A DESPERATE ESITUATIoN--CAUGHT FROM
A TRAIN. BIZ a TELEGRAPH WrRE-THE
PLEASURES OF HANGING IN MID-A1R.-
hast Sunday morning q train started from
the Danyifle depot loaded with precious
freight in the effects of sure enough cir
-cus-that of Messrs. Robinson & CASTILLO.
The train was composed Of two or three
fats and Eve box-cars, and started off rs
any other train would do. Well, as we
have said, the appurtenances of first
Class, show were aboard, including the
.ticket-Wagon and q happy freedman, who
acted as brakesman for the train. If 3
freedman has an affinity, it is circus, Or
whatever belongs to it, and the freedman
in question could not resist the temp
tation Of taking his seat on top of the
ticket wagon; and whether OF not he
could do the brakeman in that posi-
tion. did not disturb his happiness there.
So -forgetful- he that the idea
of mis- perch being foot or SO two high for
safety did not once enter his head. On
ward sped the train, and happier grew the
darky until o point was reached where the
telegraph crossed the road. sambo, on
looking ahead, discovered that the wire
would take. him just about the neck. The
train was going at the rate of about sixteen
miles an hour; and there was not much
time for deliberation. He got up from his
perch and was about to jump down, when
zip! and the wire struck him about amid
ships. There he hung upon the wire, the
train passing rapidly underneath him, and
he with the consciousness that there would
soon be nothing firm nearer him than the
ground, and that was some thirty feet OFF.
What should he do? De good Gracious
knoW'd, for he didn't. As the first car came
along he tipped it with his toe, which moved
him about hairs breadth from his hang
ings. The next one came, and extra purchase
being given by the first move, no altered
his position by half-inch to his. advan-
tage. The third had passed half way,
when another push helped him by half On
inch downward. Things were getting des-
perato. Time and space were precious,
and he hadn't made good use of that al
ready allowed him. 6 Ter Lor but what
should he do !? Car No. was under him.
He touched it with the hollow of his foot,
and he bent, unfortunately, too far, for
when the last car came along he Vas struck
too forcibly. The box struck him about
the shins, and turned him double somer-
sault. In his downward flight he Just did
miss the car, and keewhollup he came
upon hard Mother Earth. He was picked
up for dead, but as he came down head
foremost, fortunately, his injuries were not
serious. Yesterday he was walking about
the streets. ......--
The above story we are not prepared to
'vouch for, but it was told us by q young
man who is not giyeu to exaggeration or
prevarication and that, too, with straight

- The rVERLANDER RoBBERY.-The con-
tinued case of George Wiley and York Will
iams, charged with burglariously entering
the grocery store of j. W. Verlander and
robbing it Of FIVE hundred pounds of bacon
and other articles, was called before the
Mayor yesterday morning. The evidence
adduced showed that Detectives Murphy
and Tyler arrested the accused and carried
them to the station-house, where they both
told that the bacon could be found at the
house Of William Hackett. Wiley acknow-
lodged having stolen the bacon. On his
person was found chain which had been
taken from the drawer of Mr.. Verlander.
York Williams sent for Mr.. Yerlander, and
told him he could get the bacon for him by
II O'Clock that night, if he would release
him. He asserted his innocence. Wiley
said that Hackett had received the greater
part of the bacon, and that Aristotle Davis
had received the remaining portion.
The Mayor discharged York Williams,
and sent George Wiley on to answer indict-
ment for felony srHgaGFfsar fes
William Hackett ian applicant for SER
geanoy Of police) and his wife were ar
raigned for knowingly receiving the stolen
bacon. UetectlFes Iyler anu murphy tes-
titled that they went to Hackett's house to
get the bacon. Hackett denied having had
it at first, but subsequently said that it had
been brought there, and afterwards carried
away. After search, the detectives. found
the bacon concealed about the premises,
and jug of whiskey, which was identified
by Mr.. Verlander as his.I ,f2HT46 Z
William Johnson who WAS erroneouSly
reported yesterday as being implicated in
the robbery, appeared as a witness for the

had sent him some bacon, He is said to
be respectable and reliable colored man,

justly. The great confusion usually exist

mistakes sometimes unavoidable. "#''
Hackett and his wife were both sent on,
and bailed in the sum of $500 each.

