The wful murder of slave, is at length decar-
led by the state Of South Carolina, to be capital
crime, and punishable with death.
A coroner's inquest was held yesterday morning,
by James b. Stansbury esq, in Baltimore county
Jail, over the body Of Joseph Thompson. who was
under sentence of death for the murder Of Miss
Hamilton. 1t appeared in evidence that he had for
some time refused to receive sufficient sustenance
ito support nature and consequently was very ema-
clated at the time of his death.
Verdict of the jury that he came TO his death
from the visitation of Cod baltimore, ian. 81.
The duties on foreign merchandise imported into
Boston. in 1884, will be nearly four millions of dol
liars.
The Honorable Josiah Quincy on taking his seat
las Judge Of the Boston Municipal Court declared
that his conduct shoudb be regulated by two prin-
iciplesI " lie should prescribe to himself pune
Itual and as far as in him lay, perfect ful6Iment
Eof his own dulies"-LI. He should exact the

" Mr.. Ward collected for the Serampore College
in England and Scotland, about 61,450 dollars, and
nearly 10000 dollars in the United States IN In.
If the vote fixing the ratio Of representation at
900 may be considered as conclusive there will
be more than two hundred Representatives in the
next Congress number we would suppose
unnecessarily great for convenient, useful or eco
lnomica legislation. II would certainly be much
better to increase the ratio; especially as it
would tend to lessen the influence of the large
states.--Fed. Gaz.

MADAME cATALINT.

This celebrated songstress cleared $4,000 gui<
meas during four months excursion to Russia,
besides the receipt of presents from the Imperial
family and the nobility, worth perhaps. as much
more. The price oftickes Of admission to hear her
sing was fixed at 25 roubIes, and her room was
always so crowded that many could not get in. On
one occasion she exhibited her powers before 40@0
PERSONS and gave the whole proceeds to the poor.
She was offered 10000 guneas to give 10 concerts
lat Moscow, but fearing the climate, declined to
accept the condition. In all her progress through
Europe she has been courted by the most dstin-
guished persons--the emperor Of Russia kissed
her hands, Her voice is still said to be in full vi
gor-she isnow in England, and to appear in Lon.
don next spring. Surely, she must be wonderful
woman--but, how much Of her greatness depends
on fashion? My venerable friend in Massachusetts
says I" fashion is every thing he thinks that
there would not be a tenth part as many rogues,
morally, politically, religiously, if it were really
fashionable to be honest and sincere.

GENUINE CHRISTIANITY

We may die (says the celebrated John Wesley
without the knowledge of many truths. and yet be
carried into Abrahsm's bosom; but we die without
love, what will knowledge avail? Just as much as it
avails the devil and his angels! will not quarrel
with you about any opniOn only see that your heart
be right towards God, that you love the Lord Jesus
Christ, that you love your neighbours, and walk
as your Master walked, and | desire no more, | am
sick of opinions am weary to hear them; my soul
loathes this frothy food. Give me solid and SUBJ
stantiaI religions give an humble, gentle lover of
God and man; man full of mercy and good fruits,
without hypocrisy: man laying himself out in the
work of fath the patience OF hope, the labor OF love-
Let my soul be with these Christians, wheresoever
they are and whatsoever opinion they are of. Who
soever thus doeth the will of my father which is in
heaven, the same my brother, and sister, and mo.
ther.
