The Pail Mall Guz,ne mentions the re-
currence of M extraordinary phenome
non recorded by Hcroditus AS having
been observed in remote times by the
tribes iuhabiting the shores of the Cas-
plan Sea. That huge salt lake is dotted
with islands from which enormous qnnn
titles of naptha are yearly taken. Early
last month, owing to snbterranean dis
turbances, the napthn wells on these
islands overflowed, and the iDflam mable
substance spread over the entire surface
of the lake. 1t accidently took fire, aud
for forty eight hours burned furionsly
over a snrlace of muny thousands of
square miles, presenting magnificent
aud terrifying spectacle to the inbabi-
tants Of the surrounding country, who
imagined that the end of the world was
ut hand. The fish in the lake were en-
tirely destroyed, and for miles around
vegetation was pnrched, and the country
made like desert.

The CoLoRED DoCrons IN WASHING
TON. The rejection of the applications
of the colUred doctors, Purvis and An.
Gnsta, for membership in the Medical
Suciety of the District of Columbia is
exciting considerable comment. The
Washington Star, in explaining the case,
says:
''The question was simply thai of ad-

first instnucc in the country where any
medical society has given colored practi-
TONERS any status. The society did not
quite come up to the mark of receiving
the colored doctors into social af1ilnton
bnt they have shown themselves quite as
exclusive i'll regard to numerous white
applicants in the past. The colored
practitioners will, as they become better
known, bo uble to dispel every prejudice
to their social disadvantage. The Medi-
Gal Society of this District was formed
with II view to prescribing u test for qua
lificntions for practitioners in order to
shut off qnackery. The board of exa-
miners of the society are authorized
to license applicants to practice who are
nnle to show themselves properly quail
fed; and by the charter of the society
every person who undertakes to practice
without such license is liuble to q fine of
$50 i'll each case. It'is not requisite that

The Athens Banner never said q truer
thing than the following;

The white people of this country can
afford to be patient and kind toward the
negro, in dealing With thisSquestion. and
jt requires no special sagacity to foresee
that the effort to elevate him in advance
of bis fitness, and against the will of
those who control the business interests
aud property of the country, must re-
bound and end in failure. Just in pro-
portion as the negroes seek office, and
avail themselves nf temporary local ma

will they hasten the adoption of bust,
ness policy which displaces them. and

ABOUT CARPET BAaGERs. We copy
the following from an account of the re-
cent Illinois press excursion, published
in the Illinois State Register, at Spring
field:
THE talk about Northern people not
being permitted to live in that country
is oil twaddle. 1t is not true. This We
can readily assert of our own personal
knowledge of several cases in point,
where persons known to be avowctl
radicals in politics went South to live
and make it their future home, conduct
ed themselves as good citizens, Which
they are, and no people were ever re-
ceived with more cordiaIity and kind
ness, and none would do these same
radicals M act of kindness more readily
than the nati~e Southerncr. They nre
anxious that people from the North shall
come to their country and become part
OF it, but they naturally want men, not
the scum and refuse of the North who
leave their country for their country IS
good"

TERRIBLE AFFAIR IN IDAHO. Tho

her nearly to death. Her nssailant leav-

gun would not go off, and in the mean

of which prodnced fatal wonnd Then
he retired, set fire to the house and kill
ed himself with the remaining two shots
in his pistol. The poor woman whom
he had murdered had just the strength
left to crawl out Of the door and preserve
her body on the grceusward for the re-

FEARFUL DEATH OF YOUNG WIFE. =
The wife of Hezekiah Greenlee, of Ma
son County, West Virginia, was instantly
killed n few days since, under circum-
stances of most distressing character
In company with her husband, she was
returning home by near path through
the woods from o neighbours, where her
husband had been at work during the
day. They were walking hand-in- hand,
not drea aiming of any danger, when dead
tree they had just passed suddenly fell,
brushing the shoulder of Greenlee, and
striking his wife on the top of the head,
crushing her to the earth so that her re-
maius could scarcely be recognized us

