Susan Eberhart, the woman Who was
hung at Preston, Georgia, last week,
while in prison whilel away the solitary
hours by making friends Of the rats that
had access to her cell. A man called to
see her few days before her execution,
and after some conversation told her that
he had understood that she had some pet
rats. She tapped on the floor, when out
Of their holes came the rats, until no less
than fourteen of them had answered the
call. They climbed up her lap. and up
her shoulders, and crawled about over
her head, suffering her to caress and han
die them as she pleased. and not one of
them manifested the smallest symptom of
alarm. This story is told by the Augusta
nStitutGonGtiSt.

TYNDALL ON MUSICAL SOUNDS.

The only condition necessary to the pro-
duction OF musical sound is, that the air pull
ses succeed each other in the same interval
of time. No matter what It's origin may be,
il this condition be fulfill d. the sound be-
comes musiral. Ii watch, for example,
could be caused to tick with sufficient rapid
ity-say one hundreds tim es u second-ihe
ticks would lose their individuality, and
blend to musical to1e. And il the strnkes
Of "a pigeons wings could be accomplished AZ
the same rate. the progress of the bird
through the air wonld be accompa MED at the
same rate the PROCESS OF the bird through

In the hummiDg bird the necessary rapidity
Is attained and, when we pass on f, ON
birds toinsects, where vibrations are more
rapid, we have musical note as the ordina.

A correspondent in Epevy Eren'ng enters
complaint that the "negro voters" were excluded
from the banquet of Thursday evening, given to
the President, and the committees of arrange
ment and reception. This is another exhibition
OF the hypocrisy of the Republican party. When
the elections como round the negro is furnished
with cape and torch and made to parade the streets
with white young men, under the political cry Of
" Equality" but after the election the negro Is
allowed to sink back into his former insignihcanec
and absolutely excluded from that social equal
ity" which he had be. II urged to claim by repub-
iican partisans, The party that sought the negro
votes before the election acr the election refuses
to allow even a representative of the race, except
as a waiter, to bepreseni on such occasions as the
one alluded to- This is only another mode of
buying votes.
Pomcroy buys with money, few corrupt
Legislators. Ames and his fellows in bribery,
buy the votes of the Vice President Of the United
States and the leading Radical Senators and
Representatives in Congress, and the small politi-
clans of the Radical party deal in the negro votes
at wholesale by the promise ofequality, social and
and political FalsehOod and curTuption so thor

a Charge OF Monstrous Inhumanity
Against English Prison ORciaIs-Out-
RACES Upon Daniel Redding.
From the Dundee Advertiser, Jan. 3

From the Dundee Advertiser, Jan. 81.
At the Court OF Queens Bench yesterday Mr..
Matthews, q. c., applied on behalf OF Daniel Red
ding, late d convict in Chatham and Milbank
prisons, who was concerned in the Fenian riots
at Manchester, for rule ntSt calling on
DR.. Burns, of Chatham, and DR.. Wilson, of
Millbank, to show cause why a criminal In
formation should not be filed against them Tor
assaults committed by them upon the applicant
during his incarceration in those prisons. Red
ding's allidavt says that while at Chatham prison
he was placed In punishment cell for three days
and fed on bread and water for refusing TO do
work which he was unable to do rem weakness
and exhaustion. On being admitted 10 the
lndrmary, DR.. Burns said that he knew what
he was IN for; that he had got hard labor,
and that he must do it or he would kill him, or
words to that effect. lie was then turned out OF
the inbrmary. In October he was attacked by

that he was dragged around the parade ground by
him to be taken to to- the D'T punishment nft
cell, where he was stripped and beaten with

renamed in the cold for some time. In attempt-
end hurt his head, and he was removed to the
infrmary. On the 10th OF November he applied
for medical assistance but that being the day Of
back to his cell and celebrate the anniversary OF
the Manchester martyrs. ON several occasions
during the month OF January, 1871, he was
burned with rednot irons; his legs frequently
pierced with needles. In the month OF March q
ravanic battery was placed to the soles OF feet
and he received several shocks, causing intense
torture. On the 4th OF January 1872, some blister
ing matter was put on his back and neck. While
the irritation was fresh a galvanic battery was
applied six times a day to the blistered sur
face. The next afrldavit relates what happened
at Milbank. IL states that on the morning after
his arrival DR.. Wilson and three warders pricked
his feet for nearly an hour. He was then
dragged out of bed by the feet, and his head came
In violent collision with the ground. He was then
dragged to the surgery. He was there screwed
into chair of peculiar construction and q gal
vanic battery applied TO various parts OF his body.
on the following day rope was fastened to his
ankles, and while some OF them held him erect the
Others pulled the ropes alternately. Thus he was
conveyed to the surgery, where the treatment
of the previous day was repeated. He was then
until he became insensible. Previous TO the above
acts he was held by the feet while DIR. Wilson beat
him on the stomach, which cansed him to vomit
BY DR.. Wilson'S orders, the warders wiped up the
