A STATUE FOR DIR. MARY WALkER,-The,

A STATUE FOR DIR. MARY WALKER.-There
| Is one thing that Congress can do that would
SAVIOR of justice. Let it vote $1,000 to Vim
ME Ream to make a brass statue of DR.. Mary
Walker, to be erected on dangerous coast
somewhere to warn off vessels. 1t might be
considered cruel punishment of Dr. Mary to
condemn her to be put into brass by Winnie
Rea,n, but she deserves it. And besides
Winnie needs a job, and if she does not get
this, she may seize upon some man or woman
whom the country may like to honor. Per-
haps she could not make another statue like
that of Lincoln, but she could try. That is
unique. 1t Is probably the only stone figure
IN the world that locks like it might col
lapse into d heap from sheer feebleness and
lack of either bone or muscle, OF anything
stamina. 1t is a triumph of art over stone.
II Vienna Ram can make in marble a bag
OF meal that shall appear as fabby as this
statue, she will be great and realist. We
feel certain that she could make a success of
Dr. Mary Walker; make a pleasing, modest
statue. She already knows how to make
pantaloons look as if there was nothing in
them-Hartford Courant.

REV. WHITFIELD HARRINGTON.

This gentleman, who died recently, was
well known and highly esteemed as minis
ter of the Methodist Church, and as pub
lic-spirited and enterprising citizen, being
at the time of his death the head of the
firm of W. Harrington Il Co., large cotton
receivers in this city. The house was or
ganized here in the interest of the Changers
or Patrons of Industry, who, i'll the death
of Mr.. Harrington, have lost one of the
most active and efficient patrons of theil
order.
He was gentleman of fine social charac-
ter, and brilliant divine.
An exchange, speaking of his ministration
before the Secession Convention of Missis-
sippi, says:
Mr.. Harrington, commenced to invoke the
Divine favor upon the action about to be
taken, and for fifteen minutes held his au-
dience wrapt and spell-bound. We have
rarely listened to SO eloquent and impress
sve an appeal as was, on that bleak even
ing in January, 1861, addressed by Mr.. Har
rington to the great God who rules the
world and the destinies Of its people. The
silence was painful, and when he closed, it
was only broken by the Secretary OF the
Convention proceeding to call the roll.
Every person present was impressed with
the solemnity and the responsibility of the
hour, and even those wis most desired a
severance of the bonds which bound us TO
the Union, had feeling of deep sadness
mingled with their qualification that the
deed was done There were tears in the
eyes of stern, bearded men, men not given
to the melting mood, and who in a few brief
months afterwards we're doing their knight
ly devoirs on the red field of strife.

ANECDOTE OF A SPIDER.-A fine old En-
glish gentleman Mr.. Moggridge) with
abundance of leisure for study in natural
history, has written very entertaining
book on insects, in one chapter of which, as
a critic asserts, he "elevates the character
OF the spider 1t is pleasant, at any rate,
to know that he has found out enough about
the creatures feelings to elevate science in
the direction of mercy. The story is briefly
told as follows Moggridge had been in the
habit of immersing for preservation his diff
ferent specimens of spiders and ants in
bottles of alcohol. He saw that they strug-
gled for few minutes but he thought that
the sensation was soon extinguished, and
they We're soon free from suffering. On
one occasion he wished to preserve
large female spider and twenty four of her
young ones that he had captured. He put
the mother into a bottle of alcohol, and saw
that after few moments she folded her legs
about her body and was at rest. He then
put into the bottle the young ones, who of
course manifested acute pam. What was
his surprise to see the mother arouse herself
from the lethargy. dart around to and gather
her young ones to her bosom, fold her arms
around them, and again relapse into insen
sibility, until at length death came to her re-
lief, and the limbs, no longer controlled by
this material instinct, relaxed their grasp
and became dead. The effects of the exhi-
bition upon him is lesson to our common
humanity. He has applied chloroform be-
fore immersion. Judging from the above,
the spider is certainly superior to the
human animal, in the fact that alcohol does
to destroy her natural affections.

THF DIRECT UNITED STAEs CABLE.-A
London correspondent of the Nexs York
Herald writes to that journal that the Direct
nave its cable laid and in working order bv
August, and that it will not charge moro
than fifty cents per word. This would be.
in most cases, less than one half the present
charges, and would force reduction Of cable
rates, which is much needed by the business
community. The new cable is to be laid
from the coast of New Hampshire to Nova
Scotia, thence to New Foundland and thence
to valentia. On May I'd, the Farraday, a
vessel built expressly for laying cables, was
nearly ready for sea, and had on boerd al
most all the cable to be used between New
Hampshire and Newfoundland. The cable
in diameter and twentv-niDe feet deem

American VS.. Foreign Mammals.

Speaking of the children one sees in La.
fayette Square, in this city, writer says
" AS have watched these little men and
women in the care of underlin s, away from
the mother for half day at time, dragged
through the streets, into alleys, into slums,
where, may be, the woman visits some
friend, their eyes beholding all sorts of
filth, their little weakening senses receiving
all sorts of impressions, l wonder to myself
if, in future day, the parents will not be
shocked at some trait exhibited, some evil
cropping out in their child, that may owe
it's birth to these very nursery influences.
lsuppose papa will storm, mamma will wiring
her hands, and both ill wonder how one Of
their blood could be so attainted The few
mothers whom | have met with their chill
dren are foreign born, and bred to atfluence
and wealth, too, will hasten to say, lest
you imagine them vulgar, Mrs. Thornton,
the English Ambassadors, drives and walks
in this park, with her girls and their maids :;
the French Minister'S wife sits near by with
the bonnie, to watch the young count as he
runs over the grass; these people would be
shocked at the idea of allowing their most
precious things to be cared for and kissed
alone by an inferior and vulgar person; and
are American children less precious, or are
American parents less careful and loving"

A CURIOUS ATTACHMENT.-Capt. Murray,
residing on the corner of Pine ami Third
streets, in this city, is the owner of a dog
ana COW, between whom there has, for q
considerable length of time, existed the
strongest conceivable attachment. About
two years since this attachment was first
noticed, and time has only served to increase
the love OF those two dumb creatures. whom
1t may be truly said are now inseparable
The COW is followed to the swamps by her
faithful companion in the morning, and by
her side, wherever she goes, he can always
be found. At night he sleeps under the
same shelter, and is never from the COW a
moment, except the want of food absolutely
drives him away, and then, SO we are in
formed, he does not allow himself to remain
sufficiently loug to satisfy the demands of
hunger. The COW appears to be as devoted
to her canine follower, for, when he is ont
of her sight for the shortest possible time
she will manifest great uneasiness, and sio
pal him until he returns.-Macon Ga Star

Grace Greenwood writes from Washington
of an honest old Kentucky planter who
went to see French play the other day,
and became so indignant at its indecencies
that he had to give vent to his feelings by
publishing the following card in the news
papers: II am tifty-fve years of age, and
have been constant theatre-goer for forty
years, but | have never had occasion to
blush as spectator until last night, when
| saw for the first time that abomination
called Monsieur Alphonse,' at the National
Theatre. Unfortunately, l had taken my
two daughters, young girls, aged fifteen
and eighteen, respectively, attending the
convent in Georgetown. You, sir, may i'm
agine the shock their innocent minds re-
ceived. | am aware that the vehemence of
my remarks may excite tie ire Of managers
and actors OF this most indecent play, but
my first duty is to society, of which my fam
lily forms a part. | inclose my card, sir.
Before the war sir, no man was better
known in the South. My father was District
Judge of Shelby county, KY for twenty
years, and the keys of my front door and
my slde-board are always on the outside. If
my name is demanded you are at perfect
liberty to give it. am prepared to accept
all the consequences of my philippe, under
the oaks or in a court of law.

That extraordinary fraud or remarkable
antiquity, the Cardiff Giant, has turned up
again. The Boston Herald having stated
that the aforesaid Giant had been sold in
New Orleans for the Insignificant sum of SO,
the proprietor of the Giant has brought an
action to recover considerable damages. He
says that the Giant has not been sold in New
Orleans, or anywhere else, for SO, or any
other money; that he is now, and has long
been, in Fitchbnrg, Massachusetts; that he
is worth $4,000; that he isn't fraud, but a
colossal monolith;" that purchaser for
$4,000, scared by this newspaper article, has
backed out; that he, the proprietor of the
aforesaid Giant has thus suffered great loss,
trouble COST damage, and general bothera-
ton. We trust that this case will come to
trial and be thoroughly tried. 1t cannot be
denied that great many learned and intel
ligent people believe in the Giant, and it will
be satisfactory to have his pretentions to
antiquity passed upon by jury. If the
case only takes aproper turn and the right
witnesses summoned, it will not only be an
entertaining but an instructive one. So we
beg that it may go on,-N z. Tribune
