Horrible Superstition.

A singular case of superstition,
cruelty, and attempted crime was re-
vealed in Hoboken yesterday morning.
As one of the Hoboken policemen was
patrolIing the Elysian Fields, he noticed
man and boy walking near the waters
edge, and the singularity Of the mans
actions attracted his attention, and he
determined to watch him. He followed
him for short distance, concealing him
self behind the trees, and when the man
thought he was unobserved, he suddenly
seized the Lad in his arms, and waded
into the river with him. When he had
arrived at a point where the water was
deep enough for his purpose, he sud
denly plunged the child into the river,
and attempted, despite his screams and
struggles, to drown him. The officer at
once rushed into the water, and rescued
the boy from his would -be-murderer,
whom he arrested and conveyed to the
station-house. On being arraigned be-
fore Recorder Pope, the prisoner made
a singular statement, of which the fol-
lowing is an epitome: He said that his
name was Henry sFriedman that be
was Swede by birth, and member of
a sect called the Seconeiz," whose be-
lief it is that any child murdered before
it reaches the age of six years will go
directly to Heaven, while its murderer
was also entitled to special honors in the
spiritual world for his achievement.
His wife, he said, was also believer in
this inhumam doctrine, nd has given
her full consent to the perpetration of
the crime, which had it not been for the
fortunate presence of Officer Burke,
would certainly have been accomplished
The lad BEINGS sstioned, said that his
mother lived at No. Prospect street,
Jersey City, and on being sent for stated
that her husband left home in the morn
ing to visit her sister, who resided In
New York-that she knew nothing of
the - Seconeiz" doctrine which her hus-
band spoke of, or of the attempted
murder of the boy whom she loved with
all the affection of mother. She fur
ther stated that her husband was a
confirmed spirituahst and was subject to
temporary fits of insanity, and she had
no doubt that he was crazy, and re-
quested the Recorder to have him sent
to the lunatic asylum. Recorder Pope,
taking the same view of the case, and
believing that Friedman was in such
state of mind as not to be responsible
for his actions, he directed him to be
sent to Jersey city, where he is now
locked up until such time as the author
titles can take the necessary steps to
secure his admission to the State asylum
at Irenton.-Nelo York Democrat, 1871.

The Aurora BOseaIis.

The New York Journal Of Commerce,
in carefully considered article, as if
from some scientific pen, submits the
following theory (original as far as it
knows to explain the phenomena of the
aurora borealis, as displayed a the
magnificent exhibition of last Thursday
night " The aurora borealis is the silent
discharge of accumulated electricity in
the atmosphere, furnishing the same
relief to nature as flashes Of lighting
under other conditions. The phenomena
of the northern lights are in all respects
electrical. But the electric nature
Of Thursdays aurora borealis
was demonstrated eonclusiyely by its
effect on telegraph wires. When a
thunderstorm occurs the wires become
charged with electricity, which some
times affects them so perversely that they
cannot be worked, and at other times
furnishes an efficient substitute for the
galvanie battery. Precisely these effects
were observed on Thursday night At
New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
and some other places, the auroral elec-
tricity charged the wires and enabled
operators to work them without recourse
to batteries At St. Johns, Newfound-
land, the most northern point from
which we have any report, the aurora
seriously interrupted the operation of
the telegraph-possibly because the
current supplied from the air was too
strong for the work to be done. No
doubt remains, after the testimony
given by many intelligent observers in
various parts of the country, that the
aurora is attended by the release of
enormous quantities of electricity.
The theory which we propose is the only
one which explains why the aurora
borealis is seen only in the arctic Cor
antarctie) and temperate zonas-never,
or ra9ly, in the torIid zone--and also
why it is visible here only (or chiefly
in the fall, winter or spring months
not in the summer. In the tropic zone,
and in the warm months, the accumu-
lated electricity in the atmosphere is
discharged under entirely different con-
ditions, as lightning, with thunder, dur
ing heavy showers OF rain.

Bad Dressing.

