MISCELLANEOUS.

THE household of Thomas Walton, of
Grant Precinct, Lancaster County, Neb. i,
has been terribly afflicted of late, five mem
bers OF the family having died in as many
weeks, from diphtheria. The youngest
daughter was first attacked, following which
in rapid succession four other members Of
the household were taken down, the last one
TO fall victim to the grim messenger being
an interesting daughter, who passed away
on the 10th. Another child is i'll with the
same malady, and will probably die. Strange
to say, the fatal disease has attacked no 9TH
er family in the precinct, and is not preva-
lent anywhere else in the county.
A TORNADO passed over the northern
portion Of Lexington, Ky, on the 2Oth, un-
roofing many houses and demolishing the

great destruction to farm property in the
track OF the storm.
AT a meeting of the Cabinet in Wash
ington on the 21st, the findings of the court
martial declaring Whitaker to have been
guilty OF self-mutilation were set aside, and
the recommendation OF bhe Academic Board
at West Point that he be dismissed for being
deficient in his studies was coneurred in, so
that w h1ttaker IS no longer an oitlCer in the
army. Considerable dissatisfaction is man
ifested in army circles relative to this dis
posal OF the case, as the cadets at the Mill
tary Academy are still left to bear the bur-
den OF having cut the ears OF their classmate,
and ne is only dismissed for deficiency in
study.
NINE lives were lost and $50 houses
destroyed by fire in Emod, Hungary, the

The chairman then called upon the orator Of
the day, Mr.. George Stewart, who delivered MI

the blessings Of liberty which all enjoy in this
land, and said We ought to show our gratitude by
meeting together OH such anniversaries thereby
who fought for the independence Of this country
and who so nobly stood by it until it was safe
from al peril and dcpotir rule; He said the fact
that ilS mlIl1nns no OF human beings; made up Of
nations and all enjoying the same liberty proves
that a republican form Of government is Il decided
success, and that philosophers and statesmen like
acknowledge the fact. This country stands fore
most among the nations Of the earth. Its power
for good is being felt by all nations, which know
that its watchworti is Liberty, Equality Frater-

and the vile assassin who destroyed 50 noble a

few dishonorablc miscrcants in this country, vet
he believed that the great majority of the people

him who led the people of old in the right wa! !:
that God still reigns and guides while man is but

Which Lie at the Bottoms of our Noun
tain Rivers.
From q gentleman who was in the
city yesterday the Constitution
learns of the success which has at
tended the experiments with the
vacuum dredging boat which was
bull. for work on the Chestatee riv
err. 1t will De remember that this
boat was built for raising the gravel
from the beds Of the rivers aud for
washing the sand and separating the
gold from it. The questions to be
decided we're Could the gold be
found 10 paying quantities in the
sands Of the river beds ! and could
the sand be lifted into the boat by
the vacuum processi The trial of
the boat was made last Saturday on
the Cbestatee river near Martins
ford. The test commenced at Ill
o'clock and lasted for three hours.
The boat raised the sand at from two
to four tons every five minutes
This sand was rapidly washed autos
maticalIy in sluice boxes and the
gold collected in quicksilver. AS
the result of the three hours work
there was secured two hundred dol
lars worth of gold. The expense
was not more than twelve dollars.
The sand was found to be very rich,
and it is said there is enough 10 the
rivers of Georgia to keep fifty boats
busy for fifty years. Much excite
ment, it is said, prevails about Dsh'
lonega on account of the new meth.
cd for obtaining gold. The compa~
ny which is pushing the matter will
begin the construction of number
of other boats at once.

BULLDozING WITNESSES.

The habit INDUCED in by many
lawyers of bulldozing and browbest
ing witnesses is a much abused and
growing evil, and nearly everybody
will agree with US that it is alike dis
creditable both the lawyers who do
SO and to the judges who permit it
To put up a disinterested man to
testify in regard to facts and trans
actions between others, are about
others actions, and while he is un
der oath to endeavor to make him
perjure himself-not TO the end that
Justice may be vindicated, but that
bis damaging evidence may be bros
ken down and the bulidozing lawyer
gain q verdict for bis client,
Another great abuse practiced by
the bulldozipg lawyers and permit
ted by Indifferent: judges, is 10 max
ing witnesses ventllate their private
affairs and disclosing while on the
stand mauy facts irrelevant to the
case On trial and damaging to his
reputation as a citizen. Al the
practice now is, poor devil or q
witness had about as well run for
office as to be called to the stand :
his character and actions will be as
thoroughly ventilated in one case as
the other.
This bnlldozing and browbeating
of Witnesses is all wrong, and in the
name of long suffering witnesses, we
think it should be stopped. There
must be some other and better way
to make men tell what they know,
and tell the ruth, than this disgust
ing brow beating, and judges of
courts should compel the lawyers to
fad it out and practice it, and pro>
tect the witnesses from the disccur
teous treatment and insults that they
are sometimes subjected to. - Gr!ti"

HAsTY JUDGMENT.

Nothing is more unjust than to
Judge man by too short en- acquain
lance and too slight inspection; for
i, often happens tina. 10 the loose and
thoughtless and dissips.ed there is a
secret radical worth, which may
shoot out by proper cultivation; that
the spark of heaven, though dimmed
and INSTRUCTED, is yet not extin,
guished, but may, by the brt ath of
counsel and exhortation, be kindled
into fame. To imagine that every
one who is not completely good is
irrevocably abandoned, is to suppose
that all are capable of the same de,
gree of excellence 1t is, indeed, to
exact from all that perfection which
none can ever attain. And since the
purest virtue is consistent with some
vice, and the virtue of the greatest
number with almost an equal proper
ton of contrary qualities, let none
too hastily conclrde shat all good
ness is Lost, though it may for time
be clouded and overwhelmed, for
most minds are the slaves of oxter
nal circumstances and conform to
any hand that undertakes to mould
them, roll down any torrent of GUS
tom in which they happen to be
caught, or bend to any Importantly
that bears hard against them.
