inhabitants to leave their houses, so that
they could burn them down. They drove
alIthc men of the colony into the church,
and the women and children into the
hospital. Next day the mob again as
sembled and burned the hay stacks Of
the colony, and set fire to the buildings
at Little Hill, two miles from Cambridge.
The principal men and women of the
colony fled from the fury of the mob,
and are now in st. Louis. No member
Of the colony had anything to do with
the separation of Root and his wife, and
of course they are not answerablc in
any shape for it.
Root prctends to an intimate knowl-
edge of the bad designs on the part of
the colony, and circulates ISLANDERS of all
kinds against them. But it is known
that they arc an innocent and unofiend-
ing people. They are Christians, wor-
shipping God according to the Bible,
which is their sole guide. They eat at
Il common table, and work for the COM
mon benefit, but each family lives by
itself Marriage is recognized by them.
In nothing do they differ from other
Christians, except that they eat COM
mon table, and work for the common
benefit. They suffered severely from
cholera last year, and seventy widows
with their children, are left dependent
upon the colony for support. The colo
ny owns about four thousand acres of
land, a church, large four story brick
dwelling house, two other brick houses.
five frame buildings, and other small
houses for store-rooms, a windmill, a
. fiax-machine, two saw mills q steam
fouring-mill; and large part of the
land is improved. The property, excIu-
sive of personal effects, is valued at
$50, 600. The. colony now contains
about one hundred men, two hundred
and fifty women and girls, and two hum
dred children. In one respect, they re-
semble the Quakers-they hold to the
doctrine Of non-resistance and have of
fered no violence to tho mob.
A people such as we have described,
mainly women and children, at the mer-
cy, it seems, of an outrageous mob
We did not suppose that Illinois could
produce seventy men in any one county,
who would willingly engage in such out
RACES, and particularly, when the objects
were women and children. The sooner
they are driven from the State, the bet
ter it will be for her reputation. The
colony deserves, and should receive the
instant protection of the laws, and the
offenders should net be suffered to 90
unpublished.
According to the latest advices, the
mob had fixed the 9th inst, for the des-
truction of the village iii which the colo
nists were located, but it is hoped that
this threat will not be put into execution.
1t is certain that all appeals to the au-
thorities of the county for protection are
in vain, and they have besought the in
deposition of the State-a request which
ought not to be denied them st. Louis

FALL OF FLESH AND BLooD.-The
Fayetteville IN. c. Carolinian says:
On the 18th Of February, there fell
within one hundred yards of the resi-
dence of Thomas Clarkson, in Sampson
county, a shcwer Of flesh and blood, about
thirty feet wide and $50 or 800 yards in
length. The pieces appearedto be flesh,
liver, lights, brains and blood. Some of
the blood ran on the leaves, apparently
very fresh. There was a smell of blood,
and some of Mr.. Clarkson's children,
who first discovered it, ran to their moth
er eXclaiming ''mother, there is meat
falling" During the time it was falling
there was cloud overhead, having IL
red appearance, but there was no rain.
A piece of this flesh has been examined
with the best microscopes, and the exis-
tence Of blood well established. 1t
smells like putrid flesh.

NOVEL Observation-Disclosures of
a stir was created in Baltimore, about a
week since, by the arrival Of a. herd of
eleven Syrian camels at that port; and
every body was wondering what on
earth was to be done with such a num-
Der. We learn from a reliable source,
that Messrs. Sands & Howe, the we'll
known enterprising circus proprietors,
are about to establish an overland line
to California with them, which is to
leave independence, Missouri, direct for
San Francisco, early in June. These
gentlemen have already thirty-one cam
els in this country, and the brig Catha-
rine, Captain Gordon, now on her pas
sage from Algiers to New Orleans, has
on board twenty-five more, making in
all fifty-three, most Of which have been
selected with care as brood stock. We
are told that caravan of twenty-five or
more, Will leave each point once month,
and continue through the year. Success

THE GALPHIN CAsE.-Galphin was a
British trader with the Greek Indians
Prior to 1873, that tribe made him an
extensive grant of land, for debts due
him. He subsequently decided the land
to the State of Georgia, but never got
his pay. The State Of Georgia after
wards turned over the grant to the Unit
ed States, the government of which
agreed to pay Galphin the amount OF
consideration money due him. Nothing
however, was done, until 1913, when
Congress passed an act for the relief OF
his heirs, authorizing the payment OF
$4,000. This sum was paid, but the
attorney for the heirs, Geo. w. Craw-
ford, the present Secretary Of War, in
sisted upon the payment of the interest,
which amounted to Sl36, 600, but the
Comptroller refused to pay it. The
treaty recognizing this claim, recognize
ed others also. Both principal and in
terest were paid in liquidation of those
claims. In view of this fact, the pres
ent Attorney General gave his opinion
in favor of paying the interest, and ii
has been paid. AS. a part of this inter-
est inures to Mr.. Crawford, and as many
insinuations have been thrown out to the
intent that this decision has been OBJ
tanned in a measure through his position
as Cabinet Officer, he has demanded
an investigation by Congress. Our read
ers will now understand, by this crude
sketch of the matter, what is the history
and object Of the so called Galphin Com
mittec.
