A Missionary Ei8p,ng TO America with 4
COI0ueI's Wife

A painful clopcment case h as occur
red within the last few days, the parties
involved occupying a highly respectable
position IN society. The delinq uents
are the wife of q colonel, at present
serving in India, and FREQ Church
missionary. The lady, who is said 10
DC highly accomplished and Of pre-
possessing appearance, had resided with
her husband for some years in India,
and shortly after the birth of her fifth
child had come to Edinburgh and board
ed herself and children with q rcspecta-
bic family in a village in the vicinity.
In order apparently to further the educa-
ton of her oldcrest boy, she engaged a
Free Church divinity student as tutor,
with whom, ultimately, she became
very intimate. Ultimately she rcmov-
cd from her lodgings in the village, and
took up quarters nearer t residence of
the tutor. By.and-by the student rccciv-
ed an appointment asmissionary to Il
station in an important town in the
North, which he bad not long occupied
before he was followed by the lady.
The intimate relations and frequent
communications which took place be-
tween the parties became the subject Of
talk among the gossips Of the town; but
nothing Of a scandaiOus nature was suS-
pccted uutii it was rumored that the lady
and missionary had left the town on the
same day for the South. Inquiry was,
of course, made by tho frIents Of the
parties, who were traced to L.4.don. 1t
is said that they have gone to America,
but nothing has yet been definitely rs
certaincd in Edinburgh as to their where
abouts. The five children have been
left behind. 1t is said that the lady will
have EGO in her own right in the event
of certain circumstances occurring. 1t
is also said that the husband of the lady
will arrive III Edinburgh about the begin
ming of next month, and that the case
will then likely come before the law
courts. The lady is said to be about
thirty five years ofage, and the mission
airy is reported to be her junior by ter
years.

which he had made at the instlgation of
Mr.. Darwin, proved TO demonstrate
that when leaf of this plant contracts
the effects produced are precisely SINH
lar TO these which occur when muscle
contracts. Not merely then were the
phenomena of digestion in this wonder
FIJI plant like those of animals, but the
phenomena of the contractility agreed
with those of animals also. Though
the processes of plant nutrition were in
general extremely different from those
of animals, and involved very simple
compounds, the protoplasm of plants
was not absolutely prohibited from
availing itself Of food such as that ty
which the pretoplasm of the animals
was nourished. Under this point of
view the phenomena of these plants
would find their place as one more link
to the continuity of nature.
Professor Huxley said that the phen-
omena described by DIR. Hooker suggest
ed, with others, perhaps the greatest
problem at present open to them. They
found in the GiorRa action which exact
~ correspondent with what were refIec-
tons in ourselves. The plant, when the
insect touched portion of its Leaf, shuts
it exactly as an infant hand shuts when
touched in the plain. This implied a
nervous system and it showed continui-
y in protoplastic matter. The solution
OF the phenomena of the action of pro-
toplasm in the plant was matter which
would confer great honor on him who
found it.

Darwin was still actively engaged, and
it was with the view Of aiding him that
the President had, lnder Mr.. Darwin

the history OF the subject, and mention

The Han Who Vas Satisfied With the
Weather.

We never knew more than one E:n
who was always satisfied with the wealth
err at all times and under all circumstance
es. 1t was Chubb. In summer when
the thermometer bolted up among the
nIneties, Chubb would come to the front
door with beads of perspiration stand
ing Out all over his red face, until his
head looked ike Il raspberry; and look
at the sky and say, "Splendd-pericct-
" splendid. Noble weather for the
poor and ;hc ice companies, and the
wasbcrwomen They don't shake up
any such weather as this IN Italy. Gin
me my umbrella, Harriet, while | ST, out
ycu on the steps and enjoy H." In the
winter, when the mercury would creep
down fifteen degrees below zero, and
the cold was severe enough TO freeze the
inside of Nesuvius solid 10 the center Of
the globe, Chubb would sit on a fence
and exclain, "By lingo! did you ever
ever see such weather as this? | like
an atmosphere that freezes up your very
marrer. 1t helps the coal trade and
keeps the snakes quiet. Don't talk OF
summer time TO me. Gimme cold, and
give it to me stiff" When there was
drought, Chubb used TO meet us in the
street and remark, "No rain vet, I see

ague, and vets your clothes. II there's /

While it rained for week and swamped i

Ne Will See.

