Why was it commanded in the Law,
''Thou shalt not curse the deaf" because it

AN ANCIENT Statue ExHUNED.


A late Greek paper mentions the discov-
cry, in the course Of some excavations in the
island of Cephalonia, of a statue of Her
culcs, entire in all its parts, and better pre-
served than almost any known relic of Gre
clan art 1t appears to belong either to the
very highest period of that art, the days Of
Phidias and Praxiteles, or, at least, to an
age but little later than theirs. The posture
is said to be very admirable, the body lean
ing toward the right, With the left shoulder
little elevated, the LETT hand wrapped
around with the lions skin, and the right
closed With grasp expressive Of mighty
strength. The right foot rests firmly on
the pedestal, while the left only touches it
on tiptoe. The whole expression is intense
ly life like, particularly that of the head
The hair and beard are thick and curly, and
the eyes full of brilliant expression.
A GOOD WFE.-We can always tell what
sort of woman a man marries, by the way
he treats the printe. If be gets a common
wife he forgets the printer altogether If
he gets a tolerably good wife he win send in
the notice of his marriage If he gets a
very good one, he will send the printer a
slice of cake accompanying the notice If
he gets an extra good one, be viii send a
greenback With the notice. And if be gets
a glorious, angelic creature-all affection
and goodness-he Is sure to send the printer
gold or silver dollar with the notice Of his
happiness No good wife allows her hus,
band to owe for his paper, and il their worse
half uoes not attend to these things, it is a
clear case of deception; because man that
won't pay for his paper viii deceive his
wife, and we have our opinion of SUCH

NEWSPAPER LAws.-We would cali the special
attention Of Post Masters and subscribers to the
iSQUIRER TO the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws!
l. A Postmaster is required TO give notice By
,eter, (returning paper does not answer the law
when a subscriber does not take his paper out Of
the Office, and state the reasons tor its not being
taken; and a neglect to do so makes the Postinas-
ter repsoastbis to the publishers for the payment
?, Any person who takes paper from The Post
Office, whether directed to his name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
3. If person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
elleet the whole amount, ichether Il Be taken fr9n,

0ence until the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders mis- paper to be
stopped at certain time, and the publisher con
tinues to send the subscriber is bound to pay for
1t, u he takes Il out of the Post Office, The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for what he uses.

The Dramatic Fund Concert.

1t may be almost superHuous to repeat the
appeal we made yesterday to our readers in
behalf of the praiseworthy objects Of the ORA
matte Fund concert, which 10 to take place
this evening at the Academy Of Music but
we cannot refrain from again urging the
peculiar claims of the Dramatic Fund upon q
community which, according to John Oxen
ford, is pre-eminently "a theatre-going COM
munity," and which should, therefore, be
specially mindful Of the wants of the sick and
distressed members of profession that contri-
butes so literally to its enjoyments 'Should
we allow those to be miserable who have 30
often made us and thousands happy? Should
we shut our hearts against those who have
touched them so truly-who have helped to
tighten the weight of existence and have made
us feel our kindred with world of sorrow and
of tears? Their art has the most sacred right
to the protection Of humanity, for it touches ii
most nearly" Surely, then, it becomes us
ito see the players well bestowed" An
honorable Judge in this city took occasion the
other day to eulogize from the bench the profess
sors of the dramatic art, and expressed the uni
versal sympathy with which they are regarded,
and to which they are richly entitled, alike
In their brilliant but brief moments of triumph
and in their mistortunes. Mrs. Moulton, the
beautiful and gifted lady whose singing will
form the most interesting feature Of this even
| ing's concert, has never volunteered her
graceful services for nobler charitable pur-
pose in Paris than the purpose to which the
proceeds of the Dramatic Fund concert are
to be devoted As Talfourd eloquently said of
a similar appeal 'Thc call will, we hope, be
answered practically by all who revere the
genius and love the profession and partake the
humanity Of Shakespeare"

The immense advantages which the Union possesses
in its vast variety Of climate, richness Of soil and

economic or scientific principles, the waste Is fully
equal to the yield. AT moderate calculation there

the countless uses to which iron Is applied, from tho
stern iron-clad to the delicate spring and wheel

were situated. The largest formation lies in the val.
ley between the Alleghanes and Blue Ridge, stretch
ing from Northern Alabama, through Georgia, Vir-
ginia, tennessee, New Jersey and New York. It
consists OF hemates and magnetic and specular

No CHINESE WANTED IN TENNESSEE
Yesterday in the Tennessee Legislature, on
bill Incorporating the Mississippi Valley
Importation Company, an amendment for
bidding the Importation Of Chinese into Ten
nessee was adopted-yeas ffty-three, nays
fifteen. Now, as the majority for the amend
ment comes from the conservative or demo-
cratic party, we infer that this party in Ten
nessee is satisfied with the negro for laboring
purposes, aud is afraid of the risks thinking him
up with the Chinese. We had supposed that the
Southern democracy were generally in favor
Of introducing the Chinaman, for the purpose
OF roofing out the African by cheaper labor
and by race nearer the white man. This
vote, however, in the Tennessee Legislature
indicates a different sentiment, or the begin
ming Of Southern reaction against the China
man and in favor Of the African. which is after
ALL perhaps, good sign in behalf Of harmony
between the Southern white and black races.

