Next to loyalty" says the Baltimore
Gazette, there has been nothing half
50 glorified in this country, for the last
six wears. as Civilization" Some
times il has been called christian civ
ilizauon,' sometimes "New England
civilization" and sometimes we have
had il pure and simple. Even loyalty
has been treated, in the very highest
quarters, as mere tributary TO it.
Those splendid exemplars of New En-
gland heroism and virtue, Cen
erals Butler and BANKS and
NEAL Dow, were civilizers. TURCHIN
and BROwNLOw. MACNEIL and THOMAS,
belonged to the same goodly fellowship.
Not a watch nor spoon was fobbed,
not a house burned nor a piano, picture
OF bracelet sent TO Boston or elsewhere,
hut was, in come mysterious way, trib-
utary to civilization. Rape and murder
were apostles of the same evangel.
Cotton -jobbers and tobaccO-smugglers-
loyal creditors and extortioners, hunt
ing down disloyal moneys-were all en-
gagged in preaching it and doing its
work. The Military Bill has just
ushered in its millenium and its gorged
lions will soon be lying down by its
shorn lambs, with q halo of blessed
confiscation round their jaws.

The Hnlt Lake Telegraph

Is responsible for the following
"crane" story: We are informed that a
young lady of this city has had in keep
ing a pet crane for some time past,
which has now become so domesticated
that, like the coffin Of Mrs. TOodles,
it is very handy to- have about the
house. One of the most marvellous feats
of the pet is its passion for perching on
sewing machine, and there watching
the operations of the steamless engine.
One day, to the astonishment of the
spectators, the crane stood erect there
on, then reaching down to the foot
stand, it set the machine in
motion, and commenced sewing
with vigorous application OF
nerve. We confess this is rather
strange story to believe, but the local
source from whence it is derived, leaves
no doubt as to its truth. :.

A New Jersey man visited the Queen
of Madagascar., She sent an escort OF
palace officers to conduct him to the
throne, where she sat in state with her
ministers around her, and large num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen, all in Eu-
ropean costumes, the Queen wearing a
white brocade with a Hammelyn cloak
hanging from the shoulder. She arose
and extended her hand for him to kiss,
and he kissed her white kids according
to court etiquette. The Queen is about
fifty years of age, quite tall and
well educated, and quite graceful.
A great deal Of gold and en-
broidery was displayed in the Court
dresses Of those present, and the display
was really quite brilliant. After fifteen
minutes he withdrew. The next day
he dined with the Chief Minister, per in.
vitation. The dinner took from p. m.
to 10 at night, and was given in q
splendid hall, with fine band of music
playing before the forty guests. The
dinner and wine could not be excelled
even in Europe. The finest china ant
silver sets adorned the table.

The Bankrupt Law.

But little is yet known in regard to
the manner OF proceeding under tine
bankrupt law, passed by Congress-
The forms and rules of practice have
vet to be fixed by the courts, but.the
following facts, which We take from
the Legal Intelligencer, will be found in
teresting to the general reader:
There can be no application received
under this law until June l, 1867. The
forms of procedure, and rules Of prac-
tice, and the fee bill are meanwhile to
be established by the Judges Of the Su-
preme Court, and the Chief Justice is
to nominate and the District Courts
to appoint one or more Registers in
bankruptcy for each Congressional Dis
trict. In voluntary bankruptcy, the
mode of procedure prescribed in section
eleven aud subsequent sections, is by
petition of the bankrupt (the requisitions
of which are fully set forth,) to the
Judge of the District Court in the dis
trict he shall have resided in six months
prior to his application on filing which
he is to be declared bankrupt. He pays
fifty dollars to the clerk of the court on
filing his petition, to pay costs. Thereup-
on a warrant issues to the marshal of the
district, who gives notice to the credit.
ors and others by advertisement, (and
otherwise rs directed in the warrant,
of the said decree, and of meeting of
creditors to be held from ten to sixty
days afterwards. At this meeting,
which is held before register appoint
ed by the court, the assignee is chosen
or appointed and the property of the
bankrupt is vested in him as directed
BY the act. Where there is no oppo-
sition on the part of creditors, the bank.
rupt may file his application for final
discharge, and obtain the same sixty
days after the decree of bankruptcy.
Notice of the final petition is to be Civ
en- to all creditors proving debts.

BARNUM'S experiences as q candidate
before the people are rather bitter. He
has been conducting very ,fatiguing
and discOuraging canvass in the Con-
sressional district which he desires to
represent, and is beginning to realize
that his record is rather strong for the
popular stomach. People don't "like to
be humbugged" near so much a. he sup
posed. Every device, artifice and cheat
with which he has heretofore deluded
and swindled the public. is now
rising up in judgment against
him. He finds that the very
people over whom he has r often
vaunted his superiority as Snowman,
are decidedly too many for him in the
realm of politics. Every time he essays
TO speak, he observes on the part Of his
audience tenacity of memory and .

even his own friends cannot restrain

in which the incorrigible populace ars
accustomed to resurrect the buried
memories of giants, dwarfs, fat-women

The Piiiery ind the Whipping Pest
TT D;,tsLurr TLronicLe of Tuesiay

says:
A New York paper having stated that
colored man had been stood recently
in the pillory at Columbia, florida, the
first punishment of the kind made in
that State since the downfall Of the
Confederacy, the Wilmington (Dela-
ware) Daily Commercial replies that the
whipping post and the pillory are as
much an Institution i'm that State now
as they were when men and women
were sold like beasts in that region.
Perhaps our cOtemporary will be
somewhat surprised to learn that these
barbarous 'institutins" are not peculiar
10 rebel States like Florida, OF Copper
head communities like Delaware. They
are also u part of the "loyal civiliza-
,ion" with which West Virginia has
been 'harmonized." Our patriotic
lawmakers, when ''liftins us into
harmony with the century, saw
no reason for dispensing with
such potent and persuasive agents OF
CORRECTION and reform as the lash and
the whipping post. To be sure there,
isa tacit understanding that no cow
skin shall ever excoriate the immacu-
late hide of the Ethiopian, and if such
m outrage as negro fogging should
,ccur. the ..fiendish barbarity' would
receive. as il would deserve, the uni
yerSal reprobation of indignant 10y
alty." But forthe wholesome discipline
and salutary modification of offending
white flesh, the old fashioned whipping
most is still found to be necessary ana
nseful. Only last Fall, in the town OF
Clarksburg, an incorrigible rascal who
with no other justification than
hunger. had stolen piece oi
bacon. from somebody's smoke-house,
was handed over to the tender mercies
of the shsriff-s lash. The allotted
stripes were duly and quite vigorously
applied, and strange to say, neither the
philanthropy nor the civilization OF the
country was at all exercised by the IN
cident. As the subject of the castiga-
lion was only "a poor white devil,'
there was no reason why anybody's
rquanimity should be disturbed, but If
his welted cuticle had been tawny in
stead of fair, our savage criminal
code" would have been justly visited
with the heap-up anathemas of univer-
sal loyal Yankeedom.

An exciting case, lasting several days,
terminated last week, at Circle Tille.
VIM. n Moore was tried for an attempt
to commit a rape, and was declared
guilty. As soon as the verdict was
made known, his cousel demanded a
new trial. This the court refused to
grant, and on Wednesday morning the
prisoner was brought in, and Judge
Green sentenced him to Imprisonment
