Stole Indifference.

The Columbus (O) Statesman,
in speaking OF the respite of the mur.
derer, Myers, on the eve of bis exc
cution; says:
"The crowd assembled about the
jail at Columbus on Friday, to be
near the hanging of Myers, was large,
men, women and children, stood a
round three hours in a drizzling rain,
waiting for bis execution to come Oft.
The prisoner was to be brought from
his cell at l24 o'clock; the rope was
adjusted upon the scaffold, and the
arrangements were completed. The
Sheriff was in the act of bringing the
prisoner out to prepare him for the
drop, when the respite was received.
The announcement to the outsiders
was greeted by no cheers and 40 mur-
murs. At 2 O'Clock, the Secretary
of the Governor read the respite to
the prisoner, and asked him if he ac-
cepted or rejected it. Myers could
not at once answer such an impor-
tant question, but finally concluded
he would reject the respite, saying
that he had received his sentence and
vas ready to be hung. He evineed
no emotion whatever, and appeared to
regard the respite granted him With
the same Indifference as he did the
sentence Of the Court. The question
as to whether it was lawful and prop
er to reprieve a condemned man a.
gainst his will, underwent consider
able discussion on the streets yester-
day. The chaplain of the peniten-
tiary visited Myers cell several times,
but he maintained bis stoical indifer-
ence throughout.
So it seems that not only the
crowd assembled to witness the per-
formance, but the performer himself
was disappointed.

Term Of Life.

The English people exercise a De
gree of care and vigilance in the
collection of statistical facts, touch
lug life, health, and disease, that give:
them and the world very important
and striking conclusions. To The
calculations of longevity made in the
usaa! manner of insurance companle;
they add the fact of intemperance
and then show the difference ln hg
ures, thus:
Three hundred and ffty-seven
Incorporate persons Gle for every
one hundred and ten of temperate
habits. At twenty years of age an
Incorporate man may expect to live
Gfteep and a half years longer, while
a temperate man of the same age
NAV expect to live forty-four years
longer. AT thirty an incorporate
man will probably live fourteen years
longer; a temperate man thirty
longer. At forty an intemperate
man will ordinarily live twelve years
longer. while temperate man will
live twenty-nine years longer.

Abolilionism a Disease.

The Boston Courier expresses IL
self on the subject in this wise:
One Of the most instructive and
interesting facts in the history of
the human race is the recurrence
from time to time, Of diseased con-
ditions of the public mind, constitu-
ting moral epidemics, which infect
so ciety With moral delusiou, just as
it's physical condition is occasional.
'Iy disturbed by infectious or con-
tagious dis.empers. Whenever one
of these moral epidemics seizes
upon the public mind it becomes
morbidly sensitive on some spe-
cifc subject; it runs into the most
pitiable extravagances; it seems to
lose all sense, reason, and Judgment;
lit exhibits the symptoms of tempo
rary deliriousness. The prevailing
sentiment in the Eastern States, in
regard to the negro race, constitutes
striking illustration of these incl
lectual epidemics, and one which
| in future times will be looked back
upon with the same mingled sorrow
and amazement with which we at
this time regard the witcbcraft
mania of the old colony Of Massachu-
Setts,

Manufacture Of Combs.

The greatest comb manufactory 10
the world is in Aberdeen, Scotland.
There are thir!y-six furnaces for
preparing horns and tortoise-shelI for
the combs, and no less than one hun
dred and twenty iron screw presses
are continually going in stamping
them. Steam power is employed to
cut the combs. The coarse combs
are stamped or cut out. The fine
dressing combs and all small tooth
combs, are cut by fine circular
SAWS, some so fine as to cut forty
teeth in the space Of one inch, and
they rcvolve five thousand times in
a minute.
There are some two thousand vari-
cites OF combs made, and the aggre.
gate number produced, of all these
different sorts of combs, average
upwards Of twelve hundred gross
weekly, or about nire million &
quantity that, if laid together length
wise, would extend about seven hun.
dred miles. The annual consumption
of OK horns is about seven hundred
and thirty thousand; the annual
consumption of hoofs amounts to four
millions. A hoof undergoes eleven
distinct operations before ii becomes
a finished comb.

Can RAILROADS OBsTRUcT THE
HIGHwATs?--This question has just
been decided in the negative by the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
In the case of Patrick Kelly vs. the
Pennsylvania Railway Company, it
was lately decided that the Railway
Company was liable for damages arls'
ing from the obstruction of public
highway at crossing" by their To-
comotives, cars, etc. In this instance
the plaintiff had sent his son, a boy
nine years of age, to town for tobac'
co. On reaching the turnpike, be
attempted to creep under the defen'
dant's cars, which had .just mrluso
and ,rere standing across 1t. The
train started. and bis leg was caught
in the wheel and SO injured as to ZEN
der amputation necessary. The jury
found, by their verdict. that the de-
fendacts we're obstructiug the cross
ing, and gave for plaintiff three thou
sand dollars damages.

