Il Z. .
In the days Of sectional persecution of
the South. one of the greatest crimes at
,tenpted BY the Republican party, was
the passage.of the Force Bill. It was
as mereiless and cruel as the repressive
smeasnres Of the Duke Of Alya in the
Low Countries, IN thesixteenth century;
but ;t was inspired by a diabolical cum
ming that was born Of long practice. 1t
would have crushed out in the Southern
States every semblance Of tree action.
and would have subjected us to the abso-
aute viii of the President Of the United
States rs completely as the satrapy of
an Eastern monarch is under his despot-
&c power. :
let us lock at 't for a moment. In the
Forty-second Congress: the Republicans
had suffered in representation. In the
Senate, there were 81 Republicans and
al Democrats: in TIE House lsS Repub-
licans and l03 Democrats. Mr.. Blaine
was Speaker. To revive the waning po-
slitical power Of the Republicans in the
ssoulll, and TO save the hateful carpetbag
government here, which had bnrdened
us with debts and: dishonor. an Act was
introduced which. established policy of
constructive treason more infamous than
that tra.npled III the dust by tile Com
mons Of England, and held up in HAL
lamp TO the undying hatred Of all liber-
ty-loying people. 1t not only allowed
suit In the United States Courts against
any person who should deprive any
one of the rights Off citizen under the
Fourteenth Amendment, and made it 4
penal offence to conspire to take away
any such rights, but it also provided that
inability, neglect or refusal Of any State
Government to suppress such conspira-
cies. or to call upon tile President for aid
to do so, should he deemed a denial by
such State ,ofequal protection of the
Saws Of its citizens. 1t further declared
such conspiracles rebellion against the
Government of the United States, and
authorized the President, when, IN his
o,on Judgment, the public safety required
it, to suspend the writ Of Habeas Corpus
in any district, aud suppress any such
insu:rection by the army aud NAVY.
This suspension of the Writ of Uabeas
Calspsts, at the simple will OF the Ires;-
don't, was absoiutism in full.
This outrageous act of tyranny was
just about to lie imposed upon The peo-
s;ple oftle South by the Radical party IN
Congress. Tlle Democrats in an app,r-

Daniel Conroy, of Erie, Pa, who be.
came insane over the fifteen puzzle two
years ago and was committed to the asy-
lum, was released on his supposed recov-
cry. On Thursday,while working on the
tower of the new cathedral, 1875 feet from
the ground, Conroy became FURIOUS over
trivial matter, and after threatening to
throw fellow workman down from the
toWer. proceeded to put his threat into
execution. A terrible struggle ensued,
and the men rolled and tumbled about on
the narrow scaffold until Conroy was
ovcrpowered by the other workmen who
arrived just in time to prevent both from
being dashed to pieces at the base Of
the dizzy height.

troops that made sortie at Tonquin last
month. Tie command was ambushed,
surrounded and cut to pieces by the
Black Flags. During the retreat. Riviere
was knocked over by a bullet. The REM
nant of his men refused to leave him,
and stopped to fight about his PROSTATE
body. Joaquin, Captain of Marines,
stood beside Rlvlere, who called to him
that the men would all be killed If they
attempted to carry him off. "There is
only one thing to do Jacquin," said Riv-
iere, elbow my brains ont. and let the

Tom Hamilton, the black Democrat of
Beaufort, whose dcsertion Of the Radical
Legislature in 1876 helped the Democrats
so much. has written very strong letter
to the News and Courier regarding the
relations of the colored man to the Re-
publican party. He urges that even if
the negro owed debt to the Republicans
he has fully paid it by twenty years of
devoted service, and directs attention TO
the fact that the only two colored men
in the state holding important offices are

kept in his place by Senator Hampton.

very thing he is denounced for doing and
went over to Hampton in '76. He di-
rects attention to the improved education-
al facilities given to the colored people by
the Democrats and the robbery Of the
school funds by the Republicans, and
says the only white men who attended

The Home OF the Horse.

