A CASE or DEsERTIoN.-Thc worst
case of desertion of which we ever hear
was the scandalous manner in which Mrs.
DR.. Maj. Mary Walker abandoned the
cause Of woman the other dayin Washing
ton. She had been making one of her
periodical demands for office in the Trea-
sury department, and on being refused
burst into tears. This is a style of fgh-
ting which is understood to belong ex-
clusiVely to the softer sex, aud if the
major chooses to resort to it.. we must
take 1t for granted that she abandonS the
more masculine styles Of warfare, and
pleads the privileges of her sex. This is
awful! If Major Walker prove weak,
where shall strength be found? But really,
the women must not take everything.
Poor oppressed man should have some
means of defence, and it is downright
outrage to take the tears and the trousers
too.-New York Tribune.
A SPEAKING MACHINE.-Professor Fa-
ber's speaking-machine is to be exhibited
at Hamburg during the continuance of
the international horticultural Exhibition.
1t is said TO articulate various words, and
even to answer questions and simple SEN
fences with wonderful distinctness. This
is by no means the first invention Of the
kind that has been exhibited. Wolfgang
Won K%empelsen, the inventor of IA chess
automatOn, was born at PreSburg in 1894,
and died at Vienna, 1904, both constructed
a machine of the kind and wrote on the
subject. The machine about to be ex-
hlblted at Hamburg is, however, more
perfect than any previous invention Of
the kind,-Pu6gc Opinion.
A New CANAL = Monsieur Lesseps
proposes, according to Scientific Opinion,
to cut through the Isthmus of C0rinth,
which will shorten the journey from Mar

hours, and that from Trieste to the same

the canal would be two miles and a half,
and the expense, ffcommenced next spring,
only -, 900, 600 f., as a large number of
the workmen now employed on the greater
works at Suez could be transported at a

HIS OwN ASTAaoNIsT.-Lord Brough-
am, who figured in so many characters,
had also the credit Of m occasional
leader. A newspaper,tradit says that
Barnes, the editor, went one day to
Brougham, then chancellor, and, waiting
for him in his private room Mt the court,
took up tho Morning Chronicle, in which
there was that morning o denunciation
of an article Brougham had the day be-
fore written in the Times Barnes sus.
pected the authorship from the style,
and when the legal dignitary left the
judgment seat to speak to the editor, the
latter saluted the chancellor with, 'Well.
this is almost too bad. to demolish your
self in this way!" Brougham was taken
aback. Barnes saw at once that tho
random guess was hit, pursued his
advantage, followed up the attack, and
Brougham admitted that he was the
writer of the reply to his own onslaught.

"THAT DARLING FR1DAY!"- Brilliant
men are said to be fond of marrying un-
intellectual wives. Madame de Talley-
rand was no exception to the rule. She
was very pretty, but by no means clever.
A certain Sir, Robinson, who lad ira
veled in the East, being invited to dine
atthe minister's house, Talleyrand said
to his wife: *'Iwill leave a book for you,
my dear, on my study table; please to
read it, and then you will be able to talk
to Sir George when he comes to dine"
Talleyrand forgot to leave out the in
tended book, but his wife. anxious to
comply with his instructions, hunted
about the study, and finding "The Ad-
ventures of Robinson Crusoe," at once
jumped to the conclusion that the au-
thor was their expected guest, (the
French usually drop the word "Crusoe, -
and speak of "Robinson.') She read
the book diligently, and astonished Sir
George. on his entering the drawing
room, by instantly questioning him CON
cerning that darling Friday" ice cher

South CAROLINA SCHOOL IN New YORK.
Again we mike mention of the famous
female school in New York which is so
peculiarly identified with and patronized
by Sonth Carolina. Mrs. Edward B.
White, of Charleston, is at the head of
this school. AIS will be seen by her card
in another column, she has lately re-
moved out of Forty.third into Forty
second streets. Her house now fronts
on Reservoir Park. Search the city
throughout and you could not find n
finer location, in every respect, than
Mrs White now has. Mrs. White is
most admirably fitted for her present po-
sition. With the finest mental and
moral qualifications, and varied accom-
plishments of the highest order, she pos
sesses an individuality and practicalness
which will never fail to stand the crucial
test. We know Mrs. Whites school
practically, and do not speak from hear
say. We call upon South Carolina to
uphold and patronize her.

DEATH OF Ex-GovekNoR WonTu. 1t
becomes our painful duty, to-day, to
chronicle the death of that truly great
and good man, Jonathan Worth, ex-Go-
vernon of North Carolina, who quietly
breathed his last, at his residence in this
city, on Sunday night, at IL O'Clock,
after lingering and painful illness; aged
nearly sixty-seven years.
1t is not our purpose to attempt a
heightened eulogy on the life and charac-
ter OF this greatly esteemed citizen. and,
for number of years, highly honored
public servant of our State, but leave
this melancholy duty to the pen of some
one better qualified for the tack. In all
the relations OF husband, father, neigh
Dor and citizen, he had the love. esteem
and confidence of all with whom he was
connected. AS public officer, his
honesty, probity, moderation and firm
ness. were known and read of all men.
Holding the most responsible positions
in the financial and executive depart
ments OF our State Government, at a
time the most critical in our history,
when obstacles and difficulties not met
with in ordinary times were to be daily
encountered and overcome, he dis
charged his duties with unwonted fidelity
and almost universal satisfaction, and
came out with garments unstained, and
n name on which the breath of slandcr
dared not reathe.-Raleigh Sentinel.

COMMISSION on CoTroN. The Augusta
merchants have fixed the rate of con-
mission for selling at two and half per
cent. The Constitutionalist says: "This
is the same rate as was charged for seye-
raj years previous to last season, when,
from the keen rivalry existing, it was
reduced one-half. The experience, how
ever, of the year just past has clearly
shown that, with the high rents and in
creasing expense of living since the war,
as compared to that previously to it,,
one and quarter per cent. was no at
fair remuneration for the services rem
dered, and barely paid expenses. The
usual commission for the sale of mer-
chandise is five per cont, the rates for the
sale of cotton being only one-half that
amount"

The Memphis Aualanche pronounces
definitely for Emerson Etheridge for Sc
nator, and gives as 6. reason why, that,
if Andrew Johnson is chosen, straight
way Massachusetts, will transfer, as she
has threatened, Beast Butler from the
House of Representatives, to the Senate
Chamber; and the hall concentrated by
the eloquence of Clay, Calhoun and
Webster will become the theatre of the
most disgraceful broils. With Andrew
Johnson and Beast Butler in Congress,
the public mind would be OF once lashed
into fury. The people, now quiet and
anxious to secure permanent tranquility,
would soon find themselves in state of
fermentation"

ANOTHER OFEICE FOR H1M.-The Sud
Hcher Correspondent learns from the Cou-
rier that new Office, of inspector of
oils, will be created by the City Council,
and suggests that if Mackey cannot be
found to fill it, Major Corbin might per-
haps be prevailed upon to accept the pc.
stion. We do not think that the City
District-Attorney-Senator and Codifer
OF Laws would decline, if so be that the
Council will press it upon him.

The Burmese in India have m asso-
ciation for the preservation of the lives
OF animals, which holds feast every
year. The Burmese believe it is highly
meritorious to save Ill kinds of life, in
asmuch as the souls of men at their
death are liable to pass into the bodies
of the inferior animals. Accordingly
during. the month of April they go
through the bazaars and buy up all the
live fish they can find, as we'll rs fowls,
ducks, goats, COWS, turtles and other
animals. The fish are set free in large
lake in the neighborhood of Rangoon,
and the birds and beasts are turned loose
in the jungle.
