Malone and DanyilIe.

The Alex. Gazette says, ''the assigned
object Of General Mahone's speech in sup
port of Senator Sherman's bloody-shirt res
olution is to prove that the State govern
ment of Virginia does not protect the lives
and liberty of the citizens of that State,
and that therefore the general government
should step in and execute that duty Tor
her. In other words, that as the magls-
trates, Commonwealth attorney, mayor,
grand jury, and judge of Danville have not
prosecuted the parties engaged in the riot
at that place, that duty should be per-
formed by United States officers. 1t is
well known fact that the grand jury OF
Danville, on which were several readjusters
and one negro, did have the case before
them, did invite every body who knew any
thing about the affair to testify, did exam
inc everybody who appeared, and, after a
patient and careful investigation, could not
obtain evidence enough to warrant an IN
dictment; and that SO Important did
they deem the case that they pub
| lished the result of their proceedings. But
suppose this is not so, land that there was
no effort made to discover and punish the
guilty parties. Whose fault was it? Dan
vile was in the hands of the Mahoneites. =
1t had Malone Judge Malone mayor, a
commemorative attorney who was elected
by the Mahoneites, and Malone magistrates,
constables, and policemen, some OF whom
were negroes. The whole machinery fol-
bringing criminals to justice was under the
control of the Mahoneites. No body else
had anything to do with it, and interfer
ence on the part of anybody else would have
been improper. The duty lay solely Will
them, and they should have performed it,
or, making the attempts and failing, beer
able to show to the country that their fail
ure was due to insurmountable physical re
sstance. They know whether or not they
tried to bring the guilty parties to justice
The world knows they have not showi
their failure to be due to resistance. Al
, this is as well known to the General as t.
other people. He should therefore blam
| his followers at Danville for dereliction o
duty, rather than the democrats of tn
place for resistance to the laws. He SHOULD
q also assign less ridiculous reason for hi
speech than the one alluded to-a desire t.
n prove that the State does not protect th
: lives and liberty of her citizens. 1t is tru
O she had some difficulty in doing so unde
!, his sway, but happily that is now thing G
p the past. Mahone's wings have bee
a clipped, and he should have sense enoug
to know that attempts at flights liz ths
condition are ludicrous failures.

Professor Mial states that there are to be
found associated with seams OF coal, and es-
pecialy with beds OF shale even below coal
seams, the flattened impressions OF various
creatures which once had life. There had
been seen shells and other fossils, and the
squeezed impressions OF the bodies Of crus-
taceans or insects. These remains were,
however, extremely fragmentary, and were
as black as the shale in which they were
imbedded. 1t was. therefore, matter OF
considerable difficulty to put them together
in order to find out their original shape
or to what sort Of animal they belonged.
Fossil centipedes. such as might now
be commonly seen in our gardens and fields.
had been discovered in coal measures.
Scorpions, too, had been traced by their
fossil remains, and thus proved to be close
" akin to the scorpion OF our own day.
Cockroaches resembling in all essential fea-
lures those with which most OF us are IA
miliar. had been discovered in considera-
bic numbers, and those OF the present time
formed perhaps one OF the most ancient
types OF animal life now to be found upon
our planet. Then there came the crayfish.
which could be toerably matched nova
days. But there had been animals which
had disappeared from the earth altogether,
without having left behind them any ami
NAL very similar to themselves.

An Alarming Increase OF Agrarian
Crime I'm Ireland.

A London special says there has been
marked increase In the number Of agrarian
crimes and outrages in Ireland within the
past few days, apd people are beginning to
trace connection between this fact and
the dynamite explosions in London Friday
night. The Conservative press and public
men say that this revival Of the policy Of
murder is designed to coerce the House OF
Lords into passing the franchise bill. The
Liberals, on the other hand, refuse to
admit any connection between agrarian
crimes in Ireland and the London explo-
sions. The former, they say, are isolated
cases, nrioins from Ioeel eausos and private
feuds the London outrages, on the con-
trary, are plainly the work Of an organized
band, and are designed for political effect
rather than to satisfy individual grudges.
The Liberals believe the dynamite out
RACES to have been the work OF Irish ex-
tremists, who hope thereby to disgust the
English well-wishers Of Ireland, discredt
the Irish leaders in Parliament by showing
that they cannot control and do not even
know the plans and movements Of their
own countrymen. and thus bring open
warfare between England and Ireland.

Dibdin was no sailor and had never been
at sea. but by living on the water edge he
picked up sea terms, and though his songs
are full Of mistakes and inconsistencies the
sailors never found 1t out, being quite sat
isfied with hawsers. bow-lines, and few
sea phrases here and there. How Is it that
Campbelps great ballads, aye Mariners of
England" and "The Battle Fl the Baltic"
are never sung? / have asked sail
ors, and they never heard them.
There must be something wanting
In them, and, indeed, what should
sailors know about the "meteor flag =?
They would say there is no such flag in
the British navy. Then what is the mean
ing OF the lannon's roar quellng the
deep below? l once asked Campbell,
who said that it was his business to
write and mine to find out his mean
ing. | fancy he alludes to the fact
that continued firing has the effect OF
quieting the surface OF the sea around.
How strange a contrast there is between
Campbelrs recitation and WORDSWORTH
the former in a thin, weak voice, settling
now and then the curIs OF his wig, recting
without power his greatest lyrics; Words
worth, with severe and simple dignity,
giving a tone to his recitation, which has
often after hearing him on hillside walk
thrilled me for days after. He has the
most remarkable power, I'm that way, OF any
man ever heard. II seemed like inspira-
ton, and | could almost imagine that he
spoke bv revelation. Mr.. G. spoke OF
an unpublished poem OF Wordsworth's,
written in preparation for 1.-THE Excur-
sion," on "The formation OF an individual
mind" which his friends declare to be very
tine. II remember" SAID Professor VIII
