The editor of the Mobile Register is wrong in SUD- posing that we invoke controversy with him on the merits of repeating the 25th section of the Judi clary Act To prolong the clamor at this time, would in our humble opinion, serve no other purpose than to work the poor old weather beaten hulk the constitution still farther from the shore In decd Ing how we were to act on question of such m D. nltude we preferred few weeks past to give the words of that illustrous statesman. whose voice is no more heard in the council house. but whose opn- Ions will continue to direct the wandering politician as dangers thicken and foes draw nigh So much has already been written and spoken on the subject that but few readers can be prevailed on to pursue ii any farther. Nor do we except to the sincerity with which the Register takes different side from our. selves on this question: but to :he perious situation in which the MAGNA CHARTA would be left Gas if is con- tended) by the repeal of that individual section In remarling upon the honest fears of the Register or the 25th section by no means our intention to attribute frenzy personal dislike as the rule of ac. ton in the editor. We concur entirely in the truth ofhs motto, 'that the price ofIiberty is eternal ve
 lance, and only dieras to the pointwhere the danger lies. Let the people now decide, they have alrea dy heard as much as they can rccoect of both sides and in their verdict will not be unmIndfu of theii own security.

Tuscaloosa Lyccum.-We take pleasure in pre- sentlng to our readers the able Lecture of Dr ALvA WooDs, recently delivered before the Tuscaloosa Lyceum. The objects of this institution cannot but be popularwith the people generally when sufficient ly known; and if pursued in the true and philan trophic spirit which is contemplated by its projectors we feel warranted in saying that the benefits to nd viduas and society will greatly overbalance the rou. ble and expense of putting it into operation. We hope the officers and managers will take some pains to induce men of literature and science throughout the State to become honorary members, in order that they may from time to time send written Lectures on any subject they might deem calculated to advance the plans in view

Faycttcclle Suferers.-We are happy to learn that the immediate wants of the unfortunate sufferers of Fayetteville have been promptly relieved by sub scriptions, &c in different towns. In Norfolk $2604, including $104 by the Masonic Lodges Nos. l and 36, contributed <; in Petersburg about $l7OO were raised; in Wilmington, Ss1200, exclu- sive of 100 bushels of corn in Hillsborough S625 in Warenton $200; in Halifax $2OO were voted from the town funds and a subscription opened, which was likely to succeed well. In Augusta- Ga. $l200 were collected and transmitted by the Mayor Meetings for the like purpose have been called in N York, Philadelphia, Washington City and Charles ton, but we have not heard the result We are sorry to say that no steps have yet been taken in Alabama to contribute to this truly benevolent fund.
 We have since gathered the following additional contributions: In Portsmouth $48O, including $10O by the Naval Lodge; in Philadelphia $50OO, with prospect of obtaining at least 5000 more in Boston

Cholera.-Indian Spasmodic Cholera is a plague of modern origin. This disease is in its prin- cipal symptoms altogether unlike the English Chole- ra, yet many persons not acquainted with the nature of both species, have confounded them. In Hindos- tan, Spasmodic Cholera has probably always ex- isted as a comparatively mild climatic disease, af fecting at certain of the year Il small number of individuals in various parts of the country. The opinion is countenanced by Hindoo authority. But there is evidence to show that it bore the epi demic character until the year 1917, unless ad- init the statement of MT Scott, who considered the that occurred towards the close of the last tury sufficiently numerous, and the sweep of coun- try travelled by the malady sufficiently large, to warrant the conclusion However this question may be disposed of it is at least certain that the h. dian Cholera not entitled to be cassed with pes tiental scourges of the worst description, previous to the beginning of August 1917, when it suddenly broke out with unprecedented malignity English man's Magazine.

Thunder fatal to Goslings.-A writer in the Ame- rican Farmer says, in late thunder storm the light ming descended in feld within less than half a mile of my dwelling, and killed two laborers, and laid prosrate and injured three more. But the effect in my fowl-yard was very remarkable had two broods of goslings, one nearly week od on the ground and another, two days, in basket in a house. At the instant when the thunder fell, which it did with the most astonishing force, the women who had the of the fowls, happened to be look ing upon those in the basket, and them, once, all fall over upon their backs and expire. Those in the yard, half an hour after found dead also nest of eggs under goose, then in progress of matching, all killed You may rely on the cor rectness of this statement Though goslings are ea- silly raised, and live than century they seem to be endued with nerves of uncommon sensibility, or to have systems peculiarly favorable to electric impressions.
 A respectable gentleman in neighboring town informs us that during the cannonadng of the battle of Bunker Hill, he was feeding brood of goslings about miles from Charlestown, and that all the gos- lings turned on their backs and died. The gentle man was then boy, and was much puzzled by the mysterious occurrence. ]-Salen Gazette.

Ancient Retiques-The partial draining of Loch leven, at considerable expense, has been the means of bringing to light two highly interesting re-
 ques of the days of the beautiful but unfortunate Mary. The first is marble figure, dehcatply scup- tured, of tlie human form in miniature, which was found near the island of Saint Ser and is supposed to have decorated one of the nches of its famous monastery The other is handsome sceptre ap- parenty of cane, hilted with ivory and mounted with silver,upon which latter the letters of the words Mary Queen of Scotts" are almost wholly Iegibe although both the ivory and silver are much decay ed. The sceptre was found near the Mary Knowe, ; the supposed landing place of the fair sovereign in her memorable escape from the Castle of Lochleven. These important reliques were both discovered by some boys who were amusing themselves on the newly reclaimed land, and are, we understand, now in the possession of Lord Chief Commissioner Adam -Edinburgh Advertiser.

Singular Adoenture-Once upon a time travel Ter stepped into post coach He was young man just starting in life. He found six passengers about him, all of them grey headed and extremely aged men. The youngest appeared to have seen eighty winters. Our young traveller struck with the singularly mild and happy aspect which distinguish ed all his fellow passengers and determined to as- certain the secret of long life, and the art of mals- ing old age comfortable. He addressed the one who was apparently the eldest. who told him he always led regular and abstemious life, eating vegetables and drinking water. The young man was rather daunted at this nasmuch he liked the good things of life. He addressed the second, who astounded him by saying he had always eat roast beef and gone to bed, reguiary fuddled, for seventy years, adding that all depends on regularity. The third had prolonged his days by never seeking accept ing office: the fourth by resolutely abstaining from all political religious controversies and the fifth by getting to bed at set and rising at dawn. The sixth was apparently much younger than the other fve-his hair was less grey, and there was more of it-a placid smile, denoting perfectly easy con science, mantled his face, and his voice was jocund and strong. They were all surprised to learn that he was bv ten years the oldest man in the coach - How exclaimed our traveller, "how is it you have thus preserved the freshness of life7"-"It Is no great mystery" said the old man, "I have drank water and drank wne-I have eat meat and vegeta- bles-I have held public offce-l have dabbed in politics and written religious pamphlets--I have sometimes gone to bed at midngh got up sun rise and at noon-but 1 ALWAYS PAID PROMPTLY FOR MY NEWSPAPERS.
