Down went a two dollar bill followed
by Jhe exclamation, ‘“Who’ll cover
that ?” The amount was covered and so
he went, until he reached fifty cents.—
On laying down this piece of fractional
currency, he said : *‘l now come to the
old ladies; surely one of them will
cover that amount.” One of the elder
sisters tottered up to the pulpit, and
with an air of satisfaction covered the
fifty cents with cur/ency of the same
denomination “Now for the Sunday
school children,” said the preacher, as
he laid down a ten cent bill. “How
many ot the lambs vill cover that ?”
and the original ten cent bill was buried
in a heap of similar bits of the nation’s
promises to pay. By this novel method
a goodly amount was realized.
The Freedmeifs Bank
The affairs of the Freedmen’s Bank
with its twenty-one branches, go on
from bad to worse. The commissioners
appointed to wind up the institution arc
disgusted with the job and want to re
sign, but Attorny General Williams
rules that they cannot do so. The old
managers are very free in proffering
suspicious advice, and make the situa
tion uncomfortable for the commission
ers. The bank depositors, being mostly
ignorant negroes, decline surrendering
their pass-books which are absolutely
necessary to straighten the kinks in
the regular books. Every day devel
ops some new and strange negotiation
of the old management in the lending of
funds. The commissioners dare not
put up for sale property nominally be
longing to the bank, because there is
reason to suspect that much of it has
been messaged over again. Meanwhile
the assets are daily dwindling from va
rious causes, and heartrending appeals
come up from depositors most of whom
cannot understand where their money
has gone.
Another Civil Rights Failure.
—A negro man died lately in Fredericks
burg, Virginia, uude’- ridiculous cir
cumstances. lie was afflicted with
dropsy and prescribed for by a white
doctor, but the impression having ob
tained among the ignorant friends of
the sick man that he was under a spell,
the usual remedies were rejected and
the invalid placed under the care of a
“ trick ” doctor. This colored physi
cian had the sick man taken out of the
house where he was ill that the spell
might have no effect and taken to a hut
where the mysterious remedies sup
posed to be adapted to his case were
applied. The great item in the treat
ment was the application of a half dol
lar to the sick man’s heel to take the
swelling out of his body. The half
dollar was stuck on and the patient pre
pared to get well, but somehow didn’t
succeed. The half dollar produced no
other effect unless it had an influence
in making the man a corpse, and the
Fredericksburg darkeys are now won
dering if the civil rights bill amounts
to much after all, since the best profes
sional effort of the “ trick ” doctors are
not improved in results.
♦ K*..
The Oivil Rights Rill.
The Washington Chronicle is much
exercised at the refusal of the Southern
people to patronize the Pullman cars
after they have been opened to negroes,
and calls for more stringent punishment
than is piovided for in the Civil Rights
bill.
The punishment will come after a
while, but not in the direction the
Chronicle looks for. Very soon Mr.
Pullman will see his customers confined
entirely to blacks, and this reduction
will starve him out. If it does not, the
Southern railroad companies will soon
get tired of hauling his heavy carriages
that do not carry passengers enough to
compensate them for the toil. The
white people might, on a pinch, put up
with nearly all the social disagreeabili
ties of the Civil Rights requirements,
but the Pullman Company ought to
have sense enough to know that it is
not possible to expect Southern ladies
to occupy the sleeping cars on railroads
with the other race, and Southern men
will not tolerate or patronize cars owned
by a company that excludes their wives
and daughters from the privilege of
their use. —Mobile Register.
