Sign of Death.

Some time ago the Academy of
Sciences in Paris offered a prize of
$4,000 for some simple and positive
sign of death, which any non profess
sional person could understand and
apply. Such test, suggested in Vir-
elbows Archiv, is considered very
satisfactory by the British medical
press. It consists in tying string
firmly round the finger of the supposed
corpse; if the blood circulates in the
least-in which event death has not
taken place-the whole finger will
swell and turn a blueish-red. It is
conceivable such test would be very
useful in cases of drowning a d as
phyxia. It may be legitimate to cite
case which occurred not long ago at
Brussels. A drunken man fell into a
canal, and remained so long immersed
that very little hope was entertained Of
his recovery. He was to all appearance
a corpse. DR.. Joux, physician to the
police, to whom application is made in
such cases, did not share the convic-
tions of the bystanders, and, having
used the most energetic means of
restoration for three hours, ended by
applying a hot iron to the patient, WHO
instantly moved slightly. The former
measures were reverted to, and the
supposed corpse stood up in less than
half an hour branded, indeed, but
none the worse for the accident.

Religious Songs OF The Negrnes.
BY SIDNEY ANDREWS

$50 By SIDNEY ANDREWS.
The song oftenest sung during the
second year of the war was that rare
melody, :" Roll, Jordan, Roll. p Some
times it began,
"Massa Linkum sittin' on de tree OBJ Iife.n
Watchin' Jordan roll;
Gent Fremont slttln' on de tree OBJ life.
Roll, Jordan, roll"
and so on, through q list of all the
public men dear to the negro heart. At
another time it began with the name
of the pastor of the church, or the
leader of the meeting, and enumerated
a dozen or twenty brethren and sisters
as to whose religious standing there
could be no doubt I remember that,
on one occasion, singer introduced
the name of "Brudder Brown" when
the singing was interrupted by wo-
man with, docs you mean Brudder
Peter Brown Gaze if you means Fair
fax Brown calls for order" A salts
factory explanation followed, where
upon the conductor of the meeting
asked another brother to "lead in pray
er for Fairfax Brown, and pray that he
may return from his backslidin'.n Ere
quently the song began with,
Lo'd Jesus sittin' on de tree OBJ life.
Watchin Jordan roll :"
and brought in the names of Moses,
Joshua, Elijah, David, Solomon, John,
Paul, and pretty much everybody else
of good report in the Bible. duly ele-
waiting them to position on ode tree
oh life, watchin' Jordan ROLL" At times
the white visitor could not help smil-
ing at the placing there of certain pub
lie men; yet it was never otherwise than
delightful to hear the packed audience
strike the notes OF this joyful and
swinging and resonant melody.-Frone

A Faro Bank in Feejee.

Civilization is gradually penetrating
to the remote regions Of the earth. A
faro bank has been established in Fee
jee, and the natives are fascinated with
the game. A somewhat sad incident
is mentioned in connection with the
last match for the championship. A
chief became deeply interested in a
game, the stakes of which were human
beings fattened for the table. Luck
seemed TO go against the chief. He
put up his servants and lost then he
bet his mother-ln-law and lost. He
did not shed tear over this disaster.
Then he staked his unmarried sister,
and his wife's cousins, and the bank
raked in all the chips. The infatuated
chief then offered his baby, and the
owner of the bank had it packed down
in the ice chest in less than fifteen
minutes. The chief then bet all his
children successfully, and lost, and
then, having gambled away his wife, he
staked himself on the last chance, and
again bet on the wrong card. When he
had time to think it over, the Chief
said that he was convinced that gam
bling was very wrong, and he thought
that it ought to be suppressed by the
authorities. But before his friends
could get bill passed, he was killed,
and put In a cask, to corn for the faro
bank man. A succession of peculiarly
succulent free lunches made that es-
adjustment very attractive to the Fee
jeean epicures for several months af-
terward. The name of the chiefs
family no longer appears in the d1rec-
tory. The faro bank proprietor, how
ever, is inclined to be benevolent, and
he offers to make very liberal arrange
ments for Sunday schools He is now
much interested IN a missionary whom
he expects to entice into his den. He
has intimated to his confidential
friends that if he can only get that
missionary to play one game, and bet
the infant class, he will just get up
supper which will discount spring
chickens entirely. Mag Adeler.

Goldsmith.

There is hardly in the history of
English literature name which keeps
itself SO fresh in mems memory as that
of Goldsmith. It is now proposed to
erect In London a statue to the author
of The Vicar of Wakefeld'' and "The
Deserted Village" The simple slab
with the profile in Westminster Abbey
is not thought to be sufficient honor.
nor yet the slab over the supposed
grave of the poet. The centenary of
Goldsmith's death falls on the 4th of
April next, and there is talk of COM
incarceration in the Crystal Palace, the
money proceeds to be expended in set
ting up the statue. What would Cor
sica Boswell say if he could come to life
again and read these things

The undersigned having met for the pur-
pose of entering into defnltive agree
meut respecting the case Of the steamer
yirginius which went under the flag Of the United
States, and was, on the 31st day of October last
captured on the high seas by the Spanish man-of-
war Tornado, have reached the following conclu-
sions !: Spain on her part stipulates to restore
forthwith the vessel referred to and the survivors
of her passengers and crew, and on December 18th
next to salute the flag of the United States. Ii
however, before that date Spain should prove to
States that the Virenus was not entitled to carry
the flag of the United States, and was carrying
tbon at the reht and ne5 capture tire
salute will be spontaneously dispensed as in
such case not being necessarily ,requirable,
but the United States will expect in such case
a disclaimer Of intended indlgnity to its flag
in the act which was committed further that
if on or before the 25th of December, 1873, it
shall be made to appear to the satisfaction
of the United States that the Virginius did not
rightfully carry the American flag. and not en-
titled to American papers, the United States will
vessel if it be found that it has violated
any law against the United States and
against any Of the persons who may appear
to have been guilty of illegal acts in connec-
ton herewith, it being understood that Spain
will proceed according to the second PROPOSE
ton made to Minister Sickles, and COM
municated in his telegram to
Admiral Polo the 2sth instant, to investigate the
conduct Of those authorities who have nfrnged
the Spanish laws and honorary obligations,
and viii arragn them before competent courts
and infict punishment upon those who
may! have offended, other reciprocal reclaim
atoms to be subject to consideration and
arrangement between the two governments, and
in case of agreement, 10 be subject to arbitra-
ton of the constitutional assent of the Senate of
the United States be given thereto. 1t is further
stipulated the time, manner and place of the sur
render of the Virginius and the survivors of those
who were on board of her at the time of her
capture, and also the time, manner and place
| for the salute to the flag of the United States

< Coal Oil Lamp ExplosiOn.-A cores
pondent from Landisburg, sends the fol-
lowing:
On Monday evening the gath of March,
Mary g. WEIGH, daughter of Robert Glib
son, Esq, of Landisburg, going from
the dining-room to an adjoining one, placed
the lamp on stand, when it instantly ex-
ploded, scattering the oil upon her clothes
and envelopine her in flame, burning her
so severely that ono of her hands may not
regain its former vitality. A neighbor
hearing her screams rushed into the house,
and threw blankets around her and smoth-
cred the fire, which no doubt saved her
from a horrible death. A previous days
washing was in the room which caught fire
and it was with difficulty the greater por-
tion was saved by the united efforts of those
who had gathered TO the scene. 1t would
seem providential, that she had taken the
lamp out Of the dining room, where there
were four children, the result of which II
the explosion had taken place there would
no doubt have been disastrous to them, and
the consequences more fatal.
