Mr.. PEABoDY's STATUE IN LoNDoN.-Ar. Pea
bodys statue cannot escape the fate of all London
statuary. If no fault is found with the sculpture
its position does not escape criticism. The Bull
der says:
'The committee went all the way to Rome to
get sculptor, Mr.. W. W. Story, who is An
American, land an able man, too,) aad could
not find founder to put the work into metal
nearer than Munich-Frederick Miller. After all
this long travel, and the expenditure ofsoms f3,
900, what is the result We answer, with regret
an entire mistake and disappointment-at least
for the present The excellent philanthropist sits
hatess in an ordinary library chair, without q
single touch of ideslity to make 1t other than
seated man most awkwardly placed among some
irregularly- shaped building apropos Of nothing
and square with nothing.
"The first impression on seeing tho figure is
that it is something up for sale the second, cs-
pecially if there be number of persons gathered
round about it, that it is an auctioneer, not for
sale, but selling. We are not joaking, neither
do we desire uselessly to find fault Our object
is improvement, if possible.
"The figure cannot remain where it ID. Before
the permanent pedestal is ready to be erected a
better site should be found for it, and care
fully-designed canopy should be put over the
statue. The stalwart form Of good George Pea
body, in his coat and trousers as he lived sitting
without his hat among the insurance ofiicss at
the back OF the Exchange, in peltng shower OF
pea-soupy fog, is q sight that surely cannot long
be endured, even in London"

MARX TWAIN IN THE Holy LAND.-At one place,

FEARruL pEArH By L1eHrN1Na.-A Terrible ca

FEARFUL DEATH BY LIGHTNING-A terrible ca
lamity occurred in the town of Caldwell, N. j.
on Sunday evening last, the particulars of which
are given by the New York Times as follows:
IA young man named Stephen Pierce was
walking home from the Methodist Episcopal
Church in company with young lady, when
they were overtaken by violent storm which was
proceeded and accompanied by thunder and light
ming. The entire village was suddenly illumina-
ted with an intense light, and Pierce and his
companion fell to the ground. The lady was
stunned, but she soon recovered and screamed
for help. When help arrived nothing was found
of the young man who had accompanied her but
mangled remains. His boots were stripped from
his feet his limbs were severed and lacerated,
and the features were not recognizable by those
who had known him in life. The unfortunate
young man is said to be the third of his family
who have lost their lives by the same cause"

CONFESSION OF AMURDBRHR.-Eight Murders by
Man Iventy- 1Wo Years Old.-The Knoxville
(Tenn) Press gives detailed account Of mur-
der which lately occurred in Fentrsss county,
Tennessee, the capture of the murderer and the
testimony against him:
"On the Goth Of last November citissn Of
Fentress county went to the house Of old Mrs.
Galloway and found the old lady, her daughter
and two grandchildren lying upon the floor with
their heads split open with an axe and the floor
deluged with blood and brains No certain clue
could be found One Of the,chdren, a boy sew
en- years of age, showed signs oflife, and was re-
moved to neighbours house. Two days after
wards the little fellow showed signs of conscious
ness, and was asked, who done it p His reply
was 'Cal This information, connected with
other circumstances, directed suspicion to Calvin
Longston, who had about that time fed to his
home on Green river in Kentucky.
'He was pursued, captured and brought back
to Fentress county, by which time the little boy,
who seemed to have been preserved By special
Providence, was so nearly recovered as to give
correct account of the whole bloody tale. From
his testimony tappears that Longson came to the
house with two women, his aunts, named Brown,
and demanded of Granny her money, with
threats of presented pistol. Failing TO get any
ne put up MS pistol ana Selzeu an aAe ns iounu
in the house and struck the old lady on the head
and then served the young woman and four
year old boy in the same manner. One o! the
women then seized a shovel and dealt the little
witness blow, which is the last thing he recol-
lects.
"Upon the return Of the prisoner to Fsntrcss
county the citizens erected an impromptu gal
lows for his accommodation, but by the efforts of
Judge Houk, Judge Lynch yielded Jurisdiction.
Failing to get jury in that county, the venue
and laborious trial, the verdict has just been rem
dered of guilty Of murder in the first degree,
without any mitigating circumstances and SEN
tence of death pronounced by Judge Houk, to
take effect on the 18th Of October, proximo. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, and the
prisoner and his guard arrived here yestsrday.-
Although the prisoner is only twenty-five years
of age, he freely confesses to eight murders.

