THE WEDDAS.


An interesting paper on the Wcddas,
n tribe of men inhabiting Ceylon, was
read before the department of anthro-
pology of the British Association for the
advancement Of science, by Mr., Ber-
tram Hartshorne. The Wcddas still
depend for their mean of subsistence
upon their bows and arrows, and pass
their lives in the vast forests of Ccyl0n,
without any dwelling houses or system
Of civilization. There Is an entire alb
sence Of any flint or stone implements
among them, and their state OF barbarism
is Indicated by the practice of producing
fire by means Of rubbing two sticks to-
gcthcr, ~ well as by their habitual dis
regard for ablution, Their intellectual
capacity is very slight; they are unable

colors they seem to regard theft and
lying rs an inConceiyabIe wrong, while
they are devoid Of any sentiment Of re-
ligiOn except as that to be inferred from
their practice of offering II sacrifice to the
spirit Of one of their fellows ''immcdi-
ately after his dcccasc." The quotations
indicate the importance Of this account

ations already made on the origin OF re,

We have been looking at the names
which the newspapers are bringing for
ward for the Senatorship from Virginia,
and it is no Disagreement to the gentle
men named to say that Hon. A. H: 81.
Stuartis the choice Of our people above
any of them. We say no disparagement,
for with one OR two exceptions, there are
no names Of men Of experience in national
affairs. Mr.. Stuart would be pre-emlnent-
ly a representative of the State of Virginia
in the U. s. Senate. He represents her
craftsmanship, her culture, her -conserva-
tive ways of thought, her broad views,
her courteous dignity and her honor. AS
a political matter his appearance in the
Senate now is important to her. The
Democratic party, for the first time in
macy years, appears in power in national
politics, and in those halls Mr.. st uart
would be the leader among Southern Sen
ators. consummation most devoutly to
be wished in these critical times when a
rash or miscOnstrued measure might dash
from our lips the cup the whole country is
longing for. AT no time can be more
deeply felt the lack of his cool head and
broad national views for the leadership in
the Senate. 1t is in the power of the
legislature to rise above the petty political
intriguing and hot canvassing which has
attended senatorial elections at Rich
mond ana take man, who, from his first
appearance in Washington, will be reeog-
rized as statesman by those from the
North as well as those FROM the South.

The JOHNSON-IMBODENI MBROGLIO at
Richmond, was at last settled on Monday
by binding Gen. Imboden over in 81 900
to keep the peace, though Mr.. John s..
Wise, his counsel, made strenuous efforts
to prevent such result. During the ex-
animation in court it was announced by
witness that a cowhiding could not
sscool,'' and justified man in killing hs
assailant afterwards without notice. A
Richmond letter says:
There is likely to be more fuss about the

Gen. Johns on yesterday by JnO. s. Wise.

den from an alley and who he threw off
| from him. and he also said that johnson
| was a "base coward" midnight asssas-
! sin,7' &c. ...
! Another letter, written before the final
binding over, but while both parties were
under bonds, says: u
| Gen. Im',oden was very little on the
street to-day, and SO was Gen. johnson.
This morning, however, the officers of the

tween Capt. John S. Wise and Gen. Brad
