Humanity in War.

It is related of Henry w., the first
French king of the house of Bourbon.
that while besieging Paris, at that time
held against him by the Catholic
League, he was urgently advised to take
the city by assault before the troops
daily expected from the King of Spain
could arrive to succor the leaguers. He
knew that by determined assault he
could carry the works before him, but
he pro tested against it ON the principle
of hun anity.
81 will not" said he, "expose the
capital of my country to the miseries
and horrors which must follow such an
event. [ will show to my people that
am their father and L will follow the
example of the true mother who pre-
scented herself before Solomon. 1 will
not gain the prize through the slaughter
of innocent persons.
In time Henry reduced the city with
the loss of but few lives. In o subse-
quent conversation upon the subject of
the number slain, he exclaimed
"If it were In my power, | would
give anything but my kingly honor to
redeem those citizens, and to have the
satisfaction of informing posterity that
he'd subdued Paris without spilling a
drop of blood"
We have another instance of human
ity in the war of 1876 between France
and Austria. 1t is related of the Arch
duke Charles that, when Fastening from
Bohemia to take commrnd of the Aus
trian army, he met, near the scene of a
late action, large number of wounded
soldiers, both French and Austrian,
who, in the haste of retreat and pursuit,
had been abandoned where they had
fallen. The only horses at hand which
could possibly be used in removing
these helpless sufferers were attached
to the artillery.
"Lct the cannon be left behind, !"
said the humane prince, and let these
poor fellows be saved" And when one
of his generals demonstrated, he added {:
mo, no let it be as L have ordered.
The life of one brave man is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces of
ordnance"
When the French general, Moreau,
into whose hands the cannon thus
abandoned had fallen, learned the mo-
tive which had prompted the Archduke
to make the sacrifice, he ordered the
whole to be restored, observing that he
should be unworthy of being the oppo-
nent of his imperial highness if he took
advantage of so noble an act of hui
manity.

Imaginative Medicine.

Charms, amulets, talismans, and ply
lacteries all belong to the list of articles
which produce imaginative cures see-
ing that the persons who trust to them
believe in some good obtainable from
the m, in purse or in person, in health
or in welfare; and if good does come,
more assuredly the imagination is the
channel through which it approaches.
Two or three years ago, at a town in
Worcestershire, after the inquest en- the
body of man drowned in the Severn,
a woman applied to the chief constable
for permission to draw the hand of her
son, boy eight or nine years of age,
nine times across the dead mans throat,
in order to bring about the removal of
a wen from the boys neck. In another
instance, in the same county, this was
actually done, with fatal results for the
man had died of typhoid fever, which
was in this way communicated to sew
eral living persons. A ring made of the
hinge of coffin, and rusty old sword
hung by the bedside, are Gin some dis
tricts) charms against the cramp head
ache is removed by the halter that has
hung a criminal, and also by q snuff
made from moss that has grown on hui
man skull in a graveyard. Adead man s
hand, and especially the hand of man
who had been cut down while hanging,
dispels tumors. Warts may be re-
moved by rubbing them with a bit of
stolen beef the chips of gallows, worn
in little bag round the neck, will cure
the ague; stone with hole in it, sus-
pended at the beds head, will prevent
nightmare. Many verses are known,
which if repeated aloud, are credited
with curing cramp, burns, and other
bodily troubles. When you have the
whooping-cough, apply for remedy to
the first person you meet with riding on
piebald horse-a ceremony that DR..
Lettsom. the physician, was fated more
than once to become acquainted with. :

The Negro Character.

The whole of my experience in Gen.
trail Africa says that the negroes not yet
spoiled by contact with the slave trade
are distinguished for friendliness and
good, sound sense. Some can be guilty
of great wickedness, and seem to think
little about it; others perform actions
as Enthusiastically good with no great
self-complacency and if one catalogued
all the good deeds or all the bad ones
he came across, he might think the men
extremely good or excessively bad, in
stead of calling them, like ourselves,
curious compounds of good and evil.
In one point they are remarkable-they
are honest. Even among the cannibal
Manyuema, slave-trader at Bambarre
and had to send our goats and fowls
up to the Manyuema village to prevent
their being stolen by my friends own
slaves. Another widespread trait of
character is trusting disposition. The
Central African tribes are the antipodes
to some of the North American Indians,
and very unlike many of their own
countrymen who have come into contact
with Mohammedans and Portuguese
and Dutch Christians. They at once
perceive the superiority of the strangers
in power of mischief, and readily listen
to and ponder over friendly advice.
After the cruel massacre of Nyaugue-
which I unfortunately witnessed-four-
teen chiefs, whose villages had been
destroyed, and many of them killed, fed
to my house and begged me to make
peace for them with the Arabs, and
20 &1o,x CO. 1f <L.1
River Lualaba, divide their country
anew, and point out where each should
build a new village and cultivate other
plantations. The peace was easily
made, for the Arabs had no excuse for
their senseless murders, and each
blamed the others for the guilt.-Dr.

OFFICE OF ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL)
OF PosroFFIcE DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "A, 1874.

