PUBLIC WHIPPING IN SOUTH CAROLINA
inhiction of the punishment Of public whipping
upon two white men on Monday, says the
Charleston Mercury, reminds us to renew our
protest against the continuance of this mode of
punishment We believe that vast majority
of the people Of the State feel that this penalty,
as it is now inflicted, is an evil and ought
in some way to be changed. The public ex-
hibtion is one which no man can ever witness
without feeling that its effect must be demor-
alizing

There is sect in Russia called Malakani, or
Millenarians. Their leader and founder was
Terenti, who pretended that he was sent foom
God, snd was the prophet Elias. He announced
in 1888 that the Lord would appear in two years
and half, and fixed the day when he himself,
like Elijah, should be carried up to heaven in
chariot of fire. The momens arriyed, and
thousands of his followers came from all parts
of Russia to witness the miracle. Terenti ap-
peared, majestically seated upon q chariot or
dered the multitude to PROSTATE themselves,
and then opening his arms like an eagle spread
ing his wings, he leapt into the air. The poor
prophet fell heavily, and bruised an old woman
who was near his car. The Mslskani, irritated
at having been duped, seized Terenti and de-
livered him to the police, who cast him into
prison, where he persisted in declaring himself
the prophet Of God. He died soon after, but
many still believe in his divine mission.

A GREEN YANKEE.-The editor of the Knick-

a specimen of green Yankee who came down
the Sound in Hartford steamer with me-
He had never been to York before, and he
was asking questions Of eYerybo on board the
boat.
However, if he was ssgreen as grass he was
picking up good deal of Information, which
will doubtless stand him in good stead hereafter.
One of his comparisons struck me as decidedly
original:
g Up to Northampton said he, 81 took
breakfast, and they taxed me teH shillin's!
Twas pooty good price, but gin it to 'em.
Twas enough, any way. Well, when l came
down to Hartford, I took breakfast agin. next
morning, and when asked 'em how much, they
looked st me and said half a dollar. l looked
back at 'em pooty sharp--bpt paid it: ! sot
down, and cphered up inside how much itWould
cost a fellow to board long at that rate; and I
tell you what, pooty soon found eout that fore

ANECDoTE OF THE New CHAPLA1N.---The Rev.
Henry Clay Dean, the present Chaplain to the
United States Senate, was some years ago O.
resident Of Northwestern Virginia. While
preaching one day at church situated few
miles from Fairmount, he was annoyed by the
inattention Of his congregation as manifested in
turning tner heads to see @ everybody who
to preach when thus interrupted. Now, do you
listen to me, and ! will tell you the name of
every man as he enters the church, Of course
the remark attracted universal attention. Pre-
sently some one enterad: &c Brother William
Satter6eld!" called out the preacher, while
that "brother was astonished hey ond measure,
and endeavored in vain to guess what was the
matter. Another person came in: Brother
Joseph Miller!" bawled the preacher with B.
like result; and so perhaps in other cases. AZ

hearing the preacher call out in loud voice:

hat on! Don't know who he is! You may look

During the lstter portion Of his Life Hope
grew immensely fat. He wss hardly able 20
walk, and suffered all the agonies Of the fss
rnan-agosies such as are described by Punchs
fas policeman. He died very suddenly Of an
apopleetic stroke, leaving his debts and the
remnant Of his wealth to an adopted son. His
mistress, or the person known 10 society aa his
mistress, was lady Of great beauty and 9
viscountess. She occupied . neat little hotel
contiguous to his residence. Living under his
own roof was another person possessed also Of
superior charms. She was 3 kind Of suItana--

feasts Of pleasure aud marshalled the goddesses
who attended entertainments Of which he per-
mitted none but himself the enjoyment. She
was handsomely provided for after his death,
and may be seen daily in her little equipage
upon the public promenades.
Pleasure in this hotel appears to have been
conducted with the system and regularity OBJ

g TRATTNG !" THE MAR5HAL.-So:ne years ago,
when preachers were scarce and Sons of Tenn
perance were still scarcer in the Far West, it
happened that Sunday was day set apart
especially, by common consent, NOT as q day Of
fasting and prayer, but as day of dissipation
and fighting, in certain village among the
diggins Of Iowa. To put o atop to this the
City Fathers passed an ordinance shutting up
all the groceries within the corporation limits.
To enforce this ordinance more efeetualIy, they
made it the positive duty Of the City Marshal
to 60 round on Sunday morning and shut mp
such doggeries as might not have the fear Of
the Lord and the City Fathers before them.
Among others who kept one Of those prescribed
but popular places was very humorous Irish
man, whose name, as Q matter Of course, was
Pat.
!, One fine bright Sunday morning, the City
Marshal, a good clever fellow, whom we shall
call Phil, armed with big stick as his insignia
Of Office, was parading by as pompously as ever
any Marshal Of France fourished his baton Of
Office. Now it 50 happened, Pat was enjoying
the morning as Phil WAS passing by his shop.
Pat more than suspected that the City Marshal
was Of seasy virtue as to this particular duty
Of his Office. and what added to his suspicion was
the fact, that he was seldom known TO refuse
Q glass Of pure Cincinnati eye-Water.' So he
determined to put him to the test, and see Of
| what kind OF staff he was made Stopping him
| abruptly, he says
Come in Phil, and I'll trate you
Phil stopped, looked all round to zee il any
body was about, and finally popped in to take
little BY way Of easing his Conscience for being
| compelled to break the Sabbath in the discharge
Of his official duties. As soon as he was in, and
the door fastened securely, Pat walked inside
the bar, took down the bottle Of double dis
titled and rectifed,' and setting glass on the
counter, filled it about two full and drank
it off himself, and then coolly replacing the
bottle and glass, he was about coming out, when
| Phil, who had been wondering when his turn
| would come, rather inquiringly remarked
i thought you would trate me, if / came in =