UNANIMITY OF JURIES.
The absurdity Of requiring unan

The absurdity Of requiring unani.
nous assent inrendering verdicts by iu-
riesis exciting much attention in Eng
land. Practically we know that this
matter is regulated by juries occa-
sionally among themselves, despite
the law, by requiring concurrence
by two-thirds vote, or in some such
proportion. A London correspon-
dent of the National Inteliigencer has
the following comment on this subject:
The law which, in England and
ireland, requires the unanimity of jju-
.ries, is at length becoming the sub
ject Of forcible comment from the ju-
dicial bench. Tn a case tried the
other day in the Court of Exchequer
eleven of the jury were agreed, and
the parties in the cause objectiDg to
take the vote of the majority, the
Court could not accept it. The Lord
Chief Baron took the opportunity of
stating that be thought it must be
lamented, considering how often per.
sors must disagree, that unanimity
was required. Considering the m.
creased intelligence of the day, it
did seem extraordinary that II gem
tlemen must be kept together till
they all agree, though they were
sworn to give their verdict according
to their couscience. 1t was much to
be regretted, that their verdicts were
not governed by a rhajofity--not a
small majority, for that would not do,
but eleven TO one, ten to two, or nine
to three. Tn reference. to the case
before him, the Chief Baron said the
old practice of locking up juries all
night--or, in other words, Of tortu-
ring them into q unanimity which
their conscience could not sanction--
bad very properly fallen into disuse:
and as there was no prospect Of theil
agreeing after four hours deliberation
be would discharge them.

FREE NEGROES, NORTH.

We have already maintained thai
free negroes enjoy a very small
share Of popularity and favor in the
Northern States. The opinion is
well sustained by Mr. VallandiDgham,
of Ohio, who recently in his contest
with the Hon. Mr.. Campbell. for a
seat in Congress, admirably shows
up their qualities:
"Sir, it is this same spurious and
mongrel race who constitute your
''free negroes North and South.
They will not be slaves, and they
are not fit for freemen. And when
this Government shall be broken up,
by the fanaticism of negro equal
ity. and the South shall have driven
out Der free negroes upon you, and
you shall have stolen away her slaves,
then your tloubles with this race,
which already has plagued America
for century, will but have begun.
They are your petty thieves now;
they do fill up your larders and
your sheep-cotes: they do ill up
your penitentiaries, and they would
Gil up your hospitals and your aims
houses, # yoa seou7d let them Then
they viii be your bighwaymen; yonr
banditti; they make up your mobs.
With just enough Of intelligence,
derived from a white ancestry, to
know, and enough of brutizhness,
inherited from the Old African stock
to avenge, in any form, the ignominy
and degradation of four thousand
years; with fetish ideas of religion
and fanatic notions of politics, they
are the sans culOtte, who, led on by
the worst of white men, will make
your revolution and overturn your
governments. Sir, such things have
already occurred in history. They
are not the baseless fabrics Of vis-
ion. No wonder The States Of the
Northwest have begun to erect con-
stitutional barriers stronger than ever
against a negro population. In oil
this there is eminent wisdom and a
statosmanlike foresight"

WHAT Cigars ARE MADE oF.--An
invoice of foreign cigars, "red Havan.
as, were recently appraised at the
New York custom house at g pei
thousand, but the importer being dis.
satisfied, new appraisement was
made, which resulted in the admis.
sion of the cigars at 81 so pei
thousand. The evidence, under
oath, by which the appraisement
was made was this: That not par.
ticle of tobacco entered into the
composition Of said cigars, but that
they were wholly composed of oak
and other leaves soaked in strong
tobacco lye.

"CANARD."

! This word,now popularly used for a
hoax, is French for duck, and the orr
gin of its new application is said
to be the following amusing "sell''
on the public:
"To give a sly lift to the ridicu-
lous piece of intelligence which the
journals are in the habit of publish
ing every morning, Cornelissen sta
ted that an interesting experiment
aad just been made, calculated to
prove the extraordinary voracity of
ducks. Twenty Of these animals
had been placed together, and one
of them having been killed and cut
up into the smallest possible pieces,
feathers and all, and thrown to the
other nineteen, had been gluttonous.
ly gobbled up in an exceedingly
brief space of time. Another was
taken from the remaining nineteen,
and being chopped small, like its
predecessor, was served up to the
eighteeo, and at once devoured like
the other, and SO on to the last, who
was thus placed in the remarkable
position of having eaten his nineteen
iu a wonderfully short
timer All this, most pleasantly
narrated, obtained a success which
the writer was far from anticipating,
for the story ran the rounds CT all
the journals in Europe. 1t then
became almost forgotten for about
a score of years, when it came
back from America, With amplifica-
ton, which it did not boast OF at
the commencement; anc With reg
ular certificate Of the autopsy Of
the bod, of the surviving animal,
whose asophogus was declared to
have been found seriously injured!
Every one laughed at the history
of the canard thus brought up again,
but the word retains its novel signi-
fication."