There can be no doubt that the orr.

of propagation be sought in those

nations of riders of which we have
historic Knowledge, the Mongolians
and the Turks, whose existence even ut
this day is az it were combined with
that of the horse. From these regions
the horse spread in all directions,
especially into the steppes of Southern
and Southeastern Russia and Thrace,
until it finally found entrance into the
other parts of Europe, but not until
after the immigration of the people.
This assumption is, at least strongly
favored by the fact that the further a

the horse was used for purposes Of war

must originally have depended on its

the name, which is repeated in all the

matter. II was discovered that these
queer leaves are really insects that
hive upon the trees, and are of the
same color rs the foliage. They have
very thin, flat bodies, and their wings
are like large leaves. When anything
disturhs them-like breeze, for in
stance-they fold their legs away uu-
der their bodies, and then the leaf. Like
shape, with stem and all, is complete.
Not only are they of a bright green
in summer, like the foliage of the trees
at that time, but they actually change
when the leaves do to the dull brown
produced by frost. Another popularity
Of these leaf insects, is that, although
they have a generous supply of wings,
they seldom use them, but when they
have been shaken to the ground, after
lying there for few minutes ~ if they
were really leaves, they crawl toward
the tree, and ascend the trunk without
seeming to know that they have the
power Of getting back TO their quarters
IN n much quicker and easier way.

Some Crawling Leaves.

When Australia was first discovered
by the English, as many strange sto-
ries were told about the wonderful
things to be found there as we used to
hear IN the early days of California.
Among other things it was said that
the leaves OF q certain tree had habit
OF descending from their proper place
and walking along the ground.
A party of English saiors had left
their ship to roam along tue coast and
see what they could see." They were
resting under tree, lying on their
backs, probably, and naturally gazing
upward, when sudden breeze shook
down number of leaves which turned
somersaHlts in the air, after the man
ner OF leaves generally, and then float
ed to the ground. The sailors were
surprised at this shower, because it
was not the fall of the year, but mid
summer, and these falling leaves look
ed fresh and green. It was strange to
see leaves deserving the tree without
any sort of reason; but this was moth.
ing TO what followed.
After a short rest these able-bodied
leaves began craving along on the
arourd toward the trunk Of he tree
from which they came, and the amazed
sailors started up in terror. They
probably knew from experience that
people who came in contact with the
ground may also e-pect to come in
contact with variou, crawling insects,
but walking leaves we're something al
together out Of the common way; and
they took to their heels at once, and
lost no time ~ getting on board the
vessel. The land was certainly be-
Wiiched, and one of the men said, in
relating their adventure, that he ex-
pected every minute TO sec the trees
step out anu dance a regular jig.
Fortunately this singular pbenome-
non has been fully explained by later
travellers who we're not too nue.

How TO Select a Horse.

DR.. Z. A. A. Grange lectured before
the Agricultural department OF the
Minnesota State University "How to
select Horse"
a live horse was induced, after much
persuasion, to enter the lecture room,
and the lecturer illustrated the various
points to be noticed in the purchase of
a horse.
In examining horses for soundness,
said he, it is necessary to proceed in
systematic manner. His own method
was to begin upon the left side of the
animal, and usually with the front, at
the inside Of the rose pink color, which
is the healthy condition. If the ami
NAL is suffering from any catarrhal af-
lection you VIII observe that the nos
tril IS inhamed. Then you examine
the red membranes to see if it IL free

doubt whether the animal is suffering
from CHAMBERS, by holding a lighted
candle you can see 8 considerable dis
lance up. Then, after examining this
thoroughly, open the mouth and look
at the tongue, to see il it is there and
in perfec. condition. Then pass the
hand down on the lower jaw and ex-
anime it to see that there are no tn
mors in the back part-tumors there
indicate CHAMBERS and a disease called
distemper. which is quite common
amongst horses.
