G. Chauncey Burr, esq.,, of New Jersey,
will deliver a course of six lectures at
Assembly Hall, in this city, beginning on
the 10th proximo, on the Typical Races
of Men," Mr.. Burr is one Of the ablest
lecturers and boldest thinkers now in the
field, and is everywhere greeted by large
audiences. In Wilmington, Delaware,
where he has been lecturing recently, he
received the highest compliments from the
press and the intelligent public. His lee
tnre refutng Darwin's theory was espe-
cially we'll received. One paper says he
spoke for two hours, and there was no
person in the audience who would not
gladly have sat two hours longer. We
feel sure that large audiences await Mr..
Burr in Richmond.

THE CUBAN MASSACRE.
a Le,ter from santiago de Cubs

. I'D. q
We are permitted to publish the fol
lowing very interesting letter from a
young man in the naval service, on board
the Q. 8. S. Wyoming, now anchored
at Santiago de Cuba, to his mother re-
siding in Rdtland:
U. S. s. WYOMING,
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 16, 1879
My DEAR MoTHER-We arrived here
about noon to-day. We left Aspinwall
on the 18th, reached Kingston, Jamaica,
on the 14th, where we laid twenty-four
hours and took in coal, and left there
yesterday, about noon, for this place.
We came in without opposition and
anchored. near the town. We find the
story of the massacre of the Virginius
passengers and crew confirmed in all its
horrible details After mock trial the
cowardly Spanish butchers took the poor
fellows to the slaughter house and shot
fifty-three of them in cold blood, and
then mutilated their dead bodies and
paraded the streets with their victims
heads stuck upon their bayonets. They
have still good number of the Inflated
passengers and crew in prison, who only
escaped sharing their. comrades fate by
the timely arrival of the British man of
war Niobe, and the Wyoming. There
were twenty-four British subjects on
board the Virginius, sixteen of whom
hof haF 1F ybo
Niobe. If they attempt to shoot any
more the Niobe and we will open fire on
them. The whole affair was about as
high-handed an outrage as | ever heard
of. The Virginius was regularly cleared
from an English port, and her papers
were all correct, and at the time of her
capture she had nothing on board that
was contraband of war and besides all
that she was captured on the high seas,
eight miles from the coast of Jamaica,
and then her officers, crew and pas
sengers were most barbarously MUIR
dered by the hellish, cowardly, black
guard Spanish brutes. If the United
States don't take it up, and let the eagle
scream, every civilized nation on the
face of the earth ought to cry shame
and point the finger of scorn at her. 1t
seems to me high time that stop was
put to American citizens being taken to
he common SHAMELESS and slaughtered
ike brutes by these cursed, cowardly,
dogs.
More American men of war are ex-
,ected hourly. The mail steamer leaves |

COLLECTOR A. J. CRANES DEFALoA-
TIoN.-We are panied to say that the
rumors which have been afloat a day or
two past in our community, to the effect
that a serious defalcation had been dis
covered in the accounts of Crane, the
United States Collector of Internal Rev
enue for this district, prove to have a
foundation in fact. Mr.. Crane has
stated to us and others that there is a
deficiency in his accounts of moneys due
the government, amounting to 81, 900.
Mr.. Cranes explanation-an it is fully
credited by his bondsmen and those best
acquainted with the case-is that this
sum was taken by former deputy in
his Office, who kept all the books and
had charge of the funds, and who by
false entries concealed and carried along
the theft. We understand that extend
ed examinations of the books and ac-
counts of the office, by the agents
of the Internal Revenue Department,
have made this fully apparent to
them and there is the strongest evil
dence that Mr.. Crane is regarded at the
department, not as the criminal but as
utctina of a robbery. The deputy held
similar position under the former collec-
tor, Mr.. Baxter, and was sued by Mr..
Baxter for seoe,e thousand dollars, alleged
to have been purloined in like manner
from him. 1t is to be noted that it took
MIR. Baxter several years to make the in
vestigation of the voluminous accounts
of taxes collected and abated necessary
to satisfy him of the state of the case,
to bring suit; and that no
such suit or charge existed against the
deputy at the time of his appointment
by Mr.. Crane to so responsible posi-
ton in his office Free Press, Noo. 90.

Man loves the mysterious. A cloudless
sky, the full-blown rose, leaves him I'M
moved; but the violet which hides its
blushing beauties behind the bush, and
the moon when she energies from behind
cloud, are to him sources of inspiration
and pleasure. Modesty is to merit what
shade is 10 figure in painting; it gives it
boldness and prominence. Nothing adds
more to female beauty than modesty; it
sheds around the countenance halo of
light which is borrowed from virtue.
Botanists have given the rosy hue which
tinges the cup of the rose the name of
''maideu blush" This pure and delicate
hue is the only paint that Christian vir-
tue should use; it is the richest ornament
A woman without modesty IS like fad
cd flower, which diffuses an unwhole-
some odor, and which the prudent gard
ner will throw away from him. Her
destiny Is melancholy for it ends in
shame and repentance. Beauty passes
like the flower of the aloe, which blooms
and dies in q few hours, but modesty
gives the female character charms which
supplies the place of the transitory fresh
ness of youth.
