Waltz, the Catskill murderer, was shown,
upon post norton examination, to have
been endowed with fifty-four ounces of
brain, an extraordinary quantity-much
more, in fact, than falls to the lot of an
average man. The trouble with Waltz's
brain was that it wanted cultivation. He,
might have been as persistent and pains
taxing philosopher as he was an assassin.

THE GREAT SEWERS OF PARIs-The Sew
ers of Paris deserve to be ranked among the
wonders of the world. They are traversed
through great portion of their extent by
railways, and are as free from unpleasant
Odor as the streets above them. Passage
through the remaining portion is effected
by means of boats. Along these magnif-
cent sewers are carried the wires of the
telegraph, as well as the pneumatic tubes
for the transmission of small packages by
atmospheric pressure. The stream Of water
passing through the main sewer is SO swift
that not bit of anything is seen floating
along. They are kept free from any large
amount Of sewage deposit by means of pc
culiarly constructed barges, each of which
does the work Of hundred men. The
smaller ones are kept clean by hand, $50
men being employed for the purpose, whose
tenure Of life, after they enter the sewers,
rarely exceeds fifteen years. 1t is by such
a perfect system Of sewage that Paris has
earned the enviabe title of being the clean
est city in the world. All the solid matter
is utilized and made to pay revenue to the
city largely exceeding the interest on the
original cost of the sewers.

A NEGRO IN THE Speakers CHAIR.

| Recently negro-Joseph R. Rainy, .
representative from South Carolina-for the
first time in the history of the country oc-
cupied the Speakers chair, and presided over
the deliberations of the House of Repre-
sentatives, in Committee Of the Whole
There were hundreds of white men better
qualified, but Blaine, the Speaker of the
House. knew full well that to call negro
TO occupy the chair was well calculated to
insult those members who have any regard
for d.cency or propriety left, and the best
means possible Of winning the applause of
that class of Radicals, who, for the sake OF
power and its spoils, regard the negro as
SUPERIOR being To make the insult sharp,
the negro Rainy was called to the chair
while Judge Parker (Democrat), of Missouri,
was addressing the House.
The Radical party seems determined to do
those things which are the best calculated
to arouse and intensity asperities between
the whites and blacks of the whole country
The Chicago Times thus discourses on this
subject:
The African is free all over the South. He
is free to lie in the sum- free to organize pre-
datory excursions on his white neighbours
chicken-roost and smoke-house; free to run
for Congress and the Legislature; free TO
occupy the chair of the Speaker of the House
of Representatives. In fact and truth, he IS
free of all moral restraint, of all legal re-
strant, of responsibility, taxation, vexation,
aud difficulty. He is the most glorIously
free creature in existence-free OF soap, OF
decent garments, of education, decency, pro-
gress, value to human kind, of intelligence,
care for his own future, or the rights OF 9th
ers Such another case of ecstatic freedom
exists no where outside the South, or OF
Paradise.
On the other hand, there are some little

An Ohio newspaper is Mortified to find
that the groceries are good deal more
than the harmless repositories of Goldfish
and wash-brushes." That the "sable and
alluring bottle nestles beneath their count
ers, and if customer, after purchasing a

though an encourager, with or without
sugar, would make a new man of him, he
can get it at any of those modest marts of
trade"

Most people have occasion at some time
to purchase drugs, and hence there will be
general satisfaction at the verdict in Mas
sachusetts court which should have the eff
feet of inducing druggists to use ordinary
care in their business. The case was in
some respects peculiar, for the wholesale
dealers who had put up packages of aconite
in mistake for picra, were sued instead of
the druggist from whom the poinsonous
drugs We're purchased, and verdict of
$4,000 damages rendered against them.
Heretofore, we have had to guard only
against mistakes by inexperienced or care
less persons in making up prescriptions.
But it appears thai deadly drugs are pre-
pared Tor the wholesale market when harm
less ones are supposed to be in the packages
and that the retailers dispense them to their
customers without examination or knowl-
edge of their character. The need of strin-
gent laws to regulate the trade of apothe
carries has long been argued, and from the
revelations Of this Massachusetts case such
laws are obviously essential to the public
safety.

