Unique Testimony of Jersey Sheriff,

At the Coroner's inquest over the body
OF Walker, alias Roster, the prize-fghter
who was killed in the ring not long
since, the Sheriff of Salem County, N.
j., was a witness. His testimony is
somewhat unique. He said 90 y mes
senger came to my house on Thursday
morning and told noe that a prize-fght
was about to take place at Penusville ;
hitched my horse and driv for the place !;
saw a lot of men there, near to a large
tree notified a lot OF Jerseymen that
they might be wanted, and then placed
myself on large stool and looked at
them for little while and then, says l,
Gentlemen, by the authority vested in
me by the State of New Jersey as Sheriff
of the county of Salem, command you
prize-fghters to git out of here They
said, ooh, my and Pull down your
vest, which 1 didn't do. The most of
them, though, ran away. L afterwards
went to the wharf and locked the Creed

took her away; forbid them

NIXON,s RISE FROM THE GRAVE.
An Egyptian Juggler Astonishing the Ma
tIyes In south Carolina.
From the Charleston Journal of Commerce.

From the Charleston Journal of Commerce.
Prof. Nixon had advertised that he
would allow himself to be placed in
coffin, screwed down, and buried in q
grave six feet deep. He was to remain
there for one hour and half, and then
rise from the grave through the soil.
The grave was dug in Belvidere, and he
said that if he failed he hoped the crowd
would be large enough to insure q re-
spectacle legacy to his wife and chill
dren. Upon approaching the grave
Nixon was seen on a platform perform
ing Juggling tricks. He was dressed in
n bright yellow coat, pink trousers
(short, and about No. IL brogans. Mr..
Nixon claims to be an Egyptian. If the
Egyptians ordinarily dress in that cos
tune, Moses was justified in getting out
of the country at all hazard. An Egyp-
tian taskmaster with hrogan like Nix
on's must have been able to administer
fearful kick. Nixon soon approached
the grave, and made earnest appeals to
the crowd to get away from it. The
coffin was brought forward, and COM
mittee was selected to see that there was
no deception. Nixon now pulled off his
shoes, and stood on the coffin, holding
in each hand a vial. His voice assumed
unnatural solemnity. He said that he
wanted silence for while; that this WAS
life and death matter; his voice became
husky, and perspiration began to start
upon his brow. He paused moment.
A look of grave determination settled
upon his face, and with tremulous
sigh he hastily swallowed the contents
of the vial. In few minutes his face
assumed deathly pallor, and dark rims
appeared beneath his eyes. The spec
tators thought he was going to die. He
lay in the coffin and the lid was screwed
down. The coffin was rapidly lowered
into the grave, and the earth shoveled
in. The excitement increased as the
time for which the Professor was to re-
main under ground (thirty minutes)
passed. At. twenty-eight minutes the
excitement communicated itself to the
judges, and they issued orders for the
horn TO be blown, which was to SUNNI III
the buried man forth. As the first note
of the instrument rang out the assembly
became frantic. Soon a scream rose as
the earth began to crack, and Nixon
came up into sight with load of dirt on
his head. Then howl was caused 10y
the discovery that the Professors APP
pearance had been made through neatly
covered chamber, which was divided
only by a thin partition from the head
of the grave. He had burst the head
out of the coffin, crept into the shaft,
and emerged from it at the sound OF the
horn. He bowed his thanks and with
! dew.

THE WORLDS MERCHANT Snip
PING.


The Aggregate shipping of the British
Empire-The Second Place Occupied by
the United states.
From the returns on the progress OF
British shipping, recently issued by the
Board of Trade, we learn that the ship
ping of the British Empire aggregates
7,744, 1857 tons, of which 6,0S7, 701 tons
belong to tho United Kingdom. Thus
the United Kingdom owns nearly FIVE
sixths of the shipping of the British En-
pire. Other maritime countries, that is
the United States and all the nations of
Europe, except Russia, Spain, and
Portugal, possess an aggregate tonnage
of no more than 1],225,211 tons. The
shipping of the British Empire in mere
capacity, therefore, without reference to
the quality, age, or character of the ves-
sells, is equal to two. thirds of the ship
ping of all other maritime countries.
Next to ourselves the United States
have the greatest merchant navy. Taken
altogether, it has tonnage OF 4, 772, 217
tons. But of this total no more than
1853, 1927 tots are engaged in the for
eign trade. The remaining $3.50, 900
tons are employed in the lake, river,
and coasting trade. Into this latter
trade no foreign vessel, and even no for
eign built vessel, is admitted and the
immense seaboard and vast lakes and
rivers, being thus retained for the ex-
elusive employment of United States
shipping, of course, support very
large fleet But the marine engaged in
the foreign trade-which, being open to
competition, is alone comparable with
our OWNS, it will be seen, smaller
than the merchant navies of our col
onies and dependencies and it shows
no tendency to increase. Next to the
United States, Norway possesses the
greatest tonnage, 1,245, 223; Germany
possesses the next largest, LOSS, 263 ;
and France almost equals Germany,
1,037,273. Thus France, with her vast
seaboard, occupies only the fifth rank
among maritime countries, If we reckon
by tonnage only. We need hardly say,
however, that il is the steam fleet which
at present determines the maritime rank
of country. In steamers we are still
more superior to the rest of the world
than we are made to appear by the fore
going statistics. The steam tonnage of
the British Empire is 2,072, S04 tons ;
that of the United Kingdom alone, /, >
$40, 1877 while all other countries own
no more than /, S3S, 345 tons. Thus the
United Kingdom alone has a greater
steam navy than all other maritime
countries together. AS before, the
United States stands mex, to Great
Britain, with 976, 978 Steam tons in the
coasting trade, and 191, 1899 in the for
eign trade total Of 1,l6S, 967 France
now, however, takes the third place,
with 1874, 545 tons, or little more than
the American tonnage in the foreign
trade. Very close upon France comes
Germany, with 189, 1893 tons, while Nor
way, which takes precedence of both
Germany aud France in aggregate ton
nag is left far behind in the race here.