Men as well as women" says the
Pail Mall Gazette, in an article on the
dress Of English women, sometimes
dress in an eccentric manner from mere
caprice, or from an idea that it is un-
worthy of sensible person to take any
trouble whatever about dress. They
think it is creditable to them to say, I
do not care how l dress. In reality, it
only shows that they are untidy by
nature. No man pays his brains com
pliment by going about the streets a
sloven. Men of talent, great writer's
and great orators, must cherish the be-
lief that they are superior to dress, or
the shabbiest men in the community
would not be found so often in their
ranks. Clever women usually show the
same contempt Of dress. If untidiness
were confined to them, it would not be
Of very much consequence, but it is
more general with their sex, strange to
say, than with ours. And yet very few
women can prudentIy disregard the at
fractions which they might derive from
dresses of grateful tints and perfect
shape. The draggle-taiIed appearance
Of married women of the poorer class is,
we do not doubt, one cause Of the pre-
ference which their husbands show for
the public house. It must be miser-
able thing to live in the same house with
a woman who is, fguratively speaking,
down at heel all over"

the right of secession, and threatened to
exercise it; that Mr.. Lincoln himself
asserted, in general terms, the right of
any people or portion of a people, locally
distinct, to choose its own government; {;
and that Horace Greeley, up to the very
last, insisted that, if the South chose,
she had a right TO go iRpeaee. He
himself disapproved the policy of seces-
sion. but asserted to the fullest degree the
absolute nature of the right, and the
suficiency of the provocation andIhe
calls Webster to testify, in very distinct
terms, that the systematic violation of
the Constitution in the case of fugitive
slaves was alone sufficient vindication
of the total reputation, by the South,
of compact with the North observed
only as far as she pleased.
1t is impossible, within our limits, to
give fair idea even of the outlines of
such an argument; much more to con-
vey just impression of lucidity, power
of thought, vast and appropriate readiI g.
and vigorous reasoning by which it is
sustained. 1t would be difficult to
name a more perfect masterpiece of
constitutional reasoning and political
disquisition; a work which might with
greater advantage be placed in the hands
of the young lawyer who desired to see
how those high questions which are the
common ground of the lawyer, the his
torian, and the statesman, can be treated
by one who combines the qualifications
of all three. The book is perhaps
hardly suited to the general reader, but
it may be confidently recommended as
to every one who wishes
really to understand either the Federal
Constitution or the Civil war; and it
will be ranked among the most valuable
of those materials which the writer's of
this age are accumulating for the future
historian of America.

Color blindness is much more frequent
than is generally supposed, for those who
are afflicted with it are mostly ignorant
of the defect, and frequently practice
trades or professions in which perfect
sensibility to the different hues of color
is quite indispensable. An instance Of
this occurred some time since in the
case of an engine-driver, who allowed
his engine to run into a luggage train,
through not noticing the red danger
signal. At his examination it was
proved that he was eolor-blind, and
could not distinguish red from green.
Partial color-b blindness is, no doubt, the
cause of the frequent disputes that We
hear about the tints Of certain objects /;
to say nothing Of the glaring instances
of bad taste in the arrangement of color
that are nowadays so common. Out
of forty boys at school at Berlin, who
were examined by Leebeeh, he found
FIVE who we're quite confused IN their
notions of coiog, and could not distin-
guish between ordinary shades Of the
same hue. This affection Is in many
cases hereditary, descending from father
to son. 1t is singular that instances Of
color blindness are much more common
amongst men than amongst women. for
out of over five hundred cases there
were enly four in which females were
the sufferers It seems also that persons
with gray eyes are more frequently color
blind than those whose eyes are blue or
brown.
Here is an explanation of one OF the
most impressive tricks exhibited in New
York by Heller and others, which

pact. And Gen. Jackson in explain
ing the famous Proclamation in which
he had denounced Notification, and in
which certain expression had given
great alarm by their apparently FEEDER
aist tendency, carefully aseribes the
Constitution to "a compact among the
several States" as " Independent com
munities. Again, he spoke of them as
" sovereign members Of our Union, and
in his farewell address solemnly adjures
the people to maintain the rights and
sovereignty Of the State"
A sovereign can have no Judge; aud
the Federal Constitution provided no
means by which one State could bring
another to justice for wrongdoing or
nonful6llment of engagements. In like
manner there existed no legal mode by
which the Federal Government could
eoerce State which should exercise the
right Of sovereignty to redress its
wrongs under the compact by denoun-
cling the compact itself. A sovereign
power is the judge Of its own rights.
Its subject must obey it, and defend it,
right or wrong 1t follows, therefore,
from the sovereignty of the States, that
they were entitled legally to secede if
they chose, and that their choice Of the
State. This was the view on which
