JUVENILE HoRRoRs- A teacher Of a
Sunday school in the interior Of New
York was impressing upon the schol-
ars lesson in connection with the
death of one of their number. She
told them that little Amy was now
saint in heaven. Whefenpon ore of
the girls spoke up. and said, aShe will
get plenty of preserves there" AS
tonished to hear her make such
strange statement, the teacher ques<
toned her to ascertain what could
have put the idea III her mind. It was
finally traced to the following question
and answer in the catechism:
Question: why ought the Saints
to love God?"
Answer-"Because He makes, pre-.
serves and keeps them"

PROFESSOR Z. G. Taylor gave enter
tainments in the Masonic Hall in this
city on Friday and Saturday evenings
of last week. His fcats of magic are
far ahead Of any that have ever before
been exhibited in this section. The
pigeon trick, which was performed on
the first evening, was one of the best
exhibitions of deception we have ever
witnessed. The two pigeons were
passed to the audience for examination,
and all those who handled them pro-
nounced them genuine pigeons. The
Professor then, in plain view of all,
took one in each hand, placed them to-
gether and turning his hands few
times, made them appear to be rubbed
together, and one, which he held in his
hand, was all that could be found about
him. but the other was found in glass
jar that had previously been handed TO
Willie Kingsley. The aerial suspen
sion was about the same as that ex.
hibited by the Lewis Bros. throughout
the Basin about year ago. On the
second evening, he performed feats
that were as astonishing as those ex-
hibited on the first evening. The
watch and handkerchief trick, gun
trick, where q boy from the audience
loads a musket, the audience places
three bullets in it, and then it is fired
and the Professors head, and he let's
the bullets fall from his mouth; spon.
taneous growth of flowers; and many
others equally interesting, are each
worth the price of admission. His
performances with the automatons,
with which he closes each entertain
ment ale laughable. AS we went to
press last evening, another entertain
ment, with an entire change Of pro
gramme, was being given. He will

AT the Hamburg meeting of the German

AT the Hamburg meeting of the German
Naturalists Professor Virchow gave an ad-
dress on the present position of anthropology.
In introducing his subject he pointed out that
anthropology, although one of the youngest
of the sciences, already occupies as advanced
position as many of the older branches of
study; and also that the races possessed
OF least ability are also those lowest in the
scale OF culture. Tojudge Of the capacity for
culture from the signs of 1t which exist is
only admissible in the case of people who are
surrounded by great intellectual activity, but
not in the case of entirely isolated people.
Thus the Australian Papuas by no means
stand so low as has hitherto been believed.
On this fact Virchow founds an impor ant
doctrine, which opposes che idea that such
people must necessarily fade away when they
come into contact with civilization. Vir-
chow thinks that the extinction of such races
is rather to be ascribed to the righteousness
OF Europeans and the incapacity of the latter
tn educate the former. There is vet no eyi
dence that uncivilized races must become ex-
tinct, which, indeed, is contradicied by the
history of Europeans themselves. If the civ
ilized people Of the present day be considered
as the product of higher development, we
cannot regard the possibility OF such devel-
opmeut as cause of the extinction of such
people as are now on the SAME platform of
culture which we ourselves once occupied.

MR.. REDPATH, clerk of the Senate COM
mlttee to visit South Carolina, has just re.
turned to Washington. He says that when
he left Columbia the committee had examined
about 250 witnesses, and he has no doubt
that:a majority of the committee will report,
not only that the Hayes and Wheeler electors
were elected on the face of the returns, but
by an actual majority of at least 10000, and
that Chamberlain, although not elected on
the face of the returns, would have had a
majority within thousand of the Presiden-
tial vote If the board of State canvassers had
been allowed time enough to examine all the
affidav;ts and protests which were sent in by
United States officers and republican citizens
from many precincts in various counties. By
the action of the State Supreme Court.
which, he says, every one there understands
has been purchased by the Democrats, the
board OF State canvassers was practically
prevented from prosecuting their work until
only ten hours remained of the ten days
allowed by law for the sitting of the board.
Thus the time was utterly insufficient for a
thorough investigation of all the charges of
fraud and intimidation, and those from only
two counties, Edgefield and Laurens, were
examined, in which the frauds were universal
and undsguised. BY throwing out these
counties Chamberlain, as is known, was
elected.

