a MEDICAL MONKEY.

All previous narratives Of intelligent pro-
ceedings on the part of animals are thrown
into the shade by the following account of
a medical monkey described by the Oriental
correspondent Of a London journal:
He one day saw monkey holding Il snake
BY the throat and rubbing its head in the
dirt: but as the ground was moist and damp
the snake WAS not readily killed by this mode
of punishment. Every now and then the
monkey would look most knowingly in tho
face of the reptile to see if it was dead; and
in the course of one Of these Investigations
the monkey received severe bite This
angercd him. and he speedy dispatched the
snake, but its coils had hardly relaxed before
the monkey rcelrd and fell PROSTATE, and ap
parcntly mall the agonc- of death by poi-oi.
Ey this time an ged-looking monkey arrived
on the scene. and after examining the bodies
of the snake and its victim, he Immediately
started for some neighbo:ing bushes, where
he collected some leaves of the plant known
as the red chcrchita. These he rapidly and
skillully fashioned into II sort Of pill, which
he administered to his >nanne-bttcn compan-
ion, who speed y revived and walked off
with his physician. The story is declared
to come from trustworthy sources.

MARRIAGE IN CALIFORNIA.

The San Francisco Chronicle has pointed
out some curious features of the civil code
relative to marriage in that State. The law
provides three distinct ways in which q
couple may marry First, a contract follow
ed by q consummation second, the old
fashioned method by solemnization and
third, by declaration of intention, signed,
acknowledged and filed like any other legal
instrument The first marriage. under the
third of these me hods, was recently made
in Stock on and has created a very favor
able impression as Il convedent and inex-
pensivc plan, as it requires no fuss or worry,
no minister, no justice, no anything, but
two parties to make contract, and ac-
knowledge it before a notary. The law
makes this marriage binding, if it is fol-
lowed by mutual assumption of marital
rights, us the fifty fifth section of the code
provides Marriage is a personal relation
arising out of civil contract, to which
the consent Of parties capable of making
it is necessary. Consent alone will not
constitute marriage; it must he followed
by so.emnization, or by mutual assump-
ton of marital rights, duties, or obliga-
tions."

Everybody is to be able to wear diamonds
now, aS process has been invented, We are
told, for the manufacture Of pure artificial
diamonds from beuzinc-not the kind meant
in our police reports wien we say IL man las
imbihcd too much bcnzine, but the genuine
article BcMzinc is introduced into glass
shell about six inches in thickness, and
capable of standing enormous pressure.
Another substance having Il strong affinity
tor hydrogen, but the name OF which is kept
a secret, is introduced with it. The poles of
Il moderately strong battery are also intro
duced and the whole Theoretically sealed.
As decomposition takes place slowly, the
hydrogen unitcs with the substance for
which it has an affinity, and pure colorlcss
carbon is set free, and in course of time
forms in the shape of diamonds Of various
sizes on the interior sides of the glass shell.
The only question is, if the hydrogen unitcs
with the secret substance introduced, for
which it has an affinity, and the carbon is
set free, whence is derived the enormous
pressure which is claimed to be essential to
the success of the process? Unless, per
chance, this substance is also decomposed

Secular Education.

From the Catholic Messenger, 18th instl
It'Is clear that the Catholics gen
orally are waking up to the import
ance OF the education question and
to an understanding OF It's real Is
sncs. They know that the Church Of
God has a right to form the char
aclcr Of her little ones, and that it
is absurd to calculate on having
this done on Sundays exclusively.
1t is a process, that, with the
young, like the growth Of their
bodies, is gong on all the time. 1t
cannot wait for Sunday. And if it
could, if their minds could, during
school hours, b. kept blank as to
morality and religion, it ought not
not to be so. The moral and spr-
itual constitution, like the physl-
cal, has q right to be growing and
expanding all the time TIL maturi-
ty is reached. The Church has a
right to pursue this moral culture
every day and all day. 1t is of as
much importance as secular edura
ton, indeed OF far more. And
there Is no conflict between the
two, no adverse interests in the DC.
cupauon Of tire, for bo.h go on TO-
| gethor, hand in hand, with mutual
advantage
But it is idle to talk of keeping
/ the minds Of children n blank as to
! impressions Of the moral order
Evil is, as 1T were, indigenous in
their souls, and springs up like
weeds from germs borne about in
/ the air. Their school hours are
their most wal.eful and active ones
/ 1t is then that the good impressions
should be ma !e and evil ones
countergrted. 1t is in the school
room that the. Church, through her
approved teachers, has the best op.
/ portunity OF wedding out ths bud.
ding growths of vice from the
youthful heart and planting in
their place those seeds OF
truth which must one day bring

When we consider that al this
can be done without the slightest

must be admitted that Father Do.
herty is right, and that any scheme
which divorces the school house
from the church Is a scheme Of the

Confessions-W bite Men and Wo-
men to be Killed Pretty Wo-
men to be Saved Lands
to be Divided.

AUGUSTA, August 23.-Seyeral
prominent negroes connected with
the troubles in the counties below
here have made confessions. Jake
Morsman, first lieutenant OF ne
gro company, testlfies on oath that
nineteen counties were to be en-
braced in the insurrection. Last
Friday WAS appointed for the up
rising, and all the white men aud
ugI Y white women were to be kill
ed, pretty white women were to be
spared and the lands and spoils
were to be divided among the ne
groes. All who have so far CON
iessed testify substantially the same
as Jake Moreman. Gov. Smith ar
rived this afternoon from Wayns-
bOre, and he determined TO pre-
serve peace, enforce the laws and
do justice to whites and blacks.
Governor Smith was serenaded TO.
night, and made speech TO large
concourse Of people. He SAID that
there was serions cause for the ap
pr1henslon of an insurreCtion IN
the disturbed counties, but, owing
TO the timely and prudent action
Of the whites, all danger has passed.
The great mass of the cOlored peo-
pie really know nothing Of the
gravity and danger of the plot into
which they were being led by a
few bad negroes. He counscled
prudence and torbearance. All
men, white and black should be
protected in their rights Of person
and property. He would see to it
that peace, order and good govern
ment were preserved by the rigid
enforcement Of the law. The courts
were open, and all violaters of the
peace would be tried and punished.
There was no reason to apprehend
any further infraetions OF the peace.
lie will offer reward of five hun
drcd dollars for the arrest of Gen.
Morris, the leader in the recent
troubles. 1t is reported that a
colored man was killed in one Of
the counties. The governor says
he will offer q reward for the arrest
OF the murdorers, il the report
proves correct.
