CRIME IN BERLIN,

A correspondent at Berlin draws attention
10 the great increase of crime and violence in
that city. A list of these crimes, many of
them being murders, committed during the
months of November and December, has been
published by the B6rsenzeitung, and it ap-
pears that no city in Europe could show such
an account. None of the victims are rich, and
most of them belong to the poorest class. Thus
a workman vas murdered for 20 Thalers q
widow for a NAL sum of money which she
had about her; a cigar merchant was stabbed
for 800 ThalerS and so on. Some of these
crimes, too, were committed in broad day
light. They are not the work of p~ractised
hands. but of an ignorant, brutal class demo-
rallied by war and military life. and driven
by misery to adopt murder as a profession.
The police meanwhile appear to do nothing to
protect the public. Some half dozen of those
aSsassinations have been committed during the
last two months, but only in one case has the
murderer been discovered.

Il TICHBORNE CASE.

The trial of the Claimant was resumed on
Jan. 2. Including his first speech DR.. Kenea-
ly has actually addressed the jury for AZ entire
working days. On the 8th of Jan. he directed
the attention of the jury to group of witnesses
who were acquainted with Roger Tichborne
at Tichborne previous to his leaving England.
Readers of the reports of the evidence in the
Tichborne trial will not have forgotten Charles
Lewis, the linendraper's apprentice of Alesford,
who swore that Miss Doughty introduced MIN
to cher cousin from Paris" and be afterwards
became the friend and companion of that cousin
in "noctural adventures of an exciting and a
romantic kind. In resuming his address on
Jan. 9, DIR. Kenealy called attention to the
testimony of this witness, and to his story of
how he once wounded Mr.. Tichborne in the
wrist with an iron-pointed stick, and afterwards
dressed the wound in the dark upon Tiohborne

THE SLAVE TRADE AND AFRICAN
CIVILIZATION.

On January 5 Sir Henry Bartle Frere ad-
dressed the members of the Edingburgh Phi
losophtoal Institution on 1.-The Work of DR..
Livingstone, and the Effect it was likely to
have in Africa" He dwelt at great length on
the effects OF the slave trade and its concomi-
tant evils in preventing the civilization of the
tribes of the African continent. He stated
that, if slavery and the slave trade were only
efeotually checked, there could be little doubt
that the commerce of Eastern Africa might
yet rival in extent, while it must greatly slim
ulate, the commerce Of Western India. Regard
ing Christianity merely as a bond of society,
he adduced various arguments to Justify the
belief that it was capable of affording an effect
ual remedy against evils which had so long
prevented the consolidation of the African
negro race into civilized communities. He
concluded Ly pointing out that England was
the agency to exercise the influences of oiviliza-
ton upon Africa, and urged that, while with
regard to the west coast there must be no mis-
take as to whose ideas were to be in the ascen-
dant, they should, with reference to the east
coast, adopt a course similar to that which has
been followed Of late years in India.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ST. CRoIx AVIS"
Sir,
In your notice of the subscriptions which
Mr.. Mccormick is raising for the English
Church in Porto Rico, there is a mistake which
l trust you will allow me to correct.
The Church Of The Holy Trinity" in Ponce
is ALREADY finished, and a very beautiful build
ing it is. Subscriptions areneeded, and are being
made, to pay off the debt due on the building,
which is still a large one, Notwithstanding the
efforts made by the noble-hearted Professionals
of the place, aided by many liberal Roman
Catholics. Until this debt be paid, the Church
cannot be oonsecrated by the Bishop.
1t may interest many of your readers who
are not yet informed Of these facts to know
that the Rev. Alfred f. Giolma, the newly ap-
pointed Rector of the Church in Ponce, arrived
there, with his wife and children, on is Jan
nary. Besides weekday services, he holds
one service in English and one in Spanish
every Sunday. He speaks the purest Spanish
with the same fuency as English.
He will keep a school in connection with the
Church, to which not only Protestant, but also
many of the Roman Catholic gentry, intend to
send their children.
On the application of the PrOtestants, a por-
tion of the public Cemetery has been set apart
by the Government for their use, in which the
Burial Service of our Church has been already
publicly read.

TREES AND FORESTS AND

Yours respectfully,

Or
I think the communication in your issue,
No. 10, signed oh. Eggers, "-regarding the
planting and rearing of certain trees in this

particular study of the Planters here, as | an
sure that every sensible and practical man can
readily comprehend the manner of adopting the
writer's plans, and carry out his suggestions
with beneficial results, and in addition thereto
l would also advise the planting of PIantain
trees extensively, as they require little or no
care after being planted, and yield a large pro-
fit in the shape of food, &c.

