Locomotion in Madeira

ANSDAADAAOM W muASNAHs
From Fraser's Magazine.l
The universal mode OF getting about
is either to ride on horseback or in q bull
lock sledge on runners, or to be carried
in a hammock. There is, however a
fourth mode of descending from the
mountains for three or four miles on a
few roads, and this is by sledges. A car,
to hold either two or three persons, is
placed on wooden nne and descends
the steep, ~wall.inclosed roads principally
by its weight. at starting, and
where the inclination is not great, it is
dragged down by two Of the wonderfully
active Madeira peasants, who run by its
side at the rate Of eight or nine miles an
hour, guiding it by a leather thong at
tached to its front on either side. 1t re-
quires but little or no exertion to draw
it along, for the road is everywhere
steep, and always paved with peb.
bles or long stones, to which additional
smoothness and even polish, beyond
that produced by mere friction, is given
by the constant application Of grease to
the runners of the bullock cara. When,
however, the road becomes very steep,
the men stand on the framework of the
car with one foot, while with the other
they guide or check it, and the car then
shoots down by its own weight with /
velocity that is not a little exciting, and,
after the first dash of, extremely agree
able. The speed is often more than
twenty miles an hour. 1t is wonderful
how the angular corners are turned, the
car lurching up first toward one wall
then toward the other; with what ease
speed is slackened or arrested, and how
seldom any serious accident happens.
Merchants living in their quiutas often
make use Of these sledges to 20 to their
contingencies in the morning, return.

The Negroes and the Public
Schools.

The Negroes and the Public
schools.
New York, September l3.-Judge
Gilbert, Of the Supreme Court, at
Brooklyn, to-day, rendered a decision in
the civil rights case, wherein William +.
johnson, colored, sought to compel the
principal Of . public school to admit his
son, instead OF sending him to a school
provided for colored children. The
court holds that the common schools are
a public charity, that benefits conferred
by them are a free gift from the State,
and like every other donor the State
may prescribe in what manner, and upon
what terms and conditions the gift may
be enjoyed. In conclusion the Judge
says that the statute, by guaranteeing
equal privileges, does not confer the
right 10 enjoy them in common with any
class Of persona OF in any particular
school, and that nothing has been
shown, from which it q be inferred
that the relator has been deprived of the
equality Of privilege to which he il
entitled. The motion for a mandamus
was denied.

The storm at Galvestop

New YoRK, September l7.-A special
from Houston, Texas, pronounces the
storm at Galveston the heaviest since
1867. The city is partially under water
several feet deep in the principal streets.
Several wrecks have been reported. The
Ocean House is entirely surrounded by
water, and the out houses are gone. The
City Hospital s6lled with water. Thirty
workmen on the breakwater being built
by the Government were cut of and lost.
The Santa Fe railroad bridge across the
bay has been swept away, and the Hous
ton railroad bridge is under water twenty
feet. This end Of it has been washed
away. The water at Virginia point has
backed up for three miles on the main
land, and is still rising. The gale is in
creasing, and the barometer falling.
The bay is SO full of water that if the
wind changes TO the north the whole
island is lost and no lives can be saved.
The shipping in the barber was having a
fearful time of it. The ship channel
dredging feet is safe.

Col. Geo. +. ASers, ofNaslvillc, is fond o
angling, and Is also eloquent in describing
the pleasures ofthe fascinating sport; indeed
he has no equal in the South. Frank For.
roster himself never wrote more char.
mingly about angling and othcrsports, than
Col. Akcrs. He went to the mouth of sShOal
Creek this spring as usual, and has written
number of letters to a personal friend
in Nashville, who wisely thought them too
good not to publish, and had them published
in the Onion ant American. We would like
to ropublish them in full, but have not
the space, and will content ourselves with
a few extracts. The party consisted of Col.
Akcrs, Col. Charles Hillman, Frank Fur
man and 6. W. Benson, the lattcra sec
ond Rubenstein. He will commence with
the Colunel's apoStrophe tU'Spring:

Agreeable to request, we give a bio
graphical sketch of !. X. Thomason, who
has become a notorious character. Israc
Thomson is the son of w. G. Thomson
was reared near here, and the grand
son of one Bennett, who was hung in Co
lumbia, number of years ago, for the
murder of traveller, that stopped with
him over one night, who he killed about
fre miles south of here on the old Militia
ry Road, near what is known as the Blowing
Spring, where Bennett is buried. Israel
Thomson is about five feet eight or nine
inches high, dark complexion, has black
hair and eyes, and altogether villainous
face, that seems to have murderer written
on the outlines. We should think he
weighs about one hundred and fifty
pounds. During the war he was with the
Kansas Jay Hawkers. and this was the
school from which he graduated. He
does not belong to the MOrmonS, but is
much married, having two wives and a
number of children. If we have written
him up wrong we hope the young gentle
man of the highway will pardon us, as
he might break Jail, and we are not on
very good terms with the Almighty be
sides we have some affairs which require
settling up. But it must be said that
there is nothing 10 record at least, that
would tend to throw doubt upon what we
have written. MI. PLEASANT.
