The news from Michigan is a
death blow to the Mongrelists and
Impeachers. Last year the Re-

down a new Constitution confer
ring negro suffrage, by an over
whelming vote. The impeach-

The LATEST CRAVEN" PARo,

The --LATEST CRAVEN" Parody
Numerous have been the parodies
which that feverish, imaginative, yet
exquisitely forcible and Justly cele-
brated poem of Edgar A. Poe, '"The
Raven" has inspired. But the fol-
lowing, from the pen of some tired
editor out West, who had apparently
fallen asleep, Immediately after read
ing 'The Raven" is the most anus
ing jumble Of the character we have
ever seen:
The other night while we lay mus
ing, and our brain confusing over the
topics of the day, suddenly we heard
rattling, as of serried hosts q bat
tling, as they wrangled in their fury.
What is that, we cried upstarting,
slap! we ran against the door. Oh.
It's nothing, Muggins grumbled as
DER huge arm chair we stumbled,
tits bug and nothing more. Then
said we, our anger rising, flor we
thought it surprising that bug
should SO offend,) do you think a
small insect. sir, thus the whole room
Wouli luucCI, Sit' mo! us nOU Dug,
my friend. Now becoming surely
frightened, round our waists our
pants we frightened, and put on our
hat, then into the darkness peering
we saw with trembling and much
fearing, the glaring eyes of Thomas
Cat!
With astonishment and wonder we
gazed upon this son of thunder, as
he sat upon the floor; when q resolu-
ton taking, and rapid movement
making, 10! we opened wide the
doorl Now, clear out, we hoarsely
shouted, as DER head our boot we
tiouted, take your presence from our
floor. Then with air and mien ma
Jestic, this dear creature called do
mestic, made his exit through the
door. Made his exit without growl-
ing, neither was his voice heard
bowling. Not word he said. And
with feelings much elated to escape
doom SO fated, we went slowly back
to bed.

DIvoRoEs.-In reading the numer-
GUS exchanges which reach us, we are
struck with the large array of divorce
cases chronicled.
In our land, where such things are
OF rare occurrence, we are amazed at
seeing the marriage rites so often
broken, apparently for no just cause,
save by whim or caprice.
In Vermont, during the last five
years, not less than 5Y4 divorces have
been granted; for adultery Ga, will
full desertion 1873, desertion GO,
intolerable severity 1875, for refusal
to support IS, with 90 others for
causes that are not mentioned.
In Massachusetts, for the same
time, 1,254 divorces have been grant
ed; for adultery 546, desertion $50,
cruelty 122, intemperance 21-here
the ratio for adultery is startling.
In Ohio, out of 2,6S1 cases granted
for divorce, 635 were for adultery;
1,130 for absence or neglect; for
cruelty 4SO; for intemperance 1876.
In Vermont, during seven years,
1910 marriages have taken place;
out of which 730 divorces have oc-
Cured, being l to 81.
lu Massachusetts. for four years,
there were 1872 marriages, and di-
vorces in ratio l to A..
In Ohio, for the year 1866, the
marriages were 30,379; and divorces
in ratio l to 26. -.
In Connecticut. during the last
eight years, the marriages were 80. =
227; the divorces in ratio l to IL.
Thus, Connecticut, the land of
steady habits. is at the bottom of the
list.
There are more divorces in that
State than in Massachusetts,, with ten
and half times the population; and
more than half as many in Ohio, q
State with five times the population.
1t is also remarkable in the New
England States, that they do not in
crease in population, save among the
Irish.

Affairs I'm Washington.

WASHINGTON, September Q. Some
twenty parties throughout the United
States, connected with the Blank
Department of the. post office, were
indicted in Michigan. Under this
Indictment o. Redding, Blank
Agent for the Southern States in the
9th Auditors Office; VIM. Towers,
Chief Clerk of the superintendent
of Public Printing, were arrested.
The prisoners were discharged, on
the ground that they could not be
tried on an Indictment found in Mi
chigan for an offence committed in
Washington. Judge Wiley, who
discharged them, did not investigate
the guilt of the prisoners as charged
in the indictment. r.
Gen. Orlando Brown, and a dozen
minor officers of negro troops, acting
as Bureau functionaries, have been
mustered out; they will continue
their functions in the Bureau as civil
ians.

The New York Herald, of this
morning, has an editorial on news
papers and the internal revenue.
stating it has been served with o.
notice of tax due on its business,
and unless paid the usual remedy
would be enforced. It is not inform.
ed under what law this attempt to
tax the press is made, and styles it a
forced and absurd construction of
the Act, by ignorant assessors. The
whole tenor of the revenue laws, as
regards the press, shows that Con
gress did not intend to tax news
papers. Incomes from newspaper
business pay tax the same as other
incomes, but the business itself is
not taxed. It announces its inten-
ton to resist the construction put on
the law by the assessors, ana believes
the press generally will do the same.

No SQUIRREL SIGN.-Some years
ago, when Col. Kinney, of Texas,
had circulated his advertisements Of
rich lands, for sale cheap, some old
Tennesseeans, becoming attracted by
the notice, visited that State for the
purpose of purchasing new homes.
They first visited the Oso country,
accompanied by Col. Kinney and
Capt. Britton. While they were re-
calling themselves at lunch, under
the shades of the mezquit trees, one
OF the young Tennesseeans mounted
his horse and left the party to pros
pect the country. Hours elapsed and
he did not return. In the evening.
the main party left for Corpus Chris.
ii. Late in the evening the young
Tennesseean arrived in town, but
looked rather sad. He approached
his father, when the following con-

K Young Ten.-"Dad, this country

Old Ten.-"Why not, son?"
Young Tent have travelled up

Old Ten, much disappointed,
hung his head, and after meditating

If the rascal who cheated me will

DIAMOND MAKING Perhaps art
has at last triumphed completely
over nature, and torn from her
grasp, after long continued strug-
gle, the great secret. What was the
process by means of which nature,
in the secret places of her great world
laboratory, fashioned the diamond
from the carbon, in one form or
another that it took in hand? The
following lines, from the London
Mining journal, speak for them
selves; "Mr. Saix sent in q paper to
the Academy of Science on the arti-
fetal production of black, colorless
and colored diamonds. If current
of chlorine be made to pass through
cast iron when in state of fusion,
per chloride of iron is formed, which
disappears by evaporation, leaving
the carbon of metal at liberty, in q
crystallized state"
