Professor Agasaix.

The news that the eminent Professor
Agassiz was seized with paralysis was
received last week with the deepest re-
gret, and the tidings of his death, which
occurred on Sunday evening last, will
awaken the most profound sorrow
throughout the country and the world.
AS one of the foremost men of science
OF this or any age, though Swiss by
birth, and an American by adoption
and citizenship. he was truly cosmo-
politan In feeling. in character, and in
reputation, and his loss is a calamity
to the world at large. Being one of
the nlOst indefatigable of workers, ac-
complishing the task of many ordinary
men within given space of time, he
has doubtless suffered from oyer.e exer-
tlon. He was attacked with paralysis
early last week, and without any favor
able change he remained under the
power of disease until Sunday evening,
Wnen ne expired. .r.
Louis John Rudolph Agassiz was OF
French descent, his family having been
one of those driven abroad by the edict
of Nantes against the Huguenots. He
was the son of six generations of clergy
men. His father was pastor of the
Protestant parish of st. Imier, In the
ancient Bishopric of Bosel. His mother
was the daughter of ply stefan, in the
Canton de Vaud. Louis was born May
2S, 1907, in the parish of Mottier,
Switzerland. He received an academi-
cal education in the Canton of Berne.
In 1924 he went to Zurich, as medical
student, thence to Heidelberg Univer.
sity, and continued his medical studies,
and studied zoology under Ltuckart
and botany under Blschoff. In 1927
he entered the University of Munich.
He early became distinguished in the
department of Natural Science, and was
made in 1882 professor of Natural
History in the College of Neufchatel.
Having visited the United States in
1916 and excited great interest by his
lectures, he was invited by Professor
Bache, of the Coast survey; to use Its
facilities for the prosecution of his
researches. an offer which induced him
to take up his residence in the United
States. In 1S4s he became professor
In the newly founded sclentif, school
at Cambridge, Mass, which he ha:
since made the centre of operations
which have extended to every part o.
the United States and almost circum
scribed the American Continent -Ex.

Two of the Bender family of murder
ers were arrested last week at Biyings-
vile, Spartanburg county, S. c. Every
one will remember the grea t excitement
produced not long since by the discov-
cry of the wholesale murders committed
by the Bender family In Kansas, and
the exhnming Of the bodies of their
victims found buried on the premises
around their dwellings, and that the
Bender family all made good their
escape before their crimes were detected.
The murderers were traced, and an
officer with o posse came over from
Union county and arrested an old man
nearly seventy years of age at Biyings-
VILE by the name of Thomas Webb as
the veritable old man Bender, and his
wife as the old lady Bender. Steps
have also been taken to arrest his son,
Joshua Bender, and his wife, who are
living in North Carolina, near Hickory
Station, on the Western North Carolina
Railroad. 1t is learned that this man
Thomas West, shoemaker by trade,
formerly lived near Bivingsville, and
moved West with his family about II
years ago. The mans of Bender must
have been assumed by them when they
moved West, or when they commenced
the lie of robbers and murderers. The
old man and his wife moved back to
the county short time since. and set
tied in the neighborhood in which they
formerly lived, without any suspicion
of being remembered by the name of
Webb by some of the old citizens who
knew them many years ago.
