FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, October IA fire broke
out on Wednesday in the afterhold
of the steamer Wyoming, which ar
rived at Queenstown yesterday from
New York. The flames were extin-
guished in about five hours. Several
bales of cotton were destroyed, and
as far as can be ascertained at pres
ent very little other damage was
done, although her cargo may have
suffered somewhat from the quantity
of water which was poured down the
hold.
The Times, commenting on the
forthcoming Centennial celebration
of the surrender at Yorktown, SAYS
"We have quite as much reason as
the Americans to share in their cen
tenary thanksgiving, since that event
only farced the government to &C
knowledge what everybody knew
that the war they were waging was
homeless.

Alabama-There were light rains

of crop has already been gathered.
Worms have done considerable
damage. About three~fourths of a
crop will be made.
Arkansas-The weather is fine, and

The University Greenhouse.

A few days ago we had the pleasure of
visiting the conservatory on college hill, es-
tablished by Prof. J. NJ. McBryde, the
efficient professor of agriculture in that in
stitution. We had not seen it for several
months, and were agreeably surprised to see
the wonderful improvement that has been
made. 1t is filled to its fullest capacity
with a large and varied collection of the
rarest and choicest plants, which, under the
superior skill and management of Prof
McBryde. are growing in the greatest luxu-
rance. In growing these plants, he CON-
bines the useful with the beautiful While
he has a conservatory that is an ornament
to the hill, he is enabled through it to give
valuable practical lessons to his classes. We
advise our people to go and see for them
selves what is being DONE. There are more
plants in the conservatory than Prof. Nc
| Bryde cares to carry over through the win
! ter and he offers some of them for sale. as
will be seen by an advertisement elsewhere
and we cordially recommend to such of on,
readers as wish to purchase Towering and
ornamental plants to call upon him.

ATHENS, Sept. 80, 1881:

ATHENS, Sept. 30, 1881.
MR. EDITOR: 1 read with much pleasure
in the daily CHRONICLE of the 2oth ints, the
remarks of DR.. Park, in relation to '' the
value of human life, and the enormity of
the crime of murder" as we'll as your ed
ltorlal remarks on the enforcement of
law Such plain practical truths ought to
be more frequently inculcated and enforced
from the pulpit, by the press, and should be
impressed constantly upon the minds of the
young men in the school-rooms and col
leges. 1t is most fearful crime for man
to take the life of his fellow-man-for a
man wilfully, and deliberately. and wickedly
to destroy the proud, living temple of an
immortal soul. Man may kill, but God
Almighty alone can make alive.
Man, possesses within his bosom a spark
of Divinity. He does not perish at death,
like the common herds of earth. He is
born to a nobler heritage-he is made in a
nobler shape.
Erect and tall, Goi-hke erect,
And with native honor clad"
He is endowed with mind. with reasoning
powers, and with moral faculties, which
separate him widely from all other crea-
lures of earth, and which justifies us in the
conclusion that he alone of all the creatures
of earth is destined to immortality He is
"a reasoning, high, immortal thing"
And yet, human life, has become so cheap
in our State and country that our papers
almost daily announce one or more murders,
to say nothing of the atrocious and horri-
BILE murder Of our late President Garfield.
Solon being asked what country was best
governed, replied: "That one where those
| who are not injured by crime are no less
ready to prosecute and punish offenders than
those who are"
Murder ia an offense against the whole
people of the State, and when such ofense
! is committed the whole people in the irnme
/ diate community where it is committed
should rise up and see to it that the
! punishment of the offender is speedy, sure
and certain, and then crime could not exist.
| God has given to man the right to take hu
| man life for the protection and preservation
of organized and civilized society. It is the
| certainty of punishment more than the Sc
| verify that deters the offender from tht
| commission of crime. It is q melancholy
| fact that our criminal law is not executed
Our criminal system is almost dead sys
, tenn, and hence we see and hear of so many
disgraceful mobs and unlawful execution
! throughout our State. The people have nt
! confidence that our courts will execute tn
law and punish the offenders, and the.
! therefore take the matter into their owl
hands, and they will continue to do so il
ordinary cases, just so long as our court
fail to properly execute the criminal laws o
! our State. HOAIBRE.
