thus does it belle itself by attempting
to appropriate for its own use and beue
ft the results of that Radicalism which
it so loudly denounces. 1t is safe to
conjecture that when Reconstruction is
accomplished, it will seek TO pilfer a
share Of the popularity which that mag

by naming as its standard bearers snch

A HORRIBLE DEATH. - The Nevada

A HORRIBLE DEATH. - The Nevada
Transcript of the Sth inst. contains the fol-
lowing account of horrible death
George Brown met with horrible death at
Brown Bros. cement mill, near You Bet, yes
terday morning. Deceased was in the mill
alone. and by some mishap he was caught on
the shaft of the hurdv gurdy wheel and whirl-
ed around until both legs were cut off and his
body terribly mutilated He was found after
wards by some one who entered the mill. The
machinery was Immediately stopped but when
he was taken out life was extinct. 1t is not
known how long he remained in torture upon
the wheel. George Brown was a brother of
Hank and Ken Bcown, proprietors of the
Grass VALLEY stage line and had charge of
the mill and mine. Deceased was, we believe,
a native af pennsylvania, aged about A.
years. He was highly esteemed by all who
were acquainted with him. and many friends
will mourn his loss.

An ENGLISH CHURCH CHoIR.-A oorres-
pondent gives the following description of the
musical part of the service in a church near
Carlisle (England)
When the psalm is given out the clergy
man tunes a small violin and, having after
ward touched base fiddle, hands the larger
instrument over to one of the Pensioners.
Each then draws his bow across the strings
and, all being in order, the player of the bass
gives out the verses to be sung, the two mu-
sicians are Joined BY few Pensioners al and
clergyman then abandons the violin, returns
to the reading desk until another psalm re-
quires him to resume his instrument, and
again goes through the tuning process pre-
paratory to the psalm-singing.

FILLING IN.-Some of our citizens have
conceived the idea. and are putting it into
practice, of filling in their cellars by using
the street cleanings for that purpose. Why
should not all those on the high grade do
likewise, and thus kill two birds with one
stone Bee,
Yes, more than two birds-many hundreds
of those fine birds, before their feathers were
shot off. 1t may do away the practice of kill
ing off the frogs by salt. Once upon a time
the frogs in the pond beneath the Baptist
Church, on Fourth, between X and l. streets,
became so noisesome that Brother Wheeler
was unable to be heard by his congregation,
and the nuisance was abated by sailing the
fresh water. Several sacks of Turks Island
salt were used. Though expensive, it stop
ped the concert.-MarysriAe Appeal.

DOLLY DAVENPORT NOT DEAD.-We find
the following in the San Francisco Dispatch
of the 18th inst:
The other day we were misled into chro-
melting the death Of A. H. Davenport, our
old-tine friend of dramatic notoriety. II
would seem, however, that the report was a
blunder of the most exaggerated description,
the decedent being " a Mr.. Davenport" but
not the Dolly Davenport of Thespian fame.
The New Orleans Times saws that, while
Dolly one morning was engaged in an inspec-
ton of the "Black Crook" traps and super
intending the entrechats of the ballet, the
following alarming telegraph was placed in
his hands:
New YORK, Dec. Is, 1867.
Messrs. Spaulding Bidwel, Academy OF
Music Please send body of A. H. Davenport
deceased. by steamer, to his mother, - street
New York fitv. -.
Which Dolly with characteristic comical-
ity, answered as follows:
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. Is, 1867.
I will try and bring my body myself !:
never was better able to do so in my life.

THE GRANT MEETING IN FANEU1L HALL.
The Boston Advertiser says, editorially, of
the Grant meeting at Faneuil Hall on the
18th ult.:
The meeting in Faneuil Hall last evening
was, in all respects, success. 1t was large
and enthusiastic, and greatly resembled the
gatherings fifteen yerrs ago, when the mer-
chants and business men of Boston were
more in tine habit of assembling in this his
torical building than they have been of late.
As our readers know, none of the usual eff
forts have been made to insure large meet
ing. There has been no parade of the names
of speakers, and the official announcement
was only made yesterday morning. Nor did
it have the appearance of mere political
gathering. 1t seemed more, as it really was,
an assemblage of business men to compare
views in relation to the remarkable man who
is destined to be the next President of the
United States.

IL Great Britain succeeds in her mis-

cotton region two thousand miles nearer
to her ports than India. There are now
1901, 7S9 acres under cotton in Bombay
and Gil, ,722 acres in the central provinces
of India, all within ready access to ports
for shipment. In the central provinces
only six and half per cent of the cul.
tivated land is devoted to cotton, the rest
to cereals. Seven cotton factories have
recently been erected in Bombay, and
the country presents remarkable ap-
pearance of life and prosperity.