GOVERNOR STEARN's ADMINISTRATION IN
FboR1DA.-The following facts taken from
the Jacksonville Union, are vouched for and
are moreover substantiated by public report
and documents:
Governor David S. Walker turned over to
Governor Reed in 1868 the sum of S1.50 in
the State treasury. Governor Stearns turns
over to Governor Drew about $145, 200 in cash
ia the treasury Governor Walker turned over
to Governor Reed q public credit on State
bonds equal to fifteen or twenty cents on the
dollar. Governor Stearns turDs over to Cover
nor Drew State credit on bonds at 95. In
1868 scrip could be bought for thirty cents.
Now it is rarely less than eighty. In 1868
there was not enough money in the State treas
ury to buy candles for school houses. Now
there are common schools established in nearly
every county and $50, 900 10 cash on q deposit
in the State treasury TO the credit of the school
fund. The Jacksonville, Pensacola & Mobile
Railroad has never changed hands but to show
that its proceeds were consumed by lawyers
fees or eaten up iu expenses. The State has
run the road since June 1, and with
out paying expenses until November and re-
ports net balance of profit ON hand of S11 900.
This is the record of "thieving carpet-baggers'
and desperate adventures.

How the negroes were intimidated is illus
trated in the Tallahassee Sentinel: 'Police-
men drove the negroes away from the polls ;
taxes paid by them were not credited, and
they were not allowed to vote; repeaters and
white roughs crowded them away from the
polls; they would swear that negroes had
voted who had not; white supervisors re-
jected hundreds of votes in this way; towns
with twenty thousand population had but
one polling place, and this was crowded with
whites, so that negroes were not admitted
until after the polls were closed; at noon on
election day the supervisors of election took a
recess aud destroyed the colored votes cast
up to that time" These and other tactics
were resorted TO by the Democrats who now
demand that the Government shall be en-
trusted to their holy keeping on the ground
that Tiden has popular majority of all the
votes cast.

MARK TwAIN's MELANCHOLY NATURE.-
How erroneous are the conceptions that we
form of some people! Mark Twain 1 have
always tancied to be an amiable, not to say
jovial parsonage. The other day. however,
met Charles Dudley Warner, his fellow-con-
spirator in the "Tbe Gilded Age" who said,
with roar of laughter: Jolly? Mark jolly?
Why, when we were working together this was
what he did: Every morning he dressed him.

his waist, and led me dowl to the bottom of

he dug grave This ghastly laoor completed,

with the greeting of the trsppsts: Brother

We'll, lezzee. Suppose that as Col. Sellers is

we had discussed it would take note'of it,
and looking up find Mark at bis end of the

the matter? How sweet he sobbed in ecsta-
sy, how sweet thus to have foretaste of ones

A PUzzLING circumstance in connection
with the testimony in the Oregon case is very
effectively explained by the aid of collateral
incidents. 1t was shown that the $4,000 sent
by telegraph to Salem was returned to the
New York bankers from whom the draft was
obtained, and this fact, at first blush, would
seem to prove that none of the money was
used after all. But the Oregon Republicans
have theory which completely upsets this
conclusion. 1t is that the funds forwarded
from New York to pay the sexpenses" Of
Cronin and the conspirators were sent to
Oregon by express, but had not reached their
destination on the 9th of December, the day
fixed by law for casting the Electoral vote.
The draft of $4,000 was thereupon tele-
graphed to allay the fears of the distrustful
parties to the scheme, and, of course, when
the express package arrived three or four
days later. the draft was returned by tele-
graph to New York.

A MAINE MAN DEFEATED.-In November,
1871, Jason Weeks of this State started for
Quincy, Illinois. On New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad train, he was on the last
car which on arrival at the old depot at Seven
ty-Seventh street, New York, was detached
and left in the street for few minutes. Mr..
Weeks, after remaining short time in his
seat. went to the door of the car. Three men
stood at the entrance, one of whom pushed
him over tie stove and pulled his hat over his
eyes. While another man held him in that
position, the third robbed him of United States
bonds and other securities worth $4,000.
Weeks sued the company for his loss, and the
jury gave him verdict under the instruction
of the Judge, that if in consequence of want of
reasonable diligence by the company in pro-
tecting passengers the robbery took place, they
were liable for the loss. The General Term
last Friday reversed the judgment, holding that
the company was not liable for the loss of prop
erty not placed in its possession.