WAsHISGrGS, ID. C., April "A, lS14-D
SIR: At your request, / state to you my
understanding of the proper meaning and in
tendment of the word supplement" in the
following sentence of the 12Sth section of the
regulations of the Poetoffice Department:
publishers of newspapers may, without
subiecting them to extra postage, fold with
their regular issues supplement"
The next succeeding sentence of the section
was clearly intended to explain and define the
word as then used but so defined, its exact
meaning is not free from doubt. In my
opinion the word is used according to it's or
binary Specification and meaning-a matter
supplied for completeness, to that to which it is
added or supplemented, which the original
should have contained, but was omitted from
want OF space, time or greater convenience.
AS used in this sentence in relation to news
papers, 1t is printed matter proper to be in
serted in the newspaper to which it is sup
piled but has not been, from want of space,
or want Of time. or because it is more con-
venient regarding space and time, or either,
that it should be printed on separate sheet
II IS not indispensable or necessary that the
sheet should be printed at the office of the
newspaper TO tclich IL is intended TO be a sup
pIeaent but il printed there or elsewhere, to
be considered and treated as q supplement,
it must be printed with the intention and pur-
pose only of supplying an omission in that
particular issue of the newspaper to which it
processes to be supplement, and not for any
other distinct and separate use.
A supplement should have direct relation
to the paper supplemented, and without which
the paper supplemented would be incom-
plete. Very respectfully.

The Arkansas Rebellion.

LITTLE Rock, May 12.-1here was another
slight skirmish to-day between the Brooks
and Baxter forces. For time the firing was
exceedingly brisk, and the greatest excite
ment prevailed in the city. Fortunately,
Uncle Sans blue-coats interposed between
the combatants and prevented the serious
shedding of blood. The Brooksites are re-
orted to have lost eight killed and wounded
he Baxterite casualties were three men
wounded and one horse killed. The nego-
tiations for the settlement of the imbroglio
have all fallen through.
LITTLE Rock, May 13.-Nothing of impor-
tanee in a military way occurred during the
night or to-day. Gen. King White started
out last night with two or three cavalry COM
panies, and one of infantry, and going four
miles south on the Cairo and Fulton railroad,
met the train bringing in the two three-inch
PARROT guns sent from Texas to Gov. Baxter.
and, taking them off, brought them 20 the
city. to prevent tier capture by the Brooks
party.
Several Brook companies were sent during
the day and top % strengthen their lines
in the southwe' I'm part of the city against
the usual picke.-fir 1g and running in of
scouts by both 81 les, nothing occurred
until 2 p. m. Then, two Baxter men
and a Brooksite got into an alterca-
ton on the street in front of the Metro
politan Hotel, which resulted in the draw
ing of revolvers, each party retreating and
firing. Friends on both sides joined in
the shooting, the result being that nom
combatant named Powers and negro were
wounded. As usual, the national troops pre-
vented general conflict. Reinforcements for
both parties continue to come in.
The Legislature met in response to Bakers
call. and, quorum of both houses being
present. an organization was perfected and
Baxter notified that the Legislature was ready
for business.

ONES PHoToGRApH.-It is asserted
that unless man copyright his photo
graph he has no exclusive claim to it.
In other words, man publishes his
face by photographing it, and any one
has right to use and sell such photo
graphs so long as they are not copy
righted. This view of the matter has
recently been sustained by the English
courts, and it is now the recognized law
in England that the ownership of photo
graphs is vested in the photographer,
and not in his sitters. The idea that
man can scatter his photographs broad
cast, and still claim the right to say
whether this or that illustrated paper
shall use them, is deemed an absurdity
which no court would venture to up
hold.

Newspaper Supplements.
From the lansing Olich.) Republican,

n tle laansIIlg KNIICn.J IsepuUuCal'I
We took an appeal from the decision
of the First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral against the circulation of newspa-
per supplements not printed in their
own offices. The matter being urged
on the Generals attention,
he referred it to Hon. L. A. Spence, the
functionary who defines laws touching
our postal service, and he has given the
opinion printed below. 1t fully recog-
nizes the right of newspapers to issue
supplements printed anywhere, but in
tended to supply an omission in that
particular issue of the paper to which
it processes to be supplement. )"

prevailed at the close OF April. A case OF
cholera has been reported at Paris.
A STRANGE announcement, which may be
the first revelation of q political conspiracy
in Russia. has been made in London. 1t is
that the Grand Duke Nicholas, brother of the
Gear, has been arrested for reasons not made
public; that his house has been searched, and
that the proceeding has created intense ex-
element among the people. The British
Government is going to improve the advan-
tage gained by the conquest of Ashantee, and
a new colony is to be formed for the purpose
of uniting that region more closely to the
kingdom.
THE Gear of Russia arrived in England on
the 18th. He was received with much pomp
by the authorities, and with every display of
enthusiasm by the populace. He will remain
in England for severa. days. During the
dense fog the bark Arethusa, from Smyrna
to Nantes, was run down on the 9th of April
by the steamer Cingalese, from London to
Malta and all hands were drowned except
the first and second mates, who were

a note of warning to agricultural laborers,
workmen and others against the attempts Of
unauthorized agents to induce them to emil
CRATE to America, and recommends them to
obtain information at the prefectures before
