One of the delegations awaiting the
presence Of Attorney General Williams in
Washington, is from South Carolina. They
bring with them a summary Of the pardons
granted by Governor Moses as executive of
the State. 1t may astonish the American
people if the statements of the delegation
are to be relied upon, to know that in a
period of nineteen months Governor Moses
granted four hundred and twenty-one par
dous, an average Of twenty-five a month,
and this is exclusive of twenty-five or thirty
criminals who were discharged in batch,
and of whose pardon there is DO record.
The offences Of which the prisoners par
doned were convicted, include two cases
Of murder, twenty-five of manslaughter,
sixteen of rape, thirty-tbree Of burglary,
tweniy-four of arson, and the remainder Of

-Senator morton, oil Indiana, has been
making speech at Terre Haute, in that
State, which, we have no doubt, will be
well worth reading when the full text ar.
rives, BY the teegraphic abstract, it is
apparent that he disposed of the little diff.
ierences in the Republican party very in
geniously, while giving due weight to the
discords in the opposition ranks. lie makes
the most Of the Republican exposures Of
corruption in that party, and has a right to
claim credit for the dominant organization
on that score. There was never party
like the Republican for exposing its own
shortcomings and faults. And it can only
retain its supremacy by casting out those
who, under its shelter, seek their own
rather than the country's welfare.

Miscellany.
A UiOpian Metropolis.

So complete are the reforms lately
effected that the metropolis of Utopia
is now the one city in the universe
where the sun shines without depressing
summer jewellers /; where the wintry
rains fall to clean, not to soil, the
streets where mud is never formed,
because the materials to make it are
not permitted to collect where the
smoke of chimneys, instead of polluting
the homes of the rich, helps to comfort
those of the poor-since the consequent
economy of its methodical consumption
has reduced the price of coal; where
there is government to rule localities,
not a wrongly constituted local board
to misgovern where the vestrymen are
the only occupants of the warehouses
they once helped to fill; where the
poor-rates aid the poor, for there are
many poor, though only the deformed
IN body or mind are paupers. Sanitary
legislation, which once only consisted
in providing comfortable sinecures for
an army of inspectors, now penetrates
the homes of the multitude nearly four
million souls, who once dwelt in ignor-
ant security over a volcano of sewer gas
and boiler steam, now court the breath
of life instead of battling with the poison
of death ; the most extensive system of
town drainage in the world has been
Systematically ventilated, yet not before
the disadvantages of non-ventilatIon
were successfully proved by the death
of many innocent persons, because,
although ventilation was theoretically
known to be necessity, nothing used
to be accepted or discarded by Utopian
society until it had been practically
tested. To be one of dinner party
now is an agreeable treat, since the
guests no longer sit on each others laps,
nor, in the absence of other air, inhale
the contents of each others lungs; the
clubs are now places for the social en-
ioyment of the members, not for the
exclusive profit of speculative proprie-
tors the courts of law still disinfect
the land from moral plague, but they
are no longer plague spots themselves.
In the church the worshippers can see
and hear, and understand both "storied
pane and animated bust ;" and since
people have gone there exclusively to
obtain spiritual consolation they have
ceased to take interest in the dissensions

A Fight with q Lynx.

Some few miles east of East Hampton,
Mass, is a large and lonesome tract of
land covering over an area of eight or
ten hundred acres, and is familiarly
known as the Perkins woods. On the
east side of these woods runs a large
stream; near this stream two persons
recently discovered lynx in the top of
a large hickory. One, lad who has
not seen sixteen summers, bold and
daring, never known to finch in any
emergency, and with the courage of a
Putnam, volunteered to climb the tree.
Both being destitute of guns, it was
bold undertaking to venture to capture
this large beast of the forest. Young
Dan, buoyed up with the hope of killing
this beast with club, quickly assembled
the tree; the density of the limbs al
most placed the beast out of his sight,
but by the help of his knife he succeeded
in looping a few of the branches, which
placed the animal in full view of him.
Its back was arched up, the froth drip
ping from its mouth, its tail though
short was elevated, its eyes flashed,
paving with its fore feet, one after
another, bark and splinters flew. On
the side hill Dams companion managed
to make desperate pass with his club
at the beast; at the same time the ami
NAL made spring, landing on the
ground in his stunned condition. Hoad-
ley grappled with the maddened animal,
and they struggled together down a
declivity. Both plunged into the water.
The eagerness of the lynx to press
through the water and the young mans
unsuccessful attempt to drown it created
such splashing noise as fairly echoed
through the ravine. At length the man
and animal reach the opposite shore in
an exhausted condition. Our young
hero was already there, and had the
satisfaction of completing the destruc-
tion of the savage beast.

