nitule swept up the English Channel on
"Wednesday morning We have records
Of its presence from almost every part on
the south coast Of Cornwall, but not from

particularly felt in narrow estuaries. we
do not learn that much damage was caused.
At Plymouth the wave was perceptible,
though in less force than some other pla-
ces, and tho tide swept suddenly to ahight
cf .wo OF three feet above its previous level,
and as quickly recelcd. This was re-

furnished BY our Pensance and Truro cor
respondents as specimens, other accounts
being very similar On Wednesday morn

ten o'clock, the tic receled and came in
about every twenty minutes. The tide

Want OF Brain!

A correspondent of tho Now
York Tribune, q "loil" man, Of
course, writing from Columbia,
South Carolina, lets out this great
truth
"The fact is, and it is n melan-
choly ono for us who desire good
for the colorcd race, that the negro
Is so utterly the slovo Of his pass
ions, and 80 utterly destitute of
judgment and foresight, that no
calculation can be made upon him
no foresight can predict what he
will do to-morrow. lie may turn
next to stab tho white Democrat,
or tho white Republican, OF the
black Democrat, or the white Car
pet baggor, irrespective Of his poll
tics. Ilo can forgot race, blood,
politics, oath of Leagues, religion,
his promises-auything and every
thing-undcr sOmu temporary cX-
element. He wants the stability
to act with consistency and this
comes Of the character Of his brain
not of the color of his skin"

A LEAF FROM TIEE HISTORY
OF THsE LATE FRANKLIN

The Now YORK World in Il recent

out the following
Up to Tho hour of his death, he
could mover admit that the war
could not have been averted in the

wore at the time not acceptable in
certain quarters. Men who little
knew what Il sacred thing to hir.
this Union was, valnly supposed,
or pretended to suppose, that be-
cause he deplorcd the war he symp-
athizod with those who resisted
laws to which the Constitution and
the Union commanded obedience.
Upon this point the solitude and ST.
lenco Of his retirement seemed to
onrage q certain class OF politicians,
who in the end, found persons IN
Washington to give practical point
to their angry malice. 1t so hap
pened that in 1861 there was pubs
hshed in the Detroit Tribune an
anonymous lotter, signed with ca
palistic signs. 1t contained thotol-
lowing:

HnhHman Treatment OF a sol
dIcr's Family.

A case Of ill-trcatment to lady,
her sick infant, and an older child,
and its grandmother, has Just been
discovered in Washington, which
should be punished to the utmost
extremity Of the law. A young man
named Lang enlisted from Wash~
ington. and served during nearly
the entire war When he returned
to the city, he was appointed to n
cierlship in one of the Government
departments, and while yet a clerk
he died, leaving n young wiio and
one child to mourn his loss, and to
combat cold world fer Il livclI4
hood. At about two months after
Mr.. Lang's death, his widow bore
q second child, which added much
to her cares. Soon thereafter she
was given employment under Mr.
Thomas PeniclSs, in ths folding
room Of the Government Printing
office. About two months since,
Mrs. Lang was compelled 10 remain
at home, because Of the severe ills
ness Of her mother and youngest
child. A lady friend in the folding
room, becoming uneasy because
Of Mrs. Lang's long continued alb
sence, went to set her at her house
on II street. Whom she arrived
there she found Mrs. Lang, her mos
ther and childron-not IN the house
but lying in the back yard IN an ut.

youngest chlld in u dying condi'
