The Mennonites at Castle Carbon.
Among the emigrants now at Castle Garden
are about six hundred Mennonites. II these arc

whose ancestors came here before the Revolu-
ton. Most readers will recall the SINGULAR
historical fact that even Franklin opposed thu
emigration of these people to the Province Of
Pennsylvania, and yet they are to-day the bono
and sinew OF that great Commonwealth The
so-called Scotch-Irish, though proverbiallya
thrifty race had no chance in contendin9
with the steady industry and economy of tho
German religionists, and to-day many of the
most magnificent farms in the State are owned
by the Mennonites. One fact as significant as
it is remarkable is that such thing as
poverty is, and always has been, unknown
among them. A poor Mennonite is harder to
find than rich gambler. The reason of this
is that they teach their children industry and
frugality as a religious duty, and lazi-
them, vices to be particularly avoided.
They are not what the Yankees call
''intelligent," neither are they ''cute,"
but they are extremely honest eminently
active in caring for their own interests, with
out detriment to those Of their neighbors, and
SO industrious that they not only enrich them
selves, but as they have increased in numbers
and wealth they have conferred incalculabla
blessings upon the whole country. They do
not believe in war, but if all men were like
them in developing the natural resources Of
the soil by honest toll the country would soon
become so rich that nobody could afford to
fight. They are a simple, modest, earnest,
industrious and frugal people, and, though
opposed to war and taking no part in politics,
there are no better or more useful citizens.
We have had five or six generations Of Men,
nonites born in this country, and the stock
has proved so satisfactory that we cannot but
receive the new supply with special and
hearty welcome.

How King Theodore Of Abyssinia Died

A few unarmed Abyssinians, at
tracted by the clamor of music and
shouting, mustered courage enough to
approach the standard which waved so
gaily in the mountain gale and on be-
holding one of their countrymen on the
ground. they bent over the body, but
0uicklyrecoiled with fearful dismay on
their faces, exclaiming, "Todros !"
"Todros
The words attracted the attention of
every one, and together they strobe
toward the body, jostling each other in
the endeavor to obtain a glimpse of
him the natives styled "Todros, Ne
gus, Negashi of Utopia"
And what did they see? The body of
a native seemingly half famished, clad
in coarse upper garments, dingy with
wear and ragged with tear, covering I'M
DEPARTMENTS of clean linen
The face of deep brown was the most
remarkable one in Abyssinia; it bore
the appearance of one who had passed
through many anxious hours. His
eyes, now overspread with deathly
film, gave evidence yet of the piercing
power for which they were celebrated.
The mouth was well defined and thin
Tipped. The lower lip was well adapted
to express scorn, and trace of it was
still visible. AS he gasped his last, two
rows of whitish teeth we're disclosed.
Over his mouth two strong lines arched
to high aquiline nose. The nostrils
expanded widely as he struggled to re-
tain the breath which was rapidly
leaving him. The face was broad, high
cheek boned, with high, prominent
forehead and overhanglng eyebrows.
The hair was divided into three
large plaits extending from the fore
head to the back of the neck, which
latter appeared to be very tower of
strength. The body measured five feet
eight inches, and was very muscular
and broad chested. There was char
acter about the features denoting great
firmness or obstinacy mingled with
ferocity; but perhaps the latter idea
was suggested upon remembering the
many cruelties ascribed to him. And
thus was it that we saw the remains of
him whom men called Theodorus, En-
peror of Abyssinia, the Descendant of
Menilek Son of Solomon, King of
Kings, Lord of Earth, Conqueror of
Ethiopia, Regeneration of Africa, and
Saviour of Jerusalem, now dying
dead by his own hand vt..
The Irish soldiers took hold of his
leg and roughly dragged him to a ham,
mock, where, after two or three gasps,
he breathed his last. --,Staniey's Coo

deem it my duty to myself and my position in
this terrible business, to say that during this
affair Mrs. Tilton has more than once admit
ted to me, and to another person to my knowl-
ledge whom do not care to bring into this
controversy the fact OF her sexual relations
with Beecher, and she has never once denied
them other than in the written papers pre-
pared for purpose which l have already ex-
hibited but, on the contrary, the fact of such
criminal intercourse being well understood by
Beecher, Tilton, and Mrs. Tilton to have
taken place, my whole action in tho matter
was based upon the existence of that fact, and
was al endeavor faithfully carried out by me
in every way possible to protect the families
of both the parties from the consequences of
public disclosure of Mrs. Tilton's admitted
infdelities to her husband.
If any evidence was needed that was en-
deavoring to the latest hour to prevent the
publication of all these documents and that
retained the confidence of at least one of the
parties in that endeavor, produce a letter of

A PuzZling Phenomenon.

