Tho Jackson Miss. Pilot says: "Five
persons have recently been found dead
in the Southern part of this State, under
mulberry trees. Death in all these cases
has been attributed to eating mulberries
which had been impregnsted by locusts.
In the stomach Of one colored boy, says
the Woodhnll Republican, were found q
quantity of mulberry seeds and the
LOCUST eggs. Two children in Wilkinson
County are also reported to have

Upon visiting the music hall of Mr..
LyBrand, OH yesterday, we had the plea
sure of inspecting fine piece of paint
ing-the work Of local talents. This
was the portrait In oil Of our veil known
townsman. Mr.. Orchard. ST., executed,
without instrumental aid, by his gifted
and accomplished daughter, Miss Euge.
mia. In the department of landscape
drawing, as we'll as in that Of portrait
painting, this young lady has already
achieved quite success, and We hope
that she will be pleased to pursue her
high art until she wins yet greater honor.
In the portrait referred to, it occurs to
US that the young painter has caught
the EXPIRE: sion of her subject with evi.
dent art, and tho drapery is we'll exc
outed. Usually ladies confine themselves
to the needle, and they are not without
honor who thus fulfill tho duty that de-
wolves upon them. But fortunate are
they. who can also WELD the brush Of the
artist, md put on canvas the featnres Of
living men and women, or striking OBJ
jeots in nature. Aud when such talents
are possessed, it is expected OF tho pos
SCISSOR that she will make tho most of tie
generous gifts Of Heaven.

IL was in itself a victory OF taste and in
dustry. And although no human being
has ever read the legends which enoir-
oled it in animated bronze, we knew that
they told of great wars, and that this
was the bronze Of l, 200 cannon taken in
The German countries. and that it meant
the unspeakable glory OF the great Em-
peror. Apd I said, great is Napoleon
and beautiful is the column, and this
bronze trhcery has q deep meaning to
those who read history. But the thought
that to-day people have been brave
enough to root ont monument to mur-
der; to soy that there is higher mission
for nations of valiant people than Re-
ppblicanism; that the time has come for
people to do what State.craft has iailetl
to do yet, namely. to mako peace and
courtesy and living in the world which
God sent them to occupy. without, of
necessity, cutting their neighbor's
throat; the thought that this poor Com
mune. with all it's recorded knaveries,
has been wise enough to see this, and
brave enough to bear witness to it, will
live for ages as Its best contribution to
humanity aad brotherhood. The falling
OF this column will be heard throug ughout

TIE UNITED STATES AND ENG.
LAND

ONE of the first fruits of the visit of Thomas
Hughes, Esq, to this country is the forma-
tion of ''The Anglo-American Committee" I"
We printed in full few days ago the circular
setting forth the purposes of the association,
the means by which it intends to work, and
the names of the men who have joiHed to-
gether 'to obtain the best securities for the
maintenance of a friendly understanding,
and for the cultivation of more cordial rela-
tions, between the United States and Great
Britain" Mr.. Hughes is foremost in this task,
as he has been in SO many other wise under
takings, and the names of those who
have joined him are we'll known for the
active and intelligent zeal with which they
have labored in SO many enterprises for polit-
ical reform both at home and abroad. Lord
Hobart has written a very exhaustive and
thorough paper in the Alabama question;
Herbert Spencer and Fowell Buxton are
almost as well known here as in England;
Mr.. Mundella made short visit to this coun-
try, but he has left long memory of his
hearty admiration of what he found good, and
his wholesome and outspoken CORE ,tion of
what he thought faulty, in our systems of
education, of trades unions, and of the other
matters in which his experience had fitted him
TO be sound Judge. The men thus brought
together mean to spread sounder views of the
questions in controversy between the two
countries, and to bring together citizens Of
politics, SO that the risk of any disturbance

THE OLD MANS HOME

THE Old Mans Home, situated at Thirty
ninth street and Powelton avenue. is an insti-
tuition that is eminently worthy of the regards
of the phianthropic citizens of Philadel phia.
The quiet and unobtrusive manner, however,
in which it has been managed has to some ex-
tent prevented it from receiving the attention
it deserves from many who would, perhaps,
gladly extend it their aid. This Home is
intended as comfortable refuge for respec-
table old men who, by the thousand -and-one
vicissitudes of fortune, find themselves ad-
vaneed in life without friends or fortune, and
its benefits are not restricted to the members
Of any particular trade or profession, but, so
far as the means at the disposal of the mana
gers will permit, they are extended to
all old men of good character who have
need of them. The limited income of the
Home and the small size of the building
have hitherto obliged the managers to ex-
clude many deserving applicants for admis-
sion, and to refuse to receive any old men
under seventy years of age. The present
rules require an admission fee of $780, and
the applicant must not be less than seventy
years of age, must be unmarried, and must
be without near relatives who are competent
to support him. Besides those who are abso-
lutely without means of support, there are
many old gentlemen who have no friends,
but who are able to pay something towards
their support, who would gladly avail them
selves of such refuge as this Home affords.
where they will enjoy besides the society of
persons of their own age, comforts they
would be unable to obtain elsewhere, and
medical attendance in event of sickness. In
order, therefore, to extend the benefits
of the Home the managers have
procure plans for new building
large enough to accommodate fifty inmates
This will be commenced in the spring, several
legacies and donations during the past year,
which have amounted to $4,000, having
placed it in the power of the managers TO
