CoULDN'T FIND THE VERDTcT.-Tho Rich

A friend of ours sends us the following
and vouches for the truth of the statement
At a recent session of one of the Courts in
South Carolina an entire negro jury was i'm
panneled. A case was. brought before them,
the witnesses examined, and the attorneys
made their respective arguments. The
Judge, after laying down the law and recap
itulating the testimony, gave the papers into
the hands of the foreman, an intelligent look
ing darkey, with instructions that as soon as
they found verdict, to bring it in without
delay.
Thirty minutes or more elapsed, when the
Jury returned, headed by the foreman, and
stood before the Judge.
As the foreman appeared to hesitate, the
Judge inquired:
"Mr Foreman, have you found the yer
dict ?''
mo, Massa Judge, we habcn't found
'em,'' replied the ebony juryman.

Curious Elopement--A ConjugaI Lesson,

The Auburn (N.Y.) Advertiser is response
BILE for the following strange story:
We have recently been informed of most
singular affair occurring during the last win.
ter, and which has only just now been made
public. 1t seems that some time in January
last, couple of married men, residing not a
hundred miles from this city, became, each
unsuspected by the other, enamored of said
others better Tor worser) half, and the matter
was carried on so far that each of the fair Tor
false) ones agreed to elope with her neigh
boris husband. An especially dark night
seemed to favor the design, and was chosen
by each as the favorable opportunity. The
evening train going east from this city con
yeyed the voyagers on their journey, one
couple getting on the rear and the other on
the forward car, unseen and unsuspeeted, it
having been arranged that the wife in each
case should 60 to the train unaccompanied,
and only be joined on board by her affinity"
just at the moment of departure. Arriving
at Syracuse, the pairs sought the waiting
room at the depot, where they would neces-
sarily be detained for some time while
waiting the train by which to continue the
journey. and proceeded to disencumber them
selves of the partial DISCUSSES assumed for
the occasion, when, to the unspeakable hor-
for OF each couple, 1t was discovered that the
affair had failed, for husband number one
recognized before him, in the now unveiled
face of his travelling companion, the linea-
ments of his own devoted wife, whose excited
nerves had hitherto prevented recognition
of her dear husbands form in the dim OBJ
scurity of the railroad car In similar
appalling manner was the stern reality forced
upon the other thunder-stricken couple, and
khna Il
ward. brought to this city two thenceforthly
faithful and constant couples, whose night
journey east, so suddenly executed without
apparent cause, occasoned no small wonder
ment among their nearest neighbors. 1.-The
Mistake of Lifetime was not patch to
the thrilling experience thus dished up for
these venturesome travellers, and we are told
by the iniorment who gave the above partic-
ulars, that no more faithful partners can be
found in town than are now the members of
these two matrimonial firms.

THE LONGEVITY OF FooLs.-Selkirk of the
Gold Hill News, is just letting himself loose
in this style:
We never take up o Coppcrhead paper
now a-days that we are not reminded of the
curt and rather inelegant saying, g the fools
are not all dead yet" Such vehicles of
bombast and buncombe, lewdness and lies,
folly and fustian, never existed in any other
country, and could not exist week, were it
not for the asinine element in human nature.
With sharp witicism or sledge hammer
blow of argument, every sensible man can
bear, even if he be the subject of it. But to
this skinned to death, trashy blackguard, we
shall never get accustomed. 1t recalls the
days of green boyhood, when slang was mis-
taken for smartness, vulgarity for wit. and
bullying for courage. Puerile Stiffness,
blackguard, personal abuse and bombast
may appear in the light of accomplishments
in the eyes of Copperhead editors, but they
cannot, singly or combined, elect or defeat
Presidential candidates. No amount of living
can defeat General Grant, just as no amount
of hurrahing can elect him. Falsehood has
done much to wrong the people in time past,
and will do much to check the progress of the
nation in the future. But it cannot sway the
masses of men in country where the news
paper finds its way into every family. Polit.
ical trickery is likewise better understood
than ever before. Men do not take things
upon trust SO readily as they used to do. In
short, through reading, the people are toler-
ably conversant with men and measures,
and the biographies of nearly all the promi-
nent men in the nation have become common
property in the shape Of books which lie up
ON every table.

FUNNY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE A Connect;

FUNNY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE A Connect.
cut paper says
An amusing attempt at suicide was made
near the poorhouse on the banks Of the Yam
tic, in Norwich, on Monday, by man about
thirty years of age. The man would wade
into the Yantic up to his knees and begin to
stoop down, when his wife would plunge in
and pull him out, all the while calling pit
eously for help. Then the two would stand
on the river bank awhile talking earnestly
when the husband, needless of the beseech-
ings OF his wife, would tear himself from her
arms and again plunge into the dark waters
with the fury of maniac, which would.
however, be cooled off by the time he got in
above his knees. The wife would again
lead him out and endeavor to persuade him
to give up the idea of suicide. After numer-
Gus attempts the husband was finally pre-
vailed upon to live little longer, and was
last seen going home with his faithful
spouse.

