The remains of human body, horribly mangled
and cut up, Were found secreted under one of the
wharves at New Orleans, on the 18th inst. The re-
mains Were disposed in a box, the legs were cut and
doubled up and the head severed from the BODY
Two holes were found in the back part of the skull
reaching the brain, and probably the of death
1t was supposed to be the body of returned Cafor-
MAN, who had been murdered for his money.
This was most curious case. The two
holes in the skull are represented to have
been very small, and the jury were of opin-
ion that death was produced by puneture
with fine instrument that penetrated the
brain. The more rational conclusion would
have been, that the holes were made by shots.
In the report of the case there was no testi-
mony going to show that the remains were
those of returned Californian and yet the
conclusion was arrived at that they were the
relics of such an individual Whether there
is anything in the skull and cross bones of a
Californian differing from the anatomy of 9TH
er human skeletons we do not know.

Relating upon their sheep, their poultry yards, grain
fields, &C., that they have been driven to seek some
relief by scattering poisoned meat over their Pren-
SEES stychnine is very fatal poison, and this is the
agent, we are informed, which has been profusely
scattered for the object sought to be accomplished
Hunters and owners of dogs would. therefTe, do
well to bear this caution in mind If they set any value
upon their dogs.
The gentleman who gave this information, stated
that he had recently lost flock Of Sheep and not less
than fifty bushels wheat by the visits OF dogs from

The CASE OF EDYMoIN.-We stated day or
two since, that the convict of the New York State
Prison, at Auburn, who had forged his way out of
confinement and had been re-arrested was brought
before court upon writ of habeas corpus, and that
there was good deal of interest felt to what
disposition would be made of him. Ii will be rel
membered that Francis B. Edymoin, (the name of
the convict aforesaid) was set at liberty under a
warrant from the Governor of the State which
warrant was granted upon the strength of recon-
mendations for his discharge purporting to be-
signed by all the officers of the prison. The names
of these officers it was soon ascertained were all
forged to the paper by Edynoin himself He was
thereupon Immediately brought back and imprison-
ed again. And now he is brought before court nm.
on the aforesaid writ of ha5eas corpus TO ascertain
by what authority he is held in custody. 1t is As
sumed that the warrant upon which he was dis
charged was genuine, and cannot be invalidated by
the forgery OF the recommendation upon which
the warrant was granted; and therefore. that his
re-arfest and imprisonment were without authority
ana contrary to law. AT the threshold of this pro-
ceeolnS' by habeas corpus, difficulty was presen-
ted by the fact that the warrant of DISCHARGE was
In the name of Edynloire; but this obstacle yuas
removed by the testimony of Mr.. Randall the 60.
cfetary OF State, who testified that the Governor
ordered the release of Edymoin; but that in writing
lhe warrant the clerk made the mistake of writing
Ednnoire
Win regard to the matter of the name of the
criminal, the following amusing examination of

BS@ From a message of the Mayor of
New Orleans, published in New Orleans
papers of the 18th inst, We gather the fol-
lowing statistics with reference to the pub
lie schools of that city. There are 40 public
school houses in the city, attended by
1886 pupils. In the First District there
are ID school houses, with 27O5 pupils; in
the Second, 9 school houses, with 1874
pupils; in the Third, 10 school houses, with
1S44pupils; in the Fourth, school houses,
with 24S1 pupils. The average increase in
the number of pupils within twelve months
has been 1904, equal to % 90 per cent.
Of the 40 school houses, II belong to the
city and % are rented. The number ofthe
teachers employed is I'll. The amount
appropriated for the support of the school
last year was 1913, 900; 100000 is the
estimate for the current year.

EDITORIAL L1FE.-The following remarks
of DR.. johnson, give an answer to many
complaints of the people of the present day:
81 know no class of the community from
whom so much disinterested benevolence
and thankless labor are expected as from
editors of newspapers. They are expected
to feel for every one but themselves; to
correct public abuses and private ones also,
without giving offence; sustain difficulties
of others, without regard to their own; to
condemn improper measures of every one,
and not do one at the same time. They are
expected to note every thing that is i'm
portant or extraordinary in mems opinions;
their notices must be calculated to please
every one, and at the same time to offend
none"

the lieutenant:
81 have two ducks AMI turkey in my

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
4 AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig,)
The North British Review, free Church.
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory.)
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American Pc
riodicals of a similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics aid Magazines made up
Of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, aud affords guarantee
that they are established on firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, vet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their.
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains it's ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables. written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as " The Caxtons" and "My New Novel"
both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
q" The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages Of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of those fascinating tales.
Isp Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid, to
