TIE CHARLIE Ross CAsE.-The Phia-
delphia Times of Tuesday prints the follow
ing in relation TO the renewed effort to
discover Charlie Ross: cone pc son,
whose intelligent understanding of the case
has long since been proved, has worked
so indefatigably that already he is firmly
Impressed with the idea that he holds in
his hands the solution Of the great enigma
As yet he refuses to tell ell he knows, but
he has in his po>S"-.,..I q number of letters
and phOtogi apns bearing directly, he says
upon the case. He has already visited a
certain locality in the western part of Pen
sylvania where the boy is supposed to be
in hiding, and he positively asserts that if
certain propositions In Mr. Barnum's an
nouncement can be made clear Charlie
Ross will be returned by July L. the third
anniversary of his disappearance. The
parties supposed to have the boy in charge
are anxious to be informed how he can be
returned with safety to themselves. Z. +.
Barnum. they say has not the law in his
own hands. and as the abduction is beyond
all doubt public affair. and as they think
detectives are shadowing Barnum's every
movement, they think they have no guar
sntee of safety. Ifit can in any way be ar
ranged that the Governor will grant them
immunity they promise. upon payment OF
the reward, to return the boy. They are
also anxious to know if the reward offered
by Barnham is in addition TO the reward
previously offered for the boys return. II
everything can be satisfactorily arranged
they guarantee that Charlie Ross shall
again be home by the lst day of July"

A River of Ink.

Among the wonders of nature in Algeri
there lis a river of genuine ink. 1t is
formed by the Junction of two streams, one
flowing from a region Of ferruginous soil
and the other draining peat swan. The
waters OF the former are, of course. strong
ly impregnated with iron; those of the
latter with gallic acid. On meeting, the
acid of the one stream unites with the iron
of the other, and = true ink is the result.
The banks Of the united stream would be.
OF all places in the world. the one for a
colony of authors. Fields CT esparto grass,
for paper-making, might be sown in the
neighborhoOd; the paper mills might be
turned by the inky flood; and geese
might be reared to supply quill pens, The
members of the republic OF letters should
there do nothing all day long but sit
dangling their feet In the water, and occa-
sionaly dipping in their pens--a peaceable
crew; except perhaps when they would
plague each other by reading long extracts
from their unpublished works.-[ CasseH's

How to Abandon Sin.

It must needs be pretty sharp pointed
pencil tha. would trace distinction be-
tween guttony and generous living"
between drunkenness and moderate drink
ing between speculation and gambling.
The only safe way touching this class of
sins is to break short OFF Not one man in
thousand can sin moderately on the
lower, the animal side. of his nature. He
can sin in his intellect, and keep his bal
auce; but few men can sin in their pas
sions aud in their appetites, and not be
swept away. That person who allows
grossness to get the mastery over him who
lives chiefly in his sensations; whose in-
stincts have become debauChed, so that,
voluntarily aud involuntarily, he desires
wickedness, that man is lost. You
might as well strive to re-gather the fra
glance of flower from the ashes into
which it has been burnt as 10 reform vir-
tue from the ashes and cinde-s of his char
