lege at Hudson, in July last.
A man by the name Of Carr had sold
drove of hogs to one Of Browns mid
dle-men for counterfeit money. He soon
got into truble. and in defiance of the
Oaths of the order promised the prosecut-
lag attorney of Portage county to be-
come States evidence. The sheriff, with
troop of mounted men, proceeded to
arrest Brown at his house in Is 'ston. In
order to protect Carr from the vengeance
Of his brother tinanciers he was put t.
work on the foundation of the college
among about twenty other men prepared
to defend him. He was never alone day
or night until Brown concluded to forfeit
his bail and avoid trial.
Many of the partners in this institution
had a respectable standing in their neigh
borhoods and men of business. Most of
the middle-men were persons of desper-
ate character who carried on the work of
stealing horses and other thefts in con-
nection with their financial agencies.
They were the terror of Northern Ohio
for twenty years, before the law became
powerful enough to drive them out.

A Statue to Robert Burns.

A bronze statue Of. Robert Burns, the
Scottish poet, has just been erected at
Glasgow, on the one hundred and seven
enteen anniversary of his birth.
This honor to him who may be called
the greatest poetic genius that Scotland
has produced, comes late, but shows how
fondly he is still remembered by his
countrymen at distance Of eighty years
from his death.
Burns career was one of the saddest,
yet one of the most instructive in the
history of poets. Tho son of . poor
farmer, his early life was humble, and
his education very scant. Brought up
to labor with his hands, he was yet an
ardent reader at IN early age; and at the
same time that he was toiling like q
slave to support his parents, he found
time to study the Spectator, Pope's works,
aud other useful books.
Then he began to write poetry himself,
and the poor ploughboy became suddenly
famous. He went to Edinburgh, where
he was petted by lords and ladies, and
SO much courted and praised that he was
fairly spoiled. He became, alas! dissi-
pated and reckless, and soon ran through
the income he derived from his poems,
and exhausted the patience of his friends.
Reduced once more to poverty, he
had to 60 back to farming, and
then accepted the Office of exciseman, q
very Odious and unpopular one, in order
to maintain himself and family.
His poetry, full as it is with passion,
humor and pathos, was the product Of
his sufferings, hardships, and the in
tensity Of his human nature. 1t still
lives, and is repeated everywhere. Who
has not read "Tam O'Shanter," and
"The Cotter's Saturday Night" and "A
Mans Man for u thatY''
Such a poet, of so much merit and in
fuence, we'll deserves to be honored by
statue; and it was very proper to erect
one in the chief city of his native Scot
land.

Physical Degeneracy in America.

A notion was for some time in vogue
that the race had degencrated here. 1t
was mere notion, having its origin in a
prejudiccd perversi"n of isolated facts
in the desire of book writing travellers to
find something strange, and also deroga-
tory, with which to spice their pages
and in craving, which amounts to y
mild Insanity, among Europeon people,
and particularly among all classes of
the British nation, to lay hold of some
distinctive american" quality, whether
physiological, literary, political, or other,
and label it, and file it away, and pigeon
hole it for reference by way of difference
ing "Americans" from themselves.
The notion, I venture to say, was es-
sentially absurd. That a race of men
should materially change in physical
traits in the course of two centuries, I'M
der whatever conditions of climate or
other external influence, is inconsistent
with all that we know upon that subject.
The very pyramids protest against it by
their pictured records. According to
the history of mankind, as it is thus far
known to us, such change could not
take place within such period, unless
to external influences of great modifying
power there were added such an inter
mingling of races as has not yet taken
place here more than in England itself,

The Egg Dance in India.

A much more pleasing performance,
and one which might, perhaps, better
have been mentioned in connection with
the exploits of the jugglers, is the "egg
dance" This is not, MS one might expect
from the name given it, dance with
these fragile objects. 1t is executed in
this wise:
The dancer, dressed in a corsage and
very short skirt, carries willow wheel
of moderate diameter, fastened horizon
tally upon the top of her head. Around
this wheel threads are fastened equally
distant from each other, and at the end
~ each of these threads is slipnoose,
y which is kept open by glass bead
Thus equipped, the young girl comes to-

eggs, which she passes around for in.

pidity. Then, Selling an egg, she puts
1t in one of the slipnOoses, and, with
quick motion, throws it from her in such
a way as to draw the knot tight. The
swift turning of the dancer produces a
centrifugal force which stretches the
thread out straight, like a ray shooting
from the circumference of the circle.
One after another the eggs are thrown
out in these slipnooses, until they make
horizontal aurenle or halo about the dan

still more rapid, so rapid, in fact, that it
is difficult to distinguish the features of
the girl; the moment is critical; the least
false step, the least irregularity in
time, and the eggs dash against each
other. But how can the dance be
stopped9 There is but one way-that is
to remove the eggs in the way in which
they have been put in place.
This operation is by far the more deli
cate of the two. 1t is necessary that the
dancer, by single motion, exact aud