Madras Jugglers.

After the snake charmer has finished
his wonderful performances, stout,
strong girl comes forward, makes deep
ot,beisance, and then, stepping back,
throws man, weighing fully eleven
stone, over her shoulders. Nor does

once more, places him crosswise on her
back, and then losses him into the air

The owners of the steamship Colon
are considering the interesting conun-
drum: Which is worse, wrecking steam
er at sea, and recovering the insurance on
the boat and cargo, or being wrecked i'll

anceg The Colon, on her voyage out
from New York to Panama, broke part
of her machinery, wher, upon she began
to drift helplessly in direction which
would shortly take her out of the track
OF vessels, and into a desolate part of
the ocean. In this condition she was
sighted by the steamship E5na, and,
hosting signal of distress, the Etna
took her in tow, ana towed her into port.
For this service, which occupied six
days. the owners of the Colon rendered
the Etna 5000. This sum was refused
and $500 demanded, and, payment
being refused. the owners OF the Colon
were sued for salvage. The Colon be-
ing worth $500, 900, and her cargo being
valued at $500. 900, the law of salvage
would give the Etna $3.50, 600 for saving
her. And besides being sued for sal
wage, the United States Government,
having its attention attracted by the
case. has sued the Colon for $4,000
tariff tax on the engine which broke
down and caused her misfortune, he
cause that engine was manufactured in
Scotland, and not in the United States,
and imported without paying the proper
duties. Meanwhile the ship has been
bonded, and placed in the dry dock for
repairs. while her cargo has been bond
ed and forwarded by another vessel.

don't break down, are the cheapest in

Pauperism I'm England.

The annual New Years Day return re-
lating to pauperism in England aud
Wales shows that on the LIST of January,
1876, the number of paupers was 1862,
8S7, which is less by GA, 935, or 10 per
cent. than the number ON the first day of
last year. This shows the paupers to be
in 30, or 3.3 per cent of the popula-
ton according to the census OF 1871, but,
as the population has increased, the ra-
ito in 1876 is reduced and is nearer B per
cent. The decrease is general through
ont England. In the metropolis it is
ia per cent. the Northwestern Divi-
sion, 10.6 per cent; Yorkshire is an ex.
ception, and shows scarcely any i'm
provement at all. Rather more than
one-fifth of the paupers are in the work
house, nearly four fifths receiving out
door relief. The number of adult able
bodied paupers receiving relief-name-
ly, 97,065 (21, $50 men and rs, 4S0
women), is Is, 144, or 1917 per cent. more
than on the first day of last year. The
decrease is 26.5 per cent. in the metrop-
oils, 24.1 per cent in the South Midland
Division, 20.4 per cent. in the North
western, and 20 per cent. in the Eastern
Division but Yorkshire shows an in
crease, having a strike of ironworkers at
Middlesborough. The pauper-roll of

Men who isolate themselves from

though pretty and poetic, does not go
far enough. We are gregarious, and not
intended to march through life either
single or double file. The man who cares
for nobody, and for whom nobody cares,
has nothing to live for that will pay for
the keeping of soul and body together.

CARL ScHURz truthfully says
sHe who wants to have four years
more of the present misery, let him
in the name of common sense, vote
the Democratic ticket?" Why four
years more of the present misery
The reason is given in another SEN
tence copied from the same speech.
Here it is: "Do not trust that party
which stands before you with a
double face, promising hard money
to one and soft money to the other
a party deceiving itself in deceiving
its different wings, and sure to deceive
all of YOU" Remember these words
of wisdom when you come to vote.
Substantial prosperity never came of
dishonesty. Running State cam
paign, as the Democrats in Ohio are
now doing, on Soft platform, and
the Presidential canvass on a hard
money issue, has not the first pri nci-
pie of honesty. 1t is deception, a
fraud, that will bring only disaster.

He supports Tilden for President,
and 1flden supports Wade Hampton

these intimate party associations. the

nificance:
