but In Griffith Gaunt" there is nothing but
shade. There is not character IN the book
which is not either seduced, seducer, an adul-
terer, or a barmaid, except Catherine Gaunt
and she came very near ceasmg to be an excep-
tion. Now this is a hard assertion, yet it is the
truth. There are five principal characters
Griffith clearly is adulerer, for he pretends TO
marry Mercy Vint while his wife still lives Mrs.
Gaunt is almost in love with Leonard, and
comes very nearly being guilty of crime for
which the Hebrew was stoned to death. Mercy
Vint, after marrying Griffith marries another
man, which is gross violation OF morality, while
Sir George, by marrying a mistress OF Griffith,
causes her to commit adultery. Nor is this
penchdnt confined to the leading characters.
Mrs Ryder has three paramours, and an illegiti-
mate child Thomas Leicester is bastard
brother of Griffith Gaunt; Mrs. Leicester was
the victim of Griffith's father. To set the
morality of the personages portrayed in still

ON TRANsLATING THE ''DIvINA ooMMEDIA.'
FOURTH SONNET.
How strange the sculptures that adorn these
This crowd Of statues, in whose folded
sleeves
Birds build their nests; while canopied with
leaves
Parvis and portal bloom like tre,hsed
bowers,
And the vast minst seems cross of Aowersi
But fends and dragons from the gargoyled
caves
Watch tue dead Christ between the living
thieves,
And underneath the traitor Judas lowers.
Ah! from what agonies of heart and brain,
What Civilizations trampling on despair,
What tenderness, what tears, what hate OF
wrong,
What passionate outcry OF a soul in pain,
Uprose this poem of the earth and air,
This medieval miracle OF song!

PRAoTICAL MMERALOGY, AssAYING, AND MINING.
By Frederick OVerman. Philadelphia: Lindsay
& Blakiston.
The little work before us supplies want long
felt. 1t is practical handbook and essay on
mining. The rising influence of our mineral
investments, and the boards of capital which
yearly flow into new enterprises to develop the
mining wealth OF our great West, as well as of
our own State, render such book most valu-
able and welcome. 1t will be appreciated by
all who feel an interest in the subject, and is
neatly bound and clearly printed.

Tickled to Death.

One of the most fatal and astonishing
cases of tickling child which has come
within our knowledge, was enacted night
before last by woman living on Massa-
chusetts avenue, upon her daughter. a
girl about fourteen years old. The
mother had been up town to witness the
rope walking feat, and upon returning
home commenced playing with aud tick
ling her daughter Whether she took
that as a mode of Furnishing the child,
or was doing 1t from mere amusement,
we are unable to say but she tickled the
child until it was completely exhausted,
and continued until the child, in strug-
Cling to free itself, bursted blood yes
sci. and short time after expired. The
young girl was very small for her age,
and was highly esteemed by all who
knew her The funeral services took
place yesterday. This is cad affair,
and all who take pleasure in torturing
child by tickling it until exhausted,
should take this as a warning, and re-
frain from so delightful an amusement

propose to obtain them2 That is the
question. He has never been informed,
of course, that the white men Of this
State cannot vote, or hold office Now
it occurs to US that if the white people
cannot exercise the franchise, the chance
is very poor for colored persons In

tains the President in his paci6cation
scheme, has drawn from the Albany
Erening Journal crushing rebuke.
The Journal is the central organ Of the
New York Radicals, but it cannot lend
itself to such petty spite. The rebuke it
gives its party friends is well deserved
one. 1t says
Ifit is right for Congress to practi-
cally remove one man from office for
unfavorably criticising its conduct, is it
not right for the President to do the same
thing in the Gaze of all office-holders who
indulge in similar criticisms about him ?
Congress is no more above criticism than
the President, aud should be no more
sensitive. Indeed, II there is any excuse
for irritation and retaliation, it is on the
side u the President He stands alone,
and must, in his own person, receive
whatever shafts are hurled at him. But
Congress is noun Of multitude, and
each member can consider the objection
able matter directed at every one but
himself, or, if willing to take bis share,
divide the abuse in homeopathic doses
among the crowd.
= In this case it was Congress and not
the President who was gored, and, as
in the case of the fable, that made all
the difference 10 the world. Neyerthe-
less if Congress was right in cutting of
Mr. Harvey's rations, the President.
acting under ike provocation, would not
be wrong if be should stop the grog OF
every ofiiceholder in the country.
but Congress proposes to prevent
the President from following its ex-
ample, by taking recess from time to
time instead Of adjourning This is
like the old Scotch parson, who was not
very exemplary himself, but desired his
parishioners should be. BE said to
them: Brethren, dinna want ye to do
as do, but to do as l bid ye.

STRONG CONTRAST.

