PROF. GEORGE @. SAWYER, of Utica,
has written an account of his interview
on philology with Rulof. He asserts
mat Ruloff was by no mesns a person Of
Profound knowledge, and that be is igno-
rant Of some of the fret principles of
phllology, the science to which he profess
eS TO have devoted his life. The article
concludes by stating the opinion that "the
Science of philology and the cause of
sound learning will lose nothing by the
non-completion and non-publcation of
Ruloff's universal method of language"

spirited GERMAN Girls.

A charmieg way to ring out an old
fashion and ring in q new, was that
adopted by some young ladies of Berlin
with reference to the chignon. The ma.
tional spirit now at white heat in Ger
many is, if anything, more ardent among
the women than the men, as indeed il
always has been and will be the world
over. SO the fair patriots resolve to re-
feet more of the German nationality in
their dress, and abandon and henceforth
ignore French fashions, but more espe-
cially the really odious chignon. Ac-
cordinely the sixty young ladies', daugh-
ters of the wealthiest citizens, who were
selected to welcome the returning army
at the Bradenburg gate, had a meeting
in which the question of their attire was
settled. II was that of Margaret in kaul-
hach's sketch of her first meeting with
Faust which have been thoroughly iden-
tilted with the German maiden in all art,
and especially familiarized Of late by the
Margueritas Of the stage. Two plaits
of their own hair hanging down the back
was to be indispensable, and they were
pledged mutually and to the municipal
authorities on no occasion to use false
hair. These sixty wealthy young ladies
ought certainly to be more than a match
for one Empress, and she not so much
of an Empress rs she was, and they will
receive the congratulations of the entire
world if they carry the day against false
hair,

A CuriOus Story.

A curious story is told respecting the
smallpox hospital at Hampstead by the
Hampstead and Highgate Express. A
woman, it is stated, who had occupied q
bed in one of the wards was reported to
her husband as being dead. The neces-
sary funeral arrangements were accord
ingly being made by the widower, who
himself followed the supposed remains
of his deceased wife to the grave. To
his astonishment, and it is to be hoped
his delight, the lady whose obsequies had
thus been celebrated returned home
about fortnight after her funeral in q
state Of extreme surprise at not having
received any intelligence during that
period from her husband and family
whom she found in deep mourning. The
explanation of this misadventure was
that the woman removed to GONZALES.
cent ward, and another patient who at.
terwards died had been put into the bed
she had originally occupied. The name
of the first patient having been mad
vertently left up at the head of the bed,
caused the mistake that gave rise to SO
much pain and pleasure. If the facts
stated are correct, there would seem to
be room for improvement in the arrange
ments as we'll as the site of the hospital.
Had the disconsolate husband during
the interval which elapsed between the
funeral of his wife and her return to the
domestic circle, embarked in a second
marriage, one of the two ladies would
have Just ground for dissatisfaction.

where he struck me last. December with
horsewhip; it cut through the flesh and
was sore two weeks; have seen him
strike mother with his fist and blacken
her face; saw him strike her a
number Of times; don't know how many;
mother told me always to do what father
liked, and we always tried; he whipped
brother number of times with the butt
end of horsewhip on the head he
knocked him down three or four times
the flesh from his back and feet stuck to
the stove; he whipped him afterward;
never saw my brother since he went into
the bedroom; did tell a lady that !
never expected to see my brother again;
that he had not run away, because he
could not; was not going to tell, be-
cause father had whipped me very hard,
and / was afraid Of him; mother was GO
ing to leave one time; do not know
what the trouble was; she shows marks
where father whipped her; he took
brother in his arms and put him on the
stove and held him there two or three
minutes.
The jury on these facts brought in a
verdict that Martin Mera, sr, had feloni-
ously, Intentionally, and with malice
aforethought, murdered his son, Martin
Mera, jr., on the 18th day of June, and
committed him to appear at the Circuit
Court on Wednesday, the 9th.
The excitement grew until on yester-
day morning, when q body of men,
headed by DR.. B. j. Daniels, Of Gilman,
proceeded to Watseka, hurst open the
Jail, disarmed the sheriff, took Mera to
a grove outside the city, and hung him TO
tree until he was dead. The mob was
orderly and quiet, and consisted OF
about one thousand people. A few min
utes before being hung Mera called
upon the Masons to help him. AS none
came forward, he said bitterly: u for
swear all Masons." He then called
upon the Catholics. A voice said:
"Call on God alone; no one else can
help you" He then said: May the
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on my
soul, and the Holy Virgin pray for me.
A rope was swung over branch, and
one end tied to Meras neck. He was
then placed in q wagon, and when the
rope was adjusted the wagon was driven
from under him. He struggled terribly
for few minutes, and then settled
down, and soon it was all over. Thus
ended one of the most horrible affairs
that has ever transpired in this State.

A Strasburg correspondent Of the
New York Tribune pays a fiattering
tribute to our countrywoman, Clara
Barton, who, besides nursing the
wounded in hospitals as long as the
Franco-German war lasted, formed and
executed plan for marking the graves
of the soldiers who died in the prisons
of the South. She is now in Strasburg,
where she has founded, with her own re-
resources, a large and always increas-
ing establishment Of work for women,
which counts more than two hundred
and fifty mothers of large families
widows, wives of prisoners or wounded
soldiers. Twelve hundred persons
little children and aged parents-have
been fed and warmed and clothed all
winter by the earnings Of these women,
and by this means held through the ter
rible crisis above the degradation Of
beggarY and vagrancy.

Its playful way among tho leaves.

is selling the very best coffee sugar for
Is cts per pound: the same that you

lie is selling calicocs from s to 10 cts,

3 bushcl sacks at 10 cts busbel 40.
An extensive line Of all kinds of Dry
Goods always on hand, and so low that
those wishing to purchase cant help
but buy.
The question is frequently asked
How eau Porter johnson sell his goods
SO cheap and still make Money on them?
Those who wish to see tho Cheap
Store shut up, say he can't stand it;
that he must break Well, they don't
know. Some say the goods must be
stolen. Well, they don't know,
"nuther." Others tell you that there
is great difference in the goods that
bis goods are not as good as those sold
by others. Well, I'll be hanged ii
they know, "nuiher." The true an
swer is: lie employs a lire man to buy
his goods. One who understands Ills
business, aud one who is constantly
watching for bargains-takiug advan-
tage Of every decline in prices, and
looking ahCad for an advance, aud buy.
To-. accordingly. Aud last, but not
least, he pays the cash for all he buys.
thereby getting a large de uesion.
Porter johnson sells exclusively for
cash, therefore he can sell much lower
than those who have to wait 6 aud IL
months.
