CHARAcTERIsTIcs OF AUDIENCES.
are very; amusingly gossiped about by Dr.
Holmes, in the last number of the Atlantic
Monthly. The funny doctor thus relieves his
mind
ga new lecture has always a certain excite
ment connected with its delivery. One thinks
well of it MS of most things fresh from his mind.
After few deliveries of it, one gets tired and
then disguised with Its repetition. Go on de-
livering it, and the disgust passes off, until at
ter one has repeated it hundred hundred
and fifty times, he rather enjoys the hundred
and first or hundred and fifty-ti time, before
a new audience But this is on one condition
that he never lays the lecture down and lets it
cool. If he does, there comes on loathing for
it which is intense, so that the sight of the old
battered manuscript is as bad as seasickness."
He goes on to speak of audiences as follows:
''Two lvceum assemblies, offive hundred each,
are SO nearly alike that, they are so absolutely
undistinguishable in many cases by any def
mite mark, and there is nothing but the place
and time by which one can tell the remarkably
intelligent audience of n town in New York or
Ohio from one in any New England town of II
similar size. One knows pretty well even the
look the audience will have before he goes in

with their vacuous eyes and stony lincanents

The doctor pursues the subject thus:
"Out ofall these inevitable elements the au-
dience is generated-a great compound verte-
brate, as much like fifty others you have seen
as any two animals Of the same species are like
each other. Each audience laughs and each
cries in just the same places of your lecture !;
that is, if you make one laugh or cry, you make
all. Even those little movements which lee

Six LAP PAssRNGERs.-On Saturday last, the
Rochester Union learns from the conductor of a
train from Syracuse, found leaving the for
mer place. that two seats were closely filled by a
woman and six children. The lady produced
but one ticket, and assured the conductor that
all her little family were under six years of age,
and therefore not chargeable with fare by the
rules of the company. He stared some, hut on
"a close examination of the little boys and girls,
he became convinced that the oldest could not
be seven years old. and he let them all pass as
dead heads or lap passengers.

SHALL WE HAVE a BANKRUPT Law ?-The Jul
dietary Committee of the U. S. Senate has been
discussing the subject OF Bankrupt Law. The
Committee has not determined to report bill,
but has taken several votes on the details Of n
draft proposed by Mr. Toonbs The bill, if
agreed on, will be confined to traders, and will
include corporations other than municipal Up
on the question whether the act should apply to
parties who may voluntarily go into bankruptcy,
or shall be compulsory upon the demand of
creditors, the Committee was equally divided
These motions have been made in Committee to
test its sense upon the principles of the meas
ure, The preparation of the bill is confided to
AR. Toombs.
There has been much talk lately about 3
Bankrupt Law, demanded by the financial cris-
is through which our country has just passed.
many being placed in straits from which they
cannot extricate themselves without legal relief
1t is thought by many, that it would be well to
have permanent National Bankrupt Law, one
which shall operate justly for both creditor and
debtor. The business of the country viii then
be conducted on sounder basis, and we shall
steer clear of those crises which are so marked
feature in our commercial history. and which
do us great discredit 1t is at best an nnwise
policy not to do what we can TO restrain that
desire for trading beyond ones means, which
particularly cllaracterizes our countrymen.

SOUTHERN CRoPs-The Baltimore Patriot
says of the crop prospects:
Our advices from all parts of the country,
and especially throughout Maryland, are, thus
far, exceedingly favorable to the spring crops.
Vegetation is farther advanced than usual Tho
wheat crop has encountered no injury from the
past winter. 1t is thickly set and very promis-
| ing There are also cheerful indications of II
plentiful supply of fruit. The trees have, up to
this time, escaped injury from the frost 1t is
rather early to make certain calculation, but
from all can learn, prospects of an abundant
harvest are unusually hopeful.
| The Austin Crexas) IRteliigeneer, of the
26th ult, speaks joyously of crop prospects,
1t says:
We receive the most encouraging accounts of
the wheat crop everywhere. The fields all along
the road from Austin to Red River are indies
cribably beautiful. So far as the rains go the
wheat is now safe, the ground being so tho
roughly wet. The only danger is from FROST
The corn is coming forward beautifully, and
the peach trees are loaded with fruit. No coun-
try ever looked more inviting than Texas at
present
We have recently passed through four coun-
ties in East Tennessee, Says the Knoxville
IVhig,) and we were somewhat particular to no.
tice the prospect for wheat the coming harvest.
The prospects are cheering in the highest de-
gree, and while the quality of the Young wheat
is so very good and promising, the quantity
promises yield never before realized, should
the season he favorable.
The appearance of the wheat crop, (says the
Atlanta LMtetti9encCr,) in Tennessee, and Che
rokce county, Georgia, we are assured by sever
al gentlemen who have paid much attention to
it, is remarkably fine, and giving promise of
an abundant harvest. If no mis- ap bcialls
it, the crop must exceed that of al,t previous
year.

