GarYOfEEg.

Newly orkers have had occasion, during
the last month, to become somewhat famil-
lar with gaFroting and garroters--terms
which found their way into the London
nomenclature Of crime, some eighteen
months or two years ago. Garroting
seems to mean little less than modern
highway robbery, for it is used Of all sud
den attacks in the street. The garroter is
the city footpad Of the nineteenth century.
The name is, however, obviously derived
from the process of throttliag; in use in
place Of the gallows in Spain, and which
has been initiated to a great extent here, as
well as on the other side of the water,
to quote from letter of the Chaplain OF
the Pentonville Prison, Published in the
Lo@don Times Of the 3rd ult.: ''The gar
rote robbers usually work in gang, which
consists generally Of three persons. The
taIlest and most muscular comes behind the
intended victim, and rapidly throwing his
arms (which are usually fitted with piece
jof wood near the elbow TO facil late the
proeess) around the neck, presses the
throat almost to strangulation. The 9th
ers rifle the pockets and otherwise assist

SHAM DEMOCRACY HYPocRAcy UNMAsK-
ED.-Durins the late campaign the demo
cratic politicians were ferocious in their at
tacks upon Know Nothingism. Since the
election however, their intense animosity
toward the ''Amerieans" seems to have
subsided, as has also their affection for the
foreign born" One Of the latest instan-
ces of their want of constancy, is, the action
Iof the South Carolina Legislature. This
lstaunch Democratic State, the home OF
Bailey Brooks, the leader Of the Border
Rufianism Democracy, has just adopted an
amendment to her constitution, precludng
foreigners from voting until taco gears after
they are naturalized. viii some Of our
democratic editors who profess such hor-
ror of might lights that they retire for
the night in the dark, clear up this incon-

Music IN ScHooLg.-at the recent meet
ing of the Board of Education of New York
City, VIM. CULLEN BRYANT Of the N. Y.
Eve. Post, wrote a capital speech upon
the subject of sMusic in Schools" from
which we make the following extract:
In making music branch of common
education, we give new attraction to our
common schools. Music is not merely a
istudy, it is an entertainment; wherever
there is music there is crowd of listeners
We complain that our common schools are
not attended as they ought to be. What
is to be done? Shall we COMPEL the at
tendance of children? Rather let us, if we
can so order things that children shall at
tend yoluntarialy-shall be eager to crowd
to the schools; and for this purpose nothing
can be more effectual, it teens to me, that
the art to which the ancients ascribe such
that, power according to the fables Of their
boets, it drew the very stones Of the cart from
their beds and piled them in q wall around
the city Of Thebes.
It should be considered, moreover, that
music in schools is useful as an incentive to
study. After weary hour of porting over
books, with perhaps some Encouragement
on the part Of the learner if not despair at
the hardness of his task, a song puts him in
a more cheerful and hopeful mood; the
play of the lungs freshens the circulation of
the blood and he sits down again to his
task in better spirits and with an invigora-
fed mind. Almost all occupations are
cheered and lightened by music. l re-
member once being in tobacco nanufac-
tory in Virginia, where the work was per
formed by slaves who enliyened their tasks
with outbunsts Of psalmody. "Wee ncour-
age their singing" said one Of the propfie-
tors; "they work the better for it," Sail
ors pull more vigorously at the rope for
their "Yo, heaVe, ho," which is kind of
song. ! have heard the vine dressers in
Tuscany, on the hill sides, responding to
each other in songs, with which the Whole
region resounded, and which turned their
hard days work into pastiine.

Political TeRacEty.

Under this head the North Pepin indie
pendent "gets off, good thing, being the
subsistence Of an anecdote related at steam
boat speech by some politician.
At certain public meeting, fhe orator
was prououncing an eulogy upon the char
acter of Washington. He spoke of 1.-THE
Father of his Country" in terms of the
highes: praise, and said that ''if he was
yet on earth, and again a candidate for
the chief magistracy of our Union, such
would be the perfect trust of men of all pc
litical creeds in his integrity, that he would
receive the unanimous vote of the Union. =
At that moment he happened to cast bis
eve upon an odd man in the audience, who
had once been soldier in Washingten's ar
my. He was looking the speaker full IN
the face, ara the tears running down his
cheek, betokened deep feeling. The
speaker paused a moment, and then as if
wishing to rivet bis assertion, he addressed
the old veteran thus: s.And you my aged
friend, who cannot, even now, hear the
name of your beloved chieftain. without e.
vincing deep emotion, you would vote for
your old commander, would YOU not!
An expression of stern determination
passed over the countenance of the old man,
and starting to his feet he said:
