HENRY BOX BROWN.

One of the most thrilling events OF the week
was the appearance of the heroic mau who so
recently escaped from slavery in box, marked
and forwarded as Merchandise, from Richmond
to Philadelphia The warmest sympathies oil the
people were enlisted in his behalf. His story is
one Of thrilling interest. Every generous heart
will be touched by its recital; whenever and
wherever that story is told it will arou'e the SYM
pathes of mankind, not only for Henry Box
Brown, but for his oppressed race. Shame on
Virginia, that one of her sons should thus be
compelled to act and suffer to gain the rights
which belong to our common humanity. She
proudly claims TO be the mother OF sta esmen
and heroes but no son of hers ever gave greater
evidence of heroism than this poor despised son
of hers. And this act OF herosm was not made
in her defence, but 1t was made in escaping from
her bosom.
We copy from the Chronotype the story as told
by himself, at the anti slavery meeting on We'd
nesday night. Let each OF US, as we read 1t. re-
member that three millions of our race are held
in bondage, by the same laws which this poor
man rlsKed so much to escape from. Let each
one OF u.s. then, firmly resolve to exert all the pc.
litical and moral influence possess, to free the
country from the curse aud shame OF slavery
Let us vow, that come what may, we will never
cease efforts until every slave in our country
stand up in the dignity of manhood and say,
81 too am man and brother.

Petty Larceny among the COnno,sseurs.-
London papers give account OF the arrest of a
young numismatooist from Vienna, OF fashion.
| able appearance and highly respectable connec-
tons, who had been detected in pilferns valu-
able ancient Greek and Roman CONS from the
British Museum, in which, having been proper
ly introduced, he had remained in the medal de-.
partment studying and stealing, for two months,
The large collection OF coins found at his lodg-
lngs, including those stolen from the Museum.
was valued at upwards of E2 ,000 or about ten
thousand dollars. We believe this unIuckv
young sevant is not the first am ateur whose sci.
entihc ardor and ambition to make up fine cabi
net have led him into the mistake OF picking up
valuaoies IN the wrong places. The crystallo-
grapher who shattered a costly vase of some
precious material by dropping it., accidentally of
course, on the hearth, that he might carry off the
fragment as specimen, was a cunning man,
who both secured his prize and the means of ma.
king public use OF 1t. What is curious in these
matters is, that vrtuosos will occasionally crib
curlosltles OF such character that they can new
er dare hope to show them, alive, or leave them
to be shown, when dead; since the exhibition
must OF necessity reveal the theft This was the
case with the unknown autograph. fancier, chron-
icled by Sir Walter Scott, who, at Abbottstord.
soon after Lord Byron's death, stole the well
known letter accompanying the ancient vase
sent from Greece by the noble bard as present
to the auhtor OF Waverly. And this, too, was
precisely the case with the meda-thief at the
British Museum. The COINS he stole were of
the rarest and most valuable character, and so
perfectly well known, that TO let them be seen
by any body would have been to insure his de-
lection. We suppose there must be, according
to modern psychology, some kind of insanity in
all this; but we are afraid it will not prove Of a
kind to be admitted as a plea of defence; when
the affair comes up for trial before London
judge and jury.-Phii. Y. s. Gar.

BURNING Our THE CHOLERA. The citizens
in some parts OF st. Louis, while the Cholera there
was at its worst kept tar barrels burning day and
night, at the corner Of almost every other block,
with the design OF purifying the atmosphere. The
New York Express states that the best effects fol.
lowed this cheap and simple method of treating
the scourge Tor it was remarked that in those dis
trIets where no such experiment was tried, the
deaths were most numerous. During the prev
alence of Cholera in and about Pittsburg, in 1882
large coal fires were kept burning in the streets,
which were purifying in their influences on
the air, that but very limited number of cases
markable fact in this connexion is noticed by the
Express as worth mentioning the Cholera
Misrepresentation the city of n ew York in 1882 33
it was ascertained that there had not been sin
gle case in the immediate vicinity of the Gas
Works, where large quantities of coal are kept
constantly burning. AS the experiment be
made with but trifiing expense, 1t would be
well to test the sanatve effects of the tar should
the disease visit us in good earnest anY time ths
present summer. The practice, ia new one her,
Is an old one in some of the cities OF Europe.
A correspondent of the Journal Of Commerc,
says
That town in Tennessee has entirely escaped tht
scourge of the cholera the past winter, notwith
standing every other town in the vicinity suffer
ed from il severely. This has been attributed tc
the free and universal use of quick lime, fresh
from the kilns, which was scattered through the
cutters, cellars, privies and yards lis disniect.

That AXE. The other day / was holding a
man by hand as firm in its outer texture as
leather; and his sun burnt face was as inflexble
as parchment; he was pouring forth tide of
contempt on those who complain that they can
find nothing 10 do, as an excuse for becoming
idle an loafers
Said |, "Jef, what do you work at? You
look hearty and happy when you are at work.
"Why," said he, 81 bought me an axe three
years ago, that cost me two dollars; that was all
the money had. | went to chopping wood by
the cord; | have done nothing else, and have
earned more than $500, have drank no grog, paid
no doctor, and have bought me a little farm in
the Hosier State, and shall be married next week
to girl who has earned 5000 since she was
eighteen. My old axe shall keep in the draw
er, ana buy me new one to cut my wood with
with"
After left him, | thought to myself, "that
axe" and "no grog!" They are the two things
to make man in this new world. How small a
capital" That axe. How sure OF success with
the motto emo grog!" And then farm and

