The Travelling North Carolina Family.

The Columbus (Ohioj State Journal.
a paper given to romancing, tells the
following in its issue of Oct. %: Two
men, three women, a wagon, and blind
man arrived in this city under circum-
stances that elected considerable SYM
pathy. The blind man was not per-
manent fixture of the party he tackled
himself to it in Southern Ohio, and
dropped out in Columbus. The five
persons remaining are brothers and sis
tiers, and are named Martin. One of the
women is about thirty years old,
and the others are In the neighborhood
of twenty, and the men close to twenty
five. They say they started from Ran
dolph county, n. c., with one horse, a
wagon and few domestic effects, bound
northward to better their condition, but
without any special point certainly in
view. Their horse died somewhere the
other side of Ckillicothe, and from that
wagon themselves. They made halt
yesterday on High street, between State
and Town, and attracted large num-
Der of people by their ragged, dirty con-
dition, as well as by their singular man
ner of locomotion. They are now shap-
ing their course to point north of In
dianapolis, where they have friends liv-
ing. Their story established consider
able pity among those who heard it
particularly in the case of Col Groom,
who, by his own exertions among the
merchants along The street, secured do
nations for them to the amount of $50.
With this they will be enabled to buy
horse. Several pairs of shoes were
given them and they were provided with
places to sleep last night.
One of the sympathetic crowd that
gathered around the meandering North
Carolinians renewed an old acquaint-
ance. He had been q soldier during the
late war, sad had vivid recollection of
a family in North Carolina who, under
circumstances of distress to him, had
Hospitality received him and furnished
him provisions. The story sounds like
fiction, but in the women of the forlorn
party he recognized, after a short con-
versation, the identical persons to whose
bounty he was indebted for "square
meal when soldering.

Emigration Statistics.

In one week in July last 1000 steer
age passengers sailed for Europe from
New York. Last Saturday week 500
sailed in a single ship. During the
year ending June 80, 1873, the outgoing
passengers by sea from the United
States were 119, 154. During the FIVE
years previous the average annual num-
her was 81 900. OF those departing 53,-
FOG were cabin passengers, and IS, AS
were "other than cabin" This excess
in the year named is not due to the
Vienna exhibition, for during the three
months of the spring and summer,
when travel was at It's height, the steam
ships carried only about 500 more pas
sengers abroad than in the correspond
ing period of 1872. For the year end
ing with June, 1873, As. 744 citizens of
the United States came home, and
Is 38S "aliens not intending to remain"
arrived. The whole immigration for
the year was 473,141, exclusive of our
returning citizens. The remarkable in
crease in the number OF people going
abroad indicates the return of immi-
grants for good. Some have made
their fortunes some have been disap-
pointed even labor has failed. This
last cause has operated for the past
year more than heretofore, as the re-
turns of next season will show.-BroOk-

The GuillOtine.

Science, says the London Lancet,
would almost seem to be as tardy of
growth as moral principle in some quar-
tiers, if we may judge from the argu-
ments against death by decapitation
which have been revived IN connection
with the recent executions in France
Poiriers, the Limours murderer, and
Moreau, the herbal poisoner of st.
Dennis, were both guillotined last week,
and forthwith the Partisan press in
Weighs against that mode of execution,
citing the old experiments of DR.. Sue
(the novelist's father, and even advanc-
ing as la plus trdppdnt preuue that the
decapitated head feels and thinks Ia
.joue de Charlotte COrGay rougissant
sous le sutaet du Ualet de t'erecmetr.
Our readers may remember that rather
less than four years ago we had to refute
the theory of DR.. Plnel, that Trop-
mann's head, having lost under the
guillotine the sources of common sensa-
ton, yet retained hearing, SIGHT and
smell, with the whole apparatus of con-
seriousness and Intellect. The trunk,
he maintained, died quietly and pain
lessly from hemorrhage IN the course
of q few minutes but the brain,
shielded by atmospheric pressure, re-
tanned its blood and consequently its
life, for no fewer than three hours
1t is still necessary, it seems, to reas-
sert the fact that while the brain pos
sesses considerable quantity of blood
after decapitation, the blood rapidly
becomes venous for want of oxygen,
the condition being that of asphyxla,
in which consciousness vanishes In
ninety seconds. The physical shock
sustained from the guillotlne would of
itself, moreover, paralyze all nervous
functions too completely to admit of
consciousness taking place during the
brief interval necessary for the thorough
deoxidation of the blood in the brain.
Beyond the momentary impact OF the de-
scending knife on the felon's throat, no
further sensation can be felt. Indeed,
the mode of execution is SO painless as
almost to weaken the deterrent force of
capital punishment, certainly to deprive
those who would abolish that punish
ment of any argument deducible from
the "horrors of the guillotine.

