A Day with John Brown.
Atlantic Monthly.l

During the day he staid with me in
Lawrence / had my first good opportun-
ity to Judge the old mans character. 1
had see him in his camp, had seen him
In the field, and he was always an
enigma, strange compound of enthusi-
asm and cold methodic stolidity--a vol
cano beneath mountain snow. He
told me of his experiences as q wool mer.
chant and manufacturer in Ohio, and Of
his travels in Europe. | soon discovered
that his tastes ran ia military rather
than commercial channel. He had Wis.,
tied many of the Notifications in Europe,
and criticised them sharply, holding that
the modern system cf warfare did away
with them, and that well-armed, brave
soldier was the best fertilization.
He criticised all the arms then in use,
and showed me fine specimen of repeat
ing rife which had long-range sights,
and, he said would carry eight hundred
yards; but, he added, the way to fight
was to press tn close quarters. He had
two swall pamphlets or circulars one he
had had printed on the armies and mill
tary systems of Europe; the other was
addressed to the soldiers of the armies
Of Tho United States, and was an odd
mixture OF advice as to discipline and
soldierly habits, and wound up by adj
yising them to desert whenever there
was an attempt made to use them against
free government and human liberty.
He looked upon passing political move.
ments as mere prellminaries or adluncts
to more important events in the future.
With him men were nothing, princi-
pies everything. In his ordinary moods
the man seemed 80 rigid, stern and UNI
impossible wh!n first knew him that |
never thought poetic and impusve
nature lay behind that cold exterior.
The whispering Of the wind on the
prairie was full of voices to him, and the
Stars as they shonc ia the armament Of
God seemed to insSiya him. How adj
mirable is the symmetry Of the heavens;
how grand and beautiful, Everything
moves in sublime harmony in the Gov
eminent Of God. Not 10 with us poor
creatures j one star is more brilliant
than Others it is continually shooting in
some erratic way into space" One of the
most interesting things in his converse
ton that night, and ono that marked
hin az tneorist (aHd perhaps to some
extent he might be styled a visionary
was his treatment Of our forms Of social
and POLITICAL life.
He thought society ought TO be organ
lied on less selfish basis for while ma
terial interests gained something by the
dedication of pure gelhshness, ien and
women lost much by it. He said that
all great reforms like Christian religion
were based on broad, generous, self
sacrificing principles. BE condemned
the sale Of land as chattel, and thought
that there were an infinite number OF
wrongs to right before society would be
what it should be; but that in our coun-
try slavery was the "sum Of all villain
les" and its abolition the first essential
work. If the American people did not
take courage and end itspeedily, human
freedom and republican liberty would
s9on be empty names in the United
States

Water in Indian Cars.

When railroads we're begun in India
it was thought that special cars would
have to be provided for members CT diff
ferent castles. But the officials wisely
concluded that high-caste men and low
caste men might be allowed to look out
for themselves, and SO they refused to
make such special provisions. So all
classes travel in the cars, the only dis
tinction being that of first class, second
class and third class, which is purely q
pecuniary one. But the water question
did make trouble, and this is the way
the officials answered it:
At she principal stations the native
passengers are served with water by a
Brahmin, from whom, being of the
highest caste, all persons may take with
out defilement. He goes aloog the train
with his brass vessels; a sudra, or low
caste man, stoops, and in his open handa
placed together and raised to the level
of his mouth, receives the precious
liquid.
The vessel of the Brahmin is not
touched, else he would be defled. a
Brahmin asks water, and is served with
it in the smaller vessels, from which he
drinks, there being no delilement
between Brahmin and Brahmin.

A steamer Stopped by Jelly Fish.


A correspondent OF the Western Morn.
ing Neus gives an interesting description
of the voyage of the Crocodile. In the
course of his observations, he says:
"On September 2lst the ship crossed
the equator early in the morning. On
the following night most curious cir
cumstance occurred which would hardly
be credited. The ship was stopped by
jelly fish, which, shortly after o'clock,
appeared in myriads as far as the eye
could reach, and the thousands of lu-
minous bodies floating upon the water
gave it the appearance of a scene from
fairyland. Some of the fish got into
the strainers OF the condensers and
blocked the holes SO that the water
could not enter, and the result was that
the vacuum went down and then dis
appeared entirely. The condensers af-
terward became so heated that we had
TO stop steaming altogether, take Off the
strainers and clear them. Three at
tempts were made to steam, and each
failed from the same cause. In this
way we were delayed no less than five
hours; but at daybreak the fish sank,
and the ship was able to proceed. The
same thing occurred again on the fol-
lowing night, the ship being delayed
four hours"

The Friday Superstition.


