Thae Aliigator-Horse..

Nh. EDITOR: I see going the rounds
Of the newspapers, en- account OF that
alligator-horse, published in the Chrohi-
Gle and Sentinel, OF Augusta, Ga, as told
by the South Carolina Railroad conduc-
tor. He nosdoubt told the truth. so far
as he went-that the animal weighed
$50 pounds, and is perfectly docile and
domesticated; works splendedly in plow
harness, and far superior to mules or
horses, and that fine crop will be raised
by his assistance in cultivating the
crops. But thet railroad conductor
forgot, or did not know, the most i'm
portant particular in the use and econo-
my of this alligator-horse. He lives en-
tirely on pine-knots, of which "Mid-
way" on the South Carolina Railroad,
abounds. Yet, although he seems to be
completely docile and domesticated,
these exec. i've hot days, about midday,
he becomes uneasy and refractory; swal-
lows pine-knot, makes for the nearest
pond and takes water for about three
hours; when he comes out and is ready
for work A friend at my elbow, says
he thinks this alligator would be like the
negro's terrapin ut Pocotaligo. poke

A New IcE-MAK1Na MACHINE. There
comes from Germany promise of re-
lief from the want of ice. A certain
Franz Windhausen. of Brunswick, has
invented new machine for freezing wa
ter without the MD of chemicals. The
process takes place in cylinder, "where
tho air is first powerfully condensed, then
cooled by the admission of water, and
finally expanded till its pressure is about
equal to that Of tho atmosphere. By
this means, it is asserted, tho very us
tonishing result is obtained OF lowering
the temperature of the mir to fifty de-
grees Celsius Qour degrees Fahrenheit, }
so that when conducted III moderate
quantities into n space through which
water flows, ''the water is almost immedi-
ately turned into ice, of which enormous
blocks may thus be obtained if desired. u
The invention will also, tits said, be ap-
plicable to the cooling of large apart
ments. such rs theatres, hospitals, and
churches.

Tho Republic of Liberia is, from late
reports, in an exceedingly bad way. The
people have rebelled against some of the
new Presidents appointments, and
threaten them with assassination, if they
assume the cares and duties of Office.
While this pleasant state of affairs exists
within the republic, his Majesty OF
Ashantee makes an occasional raid from
without. and in the last, succeeded in
capturing and carrying off missionary,
for whom he demands ransom. Some OF
the afflicted friends of the gentleman, in
a burst of generosity, have sent this to
tho king, in the shape Of ga pair of scis-
sors and piece of gum coral" and al
though it is certainly valuing missionary
very cheap, it is to be hoped the equiva-
lent will be accepted. Whether it is or
not, it Will at least act as damper on
African missionary enthusiasm. No man
can entertain either ordinary respect or
future anxiety for people who estimate
a anissionary's value, cloth and all. ne

THE REPORTED RoUMANIAN MASSACRE
ALL A MUDD1E.-The story of the
Wholesale massacre of jewish men, wo-
onen and children III one Of the towns of
-.Roumnp3a, has not yet died out. By
smaN. we have received papers from
France and Germany, pnrporting to give
circumstantial details of the outrage,
with names, dntes and variety OF minu-
tia of the most particular character. AT
the same time, we have to acknowledge
a letter from the diplomatic agent Of
Roumania, at Paris, utterly denying the
whole affair and citing the contradictory
dispatches already published. So there
the matter rests; the dead victims, if
there be any, cannot speak for them
selves, and we are thrown back upon the
blessed conflict of petty, narrow, jaun-
diced opinions which ore rapidly destroy
ing the dignity and influence of the
press in many places. The only solution
of the Roumanian muddle thus far at-
tanned. is simply one worthy of Captain
Cutie and his great friend Bunsby-'Ii

THE GRAVE OF OSCEoIA-In the last
number Of Leslie'S Illustrated Ne'rS, APP
pears sketch Of the grave OF Osceola,
the Indian chief, near the walls of Fort
Moultrie. Accompanying tho sketch is
an account of Osccola's life and death,
from which we gather that he was thir-
ty-six years of age Mt the time Of his
death, and during his lifo had slain a
large number Of white persons in the
gladcs of Florida. His father was an
Englishman named Power, nnd his mo-
ther the daughter of Cherokee chief
tain. While on visit to an American
fort, she was seized and sold rs slave
This aroused the anger of Osceola, and
from that time to his capture, he waged
bitter war against the whites. On the
23d of October, 1887, while holding n
conference with General Jessup, near st.
Augustine, he was seized, with number
of his followers, and taken to Fort Moul-
trie, where he was closely confined until
his death. Osceola died as he had lived
hater of the race from which his father
had sprung. He lay on the couch in the
cell assigned, and with n frown as dark
rs cloud on his not unhandsome face,
he folded his arms across his ample chest,
and thus his spirit passed quietly away
to the happy hunting grounds of the
Seminolcs, where his braves were impa-
tiently awaiting his presence.

