The ROBBERY OF JUDGE ONDERDONK.-Two
Of the Wilmington North Carolinal papers of
thursday contain rather extraordinary state
ments with regard to q large robbery alleged to
have taken place either In this city or in WASH
ington on Tuesday. of which the police authori-
ties in neither place appear 10 know ANYTHING.
These statements are to the effect that Hon. II.
ID. Onderdonk, receiver of the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford railroad, was "beset''
at the Camden street depot, in this city, on
Inauguration day, by a gang Of pickpockets,
and robbed Of 500 900 in notes, checks and
coupons, and about SlOe in cash. The state
ments agree in both journals, except in the
scene of the robbery as one has IL laid in
Baltimore, a. stated, while the other gravely
declares that II occurred at the Baltimore and
Ohio depot in Washington: The first statement
also goes on to say that sthe judge (meaning
we suppose, Mr.. Onderdonk) ais waiting IN
Baltimore TO interview the police and stop the
payment or the checks and notes" He has no,
yet made his appearance at the police head

Cuba and Civil Rights.

NETTING or cOLORED MEN LAST NIGHT.
A convention of prominent cOlored men and
others interested in the Cuban struggle for in
dependence and civil rights, was held at Union
Han last night, but owing to some misunder-
stancing there was not very large attendance.
H in0, enose preseGt were Hon. A; > Ransin,
X. Ryan, George L. Downing, j. Sella Martin
and Robert Purvis.
Mr.. Ransin was elected president, and on
taking the chair said although large number
were not present, enough was present to do
something emphatic for the cause of liberty in
the Spanish domnions, and for the enforcement
OF civil rights He had done himself the honor

Robert purvis. Of this citv John Jones of Illi-
moss and Rev Mr.. Iaysr. Of Tennessee. were
elected vice presidents, and Mr.. p. II. Murray
secretary.
Mr.. George T. Downing said that the colored
men Of this country should be in full sympathy
with Cuba, and knowing that a large number
OF persons were expected here to the Inaugural
ton some weeks ago he conferred with numbers
of prominent colored men with a view of get
ting up convention to express sympathy for
/ their brothers in Cuba. He had convened
about 30 gentlemen at his residence to consider
the subject, and II was understood that the
meeting should be held. Re was requested to
prepare an address andkeries Of resolutions, and
hail done 20. This he had intrusted to a Young
man 10 cory. but it had not been returned 10
him. He felt sick at the apathy shown by the
colored people, not only as to Cuba bat tn re-
gard 10 other interests. IL was because OF the
indifference that supplemental civil rights bill
had not been passed IL the Congress which has
inst closed; only TIRES petitions for that mea-
sure having been received. and these from
Rhode Island, South Carolina, and the Dis
uiet.
Mr.. j. Sefa Martin followed I'm a few remarks

ing his views ON civil rights.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the 18th

The Nashville Endemic.

Some highly interesting facts in rela-
ton to the cholera epidemic at Nashville
are given by a correspondent of the
Louisville papers. 1t appears that there
IS spring on the outskirts of the CITY
which the deposit of 200 carloads Of
filth in its immediate vicinity had
tainted. Persons who drank of this
water were taken with a complaint that
r1pened into something like cholera.
The first cases occurred among people
who lived close to the spring and sup
pied their wants from it. Not far from
this is a large brewery, which daily
gives off disgusting stream of refuse
matter. conducted in open bitches
through portion of Nashville. These
bitches in turn empty into sewers in bad
repair, through which the noxious va
pors of the liquid filth escape and poison
the ar. Nearly every case of cholera
has been near the spring or on the line
of this sewer.

Choosing Matching Eggs.

Eggs for Matching should be chosen
OF the far average size usually laid by
the hen they are from any unusually
large or small being rejected. Some
hens lay large eggs and others small
ones. A fat hen will always lay small
eggs, which can only produce small and
weakly chickens. Absolute size in eggs
IS, therefore, of but little Importance
Round, short eggs are usually the best
to select very long eggs, especially If
much pointed at the small end, almost
always breed birds with some awkward
ness in style of carriage. Neither
should rough-shelled eggs be chosen 4:
they usually show some arrangement of
the organs, and are often sterile.
Smooth-shelled eggs are alone proper
Tor Matching. It is a farce to suppose
that the sex of bird can be determined
by the shape of the egg.

FARM AND GARDEN,
Sell the Surplus.

1t is very natural and excusable
weakness in breeder of fine stock. that
he believes his own is little better
than his neighbours, and that his OWL
estimate is higher than the public's. 1t
is not a profitable weakness, however. if
INDUCED in too far. A special pride in
ones own is a good thing, but the mer-
chant who refuses to sell the last piece
OF particular kind of goods for fear of
breaking his assortment, and the breed
er OF fine stock who places too high an
estimate upon his young ones and re-
fuses to concede anything, until his
farm is overstocked, his stock suffering
Tor want of proper care, and his means
exhausted, fall into the same error.
though not with the same excuse. The
most successful merchants, manufacture
ers and producers, as a rule, are those
who meet the market with what thew
have for sale, when it is ready. Look
ing over the breeders of fine stock in
this country, one is struck with the fact
that the freest sellers are the most pros
porous. A positive sale, once a year.
with open, fair competition, tests the
operations of breeder in the crucible
OF public opinion, and, properly consid-
cred, is the most valuable aid to his own
Judgment that he can possibly have. It
helps to reduce his notions as to their
cash value, and supplies what his own
pride OF Judgment disables him from OBJ
tanning III any other manner, a standard
by which he must sell, and in reference
to which he must breed or do worse.
The best evidence of success in breed
lng'is spirited competitive sale of reg
ular surplus products cull-and no
large breeder of fine stock can be quite
sure he is moving in the right direction
until he has that Endorsement and if.
on trial, he meets with no such success,
he cannot make new departure or
break up the business too soon. To
every overstocked breeder we say. sell.
meet the merket; if the result proves
you are on the right course, go ahead
If not, tack about-but seW.-Prair5e

Is HydrOphObia ImaginarY2

Medical men are beginning to suspect
that IN many cases imagination is to a
great degree instrumental in developing
hhydrophobia. 1t is well known that the
disease seldom appears before the eighth
day after incubation. The period of
incubation, as medical men term it. is
often seven or eight weeks, and cases
have occurred IN which the spasms have
not supervened until seven years after
the bite. This fact has led physicians
to study the whole subject anew, and
DIR. Luke, in his late work on the elm
fiuence of the Mind Upon the Body, /"
supports the hypothesis that hydro
phob1c symptoms are often developed
without previous incubation. In illus
trat1on, he relates notable instance of
a physician of Lyons, who, having as
sisted in the dissection of several VIC
TINS Of the disorder, imagined that he
had been inoculated. On attempting to
drink he was seized with spasms of the
pharynx, and in this condition roamed
about the streets for three days. At
length his friends succeeded in convinc-
ing him of the groundlessness of his
apprehensions, and he at once recoy-
cred. DR.. Marx, a German physician
writing to the Clinic, regards hydro
phobla as a morbid affection of the
imagination induced by fear, and cites
instances in which persons unaware of
The superstition have escaped the spasms,