The Mobile Tribune thus alluaes TO Il
couple of millionaires; That generous
hearted Yankee, GEORGE PEABODY, never
tires of using his fortune for benevolent
purposes; and it is so uncommon to lind
a man doing so much good, and himself
seeing the effects of it, that the case is
one of which there is no parallel in the
past. That old hunk, Aston, will hug
his money bags until his arms fall nerve
less in the agony of death. He will make
his will and keep it in his iron chest; and
when his mournful relatives gather to-
gether to hear it read, they will find that
he has left million or so to charitable
purposes. If be could carry it all away
with him to the unknown world, perhaps
even this sum-pitiful for him-wonld
not find its way to any human uses

MOB LAW In EAST KENTUCKY.
Execution OF the Murderers OF
George r. Archer.
Sad Affair...Three Men Hung.

From the Catlett.burg (Ky.) Herald. July g.
On the morning of Tuesday, July 18th,
a body of one hundred and fifty men,
composed of some Of the best citizens
Of Lawrence county, repaired to the
village Of Louisa, Kentucky, entirely
unexpected by the inhabitants Of that
place, for the purpose Of melting out
what they termed justice, to the
trio of murderous desperadoes who
were confined in the county Jail, charged
with the murder of Que of the best
citizens of Lawrence county, Mr.. George
R. Archer, some months ago. Consulta-
ton after consultation was held, between
the citizens Of the town and the gentle
men composing the company, in order
to get the company TO leave the matter in
the hands of the officers of the law, but
all efforts proved futile Earnest appeals
we're made by Col. Ferguson, Rev. Nr.
Medley, and Mr. Hull, at the Courthouse,
IN behalf Of law and order, after which
vote was taken by lie company, aud the
following was the r, suit eleven in favor
Of the law, the balance in favor Of imme-
date execution whersupOn they went 10
the Jail, gained admission, took out the
prisoners, and escorted them TO black
smith shop, where they we're relieved Of
their nanacles. From there they pro-
ceeded to the place Of execution.
Jim Lyons made a confession on the
way to the gallows, which was pro
nounced false BY the other two. John
Lyons and Bill Wright also made volun-
tary confessions, as soon as they arrived
at the scafold which had been prepared
They all assembled and took their posi-
tiong on the same. As soon as quiet
was restored, Bill Wright made speech,
and in his remarks be requested that bis
confession should not be read, ss be pre-
ferred to have it published to the world
after be was dead This, however, was
not granted. The trathfulness Of Wright's
confession was also pronounced false by
the Lyons brothers, and the controversy
between the prisoners finally ended in a
quarrel; giving each other the lie several
times. The prisoners manifested very
little fear, and otherwise showed them
selves TO be bold, desperate hends. John
Lyons sent word to his brother that be
hored 10 meet him in a better place than

him an old pocket handkerchief for q
keepsake.
The time had now arrived for the ter
mination of the lives Of these miserable
men, and on receiving the notification,
the Lyons brothers joined hands and
kissed each other The caps were then
drawn over their heads and they shouted
good bye to the throngs and they, in
connection with Wright, we're launched
into eternity After banging about ff-
teen minutes life was pronounced extinct.
They were then cut down and their
bodies were given into the hands Of the
village authorities. A sun Of money
sufficient 10 defray the burial expenses
was made up by the execution company.
The bodies we're taken 70 the court
house and placed in cof5ns, and the next
morning we're taken out on Blaines for
burial

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.

The Portland Press says that duripg
the Revolutionary war, when the British
burned Portland an infant, but few
weeks old, was removed from a house on
Ford street, below India street, in that
town, and taken out of town for safety.
The house was burned down. During the
conaagratiou on the 4th of July, that
same infant was removed from a house
erected on the spot where stood the one
burned by the British, from which ninety
wears ago she had been removed, and she
was once more taken to "a place OF safety.
She was the venerable Miss Hannah
Thorlo, the daughter of Captain Peter
Thorlo. She is now ninety-one years of
age, Of infrm health, but possessing q
remarkably bright mind. Fortunately
the house of her childhood was untouched
by the fire.

TESTIMONY OF HENRY CLAY.

There are many, says the Peoria Dem
ocyat, who now act with the Republican
party who remember Henry Clay as an
honest politician, a higb-minded gentle
man and true friend to the Union. In
l843, be wrote letter in which be says
The agitation Of the question Of slavery

LIST, Destroy all harmony;
I'd, Lead to division
Sd, To poverty;
4th, To war
9Th, The determination Of the black
race;
eth. To ultimate military despotism
We have seen the result so far as the
first four propositions are concerned,
and the prophecy has proved literally
true. We have commenced on the fifth
and sixth, the determination Of the nj
groes and a military despotism. Would
it not be the best and most effectusl
method for those who profess to vene-
rate the memory and love the name Of
the "Sage Of Ashland" TO show that
regard, by preventing the ful6lment of
those predictions The old Wing party,
led By such men as HESRr CLAY, was a
national party, and would no more have
sustained the Radicals in their con-
spiracy to inaugurate a military despo-
tism. than "CHRIsT can have concord
With BFlIAL."
