This ingenious machine consists Of simply q
metallic tube or hollow arm, provided with fin
gers like the human hand, that rapidly pick the
cotton from the balls, and pass it quick as
thought through the hollow arm into a sack
swung from the shoulder. 1t can be operated
very rapidly and has the capacities Of the hu-
man hand many times multiplied-doing the
work of FIVE or six men, and does it better,
picks no dirt with the cotton, does not crush the
staple, or injure the fibre, and any one with no
skill and little labor can use Il.

The case of Chaloner, lad of six.
teen, who last winter shot Lieut.. Whit
aker, of the British army, for the Sc
duction of his sister, has been brought
before a grand jury at Quebec. The
Judge in his charge said:
'In every case of homicide, upon
provocation, how great soever that
provocation may be, if there be suffic.
lent time for passion to subside, and
for reason to interpose before the NOR.
tai blow is given, the homicide will be
murder. If man find another in the
act of adultery with his wife, and in
the first transport of passion kill him
this is manslaughter, but if be kill him
after the fact and after sufficient
time for his passion to cool has inter.
vened, it is murder. This was the
law, as laid down by the best author.
tiles"
When the Canadian fruit, so near.
ly ripe, drops into our mouths, it is
sincerely to be hoped, for the benefit
of the temporary "insane," that the
laws which hold that the killing of a
man, even under considerable provo.
cation, is murder, will not be annexed
also. Probably a score of persons,
guilty of the same character of offense
as young Chaloner, have gone trium,
phantly out of our courts within a
year. Under this ruling most of them
would not have been cheered by the
people at their escape, and possibly
less killing might have been done, were
the injured" parties not perfectly sure
of acquittal.-Freeman.

VERY CLEAR.-Think of twelve in
nocent looking gentleman in a box in
Smith county, Texas, listening with
wide-open eyes to the following
charge: "If the jury believe in the ev-
idence, that the plaintiff and the de-
fendant were partners in the grocery
business, and that the plaintiff bought
out the defendant, and gave his note
for the interest, and the defendant
paid for the note by delivering to the
plaintiff a COW, which he warranted
not breachy, and the warrant was bro
ken by reason of the breachiness of
the COW. and he drove her back and
rendered her to the defendant, but he
refused to receive her, and the plain
tiff took her home again and put a
heavy yoke on her to prevent her from
jumping fences, and by means of the
yoke she broke her neck and died
and if the jury further believe that the
defendants interest in the grocery
was worth anything. the plaintiffs
note was worthless, and the COW gooc
for nothing, either for beef or mill
then the jury must find out themselves
how they will decide the case, for thu
Court, if she understands herself
and she thinks she does-don't know
how such case should be decided.
The verdict was eyes, and both par
ties appealed.

EXCITING ADvENTURE-A YOUNG
MAN BURNED IN A WELL.-Lately a
young man narrowly escaped from
death in well at Ireland's Corners,
n. Y. The young mans name was
Dixon, and he was engaged in clean
ing out a well on the premises of Mr..
Burbanks. While so engaged the
well caved in upon him, burying him
completely from sight. A gang OF
men were Immediately set to work,
though hardly with hope of rescu-
ing him, and after working some eight
hours succeeded in digging him out
entirely uninjured. The falling walls
had fortunately formed an arch just
over his head, thus saving him from
instant death. During that long pc.
Rod his head remained firmly pressed
down upon his breast, and his arms
were also pinioned. But a few inch
es space remained for his head above
water, and his lower extremities were
embedded in the earth beneath. Yet
he did not suffer for want of air, and
during the whole time distinctly heard
the men engaged in their efforts to
rescue him from his perilous condi,
ton. 1t was remarkable escape.

number of negroes since the war, thro'