REFORMING THE WICKED.-Not long
ago, the Boston police made wholesale
capture of women found in the streets in
pursuit of an evil calling. Of the whole
number arrested, 1l3 we're allowed to go
constructively free, on condition that
they abandoned their wicked course Of
life. Fifty-six went home to relatives,
and became "reformed;" fifteen went to
respectable places of employment. five
wore surrendered by their bondsmen be-
cause they gave no evidences OF rcpen-
tance, thirty ran away and cannot be
found, ono went crazy, and six were adj
mitted TO q charity home. On the
whole, the system has worked for good,
and the authorities will continue to apply
it. If even ten per cent. of these women
are saved by it, society will have great
reason to rejoice.

A great "independencc" mass meeting
took place in Montreal. Canada, on Sat
urday night. In the course of ~ stirring
speech by Hon. John Young, one of the
leading local politicians, he said that the
time had come when Canada should
sever tho connection with Great Britain
and become au independent nation. At
this announcement the greater part of
the vast assembly cheered Justify. Mr..
Lalamme, Q c., said that an appeal to
England for support in case of on inva-
sion of the Dominion would be futile.
The present imperial administration had
deserted her colonies, aud proved her
self o step-mother to those who had
fostered the deepest affection for her.
It was, therefore, folly to think of any
thing but Independence. Other speak
ers followed in the same strain, and the
meeting adjourned to Tuesday. The
independence movement may therefore
be regarded as fully started in the Do
minion.

of tho "form" containing the marriage

ttThe exhibition in question is to be
held in Gratz, the capital of the ancient
Duchy of Styria, and one of the most
prosperous and agreeable cities in Eu-
rope. It has population of between
10000 and $4,000 souls, and lies in the
heart of ''green Steyermark, one OF the
very richest rural regions of the Euro.

fowls as Pennsylvania, Berkshire, or

destined to be, at no remote day, us
famous for good red wine as the best
provinces of France herself 1t is con-
nected by rail with both Vienna and
Trieste, the capital and the great seaport
of the Empire, lying nearly midway be-
tween them. Branch lines also bring it
into immediate relations with the mag
nificent agricultural territories Of Hun
gary and Croatia. Throughout all this
vast extent of country a great demand
already exists, and greater is constantly
springipg up, for agricultural lmple-
ments of all kinds. The committee in
charge of the exhibition at Gratz have
announced that they would not formally
undertake to receive goods after April,
1870, but such as may be sent after that
date will be cared for as fur as room for
placing them remains, and we have no
doubt that particular efforts would at any
time be made to secure proper attention
to any really valuable American contri-
buttons"

The Mexican rebels in the North
western part of the republic arc actively
ut work. On the 2Sth of last month, an
armed force, under Colonel Yascano,
captured the city of Guaymas, seized IL
quantity of arms and made levy on the
citizens amounting to 100000 No mat
ter to what pnrt Of Mexico we look, we
find revolution breaking out. The Go
vernment is openly defed, its laws tram
pied on, and Mexican citizens forced to
contribute to the support Of lawless and
desperate bands that are to be found
everywhere throughout the republic.
It is understood that orders will be
issued authorizing the assignment Of

keep the regiments up to the numeri-

mnnds upon the arm OF the service. 1t
is only with grent difficulty that colored
recruits are obtained, as this element of
the population seems to take very little
fancy to the military service on the
borders.

Boy SMoKERs.- and there, about
the street corners, and around the doors
OF places of amusement, you will see
lot of urchins, some of them decently
clad, and presenting respectable ap-
pearancc, who are engaged in asserting
their manhood by putting away at exc.
cradle cigars. 1t is FUR to presume that
their anxious mainmas are not aware Of
the foul habits their darling boys pick
up and practice outside Of the parental
roof; but for their benefit they should
know that it is stated that French ply
sician has investigated the effect of smok-
ing on thirty eight boys between the
ages of nine and fifteen, who were ad-
dictcd to the habit. ''Twenty-seven pre-.
sented distinct symptoms of nicotine
poison. In twenty-five were serious dis
orders of the circulation, indigestion,
dullness Of intellect and marked appe-
tite for stl ong drinks. In three there
was heart affection; i'll eight decided de-
terioration of the blood; in twelve there
was frequent epitoXis; ten had disturbed
sleep; and four had liberation of the