A MICHIGAN GIRL AS A WREsTLER.-It is
unden able that the young ladies of this
city are lamentably deficient in their duty
in the matter of furnishing local items for
the newspapers. Their sisters in other pla-
ces are more mindful in this particular. The
Wyandotte Courier tells of the exploits of a
belle Of the village Of Trenton as follows
"While purchasing some goods Of a dashing
young clerk, she made some remark that
implied doubts Of his muscular ability,
and was promptly challenged to trial of
strength. The young lady accepted the
banter and stepped out into the street, fol-
lowed by the young man, who did not think
that the challenged party was in.earnest.
The moment the young man cleared the
sidewalk he was grasped by the young lady
and a vigorous struggle followed. In de-
Tense the clerk exerted all his strength, but
was thrown to the ground where, with his
head in chancery, he got his face nicely
washed in snow The affair attracted a
crowd Of nearly one hundred persons" If
any Of the girls hereabouts have any con
ceit as to their ability as wrestlers, and will
notify us when they propose to put the mat
ter to a test, we should be pleased to detail
an impartial reporter to make notes of the
tourney. We have an acquaintance with
sundry clerks who would be fit subjects to
practice on.

An unusual trial took place in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer, in New York, on Friday,
before Judge Brady. young man of IRE
probable character was arraigned for utter
ing ten forged bonds of the city of Cory,
but he triumphantly proved his innocence
and was promptly acquitted by the jury. A
melodramatic interest was added to the.
trial by his kissing his wife and her fainting
in his arms at this happy contamination.
Patrons of the drama will, without doubt.
he glad to learn that there is at least one,
theater, and that, too, III the city of New
York, which offers an entertainment not CAL
culated to bebauch the minds of the young.
This theater is Wallick's, where the adul--
ferrous drama" has not yet gained foothold.
Young people are not taught there that.
women are compounded principally of vice
and deceit-whch is the chief motive" of
modern French plays. Whether women
themselves act wisely in inducing their hus-
bands, or brothers, or friends" to take
them to to see such plays, Is matter which
they might do well to think over carefully.
Young men have, as a rule, better opinion
of women than that which they derive from
French plays At the above theater, a
father may safely take his daughter without
running the risk of giving her dose of
moral poison.

Mr.. Pullman is said to have been much
Mortified at the speed with which his palace
car was put through on trial trip on the
Midland (England) railway recently. De-
spite the fact that there was a large number

childs, the superintendent kept up the rate
of seventy miles per hour, while Mr.. Pull

The Car of Russia and his two sors,
Alexis and Constantine, have arrived at
Berlin en- route for England. They go to

the Gear in person. As she has, ever since
the death of Prince Albert, deputized her
eldest son to do the honors on such occa-

honor shown him.
Steam lanes across the Atlantic, to secure
safety in navigation, are attracting the at
tention of the British Government, but that
country seems indisposed to act until it
learns what we intend doing on the subject.
Recently the President of the Board of
Trade, Sir C. Adderly, stated in the House
of Commons that that Government was
aware that bill had been introduced into
Congress for an International Conference to
establish ocean routes of travel, but that be-
fore England would act it would be neces-
sary to learn the opinion of the United States
Government upon this proposition and of
the various shipowners interested No I'M
willingness was shown, however, in refer
ence to entering into an international agree
ment upon the subject.

Of the dome Of the National Capitol, it is
stated that the colossal statue surrounding
it inclnes four and a half inches to the
west in the forenoon, and the same distance
to the east in the afternoon. This fact has
been ascertaned by fixing a plumb line to
the statue and dropping it to the rotunda
below. As the morning sun upon the east
side of the dome heated the ircn and caused
an expansion on the side of the statue it was
thrown westward four and half inches. In
the afternoon, when the sun upon the west
side heated and expanded that part of the
dome. the statue inclined to the east a SINH
lar distance.
