BERLIN, September 1.-The centennial
anniversary of the birth of Humboldt
was celebrated to-day, and was made the
occasion of national demonstration.
Although the weather was rainy, Q large
number of citizens and great crowd OF
visitors took part in the festivities. 10
the morning there was procession, with
bands and banners, composed largely of
Populations from the principal German
cities They passed through the streets,
singing National airs and cheering with
great enthusiasm. In the afternoon the
corner stone of the monument to Hum
boldt was laid with imposing ceremonies
and was Witnessed BY large numbers, and
the ceremonies closed by the decoration
of the grave of the great naturalist.
At Koniisberg during the festival in
honor of the King of Prussia, the ratings
of bridge overcrowded with spectators
gave way and many we're precipitated
into the river. Twenty-four bodies have
been recovered.

loving verdict in regard 10 the late dis
sstsr at the Ayondale mines That the
said Palmer, Steele aud others came to
their death in the Avondale mines; that
the cause Of their death was from exhaus.
ton of air or prevalence of sulphuric
and carbouic acid gas in the said Avon
dale Fins1, csgsed by the burning Of the
head house and breaker at said mines on
the sih day of September, thereby de-
stroyipg the air courses leading from the
Mipee through the shaft; that the FIRE
originated from ths furnace 10 the
mines taking effect upon the wooden
bracket in the up-cast air course,
leading from the bottom Of the shaft to
the bead house. The jury regard the
present system Of mining in large num-
Der Of mines now working by shafts as
insecure and unsafe. and would stroHgly
recommend, 10 al cases, two places for
ingress and egress, and a more perfect
ventilation, thereby rendering greater

The destruction Of life in the Avondsle
coal mine, in the State Of Pennsylvania,
exceeds any and every horror that has
occurred in modern times. To day.
within the small circle Of that coal dis
trict, can be found fifty widows and one
hundred and nine orphans, caused BY the
burning of the works that forced and
supplied the colliery with fresh air. IT
is one of those accidents that connot be
foreseen, and when it results, the entire
country is made to shudder at the loss OF
human life. The shaft is two hundred
and tbirty-seven feet deep in which these
poor miners went down and we're
returned on the following day dead.
The natural apprehension by these men,
down in the bowels of the earth, that their
lives wosld be destroyed by the black
damp in consequence Of the FIRE, and
their efforts to save themselves, soHd
sfterward be seen in the barricsde raised
to keep opt the enemy. But, all their
Efforts proved abortise, and within the
little Enclosure raised we're found sixty
men, all stiff and stark in the cold en-
brace of death. This was the last ditch

as it was, removed the only means ofes'

Two paintings by Gpstave pore have
been imported to this country and placed
on exhibition in New York. The most
notable one Is composition, In colossal
size, representing the daughter Of Jeptbah
and her companions mourning in the
mountains, illustrating the 9th and 18th
verses of the eleventh chapter Of Judges.
The time is twilight, and the weeping
msidens, all in shadow, are disposed in
relief against luminous sky. The faces,
like all Dore's female fseeg, are said to be
remarkably ugly, and there is no finish,
no detail, 10 the picture This was painted

ETHERIDGE AND THE FAhis
INTELLIGENCER.

The LEDGER ls severely ceusu'oo ~
the Paris Intelligence for having con-
demned and opposed the political aspira'
tons Of Mr.. Etheridge, who would DC
United States Senator but for the OPPOSE
,;on Of the people. Some are inclined to
wonder at the sudden affection that mas
grown up between the editor of this sheet
and an old political opponent u LETT 70
conjecture probably there might be some
very sensible reason assigned why
our contemporary is now oeslaV-
eripe Mr.. Etheridge. 1t may Dc
chat our keen-sighted neighber Is
looking forward to the time when he
himself may again figure in the gladla'
torial ring, ard to do so successfully ne
,ust as a wise stroke of policy, get out
Of ,be way the mau of all others who
is likely to thwart bis purpose. we sun
assert with The very best knowledge o.
the man, that the candidate OF the farls
Intelliqsncer for the Senate OF the UNI.
ted States is bufoon ana political
mou ntebank. The emphatic denial g.
this, contained in the last issue OF tnas
sheet. goes for nothing, as It 10 nnsup-
ported by reason. Ask any pubic
man of Tennessee, as we have
inquired Of several prominent gen.
,Iemen. what be thinks of Mr.. Eth
eridse, and the expressions and views
from the LEDaTE will at once be rsit
Grated. II is no attempt to under-valne
the abilities Of this politician to say that
he iss professional joker, in or out OF
Congress for bis entire history confirms
Whist we assert. The editor Of the Paris
abeet can hardly be said to be fa'r judge
:, this matter as to the ability OF Mr.
Elheridge; FOR. if our memory serves us
right. we have not forgotten when he was
beaten for Congress by the sspirant
for the Senate. Our neighbor no doubt
thinks If Etheridge conld defeat him ior
an Office it at once stamps the man as o
great one. But this conclusion will not
s.~ays sol!e=, The premises of facts es'
tablished. E,heridge could defeat At
kius and still be very small man. we
will oppose taking tiine ba%ss ssss ma
in The future may be the duty OF onr
cotem oorary himself to swallow when DE
shall again become candidate for Con-
gress. Etherjdge will not stick on our
rebel stomach We throw him up aud
spew him out Of our mouths as patrid hesh.
We remember bis sntecedents, and the
southernsr who can soy be forgets and
foreiyes these, is either fool or o politi'
cal demagogue. As TO Mr.. Milton
Browns views on the subject OF imperial
lam. we have not thought to inquire, as
the time for that has not yet come up.
But if anything would resolve us to des-
perate undertakings as an expediency OF
government, II would be the persistency
in endeavoring 10 saddle the people OF
this State with such man as Emerson
Etheridge. he feels himself under too
much obligation to the negro, aud would
swap horses with the devil, if it would
cause his promotion. rM

had an interview with the ladies men

we'll az with number Of the leading
citizens in and around Hpmbeldt. There
are various opinions expressed BY the
citixens relative TO the origin of the near
annroach of the burning OF the house OF
Mics Starkey, which it is not necessary
here TO mention, certain parties were
arrested upon suspicion 90 being the per-

la regard to the school Of Miss Starkey
for the instruction of colored pupils. in
stead of there being desire on the part
of the citizens to break up the said school,
there is an earnest wish that il should be

Young lady, Miss Starkey, deserves credit
for the manner in which she has con-
Quoted herself and for her efficiency as
teacher, and the citizens express desire
to aid her and promote her interest as
we'll as the interest Of her school.
found the citizens ell in favor of law and
order. and received many assurances that
n should be enforced. Like other lo- |
calities, there may be q few men who
have not the fear OF the law before their |
eyes, but they are publicly denounced by |
the community, and public sentiment
will soon force them out or they will be
brought to Justice. ! can only add in
conclusion that from my observation
which was BY no means limited) that
fully satisfied that there is no need OF
Executive interference, but that the Law
will be enforced when necessary and the
ladies' in question need have no appre-
nepsion of violence or insult upon the
grounds of being engaged in teaching
.olored school.
