TOM BENTON.-The probability is, that
this man will have TO retire from the U. S. Sen
ate in very short space of time. His morbid
desire for ACCOMPLISHMENT, is living exemplif-
cation Of that "vauIting ambition that DER leaps
itself" He had fully counted the cost when he
came to the conclusion to sell himself to the
Free Sellers. He doubtless expected their aid,
in his future aspirations for power; but if we are
not mistaken in our estimate, they will hardly
"pay the price of the purchase money )" and he
will yet retire, if he is not driven from office,
an ambitious and disappointed man.
He had carefully laid his plans and patiently
pursued his object, until his goal seemed almost
within his reach when by bold, but ill-timed
push, he destroyed the hopes of forty years build
ing, and will leave to posterity the brand of
treason upon his name. Treason, compared
with which, that of Arnold was virtue. Ar
mold had fought bravely for country that had
wronged him, and writing under sense of his
WRONGS he was driven almost to madness, and
in fit OF desperation, betrayed his county,
Benton, ON the other hand had been beloved and
caressed by his party and the South but in the
moment Of their most imminent peril, he for
sock their standard and went over to the enemy.
For which traitorous act, posterity holds in
wait for him rich inheritance of infamy.

HUMAN SACRIFICES IN INDIA.

There lisa terocious tribe of natives inhabitng
Gosmoor in Bengal, called Khonds. The earth
goddess one among the multitude they worship,
can be propitiated, as they believe only by flesh
and blood. The miserable victims are purchased
on false pretences, or kidnapped from the poor
est classes of Hindoos in the low country
These are often children, great numbers Of
whom are kept on hand in reserve as they shall
be wanted At the time appointed for the ga
crlf1ce, the victim is bound to stake, and after
scenes OF the most revolving drunken and OBJ
scene Introductory services, at an appointed sig
nal the bones are broken, after which the pro-
mlscnous crowd rush, with maddenng fury, up
on the sacrifice, wildly exclaiming: awe
bought you with price, and no sin rests upon
U.s." Then they cut his flesh in pieces from
the bones Thus the horrid rite is contaminated
Each man then bears away his bloody shreds to
his field, leaving them there as an acceptable
offering, in favor of their fertility, to the bloody
goddess
The British Government has acted with great
energy against this dreadful custom. In Janua-
ry, 1916, their agent by an armed force, rescued
one hundred and six of these devoted victims
great sacrifice had been determined on, in an
tlclpatlon OF his coming but he appeared among
them suddenly, twelve days before the appoint
ed time, and stayed the bloody work. Under
date OF February, 1850, We learn that up to jan
uary 81, one hundred and forty three victims
had been rescued by young British officer, by
the name Of Frye. At later date we learn
he had rescued one hundred and fifty victims,
in addition to the one hundred and forty three
previously rescued. The British Government
are awake to the dredful evil, and no pains will
be spared to cause its entire cessation. Some of
these rescued victims have received Christian
education in the schools of the English Baptist
Mission at Orissa and promise great usefulness
to their benighted counlrymen.

THE EFFECTS OF SHOT ON THE FIELD
OF BATTLE.

You can form no idea of the storm of balls
and shells which crossed each other in their
dread course. Before and around the spot on
which Field Marshal Radeski was standing, the
heavy sixteen pound shots plouehed up the
ground tracing In one place deep furrow, and
cutting down a tree like sluhbe III another. 1t
is remarkable how each kind of missile has it's
own characteristic. There is the trernulous
howl Of the round large shot, the whistle of the
musket ball, the hiss of the shell, like that of
the Catherine wheel fre-work, and then its de-
tonation as it bursts. Of these last, many
which fell amongst us missed fire, and many
exploded harmless in the air; but where one
fell and did its office, the effect was fearful
One such struck an officer in the breast, explo.
ded at that instance, struck down man at the
night and left, and cut off the upper part Of the
officers body in such fashion that his fright
ened horse galloped off some distance with the
feet of the corpse in the stirrups, Such are the
spectacles which field of battle occasionally
presents.
Not far off laid Piedmentese artillerist who
had been struck on the forehead by spent six
pound shot, which remain ed in the Wound
An hussar had been killed at the same instant
with his horse, by shot which had passed
through the neck of the latter they had sank to-
gether the rider still in the saddle. and
sabre still in his hand. The sudden collapse of
man In FULL vlgor Is what ls most fearful 10 be-
hold. One sinks withouta groan, another jumps
high from the ground with shrek, falls over,
lies stiff, and is dead. | saw GRANGER from
the Banat, with a ball in his forehead falter a
few PAGES, lean ON his musket like drunken
man, and then, after faint whisper about his
home, expire. Over the town the cannon smoke
had spread colossal canopy, which hoated
motioness above the roofs like the crown of the
Italian Pine Trees.

ORIGINAL AND THUE.

Mr. Franklin -, who was gentleman of
good qualities and infinite good hunor, used
with much pleasantly to relate the following an
ecdote as having occurred to himself when a
young man. A young lady in the neighbour
hood had won his affections, and he had COM
menced paying his addresses. During the court
ship he sometimes supped with the lady's fam-
ly, when he was always RECALLED with homely
dish of mush and milk, and being of a serious
turn was generally invited to say grace over the
meal The supper did not taste amiss, as the
family of the fair one was in moderate circum-
stances, and being himself poor he admired such
domestic economy besides, he was satisfied,
provided he could see his fair du!cinea. "The
course of true love-" it is said, "never runs
SMOOTH" and Frank CHANGED to have rival
much richer than himself. Que evening when
he was visiting his charmeI, after the board had
been spread with the frugal meal Of mush and
milk, but before the family had taken their seats
at the table, some one spied Franks rival riding
up. Immediately change came Ger the SUBJ
s.antial meal. As if by magic, the table was
cleared Of its load, and naueht remained to tell
the tale but the clean white cloth. In short
time, however, the table was again furnished,
not as before, but with the suitable appendages
for making tea and with warm bread, such as
is hastily baked, and in common parlance call
ed ''short cake" When all was ready, as was
the custom, Brother A - was invited to say
grace who with cue solemnity, hands folded
and eyes closed, pronounced the following ben
ediction:
