.RIIcE AND HAR / ne.

For some inscrutable reason i
las been reserved for the most en-.
Iightcncd age of hUman progress
. exhibit a spectacle OF GSr6arism.
that almost hrggars belief in its en-
]istencc, and transccnds the inScn.
ale tollics o that group OF nations.
who in the middle centuries, under
such scourSes As Attila, spread de-
,astation'and ruin from their north
I'm lairs. This spectacle too is
furnished in one OF the great foci,
If not the very focus OF the enlight-
ned world. 1t almost proves that
utilization is but Il thin and bril-
liant mockery beneath which are
numbering lurid fires that may
'asily burst through the shining
veil, and end in ruins.
Paris is stepped in crime and dcs-
olation, whose outward sigus arc
blood and ashes. With her own
land, France tears open the scars
If conquest, as if yet unsatcd with
blood, and tries to revenge the hui
initiation OF conquest upon herself
i is the baftIed adder singing itself
10 death. The world looks supinely
IN this self l~aceration it is not the
worlds quarrel, but its spectacle, its
show, and the world can do without
France if France can do without the
world.
History repeats itself in %rcvolu-
tons. France is a moral volcano;
one eruption weakened down from
exhaustion, only waits to gather
,trength for its repetition. Is the
world better for France? 1t is u
question on which all the casuistry
If the age could be brought to bear.
She has done for science perhaps
what no other nation has done she
mas done for morals what no other
nation could do. OF her hereafter,
tho Present gives nc sign. Reduced
to a third-ratc power, She may be
rendered incapable OF political mis-
and capable Of much good to
utilization and the arts. The seeds
IF inidelity with which her very
soil seems imprcgnated would die
ont for want of the sustenance Of
blood with which military glory
ha enriched them. There must
he a Radical change in Frenchmen
before France can safely ascend to
her former glory and take her place
with the railing Powers.

The Tennessee Wild Han,

The Jackson Tennessee Wing, of
the 18th inst, says: We learn that
between Sobby and CruinSyillc, ON
what is called Piney, in McNairy
county, Il strange aud trighttul be
ing has been observed for several
weeks. lie is said to be seven feet
high, and possessed OF great muscu
ian power. His eyes are unusually
large, and fiery red his hair hangs
IN a tangled and matted mass of
jet below his waist, and his beard
reaches below the middle. His e. :
tire body is covered with hair, and
his whole aspect is most frightul.
He shuns the sight OF men, but ap-
proaches with wild and horrid
screams Of delight every woman
who is unaccompanid by a man.
He sometimes with great caution
approaches houses; and should he
see a man, runs away with astonish-
ing swittness, leaping the tallest
fence with the ease Of a deer, defy
ing alike the pursuit Of mon and
dogs. He has frightened several
women by attempting to carry them
off, as well as by his horrid aspect,
and the whole country around Sob
by sin CONSERVATION. The citizens
are now securing the woods, and
are determined either to capture
or drive off the monster.

VERY PROBABLE.-Vhc Bridgeport
Farmer tells a remarkable story in
regard to what, not many years ago,
would have been considered Il mira.
Gle. 1t says that in the "old Divis-
ion street graveyard" at Bridgeport
there is q marble slab marking the
grave of Robert Linus Backus, who
died on the 10th of February, 1884,
aged II years and 9 months. On
the reverse Of the stone is q stain
which represents Il woman grasping
a club with which she is in the act
of striking; all attempts to oblitor-
ate the stain by scraping are
Intellectual, and "we are told" that
this is the fifth stone which has
marked the spot, the preceding ones
having boen removed on account of
their invotorate tendency to repre-
sent the same scene. The legend
connected with this singular circum-
stance is that the child was killed
by its mother.