ONE of the most signal evidences OF
President Grants smallness OF stature Is
the fact that he appoints small, lnsIgnlh-
cant and unknown men to the highest po-
sitions of trust within his gift. This ls
one of his most significant departures
from the traditions of the past, and from
it has flowed many of the evils OF mlsgoY-
erRment which have cursed has reign. a
marked and brilliant contrast to Grant
in this respect is the conduct OF our GoV-
eraor. John G. Brown. In his appoint
nent of Comptroller of the Treasury and
State Superintendent of Public lnstruc-
tion, he selected two of the very ablest
and most competent men for those posi-
tons, and with special reference to the tai
ents required. We have known Col Jno.
N. Fleming for many years-Our acquaIn-
lance began when he was teaching IN an
academy. His career as teacher was
brilliant and successful; and we are not
afraid to say that he is one OF the most &C
eOmplished scholars in all the land. We
remember well the graceful and scholarly
srSCles he used to contribute to his county
paper; they were classic IN their purity and
beauty. Col Fleming has made an ex'
oellent Superintendent, so far as we have
seen and heard, and no doubt Governor
Porter will appoint him to the same posi-
ton. During the past year, prominent
Northern educators spoke in high terms
ofpraise Of the school system of Tennes
see, and much Of the success of that sys
tenn is due to the able and efficient man
ner with which the State Superintendent
has controlled and managed it. He ha
won the confidence and esteem Of tn
teachers. He took the office when its dr
ties were new and untried, and requires
not only fine executive ability, but patien
and unremitting toll Everything Is ruI
ming smoothly now, but it would not be s
with new man. 1t is not only due to Co
Flening that he hold the office anothee

From the st. Louis Republican,


The interest we take IN the welfare OF
the Democracy prompts us TO give them
word of advice in this very trying hour.
The hour is critical because it is an hour
of victory-no mere fragment of victory,
but deluging, sweeping triumph. The
Democracy have proved that they can
bear defeat with oaken fortitude; it is
success that tries them most severely.
Success in the past has been fatal to them
by provoking them into excuses which for
feited the popular confidence and brought
on defeat, Mr. Benton used to restrain the
savage and dangerous ardor of his party
in the midst of their triumphs by warning
them in his slow measured way, that
moderation is the ornament of veto
ry." The Democracy will do well to re-
mind themselves of the Bentonian maxim
The supreme duty of the victorious party
in the crisis is to keep level head. The
contest fought on Tuesday was very i'm
portant, but it was a skirmish. 1t was
the prelude to the real battle for Nation
al power in 1876 Victory in that battle
seems at this moment to be within the
easy reach ofthe Democracy. Nothing
but an exhibition of that inexplicable and
inexcusable folly which the party have
habit of manifesting at the most mop
perfume times can forfeit it. What they
need is patience, self control and a wear
| ing of their honors with becoming meek

which we make a few choice extracts.
In doing so, however, we think 1t but

Col. Blackburn, OF the Freedman's Say

have not lost anything on account OF
that gentleman's dishonesty out because
of acknowledgement OF the parent Dank at

question then is whether financially, 1T is

would i not be as proper, to enquire
whether il would be cheaper and better to
feed and clothe our children by cOlnbina-
tion. than by individual effort, as to make
the same enquiry in reference to their ed
ucation? Children have to be fed and
clothed, whether we have light crops or
heavy crops, hard times or easy times.
If combination is better in Their educa-
ton. would i not also be better in feeding
and clothing them Your argument, us
I understand it, is that the statistics prove
cenclusively that it costs three or four
times as Innch TO educate children IN prl-
waite as in public schools. Letne enquire
whether a similar saving would not be

Cen, T. b. Smith, of Williamson couD-
ty il something of an inventive genius.
when he was a boy ten or a dozen years
old he, uuaided, constructed h:tle
mill and attached to it a steam engine,
every niece Of which he made with his
own hands. During the war, while lying
around camp he made another Nttle
steam engine, Of novel structure, just Tor
his own amusement. Recently ne turned
his inventive genius into more useful
channels. He has just patented an I'M
movement in steam locomotives, which
PROMISES to be substantial and useful.
I've cannot give any idea of the improve
Inent without the aid Of n diagram, but
the design is 10 enable engineers to draw
the load with smaller and less weIghty
engines. He proposes to oOyIate the
necessity of enormously heavy engines,
which tear themselves to pieces IN short
while and are so destructive to iron rail
ing BRIDGES. Ne. He thinks he can
obvi.te the necessity of carrying ten or
fifteen tons of dead weight IN each engine
In his invention the piston Iods are

DESIGN is to make the driying-wheels hug

nj to move the train, vertically towards

to run from Franklin TO Nashville IN two

so feasible as the former.
