pletion Of such reorganization.

He can throw his heart diagonally


down to his right side, then across
to his left, and then back to it's
natural place. There seems to be
no sham about his doings, and
physicians who have examined him
declare there is mono, and that his
movement of his heart is actual,
and his power to move it the result
of some internal malformation
which superficial examination does
not disclose. The negro says that
he was once examined by a leading
physician of the North (whose name
he gives, but which we havo for~
gotten) ind that the physician
declared the diaphragm to be
wanting. The negro's strength of
muscle is genuine, for he WAS seen
to bend bar Of steel, half-inch in
diameter, by striking it across his
arm as before described. This
steel was handed to him by O
looker-on, so that there might be
no chance for o trick. His own bar
of iron, which he habitually uses as
walking~stick, is much heavier
than the steel bar-heavy enough,
indeed, to inhict q considerable
blow by simply falling on an ordi-
parry mans arm. The negro-or
Ethiopian as he proudly and per-
sistently calls himself-gives his
name as Ezekiel Thomas, and says he
is something over forty years of age.
The BLIND Mus1o1ANs.-The con-
cert given on Monday night by tho
''Southern Favorites," q concert
troupe composed of blind musicians,
was very creditable performance.
Tho instrumental music is fine, and
the singing very sweet. Miss
Pauline Beaman, the coatralto, has
q voice of unusual sweetness and
power, and she displays excellent
taste in the selection of her pieces.
Miss Hassie White, the alto, has also
good voice, and renders her part
we'll. The conference.-the. Frank
White. tenor. aud Mr.. Salem Or ess-
well, basso~have both good voices,
and sing with much expression.
Tho instrumental performance is
divided as follows Mr.. Cresswell,
first violin Miss White, second
violin; Mr.. White, tenor violin
Miss Beaman, melodeon. The
object of this troupe is to raise
a fund which shall be applied to the
founding of home for the blind,
to be located at some convenient
point in the Southern States. This
home will in fact be an industrial
institute where the blind, having
first been educated at school or
asylum, may utilize their learning in
making livelihood. The work will
be such rs is taught in the asylums
making brooks, baskets, mats and
similar articles. The object is ip-
deed worthy one, and we trust
the troupe will meet with encourage
ment and success wherever they 90.
From BEAR CREEK..-Haying an
occasion to pass through the Bear
Greek section. I thought I would
take down q dot or so. T was
struck with the general intelligence
of the masses. There ore many
go-ahead men in that section.
They keep thoroughly posted on
political affairs. All of the leading
Journals of the day can be found
in many of their houses. The
stigma that has been cast upon

law is not just, as I verify believe
that if it could come before the
voters of that township, q large

The BANK OF FAInF1E1D.-We clip
the following item from the report
of the proceedings of the United
States Court, published III tho Nssos
and Courier
The cases of Harvey Terry against
the Planters Bank of Fairfield and
the Bank Of Chester came up for
hearing upon a motion to amend the
bills. After argument by Mr.. Terry
for complainant. and the Hon. A. G..
Magrath for defendants in the for
mer case aad Messrs. MeCrady &
Son in the latter, the motions were
overruled and the bills dismissed
with costs, in accordance with the
decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States in the case o1
Harvey Terry against William God
frey.Hand others, where it was held
that the staYlte of limitations ap
piled as q bar to the proceedings.
From this it will he seen that the
aithe and active 6nancier, Mr.. Harvey
Terry, has received from the court
another stunning blow, from which
we sincerely hope he may neve.
recover. For in that event the
stockholders whom he has so per-
sistently annoyed for several years
past will enjoy permanent repose.
Wonder if Harvey wouldn't like to
sell a few of those bills he bought

handsome wallspapering.

and which for reasons best known to
himself he refused to publish.
] would respectfully request that,
even at this late day, you will accord
me the hearing he denied.

in finishing the work. Bat now
with no such provision, he must of
necessity finish it himself.
With my duties as Clerk of this
Court upon me, and the assurance
that the House Journal would not
be printed, had not transcribed all
the minutes in the journal when the
public printer asked for copy, but
furnished him all completed work,
and as | said before, have kept him
supplied with copy faster than he
wanted it ever since.
Now Mr.. Editor few more words
and am done. | have always be-
lievea that the public press never
condemned a person without hear
ing, and ! was greatly surprised to
see that you had passed judgement
on me, in your editorial, without ac
cording me that privilege. To sum
up in conclusion. lst. 1t was de.
termined long ago, that the House
Journal was not to be printed. I'd,
1t could have been printed before
the Council Journal, had Mr.. Score.
tary OwiDgs SO desired. Sd, 1t was
not fnal y determined to print the
same until in July last, and since
that time the public printer has been
constantly engaged on it, and Mr..
Owings knows it. 4th, the public
printer commenced work on the
House Journal as soon as the Council
Journal was completed, and could not
have done SO sooner under the old
arrangement. This Mr.. Owings
knows. 9th, that the responsibility
of its not being printed attached to
me is false, and Mr.. Owings knew
that also when he cast it upon me.
The above is plain statement Of
facts, and |, having nothing further
to say in the matter, am,

New CABLE.-Capitallsts are as
cussinr the feasibility of an import
ant enterprise, not less than that OF
lavinr telegraph cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu, and thence
10 China and Japan. Such men as
Walter NJ. Gibson OF Honolulu
member Of the Hawaiian Parliament,
Cvrus w. Field, of New York,
Brewer & Co., of Boston, besides
several of the prominent capitalists
Of San Francisco, are said to be IN
,erested in this movement, ana its
success is thereby assured. When
done. it will be the last link in the
chain of electric wire encircling our
globe. 1t is viewed in the light oi
a commercial necessity, and hence
will receive encouragement and as
sistance from all quarters. 1t is ar
gued, and quite reasonably too' that
when direct cable communication 10
Honolulu, China and Japan is once
established, Honolulu will become
\ rendezvous for the vast fleets OF
merchant vessels trading between
the American continent and the old
world. The vessels of all nations,
while on duty in the Pacidc ocean,
could make Honolulu their head
quarters; disasters, shipping orders
engagements, &C., could be heard
and received often, saving valuable
time and much money. All things
considered, the above project Is one
which demands candid attention and
prompt action.
