Here is the Chester Valley Clarion's
account of the colored convention held re-
Gently held IN this city; "The colorod
voters of the Goth congressional district
held convention in Cairo on Thursday the
9th inst, to select delegates to the Nation
al convention Of colored voters, to be held
in Louisville, Ky, on the Gath inst. There
was full representation and the proceed.
ings were harmonious. Eight delegates
were selected The convention endorsed
Republican principles, but denounced
'bosssm.' They claim $500 negro voters
in this district, but complaint that they
have no share in Federal appointments.
They demand the removal of Gen. Pavey,
the internal revenue collector OF this dis
tTIct, Of Mr. Murphy, postmaster OF Cairo,
and OF Mr. Fisher, collector of the port OF
Cairo, because they have given no subordi-
nate places to coored voters. They CLAIM
that with 10000 voters in the state, they
have never been given delegate to a Ma
tjonal convention, nor place on state
ticket They further complain that with
100000 population in the nation, they
have never been given place in the presi.
dents cabinet. They recommend that the
National convention at Louisville, and the
State convention, which is to be held at
Springfield next month, take the steps nee.
essary to organize the colored voters OF tie
country into an independent party. These
reso u ions were adopted UNANIMOUSLY
A resolution making the declarations as
above stated was offered at the convention
by member who wore the Scott collar,
but it was defeated. The convention was
bobtOil affair, only eighteen or twenty per-
sons being present. and its declarations
probably would not have had much effect
upon the great Republican machine.

INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE.


In tower in Nuremberg writes trav-
eller in Germany, is room where are pre-.
served a number of very curious instrumental
of torture used in Nuremberg hundreds OF
years ago, before the days of jails and
| penitentiaries. There are tiiumbscrews OF
the most approved patterns, and helmets
for gossiping men and women. A singular.
/ heavy wheel, on one side of which stands
out a large, sharp piece of iron. In tho
| glorious days of old an offender who had to
be punished with the wheel was stripped
naked and firmly bound to plank, face
| downward. The piece of iron ON the wheel
was rolled mp aud down aud across the VIC
TINS back till Justice was satisfied or the
victim was dead. Inasnueh rs the spike
was long enough to get half way through
the mans body, and was always heated red
hot, the victim generally died, aud justice
was entirely satisfied. 1t was not as exped-
tious MS the guillotine, but it was just as
certain. The only man who ever survived
it was adjudged a magician because he sur
yived it, and was promptly beheaded for
being a magician. That settled him. He
didn't bother Nuremberg any more. There
are also displayed switches made of fine
threads of steel, which were laid on the bare
back with great effect. A little of these
things goes great way, but on being told
that in the adjoining tower is the "steel
maiden you get over your qualmishness.
Your party is taken in charge by guide,
who shows you large assortment of horrors
before you come to the chief one, as sort
of preparation. There are stocks of all
kinds gags for tattlers, haudcnffs, anklets
and cradle, the bed of which is filed with
spikes, in which old-time offenders were
faithfully rocked to sleep-a aleep from
which there was no awakening There are
long tables with screw at top aud bottom,
to which men were strapped by the hands
and feet, the screws then turned till the I'M
fortunate man was torn apart. In those
cheerful days, when merchant, baker or
butcher was found selling his goods by false
weight or measure, he was placed in a cage
and carried all through the city, with his
name and trade fastened very conspicuously
III hAtSL Sidbu tuuf, ut
vas taken, cage and all, to the river, and
tucked again aud again, till it was thought
that his lesson was sufficient to prevent
repetition. Perhaps some such form might
be advantageous in these days. Wife
beat0rs in those times were severely punish
ed. They were furnished with close-ftting
helmets, from which heavy weights were
suspended. They were given conspicuous
place in the public square, appropriately
alb lied and placed in stocks, with heavy
weights attached to their arms and feet, and
there they sat the liyelong day, subjected to
she jeers and ridicule of the town. Scolding
wives were put in cages, with gags in their
mouths, and exposed in the public square.
You are shown all kinds of beheading blocks
and gallows upon which noted williams have
gone to their reward, while the walls are
covered from top to bottom with pictures of
the practical operations of the various in.

MARRIAGE IN CHINA.

Find WIG Awaiting Him.

The following is an extract from letter
received by Hartford lady from one of the
returned Chinese students: 81 went home
to see my relations the last of March.
When first reached homo you can imagine
how glad my father and relatives were to
see me looking SO well and robust They
all fiocked around me and asked me many
questions. My little nephew, sent by his
mother, came behind me and pulled my cue
to see if it were real or false. am going to
tell You something which will surprise you
When l first landed in Shanghai my father
wrote to me that while was away a greA!
many of his friends had offered their daugh-
last, without consulting me, selected one for
me from mandarin. You know that it is
custom here for tho parents to contract
marriages without consulting the wishes of
those who are to be united On hearing my
engagement tried to break it off, but with
out success, as the Chinese consider an en-.
gagement of marriage the most sacred con-
tract. If it is once made it can never be
broken. According to the Chinese custom,
the younger brother cannot marry before the
elder one. l have two younger brothers
who have to wait for me to marry before
they can. Therefore I was urged very
strongly by my relatives to marry right
away. did not like to displease my fathes
by opposing his wishes. SO I consented to be
united on the last of April. OF course it ia
not love affair, but shall try to do my
duty. A month after my marriage l came
back here to resume my studies After
studying four months ten of us have passed
the examination as midshipmen, and we nre
now waiting to go on board the training
ship, which has gone to Canton for repairs
The navy yard is situated on the Foochow
River. The place has about 1900 inhabi-
tants, and has one principal street, each end

horseshoe. We sometimes go to the Chi
nose theatre. 1t is very mountainous here,
but is everywhere cultivated, even the top
Of the mountain. We often climb the
mountain and ramble among the rice fields
sometimes we go through village, where
we meet village maidens wearing earrings
measuring four or five inches across.