a short time ago sixteen negroes, who
had been arrested in Tennessee on the
charge of threatening q riot, were taken
from jail and murdered IN cold blood. a
public meeting has been held in Mem
phis, to deRounce this outrage, at which
JEFF. DAVIS, Gen. Forrest and others
made speeches. We predict, however,
that not ore of the murdcrcrs will be
punished. 1t is evident that the leading
fire caters in the South have determined
to defeat the Republicans at all hazards,
and to that end are Systematically inau-
gura;ing reign of terror. In the case
referred to, few arrests will probably
be made, for effect at the North, but
there will be no convictions.
This evident determination oh the
part Of the late rebels, makes it very i'm
portant that none bat Republicans be
elected to Congress from the NORTH
Manhattan Nationalist.

THE SITUATION.

While the nomination OF GOV. Osborn
was considered unwise by some mem
bers of tho Republican party, as tar as
we can ascertain the great pass of he
publican voters will stand squarciy by
the nominee. That "bolt" which the &
papers attempted to mako a mountain
of has dwlndled into 'miniature foot
hill" 1t will cause hardly ripple ami
in the end will be laug he'd at by all parties.
The Republican tickets strong one and
will effectively knock down all the ''pins
set mp in the other alley" While it is
possible that Gov. Osborn may have
more opposition than any other candi-
date on the ticket, it is not probable that
he will run more than few hundred
behind a ticket which will receive from
twenty 10 twenty five thousand majorl-
IL in the approaching election. The Q
I party and its papers admit the over
whelming strength of the Republican
ticket, with the exception of Gov. Os
born, and they undoubtedly feel it ain
thoir bones" that Osborn will ercrlast-
ingly give Cuscy sound drubbing.
Most of their work now is against the
head of the ticket The Reform move
ment has melted down to a fight to save
their Governor. They keep Up their
courage on this point by reason of the
action of the foolish editors who have
refused TO hoist Osborn's name, the
weak threats Of Carpenter, Simpson and
Snoddy, and the grumbling which was
heard on the day of the State Conven-
ton. All the dissenters do not compose
a handful and will hardly make them
selves apparent" on the day of the
election. The Osborn wedge which was
TO have divided the Republican party On
the eyes of the 9 z papers, has split off
hardly an atom, and the prospect for M
overwhelming majority for the whole
Republican ticket is glorious. The OPP
position may use all the strategy they
please, sacrifice the balance of their tick
ct TO save their governor and concen-
trate all their power ndin6ucnce in one
channel fer enc purpose, viz: 10 beat
Osborn, and they will come no nearer to
success than the ancient people who at
10 reach the heavens by tower.
There is no reason why Mr.. Horton and .
his friends should not submit as grace
fully TO the situation ms Gov. Osborn
and his friends expected TO do in the
event of Horizons nomination. We
think most of the former, although
sorely disappointed, will give Gov. Os-
born their cordial supper; and assist in
rcaping the same victory which they ex-
pected would have been reaped by Mr.
Horton, had he been nominated. Whla
there is complaint concerning Gov. Os-
Dorn's nomination, we have not seen as
ret one syllable recorded against his al I
Einistration for the past two years, nor
,no fact produced to show why he
should not be nominated. He enters
he contest with a record better ,
han that Of any Governor Kansas eve.
lad. The Republican party should be
proud to support him. We have no .
loubt but that he will be elected by
majority.

Clusters discovery of the new gold
rerion has attracted universal attention
in that direction. Adventures have
struck a bee line for the Black Hills but
have been turned back by the order OF
Gen. Sheridan. The ravines il that
country are literally covered with sold,
not TO mention the "solid masses" which
are Liable to be found stuck away "in
the corners" Although this country is
a Sioux reservation at present, the gov
eminent will undoubtedly take immcdi-
ate steps TO open it to settlement this
