The True Georgian, newspaper printed al Atlanta
cannot give a simple announcement that Gen. Robert
Toombs is to lecture on magma Charta"-a topic
npon which great deal Of unmitieated nonsense
has been written rs well as sDokcn-without thus
altitudnOusly soaring:
"The grand and suggestive subject OF his lecture u
one cninenty fitted for the power Of such mind az
Toombs's and the plummet Of intellect which towers
prominent among the foremost forensic giants Of our
age will sound the profondest depths Of argument and
draw from their hidden depths the subtest metaphycsf
meanings that be attached to subject OF such deep
interest to the thinking and women Of this era"
Poh! What on earth the subt,est metaphysical
meanings Of magma ChaFta" inay be. we don't
know nor we fancy, did the Barcls bold. for whose
special benefit, and not for that VI their retneIs.

The long struggle before the Surrogate over
the will Of the late James y. Taylor was ended
some time since, and the public impaticnty
awaits the SuHogatc's decisio9 We do not
perceive that the testimony q the two wit
nesses to the execution of the will was i'm
peached or any wise shaken but we may
know more on that point when we read the
SurrOgatc's judgment.
At all events, we hope TO learn that this Off
cial guardian Of the widow and the fatlerless
has not awarded the oyster to the lawyers and
the shells to the legal heirs II the will Of tho
deceased is upheld, we trust that his estate
will not be apportioncd 10 those who sought
to upset it, Let no encouragement be given
to litigation by making the estate pay for
such an attempt. Congress has gone quite too
far in the way Of paying contestants for try
ing to get into seats to which they were never
elected let citizens heDccforth die nyeAed by
the apprehension that their estates Will bo
la,ished on those who try to break their wills.

Kentucky is to be pacifed and improved
against her will, if it be possible to compel
her from Washington. The Postmaster-Gen-
eral has threatened to take the mails from one
of the principal routes if the agents are not
protected from the Ku-Klux. As the Ku-Klnx
are not largely devoted to writing letters and
reading newspapers, this threat will doubtless
have little direct effect. but we do not despair
Of its influence on those State officials and
citizens who have encouraged the Ku-Klux by
their indifference. The Cincinnati and

Comments by The Tribune.


Not less than five thousand negroes, with
good many Whites, have been murdered by
Southern Rebels since the Appomattox surren-
der. 1t may be that one of those Rebels has been
hung for the murder of a White, but not one
has been even convicted Of murder by jury
of Southern Whites Yerger, the Mississippi
murderer of Colonel in the Union army who
had levied on said Yergers property for taxes
long unpaid, walks the streets of Vicksburg
free as air; we believe he has not even been
indicted. What says The World to this state
of things2
Kentucky Democracy is daily and nightly
whipping, manning and killing men guilty Of
of no oilense but the color of their skins. Even
The Louisville Journal protests against this; and
this has prompted the establishment of rival
Democratic organ which will treat the Ku-
Klux more graciously. This Scroggins case
is a fair specimen of her jurisprudence. Scrog-
gins murdered negro; other negroes
were the only witnesses of the crime;
they cannot all be put out of the
way; and it is not absolutely certain that
they may not be allowed to testify to the
facts: So the Jail is broken open 10y the ku-
Klux, and their comradc ScrogginS is liberated
and sent on his way rejoicing And yet nearly

The tawdry style of writing indulged
in by sensation mongers is fast usurp-
ing the place of the more sensible
commonplace in the newspapers. A
reporter nowadays, says the Louisville
Commercial, rarely chronicles a ofire. y
or ''house-burning" without prefxing
the stunning headl line of 'sFire Fiend. .
A railroad accident is always "Holo-
caust," and its victims are enumerated
under the sDeath- h-roll., A fight among
a party of black-legs becomes a ssCarni,
val of Crime" A band of silly woman
shriekers become Revolutionists. .
A conjuror is a "Prestidigitator.n a
fortune-teller is a 'sVaticinator, - and a
horse doctor veterinary Surgeon. -
This is silly abuse oflang1gage which
has grown out of the prevalence of vel
low-coyered novels, and it is as un-
wholesome in literature as it is false in
taste. In the narration &of current
events, good sound. English conveys
always clearer ideas and sounder les
sons than all the tawdryisms. with
which bad judgment is apt to overload
them, can ever do.

A Young Lady in Pursuit of Knowledge.

A correspondent from the Hub writes
as follows: A few evenings since, at a
party-as grand and elegant an affair
as an unlimited supply of money could
make tan elaborately dressed young
lady approached me with the exclama-
tion, "Oh, my dear Mrs. -, am so
glad to have found you Have you
seen that painting in the library some
thing about 10 and Jupiter. Now, who
were 10 and Jupiter 2" Although some
what surprised at the question, as the
lady was a graduate of q first-class
boarding school, and the gentleman on
whose arm she leaned, university
student, 1 proceeded to explain, and
had got as far as "Io was transformed
by Jupiter into p" Oh, yesi" inter-
rupted the lady with vivacity, 81 know,
into pillar of salt! I knew I'd heard
the story somewhere, only i couldn't
recall ;i. Come, Jack, that's the Strauss
waltz /" and they whirled away.

A Subterranean Pond Containing Eye
less Fish i'm Pennsylvania.

q
From the Montrose Penn.I Republican, March IA
1t is well known that great. trouble
and expense has been caused by the
sinking of portion of the track of the
new Jefferson Railroad where it crosses
swamp in Ararat township, In this
country. 1t has been found that under
the swamp is a subterranean pond, of
several acres in extent ana of consider
able depth. This pond is covered by
about six feet in depth of black earth.
which supports a heavy growth Of
woods. The trees are mostly soft
maple, pine, hemlock anu birch, many
OF them ranging from six inches to
three feet in diameter. Last fall il was
discovered that this subterranesn pond
contains many fish, of the kind usually
found in ponds in this part of theco
others-but all without eyesi In the
darkness of their subterranean abode,
they have no use for the organ of Wis
ion. The Ball pond, about mile and
half distant. is now "growing over"
considerable part of 1t has become
subterranenn within the last twenty
years, and, probably. before many
years it will be entirely covered -lfke
the other. THIS pond is about twenty
acres in extent. For seme distance
from the shore it is filed with a dense
growth of water-lillies, and these, no
doubt furnish the foundation on which
the superstruction of earth is COM
menced.

men speak of bees hanging out; or, in

days. / have had them commence
making combs under the hive; for fear

great many weeks in watching them
Two years ago, thought, as 1 was
watching them, 1 could hear them
whispering and saying, "Do give us a
home" Sol went and got an empty
hive, and washed it out with salt and
water and molasses, and set it close by
the other hive where the bees were
hanging ont; took a big pan and a
horse brush, wet the pan and brush
with the sweetened water, then brushed
the bees very carefully into the pan
and turned it up against the empty
hive, and let it remain there, while l
took the old hive away about ten or
fifteen feet. Then / returned and

An Enoch Arden Case in Real Life.

In 1862, a young woman named Mrs
Sarah Young married Joseph M. Abbott,
an actor playing in Pittsburg. Some
time after the marriage, the husband
went to the war, and after the lapse of
a year she failed to receive letters. She
made inquiry concerning him, but got
no information, and at length heard he
died in 1866. Four years after his
supposed death, she marrid Thomas L.
Williams, and ON the 28th, Abbott, the
dead actor turned up from the dim un-
certain. When he heard his wife had
married he would not see her, and ig-
nored her acquaintance, and Williams,
learning that she had been before mar
ried, refused to live longer with her.
Consequently she brings suit against
the latter to support three Children
