excuse IS plausible, and we will only, in
passing, lament the depravity of mem
ory. How strange that, on the other
hand, we should ever have cause to
lament the rirtue Of memory! Scandal
Is not so easily forgotten.
We have sanctified liars-that is, set
apart from the common herd, and too
seldom rebuked on account of the cir
cumstances Of their mendacity Such
are those who ignore their personality
in corporations, (Which are supposed to
be soulless,) and carry on organized de-
ception; such as tell the truth, indeed,
bnt not the whole truth; such as lie
officially, like the Spanish Admiral
Nunez, who, after being defeated at
Callao, reports how he has classified the
Peruyians, and vindicated the honor of
his country; such as lie automatically,
by circumlocation, talking around the
truth. But we need not multiply in
stances.
We are glad that, so far as convent
ence is concerned, the instinct Of civil
lied society is against the race of liars.
Even if civilized nations ignore the
spirit of truth, they find that general
opinion in favor of the better is not un-
profitable. Though we go to church
with the liar, we watch him the rest of
the week according to the principles Of
social and business orthodoxy. 1t is
said on the best authority that disregard
Of truth among the Hindoos and Chinese
is "uniform and systematic" Plato
says, Gle may lie who knows how to do
it in fit season." A noble Roman says,
There is nothing decorous in truth but
when it is profitable" 0, heathens and
classic writers. we are glad that you do
not teach in Chrisendom; for we fond
ly trust that our liars are outlawed,
though multitude are at large.
There are persons to whom all the
Lying wonders Of this and every age
are troublesome mysteries, simply be-
cause they are too creduIous. They
forget that liars abound, and that it is an
easy thing to lie. If a child be told
that the moon is green cheese we are
not surprised that instead Of questioning
the fact, it is busy with its questions
respecting the phenomenon of a celestial
cheese; for it has to learn by experience
of mankind that not everything that is
said is true. But we are surprised, Gf
the account is trueD when we read of
philosopher who, on being asked why
the placing of fish in tub of water
does not increase the weight, proceeded
to elaborate his theory without inquiring
into the fact of the case, He believed
the ''fsh" story too readily. Without
soul-torturing suspicion Of all men, and
an utter mistrust Of all experience, like
Hume, we may phylosophically weigh
testimony, and take into account the
fact that many men are liars. Let us
consider all the capabilities of decelvers
before we 90 into horrors and spirit
rappings-the spirit of St. Paul turning
buckwheat cakes and smashing crockery;
all the wonders of clairvoyance, fortune
telling, haunted houses. The devil may
put it into the hearts of some to lie.
Many wonders are the vagueries of dis
eased and disordered brains. Late sup
pers and opium are prolific sources of
dreams and visions; and many are man
ufactured, like Mcbeth's witches, to
please Or gull the public.

Suuerstition of Sailors.

The New York World, in giving an ac-
count of the death of John Van Buren, on
the steamer Scotia, relates the instance as
illustrating the superstition of the sailors.
1t says:
''The weather, almost Immediately after
Mr.. Van Buren's death, became tremen-
dou>y stormy. The Scotia was just sailing
into the gale then raging along our eastern
coast. The coincidence of Mr.. Van Bur
ems death with the occurrence of the hur-
ricane had an effect upon the minds of some
of the working seamen, which, though not
novel, considering their superstitious ten
dcnces, is interesting to relate in reference
to the present occasion. The sailors es-
teemed it very bad luck to keep the body
On board. without instantly committing it
to the deep, and were chagrEed at the no
ble resolve of Commodore Judkins to bear
the remains to our shore for interment. -
They requested its sea burial. 1t was re
fused. Still the storm continued, ana the
Seamen considered the unconscious corpse q
Jonah in their midst. 1t is stated that q
movement was frustrated by detection,
which they had covertly considered, if not
determined, to cut the ropes that held the
boat on the port side, in which the coffined
remains had been placed. The conduct of
the officers of the Scotia, in this circum-
stance, will be duly appreciated by the
thousands to whom the regular in,erment
of the body of MIR. Van Buren, among the
scenes and associations of his home, is in no
small degree the mitigation Of the personal
sorrow occasioned by his untimely loss. -

Horrible Murder.

Detroit, NOV. D.
4 man named August Schultz was mur-
dered on Saturday night, on Woodward
avenue, near the outskirts of the city.
He was found IN ditch yesterday, aud
the detectives were but on the track They
arrested two negroes named Nining and
Walker Vining manifested great alarm,
and made full confession of the terrible
crime. Nining and Walker resided a short
distance from the house of the deceased,
and on Saturday learned that he intended
to purchase house, and would start in the
evening to his brothers residence for
money, They armed themselves with a
gun, and awaited the approach of their
succeeded in obtaining the money. AS
soon as Schultz got within a rod 5 distance
Walker deliberately fired at him, but
missed his mark. Walker and his COM
panion then walked up to where the as
tonished victim stood, and commenced an
attack. A scuf1e en>ued, bat the murder
ers having the advantage, soon overpow-
cred the unfortunate man, and with the
butt Of the gun Walker beat his braius
out AS soon as the murder was accom-
plished, the pockets of the dead man were
rihed, but instead of the large amount of
money the mnrderers expected to fin1,
they only secured gil. They carried the
body distance of over half mile, and
then threw it into the ditch by the road
side, where it was found. The detectives
have been to the scene, and found the
broken and bloody gun where Nining said
it was hid. The truth of his story is thus
substantiated.
From the Detroit Post. Nov. 10.
Two colored men, William Walker and
Abram Finney, and Mrs Susan Schultz ac-
cused of the murder Of August Schultz,
husband Of the latter, on Saturday night
last, were arraigned before Justice Fecht
Friday morning. The trio were taken from
Jail to the court by a strong guard of police
men, followed by large crowd Of men, wo-
men, and children, all giving vent to their
feelings in domonstrative manner, by
sh outs Of Hang them!" Lynch them y
Down with the niggeTs!" 1t was with
much difficulty that the policemen man
coed to keep off the excited horde, and it
was feared at one time, the crowd bcconl-
ing more and more demonstrative. in4t :.
would be impossible to get the prisoners to
the court. The captives, as prevousy y
stated, confessed all, acknowledging having
committed the crime. To the charge they
all pleaded guilty and were remanded to
Jail to await their trial before the Wayne
circuit court at Its next term. During the
time taken up by the arraignment Of the
prisoners, the crowd which had collected
about the door, seemingly determined to
make up in threats what they lacked in the
ability to accomplish kept up long CON
tinued bowling, interspersed with all man
ner of invectivcs on the heads Of those in
lstody.
