A few years ago, in the shire Of Edinburg,
a splendid Newfoundland dog might have
been seen every day visiting every pond o.
brook IN the neighborhood If his master q
residence. 1t had been instrumental more
than once IN saving persons from erie~ous
death in the water. He was respected for
his magnanimity, and caressed for his ania-
Bile qualities, till, strange as it may be con
sidered. this hattery completely turned his
head. Saving Of life from drowning became
q passion. He took to II as humanity takes
TO dram drinking. Not having sufficient scope
for the exercise of his diseased benevolence
In the district, he took a very questionable
method Of supplying the deficiency. When>
ever he found child on the brink of the
water, be watched patiently for the opportu-
nifty. aud placing its fore paws suddenly on
its person. plunged il in before it was aware
Now all this was done for the mere purpose
Of fetching them out again. He appeared to
ind intense pleasure in this nensensical Fort
of work AT last the outcry became so great
by parents alarmed for their children, al
though no life was ever lost by the indulgence
of such singular taste. that the poor dog
was relu unity destroyed. We saw fine

BILE Teaching.

Late intelligence from the Lamoa Islands
continue to be favorable. Two more of the
islands, Naitupu aud Nui, have been supplied
with teachers, making FIVE in all. and leaving
three still uuyisited. One OF these three,
Niutao, has population of two thousand,
who have already burnt their heather temple
and Idols. The teacher of Naitupu writes as
follows.
We reached Yaitupu on the I'd of No
vember. You know that the whole land had
abandoned heathenism, and were desiring
Christianity We found only one thing that
they were practising when We arrived-a
great many, both old and young. had two
wives. When we arrived, they asked wheth

to have two wives. ] told them ii was. They
then consulted together, and concluded tha,
1t would be well to have only one wife each !;
and so II is now.

great delight in learning, are exceedingly
kind, and have built chapel sixty feet by
thirty nine. which was only three weeks in
building. The rulers Of the little community
are careful to manage their political matters

Our little table is spread for two;
With quaint old china, gold asd bans. Sv
Weird things are wrought on the homely wallis,
As the conjuring freligAt climbs and falls.

Filled to the brim by the busiest hands.
Wife mirrors her face in the silver tongs;

And n woman wrnging her hands in grief.
She kneels in prayer; q whirling wheel
Grows out Of the dead ships plank and keel
She stands in the spinner, toiling place.
TIL the rose on her cheek hath lost it, gracs.

Yet the hungeriug spindle ne'er is full

With O vacant boat on n sailless sea-

" Tell. love, pray, Of the ship on the reef
And the woman wringing her hands in grief;

And the hungering spindle that ne'er grew full y
There are tears imprisoned within her eyes,
Which are lossened soon, ~ her voice replies:
Woman will dream and man will build
And each will have prophecies unful6lled."

negro Suffrage.

1t is certainly the purpose Of the more ad.
vanced and most active leaders of the radical
party to force negro suffrage upon the loyal
States a. well as upon the Sou.h. Sumner,
Wendell Phillips and some others do not hest
tate to avow that As soon 90 the strong arm
Of central power shall have finished the work
of Africanizing the South, then these revolu-
tionsts will insist that the same power be
applied TO force negro suffrage upon the loyal
States, whether the people wish II or not 1t
structlves can 60. 1t may be that the repub-
lican party will 60 with them to any length in
overriding the constitution, common sense and
everything else I; but there are some indica-
tons Of split in the party. The views Of
Senator Trumbull, AZ published In q Chicago
paper, show that he does not endorse tho
Sumner negro programme with regard to tho
loyal States. Mr.. Trumbull is ono OF the most
powerful men Of his party, and very radical
in many respects, but be cannot swallow quite
such large revolutionary dose. We are iu-
clined TO believe, from the views OF this
leading Senator, which are ably expressed,
that a reaction and split will take place In
the republican party on the negro question.
The more sensible and conservative begin TO
think that Niger fanaticism has been carried
quite far enough, or too far. The sooner this
reaction comes the better for the peace and
welfare Of the country, North and South.
