A visit 20 Giants.

In the London Orchestra we find this ac-
count of a visit to the giants Chang and
Anak, who are exhibiting themselves in
Birmingham. The writer went through the
process of ''chin-chinning'.
"The process of chin-chinning Is easily
performed. You shake hands with your
self at the level Of your own nose, and then
work an imaginary pump, uttering the words
Chin, Chin blandly. After that YOU look
happy. Chang is mountainous poet with
good face. ! could fancy him u sort of
celestial Tennyson, who weuld write The
Idyls Of the Emperor If he liked. He Is
very fond Of shaking hands with his audi
ence, who don't like il, but are afraid he
will hit them if they object; and blow from
Chang's fist wonid be equivalent to coneils-
a nice lady, with homeopathic feet. /
wanted to know how she kissed her husband
and Chang informed me it was his practice
to sit down on the hearthrug and let his
wife stand ON chair, by which process the
marital embrace was performed. She only
kisses him once week--on Sunday morn
ing--owing to the difficulties in the vav.
On week days they merely chin-chin each
oefitt- AiuiiS, TIC tNdflf SAtHJuSN u hIitGff
man, is great card. He is frightfully
muscular, and chops at imaginary enemies,
after first writing his chop on the wall.
He is first chop in most things-especially
as he might hurt ones chin before being
discovered.
"After entertaining with Chang and
his friends, went to see Anak, then exhib-
iting under the tuielage Of Prof. Anderson
He also is big man, though not so well
made as Chang, and, fancy, padded. He
was dressed in curious ancient garment of
necromantic shape SO that Anak, when
dressed, may be said TO be an Anakronirm.
He talks French, and is much pestered by
middleaged ladies who have. been to Paris,
and wish to prove il. 1t Is always middle
aged and old ladies who make themselves
ridiculous, and often wonder whether the
dear girls Of the present time win turn silly
when they get old. There are 80 many
elderly ladies talking bad French to Anak,
and calling him sMossveu,' that I felt DISCUS
ted and leff, first recommending Prof Ander-
son to send little Tom. Dot home to bed, for
be is stunied baby who is fast killing him
self by late hours and precocity. 1 hate
phenomena-especialiy under six years Of
age; and Tom. Dot has nothing in him but
extreme sraallness and eheekiness."

First Case Under the Civil Rights Law
SUIT RY A CoLoRED MAN IN INDIANA.

SUIT KY a COLORED MAN IN INDIANA.
A telegram from Lafayette, Indiana, reports
that on the 1lth instant colored man named
Barnes OF that city, brought a suit against
prominent citizen to enforce contract. The de-
iendant, for answer, sets up that the negro came
into the State in violation of the thirteenth art
Gle of the Constitution of the State of Indiana,
which, under pains and penalties, prohibits ne
groes from coming into the State, and debars
them from all rights to enforce contracts etc.
The plaintiff demurs to the answer, maintaining
that the thirteenth article is void and OF no
effect, because
First-It is in contravention of the letter and
spirit of the Constitution of the United States.
Second-lt is in direct conflict with the Con-
shtutional Amendment abolishng slavery.
Third-It is void under the first section of the
Civil Rights BILL which gives to all persons born
in the United States full right to make and en-
force contracts, any law, statute, ordinance, re-
gulation, OF custom to the contrary nOtwtn-
standing
The Court sustained the demurrer, and the de.
fendant appealed to the Circuit Court, which is
now in session. The case was submitted on We'd
nesday, and after argument of counsel, Colonel
r. P. Dehart, for appellee, and Colonel w. G.
Wilson for appellant, the case was taken under
adViSement,

SCARCITY OF MONEY IN UTAH.-In Salt Lake
City business is done on specie basis, though
there is little money current compared to the
demands of trade. In the country settlements,
however, there is no circulating medium, but
the people resort to barter. Wheat is the usual
loyal tender. Horses, harness, vehicles, cattle,
and hay are cash; eggs, butter, pistols, knives,
stockings, and whiskey are change; pumpkins,
potatoes, sorghum, molasses, and calves are
taken at discount.

SALE OF SPLENDID STATUARY.-On next
Friday morning Messrs Viii Brothers will expose

Chestnut street OF the finest collections of satuary
in CarraTa marble that has ever been exhibited in
this country. The selection consists OF paror and
garden figures appropriate monumental designs,
vases ano other articles adapted to a refined taste.
This morning we carefully inspected the articles
and they certainly perfect of their kind. Among
the gems observed very beautiful Greek Slave"
latter Powers) bust of "Eve" small figure of
Innocence" Carusi's Fidelity" and a large group
entitled "Past and Future" All of these admi-
rable specimens of art, new in this country, and
worthy OF the inspection OF all interested III matter
OF taste.
The monumental figures are equally fine. There
is a magnificent figure of the CANCEL of the Resur
rectoD," which has attracted universal attention
has also that of the Immaculate Conception, zone
of those delicate ideas that immortalize artist.
In the department of ornamental garden statuary
the collection is more than ordinarily rich. "The
Roman GladiatOrs" is study, and no should
miss q view of ii.
In addition to these attractions there are large
number of splenddy artistic staUuesques in ala
baster, stone, ETC. ETC., undoubtedly directly i'm
ported IRON Italy, the home of the arts. The pre-.
sent sale is Of those occasions not often offered,
when coaaOisselrS can secure articles of Uirtu at
reasonable cost. 1t is worthy of remark that the
taste for art in all its departments is increasing in
this country Immense numbers OF persons are de-
voting their attention and means to these things
who have but recently acquired love for such luXU
Tes. Much of this educatio due to the fact that
art sales have become more common of late years,
and II is to be hoped that they will continue.

A Strange Murder Story from Nevada.

The Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise, OF Feb.
ruary IL, has an account OF terrible hand-to-
hand conflict between one Tom Peasly, native
OF New York, and Mart BaInhart, of Indiana,
which occurred in Carson City, the capital of
the State. 1t appears by the testimony OF by
ISLANDERS that Barnhart, who had an old grie-
vance against Peasly, went up to him rs he Sat by
the stove OF the hotel bar-room and said:-"Why
didn't you fight me last year at the Glenbrook
House?" Peasly hestated moment and then
rephed:-'I don't know; are you always on the
hghtW
Barnhart assuming an erect position, said:-
''Yesn and drawing his revolver, leyelled it at
Peasly, who moved his head to one side very
quickly, and exclaimed:-"You don't want to
murder me, do you"
The response was bullet through the breast.
AS Peasly rose he received a second balls but
clinchiug his arm to his breast he sprung for
ward selling his opponent by the knees, who,
in the meanwhile, pounded him with the butt
of his pistol. A desperate struggle ensued,
which was finally transferred to the adjacent
room. Here the two were separated, Peasly
being nearly dead with loss of blood, having
been shot twice, while his brain reeed from the
blows on his head. Presently the wounded man
seemed to regain his strength. Rising to his
feet he suddenly turned on Barnhart and dis,
charged several shots from revolver that had
hitherto been concealed. Both men then fell
gasping. They died IN few minutes. The
origin of the quarrel is supposed to have beer
a difference of opinion in regard TO a local ques'
tion which came up before the recent State
Legislature.
