The eleven Molly Maguires confined in
Pennsylvania were hung last Thursday.
There was no bungling and the work was
smoothly done. The condemned men
maintained their innocence to the last and
died without struggle. 1t was hoped by
some that with the execution of these men
the Molly Mcguire society would receive
its death blow, but such does not appear to
be the case rs fresh outrages have been
committed since the hanging, principally
upon those instrumental in securing the
conviction of the victims and the witness
es who furnished testimony against them.

THE TWEED SUIT.

Townsend, Tweed's attorney, publishes
u tremendous arrangement of Fairchild,
the Encouragement Townsend claims
that Fairchild deceived Tweed, by promis-
ing to let him golf he would make IL clean
breast of it; that Tweed did so promise
and stood ready to give information that
would have saved the state two millions,
and would have brought the whole gang
TO justice; but that Fairchild, in the inter-
est of John Kelly and to smirch the rrpu-
tation of certain men, used such portions
of what Tweed confided to him as would
serve his purpose, and then refused to let
him 20 on the score that his testimony is
worth nothing. The true inwardness Of it
all is that Tweed is about us honest MS Il
thousand more who a'e in both parties
There is a very wide spread dread OF see
ing him on the stand, which is probably
the reason why he is kept in duress.
There are republicans who took Tweed's
money, in fact his gigantic frauds could
nor have been carried out without help
from the republican party, and they are
shaking in their shoes. There are plenty
of democrats whom the public esteem who
are spotted with it, and there is a wide
spread uneasiness that Tweed, when he
does get on the stan |, will prove bull in
China shop and kick over great many
very pretty kettles of fish. No one knows
whom the old MN will strike when he
gets within striking distance, and there
are hundreds who do not want him to
have chance to hit. As it stands, the
prosecution has been IN absurd farce. No
one has been punished but Tweed. and he
is no worse than the rest Of them. SIee-
ney gets off by paying back about TWEEN
ieth of what he stole, and 1ngersoll was
out within few weeks of the time he
went in, and the rest of the gang have
never been hurt Il particle. The prosccu-
lions have cost the city four times as much
us was ever realized from tho thieves by
restitution, and so absurd has it become
that the moral effect of Tweed's imprison-
ment is gone. For, owing to FairGhild's
treatment of the case and the Skllful
manipulation of his attorneys, Tweed is
now looked upon as a martyr, and is more
pitied than blam d. 1t is II sad ending
New York is in as bad hands to-day as
1t was when Tweed reigned. and is enter
ing upon another term of fraud and cor
ruption. The twenty millions that the big
ring stole only served to whct the appp-
lite of those who got II bite of it for full
meal.

Horse Racing Cireassians.

A war correspondent writes Shortly
after leaving Rahova, we saw number OF
Circassians engaged in their fayorite
pastime ofracing. The way in which they
race in this: One competitor takes white
flag in his right hand and suddenly breaks
away at full gallop, followed by any one
of his opponents who chooses. Pursuer
and pursued urge their horses to their ut
most speed by fierce shouts and blows Of
the flag or whip, ard the flag bearer turns
his sure footed horse from right to left and
left to right like hare before grey
hound, until either the pursuer acknowl,
edges defeat and returns to his comrades,
or else passes the holder of the flag, when
he takes it, and the pursuer becomes the
pursued. The second heat then takes
place, and should the winner of the first
be again successful, he wins the tie, and
two other competitors take their places.
The game is very exciting, and calls forth
all the splendid horsemanship for which
the Circassians are so justly famed.

Rank In Puritan Churches.

The early Puritans were stern dem.
ocrats. They had no respect for the divine
right Of kings, and no scruples in behead-
ing Charles I. for tyranny. They would
fight to the death in resisting despotism,
and submit without murmur to martyr
dom in behalf oftheir principles. But they
recognized superior merit, and were al
ways ready to give precedence to worth of
character and eminent usefulness.
DR.. Ellis, in the Unitarian Review, re-
calls the fact that IN the first Puritan
churchers Of Massachusetts,, unpewed and
with free seats, places ofhonor were as.
signed to The magistrates and to distin-
guished citizens. He says: ''God has
made men todiffer, and it would have been
wiekedness or folly to attempt TO deal with
man and man as if all were entitled to
like consideration. They did not accept
the modern notion that lone man is as
good as another. They put no obstacle
whatever in the way of any mans rising :,
but till he had risen, they meanthe should
understand that he had his betters. And
50 after prominent place had been as
signed in the sanctuary for the minister
and his family, and for the elders, the
next place Of honor was given to the re-
sident magistrate the next to the highest
military officer in the place THE next 10 the
man OF most worldly substance, provided |
be made a generous public use Of it; and
so on"

The Last Man.

What will become of the last man? Va
rious theories that have been seriously
maintained by scientific men are describ
ed in the Scientific American, and we sum
Marie them:
|. The surface Of the earth is steadily
diminishing elevated regions are being
lowered, and seas are filing up. The
land viii at last be all submerged, and the
last man nill be starved or drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accumulating at
the North Pole and melting away At the
South Pole, the consequence Of which viii
be an awful catastrophe when the earth's
centre of gravity suddenly changes. The
last man will then be drowned By the
rush Of waters.
8. The earth cannot always escape a
collision with a comet, and when the disas-
ter comes there will be a mingling Of air
and conetary gas, causing an explosion.
If the last man is notsufocated, he will be
blown up.
4. THERE'S . retarding medium inspace,
causing gradual loss Of velocity in The
planets, and the earth, obeying the law Of
will get closer and closer to