Rome is not the only city which has
been awakened from the sleep of ages,
and is putting on the garments of mod
ern civilization. 1t has taken longer to
stir up old Venice than it took to stir up
old Rome; buteven the city of the doges
has taken start, which is surprising to
the city of the popes. A recent letter
from Venice gives an interesting ac-
count of the changes that are in pro-
gress there. Vast basins have been
constructed for the largest vessels,
which are brought close tn the ears, so
that their cargOes can he discharged
and Immediately sent to the interior.
New docks have been built; ship-build-
ing is flourishing; costly improvements
are in progress at the railway station,
and there Is prospect of a branch rail-
road which will bring the city in mme-
diate communication with the Brenner
pass. The commerce of Venice has al
ready greatly increased, and she is Sc
curing. at least in some measure, the
commercial relations she had with the
Oriental world during the middle ages.
Through the city at large numerous
changes are in process of execution;
and those who have gazed on the glory
of st. Marks will be glad to hear that
the miserable little shops which have
clustered about the Campanile for CEN
turies have just been torn down. III
the unificatiOn and liberation of Italy
be offensive to the Pope. they have GER
tainly been the means of elevatlng the
condition of the Italian people.

Etiquette at Foreign Courts.

The objection on the part of several
British ambassadors to perform the KO-
tou, or personal prostration before the
Emperor of China, on the reasonable
ground that it would be tacit acknowl-
edgement of the superiority of that
>, Brother of the sun and Moon" led to
difficulties, in 1892 and 1917, which have
only lately terminated by the Emperor's
consenting to a reception Of diplomatic
representatives without any such degra-
ding ceremonial. The King of Siam, as
was recently announced, has abolished
the prostration of his own subjects, and
in this followed the judicious example
of the Mikado of Japan. AS yet, the
Sovereign of the Burman Empire has
made no such concession. The rule at
his court is, that all who enter into his
presence shall have their shoes removed,
and shall kneel down. Perhaps the
arrival of French diplomatic mission
may lead to a modification of this hu-
initiating etiquette. If not, it may be
fairly anticipated that the French en-
bassy will leave Monchoboo 0he Bur
mese capitaD, without seeing his "gol-
denfooted majesty, for France, whether
republican or imperial, is sensitive on
such points. The first Napoleon, how
ever, declared in 1917, on the return of
Lord Amherst, British ambassador to
China, who positively refused to sub
NIT to the Ko-tou, that he should have
followed the same etiquette as was prac-
ticed by the princes and the chief man.
darins before the Emperor of China, in
Pekin, and that his Majesty had right
to require it. He ridiculed the idea of
attempting to regulate the etiquette of
the palace of Pekin by that of st. James.
SIN negotiations as well as in eti-
quette, he said, "the ambassador does
not represent the Sovereign, and has
only a right to experience the same
treatment as the highest grandee of the
place" This, it should be noted, was
spoken in st. Helena by q discrOwned
Emperor. In the Tuileries, it may be
safely conjectured, Napoleon I. would
have held different, views and used diff
ferent language.

Lfsxt Leading an Orchestra.

This week has been one of great eX-
citement in Weimar, on account of the
wedding of the son of the Grand Duke.
All sorts of things have been going on,
and the Emperor and Empress came on
from Berlin. There have been great
mauy rehearsals at the theatre, of diff
ferent things that were played, and of
course List took a prominent part in
the arrangement of the music. He di-
rected the Ninth symphony and played
twice himself with orchestral accompa-
niment. One of the pieces he played
was Weber's Polonaise in f major, and
the other was one of his own Rhapso-
dies HongrOises. OF these | was at the
rehearsal. When he came out on the
stage the applause was tremendous, ahd
enough in itself to excite and electrify
one. was enchanted to have an op-
portunity of hearing List as a concert
PLAYER. The director of the orchestra
here is beautiful pianist and composer
himself. as well as splendid conduc-
tor. but it was easy to see that he had
to get all his wits together to follow
List, who gave full rein to his lmagl-
nation, and let the tempo fluctuate as he
felt inclined. As for List, he scarcely
looked at the keys, and it was astound-
ing to see his hands go rushing down
the piano and perform passages OF the
utmost rapidity and difficulty, while his
head was turned all the while towards
the orchestra, and he kept up a running
fire of remarks with them continually.
"You violins strike in sharp here"
"You trumpets. not too loud there"
etc. He did everything with the most
immense dpI0D,b, and without seeming
to paw any attention to his hands, which
moved of themselves. He never did
the same thing twice alike. If it was a
scale the first time he would make it in
double or broken thirds the second, and
SO on. constantly surprising you with
some new turn. While you were ad-
miring the long roll of the wave, a sud-
den spray would he dashed over you,
and make you catch your breath. No,
never was there such a player! The
nervous intensity of his touch takes
right hold of you. When he had fin
ished everybody shouted and clapped
their hands like mad, and the orchestra
kept up such fanfare of applause that
the din was overpowering. List
smiled and bowed, and walked OFF the
stage indifferently, not giving himself
the trouble to come back, and presently
he quietly sat down in the parquette,
and the rehearsal proceeded.-Atldntic

