Southern Martyrs.

The New York Herald says of
the class of people who suffer
from "rebel atrocities i" W
MARTYRS" are as plentiful
throughout the South as straw
berries in season. The smashing
of a radicals nose, the punish
ment~of a Radical scamp or even
the killing of a radical In a per-
sonal quarrel-all these are set
down as the result of rebel hatred
to the Union. But, mark you, if
the case be reversed and the radi-
cal smashes the nose of or kills
his conservative neighbor we are
told, and the speaker wears a be-
nign expression of countenance as
he tells it, that these things arise
from the just evaporation of a
loyal heart-that they are merely
the ebullitions of Unionism
too powerful for control. The
waters of a pure, unsullied and
undefiled patriotism will at times
overflow, and then if an ex-rebel
gets smashed or killed, put the
blow or blows down as having
been struck in the cause of the
Union. rli 6efotas

Butler Snubbed Again.

1t appears that Beast Butter of
fered his legal services on behalf
of John I'll. Surratt, but that
his offer was declined because
the other counsel engaged refused
to be associated with him. In re-
ply to card on the subject from
Ben, Mr.. Merrick, Attorney for
Surratt, says: ars .saimerq ..a,
"The manner in which Butler
has referred to professional rela-
tions, renders it proper that l
should state a certaincircumstance
that occurred while the case of
Surratt was being prepared for
trial. Some friends Of Surratt,
and one member Of the family,
on two or three occasions, inform
ed Mr.. Bradley and myself that
it had been indicated to them that
Butler would assist in the trial if
agreeable to US. .s-s I
"We evaded the subject, for
we desired to avoid the necessity
of determining the question as
presented. Mr.. Bradley inform
ed me that he had an interview
with the sister of Surratt, in
which she stated that PROPOSE
ton to assist in the trial had been
submitted to her by Butler, through
mutual friend, gentleman well
known in Washington city. We
declined the association because
we felt constrained to do SO from
a proper regard for the honor of
the profession and our self res
pect." y ? "''2 '.' st.s

At Carlinyille, Ill, recently,
Mrs. c. M. Patterson, while seated
on the grass under a shade tree,
placed her hand on the ground,
when she was bitten three times
in the middle finger by a small
rattle snake. She first thought it
to be locust sting, and when the
truth was known, tainted with ter
ror. Whiskey was prescribed free
ly until intoxication was produced,
nearly quart being required for
that purpose, and her life was
saved.

marrInre ExfraoraInarv.

A few days since, when it was rain
ing, aud showing, and the weather was
as bad aa il could be, two families, con-
sisting Of father and six children,
from 5 to 1S years of age, and of a
mother and six children, from to Is
years OF age, the father widower and
the mother a widow, made their ap-
pearauce on Church hill, Richmond.
The party went to the door of physi.
clan and inquired where Father Court
uey lived. They were informed that
Father Courtney had passed from earth
about two years since, and it was hoped
and believed that he was in Heaven.
The old gentleman then asked wherO
a preacher could be found, and said he
aud the old lady, at the head of one of
the families OF six, had walked six
miles in the rain and snow and sleet
for the purpose of getting married,
and were determined to have the knot
tied before they returned home. They
were directed to the house of the Rev.
A. E. Dickinson, and told that he
would perform the ceremony for them.
Theprocessicn went to Mr.. Dickinson's
house and rang the bell. A servant
looked out and reported to Mr.. D. that
a party of beggars, a large party, were
at the door.
Mr.. D. came down and was agreeably
surprised to learn that his services
were required to solemDize the rite OF
matrimony. The parties we're invited
into the parlor and requested to take
their positions. When they "fell in"
it happened a blooming daughter Of
theold lady was next the old gentleman,
and the minister was proceeding 10
marry her TO her prospective step father.
"Hold on, hold on, she cried, Sits not
me that wants to get married; it is
mother.
The mistake was corrected and the
ceremony was proceeded with, and the
old gentleman and lady were made one
flesh. When the ceremony was over
the old gentleman asked the minister
what his charge was. Mr.. D.sreplied,
81 make no charge" The happy BRIDE
groom thereupon took $2 note ont of
his pocket and told him 10 pay himself
out Of that. After getting his change
the head Of the two families which had
been united, called his children, IL in
number, up, and the procession march.
ed off homeward contented and happy.

Revelations Of the English WOrkhOuss
system.


