AMERICAN LADIES.

Perhaps there is no country in the world where the women are more completely do- mestic than they are in our country and none where female influence is more generally felt. This is the most happy circumstance and it affords most powerful,argument in favor of female education.
 It is trite know, but very important to re- mark, that when ladies are distinguished for domestic habits and virtues, their mutual in huence is very great.
 They mould the hearts, and to great de- gree, form the understanding of the future fa- liners and mothers in our country.-Now they who have in their hands so great part of early. .education, certainly ought to receive

ARMENIAN CHRISTIANS AT CON
 STANTINOPLE.

The Rev. Robert Walsh, ,LL.D. late Chap lain to the British Embassy at COnstantino- pie, has given to the public, through the pa ges of"The Amulet,''a sketch of the history, religion, SLc. of the American Christians in Constantinople and the adjoining villages, es- timated at 200, ,OOO. Of these, about 4,OOO have conformed to the Roman Catholic forms of worship, and acknowledge the supremacy of the Pope the remainder adhere to the doctrines and discipline of their primitive A. siatic Churches, and acknowledge no spiritual head but their own Patriarchs, four in num- Der, viz. the Patriarch of Etchmeasin," near Erivan, in Persia, and of ?" Sis," Cansha- har," and Achtamar," in Armenia. There are also the Patriarchs of "Constantinople," and of {" Jerusalem :" but these are merely titular, being appointed by the Sultan, and having properly no share in the government of the Church. Persons who have read the Journals of the American Missionaries to Pal estine, need not be informed that these secu- lar Patriarchs las the two last may properly enough be called) are mere tools of the Sultan; being made the instruments of enforcing his firmans, and of collecting the Capitation Tax, for which they are held responsible.

 "Places Of fWorship.-The Churches of the Armenians are plain edifces outside, but the interior is exceedingly gaudy. In common with the Greeks, they abhor images as idola- trous, and they never admit statue inside of their Church. They do not, however, an, mex the same idea to pictures, and the walls of their churches are literally covered up to the roof with portraits of our Saviour, the Virgin and different saints, to all ofwhich they pay profound veneration, by genufection, touch ing their hands first to the ground before them, and then to their foreheads, and kissing some part of the figure with an awiui re- spect.

MURDERS AND EXECUTIONS.

We have always been of opinion, that the publications oflong, and circumstantial accounts of murder, suicides, and public ex- ecutions, ,has very pernicious influence up- on society and have therefore refrained from filling our columns with such loath- some details. The following notice of a scene exhibited at the execution of an In- dim, in Lenox, Ms. which we copy from the Berkshire American, goes to shew con- clusively the demoralizing effect of such public spectacles.
 What group appeared at Lenox ! There were high (not high minded) and low, rich and poor, old men and young, black and white, and all the intervening shades of colour; the farmer, the mechan- ic, the merchant, the labourer, the gentle man-idler, and the student-men of all professions and employments, as well as those without empIoyment-and to crown the whole UOmen! yes, gracious heaven soft, delicate, tender-hearted females, who would faint at the killing of a chicken, went fifteen or twenty miles to see fellow creature put to death Wives went with their husbands, sweethearts with their loy- CTS What a spectacle On the back ground of the picture, was the unhappy victim, in the last agony of parting life; on the foreground, were billing and cooing like doves. The whole scene, as painters say, was in excellent keeping. For what could be more proper, than for those whose ! souls were united in the closest bonds of af- lection, to go % miles to witness the sev- ering of soul from body
 Solemn as the occasion was that drew together such crowd of spectators, some parts of the scene must, nevertheless, have been irresistibly ludicrous. Males and fe- males jumbled together in one common

From the Charleston Courier of Nov 2s


 On the 24th Oct. 1926 about 12 o'clock at night a negro girl belonging to gentle man of this city, aged about 2Oyears, of TO- bust constitution and apparently in perfect health,i in consequence of strong excitement, caused from setting up with black corpse, in company with large assemblage of col- cured people, who were singing, &c. as is common with these people on such oc- casions, fell into lethargy, from which she was not reused, notwithstanding the application of blisters, the shower bath of cold water, &c. until the s1 of the same month when she awoke but could not separate her lower jaw from the uper one until she was electrified, which was done on the 2d inst. when she ate food for the first time since being in that situation but her tongue being contracted, she could ot speak until 21st when she spoke, and said she felt quite well, and free from all kind ofpain.-She was four weeks in this state. During the first entire week she was asleep her pulses was good and natural and her slumbers appeared calm and comfortable {; but there was total suspension of all the animal functions except perspiration.

