A Terrific Fall.

A correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, writing from
the Alps, says:
You will remember, doubtless,
the attempt of four young English
men, Lord Douglas, the Rev. Mr..
Hudson, Mr.. Whymper, and Mr.,
Hadow-who, with the guides,
Michael Cross, and the two Tang
walders, had succeeded, after al
most incredible efforts, in putting
their feet on the highest pinnacle.
First among men they had at
tanned the unattainable, and full
of the consciousness of their tri-
umph, had already begun their ex-
nlting descent. But the mountain
was not to be defeated of its prey.
In a fatal moment the foot of Mr..
Hadow slipped, the rope by which
1t is customary to lash the travel
ers on such adventurous expedi-
tions together, broke, and three
of the gentlemen, with the guide,
Cross, fell the distance of four thou
sand feet. They were, of course,
never seen again; indeed, SO rapid
was the fall, so terrible the con-
cussion on the ice crags below,
that not a wreck, not vestige of
the unhappy victims was ever
found. The awful abysses of ice
had swallowed them up as ef1ectu-
ally as the depths of the sea swal-
lows its dead.

No Better Than Negroes,

Every member Of the Legisla-
ture who voted for the bill prohib-
iting distinction between negroes
and white men ON railroads and
other public conveyances, thereby
expressed his deliberate opinion
that his wife and daughters are no
better than negroes. Now these
men have perhaps a right to
know about their own women
folks, and we make no issue with
them for calling their own wives
and daughters what they please,
but, for, and in behalf of other
whites, we denounce their opinions
as false and slanderous.-Co Coletm-
bia (7enn.) Herald.

Ing up tickets on his train on Fri

eight summers, who eyed the con-
ductor with.more than ordinary

"No!' was the reply. 4
"You should attend the Sabbath

After many more remarks OF

somewhat astonished when he

The Eufala (Alabama) Me,os
has a good story of a radical Office
seeker, at negro meeting, some
where near that place. Rad. was
trying to get Cuff to understand
that the history of the world de-
monstrated the negro race was not
capable of making Legislators or ru-
lers, but might do very well to as
slst them; that there was no in
stance in history where an African
had ever become ruler among
the whites. After his speech was
closed, an old leader mot opposed
to taking office hirnself) replied
that he was all wrong-that ne
groes had been rulers, and the BIZ
BILE, the highest authority, said so..
When asked where it said SO, his
reply was: "Don't it say that the
old Niger Demus, who came to
Jesus by night, was ruler of the
Jews% This question was un-
answerable, and the gent of the
earpetbag sect subsided.

TsmpIe Of ihe aslasts.
The Autumn of the Heart.

The corn bows its head to the sickle,
The nightingale's murmur is hush'd,
Rain tears from the arbutus' trickle,
Beech fruits in the forest lie crush'd.
We have fought, but the battle is ending;
We are wounded and sick from the fight;
Blue shadows around US descending
Breathe kisses of night
We have journeyed, not needing our danger,
Cried in wild supplication above;
We have loved till our eyes lost their anger,
And hearts became sleepy with love,
Red roses are dying which wreathed US,
We are stampd with the iron that sears;
Dead lovein compassion bequeathedus
Its relic of tears.
All, met but the summer was pleasant.
Shall we die and lie dreaming again?
Would we yield the dull days of the present
For an hour of the past and its pam?
Do we hunger for kisses that stung US?
Or long for the lips that have lied?
Must we stoop for the gauntlet they We flung US?
Weep? creep to their side:
We clinge to these sewers of sorrow;
We cry for blighted caress;
We dream for a night; on the morrow,
We gather the tarcs of distress.
We bow to our grief and privation;
Wepay for the pleasures that cloy
Our work is to build the foundation
They love to destroy.
Oh! women with hearts brimming over
With the passions we never can feel,
The world is too weak to discover
The mystical love you conceal.
Our sorrow, not ours the reproving;
Your triumph, and ours the defeat;
Our lives are made bitter from loving,
Why you are so sweet?

Suspension OF Judge AIdrichs

We published few days since the re-
marks of Judge ALDRICH, of South Carroll
ma, in declining to violate the jury laws OF
the State in obedience to the order OF Gen.
CANDY. We learn that for this act he has
been suspended. The Charleston Mercury
describes the last official act of Judge AID
RICH and gives his remarks upon leaving his
seat, which SO strikingly illustrate the charac-
ter of the upright Judge and incorruptible
man, that we publish them with pleasure.
The Judge was escorted to the Court
room at Barnwell Court House, by the
Sheriff After the warmest greetings from
the members of the bar, he directed the
Clerk to call over the grand and petit ju-
rors, but not to swear them in. The Judge
addressed them, abiding to the sad
memories called up by the deaths of SO
many members of the bar, and referring to
the present condition of the country. He
then read an order of General CANDY In re-
gard to juries, showing how grossly it vlo-
lated the laws of the State which he had
sworn to support, and which conscientious
and constitutional reasons compelled him
not to enforce. He next read an order,
which had just been served upon him, sus
pending and not permitting him to hold
any Courts in his circuit The Judge then
addressed the juries on the Reconstruction
Acts and the powers of the Military Com
manders, which do not include his suspen-
sion. Rising from his seat, he said
Gentlemen In forced obedience to the COM
mand OF Brevet Major Gen. Ed. r. S. CANDY [ Law

no modification at this indignity, because it has
been put upon me for the conscientious discharge
of my constitutional duty. l did not receive nv
Office from him, or from any power which he rep
resents, and he has right to remove me. But
it almost breaks my heart to witness the humilia-
ton of this proud old State, We ali love so well.
In my poor person. Be of good cheer, it is only
for time. see the dawn of a brighter day. The
great heart of the American people beats true tC
constitutional liberty. The time is at hand whe1
we will be relieved from the tyranny and insolenct
of military despotism.
