AGAssIz. fitting tribute is paid to
Agassiz in lIarpers Weekly. We quote,
"lIe had all the chidlike sweetness and
simplicity of character which is the finest
charm of genius, and which is especially
associated with the masters of natural
scicnce-thc spirit Of Newton affirming
that he was but a child gathering pebbles
on the shore of boundless truth =
Where all are hot for money-making he
had no moralistic or philosophic disdain of
money, but a sincere feeling that in his
case care for personal pecuniary success
would be wanton waste of time and
power, Yet no man was more persuasive
with legislatures to grant money for pur-
poses of scientific study, and the secret of
his cloqucncc was the irresistible oonvic-
ton of the absolute nnselfshncss of his APP
peal"

Death in the Midst Of Joy.

A most touching scene of grief is described
by the Evansville Journal as taking place at
Cloverport, on the Ohio River, half way be-
tween Evansville and Louisville. A Mr.. Pierce
and his wife went up to Louisville in good
part for the purpose of purchasing Christ
mas presents for their children. While in
Louisville, Mrs. Pierce took suddenly ill and
died. There was no telegraph or means of
communication by which to send word
to the family at home of the terri
bic atflicton. On Thursday the river
steamer, Morning Star, brought down the
agonized father with the dead body of his
wife. The children, full of joyful expectation,
were assembled at the dock to meet their
parents. The distress Of Mr.. Pierce on see
ing them was so great that he fell into a
swoon. The scene when the terrible truth
was made known to the children was terrible
to the spectators. So sudden was the tran
sition from gladness to utter desolation that
nature could hardly endure the strain. 1t
will be q sad Christmas to that family.

Now that Judge Durell has resigned, Kel-
logg, Casey, Packard and company propose to
try to save themselves by making Norton the
scapegoat of their infamies. With this view
they are preparing to prove to Congress that
Norton is the author Of all the dlsgraceful
deeds at New Orleans, and that if it had not
been for him there would have been no
trouble in Louisiana. The question now is
whether Norton will quietly sit by and allow
his old associates to declare themselves virtu-
GUS at his expense. This new feature of the
case is likely to bring out further develop
ments in the affair.-Ne,r York, World.

THE LOUISIANA TRoUBLE.-The excitement
in New Orleans continues, but no attack upon
the Returning Board has yet been made, nor
has the Board yet given any pretext for vio-
lence. 1t has done nothing, and the outrage
upon justice which it is said it contemplates
remains unexecuted. The Conservatives can
do nothing that will injure their cause more
than to appeal to arms, for in that case the
decision will certainly be against them, and
we are glad to hear that Governor McEnery
and the White League are opposed to any
violence. Congress can this session be COM
PEELED to redeem Louisiana from misrule, I'M
less the Democracy blunder in making party
measure out of what should be a national
duty.-N Y. Herald, 14h inst.

The vine grows abundantly in the eau
casus and q considerable amount of wine is
annually made by the mountaineers but the
native method of preserving it in goat skins,
with the hairy side inwards would scarcely
induce stranger to touch it. Moreover to
prevent the hair coming off and mixing with
the wine, which to copious drinker might
involve some danger Of choking, the skins
are soaked beforehand in naphtha and the
united flavor of naphtha and goats hair is
probably more highly appreciated by those
who habitually drink the beverage than by
the casual faster.