Akum ~ huuuOh Wcckiy llneh.
An infant has been killed in Wiganl
Wofkhouse under circumstance Of
great horror. II appears from the evil
dence given at the inquest upon the
body Of this little victim Of scandalous
Encouragement, that when ilIegitimate
children are born in the house, they
are taken from their mothers and placed
under the care of nurses in the infant
ward. This may be necessary and,
therefore, right but in the selection
of nurses the Wigan authorities appear
TO act in the most reckless and heart
less way, One OF these danes, exam
ined at the inquest, stated that she was
seventy-three years of age, and had
lost the use OF one arm by a stroke OF
paralysis, She was too weak to carry
a child, but could sit with one on her
knee. Another choice specimen Of
nurse was seventeen years old, described
by the doctor as 'imbecile" and her
talk was 80 soft that it was with diff
Guilty she made herself understood.
Such being the condition of the
horsepower in the infant ward, we are
not surprised that when Susannah BAN
mister, the mother of the child, who
has just been work-housed out Of the
world, gave up her infant, she request
ed that it might be placed in safer
hands than those OF Kitty Dawber, the
idiot girl. The assistant matrOn, how
ever, declared that nurses were scarce
just then, and a better one than soft
Kitty Dawber could not be found until
some fresh woman entered the house.
When the soft Kitty was in possession
OF her tender charge, she stripped the
little creature with the intention of
washing ii. She took her station in
front Of the FIRE, with bucket of what
is described as "very hot water by her
side, into which she plunged the hap
less child, scalding it from head to
foot" Idiotic Kitty Dawber paid no
attention to the little creatures screams,
but pertinaciously rubbed it with fan
mel. This part of the horrible process
being finished, Kitty took the child on
her knee, aud rubbed off large pieces
of skin from the red, scalded flesh with
coarse rough towel | The paralytic
woman saw the error of this proceeding
and exclaimed to Kitty. "Dos't ma see
thou,r ,rt rubbing all the skin off ?"
This awful but grotesque tragedy
was performed on Monday. The poor
child fingered in agony till Wednesday,
when death released it from its work
house care. Kitty Dawber was appre-
hended, and the local magistrates are
exercising their wits to discover the
amount of guilt an idiot girl manifested
in ignorantly boiling baby, under
the delusion she was giving it a gentle
wash.

The AbyvslnIan war.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The advices from
the headquarters of the British army
in Abysslnia, state that King TheodO-
rus is ut his camps near the Palace of
Magdala, where the English capti yes
are confined. The AbyssiDian monarch
is said to,be in a bad strait, in a mill.
tary point Of view, in the engagement
between two armies. The crisis is
imminent, aud may take place at any
moment. Very few of the disaffected
native chiefs now acknowledge any
fealty to Theodorns.
The chief Oassai, rnler of the Tigra
district, openly courts the iavor of
Maj. Gen. Napier. Gen. Napier fears
that this chief, whose political charac-
ter is bad, aims at making secret at
tack on him, and consequently seeks to
arrange and perfect binding treaty
of alliance with him, so rs to hold him
answerable for his future acts.
Thitty.five thousand British troops
OF all classes have been landed at Soula,
and the advance of the Queens army
has reached to within two days march
Of Autalo, half way towards Msgdala
from the shore line, where it is very
probable the expected battle will take
place.

Among lha Han PIekers.

The women who arg employed to
pick hops in the great hop yards Of
the West have some curious customs,
recital of which reminds one of Ten
nysOn's "eight strong daughters of the
plough" We get our information from
a writer in that model agricultural iour-
nal, the Prairie Farmer. The rules of
the yards during work hours, are most
rigid; and the pickers who are paid by
the quantity, are violently opposed TO
any dimunition of their wages
by a condensation, accidental
or otherwise, of gathered hops.
II the box tender does not closely attend
10 his business and delays them by his
want of punctuality, or il he is careless
and lets the cross-poles by which the
box is carried strike the poles of the
yard and iostle down tue hops, he is
significantly warned once or twice and
then mob punishment is resorted TO.
One Of the pickers quietly leaves, on
pretenee of making a visit to the
other boxes. But she soon returns,
Ec-buluICtu u ny n hbNhu VI OhucI piohtire

The unfortunate man at the box is
seized and plunged head foremost into
a hop sack, the sack tied securely, and
then picked up and dragged about
over the ground at fearful rate, the
mobbing party meanwhile laughing,
screaming and yelling like devils =
Spruce young men, while visiting yards
areoccasionally put through this course
OF treatment, to their perfect astenish-
ment. 1t is useless for fellow to try to
escape, or to resist in any way, after he
is once seized. The wisest thing he
can do is to roll himself into a ball,
like frightened caterpiIler, and sub.
NIT to his fate with the best grace pos
sible. Visitors to western hop yards
are warned to wear their old clothes.
A spruoe man and stylish costume, in.
stead of winning the admiration OF
these delicate damsels, only present an
irresistible temptation to their peculiar
naatima sg t.