The ALABAMA QUESTION the de-
bate In the House of Lords on the 4th
instant, on the motion of Viscount de
Redclitfe for copy of the Johnson
Clarendon treaty, the Viscount referred
to Mr.. Summers speech ON the treaty as
''nn intemperate oration," and ''extrava-
CANT to degree Of absurdity," which,
however, he said, had "met with its anti
dote in the calm Judgment cf the Anne
rican people" He thought If the Bri-
tish Government thought proper to
resume negotiations they would not
have to confront such propositions as
those of Mr.. Sumner. He considered it
"base suspicion" that the United States
would "bide its time," and await u mo-
ment of British weakness to dictate
terms. He paid high tribute to Mr..
Motley. Lord Clarendon expressed his
preference of the first convention,
signed by Mr.. Johnson and Lord Stan.
ley, to that signed by himself and Mr.
Johnson. He thought Mr. Summers
speech much to be regretted, but "too
much stress should not be laid upon it,
for he was not q member Of the Govern
ment, and there was no reason to believe
that the majority in the Senate which
voted for it supported either his extrava-
CANT claims or his statements" He
agreed with the Viscoant that the speech
is not sustained by public sentiment in
America. He said, however much Eng
land valued peace, it valued more its
national honor. The speaker spoke in Il
complimentary manner of Mr.. johnson

The Grand Army of tho Republic
seems to be losing cast, and is getting
good many wounds, even in the house
of its friends. The New York Tribune
has lately ''aoured on" the organization
considerably, aud there are other less
notable defections on all hands. This
Grand Army is making desperate effort
TO secure the control of Federal patron
age i'll the various departments. It is
said that it has appointed committee
to examine the clerks, with view to Sc
curing the dismissal of all who do not
come up to its exalted ideas of patriot
ism. The vacancies, of course, arc to be
filed from the rank and file of the Grand
Army 1t is presumed that one of the
questions to be proponnded by this in
qnisition will be as follows,
''Would you tolerate the decoration of
the gr,ves'of the rebel dead?"
Should there be any hesitation, any
equivocation, anything, in fact, short cf
n prompt and decided negative, the u
fortunate clerk is doomed, and speedy
decapit;,tion will follow.
Having already incnrrcd the obloqny
1t so truly merits, as well as the contempt
OF all respectable people, this Grand
Army of the Republic is now bringing
upon itself the enmity Of both Office
seekers and otlice-holders. It might sur
vive the obloqny and contempt; but it
cannot long exist with the Office seekers
and of1ice-holders arrayed against it. A
more formidable organization could not
be devised.

but not q favorable fact that the dogs in
all but one, of these Counties outnumber
the horses; nor is it Indicative of indus
trial progress to see the carriages mono
polizing SO large proportion of the

consideration that the war used up a vast
number of horses, and the country has
not yet recovered from its prostraton
sufficiently to replace its stock. The

County had 2,747 horses against 1854

The CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK.
invite attention to the advertisement Of
this institution to be found in our CO.
lnmns, and avail ourselves of the oppor
tnnity to express our qualification at the
establishment of such a bank in this
city. Such an institution has been long
needed here, and we are fortunate in
having the want so satisfactorily sup
piled. The policy and utility of savings
banks have been amply vindicated by
experience, and their existence in almost
every city of the country is an evidence
of their supplying general want. Our
mechanics, clerks, farmers and others
desiring to lay aside and augment their
savings, have now IN opportunity which
we trust will not be neglected. We re-
gard the Citizens Savings Bank as de-
cdcd benefit to the public, and it is in our
power, cordially, to commend it to the
couideoce Of the community and the
State at large. The absolute confidence
reposcd in General Hampton, its Prcsi-
dent, the high character of its other
officers and of its Board of Directors, the
prudence aud integrity with which we
feel assured its affairs will be managed,
these afford the amplcst guarantee rs to
the security Of all funds entrusted to it's
care.
