Mr.. JEFFERSON on DUELING AND
DA1CISG.-Thomas Jefferson's views
on duelins and dancing are given il
some old letters which have just been
published in the St. Louis Republican.
He wrote them III 1876, in response to
a request to have rooms set apart in
the University of Virginia for instruc-
ton in the use of the small sword and
in dancing. He refused to grant the
first part OF the request; the other part
of the request was favorably regarded.
its object, in his opinion, "being The
establishment. and not the de.trIc-
ii on, Of the lives of our young citizens
dancing" says Mr.. Jefferson, is
generally-and justly, l think-con-
sidercd among innocent accomplish
ments, while We cannot SO consider
the art of stabbilg and pistoling our
friends, or dexterity in the practice OF
an instrument exclusively used for
killing our fellow-citizens only, and
never against the public enemy"

taken place sincs the surrender OF Corn

as events affecting the present, have
come to pass within the memory OF men
OF middle age. This is to Us Americans,
the bounding up Of & hundred years.
which time holds within itself the dis
tinctive greatness Of the Nineteenth Cen

level, as the ore on the 400 is found
to be not sufficiently concentrated.
Kossuth. -Good progress is being
made in opening the new station OF

on the 800 foot level the material en-
countered presents an improved APP
pearance.
Buckeye.-On the 550-foot level
the east crosscut is out 20 feet from

LANGLEY's SAN Francisco DI-
REcToRY has made its appearance
for 1875. This is the sixteenth
year of its publication, and Mr..
Langley may be proud of the ex-
cellent standard to which he has
brought this invaluable book of
reference. The amount of work
given to the compilation of book
of this kind is almost incalculable,
and requires the long, patient and
efficient labor of large corps of
competent compilers. The volume
for this year is a great improve
ment, both geographically and
editorially, on any number yet
issued. We make room for the
following in regard to the popula-
ton of San Francisco:
Mr.. Langley estimates the pop
ulation of San Francisco on March
l, 1875, to be $50, 123, as follows:
White males over twenty-one, TO-
2O5; white females over eighteen
(estimated), $4,000; white males
under twenty one (estimated) !,
1872; white females under
eighteen (estimated) 81 ,SO4; white
males, names refused, and foreign
ers not taken in the canvass (esti-
mated, 1,750; colored. male and
female, 1900; total permanent
population, 225, 1872; total floating
population (estimated), 5000.
This aggregate, as compared to
that of last year 900, 700), exhibits
a gain of 80, 432, or about fifteen
per cent-a much greater percent
age of increase than has taken
place for similar period since
1850. The number of buildings
erected during the year ending
February %, 1875, is 1,3o9, of
which II are of brick, at cost of
SAIL, 900, and 1918 of wood,
81, 933 300; total, 50, 344, 800.

San Francisco, April 17.-New
temporary building for the deaf,
dumb and blind institute at Berke-
lev was inaugurated to-day, where
the old building was burned. The
shops and the building in the rear
were saved. The Trustees have
turned their attention to this
building, which answers the pur-
pose of an institution for the
present, and at less cost than would
have been incurred by renting
building pending the reconstruc-
ton of an asylum. The Trustees
took upon themselves the pecu-
MARY responsibility of erecting a
building, and prominent citizens
of Alameda county have given
direction that their notes be used
in making payments.
The Coroner has investigated the
circumstances of twenty eight cases
brought to his attention this
month. Six of them were suicides
and seven were victims OF the
Giant powder explosion.
A stevedore named John O'Neil
was committed to the Insane Asy-
lum to-day. He witnessed the late
terrible explosion on Beale street,
assisted in rescuing the injured
persons from the ruins. He was
arrested this morning as he was
attempting to force open the door
of the office occupied by the prop
erty clerk of the Police depart
ment. He gave as reason for the
foolish act that he wanted to be
paid for work done on board a
vessel. His mind was probably
affected by the shock produced by
the explosion.

Whipped to Death.

Some Of our readers may remember
4 negro man named Peter DiggeS, o
about % years old, formerly u slave of
DR.. Talley, of this city, and for a short
time during the War a servant To ZEN.
Wigfall. For some years past Digges
has lived with his wife in Fauquiei
County, on lard belonging 10 Mr.
James Marshall, near Orlean. He was
arrested on the afternoon Of the 9TH
inst. for whipping his son, q boy 10
years of age, i'll such q cruel manner
that he died under the torture. The
alleged p]rOyOcatiOn is that the boy had
run away from home, Di@ges having
been heard To say that he would break
him of running off or kill him and be
hanged for it. On the morning of the
9TH he was seen dragging the boy to the
courthouse with plOw-lineS and hick-
cries in one hand as The instruments of
torture. The boy was stripped naked,
bound, and dashed without mercy.
The unnatural parent then stopped 10
rest for Il spell, scoIding the boy mean
time while he pleaded for mercy. He
then whipped him Il second and posi-
bly, q third time, while the child was
moaning %piteou>ly and yainly e%ndeavor-
inc to rise and dress himself ii obedi-
cnce to his fathers command. The
torture was inflicted in the presence of
two or three negro men, who offered no
interference. Soon after the whipping
the boy died in the most distressing
agonies. Digge>, after being arrested,
confessed that he killed the child, but
urged in ~eXtenuation that he did not
know the injuries he was intlicting.
This apology, however, IS di>proyed
by the condition of the boys body after
dcath.-RicAmoHd Tu.) Wig.
