A PREDIcrIoN.-The New York Evening
Post calls attention to a curious prediction in
the autobiography of Bishop Watson, penned
some fifty years ago, which recent events es-
pecially the great event of the last year-the
treaty with China and the firmer establish.
ment of British rule in India-seem not un.
likely in some degree to accomplish:
"The empire of Russia is emerging from
barbarism, and when it has acquired stabili.
ty and strength answering to its extent, it will
enlarge its borders, and casting an ambitious
eye on Thibet, China, and Japan, may intro
duce with its commerce Christianity into those
countries. India will be Christianised by
Great Britain. Thus Christian monarchs who
aim at nothing but an increase of their tempo
raj Kingdoms may become, by the providence
Of God, unconscious instruments in propagat
ing the spiritual kingdom of His Son."

jumped from car of an inward bound Wor-

brought up against an earth bank where he
lay short time with bruised leg, a wrench
ed arm, a sprained back, pantaloons well ven
tilated, and coat minus a sleeve. The next
time he rides in a railroad car it is quite proba-
BILE that he will wait until the train reaches the

THE CALAMITY OF SLAvEHoLDERs.-The
Commercial Advertiser, speaking of the con-
duct of Mr.. Lamar, the owner of the Wander
err, gives the following new illustration of the
hospitality and gallantry of the chivalry of the
whip. brand, and coffle:
"a married lady resident in the neighboring
city of Brooklyn, whose name was mentioned
in the narrative given to us, has been spending
the Winter at hotel in Akin, South Carroll
ma, in company with sick daughter. who re-
quired mild climate. A few weeks ago she
wrote to a brother residing in the western part
of this State, and in the course of the letter,
spoke Of the evils of slavery, as she saw them
around her. This letter was published, and
some one sent copy of the paper to the Post
master at Akin. A public meeting was i'm
mediately called, and a committee appointed
to ferret out the writer. A Northern gentle
man who, as an invalid, happened also to be at
the hotel, was suspected, and was threatened
with lynch law if he did not confess. AS, of
course, he could only persist in denial, he
would probably have suffered accordingly, had
not the lady nobly come forward to exonerate
him by acknowledging the letter as her own,
affirming, at the same time, that she was not
privy to its publication. The citizens then
turned their wrath upon her, and she was Pc
remptorily ordered to leave the place in forty
eight hours. The lady pleaded for more time
on behalf of her sick daughter, but the clti-
zens of Akin knew no such humanity. She
asked for liberty to remain until her husband
could arrive to escort her and her sick child.
But the citizens of Akin knew nothing of gal
lantry or courtesy. The order was imperative
in spite of the earnest pleadings of woman,
wife, and mother Nor was this all. The
landlord of the hotel-would that we knew the
monsters name ordered the mother and the
sick daughter to leave his premises in half
an hour What further occurred between the
lady and the inhuman citizens of Aikin South
Carolina, we are not informed But we learn
that on Wednesday morning last her husband
received letter apprising him of her situation
and on the afternoon of the same day he start
ed for the South, and met his wife and daugh-
ter at Columbia, on their way home"

BLACKSTONE AHEAD OF THE TIMEs.-We
are grati0ed to learn that the people of Black
stone, at their recent March meeting, elected
Anthony Chase, Esq, County Treasurer, by a
unanimous vote The votes for him were
properly printed and deposited in the ballot
box. AS there was not solitary vote cast
against him, either there or in any other part
of the County, his right to hold the office will
not be questioned, more especially as the peo-
pie of the whole County elected him to the
same office, last November, for the term of two
years. The result of this election may have
been doubted, somewhere. Blackstone, how
ever, has now silenced all doubts, and settled
the question completely.
This case reminds us of an attempt of one
of the towns in New Hampshire, in 1874, to
settle the Presidential election of that year.
There were three candidates Clay, Polk,
aud Brney. The New Hampshire town in
question, on counting the votes, found that it
had not given majority for the electoral tick
ct of either candidate. Thereupon it was de-
cided that all the candidates had failed of an
election and the voters Immediately proceed.

LOVE, CoQUETRY, AND INsAEITY.-A sad
case of insanity has recently occurred in this
city through the influence of a little widow
with pretty face and laughing eyes.
AT watering place she made the acquaint-
ance of DIR. +. A. Noyes of this city. The doc
tor was made captive and drawn into the net
which the widow threw with such consummate
skill, and for while he was happy under the
impression that Emma, the fascinating widow,
would soon consent to change her name. In
this hope he was sadly disappointed, for when
he proposed, the widow wiped her eyes, said
that she should always esteem him as friend,
but she couldn't think of marriage. All hope
was given up, and he tried to Danish the image
of the widow, but she was determined not to
stay banished. She wanted more amusement
at his expense, and she had it.
She re-opened correspondence, visited him
at his Office, talked with him, laughed with
him, fiirted with him, and second time re-
fused him. Then reason began to totter, flick
cred for while like an expiring lamp, and on
Wednesday the last ray of intelligence left his
brain. He became raying maniac, fierce and
cruel and not able to contain his rage at the
sight of females face. His first attack was
upon lady visitor at the house. He tore her
clothes off and trampled them under foot. The
frightened domestics rushed to the rescue, but
the Doctor demolished all who opposed him.
He dashed his fists through mirrors-swept
vases and clocks from the mantle-pieces-
twisted off gas pipes-broke chairs and tables
dashed through a partition, and was only
prevented from doing further violence by the
arrival of two officers from the second station,
who removed him from the house. and kept
him locked up until his friends sent him to an
insane asylum, where he is now confined and
considered incurable.
The feelings of Mrs. Emma have not been
ascertained, but it is certain that she can't
boast much over her triumph.-Bost Traveller.