The Big AUSTRALIAN GOLD NUGGET.
The story OF the discovery OF an
immense gold nugget in Australia is
thus related by a Melbourne CORES
pondent OF the New \ ork Herald:
1.-TWO meu had been working tor
long time Ill a claiT at Dunolly,
where "a jear or so age they had
found a couple of nuggets weighing
respectively los and SO ounces. They
had again, however, got dead broke ;
the storekeepers had refused them
any further credit, and they were feel
ing very badly indeed, when one of
them, In following the claim by work
ing round tho roots OF q troo, struck
something hard with his pick immedi-
ately below the surface. He had no
idea, however, what had stopped his
pick, for, miner-like, he grumbled out,
I'COnfound it, wish it was a nugget
and had broken the pick. The mug
get, when it was unearthed, was found
to weigh 2lO pounds troy, and, on
smelling, it yielded 2266 ounces and
III pennyweights OF pure gold. 1t
was scarcely covered by the earth,
aud was less than a couple OF inches
below the surface. Dunolly, the
ground Oh which this golden monster
has been found, is very old digging,
but has never been regarded as hrSt
class field. Every now and then a
big nugget has been found, but what
ever gold has been obtained has been
discovered in pockets. The 'Wel-
come Stranger is the largest nugget
Oh record III Australian mining an
mails, and, III fact, is believed to be
the largest mass of gold ever discov-
cred. The largest nuggets previous
ly found III Australia were as follows ::
The Welcome nugget, found at Balla-
rat at a depth of 1870 feet and weigh
ing 1874 pounds 8 ounces; the Blanche
Barkly, found at depth of Is feet,
t Hangover, and weighing AS
pounds ) ounces; nugget at Cana
dian Gully, BaIIarat, weighing 1874
pounds IL ounces, at a depth of 60
feet; the Lady Hotham, weighing SO

The WILLIAMSBURG MURDER.--T
Northampton Gazette gives the full
particulars of the brutal murder of his
wife by John Dorsey, at Williamsburg,
on Saturday evening last, as the facts
were elected before a coroner's jury.
1t appears that Dorsey had long lived
on unhappy terms with his wife, had
of late become more abusive and quar-
relsome toward her, and she, in self
protection, few weeks since, caused
his arrest, and he was sent to the
House of Correction at Northampton
for thirty days. This act of his wife
seemed to incense him all the more,
and he openly threatened On his re-
lease to kill her. The threat came to
the knowledge of Mrs. Dorsey, and
she was preparing to leave the house
and not be there when the time of his
confinement expired, which would be
either on Friday or Saturday of this
week. He obtained leave of sheriff
Longley to go home Saturday night,
promising to return Monday morn
ing. He went to Williamsburg, walk
ing to Florence, and there taking the
cars about s o'clock. He borrowed
some money OF his daughter, who
works in Northampton, and she, mis-
trusting that all was not light, having
heard of her fathers threat, left on
the same train, and saw her father
get on the cars at Florence, but avoid
ing him she reached the house some
minutes before her father, and notified
her mother. Both mother and daugh-
ter started to leave the house, bu1
were met near the door by the fend-
ish husband and father, who, without
further warning, commenced to pound
and beat his wife over the head with
a club. From the hideous and ghast-
| ly appearance OF the remains it is
probable that he continued to beat
her long after life had departed. After
satisfying his hellish desire he drag
ged her back into the house, took $54
from her person, and leaving her re-
mains near a bed, stupefed himself
with liquor, and laid down near her
The daughter escaped and notified
the neighbors. Soon came constable
Ii. A. Bisbee and several citizens, ar.
rested him, and he was Immediately
taken to Jail. He exhibited the most
stolid Indifference as to what he had
done and cared little for his future
fate. A dispatch received last night
states that Dorsey has been commit
ted for trial. The evidence against
him leaves no question whatever of
his guilt, and public feeling generally
anticipates his conviction and execu
ton for his terrible crime.

A NEGRO DEFEATED.-Some excite

A NEGRO DEFEATED.-Some excite
ment is manifested in political circles
in Washington over the defeat o.. one
James NJ. Simms, a colored candi-
date for postmaster at Savannah,
Georgia, and the choice of his white
opponent, Cleft. Mr.. Sumner was OF
course Simms' "next friend" and man.
aged his chances with postmaster Gen
eral Creswell, who gave him the APP
pointment, but Gen. Grant overruled
the doings of his cabinet officer and
gave the office to Mr.. Cleft, whereat
there is a howl of Indignation swelling
up from the bowels of sundry politi-
clans that cannot be satisfied unless
everything is sugar coated with the
inevitable negro, and white men are
ever at the bottom of the ladder
These men call the appointment OF
Mr.. Cleft "the triumph of caste" and
speak as though they thought the re-
bellion was all Tor nothing and the
war would have to be fought over
again. All this talk is simply ride
ulous and ioolish-exhibiting we think
more Of the demagogue than the pa
triot. We wonder if it is Gen. Grants
duty to appoint a negro to office mere
ly because he asks for it. 1t seems
to US that the white man has an equal
right with the negro in the race for
official honors, though these new born
philanthropists do not seem to think
SO. We go in for equality of races,
and think the blacks have thus far
been well served by Grant, and that
neither they nor their friends have
any grounds for complaint.
