One Of the abandoned industries of
the South which will probably be Ia
ken up again, is the manufacture of
leather from alligator skins. Some of
the Southern naDers are urging the
neonIe in their vicinity to turn their
attention TO the matter, arguing that If
it Davs New Englanders to bring the
Sims from the South and tan them, it
must nay to tan them where they are
taken, bark and othePNaterial neeessa-
~ being abundant In that region.
Louisiana could by this industry de-
rive large gains.

A DARK RECORD.

The mortality Of the season through
which we are just passing is unprece-
denied in the chronicles of the country.
Disasters by land and water, murders
and suicides at which the soul revolts,
plague and pestilence, accidents which
seem to reverse all possibilities, have
filed up the fateful measure of the glow
ing summer days.
Such a period in olden times would
have brought prayer and fasting to
shorten it. The cry Of "peccavimus"
would have resounded through the land,
and sackcloth and ashes been much in
demand.
We don't belong to the "peccavimus"
age; but still looking back at the black
days of the last six months, we shrink
at the frightful record and wonder if
human life has become of less account
to humanity itself, Or whether God is
sending upon us one Of those periodical
scourges which the overblown sins of
the world require.
Certain it is that human life is fast
ceasing to be the solemn thing we used
to consider it. A certain class of men
who turn religion into a kind of intel
lectual upholstery, and science into a
kind Of dog fancier, are helping this de-
%terioration and extinction of the species.
You may say there is a wide diverg-
ence between railway and steamboat
disasters, murders, suicides, and pestil-
ence, and the pulpit and lecture room.
We can See, however, a strong link con-
Meeting them. Loose preaching, and
loose teaching have Slapped the founda-
tons of faith and made men careless of
all responsibilities to a Higher Power.
The engineer in a lat erailroad disaster
gasped out: "Well, I reckon Tn done
for; but then, when I'm dead, I won't
be responsible to nobody for this acct
dent"
The women who kill their husbands
and lovers, and the men who murder
their wives and mistresses, are allpupils
in that school Of license which admits
no such words as "duty" and "respon-
sibility," In fact the atmosphere of thai
school is permeating the land, and hu,
man life is Invested Of every thing like
dignity or Importance.
Thousands of victims of criminal neg.
ligence are smashed up on railways, OF
blown up on steamers, making no more
ripple in the current of events than thu
sacrifice Of so many animals.
In fact, in the eyes of the new philoso.
ply, human life is merely a space bes
filed by selfish enjoyments and inter
ests and ending in humiliation, tota
and eternal. ..ss

MURDER.-The Delhi Chronicle, of
the 9Th inst, gives the following ac-
count of a murder in that parish:
One Of the most diabolical and cow
ardly murders it was ever our duty to
chronicle was committed near Alto,
in this Parish, last Tuesday night, un-
der the following circumstances:
On the night above named, two men,
or rather devils ~inearnate, rode up to
the gate of Thomas Archibald, Esq, one
of the most prominent, highly esteemed
and worthy citizens OF u parish, and
hailed. A colored man went out to
learn who they were and what they
| Archibald himself who walked slowly
to the gate and leaned upon it; as he
did SO he was asked, "Is that you Mr..
Archibald e. and, before he could re-
ply, was shot through the heart with a
heavy load of buckshot and fell dead
Instantly. The two murderers turned
and rode off in a gallop towards Alto.
The neighbOrhOOd was SOC aroused and
before day the whole western and mid
die portion of the parish was being
secured by an immense number OF
armed men, white and black, in the
most intense state OF excitement; fol-
Mr.. Archibald was extensively known
and universally liked for his genial and
cheerful disposition,
IA private letter, received at this office
next morning, states that the people
knew who they were hunting, but called
no names where they went, lest the
murderers should be appraised of the
fact. We hope they may soon be over.

Gently, sent a package of envelopes to
the post Office for transportation in the
mails, upon one of which the one-cent
stamp had accidentally been omitted.
Principally, the next day, came a mis-
sive from the Postmaster, in q large
official envelope duly bearing a new
official tWo-cent stamp, notifying the
firm of the omission and asking that it
be supplied. The following reply was
sent to the faithful guardian of Uncle
Sans postal treasures:
"Dear Sir-We have received your
notice of a package which we sent with
out a cent attached, and are obliged, es-
pecially as you were obliged to attach a
tWo-cent stamp in order that the notice
might be sent. Enclosed please find a
one-cent stamp for the package we sent
without the cent, and also a tWO-cent
stamp enclosed, for which please ack-
nowledge the receipt of the one-cent
stamp sent to pay the cent on the pack
age we sent without the cent required by
the Postal law"

A special Washington dispatch to the

General Emory, commanding the De-
partment of the South, is here on official
business, and reports that there is no

compromise by which the Republicans
control the Legislature and executive

his place Senator Ferry, Of Michigan,
who was his strongest competitor last

The tongue is generally credited with
the important function in the work of
speech but it is overrated. Prof. Hulk
ley, in his Elementary Lessons in
Physiology" describes the case of a
man whom he examined, and whose
tongue had been removed as complete
ly as a skillfu1 surgeon could have done
it. This mar nevertheless possessed
the power Of articulate speech, gave
imperfect; but j and t were the only
ly pronounce. Hunneric, the VandaI
conqueror, in A. D. 484, had sixty Chris
tan confessors deprived of their
tongues; but they were soon able to re-
sumo preaching.
