TREATMENT OF THE UNFoRT UEATE COOLIES
A British colonist in Guiana has given the
following evidence, published in a "blue
book" by order Of the House Of Commons,
respecting the treatment of the unfortunate
Coolies: "They are all, both male and fe-
male, indentuTed indiscriminately as agri-
cultural laborers, with liability to punish
ment by fine and Imprisonment (free labor
ersl) for not performing five tasks of thirty
two cents each, weekly, which they are not
able to do. Unused TO the rigid aud labor
ious work required on sugar plantations, the
Coolies diet, which consists wholly of rice,
units him for severe or continuous exer-
tions. Besides this, the ordinance compels
the Coolie emigrant to work for far less
remuneration than he could obtain if he were
unshackled by an indenture. The returns
show that at present his earnings are scarcely
sufficient to furnish him with the actual
necessaries of life"

TIE MAJOR APPOINTED WARDEN-Hs
Model Address to the PrisonerS.-A story is
told of most worthy gentleman, whom we
shall call the Major, once placed in charge of
the penitentiary of the District of Columbia.
The appointment was made by the President;
and the Major, not little elated by his new
dignity, invited some friends to witness his
investiture, which he proposed to signalize
by speech to the inmates of the establish
ment
They accordingly accompanied the Major
to the penitentiary, in the inner courts oil
which these individuals of secluded habits
were drawn up in line. The Major stepped
out, and with graceful flourish of the hand,
commenced his address.
Gentlemen Heml-no," said he, "you
are not gentlemen. Fellow-ctizens. Hem
mo- III answer you are not fellow-citizens
| Convicts! haYe just been appointed, by the
| President of the United States, warden o
this renitentiary. Now, Iwish to say t
you that it is my design to have every thini
| conducted here in the most orderly manner
and l would like it to be understood, tina
the first rascal of you that makes a fuss shall
be kicked out of the esPblishment-he shan
| stay here at all /"

A New ORLEANS JOURNAL VIOLENTLY 0P-
POSED TO BRECKINRIDGE-The Terrible Ef-
fects of His EIechon.-The fearful conse-
quences to Lincoln of the victory of Breck-
inridge and Lane in the November contest
are thus depicted by the New Orleans Bul-
Eetin:
Let the people indorse revolution by their
votes at their peril. If they do, let them pre-
pare for bankruptcy, for q commercial storm,
for business paralysis. If they do, let the
rich prepare for poverty, and the poor for
suffering and idleness. If they do, let mer-
chants prepare to close their ledgers and
their doors, and clerks to be turned adrift.
If they do, let draymen prepare to sell their
teams, if they can find any buyers, and me-
chanics of all kinds to take a long holiday,
or to enlist in the armies of contending fac
tions. If they do let them, in word pre-
pare to inaugucate in Louisiana and the
country, another Mexico, with all of its pow
erty, its unnatural crimes, its dreary and
! CORY desolation, its dishsnor and its infamy
We warn every man who has any business
to suffer, or any property to lose, against in
dorsing by his vote the revolutionary doc
trines and designs of the Breckenridge
leaders at the South. Let every man look
| to the consequences.

Peculiar English View of American De-
mOcracy--Public Opinion n Tyraut in the
United States. .....
The following we clip from an article in
the London Dispatch, which endeavors to
show that persons living under Monarchy
are freer than those residing in a Republic;
In the United States the rights of the pri-
vate subject are completely merged in the
interests of the community. He has no
rights as private citizen. All the privileges
he possesses are concessions by the whole of
his millionth share of the common stock of
power. Lynch overrules law wherever law
differs from Lynch. IL is not enough that
Jury finds man innocent; he must be ac-
Quilted by public opinion, or certainly he
will be sentenced. 1t is not even enough
that the citizen holds property by the most
certain legal title. If the tenure be incon-
venient to the majority, as in the case of
seigneuries of New York and Massachusetts,
the State Marshal will be shot down in de-
Tending him in possession, and it will be i'm
possible to induce q jury to pronounce ver-
dict against his assassins.
The most eternal truths, the best settled
principles of virtue, must qualify themselves
to the taste of the many headed monster.
You must say nothing against slavery, else
you will be tabooed in the East, and tarred
and feathered in the South. You must say
nothing against the United States or against
republicanism, if you would escape general
prescription. The individual is nothing
society is all in all. Mankind are there re-
duced to an uniform rank and file that
merges the full private in his regiment
that tolerates no idiosyncracy-th has nc
| charity for what is congenial. Every mar
| is drilled out of the awkward squad of pc
| culiar manner, into discipline of the entire
mass of society. He is a cypher that ha
value and denomination only when placed
beside the units of society at large.

