Regularly Sold,

Two gentlemen from New York, one
of whom had been in California nearly a
year, and the other just arrived, were
accidentally overheard in the following
conversation. The new conner was la
menting his condition, and his folly in
leaving an abundance at home, and es-
pecially two beautiful daughters who
we're just budding into womanhood--
when he asked the other if he had q
family:
"Yes, sir, have a wife and six chill
dren in New York-and | never saw one
of them"
After this the couple sat few mo-
ments in silence, and then the interrOga-
tor again commenced:
"Were you ever blind, sir ?"
No, sir
"Did you marry a widow, sir
"No, sir.
Another lapse of silence.
Did | understood you to say, sir,
that you had a wife and six children liv-
ing in New York and that you had never
seen one of them "
Yes, sir-I so stated it.
Another and long pause of silence
Then the interrogator again inquired:
How can it be, sir, that you never
saw one of them ? "
why" the response was, lone of
them was born after left.
"0hi ahl" and a general laugh fol.
lowed.
After that the first New Yorker was
especially distinguished as the man
who had six children and never saw one
Of them"

New England Women Unfit for Maternity.

DR.. Allen, of Lowell, read a paper be-
fore the Massachusetts Social Science
Association, on "The population of
Massachusetts,, and changes in the phys
ical organization of females in relation
to the laws of human increase" DR..
Allen said it was generally understood
that the birth rate in any prosperous
country ought to be about one in thirty
but the birth rate of the native popula-
tion in Massachusetts is only about one
in forty. A similar state of affairs exists
in most Of the other New England States
A comparison made one year between
Vermont and England showed the birth
rate in Vermont to be one in forty-nine,
against one in twenty nine in England.
The only New England State where
there is healthy increase of the native
population is Maine.
After referring to the subject of alb
sorption, its prevalence, and its effect
upon society, DR.. Allen said
For some time the physical organiza.
ton of New England women has been
changing unfavorably for the production
of offspring. This change has been
brought about by the neglect of domestic
labor and muscular exercise, of wrong
habits of dress and diet and incorrect
systems of education, and the result is a
multiplicity of weaknesses and pains
which we're unknown to our grandmcth-
ers, and are unknown to English, Irish,
and German women. The present sys-
tenn of education tends to the excessive
development of the nervous tempera-
ment, and this impairs the strength Of
the system and renders women incom-
pe;ent to fulfill the duties of maternity.
The true remedy for these changes in
physical organization of females will be
found in increased physical exercise
and muscular development, reforms in
dress, diet, and education, and a more
intelligent consideration Of proper pur-
poses of the marriage relation.

Unparalleled Outrage.

One of the most shocking and horrible
events ever known to history occurred
last week in Maryland, by which the
daughter of one Of the most prominent
and wealthy citizens of Cumberland
county has been reduced to q condition
thousand times worse than death.
Mr.. Charles Deane, resident of
Brady's Mills, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, a gentleman of education, and
possessor of the large mill aad other
property in the village, had an only
daughter, named Bessie, young lady
not quite seventeen, possessed ofrefine-
ment and every virtue and accomplish
ment which nature could give or money
procure. She had form of exquisite
symmetry and grace, and rare voice
which cultivation had trained to pro-
duce the most perfect harmony she
was indeed charming singer and belle
of the country.
For some months past there has been
prowling around Brady's Mills most
ogreish looking mulatto, supposed to
have formerly been the slave Of brother
of Mr.. Deane, living in Georgia.
This monster has lived in filthy hut
at the foot of Brady's Mountain, with an
old woman who seemed to be mistress,
mother and housekeeper, all in one. No
one knew his name. but by the wags os
the town he was designated as Dan
Scrunch.
On Monday, the I'd of September, Miss
Bessie being at home, having left school
at Baltimore, where she was attending,
or aooovnt &c Al. sa-,oug ,llpauu of bar
mother, went, unaccompanied, to spend
the afternoon with neighbor, some dis
tance away, aud returning in the early
evening around the mountain, a sudden
thunder shower came on, and meeting
Dan, was induced by him to seek shelter
in the hut.
Alas poor child; no sooner had the
door been shut than the fendish demon
seized upon her, and, despite her pier
cling screams and struggles, and in the
presence of the old witch woman, he
committed upon the most ehaste virgin
the foulest outrage Of which the human
mind can conceive or man is capable.
He then dragged her insensible form out
of the hut The cool air revived her,
and again her lips uttered shrill cry,
when this savage beast, in human shape,
standing upon her PROSTATE form, with
the insane idea Of putting it out Of her
power to tell Of the crime, crushed open
her mouth with the heel Of his boot, and
with his byens claws he tore the poor
girls tongue from her throat A small
boy, driving the cows in the vicinity,
hearing the scream, gave the alarm but
before help had arrived the fend had
fed. The excruciating torture Of the
delicate sufferer, and the frantic anguish
Of the parents, no Imagination can con-
ceive. She is said 10 be in a dying con-
ditioR-m0rtifcation having set in, and
her invalid mother can no longer sur
vive The shock. Dan Scrunch is still at
large. The old woman was taken into
custody the next morning, and stated
that tie brute returned during the night

direction, and he cannot long escape

We copy as follows from the New York
Journal Of Commerce
Several months ago person came to
tho president of an Insurance company,
with the request that he would insure, in
the sum of ten thousand dollars, his
schooner, her tackle and machinery
What machinery does your schooner
carry asked the insurer The appli-
cant for insurance hesitated for little,
but finally said: may as we'll tell you
the whole story; / have a schooner load
of molasses; Ihave also still on board ;
| want to insure my vessel for voyage
between here and Boston, with the un.
derstanding that she may anchor in the
Sound, long enough to turn the stuff into
whisky
"0f course he did not mean to pay
revenue duties on the whisky.
"There are in this city, places where
clay stills can be bought they cost about
one hundred dollars, we are told and
the loss, if they are coniscated, is, Of
course, so slight that one days success
ful run will moro than pay for it.
There is q man in Ohio who was, flve
years ago. WOrtu Tess tnhu tuOushHu
dollars and who is now worth million.
He is whisky distiller. Yet it is noto.
rious that honorable men engaged in
distilling have met with serious losses,
and there is general complaint that a
distiller who pays the Government tax
cannot make living.
In 1860 ninety million gallons Of
whisky were manufactured in the United
States; in 1866 the Government col
lected the tax only on fourteen millions
Yet there is reason to believe that over
one hundred and fourteen million gallons
were made in that year; and there is
reason to believe that the Government
lost nearly two hundred million dollars
last year by frauds in the whisky manu-
facture alone"

A Minister'S fdsa Of choIrs.


Rev. DR.. T. De Witt Talmadge, of the
Second Dutch Reformed Church, Of Phil
adelphis, is the correspondent of reli =
gious paper in New York city. His last
article was upon the subject of church
music. The learned and courageous
minister is opposed to modern choir sing
ing, and expresses his views Fat footedly,
as follows:
"When four woodlarks are allowed to
do all the singing in the forest, and four
seraphs all the singing of heaven, then
can our Protestant churches afford to
depend for singing upon four persons,
who stand in the loft, with their throats
yet sore from singing at the opera, exc
cutting their fugue tune aud torturing
our good old hymns in the following style /:
"Ohi for man
oh for a man
OH for a man-sisn in the skies.
Wen catch the Zee
Wen catch the fee
Wen catch the hee-ting hours.
PITY our pol
Pity our pei
Pity our polluted souls
Hell take the pil
He'll take the rii
Hen take the pilgrim home.
with reverence let the saints appear
And bow-oW-oW before the Lord
