counts of negro outrages at Chatham,

of disturbances said to have taken place
recently in this vicinity, between the

only grounds for these reports Is fight
which took place among few white and

which no particular damage was done to
either party, It caused no excitement

the party started on sleigh ride to Bing-

Before arriving at Binghamton several OF
the party became sick, and soon after
their arrival at Ways, eleven of the
fourteen were very sick, and sent for
W. W. Wheaton. It appears evident
that they had taken poison ofsome kind.
Antidotes were administered, but five OF
the number were in dangerous condition

Delightful Scene In an Irish The.
ateP

A Characteristic scene occurred in
the theater at Belfast, Ireland, On the
18th nit. An actor, Mr.. Moss, rushed
before the curtain and asked the audi.
ence 10 interpose between him and Mr..
Scott, the manager, who said he was
drunk. He was hotly pursued by Scott,
and they had fist,fight on the stage,
the Irish audience being in a high state
ofdelight, evidently sympathizing with
Moss, but pelting both combatauts
with eggs, apples and other missiles.
They presently disappeared, but soon
Moss darted into the orchestra, chased
by a constable and a policeman, and
the row became general. It ended
by the play going on as usual, and Mr..
Moss performing his part, as if moth
ing had happened, the little episode
having refreshed the audi.
ence to an extraordinary degree. y

Misttllantous.
Gorilins and their FerOciIy-The
Gigantic Savage of Central Africa.

Gigantic Savage of Central Africa.
DR., Du Chaillu is probably the first
and only white man who has dared to
wage war with Gorillas. The apes OF
Dorneo and Sumatra are infants in
comparison with them. The far
famed Ohimpanzee is a great docie
creature which can never be named
in the same day with the gigantic
savage Of Central Africa. Think of
it'll The Gorilla is six feet two inches
in hight, and three feet between the
shoulder blades. The paw is that Of q
giant-three times the sizS of a hu.
mar hand. The finger measures six
inches in circumference at the base.
There is an immense ridge running
perpendiculaTly over the Uranium;
this and the great jaws are packed
with muscle Of prodigious strength. -
The creature has huge arms altogeth-
er disproportiOned to the body. 1t is
covered with black hair, and has a
matted lock on its head, which it has
the power Of bringing over its face
1t has almost the sagacity of a man,
and almost the ferocity Of a fiend.--
The male is terribly pugracious; the
female always flies. When they make
their attack they beat their breasts with
their fists, making a sound which can
be heard a mile. Their cry--.which
has a terrific resemblance to a human
voice-can be heard three miles amidst
the reverberations of the hills.
As they approach their adversary,
they eudeaFor to intimidate him. One
would think this was easily done.--
That fearful sound, those frantic eyes,
glaring with the intelligence and ma
hgnity of a demon, were enough to
shake nerves not easily disturbed from
their equipoise. Our hero lost five or
six men in these strange engagements.
Think ofthe tremendous strength that,
with one blow of the arm, could crush
the ribs like pipe-stems, and tear out
piece of the side; and that with a
single movement Of the jaw, could
crush the barrel of gun as if it had
been a stick Of candyl Another fact !:
There are no Lions in the beat of the
gorilla.

Yedict of nn Alnbnma Iurr.

They lately tried a man in Alabama
for stealing hogs. The jury, retiring
to the woods to deliberate, came in
with the verdict, "Guilty of hog
steali' in the iust degreel" The judge
informed them they should have as
sessed the value OF the hogs; there
were no degrees in hog stealing, and
they must bring in verdict in "prop.
er FORM" Again the jury took to the
woods, and, after mature deliberation,
old Sim Tuner made out the following
"fOrm," which, on their return, he
handed with much pomposity to the
clerk, who read it aloud: ave, the
jury, pusillannermusly doth find the
defendant guilty in the sum of one
dollar and halfin favor of the hogs"

Him Crow Rice.

Bih crow kIce.
"Jim Grow" Rice's funeral was
largely attended in New York OH
Friday by actors, actresses, ministries,
supernumeraries, dancers, &c. He
died old and poor, for his prodigal
nature prevented him from saving
when his earnings were large. Rice
was the father of modern Ethiopian
minstrelsy. Before his time negro
songs attracted but little attention,
almost the only rhymes Of the kind
set to music and sung by the whites
being "Coal black Rose" and mig.
ger go to Hayti." Some twenty. five
years ago there was a colored man at
Pittsburgh who was known by the
name of jim Grow. lie was the de.
light Of the boatmen and blacks on
the wharves, and he used to afford
them much merriment by song he
sung, in which, when he came to the
refrain, he suited the action to the
word, aud shouted out, '
81 turn about and jump about,
And do just so,
And every time turn about,
| jump Jim Crow" ..
Rice, who was not much given to
hard work, had watched Jim Crows
peculiarities until he could intimate
his voice and action with much accu.
racy. He finally determined to try
his fortune upon the stage and he
danced and sang Jim Grow, wearing
Tor the first performances the identical
ragged coat of the original Jim.--
Jim was we'll known to all the fire.
quenters OF the theatre, and the
Of Rice elected roars Of
laughter and applause. Night after
night the house was crowded, and
Rice had sufficient tact to keep up the
interest and the excitement by con.
staDtly changing the words ofthe song
and introducing local and popular
hits. From Pittsburgh, Rice went to-
other cities of the Union, creating a
turore wherever he went, and making
a great deal Of money. lie even went
to England, and became as popular
there as in this country. Jim Grow
finally became thread bear, and Mr..
Rice introduced number of other
songs which he sang in character
He then introduced concerts, in which
his assistants had their faces blacked,
and finally burlesque operas were
got up in which the performers all ap-
peared in burnt cork. Ethiopian
concerts and negro extravaganzas have
now become established departments
of music and Of the irregular drama,
and the origin of the whole can be
clearly traced to the accident which
made Rice the mimic of an ecee nitric
old negro. He is certainly entitled to
the distinction OF being the founder Of
Burnt Corkdom.

AN OLD BACHELORS EXPLANATION
AND ADvIoE.--A hopelessly single
gentleman relates how nearly he was
once mated, and is so ungallant as to
suggest very unpoetic idea to others
of his race, as follows
"Once | did take fancy to young
person--solne half dozen years nay
Junior, who sang, danced and con.
versed very well. Gradually 1 in.
creased the dose of my visits to calls
of two hours size, taken three times a
week, late after dinner. Then the
knowing ones chuckled and said it
was a match, But it wasn't-for
this reason. After matters had gone
a certain distance toward the ire
deema5lo step, was introduced, for
the first time, to this young persons
mother. In that mother | saw the
exact facsimile of the present fresh
picture--only drawn by an elder ar
tist. This same noze, mouth, chin,
all the features Of my adorable Annie
as they would look painted on the
canvas of 1877; and time had vulgari-
zed them-decidedlyl | turned to
that pretty young person-fancied
every thing exhaled that was exhala.
BILE by years-and instead OF her be-
ing my Annie, she was very COM
mon-place, ordinary, middle,aged
woman. Always get presented to
the mother, if you would see whether
you are really in love with the daugh-
ter. If their original sketch is the
same, and the elder picture is as love.
ly with that beauty that many sum-
mers only mellow--take home the
younger portrait. lfit is otherwise
do as you choose.