Social VICIoUsNEss.-We have already noticed
the fact that the growing laxity of the marriage
tie. and the ease with which divorces are now
obtained in the Northern and Western States of
the Union has called out such men as President
Woolsey, of Yale College to portray thedangers
which threaten thissocial relation. On the other
side according to the New York Times, there is
now a regular school of writers and religionists
who boldly announce their opposition to the
marriage institution. The novel OF Nicolas, ad-
vocating free-love, has at last eliminated in an
established literature devoted to that end. A
large weekly journal is published in Chicago,
avowedly devoted to the abolition of marriage
and the substitution of the largest license. The
contributors to thisjourna said to be generally
women, some of whom sign only their initials to
their contributions, while others boldly annex
their names, maiden or marital, to the ideas
they advance or advocate. series of novels
has been written by such women as Mrs. j. S.
Adams and Mrs. Caroline Eairchild Corbin,
covering with the thin disguise of story pro-
nounced advocacy of the abominably free
doctrine. One of the writer's in the anti-marriage
organ to which we refer says, in recent issue ::
sThere is scarcely anything left now but the
name of marriage, so loose is the system of di-
vorce becoming, when parties are left as free to
unmarry as to marry, and that point is almost
reached. The old idea of marriages dead past
hope of resurrection )" and this writer rejoices
that it is so, because marriage ss contrary to
the whole spirit of the age" Then, God help
the age.
1t is difficult to conceive that there are people
in this country who desire to establish the rea-
tions of the sexes in the United States on the
basis which exists between the beasts of the field.
Even "the old idea of marriage" as it existed in
Rome before the prevalence of Christianity, would
seem to be too decent for the pioneers of our So
called social progress. At period when the
husband had the power of divorce five hundred
years elapsed without its exercise. When a new
Jurisprudence was introduced, that marriage
might be dissolved by the abdication of either Of
the associates, three centuries of prosperity and
corruption enlarged the principle to a practical
lieentiousness equal to that which now seems to
be sought in this country. The ten husbands in
| a month of the poet Martial may have been too
| extravagaut an exaggeration of the general IL
cense. Jerome speaks of seeing at Rome-a trium-
phant husband bury his twenty first wife, who
| had inferred twenty-five of his less sturdy pre-
decessors. Can the vices of declining state be
already taking root in this young republic p

A Coon WFE-In the eighty fouth year OF
his age, DR.. Calvin Chaplin wrote OF his wife as
follows
'My domestic employments have been perhaps
as near perfection as the human condition
permits. She made my home the pleasantest spot
to me on EARTH Aud uow that she is gone, my
worldly loss is perfect"
How many poor fellows,would be saved from
suicide, from the penitentiary and the gallows,
every year, had they been blessed with such
wife, "She made my home the pleasantest spot
to me on earth" What grand tribute to that
woman's love, and piety, and common sense
Rather different was the testimony of an old man
a few years ago, just before he was hung in the
Tombs yard in New York.

TRUE FRIENDS.


BIT MRS. HENRY L. THOMAS.
,Tis not where sunbeams brightly shine
And cloudless skies look blue;
When happiness and peace abound,
And troubles are but few;
.Tis not the time to know our friends
The false ones from the true.
Bat when the sky is overcast,
And threatening clouds appear,
With thunder crashing o'er our heads,
And lightning flashing near;
Then enemies press closely on,
To fill our hearts with fear.
'Tis then when sadness clouds the brow,
And all around seems drear,
The false ones from our side will sneak
The coming storm they fear;
Their craven hearts with terror view
The tempest drawing near.
And so, aimd the darkest storm,
True friendships love is tried
As clings the ivy round the oak,
By us they will abide;
And neither storm nor enemies
Can force them from our side.
And when the storm is past away,
The sky again is blue;
Then calmly we look round with pride,
To find our foes so feid,
And think twas worth the storm to know
Our false friends from the true.

he said
