able, however, That the Sitting Bull whose

not the veritable sachem whose coo,ness and
bravery prevented the murder OF one OF the

remembered That the agent desired to raise

4 Victorious South.

The truth is, the entire South is grow.
ing rapidly in population. There has
been no great rush of immigration, but
a constant trickling into various healthy
and fertile sections of our fair Southland,
of Northern and Western families who
seek refuge from the inclemency of their
colder climate. In South C;uolina,
Florida and Arkansas and North Eouisi-
ana this influx of population has been
very marked, while in Texas there has
been an absolute tide of new peoples
from all quarters of the world. Here in
Alabama we have witnessed Il current of
immigration of no insignificant kind.
All along the Tennessee river, through
out the valleys of North Alabama, we
find every where strange names and
faces. a dozen villages have sprung up
around iron furnaces which are owned
by men lately from the North. There
IL no question that the South is asserting
her birthright. The gentle light Of the
Southern cross Is attracting the gaze OF
millions. and when the census of 1880 il
taken, il will be found that the COnfed-
crate struggle which forced the emanci-
patton of the slaves has resulted, under
the mysterious workings of Providence,
in inscribing ultimate victory upon the
banner of the South.

The MOabite Stone.

The famous stele or slab of the Moab
ite King Masa, discovered some time ago,
has been placed in the Jewish section of
the Museum of the Louvre. The gov
erment acquired all the fragments of
this precious monument which were in
the possession of NJ. Clermont- Gauneau.
Several other fragments, belonging to the
English &" Palestine Fund Exploration,
have been presented to the museum,
and the engraved surface containing the
text is now complete. The MOabite king
thereupon relates, as is well known, his
wars with the Israelitish princes. This
text supplements and confirms the ac-
count given in the Old Testament in a
most extraordinary and unexpected man
ner But what gives this stele such
great value, apart from its antiquity (the
ninth century before our era), and its
historic value, is the extreme rarity of
Jewish geographic monuments in Pales-
tine. Fhe fragments of the stone having
been joined together, several casts in
plaster have been made of it, and the
letters which were wanting, have been
restored by means of the rubbing"
which was taken of the complete inscrip-
ton before the stone WIS broken by the
Bedouins This rubbing was preserved
at great risks by the Arab who under
took to make it, and who only saved
his life by flight. The directors of the
museum have placed the rubbing be-
tween two sheets of glass fixed in a
movable frame, 50 that it can be studied
conveniently.

The Deterrent Influence Of Capital
Punishment.

1t was remarked after the execution of
three corner men" at Liverpool that
crimes of violence were reported at the
police courts in greater numbers than
usual, and that three persons appre-
hended OH a charge of peculiarly brutal
assault on an old man were overheard to
say that they would finish him off and
swing for it. The fear of violent death,
incomprehensible as it appears, seems to
act rather as an irritant than deterrent
on some natures. Last week on Holborn
Viaduct, within few yards of the prison
where Wainwright lay waiting the exc
cution of his sentence, a new mystery"
of murder was enacted to take the place
of the '' Whitechapel Mystery" Simon
Hatchwell, policeman, was shot there
in a well-frequented and welllighted
street, while walking quietly along with
his wife in plain clothes after his days
work was over His wife heard whiz-
zing sound, and looked round to see her
husband stagger and cry that he was shot
in the head. What does this say for the
deterrent effect of hanging? The excite
ment that has been kept up over the
Wainwright murder is an unhealthy
thing; but the punishment has been as
much before peoples eyes as the crime