JUDGMENT OF MUSICIANS. Theodore
Thomas, the distinguished founder and
conductor of the famous Thomas
Orchestra, New York, ought to know as
well as any one the opinions entertained
by musicians respecting musical in
struments. He declares that they gen.
orally agree with him in regarding the
MASON & HAMLN CABINET ORGANS as
much the best ms ruments of this class
in the world. 1t is not, therefore, sur
prising that they are now largely ex-
ported to Europe, commanding higher
prices there than the instruments of
their best makers.

THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.

tThe following is translation from an ancient
panieh poem. which, says the Edinburgh ReUiet1,
} surpassed by nothing with which we are ac-
yefrted in the Spanish language, except the lode
Louis de Leon.
Oh, let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse its senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life, in its glories glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast,
Let as the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream JOY
Already past.
Let no vain nope deceive the mind,
No happier let us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day:
Our golden dreams of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like Fastening streams must be
Thai into the engulfng
Are doomed to fall
The sea Of death. whose waves roll on
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
and swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivuiet's glide
To that sad waveI
Death levels poverty and pride,
The rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is bur starting-place;
Lifeis the running of the race,
And death the goal;
There all our glittering toys are brought
That path alone, OF all unsought,
Is found of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
ere all those glittering toys of earth
That lure us here
Dreams OF q sleep that death must break;
Alas before ii bids us wake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp CT death can blight,
The cheeks pure glow of red and white
Has passed away;
- Youth smiled. and all was heavenly fair
Age came and laid mis- finger there
And where are they?
Where isthe strength that spurned decay,
The steps that roved so light and gay,
The hearts blithe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And Joy grows wearisome and woe
When age comes on

Lead i'm Beer.

A Mr.. Atcherly has recently tested a
large number of samples of malt liquors
in England expressly for lead, and has
found thGt pc son in most of them.
The liquor acts, in his opinion, upon
the lead or composition piping used by
beer retailers for connecting the barrel
with the beer-engine in the bar, and in
case where the beer has been for some
time in contact wi b the metal the pro-
portion of lead is very considerable
Hence, be cautious morning beer
drinkers against imbibipg the first
+" pull - of the pump, especially when
their particular fancy happens to be for
"old ale. Sherry drinkers should al
SO be warned against wines doctored, as
is frequently the case, with acetate Of
lead. vre

The Common Council Have the Right to
Increase salaries Of Employees.
Mr.. Charles H. Pentz and James B. Murray, for
merly Assistant City Librarian and Clerk respect
lively brought suit yesterday In this Court for their
salaries from the 1ss the 10th January, 1872 at
the rate Of 81 500 per year. The objection urged to
the payment on the trial was that they were only
entitled to draw salary at the rate OF $500, as
the Common Council was prohibited from ncreas-
ing the salaries OF any officers when they raised the
pay to 81 500. The several resolutions relating to
the increase were read In evidence ny Mr. Dean,
Assistant Corporation Counsel. Mr.. William f.
Mcnamara, counsel Tor plalntins, contended that
the Prohibitory act referred 10 did not apply to
the iaintifIs' case, as they were not ''onicers"
within the meaning OF the statute, but were EN-.
ployes, and as uch the Common Council HAD the
power to increase their salaries. The Court so
held, and instructed the jury to ind verdicts for
the plaintiffs for the larger amount
