RADICAL MEANNEss.-The Radicals in
Lynchburg seem determined that no Tilden
and Hendricks flag shall fly in this vicinity.
About week ago they cut down and car
ried away the pole and streamer that the
boys had put up near West street, stole the
flag, and threw the pole into well. On
Saturday night they pulled out and carried
off the rope with which the flag is hoisted
on the pole near the court house, so that it
cannot be replaced nor the flag hoisted
again without taking down the pole. The
same night similar attempt was made to
remove the streamer from the high pole in
front of the Virginian office. The rope was
cut and the streamer was brought at half
mast, when it got entangled with the tele-
graph wire and could not be lowered fur
Their. Had they wholly succeeded in their
attempt to get the rope out Of the pulley
neither the Stars and Stripes, for which they
affect so much respect, or the Tilden and
Hendricks streamer, could have been hoisted
again, since the pulley is beyond the reach
of any climber.-Ly1achburg Virginian.

SOUTH CARoLIsA NEGRoEs.-Thc negroes

"We, the undersigned, colored voters Of
the city OF Charleston. of Charleston county,
and Of the State of South Carolina, do here
by pledge ourselves to support our own
white people in putting our burdened State

flying that we have been misled by carpet
bag rule in the past, believing that by CO.
operating with our own white people pros
perity and concord will once more prevail
over our State; also, believing that the

pledge ourselves to cooperate with them in
securing good national, State, and city

The WHRPER."-The re, Spartanburg
Herald says: "The colored Baptist church
OF Limestone Springs has an official called
q whipper," whose duty. it is to give a
thorough castigation to all parties violating
the rules OF the church or the proprieties
OF private life. The present incumbent is
an old woman about sixty, who Wields the
rod with vim that strikes terror to all evil
doors. From the way we saw her singing
an ox-whip over the shoulders OF young
African on Saturday her whipping IS no
child's play. She whipped four grown per-
sons. and children not enllmerated curing
the past week. The "whipper" is not re-
sisted. but the stoutest black stands as
meekly as il his salvation depended on it."

Mark T,vain's Report of an Ac-
cidenf.

Mark Twain recently tried his
hand writing up a distressing ac-
cident for a Boston local paper
and this is how he did it:
Last evening about six o'clock,
as Mr.. VIM. Schuyler, an old re,
spected citizen of South Park,
was leaving his residence to go
down town, as has been his usual
custom for many years, with the
exception of only a short inter
val in the spring of 1850, during
which he was confined to his bed
by inquiries received in the at
tempting to stop a runaway
horse, by thoughtlessly throwing
up his hands and shouting which
if he had done so even single
moment sooner, must inevitably
have frightened the animal still
more instead of checking his
speed, although disastrous enough
to himself as it was and was rem
dered more melancholy and dis
tressing by the presence of his
wife's mother who was there and
saw the occurrence, notwith-
standing it is at least likely,
though not necessarily so; that
she should be accommodating in
another direction when incidents
not being vivacious and on the
lookout as a general thing, but
even in the reverse, as her mother
is said to have stated, who is no
more, but died in the full hope of
a blessed resurrection upward of
three years ago, aged eighty-six,
being a Christian woman without
guile, as it were, in property, in
consequence of the fire of 1S49,
which destroyed every solitary
thing she had in the world.
Let us all take warning by this
solemn occurrence and so try to
ourselves that when we
come to die we can do it. Let us
place our hands upon our hearts,
and say with earnestness and sim
cerity, that from this day forth we
will beware of the intoxicating
bowl.

Sir william Thompson ON the
Center of the Earth.
[Trom tho Lonfon Spectator. !

A remarkable address has been
delivered by Sir William Thomp-
son, in the Physical Section of the
British Association, on the subject
of the fluid or solid nature of the
earth's kernel.
While not denying that certain
portions of the earth's interior
are in a molten or fluid state, Sir
William Thompson maintained,
on various more or less recondite
grounds, that no large proportion
of the earth's interior can, by any
possibility, be in the condition of
molten fluid. "Imay say, with al
most perfect certainty, that what
ever may be the relative densities
of rock, solid and melted, at or
about the temperature of lique-
faction, it is. l think, quite GER
tain that cold solid rock is denser
than hot melted rock; and no pos
sible degree of rigidity in the
crust could pre- vent it from break
ing in pieces and sinking wholly
below the liquid lava. Something
like this map have gone on, and
probably did go on, for thousands
of years after solidifcation COM
menced-surface portions of the
melted material losing heat, freez
ing and sinking Immediately, or
growing to the thickness of a few
meters where the surface would
be cool, and the whole solid dense
enough to sink. This process
must go on until the sunk por-
tions of crust build up from the
bottom a sufficiently close ribbed
skeleton or frame to allow fresh
demonstrations to remain, bridging
across the now small areas Of lava
pools or lakes"
That is a striking picture of the
growth of the "round earth,"
which was once supposed to have
been made from the first $50 fast
that it cannot be moved" We
are rather sorry TO be robbed of
the belief in the contral lava

Of the Baggage.
Check SvyindIe.
[FrOm the Hartford PosI

A practice is growing up among
the railroads in this region of re-
fusing to check baggage for any
one till the person has purchased
a ticket to the point to which the
check is desired. The baggage
master punches the ticket, and
then no more checking can be
done on that ticket. This rule
puts a stop to several little swim
dies which in the aggregate have
cost the railroads a good deal. 1t
was ascertained that trunks were
checked at one end of the line,
the checks sent by mail to a per
son who claimed them atthe other
end, and who then presently sent
trunks pack in the same way. In
this manner a large amount of ex-
press business was done free of
charge. Another trick was to
buy a ticket and then get a trunk
or two checked by one train, more
for another train, &C., till perhaps
half a dozen or more, loaded with
knows what, had been
sent free of the extra charge re-
quired. The punching of the
ticket by the baggage man pre-
vents this operation. Another Of
the ways that ale dark is the steal
ing of pairs of checks from the
baggage-room or elsewhere, put
ting one silly upon a trunk in
place of that the baggagc-master
has put on, and then claiming it
the duplicate check. A shrewd
rogue will in that way sometimes
get one or two trunks, but the
chances are that he will get
caught. A while ago former
workman of a certain road, being
with train baggage-men,
used to ride with them in their
car, and contrived to exchange
checks that he had stolen for
those on the trunks, and then
would appear and claim them.
He was detected after he had
5ried the trick a few times, and a
-arge part of his booty was recov-
cred.
