The South.

A special from Weldon, N. c., says the
recent election of Town Commissioners was
the occasion of serious riot there between
whites and negroes. Both races had candi-
dates in the field, and great excitement pre-
vailed. About ten o'clock a riot began,
and clubs, knives, and pistols were freely
used. Quite 3 number o persons were shot,
cut, and bruised. One man, a negro, will
die, it is thought, ana the injuries of several
others are regarded as dangerous. A mill
tary company was telegraphed for to Nor
folk, as Indications of a fresh outbreak were
imminent. The presence of Virginia mill
tary on the other side of the river had a
q~uieting effect.
Shortly after seven o'clock, on the morn
ing of May 6, a portable engine standing in
front Of Bohlen, Huse & Co.'s ice house,
foot of Jefferson-street, Memphis, exploded
with terrific force, instantly killing Tom
Hoist, the engineer, and probably fatally
iniuring Jim Kenneday, fireman. The fol-
lowing laborers were also wounded: Bar
ney Burns, leg broken; Tom Steene, arm
broken and scalded; james Zeanone, arm
broken and severely scalded ; Friday Gillin,
colored, who was passing the spot on the
way to his work, was severely scalded. The
engine was used in hosting ice out of a
barge into the ice house, and a fire had been
built under it with little or no waterin The
boiler, which was discovered at the moment
of the explosion. A piece--of boiler was
driven through the wall of Latta's soap fac,

A firm in New York seems unfamiliar with
the London story of the man who offered to
sell real guineas at a t%riie, but could indno
buyers. Geo. P. Rowell & Co., the News
paper Advertising Bureau" propose, for one
hundred { p dollars, to put a ten-line adver-
tisement in some thirty standard weeklies,
and to slide itinto a thousand other weeklies
free. Do they expect people to take the offer?
Any one acquainted with the high rates of
these standard weeklies can see that the
thing is ridiculous. Rowell & Co. must know
very well that acc%eptances of the offer would
be so many items to charge to profit and loss.
We retract our insinuation about their igno-
rance of that London story. They probably
know it too well, and are shrewd enough, by
taking advantage OF thai human trait at
which the story hits, to make a stroke for
fame as men of startling ~liberality, and at
the same time run no risk of pecuniary loss.

Foreign.

Hobart Pasha dined with the Queen at
Windsor Castle yesterday.
The London Times, commenting on the
appearance in United States waters of the
steamship Gimbria, with Russian officers
and men on board, says: "There are good
reasons why we should regard proceedings
of this kind without alarm. The chief one
is that the United States Government,
which has always prided itself on fulfilling
its neutral duties, has been placed under
special obligations in this respect by the
Washington Treaty. By virtue of its rules
we were condemned to pay a fine of three
millions pounds for ~depredations commit
ted by the Alabama and her consorts, and
the United States, by accepting that fine,
have further pledged themselves to observe
on their own part the new rules of the
treaty. 1t was a unwelcome penalty to
us, at the time, but we have the advantage
of additional protection. We may, in fact,
be confident that the United States will act
honorably up to its obligations in this re-
spect, and the Russians will consequently
find it difficult to execute the enterprise
they appear to have planned"

Natural selection.

Investigators of natural science have
demonstrated beyond controversy that
throughout the animal kingdom the " sur
vival of the fttest" is the only law that
vouchsafes thrift and ~perpetuity. Does not
the same principle govern the commercial
prosperity of man? An inferior cannot su.
persede a superior article. Illustrative Of
this principle are the family medicines OF
r. v. Pierce, NJ. D., of Buffalo, N. Y. BY
reason eff superior merit, they have outri-
vailed all other medicines. Their sale in the
United States alone exceeds one million dol.
lars per annum, while the amount exported
foots up to several hundred thousand more.
No business could grow to such gigantic
proportions and rest upon any other basis
than that of merit. 1t is safe to say that NO
medicine or combination Of medicines yet
discovered equals or can compare with DR..

The West.

A large number of laborers on extension
of the Chicago & Alton Railroad, between
Mexico and Marshall, Mo-, struck ON the Sth.
Several hundred of them congregated at
Glasgow, where one of them was killed on
Monday, and another badly wounded. The
Sheriff of Howard County, with a strong
posse of citizens, failed to quell the dis
turbance. The strike by laborers on the
Chicago & Alton Railroad extension seems
to have been for back wages, the men not
having been paid for four weeks. They
also demand a dollar and a half per day, be-
ing an advance of twenty-five cents per day.
About one hundred of them went to the
Office of Mr.. Timothy Monaghan, one of the
Q. ntractors, and notified him of their wants
and asked him what he was willing to do.
Whereupon he drew a revolver and fired a
shot into the crowd, hitting John German
in the temple, infiicting a dangerous
wound. Monaghan gave himself up to the
authorities, and was released by Squire
Mitchell. =

A FORMER resident of Oberlin, Ohio,
who had been away from the town
several years returned on a visit last
week. So many changes had taken
place during his absence that he failed
to recognize the place when the train
pulled up at the station, and had some
misgivings the conductor had made a
mistake in telling him to get off there.
His mind was very quickly set at rest,
though, for just as he stepped out upon
the platform somebody showed a sub
scription paper into his face, and he at
once yelled out to the baggage-smasher
to pitch out his trunk. It seemed like
home to him at once.

is caught with his head under a window,
as in the Pennsylvania case, and held
there till the distant and somnolent po-
liceman is reused and brought to the
scene of action; sometimes he has his
head knocked off on the spot, as in the
s of the well-greaved spinster of
Elgin, who knew how to WELD the
deadly fat-iron; sometimes he is put to
ignominious flight, as in Astoria some
times he is enticed into a rough-and-
tumble scrimmage, side hold, best three
in five, and laid out breathless on the
floor and taken into custody, as recently
by Mrs. Kydd, in this city; sometimes
he is tied neck and heels to a bed-post, IS

dragged supinely around the house and
thrashed against the floor, and kickedof
the front step by the contemptuous
matron, as in one Of the Berkshire towns
last week; and sometimes he is chased
up and down stairs and shot in various
portions of his anatomy, like the chap
in Rochester by Mrs. Hopkins. We may

She then went ON in a rapturous
strain about things Biblical and spir-
itual, completely nonplussing the re-
porter.
She was accompanied by two col
ored men. They talked in an en-
thusiastic manner about her. She
said in her conversation that she be-
lieved in two kinds of baptism. She
spoke of the different modes of sal
walton; how to reach Paradise; how
to be converted from bad man to a
good one, etc. Her sayings were en-
tirely original, and were not spoken
in hesitating voice, but in quick,
keen and forcible manner. As young

ton in the principles she sets forth,
her power partakes strongly of the

She does not even know her letters,
vet she can quote accurately almost
any passage in the Bible.
AT the age of nine months she
could talk, and would frequently tell
her mother what her idea of heaven
was. AS she grew older she would
sit for hours and cxpatiate on the
beauties and glories of the other
world, The old colored folks would
listen to her sayings for hours.
AT the age of three years she began
TO lecture on heaven and its wonders,
or God and His omnipotent power;
She had leetured in many places, and
has created furore in every place
She has vet visited. The prodigy lee
