AN INTERNAL CRIME.-The crime charged
against Il man named Lange, dealer in pic
ture frames in this city, is one that should give
him a pre-emincncc in the criminal catalogue
for diabolical intent. lie shipped box in
April last on the New Orleans steamer and Sc
cured an insurance on it of 81, $50, and the box
proved to have been prepared with explosive
and inlammable material, and was only pre-
vented from burning the slip by the watchfill-
ness and activity of the captain. In the box
were vessels of alcohol, gasoline and turpentine,
and fire was apparently to be set to these by a
chemical that would explode with friction
The friction was provided for by mice shut in
box, who, in gnawing their way out, were to
fire the train that might have destroyed the
ship and all her company at sea. Here then is,
if the charge prove true, man who deliberate
ly contrives that awful calamity, fire, on ship
at sea-contrives the possible frightful death of
twenty or thirty persons-to secure the small
prize of sixteen hundred dollars insurance.
He should be tried by jury of sea captains
and sailors. 1t is remarkable coincidence
that this crime was attempted against the
steamer George Washington, while some years
since crime of the same nature was contrived
in the shipment of goods on the Mississippi
steamer Martha Washington.-NeaO York Her

At Sydney, Ohio, a young woman went
into store and asked for feline intestines for
lyrical purposes" He told her he was out OF
them, but he had some mighty good cat gut
fiddle strings. She tainted, and had to be car
ried out on revenue stamp. Such is life.
-"What's that picture on ?" said q coun-
tryman the other day in print-storc to the
proprietor, who was turning over some engra-
wings. 'That, sir" said the dealer, "is Joshua

Which is Josh, and which is his SON."
The editor of the Hancock (Ky.) Messen-
ger, in farewell address in his expiring jour
nal, regrets that he "has not had the pleasure
of writing the obituary of several of the mise
rable skinhints of the town." This is the bit
terness of impecuniosity.
An English farmer lately placarded the
following announcement: "Extensivesale ofliv
stock, comprising not less than 10000 head,
and an unlimited right of pasturagc" 1t
turned out that he had several hives of bees to
sell.

There are two ways of setting up in life.
One is to begin where your parents are ending.
"Magnifcent mansion, splendid furniture, and
an elegant turnout Is not that the pretty
dream of many about starting in life? The
other is to begin little nearer where father and
mother-of blessed memory-begun. You see,
my dear friend you can go up so easily and
gracefully, if events show it to be safe but it
would be trying and awkward to come down
And it costs much, now, to live; and business
fuctuates; and health is uncertain; and temp
tations from the side of pride are so strong; and
many young man who did not mean to be ex-
travagant, has been led along, and rather than
face the position and descend manfully, has
tried to keep up by embezzlement, and been

NEVER Too LATE TO Do GooD.-In their
weakness and age, disappointment and sorrow,
human beings sometimes feel that there is
nothing more which they can do. But whoever
is cast down by feelings, does not comprehend
the possibilities of his nature, nor the promises
of Coo concerning his strength and usefulness
even while in this body Of dust There is a
man in Connecticut who planted seeds for an
apple orchard after he was fifty years old. We
have stood and looked with him at his trees
thus produced whose trunks are as the bodies
of common men, and whose branches are broad
and thrifty, from which he has gathered thou
sands of bushels of the choicest fruit. 1t is
never too late to do good-it is never too late
to sow the seeds of truth, in hope that in due
time the full branching and the complete fruit
age will be ours to cheer and bless us through
life's pilgrimage.

TIE FIRST NEGRO CApEr-Considerahle

The FIRST NEGRO CADEr.-Considerab
excitement was caused here on the arrival of
the colored appointee for the Mississippi cadet
ship. His name is Michael Howard, and his
pure African descent is unmistakably manifest
ed in his clear black complexion, large white
eyes, and closely crimped hair. His personal
appearance is by no means unprepossessing.
In height he is about five feet four inches his
figure is well rounded, and his carriage not at
all ungraceful. His countenance has pleas
ant, shrewd and resolute expression. 1t is quite
evident that he is aware of the peculiar position
in which he is placed, and that, although SEN
sitive, he is not embarrassed nor discouraged
His appearance as he wandered about the
Plains, carrying in his hand an immense carpet
bag, and inquiring the direction to the Com
mandant's Office, was somewhat amusing. He
was politely informed that he was in advance
of the appointed time, and that new cadets
could not be examined until after the 25th. He
then endeavored to procure board, but every
where he applied was informed that there were
no accommodations left, whereupon, he pro-
ceeded to the village of Highland Falls, two
miles below, and applied at Cozzens Hotel.
Dinner and supper were furnished him there,
but all the rooms were "engaged; )" so he had
recourse to a colored family who live near by,
and who are now entertaining him. Hcappears
very quiet, but apparently determined to push
things" resolutely. His advent is the sensation
of the season. The cadets, especially, are not
little exercised in mind over the matter, and
it is a theme of not little contentious argu-
ment. Even the officers, while discarding all
political bias in the matter, and after having
fought for the colored race both at the pools
and ON the battlefield, while feeling kindly
toward him, speak very doubtfully on the ex-
pcdicncy of this venture They regard it MS n
more decided advance of the colored man into
social circles than even the elevation of Scna-
tor Revels to the Congressional rank. The po-
sition of the new cadet if accepted and retained,
must grow moro and more embarrassing from
his isolation and the peculiar novelty of his
social connections. No doubt but this recruit
will have thorough initiatory "devilment"
from the cadets, to sustain which will test his
fortitude Otherwise he will be treated, by
both officers and cadets, with courtesy and
Kindness their sense of honor being too high
to permit any other course.-West Point Cor.

LEFT-HANDED CoMPL1MENTs.-The Louis
vile Courier-Jomnal contains the following:
A short time ago we had an article on the
subject of thai. .blood-and- thunder sort of jour
nalism which prevails where some bully or
blackguard has contrived to possess himself of
a cheap printing press, hatful of old type and
u keg of tar, and we gave some specimens OF
editorials emanating from such sources. In
that article was the following commentary up
on paragraph from Mississippi paper, touch
ing what it styled the "Okolona ink-slinger" Z:
"Mark the sentences we have thrown into
italics, and note the unutterable baseness of the
Okolona ink-slinger, who, when branded as
liar by the Republican, not only refused to re-
tract his first two charges against that journal,
''as gentlemen would have done" when thus
branded, but actually increased the number to
seven Such an act of scoundrelism is wholly
without precedent even in the history of scala
wag journalism"
The Okolona (Iiss.) Ne,vs, who is the Okolo-
ma ink-slinger referred to, it seems, copies the
above and appends thereto these friendly re-
marks:
'Thus yelps the dirty hireling of the Louis
vile Comicr-Jounal. That he is base pol
troon is very evident from the above, as no
gentleman occupying his position would
haye made use of such language with matters
not concerning him. Therefore we brand this
miserable abortion in the shape of humanity
as a foul-mouthed slandcrer and unmitigated
liar"
1t has been the study of our lives to win and
retain the good opinion of our fcllow-citizens
throughoutthe country, and itisa source Of great
pride to us to believe that as general thing
we have succeeded; but there is vague, unde-
fined something pcrvading the above paragraph
which leads us to fear that, with the Okolona
Nelps we have failed.
