VARIOUS AND RANDOM PARAGRAPHS.
= Helper whe wrote the impending Crisis In
1860, has taken new position, in which he de-
scrbes the negro as 'the incorrigbe and grovefing
icnoramus upon whom it is proposed to confer at
once the privilege of votfng-the right of universal
suffrage! This is the loathsome and most e1ecra-
Bile wretch frank smelling and hdeOas arch-crimi-
nal that he is) who has been mentioned as one fit
10 have voice in the enactment of the laws for
the government of the American people
= The Albany Euening Journal takes novel
view Of female suffrage. 1t says:
..Women at the ballot-box will be followed by
women in the jury box How delightful it will
then be to serve ones country. The class OF pro,
fcssional jurymen will increase wonderfully. AND
there will be no objection to staying out all night
knotty and interesting case, either"
- The National IntelligsnceT, ad7erting to the
fact that the orders of the military commandaDts
constituting the reconstruction act, and defining the
right to vote, differs from the sopinion' of the
Attorney General, says: '.Wc have good reasons
to believe THAT Instructions founded upon the ideas
of the chief legal officer of the Government, will be
given in due time, in more categorical manner
and in such form as to render compliance matter
of m itary as well as civil duty"
The Mariana (Fla.) Courier states that one
Captein Hamilton, of the Freedmen's Bureau, or
dered the arrest of two or three young ladies Of
that place. upon the charge of desccratng the graves
of Union soldiers. Considerable excitement was
created by the proceeding. The ladies, with their
friends, made their appearance before the Captain,
and IN Investigation was had, in which no reliable
evidence was introduced to support the charge,
and the young ladies were Immediately released
from arrest.
= About sixteen years ago Samuel State, of
Richhill township, Greene county, Penn, married
his cousin, Cassandra State After three children
born 10 them, about the year 1856, State went
to California. He wrote home several times in the
course of year or Two after he went there, and
that he was dead, married Jonas Chess some time
in 1909 Chess went into the army and died.
few weeks ago State, the first husband returned
from California, to find his wife married, and
widow. There is no legal obstacle in the wny Of
resuming their first engagement.
= The statement that an American lady, cast
into shipwreck on Fjian island, was eaten by
the natives, while they substituted her chignon for
their principal idol and worshipped.it, is denied.
Whether true or not, the ready crcdencc given to
the story was natural, and is easily accounted for:
The Fijians are known to select the most hideous
objects for idols. Another story connected with
the monstrous appendage and quite as credible as
the other, has also been exploded. 1t was to the
effect that the body of shpwrecked English lady,
found on the Norwegian coast by some rude and
supersitious fishermen, was mistaken by them for
mermaid, whose head had become inextricably
entangled in fish net
= There is approaching completion in Bal
timore an immense edifce which will be occupied
by the ST. James Roman Catholic congregation.
Some idea of the extent of the building may be
formed from the fact that it required one million
eight hundred thousand bricks in its erection, and
it will seat comfortably three thousand persons on
the ground floor. The work of ffescong is done
by the priests known as the Rcdemptorists. The
principal sum required to erect This immense spc-
cimen of architecture was raised by weekly coutri-
buttons from members ofthe congregation ftwen-
y-6ve cents EACH. 1t is one oftbe most attractive
and imposing buildings in the city.
= An army officer who has travelled through
Russian America, writes to the Buffalo Express that
the climate is not at an unendarable there are no
extreme colds in the winter season, and much of
the summer is hot-unvomfortaby SO. The eli
mate is probably as healthy as any other conti-
nent. The country cannot be made valuable as an
agricultural region, although in the vicinity of Sit
ka good vegetables nre profusely raised. But yet
its timber, its furs, and its fisheries wI be iuYalu-
able. The former is of spruce, excellent in quail
ty; the fur bearing animals of the interior are
plenty, embracing all kinds except the sable, and
yielding furs of unsurpassable texture; while the
fisheries will make unfailng resource of nation
al wealth.
