Original Sin.-In one of John Adams's let
ters to his wife, is the following remark on ori.
ginal sin:
"Why," says the doctor, Il satisfy myself
about it in this manner. Ifit is divisable, every
descendant of Adam and Eve must have part,
and the share which falls to each individual at
this day is so small particle that :hink it is
not worth considering. IF indivisable, then the
whole quantity must have descended in right
line, and must now be possessed by one per-
son only; and the chances are millions and
millions to one, that that person is new in Asia
or Africa, and that have nothing to do with it,"

Beautiful Experiment.

1t has long been known to physiolo-
gists, that certain eoloring matters, If ad-
mnistered to animal along with their
food, possessed the property of entering
into the system and tinging the bones.--
In this way the bones of swine have heen
tinged purple by madder, and instances
are on record of other animals being
similarly affected. No attempt, however,
was made to turn this beautiful discovery
to account until lately, when NJ. Roulin
speculated on what might be the conse-
quence of administering colored articles
of food to silk-worms just before they be-
gin spinning their cocoons. His first ex-
periments were conducted with indigo,
which he mixed in certain proportions,
with mulberry leaves, serving the worms
for food. The result of this treatment
was successful; he obtained blue cocoons.
Prosecuting still further his experiments,
he sought red coloring matter capable
of being eaten by silk-worms without in
jury resulting, He had some difficulty
to find such coloring matter at first, but
eventually lighted on the BtgnonlS chict,
Small portions of this plant having been
added to the mulberry leaves, the silk
worms consumed the mixture, and pro-
duced red-colored silk. In this manner
the experimenter, who is still prosecuting
his researches, hopes to obtain silk of
many other colors.

to whom Belanger made his dying de-
claration in regard to the Dauphin. She
IS well known to DR.. Hawkes. having been a
member ofhiS church when he was settled in
New Orleans. She says that she has in
her possession, a trunk full of documents
relating to this question, communications
from the royal family, which sets the
matter entirely at rest, and proves the Rev.
Mr. Williams to be Dauphin beyond cayil.
An agent has been sent to New Orleans
to obtain possession of the documents
These facts were stated to US by GEN
tleman who has been closely connected
with this matter from the beginning, and
if they are facts, we hope the documents
will be hurried up as soon as possible,

FRIGHTFUL SITUATION UNDER RAIL,
ROAD CARs.-John Millspaugh lately
had a hair breadth escape On the Buffalo,
Falls and Rochester Railroad. He had
taken passage on the cars at Lockport
or Albion, \. Y, and was about step
ping on the rear car of the train, when
he slipped and fell between the rails. At
the same instant the cars were backed
and thc entire train passed over him; and
hardly had the locomotive cleared him
before the motion was reversed, aud a
gain the train passed over his PROSTATE
body. Fortunately, the SPOT where he
lay was unusually daprcSscd-so much SO
that the caIs passed over him without
touching, the catcher merely brushing
him. We do not envy the sensations he
must have experienced while speculating
as to the probability of being crushed BY

The British Election Bribery,

According to the London Times, all
parties in England agree that at no per-
iod, since the extension Of the suffrage,
has there existed corruption so wide spread
and SO shameless as at the late election.
1t is stated that the charges more par
ticularly affect the legality of the seats
held by one hundred different members
of the house OF commons, to unseat whom
attempts are in progress by means of in
vestigations, and some forty or fifty com
mittees of the House are now engaged in
ferretting out the details. From the rev.
elations made before these committees, it
appears that the average price of voter
at the late election was about forty shil-
lings. In the town Of Hull, large COM
mercial seaport, fully one-fourth Of the
voters were bribed. Occasionally Offices or
government favors are given, but the genu-
inc money bribe Isl the usual form of the
corruption, and the common device is for
the voter to extend his hand behind his
back, among the agents of the candidates
to be voted for, SO as not to know who
gives the money, and thus evade the stat
ute.

The Berlin police haze just done a
smart thing. A jew, occupying an old
dilapidated house in an obscure street,
and suspected as a receiver ofstolen goods,
was secretely arrested during the night,
and carried of to prison. His shop, how
ever, the police opened next morning, as
usual, and policeman, disguised as a
Jew, took up his position behind the
counter, while several others secreted
themselves in the cellar. 1t was not long
before customers began to make their ap-
pearance. They were politely requested
to step into the cellar, where the owner
of the store was busy, and would make
the trade. There the unsuspecting GUS
toners were seized, dagged, and hand
cufed, and kept till they could be con-
veyed at night, unobscryed, to prison.--
BY this stratagem, the police succeeded
in entraping not only the chief proIes-
sional thieves, but with full evidence "a
gainst them, and also several servants
who were in the habit of robbing their
masters.