When Professor Proctor alleged that
the superstitions of the ill-luck of Fri
day about undertakings dates back four
or five thousand years, in his lecture on
the religion of astronomy a short time
ago, without expressing any positive
opinion of our own upon the subject we
cited in opposition to his that of Robert
Southey, who asserted that it is Chris
tan superstition and arises from the
crucifixion, Then, abiding to the
fact that Columbus sailed on Friday to
discovers New World are some evil

time or Il ,balliy known at the Spanish
court, we Jkul whether Professor Proc

fore Columbus of any eminent man who
was dominated by it like Lord Byron
and Prince Bismarck in our own
century, Moritz Busch, in his memoirs
Of Bismarck, repeatedly alludes to his
hero's suDerstitiOns, and examples Of
Byron's are abundantly recorded by his
contemporaries. Southey says that I" if
anything of the slightest importance
in which Lord Byron was concerned
was commenced on Friday he was scri-
ously Disconnected" Now scholar in
Tennessee, misconstruing the limit of
our inquiry of Professor Proctor, sends
us a passage from Chaucer in proof that

erature before the time of Columbus as
partaking of the Inconsistency ascribed
to its tutelar goddess in classic ages.

of the day to Venus is still preserved.

when the Friday superstition first began
to dominate the lives of clear-headed
and usually sceptical men of classes of

the Tennessee scholar will communicate

A Sad Scene.

A man falls from q scaffOld. The re.

"My life voyage is nearly ended"

Value Of Steam Power.

The aggregate steam power in use in
the world is at present 100000 horse
power employed in stationary engines,
and 100000 horse power in locomo-
tive engines.
This force is maintained without the
consumption of animal food, except by
the miners who dig the Goals, and the
force maintained in their muscles is to
the force generated by the production
of their labor about one to 1850.
This steam power is equal to the work :
ing force Of 25,00O, 900 horses, and one
horse consumes three times as much
food as one man. The steam power,
therefore, is equivalent to the saving Of
food for 75,00O,0O0'Of human beings,

PhOtOgraphing Indians.

An Indian intertribal fair was held,
not long since, in the Indian Territory,
in order to show some of the results of
ciyilizing the Savages. A number Of
tribes attended, and displayed articles
of home manufacture, such as needle.
work, embroidery, lace-work and
blanckets. Many of the Indians had
their photographs taken, and showed y
childish delight in looking at their faces.
Others, however, could not be persuaded
to 90 near the camera.
Yellow Bear, of the Arapahoes, was
the first to pass through the ordeal OF
sitting. He suffered himself to be pro-
perly seated, and the camera brought to
bear upon him for the first time.
But when the prepared plate was
placed in the box, and the cloth lifted,
he leaped to his feet with bound, and
attempted to leave the tent.
All attempts toreason with him failed
At last, photograph OF Cheyenne,
taken some years ago, was shown him.
He looked at it a moment, then went
quietly back to his chair, and sat there
like a statute while his negative was
taken.
He explained that no Cheyenne war
rior was q greater brave than he.
The gigantic Osages, on the other
hand, will not approach the tent. They
say the camera robs them Of their good
spirits.
The two most important events in the
life of man are when he examines his
upper lip and sees the hair coming,
and when he examines the top Of hir
head and sees the hair going.

A Peculiar Attempt Mt Suicide.

A special TO the Rochester Democrat
Gays: An attempt at suicide at Hobart
College, Geneva, was made Saturday
night, the circumstances concerning
which were not made public until Non
day morning. During Saturday even
ing strong smell of escaping gas per-
vaded the apartments of the students
in one of the buildings at Hobart Col
lege; at last the smell became so unbear-
able that an investigation was made,
and upon opening the door of room
occupied by young man named Hutch
insOn the gas poured out SO as to almost
sufIocate the Investigators. Upon enter
ing the gas was found turned on and
the burn-r or tip broken of, and upon
the floor lay the occupant, Hutchinson,
in an unconscious state. He was re-
moved at once and medical aid sum-
moned. Upon examination it was
found that the inside of his mouth and
throat were badly burned. Everything
was done to make him comfortable, but
iie was in very dangerous condition.
1t is feared that the burning will affect
his taste and speech. There is no doubt

liarly for some time past, and many
have doubted his sanity and spoken of
it. The theory is that he got upon the
table, placed his mouth over the lighted
gas-iet, clinched his teeth upon the tip,
biting it of, and, becoming unconscious
from the effects of the gas, fell to the
floor. Mr.. Hutchinson is young man,
anout twenty-one years Of age, a resi-
dent of Chicago, and member of the
