A striking and Beau tiful Custom.

In the whole Of the Spanish America,
but especially in the larger towns, the
moment of the Angelus has a strange
attraction for the stranger. AS the
usage requires every one to halt, no
matter where he may be, at the first
stroke of the bell, to interrupt his con-
versation however important, and listen
without stirring until the conclusion Of
the chime, the singularity of a whole
population surprised in a moment as 1T
comes and goes, but held in a state of
petrifcation, and paralyzed as If by an
enchanter, may be imagined. On every
side you see gestures interrupted,
mouths half opened for the arrested re-
mark, smiles oddly lingering or pass
ing into an expression of prayer.
You would fancy a nation of statues.
A town in South America, at the tlnkle
of the Angelus, resembles the city IN
the Arabian Nights whose inhabitants
we're turned into stones. The magl-
clan here is the bell ringer. But hard
ly has the vibration ceased when a
universal murmrlr arises from these
thousands of oppressed lungs. Hand
meets hand, question seeks answer.
conversations resume their course;
horses feel theloosened bride and paw
the ground; dogs bark, babies cry,
the fathers swear and the mothers chat
ter. The accidental turns thus gwen
to conversation are many, and some
times striking. -Lippi'acofts Mdg0-

The Loss Of the Steamer Missouri.

The Treasury Department has re-
ceived the official report OF the Court
of Inquiry held at Nassau, n. H., re-
garding the loss of the steamer Mis-
souri,, which burnt off Abaco, October
28th. The evidence is very volumln-
Gus, consisting Of testimony OF most OF
the crew and most of the officers saved.
The court finds, first, that the vessel
was hurriedly put to sea, and although
fitted with new boilers and newly re-
paired machinery; no trlal-tr1p
took place for the purpose OF
testing them; second that the feeling
for the boilers was found to be either
wanting or defective on the day ap-
pointed for sailing, and as there can be
little doubt that the fire originated
from the heating Of the boiler, 1t can
scarcely be questioned that the work OF
fitting was imperfectly executed; third,
that the Missouri was not provided
with sufficient number OF boats, and
such boats as she had were so secure q
as to be found difficult to be launched;
fourth, that on the alarm OF fire all was
confusion-that there was no d1scl-
pline, no organization or combined ef-
fort to save life, that each man acted
independently to save his own life, and
that no attempt was made to save the
lives of the female passengers.

The Rivers Lament.

[ came down rushing from the mountain,
Jubilant with pride and glee,
Leaping through the winds, and shouting
That had an errand to the sea.
The rocks stood against me, and we wrestled
But I burst from the holding of their hands,
Broke from their holding, and went Shipping
And sliding into lower lands.
caroIed as [ went, and the woodlands
Smiled as my sound murmured by;
And the birds on the wing heard me singing,
And dropped me blessing from the sky.
The flowers on the bank heard me singing,
And the buds, that had been red and sweet,
Grew Tedder and sweeter as they listened,
And their golden hearts began to beat.
The cities through Their din heard me passing,
They came out and crowned me with their
towers;
And the trees hung up their garlands above
me,
And coaxed me to rest among their bowers.
But laughed, as I left them in the sunshine :;
There was never aught Of rest for me
Till l mingled my waters with the ocean,
Till [ sang in the chorus of the sea.
All me for my pride upon the mountain.
All mel for my beauty in the plains,
When my crest floated glorious in the sun
shine,
And the clouds showered strength into my
veinsI
Alas for the biushing little blossoms,
And the grasses, with their long golden
drifts,
For the shadow of the forest in the noontide,
And full-handed cities with their gifts!
[ have mingled my waters with the ocean,
Ihave sung in the chorus of the sea
And my soul, from the tumult of the pillows,
VIII never more be jubiant and free.
[ sing, but the echo of my mourning
Returns to me shriekinG back again
One wild, weak note, among the myriads
That are sobbing meath the thunders of the
main.
Oh well, for the dewdrops on the gowan!
On well, for the pool upon the height,
Where the birds gather thirsty in the noon
tide,
And stars watch all through the summer
night!
There is no home-returning for the waters
To the mountain whence they came, glad
and free
There is no happy ditty for the river
That has sung in the chorus of the sea.

Witcllcraft in Buffalo.

A worthy Swiss acouple named Gutz-

genuine case of old fashioned witch

of Salem used to do. Whenever the
Gutzwellers attempt to build a fire.
their efforts are crowned with disaster

that that eminent judicial functionary
who is designated on paper by half.
dozen capital "J's," is the scene.shiit.
er who is working the machinery for
the Parkersburg CHASE Convention, and
that somehow the decision of the Jack
son county land suit, which was decided
by the U. s. District Judge for this dis.
trict, and that decision confirmed by the
U. s. Supreme Court, is in some way
mixed up with this movement. II Mr..
CHASE should be made President, 1t would
create vacancy on the Supreme bench
and would make q place for which gen.
tlenen who aspire to judicial eminence
might compete. Then, since Mr.. CHASE
as President, might have the filling Of the
place, the value Of his friendship and a.
vor would be undeniable. This is the
idea we suppose that &c. p" wishes to
suggest; but it Is too absurd to be seri-
ously entertained; just as Mr.. CHAsE's
chance OF election is too remote to be
worth basing calculations on.

SUPREME COURT OF THE U. s.
A Decision Under the Enforcement
..t.r- . Act.

A Decision Under the Enforcement
...ra Act. .....--
WAsHrNaToN, March 9.-The Supreme
Court Of tho United States had before II
today the argument In the case Of Avery
and others on q certificate Of decision
from the Circuit Court for the District OF
South Corolita. The defendants in the
case were indicted for conspiracy under
the act Of May 81, 1870, to enforce the
rights OF citizens of the United States
to vote in several States, and for other
purposes, and known as Ku.Klux. The
particular act charged was the murder Of
Jim Williams, while attempting to pre-.
vent colored citizens from voting, and TO
hinder and prevent their exercise of the
right to keep and bear arms. A motion
having been made TO quash the indict-
ment, the Court was divided in opinion
on the question whether II had iurisdic.
ton ofthe crime of murder charged, and
whether the right to keep and bear arms
Is right granted and secured by the Con.
stltution OF the United STATES. SO as 10
support the charge in the indictment and
render tho offence cognizable by the
Court, these questions were referred to
this Court. The government submits that
the questions having arisen on motion
to quash, this Court cannot take cogni.
zance Of them, the motion being pre-.
liminary In its character and determinable
by the Court below as q matter of pure
discretion. 1t contends that the action
was intended merely to visit with increas.
ed punishment offenders against the laws
of the United States. The Court merely
admits evidence Of fact as a matter Of
aggravAtiOn Of another offence. The
criminal laws of several States are cited
to show that when person convicted of
a criminal offence, who has been punish
ed by the United States or other State
for similar offence, he was more severe
ly punished. In neither case is punish
ment, in the contemplation OF the law,
applied to an offence which is regarded,
as aggravating the circumstance merely.
In respect to bearing arms 1t Is said that
the United States by reason of the power
given to Congress to provide for organic.
ing the army and disCiplining the militia,
has a direct interest in seeing the right
which the constitution itself declares to
DO essential to well ordered militia is not
iniringed by unlawful authority. The
case is argued on behalf of the Govern
ment by the Attorney General and AS.
sistant Attorney General Hill, and on be.
half of the accused by Henry Stanberry
and Reverdy johnson. The argument
this far is on the question OF jurisdiction
on moving to dismiss. The merits are
given, but 1t is not certain that they will
be argued.