Poetry.
The Lady Claire's Secret.

The Lady Claire died yesternight;
Indeed it was a sorry sight
To see her look so pale;
Her face so pallid, yet so fair,
And all her wealth Of golden hair
Gliitering meath her veil
What killed her1 Well, we dare not tell;
II was a sudden mystic spell
That turned her roses white
The bright pink roses in her face,
That daily lost their tinted grace,
Until they faded quite.
Her gladsome step grew sad and slow,
Her laughter lost its silvery how,
Her eyes were full Of tears,
And yet she never let them fall,
But still smiled sweetly on US all
Despite her crushing fears.
All me; II was a sorry thing
The way she drOOped her snowy wing,
our dove with pinions white;
She might have scared to realms Of bliss,
Made strong by loves divinest kiss,
And reached heaven bright.
Dear generous soul, she gave her all,
And only asked pittance small,
Just for her hunger's sake;
The heavenly mama never fell,
She starved for love; ali well, sh! well,
fear her heart did break.
We must not speak of this too loud,
Nor tell it to the gaping crowd,
For women stiive to hide
These mournful secrets in their breast,
Scarce even to themselves confessed;
For such is woman's pride.
And If We spoke this matter loud,
think she'd move within her shroud,
And blush for very shame;
These women are such foolish things,
Just as If hopeless love e'er brings
Clouds on a wOman's fame.

A Wonderful Art.

The mandatory in Rome where
pictures are copied in mosaic, being
thus rendered almost everlasting, or
time-proof, is the most celebrated es-
tablishment of the kind in the world,
some of its productions being little less
than miracles of artistic genius, beauty
and skill. The mosaic is formed of tiny
bits of Opaque colored glass of various
shades, amounting, it is said, to the
almost incredible number of 30, 900 diff
ferent and distinct shades, themselves
so arranged as to form picture perfect
in every detail-in light, shadow, shade
and color. 1t is described as cores
ponding, in some measure, to the pic
lures formed in Berlin wool. The
various pieces of colored glass are
placed in their pre-arrarged order on a
table covered with a sort of cement, and
when this tedious process is over-for
there are many thousands of pieces in
each picture--the surface of the picture
is then smoothed and polished. These
are the main features, mechanically con-
sidered, of this wonderful art.

The WAY OF THE TaASsearssoa BALI

more Sun of Monday last says:
THE sentences imposed in the Criminal Court
on Saturday on the young man Rose, for tine
most brutal outrage, on the occasion OF Sunday
school picnic, upon defenseless and poor young
girl, whom be had absolutely in his power at the
time, to twenty-one years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, and of the young colered man Chas.
H. Jones for tho murder OF Edward Berry, a
companion with whom he had been playing GAGS
are OF that character to signify the surety OF the
punishment of crime in our midst, and hence are
likely to be Of salutary effect. For Roses most
cruel and vile offense he was, under the laws
aud at the discretion Of the court liable to suffer-
death, the same as the black murderer whom the
court consigned to bis doom at the same tiuk- !
but Judge Gilmor thought proper to save the life
Of Rose and dedicate perhaps the period OF his
existence to the expiatien of his oense in prison,
giving the longest term prescribed by the statute,
and which, asan example, must stand as mem
acing terror to any who might be disposed to
indulge in like unhallowed passions. Let the
due punishment of crime be unfailing in certain
ty, and we have the most efficient check upon it
that is in the power Of mere human agency to
