-. Birds of Paradise.
The birds of Paradise received
their name,from the idea, enter
tanned at one time, that they inhab-
'ited the region Of the Mosaic para
disc. They live in small area in
Australia, including Papua or New
Guinea, and few adjacent islands.
They are not easily tanned and kept
confined, and few have been brought
alive from their native locality,
Mr.. Beale had one at Macao, China,
that had been in captivity nine
years but very few have been car
ried to Europe, although specimens
of the skins and prepared birds
were taken more than three hundred
years ago. In form and size they
somewhat resemble our crow or
blue>jay, but some are smaller.
They are usually included in the
tribe of. cone-bills, though their
bills are quiet slender for that
group, and a little compressed.
The bills are covered at the base
with doWnyy or, velVety feathers,
which. extend over. the, nostrils ;.
their wings are long and round; the
tail consist Of ten feathers, two Of
them, in some species, very long
legs and feet very long, large and
strong ;; outer toe longer than inner,
and joined to the middle one to-
ward the base hind toe serylong ;
claws long and curved. But they
are chiefly remarkable for the won>
derful development of various parts
of their plumage, and for the me
tallic splendorl: of its rich .hues.
The sides Of. the. body, and some>
times the head, neck, breast, or tail,
are ornamented : with heightened,
peculiarly adeveloped, and showy
feathers. 81. (. s. ~>'~

LYNCH LAW musr BE PIT DOWN,

In view of the high-handed outrage
against the peace and dignity of the
State perpetrated at Trenton yesterday
morning, every reader Of the UNION
AND AMERICAN will commend with US
the prompt action of Gov. Brown in
Offering rewards for the arrest of the
offenders and telegraphing to the Sher-
iff Of the county, offering arms and all
the assistance in his power. Owing to
Brownlow's abuse of the Office, the
Governorship has been shorn of
many powers needed in such an
emergency. The new Constitution
forbids the Executive to call
out the militia except at the
instance of the Legislature, which
could not be convened for days. There
fore, it is the more incumbent on the
people to sustain the Governor with
their moral support. The times are
such that lynch law cannot be tolerated
in Tennessee. Every man who cares
for life, family or property, must
sustain the constituted authorities. 1t
is the only salvation to society. Law
lessness in all its forms, white and
black, must and shall be suppressed, at
all hazards and at any cost.

until they reached Col. Webb's house who
was to take command. They also expected
to meet company from Humboldt under
charge of John Regain which failed TO
come. Their object in organizing thor
oughly was to shoot KuKlux, who they un-
derStood were raiding the country 10 per-
secute negroes.
After examination they were committed
to Jail and the result has been already an
nounced. The lynehing of the prisoners
cIuses much Indignation here.
Fifteen OF the sixteen Prisoners
Killed.
4 special from Trenton TO the AUdldRche
gives the following additional particulars
regarding the slaughter of the cOlored pris-
oners. After the masker, numbering about
one hundred, had obtained possession Ofthe
prisoners, tied them together and marched
OF on the Huntington road a half mile
from town, six of the number were cut loose
and allowed to try to escape, and soon the
cOmma-d was given aud fulf vOlley fired
upon them killing four and wOunding the
other two, one mOrtally. Tie remainder
were carried up the river two miles and
killed. Their remains we're collected and
are being taken care OF.
The Grand Jury Specially Charged 90
Investigate the LynchiDg Horrors
The Circuit Court was in session at
Trenton, and, on its assembling this morn
ing, several speeches were made by men,
bers of the bar, denouncing the conduct of
the disguised men from the country, and
urging upon the Judge 10 give the grand
jury an extra charge, ordering them to send
out for witnesses all along the road from
here to Pickettsviilr, in order % arrest and
punish the criminals.
While the charge was being delivered
rumOrS arrived in hot haste with a report
that large body of negroes were armed
and were marching TO Trenton, which
caused an adjournment of the court. Scouts
were sent out but returned reporting all
quiet. There is no mistake but that the
negroes
Are Well Organized
in this county and are ready for action at a
moments warning. Two companies from
Union City have arrived here. Other dis
patches report everybody under arms.

His discussion of the tariff, National bank,
United States bond, and Civil Rights ques-

uOnal, that he touched upon, was III full
accord with public sentiment. He paid a
fine tribute TO the recent State Convention,
its platform, and its nomination for Gov
ernor, J. d. Porter.
The very finest feeling prevailed, and the
whole assemblage seemed to partake Of the
same spirit that animated the speaker, viz:
to hold the success Of the principles Of our
party above all other considerations, and
respect personal inspirations no further
than they contribute TO that end.
Give US men of principle, moral stamina
and ability for all official positions, and the
old Democratic banner will float triumph
antly all over the State next November.

much. Bit the distinctions which exist In
life are not forgotten even in death. The
poor and rich do not fare alike. The poor
are placed in the ground and allowed to re-
main three years and then the remains are
placed in urns. The better classes are not
buried in the ground, but are cemented up
IN solid walls Of masonry and there stay for
six years Their remains are then placed
in urns or tOlnbs according to the taste or
means Of the friends. The tOmbs are very
pretty, and instead Of immOrtelles or other
flowers, they have figures worked in beads
Of different cOlCrs. These inclOse little
statues and bear some appropriate words Of
love, respect or admiration. Some Of the
t0mbs are completely covered with this
bead work. 5. E. TuLLMAN.

THE fearful uncertainty of negro
testimony never received so terrible an
Illustration as in the frightful butchery
in Gibson county yesterday morning.
Is-that county ramifed with San Do
mingo conspiracy, or are these negro
witnesses at the preliminary trial per-
jurers? Here hangs a doubt that gives
us horrible pause. No negro's testi-
mOny should be accepted, even against
his own race, until it is sifted by an in
telligent Jury.
