AFRICAN CIVILIZATION. The latest news
from Abyssinia developcs King Theodore in q
still more bloodthirsty aspect. He had made
an expedition to the small island of Metrata, in
the Lake Tana, and put every inhabitant to death
by fire. then he made trip to Ifag, fourishing
town in Foggara, seized fifteen hundred peasants,
placed them in FIVE large houses and burned
them alive 1t is said there is now not single
man, woman or child alive between Debia Tabor
and Emfras, on the borders of Dembia. In the
camp his majesty has been pursuing the same
game. Having heard that two thousand of his
troops wished to desert, he had them surrounded
BY the others and their throats cut like cattle
the mothers, wives, children and nearest relatives
of the men being pistoled by the seldiery. Two
hundred and ninety-fve chiefs of districts have
had their hands and feet cut off and have been
left to starve. tf fgA'A - 4% -

County Recorder.

1t will be seen by the proceedings of the
Republican Convention that Joseph Rea
failed to receive the nomination for Recor-
der. This Eas contrary to the expectations
we think. of nine -tenths of our citizens,
irrespective of party. For we think all will
agree that the Office was never filled with a
more faithful competent and gentlemanly
officer. He was attentive and obliging, and
his Records are in'the very best Of order
Why was he turned outp Some say that
he was not the choice Of the people. That
is a good reason if true. But no one is
simple enough to believe it. Others say i!
was on account of rotation 10 Office. But
all know, and none better than Mr.. Rea,
himself, that that was a trick fer the occa-
sion-a rnlto be applied just to suit special
cases-a rule however, which may trorble
some of those who got it up at this time
for the purpose of defeating Mr.. Rca.
We mention this matter to call attention
to the fact, that the most competent, and
who are really the choice Of nine -tenths of
the party, frequently fail in getting nomi-
nations. This was the case in tho palmy
days of Knownothingism. The romina-
tion is really made in secret by few party
tricksters, and the public Convention goes
through the farce of ratiiyin9 the same.-
1t may deceive for a short time, but it is
bound to share the fate cf Knownothingism
just as soon as the people see fit to look to
their own interest.

CJPPERHEAD. IT is nearly the season oi
the year to resume the use Of the slang
name of ''Copperhead. 3" 1t is used BY
Radical rascals to frighten men of little
sense into voting against the interest OF
them themselves and the country. None
but knaves and fools nse il, and man who
would be influenced BY such arguments ain I
worth two pounds of soap-fat.
FAIR CHANCE man who eonsid-
ers himself no better than negro, has the
opportunity offered to vote at the next elec.
tion to place negroes on an equality with
himself We would suggest, however that
all our coloredly inclined neighbors practice
on the thing beforehand by associating on
an equality with the few negroes in this
county.
A CHANCE. Those who consider them
selves no better than negroes will have an
opportunity of voting themselves down to
that degraded level at the next election

this county express himself in favor of me-

suppose there are, let them show their dirty

The Weevil lin virginia.

The Richmond Eramnp announces the
appearances of the wheat weevil IN the
neighborhood of that city. 1t has its in
formation from an intelligent farmer, who
estimates the. damage to his own crop from
this cause at twenty-five per cent. He saws
that the insect has thus far confined its
attacks to, the early wheat. The Eran,iaer
remarks that this is the first visit of the
weevil to that part of the country. The
name has indeed been given to an insect
which attacks corn and wheel in graneries:
certainly a very distant relation of the
formidable stranger just arrived. It seems
hard that when the new crop was 'promis.
ing so finely this pest should come in to
threaten and endanger all. 1t is supposed
to have been imported from the Northwest
in seed bought last autumn. .fl 'o''

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN JApAN.-The
Japanese punish murder by decapitation;
parricide and other such heinous crimes by
crucifxion. A prisoner sentenced to death
is taken to the place of execution, surround
ed by the officers, and having hung around
his neck a pIacard, giving his name. age and
rank, with his crime and sentence After
his execution, his head is left suspended in
sight for three days, with the placarl still
hanging to it. Arson is punished by burn
ing the criminal at the stake, yet, as enforc-
ed, this penalty does not bring a very
painful death. The criminal is first kept
on very scanty allowance of food for some
time. Then, before being taken out for
execution he is ove,fed on rich and highly
spiced viands. till he becomes stupid and
indifferent. He is fastened to the stake,
and wood and light materials are heap6d
about him. These are lighted at the same
moment in several different places, and the
victim is smothered by the smoke as quickly
as he could he strangled by rome.

''has always been anti-Christian. The
