An EsanImauX Relief.

In distant country there once lived
an unmarried woman, who had several
brothers. Being once at festive gath
ering, she felt herself suddenly and
violently seized by the shoulders. This
she we'll knew was a declaration of love,
for such is the custom of her people;
but who the man was she could not dis
cover, since the hut was quite dark.
There being, 20 her knowledge, no
men IN the village besides her brothers,
she at once suspected that it must be
one of these. She broke from him,
and RAINING away smeared her hand
with SCOT and oil. Upon returning to
the Int she was seized again, and this
time she blackened one side of the face
of her unknown lover. A lighted taper
being brought soon afterward, her sns-
picions were confirmed. Selling the
taper, she now ran out of the hut, and
bounded over the rocks with the fleet
of deer.
Her brother lighted taper and pur-
sued her; but his light soon went out,
yet he still continued the chase, and
without overtaking her. they came to
the end of the earth. Determined not
to be caught, the girl then sprang out
into the heavens. Her brother follow
ed her; but he stumbled while in the
act OF springing, and before he could
recover himself. the object of his pur-
suit was far away from him.
Still bent upon gaining the prize, he
continued the race, and from that time
until this, the sun has been going
around and around, and the moon
around and around after her, trying
still to catch her. The bright light OF
the sun is caused by the tapers which
the maiden carries; while this moon,
having lost his taper, is cold, and could
not be seen but for his sisters light.
One side of his face being smeared
with SCOT, is therefore black, while the
other side is Clean. and he turns one
side or the other toward the earth, as
suits his pleasure.-Dr. Hayes Arctic

ARemarkabIe story.

[From the New York Gazette
In the American department at Paris
there is on exhibition some gold en-
broideTy which attracts universal adj
miration. The richness of the material
and the elegance of the workmanship
is unequaled. Lit is from an American
lady. Her husband is New York
publisher. He lives in great style. He
has his fine house, dashing teams, and
is emphatically fast. His wife is not
allowed to dwell under his roof. She
is an elegant and accomplished lady,
on whose fame not breath of sus-
picion has rested. But deserted, and
no provision made for her maintenance,
she resolved TO turn her accomplish
ments to a good account. This lady
called On Nine. Demorest and told her
stOry-exhibited her skill, and found
full employment and fair compensa-
ton. For years she has earned COM
Portable subsistence, and ~ esteemed
by all who know her. Kings and
Queens bend over her handy work in
Paris with admiration. BY little and
little her story has leaked out, aud
great interest is attached to it. With
her needle and patient endurance she
will make a name In the world.

We learn from passenger on the j.
H. Lacy, on her down trip, that the
river has washed away the neck of land,
which was about 800 yards wide, above
Sidney or Hamsturg. Iowa, leaving that
town on the Nebraska side of the river,
and adding some thousand acres to that
state. The Lacy arrived at that point
in the evening, and her only channel
lay through that cutoff. through which
the water was rushing somewhat SINH
lar to the falls at Louisville. All the
steam she could raise was let on, and
at speed of abOut 30 miles an hour
she successfully ploughed through the
awful current, among floating trees and
debris, being the first boat that made
the passage. Had she not been a
staunch steamer and we'll directed, she
could not have made the trip.

A Marriage.

A great marriage has been celebrated
in Paris-that of the famous scuiptress,
known in the world of art as MAR.
cello" but in society as the duchess oi
Colonna. She exhibited bust, last
year, at the royal academy, which, fol
power, grandeur, and poetic concep-
ton, was the gem OF the collection.
She has married an Italian prince.
This lady is the daughter of the Count
d'Affry, colonel of Swiss regiment in
1880, and granddaughter of the Count
d'Af1ry, who was major general of the
Swiss guard of Louis XVI. The Ouch
ess, who is young, beautiful aud gifted,
with rare intelligence, is highly es-
teemed in Paris, both in the official
and fashionable world, and lives on
terms of intimacy with the Able Gre
try, NJ. Theirs, M. Lamartine, and all
that is intelligent and ilIustrious in the
society of the capital. Her first hus-
band died six months after their mar
rage. The Colonna family, as is
known, is one of the most eminent in
Rome; it derives its name from the cir
that one of its ancestors
brought home, In 1926, a portion of the
pillar to which jesus Christ was bound
when he suffered flagellation. Pope
Martin V. and great number of emil
nent warriors sprang from that
family. I-.

BRIBERY AT ENGLISH ELECTIONS -
Lord Derby recently gave, in the
House of Lords, the following sum-
mary of the iniquities of Lancaster,
Yarmouth, TOtnes, and Reigate-the
four boroughs which have been dis
franchised as unfit to return members
to Parliament. At Totnes, e21, 900
were spent by rival candidates between
December, 1862, and August, 1865,
principally in corrupting 421 voters;
out of 364 electors who voted in 1865,
exactly one-half are scheduled as hav-
ing been guilty of bribery; and in the
whole borough there is scarcely a single
voter who could he said to have exer-
cised his right of voting In an indepen-
dent manner. In Yarmouth place
which had already been once purified
by the elimination of the freemen ele-
ment out of l645 voters, no less than
52S are scheduled as having been guilty
of bribery. In Lancaster, where there
are 1866 electors, at the election 1865
the expenses of the four candidates
were ETA, $50, about e10 per elector,
and 973 voters ara scheduled as having
been guilty of bribery and corrupt
practices; and i'll Reigate, where there
are 800 electors, 100 of whom voted at
the election of 1866, SAG accepted
brides.

among others. In the comparison o.
the human brain due regard had no
been paid to the modification of the
simian type IN the New World. 2
That from Darwin'a point of view, two
centuries belonging to types originally
different might truce their descent from
one or several common ancestors; bui
one could not have descended from
the other. M. Quatrefages also per.
ceives an essential difference of type

A GOOd story.


