INDIANoLoGY.-During the past
Summer Monster Adolph Pinart,
Member of the French Academy of
Sciences, Professor Dawson, of Mon
treal, DR.. VIM. F. Tolmie, of Vic
toria, and Hon. James G.. Swan, of
Port Townsend, have been engaged
in preparing vocabularies of the Ian
guages and dialects of the various
tribes of Indians on the northwest
coast. Mr.. Swan has made speci-
ality of the Haidah language, and
has prepared and sent to the Smith
sonian Institution comparative vo-
cabulary Of words in English, French,
Spanish, Latin, Chehalis. Makah
Haidah languages. What direct ben
eft this will be to the French peo-
pie, who have no direct trade with
Neah Bay and Dungeness, it is hard
to say. But if the above named gen.
tlemen want to teach the frog-eaters
how to say 'ickta mika tickee," in
stead of ''qu'estque vous voulez ?"
we have not the slightest objection
to their doing so.
HAULED OFF. Two years ago, the
steamer Gussie Telfair was plying
on this route and did q fair business
between here and Portland. She is
now laid up, awaiting an increase of
compensation for carrying the mails
between Sitka and the Oregon me-
t10polis. We heard, before leaving
San Francisco, that she and the Pei
lean were shortly to form a monthly
line between that city and Sitka,
calling in at Astoria, Victoria, Port
Townsend and Nanaimo. This ar
rangement must still be in allegiance,
as we see no mention of it in the San
Francisco papers. The establish
ment of direct communication be-
tween San Francisco and the Sound
ports, has contributed greatly to this
change, while the growing agricult-
ural interests of the lower Sound
have made great falling off in the
shipment of breadstuffs hither from
Oregon.

AFRICAN ELOQUENCE.

DR.. Redfield, of The Cincinnati Com.
mercial, the most competent and trust
worthy reporter at the Nashville COL
ored convention, says the speaking was
really brilliant, but he awards the
palm to State Senator Smith of Alaba-
ma: He says:
II hear many say-dem0crats, white
men, filled with prejudice and antago-
nism toward the blacks-that the
speech of Smith was the finest speci-
men of oratory ever heard in the CAPT
tai of Tennessee. l have heard great
many speeches in half the states Of the
Union, some of them from the famed
orators of the land, but candor COM
pels me to say that none I have ever
heard was superior to the effort of this
young mulatto, Smith, on the subject
of the relation of the races. You can
find no place to criticise, and are lost
in wonder that homely mulatto, with
thick lips, heavy chin, woolly head,
and not yet thirty years in the world,
could produce such an EFFORT
But for all Smiths eloquence in en-
forcing a suggestion that ultimate des-
tiny Of the colored people in this
country was to civilize and christian.
ize Africa, the delegates did not take
kindly to it. Redfield says common
expression among them was ''d-m
Africa; if Smith wants to go, let him !;
we'll stay in America

WON'T PAY THE BILL.

In the times of exposure of moral
worthlessness, few things are surpris-
ing, yet case in Kansas City shows
such depravity in man hitherto DEEM
ed honorable, that it must attract
especial notice. Turner A. Gill is
mayor of that city, and the charge
against him relates to the political
campaign that ended in the election.
Mr-Pat. 0'Rourke keeps saloon in
Kansas City. One night Mfr. Gill en-.
tered the GROCERY, and, in the pres
ence of witnesses, said: "Pat, set 'em
up lively for the boys" The fair IT,
ference was that he intended to pay
for what ''the boys" drank, and so all
day long there was heavy drinking
upon that basis. After the election,
Pat sent q bill for $40 to the mayor,
and his honor refused to settle, but
said in letter: II have talked with
some of the gentlemen who were with
ME on the visit to your house last April,
and they think with me that made no
such promise as you claim. Owing
you nothing, therefore, l shall pay
nothing" The Times making this
dreadful exposure, exclaims: elbow
do the people of Kansas City-the me-
tropolis of the Missouri Valley-like
the idea of their chief executive officer
being posted in saloon as among the
dead beats who do not pay their whis-
ky bills? Is it not humiliating?"

