subject of careful examination bv Pro-
lessor Crooks, an emiRont chemist as
tronomer, and Mr.. S. Cox, of the
English bar. DIR. Higgins has not
yet been able to satisfy his mind, and

THE DECADENCE OF MONARCHY.
The London Spectator laments over
the decadence of the monarchical sys-
tenn in Great Britain. 1t says there
is in the country but n great politi-
cal institution left alive, and that is
apparently endeavoring to commit sui
eide by asphyxia. The throne, as a
political power, is dead, the Lords are
dying, and if the House of Commons
loses the respect of the country, there
will be nothing left.

0utrages of a Fiend.

UNION CITY, IND, July II.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday
morning two little girls, aged eleven
aud thirteen years respectively, while
blackberrying near this place, were as
saulted by a negro named Charles
Hammond. The older succeeded in
breaking away from the villain, but
the younger was shockinglv abused.
The older gave the alarm as soon as
possible, the wretch, fearing pursuit,
he fed meantime. Dozens of armed
men pursued, and tracked him toward
Greenville. determined to kill him
At last accounts he had not been cap
tured.
GREENvILLE, o, July II.
A young lady named Clay, while on
her way to visit a friend nea this city,
while passing through a strip of woods
about noon to-day, was violently as
saulted and brutally outraged by a ne
gro man. The poor girl in her strug-
gle. was almost choked to death. As
soon as possible after making her es-
cape she gave the alarm. Enraged
men pursued him to this city; he was
captured and lodged i'll Jail about two
o'clock He said his name was Charles
Hammond. Soon after his arrest, and
during the excitement, horsemen from
Union City arrived, bringing an ac-
count of an outrage on a little girl
there on Saturday by the same scoun-
drel. The victim of Union City was
sent for, and identified him.
The most intense excitement pre-
vailed here all the aftel noon, and It is
with great difficulty that the mob is
prevented from taking the negro from
the jail, and tearing him to pieces.
UNION CITY, July II.
A negro captured at Greenville
who committed the outrage upon
the little girl here Saturday created
intense excitement. Some fifty citi-
Ems assembled at the depot and clam
ored for a special train to convey them
to Greenville tonight, but
fully. Without a doubt, had they
succeeded in obtaining the train the ne
gro would have been killed as soon as
they could have got possession of him.
The most furious anger and intense ex-
element prevail here.

The Boston Post of the 10Th, says:
The child-or children as it would
almost seem proper to allude to this
phenomenon-had enjoyed excellent
health since her birth, nine months
ago, until within two weeks, at which
time one exhibited signs of Illness
This, however, was but temporary.
1t recovered and was bright and play
full. Since reaching Boston, a few
days since, the other, or the other half
was taken-sick and died yesterday af-
ternoon. The two portions of the
body were so intimately connected
that the death of one rendered that of
the other inevitable. The spectacle
was equally novel; strange and I'M
paralleled. Upon one end of the
body reposed the head OF the dead
infant /; upon the other that OF the live
one with its eyes still bright and GU
rious, and its lungs II full breathing
order. All that medical aid could do
was done, but it a found unavailing.
The child died in the presence of its
parents. The corpse presents the APP
pearance OF two infants asleep. APP
parently they escaped the suffering
incident to death, for the countenan
ces had the expression of repose. The
disposition of the BODY is not as yet
determined upon. Several of our
physicians were DESTROYS, last eve
ming, of having it opened for examin-
alton. Iii is doubtful if the parents
consent. The child was shortly to
have been exhibited to the public, and
would doubtless here, as elsewhere,
have attracted throngs Ct visitors
The parents were especially devoted
to the little marvel, and their sorrow
is ~grieYOus

INDICTMENTS AGAINST ROCHE
FORT.

PARIS, July l9.-The indictment
upon which NJ. de Rochefort is to be
tried, contains the following counts :
First provocation to be hatred among
citizens; second. indictment to civil
war and pillage; third, the pubiica-
ton of false news and spurious dis
patches, knowing them to be false;
fourth, completely in the murder, by
instigating the arrest and execution
of hostages. The friends of the ex-
Minister of National Defense deny the
stories that have been published re-
garding his prostration and weakness.
They assert hat he is in nowise cast
down. But it must be admitted that
his position, with such a list of
charges, and the numbers of the court
martial for his judges, is a sufficient
ly serious one.
The inhabitants of Metz have sent

The e~nterprising and brilliant edito

The enterprising and brilliant editor
of the Ashland Times, informed his
readers last week that he operated
seven printing presses by steam, in
his Office? That is very much like the
boy who almost killed a bird. When
asked where he hit it, he replied-"I
throwed about two inches below it's
feet" So you never touched it? Il
came very near it." replied the boy.
So u friend Sprengle, runs seven
printing presses by steam C), when
the fact is, there is not an engine, (his
property within n hundred yards of
his office! That must be a powerful
engine, Jefferson. Better stick to the
truth, it pays better in the long nun.

son What Issues Shall We Go
into The Fight

Under this heading we give our
readers to-day an article from the
Richmond Eitq~irer, of the 9th ult.
In it there are many things which we
cordially approve, while there are some
others which we do not know hat we
rightly understand.
AS to the issues upon which the De
mocracy of the United States should
go into the great civil struggle in 1872,
we entirely agree with the Enquirer in
saying that the whole question is pre-
sented in a nut shell, by the st. Louis
Republican, in that one paragraph quo.
ted by the Enquirer, and which is in
these words:
fThe Constitutional question before
the people is not whether a State has
a right to secede, or to nullify any act
of Congress. That was decided, in
fact, by the late war, but whether a
State has any rights which the Nation
al Government may not, at its pleas
ure, set aside. When a Central Gov
eminent begins to appropriate the pow
ers of surrounding States and proyin-
ces, it never, of its own accord, ceases
IHe IL COlltlnueS the
encroachment, if unresisted, until it
has become unparalleled, and the
States reduced to outlying dependen-
cies."
The real true living issues involved
in the next contest in this country, as
we view it, is thus briefly but pointed
Iy stated. The only change or modif-
cation we would make in it, would be
to strike out the words National Gov
eFnment," and insert in their place
Federal Government; )" but the con-
test seems to show clear enough that
the meaning of the writer was the
same. He only fell into the very COM
error of speaking of the "Fed-
eral Government" as a National Gov
ernmcnt."

The Issues for 1872.

That u readers may see how the
people of the South feel OF the issues
that divide the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties, we reproduce a very
able article from the Atlanta Sun,
written by Hon. A. III. Stephens, now
editor Of that paper. 1t will explode
a good many errors in regard TO the
southern people, and should be read
with are by all. Mr.. Stephens is bet
ter acquainted with his people, and
knows more about their wishes than
any other men. If we would learn
the true sentiments ofethe South, we
should place confidence in his declara-
tons. We have no faith in the carpet
bag crew.

The farmers in this State generally take

with the idea that sheep can be made t"
bring in more profit with much less work

that oar store sheep are selected, not only

the ease. Forty sheep are enough for
one flock, and rs many aS should be
housed and GcA together. Otcntimes
what appears TO be old and poor sheep,
taken from large flock, will thrive and