The GLoRIoUs UNCERTAINTY OF LAW.
Time was when justice and law were regarded
as synonymous terms; but the improperly OF their
connexion has become quite apparent OF late years
under the enlightened decisions OF our Courts, and
divorce might well be decreed between them it
it has not already been done, on the ground OF
wiul deSertion for years. A in point has
just taken place in the Common Pleas Court in
this town. Fanny Gilman was convicted OF adul-
terry with Gordon Little and OTIS Smith, and sent
enced TO imprisonment Tor one year for the first
offence, aud six months Tor The second. Gordon
Little sent to the State Prison for his part of
the business, but Ohs Smith was acquitted. The
principal witness in all the cases was the same,
and though his testimony convicted the first two,
it was thrown out when Smith came to trial, be-
cause it proved that he did not believe in God,
and was therefore not legal witness. Fanny,
therefore, for aduterous communication with
Smith, takes SIX months in the House OF Correc-
ton, while Smith, equally culpable, goes scot
free. The difference that Smith had law
yer, and Fanny had not. She had justice, he

FOURTH DISTRICT.

The voters Of thus Disir Ct have an important duty
,s,,o,m on the l,h Of mex, month"; ~ from which,
here is no dodgns, because, on the decision o the
mos, vital before The people OF this Country may
depend. The primary question, TO be settled by the
electors is whether the District shall be represented BY
an able fearless Conscientious and true statesman or
90 unrepresenied. This is the trae issue before them,
for there is not the shadow Of pIeence, that any
can be elected the district except John Gorham Pals
rev. And why should he not be eleced? That is the
question. Has he failed to do his duty Has he
ever proved unequal to the emergency in which he has
been placed7 Is any other candidate offered with high
eI qualifications for the Office No such thing peien-
died. The ony act in his legislative that is
planned of by those no striving earnestly Tor his
defeat, is his vote against Robert G. Winthrop Speak
er of the House. And this vote, they well Know
unwilingIy given, and not until he well assured
that Winthrop would prove false to The North and false
10 Freedom. He did prove, in the organization OF
the committees, and gave the slave pow the
dancy in the Committee on the Judiciary and the Cons
mit,ee on the District Cf Columbia.
And is il come this, that in the Fourth District of
old Massachusetts, one of the abes, and bes.
of the State to be hunted down and defeated for his
love Of Freedom and fidelity 10 her cause-or The very
Hdt III tdIlieI uettcI VI ouf
would have been ms highest recommendation TO the
People We do not yet believe il. We do notbeeve,
however partisan leaders may that the cool refeclng,
honest portion OF the people OF the district will permit
any such thing 10 be done. Bot we do believe that the
HONEST men of all parties will uni to defeat base
scheme, and will support with cordial good will who
susans the fundamental principles of government,
regardless Of party schem,s and partizan preferences
The opposition Parey does not originate in the
District. II was instigated by the personal friends OF
Robert c. Winthrop, and by that moneyed coJtonoc>
racy in Boston, which for years past has hung like
incubus the Wing party of Massachusetts bane
and it curse which would bind it HAND and foot, and
lay poweress before the slave power. Will the hons
est portion of the Wings of the Fourth District yield
this foreign diciation We shall see. And whether
they do not, that the Democracy of the Dis
ct will not permit triumph and effect its purposes by
preventing choice The people OF all parties have a
deep interest in securing representation, and that OBJ
ject should be defeated and, consequence thereof sla
very should be permitted 10 extend itself over the
territories Of New Mexico and California would be
triumph to the cause of despotlsm dsreputable to the
country, disgracefu TO the district, and doubly tc
those by whose agency il should be effected.

WATER DRINKING IN CHILDHOOD. 1t is
particularly with those who have been accustom-
ed to water drinking in childhood that it will
show its good fleets in alter lie. During the
FIRST nine months the infant is 10 be nourished by
lis mothers milk, which serves as TODD and drink
il is gradually accustomed TO other sustenance
during the period Of weaving. Alter this is ac-
eompished, however, the infant should have
fresh water as well as L ilk. BY water drinking
in childhood and youth, the foundation ofa dura-
BILE stomach is laid, and thus of a healthy body
throughout life. The nerves and blood system
are over excited by taking viands, spices, beer,
wine, chocolate, coffee, etc., and thus constant
artificial state OF fever is maintained, and the
process OF lie is much accelerated by it, that
children fed in this manner do not attain perhaps
hall the age ordained by nature. Besides this,
experience has taught that they become passion
ate and wilful, having neither the Will nor the
power 10 make themselves or others happy
Furthermore, too exciting and nutritious food
gives rise TO many diseases TO which they fall
sacrifice in early years. Parents should weigh
this well They should throw aside their preJu-
dice against water, which they look upon as
weakening. ignorantly considering that the ten
der organism Of children requires Tar more nour-
ishing diet 10 bring ii to maturity than the alrea-
dy perfected body OF the adult. This is wrong
notion; children thrive best upon simple, mod
! erately nourshing vegetable diet on milkand
pure water! We see this confirmed in the cot
tage of the peasant Scientific american.

THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM.

We do not regret that the proposition, re-
Gently before the House of Commons, for the
abolition of Jury Trials in the County Courts,
has been postponed for although we are sat
isfied great abuses exist in consequence of this
prerogatiye, we agree with Mr.. Mosely of
Warren, that it is question of sufficient no.
velty and importance to be submitted TO the
people.
We think in his remarks upon the Bill, he
takes the proper ground and the only doctrine
consistent with true republicanism, as under
stood in this country. II is always the most
correct and proper proceeding in all new ques-
tons calculated to involve in their decision,
organic changes of government, that the views
of the people be ascertained before any furth-