his fight should have been ignominiously dis

his resignation, doubtless thought it might
prove to be for the best; bat in this he has
evidently made mistake. Charity is a good
thing, but charity in such cases as this of
Blatchford is charity thrown away.

now hear from the Internal Revenue Depart

the present year by about five hundred per
cent over 1868. Some time ago we had SINH

of this increase is due to the more effective
and honest collection of the tax under the
present administration; but greater part is
due to the fact that the South is recovering,
with peace, its great productive vitality.

A HINT FOR THE WOMEN. is the
avoirdupois movement, which appears to
be exclusively, distinctly and imperti-
nently q masculine affair. Where are the
women2 win they leave this field to the fat
men2 We do not refer to the fat men at the
foot of Thirty-eighth street, North river, who
are such a trouble to the Board of Health and
to the nostrils Of their neighborhood, but to
those obese and astonishing magnates who
have recently come forward and invited the
world to admire them because of their great
ness in the scales. Why should women's
rights be neglected here? Why should men
have all the honor and applause that is due
to undue fat? Are there no fat women? We
call the attention of the women's rights agita-
tors to the fact that these fat fellows, who dare
not wear kid gloves for fear Of apoplexy, treat
the thinner sex with sort Of contempt in pro-
posing to make discount in weight in favor
Of the women TO be admitted to their ball. We
move that the society resolve that woman is as
fat as man. Lot these bloated scale damagers
be properly rebuked.

Railroad companies are too often enabled to
escape the penalty of doing serious damage to
those who travel on their roads. Passengers
who get killed or horribly MANNED have no
chance at all, because coroners juries are
always on the side of the railroad companies.
or, If they do happen to render a verdict
against the company, the friends of the dead
or the wounded are only too glad to accept q
compromise, sometimes of a very paltry
amount. But 1t appears that employees of the
railroads are not SO easily satisfied. In some
cases they appeal not to the company, but to
aJury OF their coIntrymen, and with good
effect. This occurred in the case Of Norman
I. Smith, who was ''pilot engineer" of q
special train on the New York Central Rail-
road, and who brought an action for damages
against the company in the Supreme Court at
Utica for injuries sustained by a collision on
that road more than year ago. The jury
thought that the damage done to the wounded
man entitled him to remuneration of eighteen
thousand dollars, 80 they awarded him that
amount. If injured passengers would adopt q
similar mode Of action in case Of accident rail-
road companies might be taught lesson
which would be valuable to the public.

THE RED RIVER INSURGENTS MOVING
Our latest dispatches last night from the
Winnipeg region state that the insurrection-
lists have seized the stores of the Hudson's
Bay Company and distributed the material
as rations among the men. The insurrec-
tionists are said to be sustained by a French
priest who is enlisted in their ranks. Reports
further state that the editor of the North West
newspaper had been restrained from publish
ing his newspaper because he refused to
print a proclamation of the insurgents, and
that the compositors of the Office were forced
to print 1t under threats of violence. So the
Winnipeg insurrection is evidently alive.

AQyEER CAsE.-In the Wcdekind blaclSmail-
ing case, now before Justice Hogan, it strikes US
as rather odd that so little seems to be made of
the charge of murder that is at the bottom Of
all. The first appeal to the authorities appears
to have been made by the alleged blackmailer,
who handed over to one of the coroners a
thousand dollar bill, with the allegation that
it had been given him to keep quiet in regard
to what he believed to be murder. There
upon we should have expected to hear of an
investigation whether a murder had really
been committed, and If any one was kept In
custody we should have thought it would be
the person charged with the crime. Instead
of that, this person retorts on the informer
with charge Of cxtortion Of money, and the
case is investigated on that charge rather than
on The more important one. Is not this an
unusual course ? Suppose the German doctor
did try to extort the thousand dollars--was
It the act of conscious innocence for the
woman to give him money for such a purpose ?

THE WOMEN AT CLEvELAND.-The women's
rights women have gathered in grand council
at Cleveland. The elements of late have been
very stormy. Hurricanes and floods, volcanic
eruptions and earthquakes have in both hem
ispheres disturbed the equilibrium of our
goodly planet. Tremblings of the earth have
been felt even In Massachusetts,. AT the same
time we see that material and moral forces are
combining, East and West, to revoutionize
The old order of things, mems rights and
women's rights included. So we cannot tell
what is coming; but still we think it likely
that this Cleveland assemblage Of the ladies
win be the old story of the mountain and the
