The Tyrannies of Trades, Unions

Mere associations of ideas, especially
when joined with emotions. affect our
beliefs, not simply without reason, but in
spite of reason, causing us. for instance,
to think there is something intrinsically
repugnant in place where many painful
experiences have been received, and some
thing intrinsically charming in scene
connected with many past delights. The
liability to such perversions of Judgment is
greatest where persons are the objects with
which pleasures and pains are habitually
associated. One who has often been, even
unintentionally, a cause of qualification, is
fayorably judged; and an unfavorable
judgment is apt to be formed of one WHO,
even involuntarily, has often inflicted
sufferings. Hence, where there are social
antagonisms, arises the universal tendency
to blame the individuals, and to hold them
responsible for the system.
1t is thus with the conceptions the
working-classes frame of those by whom
they are Immediately employed, and Of
those who fill the higher social positions.
Feeling keenly what they have to bear,
and tracing sundry real grievances to men
who buy their labor, and men who are
most influential in making the laws,

A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENT ON
SoUND.--The following beautiful expert
ment, described by Prof. Tyndall, shows
how music may be transmitted by an ordi-
nary wooden rod. In room two floors
beneath his lecture-room, there was a
piano upon which an artist was playing,
but the audience could not hear it. A
rod Of deal, with its lower end resting upon
the sounding-board of the piano, extended
upward through the two floors, its upper
end being exposed before the lecture
table. But still no sound was heard.
A violin was then placed upon
the end Of the rod, which was
thrown into resonance by the ascend
ing thrills, and instantly the music of the
piano was given out in the lecture-room.
A guitar and harp were substituted for
the violin, and with the same result. The
vibrations of the piano-strings were commu-
nicated to the sounding board, they trav-
ersed the long rod, were reproduced by the
resonant bodies above, the air was carved
into waves, and the whole musical compo-
sition was delivered to the listening audi

THE BORERS OF THE SEA.-Many
stories are current among us as to how
inventors have borrowed or stolen their
ideas from Nature, and there has been
much ingenious discussion as to whether
hints thus appropriated are properly patent

processes that have been thus used by art,
and it is remarkable that the lowest crea-
lures are the most skilful mechanics in this
particular. An eminent living inventor,
who has made fortune out of patent au-

most successful insects which bore into hard

The Colrax massacre.

Colonel I. W. De Klyne and Colonel
WIN. wright, of General Longstreet's
stan, who were sent to Colfax to investi-
gate the occurrences there, have made a
report, in which they say:
1t is our opinion that few of the co1orcd
men had been killed up to this time, but
that forced by the fire to leave the court
house they were shot down without mercy.
The position and condition of many of tn.
bodies go far to prove this.
Under the warehouse, between thc
courthouse and the RIVER, were the dead
bodies OF SIX colored men who.had evident
lV crept under for concealment. and were
there shot like dogs. Many were shot in
the back of the head and neck. One man still
lay with his hands clasped in supplica-
ton. The face of another was completely
fiattened by blows from a gun, the broken
stock OF double-barTelled shot gun being
on the ground near him; another had been
cut across the stomach with knife after be-
ing shot, and almost all had from three to a
dozen wounds. Many of them had their
brains literally blown out. 1t is asserted by
the colored people that after the fight thirty
four prisoners, who were taken before the
burning of the courthouse, were taken to
the river bank two by two, executed and
hurled in the river. We caused to be
buried in the ditch near the ruins of
the courthouse the remains of fifty
four colored men, three of whom were
SO badly burned as to be unrecognizable.
There were inside the courthouse the
charred bones of one other, and five bodies
we gave to their friends for interment
elsewhere. We saw, also, twelve
wounded colored men, two of whom will
certainly die, and others of whom are very
unlikely to recover.
We are informed that since the fight
parties of men have been securing the
country surrounding Colfax, taking the
mules and other property of the colored
people,
Since writing the above report we have
seen on board the steamboat the colored
man, Lev. Allen. who commanded the
party holding the courthouse. lie assures
us that not single man was killed or
wounded until after their surrender, and
that then they were shot down without
mercy. - We will obtain his sworn state
ment hereafter.