SCENES AT AN ExEcU7IoN.-The Philadelphia
Press records the following incidents of the exc
cution of Anderson and Richards at Lancaster,
Pa. 1t says:
The morbid curiosity to see the execution was
intense No houses within the vicinity of the
Jail were high enough to overlook the walls, but
some Yankees had erected platform on two or
three tree tops, capable of accommodating some
hundreds of spectators. This stand was rented
out 10 curious individuals Mt II dollar head, and,
long before the hour of execution, was crowded
to excess by number of males, and small
number of females. One or two other rickety
contrivances were erected, and rented out ut
exorbitant prices. The yard Leading to the main
entrance was crowded by large number of
spectators, eagerly peerng through the iron
gratings. The night previous to the execution
both convicts received the holy communion.
Anderson was awake all night, engaged in de-
votional exercises; but Richards slept title
In the morning they dressed themselves for their
execution, Anderson in white pants and plain
white shirt, aud Richards in white pants, shirt
and white roundabout, with white gloves.
An affecting scene occurred during the morn
| ing, which drew tears from the eyes of many a
stern, strong man This was AndersOn's last
meeting with his wife and family.

sEwAnD.-The Republican Magnus Apollo,
thus rouses the pen and the bile of the Wash
ngtnn correspondent of the n. o. Delta:
81 have passion for Seward. He comes up
to my idea of Rodin in the Wandering Jew-the
most delectable devil that was ever drawn by
human pen-so cool, SO clear headed, so relent-
less in the pursuit of his tiendish purposes Sc
ward traverses the seemingly tortuous but real
y straight line of his ambition with the uner-
ring certainty of footsteps that characterizes q
lrope,dancer never missing step, and keeping
his eagle-oye steadily fixed on the goal before
him."
Suppose Mr. Seward should wander into the
Presidential chair some of these days; just as
likely as not, the fellow who howls this way
abont him, would be Sue.ing for some appoint
meut. In fact, the seribbIer does throw out
an anchor to windward, thus:
''lf no becomes our next President and dis
union does not Immediately follow his election,
l will wager that he will 50 beautifully honey
fuggle both South and North, that the people
will pronounce him one of the best presidents
we have ever had"
Oh most consistent correspondent The most
delectable devil in the world and yet likely to
make the best President we ever had! Pray do
you Judge him by Mr.. Buchanan

Cor. BENroN's EsrArE-A Washington letter
in the N, Y. Tribune, under date of April l4th,
contains the following:
Col. Benton Contrary to the general opinion
of his means) has died poor. Some time since
his house, on . street, was burned down, and
he went to the expense of having it rebuilt; but
there is n mortgage of $780, 900 on it. which will
almost absorb the value of the property. Col.
Benton was anxious that Congress should pur-
chase 1000 copies of his Abridgement of the
Congressional debates, for distribution among
the various State libraries and foreign exchan-
ges. He was of opinion that such purchase
would be constitutional, and would tend to diff
fuse knowledge of the political history of the
country. Two members of the House of Rep.
resentatives have the matter under consdera-
ton, by his request, and will bring it, at an ear
| ly day, before Congress- with, as they think,
good assurances ofsuccess.

New YORK INIQUITY.-Another establishment
for the publication of obscene literature was
broken up in New York City few days since
Circulars, containing plates and catalogues of
books, were sent all through the interior ofNew
York State, purporting to be from the firm of
Gillen & Co. Complaints of it were made to
the Superintendent of Police in New York, who
having started his detectives upon the track, mr.
rested a man named Thomas Ormsby. The
latter was the secret manager of the affair, Gill
len & Co. being mythical. All the books,
plates, circulars etc, were seized at his house
in Nassau street batch of letters was also
captured, being from citizens of high position
in the rural districts, sending orders for books
This is the second concern of the kind broken
up within short period in New York City.

The FLOOD IN THE MIssIssIPPL-Our readers
have already been Informed, by dispatches
which we have published, of the destruction of
property by the food in the Mississippi river
We learn that the river, with few exceptions
covered the county on both sides of it, all the
way from the mouth of Lake Providence to
Memphis-a distance of several hundred miles.
People were seen in the upper stories of houses,
while the lower stories were filled with water
Cattle were standing half submerged, while dogs
were resting on logs. In villages people were
passing in boats, and moving their effects to pia-
ces of greater safety. Even deer had been dis
lodged from their coverts, and were seen swim
ming in the Mississippi. One fine specimen was
taken while swimming across the river. This
flood is said to be without precedent since the
year 1874, and at many points it is said to be
greater than it. The extent of its damage and
destruction of property cannot probably be
known until the inundation has partially subsi-
ded, communication with many points having
been interrupted, or entirely cut of.
