Dlabolical Duari,y.

A good story is told in Washington OF
genial young gentleman, unwilling Ia
omit recognition of an acquaintance,
who, at wedding reception, caught
sight of gray-whiskered and rather
stately person, and satisfied by inquiry
of his identity, Immediately edged
along to his side
Good evening" said he, extending
his hand with cordialty. 81 am de-
lighted to see youl We haven't met
since we parted in Mexico.
II rather fear" said the gray-whis-
kered man, that you have me at an
advantage"
"Why, don't you recollect? But
then was very much younger" said
the other, with my father in Mexico" :"
And, to tell the truth" said the
other gentleman, my remembrances of
ever having been in Mexico are very in
distinct" Ar
Excuse the question said the
young man, rather desperately" are
you not Sir Edward Thornton2"
By no means; l am Judge Poland Of
Vermont"
"a thousand pardonsl" and the dis
comfted youth moved away
But few nights afterward, at another
reception, his eye was similarly caught,
and the edge of his modification having
been worn off he could smile at his mis-
take; and he once more made his way to
the side Of gentleman with gray NUT
ton-chop whiskers, and after word or
two on the weather aud the scene, he
suddenly said:
That was an awkward thing of me
to take you for old Thornton, the other
night.
And who do you take me for now,
may askY'' said his companion.
why, why" said the embarrassed
young man Of society, you told me you
were Judge Poland of Vermont"
"0n the contrary, my name is Thorn
ton" was the rather annihilating re-
sponse. And the young man at this day
calls it case of diabolical duality.

Marshal Canrobert.

Canrobert returned from the Crimes
covered with glory, and still a bachelor.
He was little man, rather round, with
pleasant, gentlemanly features, good
blue eyes, and having incipient badness,
artfully concealed by long locks wound
over from the rear. When his hat is
taken off, / have often seen his back
hair" come down la Strathnairn.
Well, fresh-crowned with Crimean lau-
rels, the gallant Marshal was one even
ing at private ball at the Tuileries,
when one of the guests, a charming
young lady. walked up to him, and
asked him to recommend partner fer
the next dance. Marsha" said she,
look upon me as the Russians, and
make me dance" You forget, Made
moiselle, answered Canrobert, keeping
up the witty strain, that there is an
armistice. And an amnesty for my
hardihood, Marshal, l hope" The Mar
shal offered his arm TO the young lady,
and introduced her as dancing partner
TO a young officer of his staff. Look
you, my young friend" said he, gal
lantly, Mademoiselle will dance
quadrille with Sou, and recollect, that
tonight Marshal of France, whose po-
sition will not allow him to dance him
self, greatly snvies sub-lieutenant
The Marshal proposed for the young
lady some years after this scene, which
he never forgot, and thus it was that
Flora Mcdonald became Madame le
Mareschale Canrobert.

A Clever Doctor.

DIR. Cabarus, who died at Paris las
year, was one Of those jovial physicians
whose presence is equally sought in the
sick room as in society, and who eifec

Hcssep, the celebrated engineer, and
nearly related to a princely family o.

circles, which deeply felt his loss.
One cure, by which, at the commence
ment of his career, he achieved great
reputation, is characteristic OF the man

The Partisan physicians had the rude.

lady suffered martyrdom. A fortunate
chance made her acquainted with DR..

The Tides.

From the London Examiner.
The tides purify and wash the shores,
cleaning and sweeping our ports; the
currents, which result therefrom, olsen
cumber our roadsteads of the masses of
mud which load them, clear the mouth
of rivers, and produce pure and whole
some freshness. At fixed hour the
formidable masses of water, raised by
an invisible power, rise and approach
the shore. They rise, they precipitate
themselves with resistless power but
only to stop gently at precise moment
without ever passing the boundary which
Nature has traced. It's surely an honor
to the human race to have succeeded in
calculating the very hour, nay, the exact
minute in which the oscillations Of the
sea begin and end in every part of our
globe. Nevertheless, as yet, unknown
combinations will, at times, produce ter
rible disasters that cannot be avoided by
any foresight or precaution. Thus, occa-
sionally powerful wind happens to blow
in the same direction with the tide, aud
gives it incredible force and fury. No
lofty embankment reared by the hand of
man, no rocky rampant raised by nature
herself, can then withstand its power;
and towns are swept in an instant, and
thousands of persons loge their lives.
In some parts of the globe the tide pro-
duces remarkable effects from the pecu
liar formation of the coast which it
strikes. The most striking is that of the
Island Of Mauritus, where long rocky
promontory runs far out into the sea,
and has been worn by the waves into nu
merous caves and grottoes of marvellous
beauty and grotesqueness. The waters
have forced for themselves an outlet
through the roof of one of these caves,
and when the tidal wave reaches the
coast it fills the cave, aud then, with an
indescribable grandeur, flies through
the opening to the height of sixty feet,
accompanied by laundering roar
which is heard far out at sea.

A GHrf0Us Fact.

Ii is singular that the name of God
should be spelled in four letters in
almost every known language. 1t is in
Latin, Deus; in Greek, Zeus; Hebrew,
Adon; Syrian, Adad; Arabian, ALA;
Persian, Syrs; Tartarian, Igad; Egyp-
tan, Aumn or Zeut; East India, Esgi or
Zeui; Japanese, Zain; Turkish, Addi;
Scandinavian, Odin; Wallachian, Sene;
Margian, Eese; Swedish, Oodd; Irish,
Dich; German, Gott; French, Dieu;
Spanish, Dios; and Peruvian, Liam. The
name of God is the Anglo-Saxon con-
ception of the Divine Being. He is good
ness itself, and the author of all goodness.
Yet the idea Of denoting the Deity by a
term equivalent to abstract and absolute
perfection, striking as it may appear, is,
perhaps, less remarkable than the fact
that the word man, used TO designate q
human being, formerly signiAed wicked
ness

Japan's First EngIishman.