They tell a story of how the Rev.
DIR. Bethune-nOw dead--a wit, a
scholar, and an eloquent divine-was
once put in a queer position by an en-
thusiastic friend.
The doctor at the time was settled
over a congregation in Brooklyn, and
was very popular. A Connecticut con-
gregation gave him call, and "caIled"
a Thousand dollars better per annum
than the Brooklyn people. But he had
formed a strong attachment for his par
ishiOners, and. thinking that his sphere
of service could not be changed to adj
vantage, he was not tempted by an IL
crease of salary. So he remained, to
the great delight of his people.
All of the doctors parishioners were
not saints. There were a few sinners
among them-else why preach the COS
pei And among the last was a wealthy
aud iovial pewholder, fond of lush,
and apt at times to get more than he
could conveniently carry. Neither was
he particular at what time OF the day
he got drunk. He suited his molina
ton and had no method in his cups.
Bilkins-well, that was not his name,
but it will not dO-Bilkins heard of the
doctors refusal, and he was delighted.
In the very height of his pleasure he
crossed Fulton ferry. carrying about a
quart of brandy.
DIR. Bethune crossed in the same
boat, carrying an umbrella.
The brandy carrier happened to
catch sight of the umbrella-carrier,
and at once staggered towards him,
exclaiming in his lOudest tones:
How do you do, DIR, Bethune? Let
me take your-hic-hand,m my dear sir
r-r-r / am proud to testify-yi-yi
my respect for you, sir. "
''Speak little lower, if you please,
Mr.. Filkins," murmured Dr. Bethune.
"Yes-s-s, sir! you've stood by your
pulpit like a man. Them cussed nut
meg grinding, ham carving Yankees
wanted to take you away from us-Of-
fered you a thousand dollars year

crowd was fixed on the couple. DR..

A PLAGUE OF MOSQUITOES. Brook
lyn Heights and the lower part of New
York were last evening suddenly struck
with u plague of mosquitoes, which
swept upon these districts in enormous
numbers, and for while were a real
torment. In some parts of Brooklyn
Heights, on streets where the houses
were exposed to the prevailing south
easterly wind, it was impossible to sit
comfortably for the rayenous little in
sects, which were doubtless blown in
from the flats in the lower bay.
In Brooklyn it is a curious fact that
while houses on streets running east
and west or nearly SO, were filed with
mosquitoes, those on cross streets In
many cases escaped the plague.
la New York the mosquitoes lunched
upon the diners. About 6 O'Clock
clouds of the pests invaded the dining
rooms, and the play of knife and fork
alternated with vigorous slappings of
bitten hands and faces. Later IN the
evening the mosquitoes found their
way to the roofs, whittier the pestered
public had fled for relief, and at night
invaded the sleeping chambers and
made sound rest impossible N T..

Execution Of Jerry O'grIen.

From the N. Y. World, Aug. 10 ]
Jerry O'Brien, who on the Goth of
June, 1866, murdered his mistress, Kate
Smith. by plunging a knife into her
back in the house where she lived, was
hung TO death yesterday morning at the
Toombs The hardwood, that did not
seem to desert him IN prison for long
time before aud after his trial, at last
gave way. When brought to the foot
of the scaffold, face to face with a fate
that greater criminals have met with
decent firmness, and that some innocent
men have almost ennObled by the man
ner of their going off, he appeared the
guilty minded coward that he was.
This man, in life and at deaths door,
was n type of an ignoble class of men
"a class known of many bars, and
brothels, and gambling hells, and con
cert saloOns--a class who ultimately
sink so low that they can even consent
TO be supported by the wages of sinful
and infatuated women. Such men are
dangerously situated. Jealousies are
frequently provoked among them. They
carry arms; and, as in the case of tins
O'Rrien, who has just been HING, they
sometimes use them. When they use
them they are usually drunk. 1t is a
Idrunkard's courage that incites a man
to stab defenceless female in the back
And it Is this drunkard's courage
which used to be so frequently displayed
in rows among firemen, and is still
manifested in bouts among the lowest
dens of the metropOlis-that was mis-
taken for a good fighting quality and
an element of sol3ierly herOism. The
fallacy was stripped naked in several
battles where such men were engaged
It was conclusively shown that the
variable pluck of a bully was very
different thing from the bravery of a
man in whose nature courage was eth
er inherent or founded on pride and
guarded by a sensitive sense of shame.
1t was proved beyond doubt, on oc-
casions where troops were forced to lie
inactive under the fire of distant artil-
lery, or march, with muskets loaded
and In hand without firing, hundreds
of yards against a tempest of mimic
balls ON the eve of charge against the
enemy's works, that the DULLES drop
ped off or sneaked away, and that the
pale, stern, unboastful heroes of the
tight went on. The contrast between
the bearing of the rebel Capt. Beale
and that of the murderer O'Brien at
the scaffold tells the same story. Death
is too terrible a foe for the ruffian to
face deliberately without wincing.
