How a Rebel was Badly Whipped.

The story is related of Lycugus,
the great Spartan lawgiver, that
when his severe system of laws was
about to be carried into operation.
it met with bitter aud violent oppo
sition from many Of the people,
Among these opponents was a
young man oil great earnestness and
influence over the masses, who
was so carried away by his passions
and hostility to the new code, that
he made a personal assault upon
the great lawgiyer, and actually
Knocked ont Que OF his eyes. The
friends of Lycnrgus seized the vio-
lent youth aud were about to sub.
Jrct him to a violent death, bat Ly-
curgus begged as favor to him
that they would deliver his assail
ant to bis hands. He accordingly
took him with him and being salts
fed OF the young mans sincerity,
took such pains to exponnd his sys,
TEN to him and treated him with
such kindness and generosity, that
the youth returned TO the people
and became one Of the most efficient

Of not few illustrations Of the

One was related to us few days
ago. A gentleman of this city
who has been a very prominent,
earnest and effective rebel, was
captured and brought some weeks
ago to Baton Rouge, where be was
delivered Tito the hands of General
Lawler. Now the General is one
of the kindest hearted and most
genial of men, and TO the surprise
Of the captured rebel, be received
him with the greatest benigpity and
courtesy, and after taking bis par
ole and otherwise kindly opliging
him, asked the heretofore obdurate
rebel If his men United States sol

horse and buggy of his. The rebel,
with resigned but melancholy air,
answered in the affirmative, adding
--"and you will find him an excel

General, II have so found him, but
as you are in greater need Of him,
and have a better title to him than
| have, here is an order for him.
Wbereupon our rebels pensive and
melancholy air continuing, the
General inquired if he, could do any.
thing more for him. "Not So, sir"
was the reply of the astonished and
Inundated rebel; II beg you wont,
for you have already made me feel
worse whipped than have been
during this war"
Our suhjusated rebel came to the
city; aud was much distressed to
find his family ejected from the
homestead, and in great need. He
had been prosperous merchant, OF
good credit, and seeing no other
mode of raising the funds he requir
ed, he wrote to an old mercantile
friend at the North, who had been
as strong Union man as he had
been a rebel and eecessionist, sta.

if bis sold friend would loan him u

Discovery OF DANTE's REMAINS.
The literary and antiquarian circles Of
Europe are excited over the announce
ment Of the discovery at Rayenna o.
the remains Of the poet Dante. A
correspondent Of the London Daily
NeTs, writing from Florence, gives
the particulars OF the event, as learned
from friends who we're at Ravenna
when the discovery was made. His
account is as follows
While some workmen were EN-
pIoyed 10 clearing the chapel viii b
contains Dante's remains from The out
buildings surrounding it, peculiar
noise in striking the outer wall sug-
gested 70 them that some hollow might
be found within. Accordingly, on
using some violence on that portion of
the wall where the hollow sound was
produced, wooden coffin was dis
covered, from which several bones fell
out in the confusion of the first dis
covery. On scroll within the coffin
was found written, ."Dantis ossa me
FrGte Antonio SAINT hic postta 1877,
die Is Oct0bris )" and inside the Id
OF The coffin the following inscription
was placed "Daatis ossa denuper
rc0isa Junii 1877" The cottiu had
been slowed away with its precious
deposit within this mural sepulcher At
that date, and had remained there till
now. The Italian Deputy, Monzani,
Col. Malencbini, and Alto Venucci,
Were in "Dante's Chapel" at the mo-
ment Of the interesting discovery. The
Protect and Mayor Of Ravenna were
forthwith called to the spot. The
skeleton head and bones of Dante
were examined carefully in their pres
ence. Save afragment ofthe Uranium,
the whole of the lower jaw, and three
joints Of the right hand, which were
missing, all the bones were found to be
intact. The head was moderately
large. broad at the temp les, while the
base Of the skull bears tokens of an
equally large development.
Daute's coffin has now been placed
within a strong box, Or outer coffin.
to which The four seals of tF7s com.
mune have been affixed. The whole
of this curious transaction has been
noted down in the State archives,
with the names Of the municipal au.
thorities and ofthe gentlemen who
were present.

"THr EVERLASTING NEGRo."-Col. Utley,
formerly Republican Senator in Wisconsin,
but since his resignation the Editor Of the
Racine Journal, thus .discourses in his last
weeks issue:
"The everlasting negro is still in the field.
It was once thought that the severing OF the
bonds that bound him to his degradation would
let him up and place him in situation where
he would be able to work out his own salvation,
and that his dark presence would not be thrust
into every action Of life for all time to come,
but in this we are mistaken, for when we have
lifted one great burden from his shoulder there
is still another, and so on down until we come
to that seeming curse that was laid upon him
by the hand Of his creator in giving him his
black skin. Now the negro is not to blame
for the color of his skin nor for the position
which he occupies at this time; he had no
power over the great potter that fashioned his
CLAW, neither had he power over the robbers
that tore him from his native land and sold
him as an article of merchandise to an avari-
cious, wicked and superior race. We venture
to say superior for we believe the white race
to be the superior race the world over. There
may be black men that are equal to white men
in many things, but they have learned it from
the whites and not the whites from the blacks;
there is all grades of intellect in the white race,
and 90 there is in the colored. We must not
Judge Of the different races by individuals in
either, but by the position each race has attain
ed upon its own merits. In point OF goodness
the white man has nothing Of which he should
boast. We believe the colored man capable Of
attaining very respectable position among the
nations of the earth. therefore we think we do
the negro wrong when we try to force him
into . position that God never intended any
nation to occupy until they had reached it by
works"