PARTISAN WORKNEN COMING.

PARTISAN WORkXEN COMING.
Delegates from trades unions in Paris
are coming to the Philadelphia ex-
hibition to inspect the articles shown,
and be thus enabled to make reports
calculated to provoke Improvements.
In a letter they say: 1--WE are told
that some of our American workmen
seem to fear that we may be disposed
to accept work in American shops, and
become thus instrumental in introduc.
ing into your country European labor
on a scale large enough to cause a re.
duction in wages. We prise too much
the esteem and friendship of our fel-
low laborers in America to allow them
to remain, with respect to us, under
such wrong impression. In Europe
we are earnestly engaged in move.
ment tending to constant increase of
our wages. In visiting America our
intention is much more to extend our
knowledge and augment the welfare
of the working classes throughout the
globe, than to contribute in the least
degree to the spreading misery among
our fellow laborers of the new world.
We made an excursion to Vienna three
years ago, that had for it's result to
form 4 link of confraternity between
Austrian and French working men.

A MURDER DISCLOSED IN A DREAM.

A MURDER DISCLOSED IN A DREAM.
Isaac Randolph, the negro who muir
dered his wife at New Haven in the
spring of 1856, gives notice that he
will apply to the next legislature for a
release from State prison, to which he
was sentenced for life. The murder
created a great sensation, and the
story of it is very interesting. He
killed the woman with 4 wash-board
during a quarrel, and probably did not
intend to strike fatal blow. After
the murder, Randolph cut the body up
and buried it in his garden, planting
corn and beans over the spot. Sew
eral days after, Robert Coe, the father
of the missing woman, related with
great impressiveness, the particulars
Of a dream which he had on three sue
cessive nights. He said that Mary
Ann came to him crawling on
her hands, and that when he
asked, her why she did not; walk,
she replied that she could not, for her
legs had been cut of. Each night she
appeared to him on the borders Of =
small brook which then ran at tho foot
of the garden. At last the garden was
examined, and the body was found.

ANNULS HIS SONS WILL.

London LETTER. April 10.
The proceedings of Earl Russell with
regard to the will of his son, the late
Viscount Amberley, have produced
widespread excitement. Mr.. David
Spalding is gentleman and a scholar
who had for some time resided with
the Amberleys, and was their most in
innate friend. Viscount Amberley, in
his will, named Mi. Spalding as the
sole custodian of the education of his
children. When the will came before
the Master of the Rolls for the tes.
tamentary nominations to the confirm.
ed, Earl Russell objected to be carry.
ing out of this portion of the will, on
the ground that Mr.. Spalding was an
Atheist. Mr.. Spalding is not techni-
cally an Atheist, but admitted a suffi.
cient amount of heresy to warrant
Earl Russel's plea that he would not
bring up the children in any recognize
ed form Of religion. Mr.. Spalding
consulted eminent counsel, who in
formed him that the case of the poet
Shelley, who while alive was deprived
Of the custody of his own children on
similar grounds, is still the law of Eng
land, and that if he (Spalding) fought
the case, he would be simply saddled
with the costs. The late Viscount left
to MIR. Spalding the sum of f300 an
nually for the education of his chill
dren, and Earl Russell agreed that this
money should be regularly paid. lam
informed that Mr.. Spalding signed a
paper renouncing his right to act as
educator of the children.

Safety for Criminals.

There has been a considerable dis.
play Of diplomacy between the minister Of
this government and that of England over
the extradition Of Winslow, the Boston forg-
r.. The last dispatch sent by Secretary Fish
demanded the extradition Of Winslow for the
purpose only Of trial upon the charge Of
forgery, and in plain terms stated that re-
fusal to deliver up the reverend criminal
would cause this government to totally dis
regard the existing treaty. That this will be
the result no one doubts, which will only
make each country the asylum for the GRIM
inals Of the other.