The Murder of Col. O'Brien.

We find the following editorial in the
Territorial Enterprise of July 18th. We
especially commend it to the perusal of those
of our Irish fellow citizens who are now
hurrahing for Seymour:
few nights ago party of gentlemen
were seated over bottle Of I" Krug," in a
saloon in this city, and good humor ruled
the hour. Political sentiments were freely
discussed, and after several toasts had been
drank gentleman remarked, Pm an
'Irishman and a Democrat Give you q
toast" A Federal ofice-holder replied
Well, sir, if you are an Irishman and o
Democrat, I'll give you toast. Here's tC
whom besotted and ruffanly mob murder
ed in the streets of New York, encouraged
and bounded on by the traitorous harangue
of Democratic Governor-Horatio Seymour.
If you are an Irishman, what do you think
of the arch-Democrat ?". It's good bel
that Irishmen will vote for Grant.
In the history of the New York Anti-Drafl
Riot, the following account of the dastardly
outrage, above referred to, appears:
The murder of Col. O'Brien was. perhaps,
the most fearful of the many incidents which
occurred. Commissioned to disperse moi
in the Third Avenue, he calamity charged
upon them with an efficient detachment oi
troops, and succeeded in breaking the front
and turning the face of the rioters Having
sprained his ankle during the excitement, he
stepped into drug store on Thirty second
street, while his command passed on. The
store was soon surrounded, and the proprie-
tor, fearing it would be sacked, begged the
Colonel to get away as soon as possible
With brave heart O'Brien went out among
the crowd alone; and while parleying with
them, a treacherous blow from behind laid
him senscless upon the pavement. The
crowd fell upon the prostrate form, betting
and bruising it. For hours the bleeding
body was drawn up and down the street,
receiving brutal treatment almost unparal-
leled, after which it was carried, with shouts
and groans, to his residence where the same
conduct was repeated. A priest with kindly
courtesy interfered, and read over the dead
body the prayers of its own church, after
which he directed the remains to be taken
into the house. Hardly was his back turned,
however, when a brutal fellow stamped upon
the corpse, and his example was followed by
many others.

wonders of Modern Surgery.

Bv the local application of sufficient de.
gree of cold, insensbility can be produced in
any desired part, so that man with a most
exouisitely painful wound on the arm or felon
on his finger, can now look down, in his per-
feet senses, upon the knife rs it enters his
own body, and performs the most difficult
operations without giving him the least pain.
A French surgeon has invented an instru-
ment he calls the craseur, or crusher, to
perform operations dangerous in surgery. on
account of the loss of blood from the smaller
vessels. If performed with knife. 1t Is
formed of fine chain gathered into loop.
which incloses the part to be removed, and
by turning screw the chain is frightened till
the parts are SEPARATED. The blunt chain
so turns up or twists the ends of the blood
vessels that hemorrhage is prevented.
A child was born with tongue so much
too long that it protruded three or four inches
from her mouth, so that she could not masti.
cate food, or shut her mouth or speak Yet,
when about fifteen years old, under the in
fiuence of chloroform, the ecraseur was ap-
piled, the superhuous portion of the tongue
removed, and now she talks. sings and eats
with ease.
The eye is now examined by an instrument
called the opthalmascore, by which the
depths of the globe Of the eye can be readily
and fully explored, and through its aid a
great deal of what has been written and con-
jeetured about diseases of the eye has been
found to be wrong The intricate passages
of the ear, the nose, the whole of the wind
pipe and passages of the lungs, are now care
fully explored.
Perhaps one of the best results of modern
science has been through what is called
g conservative" surgery, the rule of which is
to save all that possibly can be saved from
the amputation knife. Many Of our brave
soldiers complained of the reckless haste
with which, in the late war, some surgeons
would cut off arms and legs on account Of
trihing wounds. The complaint was often
just. But one of the most distinguished sur
geons in the world has lately written AT
Kings College it is rare to see an amputa.

A poor boy at the West was caught under
falling log, and his leg broken, and twisted
upon itself at right angles with his thigh,
the bones protruding the flesh, and no doctor
near. He lived, and after weeks of suffering
was taken to hospital. Modern conserva-
tive surgery sawed off the protruding bones,
turned the leg back again to its place. and
put on an instrument to keep it of equal
length with the other, and now the boy
stands, runs and jumps with two sound legs
instead of amputating the limb, as the old
fashioned surgery would have done.