 THE AFRICAN CHIEF. Chained in the market-place he stood
 A man of giant frame, Amid the gathering multitude.
 That shrunk to hear his name All stern of look and strong of limb.
 His dark eye on the ground And silently they gazed on him, a As on a lion bound. ~ Vainly, but well, that chief had fought, He was a captive now; Yet pride, that fortune humbles not,
 Was written on his brow. The scars his dark broad bosom wore, Showed warrior true and brave; A Prince among his tribe before,
 He could not be slave. Then to his conquorer he spake--
 My brother is a King; Undo this necklace from my neck,
 And take this bracelet ring; And send me where my brother reigns, And will fill thy hands With store of ivory from the plains,
 With gold dust from the sands.' "Not for thy ivory nor thy gold
 Win unbind thy chain That bloody hand shall never hold
 The battle spear again. A price thy nation never gave Shall yet he paid for thee; For thou shalt he the Christians slave, In lands beyond the sea- Then wept the warrior chief, and bade To shred hisslOcks away, And, one by one, each heavy braid
 Before the victor lay. Thick were the plated locks, and long. And dcftly hidden there Shone many a wedge of gold among The dark and crisped hair, Look, feast thy greedy eye with gold, Long kept for sorest need; Take it-thOu askest sums untold
 And say that am freed. a. Take it-my wife, the long, long day
 Weeps by the cocoa tree, And my young children leave their play, And ask in vain for me- II take thy gold-but have made
 Thy letters fast and strong, And ween that by the cocoa shade
 Thy wife will wait the long, Strong was the agony that shook
 The captive's frame to hear, And the proud meaning of his look,
 Was changed to mortal fear. His heart was broken-crazed his brain- At once his eye grew wild, $ He struggled fercely with his chain,
 Whispered, ,s.and''wept, and smiled: Yet wore not long those fatal bands,
 And once at shut of day, They drove him forth upon the sands,
 The foul hyena's prey.

But great part of the spectators, on such an occasion, are those who have witnessed every exe- cution within forty miles of them, since their memory and who would almost as soon miss of going to heaven, as to a hang ing. Such persons consult the chronicles of the times, for no other purpose, than to, read of murders, rapes, trials, sentences of death and executions and are always find- ing fault, either with the dulIness of the times or the neglect of the publisher, in not fur nishing them with the horrid repast.
 A hundred persons are made worse; where one is made better by. public exe- cution. Rioting, drunkenness, and every species of disorderly conduct prevail on such occasion to an extent never witnessed from any other cause in the land of steady habits. There is on most occasions, that draw persons together in large bodies, some attention to decorum, some regard to character some appearance of feeling but all these are banished, for the time, by the thousands who flock together to witness apublic execution.

cited in Lima in consequence of Bolivar having
arrested about twelve of his chief officers among
whom were the General of Marines and Admiral
Guize. Bolivar, however, appears quite uncon-
cerned, and passes his time in the evenings at the
theatre, generally accompanied by his Aids-de-
Camp. General Bolivar had issued an order, re-
curing all Buenos Ayrean merchants TO quit Lima
in fifteen days. He had marched the Peruvian
troops out OF the Castle of Callao, and replaced
them by Colombian.

LAGUAYRA, Oct. %, 1896.
You must know from the public prints that
almost the whole of Colombia is in state of in
sufrection against the government OF Bogots, and
that they want federation; form of government
like the United States of America. Bolivar is on
some OF his Quixotic expeditions, and seems to
have no wish to return. Indeed the general wish
IS that he never will. Paez is at the head of af-
LARS in the province, and has hitherto conducted
himself with much propre,y and great moderation
How the affair will end is still within the unread
book OF fate hope they will avoid all fighting
or civil war-although strangers are pretty secure,