MELANCHOLY CONDITION OF WHITE La
BoRERs IN SLAVE STATEs.--Senator Ham
mond, in an address before the South Caro-
lima Institute, once said:
Of the 300, 900 white inhabitants of South
Carolina, there are $4,000 whose industry,
such as it is, and compensated as it is, is not
adequate to procure them honestly such a
support as every white person is entitled to.
Some of them maintain feeble and inju-
rious competition with slave labor some
can scarcely be said to work at all; they OBJ
tain a precarious subsistence by occasional
Jobs, by hunting, by fishing, some times by
plundering fields or folds, and too often by
what is in its effects far worse-trading
with slaves, and seducing them to plundeI
for their benefit,

GENERALS MORA AND WALKER.-The Mo-
bile (Ala.) Register, speaking of Mora's exc
cution, says that Mora was the man who
combined all the Central American States
against Walker, and in the war against him
spent large part of his private fortune.
Since then, however, Walkers enemies have
become his enemies also, and the Register has
reason to believe that his last expedition
was not without connection with Walker, 5
descent on Honduras, and that on Walker S
success depended his to o great extent. In
other words, but for the most unfortunate
coniuncture of unforeseen circumstances
Walker would have found friendly govern
ment in that of Costa Rica, had he succeeded
in Honduras.

THE LANGUAGES OF THE WoRLD-TOtaI
Number Eight Hundred and Sirty.- The
least learned are aware that there are many
languages in the world, but the actual num-
ber erisprobably beyond the dreams of ordinary
people. The geographer, Babi, enumerates
$50, which are entitled to be considered as
distinct languages, and 5000 which may be
regarded as dialects. Adelung, another
modern writer on this subject, reckons up
1904 languages and dialects existing, and
which have existed. Even after we have
allowed either of these as the number of
languages, we must acknowledge the exist
ence of almost infinite minor diversities; for
almost every province has a tongue more or
less peculiar, and this we may well believe
to be the case throughout the world at large.
II is said that there are little islands, lying
close together in the South Sea, the inhab-
itants Of which do not understand each
other. Of the $50 distinct languages emu
merated by Bab, fifty-three belong to Eu-
rope, ia to Africa, 1913 to Asia, AIT to
America, III to Oceanica, by which term he
distinguishes the vast number Of islands
stretching between Hindostan and South
America. s

A CHEMICAL FACT Nor GENERALLY KNOWN.
The distinguished German chemist, Hauer,
publishes fact not generally known. He
states that when broken crystal is placed
in a solution of an isomorphous salt it quickly
RECEIVERS its original form; but when a crys-
tai is cut so as to give faces belonging to
combinations of the same crystalline system,
only these new faces are developed. crys-
tai with artificial faces, submitted to the
action of solution of an isomorphous salt,
acts exactly like natural crystal. In this
way may be produced at will any crystalline
combinations whatever,

JUST DEFINITION OF THE TERM SPLURGE.
The Rev. DR.. Cox has given the following,
which we'll defines the term by illustrations
The word 'splurge" is coinage probably
not yet in any dictionary, yet meaning, as if
a great rock of the mountain disintegrated
from its summit, should rush and bound,
portentous and avalanched, into sylvan
lake at its foot there maEng SnupFSSGpiOqs
through the parted and the frightened
waves, and after dashing the spray in all
directions, burying itself in forgotten repose,

gone forever from sight, from thought, from
upper air, and all the ways of men, thus
meaning-the low aim of making a consider
able sensation at least once in society.

SUICIDE IN JAPAN REDUCED TO SCIENCE.
Committing suicide has been reduced to a
science in Japan. Enthusiasts, when weary
of life, always noted down all such messages
in books carried for the purpose, they To-
Gated their wallets with aims, and armed
themselves with sharp scythe to clear the
road of the many thorns and briars said to
impede the paths of Paradise. Thus equip
ped, the poor creatures would embark on a
deep lake in small canoe; padding out a
distance, they attached heavy weights to
their bodies, and sprang into the water,
while their admiring fraternity calmly re-
garded them as men much to be envied, and
took care that the canoe should be burned
with FIRE, as vessel too sacred to be ever
defled by being applied to less noble pur-
noses.

Edwin FORESTS "OtheIlO''-His Great
sII.....nac..

