ALARM IN SCOTLAND.

Abundant and obvious are the evidences
that the rough earth is entitled to be called
our mother; her offspring, in her different local
tiles, denote by their characteristics the place
where they we're born. The varieties of her
progeny correspond with varieties of cline
and characteristics of one age, whatever CEN
turtles intervene, distinguish all. Continents
perpetuate species peculiar to themselves, and
countries of each reproduce them with better
defined varieties and unmistakable character
i'tics, so that not only mother earth, but
mother country, as a badge of origin and race,
accompanies us as language does, into what
ever unaccustomed dominions our steps tend.
English, Irish, Scotch what little piece
of earth the whole ,hree comprehend, yet how
deeply grooved are the ways through which
the characteristics of each move, and how
wholly unlike is each to the others. The moth

strong lines and marks of difference. The
ebony African, the swarthy Asiatic, and the
fair European, do not differ more in com.
plexion than these three in mental and per.
sonal characteristics. Each has filled the
world with the renown OF gifted sons in letters,
art, philosophy and craftsmanship; and, yet.

as supremacy, as among African tribes.

1t is strange that Republican France

Socialists as Russia has with NihiIists
and more than England has with Invin-

Guilty, and the outbreak is not regarded
as formidable menace against the reprl-

the danger of having a large proportion
of illiterate population. No republic can
be safe while a large part of its people

even more reason tLan the United States

THE WONDROUS VIRGINS.

Notwithstanding the signal failure OF
the recent prophecy OF the Ottawa
weather seer, yet there are very proba-
bly, enough credulous people sufficiently
satisfied with the way his prediction was
fulfilled to enable him to sell SC eral
thousand almanacs, and make q small
fortune. as Vennor did.
1t will be remembered that Virgins
original prophecy assumed to foretell
that the storm would be felt on the 9th
instant, in the North Pacific: that on
the 10th, it would strike the entire At
lantic Coast from the Southeast, sub
merging all the coast lands, and making
great havoc with our shipping; that on
the 18th, having reached the Rocky
Mountains and been bounced back by
them, it would return eastward to Hall
fax tearing everything to tatters in its
course.
1t is really astonishing how many per-
sons secretly believed in Virgins, and
no amount of experience, much less of
demonstration of the utter quackery Of
such prophecies, will prevent large
number of people from making fools of
themselves periodically. It is to be
hoped, however, that few more such
conspicuous failures as he has just made
will open Tie eyes of the credulous to the
utter absurdity Of putting faith in such
nonsense,

THE NEW POSTAL NOTES.

stamps were meant for. and it is not al

AN INFAMOUS VERDICT.

The jury in the case of Nicholas l..
Duke for the shooting Of Cap. Adam c.
Mutt at Uniontown, Fayette county, Pa.
on Wednesday night came into court
with verdict of acqultal. This verdict
is one of the most infamous ever rendered
by jury and the only ground upon which
it can be accounted for is on the hypothesis
that Dukes money did it. Public sen
timent in UnioDtown and vicinity is
stongly hostile to Duke, and the verdict
has aroused universal Indignation
throughout that community. The result
of this case comes home directly and
with force to every father of a family.
If ther2 is no penalty attached to such
crimes as that of Duke, the barrier pro-
tecting innocence and virtue in the family
circle is broken down, and it may be in
vaded at will by the heartless libertine
and it's protector murdered when it suits
him best. This ficnd in human shape
invaded the family circle Of Capt. Mutt,