A very interesting discovery has
lately been made by a resident of Yo'
kohama, in the Beighborhood of Yohos-
ka, twelve miles from Yokohama
namely, the finding the grave of the first
Englshman who ever lived in Japan.
William Adams arrived in the British
ship Glove in 1903. DESERVING from the
ship, he made his way up TO Jeddo. He
was treated very kindly by the Japan
ese, and being clever, practical man,
soon attracted the notice of the govern.
ment. He was made HatamotO "a no.
bleman, fifth grade), and entrusted with
high official position, but he was not
allowed to leave the country. The Japs
called him Amin, and street still ex-
lists in Jeddo named after him. Adams
married Japanese lady, and retired to
the village of Hemmi, about mile and
half from Yokosha, and about eleven
from the present site Of Yokohama. The
last mention that can be found about
Adams is l6l4, the date Of his death be-
ing uncertain The tombs of himself
and wife are placed close together, and
are still in very good state of preser-
vation. The tomb of Adams is large
such as only can be erected to the rank
Of Hatsanoto. The date on Adams
tomb is not legible, but the one on the
tomb of his wife, after considerable
scraping, was made out, corresponding
to 1853. Adams is supposed to have
died somewhere about 1920, as the news
of his death was taken home to England
by the Royal James. which vessel left
Japan on the first of December of that
year. A copy of his will is now extant
in the archives Of the late East India
Company.

MEMPHIS TENN: TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 6. 1872

on a villa near Naples. During his
trial Casabianca maintained wonderful
nonchalsnce, and in a quaint address
which he delivered TO the court made an
unqualified confession of having CON
cocled the plans whereby the robbery of
the mail and the murder of several dill
gence passengers we're perpetratea
during the winter Of 1860 while the
stage coach was on the way from Naples
to Foggia. He made other revelations
equally exciting, principally of his hav-
ing retained the child of Prince Torlo-
MIA, of Rome, as hostage until his
highnsss forwarded the band large sum
in gold.
Filippi Casabianca and six Of bis gasg
were hanged on the 9Th of July, the oc-
casion being one Of unusual sOlemnity.
A file of black friars bearing torches az :
companied the doomed men from Il e
prison to the castle, chanting some mel
ancholy psalm. On reaching the place
OF execution the friars knelt and reite-
rated prayers aloud.

Brazil.

Able Durand, while engaged for many
years past in missionary work in Brazil,
has also pursued extensive explorations
in the interior Of the country. He has
already published geographical work
on the Rio Negro, one Of the principal
tributaries Of the Amazon, and is now
employed in exploring another tributa-
ry-the San Frsneisco-whieh, for the
length Of its course and for its volume
of water, occupies the third rank among
the rivers Of South America, and the
sixth rank among the rivers of the world.
The river San Francisco has been sur
veyed by the Brazilian authorities, and
found to be eighteen hundred miles
long, and with a wide and deep channel
navigable almost throughout ITS entire
length. The only insurmountable OBJ
siacle 10 the navigation is the cataract
OF Paolo Alfonso.

A Mechanical Cat.

Leonard, of the Cleveland Leader, has
invented sheet iron cat, with cylindri.
cal attachment and steel claws aud teeth.
1t is worked by clockwork. A bellows
inside swells up the tail at will to bel
ligerent size, and by tromolo attach
ment, causes, at the same time, the
patent cat TO emit all noises of which
the living bird is capable. When you
want fun, you wind up your cat and place
him on the roof Every cat within half
a mile hears him, girds on his armor and
sallies forth. frequently fifty or one
hundred attack him at once. No sooner
does the patent cat feel the weight of an
assailant than his teeth and claws work
with lightning rapidity. Adversaries
within six feet of him are torn to shreds.
Fresh battalions come on to meet a
similar fate, and in an hour several
bushels of hair, toe nails and fiddle
strings alone remain.

mon,nI Power IA Men and women

From Scribner's, for August.l
Regarding this oft-discussed question
Professor Maudsley says:
1t has been affirmed by some philoso
piers that there is no essential differ.
once between the mind of woman and
that of man; and that il girl were
subjected to the same education as a
bey she would resemble him in tastes,
feelings, pursuits and powers. To my
mind il would not be one whit more alb
surd to affirm that the antlers Of the stag,
the human beard and the cocks comb
are the effects of education, or that by
putting q girl to the same education as a
boy she could be sexually transformed
into one. The physical and mental diff
ferenccs between the sexes intimate
themselves very early in life, and de-
clare themselves most distinctly at
puberty. If the person is hermaphro-
dite, the mental character, like the ply
steal, participates equally in that of both
sexes. If either sex is mutilated, it ap-
proaches in character the opposite sex.
While woman preserves her sex, she will
necessarily be feebler than man, and,
having her special bodily and mental
characters, will have, TO o certain ex-
tent, her own sphere Of activity. When
she has pretty well divested herself Of
her sex, she may then take his ground
and do his work, but she will have lost
her feminine attractions, and probably
also her chief feminine functions.