THE VILLA ON THE RHINE. By Berthold Auer-
bach. Authors Edition. Nsw York: Ley
po.dt j. Holt. Charleston John Russell.
By weaving his theories on the subject of
education, mental culture, social inter-
course, the relations Of labor and capital.
aud other great questions of the day, into
the form of novel, Auerbach may secure
thousands of readers who would be repelled
by the mere title of philosophical trea-
tise. In considering, therefore, the merits
of "The Villa on the Rhine" it is proper
to separate the speculative warp from the
.woof Of incident and character. To an
American, however, the aimlees vsticina-
nation which absorb this Teutonic mind, are
more or less wearisome; and although the
work before US is the masterpiece Of the
writer, it is not likely to attract for long
public attention on this side Of the Atlantic.
There are in it many gems ofthought, many
passages Of beauty; but there is nothing
practical or real, nothing which will have
q lasting effect upon any class of people.
The plot is in some respects highly i'm
probable, and the good people Of the story
are 80 continually on dress parade that the
reader is attracted by the bold criminslity
of Sonnenkamp and the Countess Bella
rather than by the smug-faoed comeliness Of
Frau Dournay, Erich, Roland and Mama.
And, as far as scutherners are concerned,

there Is the one Insupersble objection, Il ct
the third and fourth parts are rich in adu-
lstion Of John Brown, Abraham Lincoln,
Theodore Parker and the inevitable negro,
coupled with gross Misrepresentation OF
our manners, customs and character. Au-
erbach is as blind negro worshipper as
Garrison, Greeley or Sumner. On page
Oil We read "The negro Adams entered the
groom. Roland and Mamma stood aghast.
"Rolsnd rushed to the negro, embraced nm,
"crying, wild with excitement, 'let your
".whole race, all your brothers, be recon-
cooled by this. Come, Mama, give him
"syour hand, embrace him." Mamma is
the sister Of Roland, and Adams was their
fathers slave. Even the embrace is not
enough; for "Along the path" (page 9l8)
sscame Adams, and on his right and to his
sleft, lean.ng on his arms, walked Ro'
Gland and Manna," who is spoken OF
(psge 14) as SO girl who lived quietly in
"her own thoughts and in pious reaeo'
"tions" This last exploit causes the sud-
den death of the mother Of Roland and
Mamma. A little later the. z. G.. G. are
taken in hand, and we are informed (psge
947) that "by means Of their signs and
passwords, they constituted sort Of se'
"eret court, and committed countless assas-
sssinations and secret executions" which if
news to most of US. Or the murder Of Lin
coin, ,.Auerbsoh says: "This deed stands
"fortE as an evidence of the barbarity that
"the believers in sristocraoy, the defend
"ers of privileged classes, the deniers Of
"humsn rights, are capable Of. In future
"days such villany will seem incrediblei
snow it stands forth plain and distinct-an
"assassination, and not assassination by one
"man. A whole band had conspired. Du-
"ring the war they slipped the leash Of fa'
.natioism in the Southern States, and now
cit is Gagged under . bloody sesl." Already
enough. Ausrbsch may be ignorant Of the
truth; bat il 50 advanced 9 liberal and %
able man knows 50 little Of slavery and

The Nineteenth Century.

The July number Of this magazine con-
tsins the continuation Of "Shoulder te
Shoulder" by Personne, and another chsp
ter from the history Of the "Bloekads
Runners Of the Confederacy." These srti-
oles are bright and lively, and if they have
fault, it is that they ere too short. The
article ON "Duelling' is-not fresh, and "a
Loaf from an Old Lawyers Portfolio" is
somewhat stupid; but the translation from
the " Hitopadess Of Vishnu ssrmin" will
be found interesting, in spite Of its unoouth
title. About "The Tslmud," the populacs,
We fear, care but little, and if /" Aglaus" is
the poetry Of the Nineteenth Century we
had bs;ssr return to tho Eighteenth, OF
advance to tho Twentieth, with ss little
delay ss possible. The departments Of
Agriculture and Science, the Passes Of
Books, and the Dishes and Spoons, are a
great improvement on the June number.
And it is refreshing when the editor Of the
msgazine assumes that the most threadbsrs
quotation in that threadbare poem Lucille,
is s.new tomost Of his resders !" This is a
barbsrous country, doubtless, but Lucille
has been read even in this Southern cline.
The Nineteenth Century is Southern
publication, and We hope that it will pros,
per. 30 far, it has contained much Of good
and much of bad, and the editors will not,
We trust, think us improperly harsh when
We say that they need more assistance and
more strength to make their venture fully
worthy Of the support Of the public. 1t has
had good start, and if eur friends will
only realize practically that Southern
magazine, to be successful, must be at least
equal in ability to its Northern competitors,
they may gradually secure for the Nine
teenth Century position that will be full
Of honor and profit.