When a piece of territory settles
away below its accustomed level the
matter is very easily explained, and the
case is the same when there is sudden
upheaval. But in the vicinity of Sche-
nectady, n. Y, a phenomenon has &C.
CURED which gives rise to great deal
of speculative inquiry. The railroad
near that place for about 100 feet has
several times risen to such degree as
to render it necessary to take up the
rails and sleepers and grade the bed
anew. 1t is supposed that vein of
quicksand runs under the hard pan of
the surface at that point, and that the
water from the high ground, saturating
it, and becoming imprisoned, exerts
hydraulic power, lifting the surface.
In accordance with this theory a
method of deep drainage is to be
adopted at Once.-BOSton Journal.

Curious Origin OF Quarrel Between
Dickens and Thackeray.

Edmund Yates has introduced @ae
new era into modern literature of'the
personality painting novel. The late
N. p. Willis was to some extent it's
pioneer, but it was left to Edmund
Yates to carry it to perfection. There
figured In London for some years past
a person named Joseph Ady, who had
rather lucrative love of communicate
ing to vast number of people "some-
thing to their advantage" and whose
chambers, when searched by the police,
were found to contain the addresses
and descriptions of everyone whom he
had ever seen, with whom he had been
brought in contact; and not long since
a professional beggar was dragged to
light whose rooms were covered with
the names and addresses of distin-
guished charitarians, labeled, easily
gulled ;" ga weakness for disabled
sailors lost leg at Trafalgar; good
for iiver;" and so forth. The study
of Mr.. Yates is, in similar spirit and
taste, decorated with sketches of the
eyes and hair and casts of the chins and
noses of every person of any distinction
whom by accident ne may have en-
countered. Indeed one of his noses
got him into much trouble, and was the
cause of long, wordy war and social
estrangement between the two greatest
novelists of our time-Dickens and
Thackeray. Mr.. Yates ventured on
description of Mr.. Thackeray's nose, a
subject on which he was especially sem
sitive. The slaughterer of snobs took
the part of his nose, Mr.. Dickens that
of its painter. The conflict was only
Gained by the withdrawal of Mr.. Yates
from the Garrick Club.

The MOckery of Reconstruction.

The Republican party has been
Justly Landed by mankind for its ex-
traordinary magnanimity in relieving
rebels and traitors from their political
disabilities. Thousands of Southern
men, who sought by every diplomatic
device and by every resort of arms TO
destroy the government; who mani
tested malignity toward Northern
men unprecedented in the annals of
civilization who tortured, murdered,
and starved Union prisoners who
sought to scatter pestilence at the North
and to poison whole armies of Union
troops-these thousands of blood
stained rebels now not only enjoy equal
political rights with patriotic citizens
who fought for the preservation of the
Union, but hold Office and dispense
patronage. But that many of those
who humbly pleaded to be restored to
political rights, and once more took a
solemn oath to support the Constitu-
ton, are at heart rebels still that they
hate the Constitution, and design to
crush the negro beneath the heel of n
new despotism which shall comprehend
all the horrors of slavery except the
name, is demonstrated afresh every day.
Witness the hot and passionate TRADE
of John Forsyth, the editor of the
Mobile Register, whose rebel disabili-
ties were removed no later than last
winter. In a recent article headed
"To Your Tents, Oh White Men," he
says:
To these ward meetings, white men OF all
classes and degrees -rich and poor, learned
and uninstructed-upon whom nature has

cegenation and the damning disgrace Of sub

Changing the Payday.

Some of the largest manufacturing
firms in England have changed payday
from Saturday to Monday, and are rep
resented as being very well satisfied
with the results of the change. The
object is to remove from the working
men the temptations of "holiday "
Immediately after they have been paid
their weekly wages, and having work
waiting for them on the morning follow
ing payday. M. Godin, of Guise,
France, has improved on this system by
dividing his workmen into sections, with
different pay-days for each. He relies
upon the moral example of their fell
lows working steadily on to prevent
those who have just been paid from
wasting their money in dissipation.