Edwin FORESTS "OthellO'-His Grent
Success in the ChaFacter
The New York Express, which possi-
bly, tells the truth occasionally, when
politics are not the theme, says of Forests
"Othello:"
"Othello" is one Of his finest characters.
We can see but little change since we last
saw him in il, save in the greater refinement
and delicacy shown in portions. Such, for
example, he exhibited in the pause he made
when after questioning "CassiO," the lieuten-
ant, answers him.
~ pray you pardon me, can not speak"
The silent expression of his head while
gazing upon the shame-smitten man was
singularly fine. Indeed, it was perfect
picture at the same time of pity for the
man and stern condemnation of the soldier.
The whole scene with "Desdemona," in the
fourth act, was grandly and subtly
rendered by him. His mixture of wrath at
his supposed wrong, and tenderness for the
shape that he has loved so deeply, was given
with on indescribable delicacy, and must be
seen by those who wish to appreciate the ex-
quisite fidelity with which it was traced out
by the artist.
We must also point out the grand and
terrible passion with which portions of the
soliloquy occurring after the interview with
"Iago," in the third act, were given, and the
delicacy which marked its concluding words
as he sees "Desdemona" coming toward
him. We do not of course, mean to infer
that merely beauties are to be traced in the
| "Othello' of Edwin Forrest. But these are
so numerous and in the present day so uu-
usually met with in such a liberal number,
| that we forbear from touching on their faults
which, at the side of the acting they were
last night brought in contact with, almost
assumed the appearance of positive excellen-
| cies. The house was crammed. When the
curtain rose for the commencement of the
piece, not a seat in the Garden could be
found uRoccupied, and hundreds were enjoy
ing the luxury of standing. 4 ..

New AND HARMLESS GREEN CoLoRING-
MATTER-The green coloring-matter used
by confectioners is generally a deleterious
compound, which frequently causes sickness.
A foreign chemist has devised a harmless
substitute. On five grains of genuine saffron
is poured a quarter Of an ounce Of distilled
water, then on four grains ofthe ssulphiIndi-
ounce of distilled water is poured. The
former mixture must stand for twenty-four
hours under the action of q moderate heat.
When the ingredients of both are thoroughly
mingled, the two are mixed together, and a
harmless and brilliant green coloring sub
stance is obtained-three drachms of which
will color two and one half pounds of sugar.

An Immense and Curious CannOn-The
Largest Gun but one in the World.

An Immense and Curious CannOn-The
Largest Gun but one in the World.
A brass gun weighing ,723 pounds and
said to be the largest but one in the world,
has lately arrived at New London, Conn. A
paper of that town gives the following ac-
count of it:
The ship BoOditch, which arrived at this
port on Wednesday last, brought from the
Sandwich Islands a large brass cannon, which
is a curiosity, on account of its age and vari-
GUS inscriptions, and from its good preserva-
ton and superior finish. How it ever reached
the fort at Honolulu, or was landed there, we
can not say, but for many years it lay an in
cumbrance within the Enclosure, .having
been dismounted and spiked by the French
when they attempted the subjugation of the
Hawaiian Kingdom, years ago. Some six
or seven years since blacksmith attempted
to bore out the vent, and while performing
the work, the bit struck fire inside the gun
and blew out an old charge of powder that had
been in the gun for many years. The explo-
sion drove the bit up from the vent, and il
| passed through the workman's neck, lnflict.
| ing a severe flesh wound.
The gun is believed to be of superior
| quality of metal, and gives evidence in its
| appearance and workmanship Of the skill OF
the founders. Being too large for use on the
| island it was sold by the Government for
old brasc, and brought mere 10 be cast IN
ordnance or church bells, as might happen,
when melted.
Its size is as follows: whole length, eleven
| feet eight inches; diameter at muzzle, four
teen inches and at the breech, sixteen
inches; weight, 8, 1913 pounds. Each end is
adorned with elaborate fancy work, and on
top are inscriptions and devices. The in.
scriptions seem to imply that this piece came
originally from France. The motto" The
last reasoning of Kings was ordered in
scribed on ali his cannon by Louis XIV. A
relic of the olden time, this venerable piece
of ordnance is an interesting object for the
inspection of antiquarians.

Ovid, the Roman poet, who wrote something
more than 1000 years ago, alludes to this
practice, and also to that of wearing false
hair and using cosmetics: ..
Nature, indulgent to the sex, repays
The losses they sustain, in various ways
Women with Juice of herbs grey locks dlsgulsei
And Art gives color which with Nature Yies

QUEEN VIcToRrA's HIBERNIAN DESCENT
A correspondent of the Dublin Evening
Packet says:
On reading the address of Marshal Nc
Mahon, in which allusion is so pointedly
made to his descent from the ancient mon
archs of Ireland, l find that the presenters
are unaware that our beloved sovereign is
Queen of Ireland by virtue of her descent
from the family of Fergus, the Irish Prince,
among whose subjects were included the
Generals ancestors and other families which
subsequently attained royal dignity in the
country. Also, that since Edward " (the
lineal descendant through the families Of
Mortimer &C., of the Irish King Dermont
McMurrough,) has Irish royalty-as the
Saxon previously and the Scottish subse-
quently-merged in the occupant of the
throne of the British Isles.

THE HAPPINESS OF CHILDREN.-Hard be his
fate who makes no childhood happy; it is so
easy. 1t does not require wealth, or posi-
ton, or fame only little kindness, and the
tact, which it inspires. Give child a
chance to love, to play, to exercise his i'm
agination and affections, and he will be
happy. Give him the conditions of health,
simple food, air, exercise, and a little variety
in his occupations, and he will be happy, and
expand in happiness.
