When Senator Sherman shall have

shooting of four colored men at Dan

think of the brutal butchery of whole
family of colored people at Ayondale,

The riot at Danville grew out of in
tense excitement fomented by Republic
an Senators and the Stalwart Administra-
ton. 1t was q most lamentable affair,
but it was not a cold-blooded, prcmed-
itated. deliberate, cruel killing of men.
The murder of Beverly Taylor and
his wife and adopted daughter at Avon

desire of medical college for custom

ice of some of Senator Sherman's con-

swept out of life on wave OF furious

The breeding grounds or .'rookeries""
of the penguins are generally situated
in the shelter of some land-locked bay
or break in the line of steep and rugged
cliffs; and often occupy several acres,
which are laid out, levelled, and divided
into squares with intervening streets,
the whole as if done at the dictation OF
surveyor. Along these streets the
penguins gravely waddle on their way
to and from the water, presenting the
appearance of squads of awkward re-
crrits, or a still more striking likeness,
as has been often remarked, to troops
of little children toddling along in their
white pinafores. They build no nests,
but lay single egg in some selected
spot, the incubation being equally
shared by male and female. Although
so closely allied to the feathered kind,
they are unable to fly, nature having
only furnished them with short stumpy
apologies for wings, resembling the
| flippers of turtle, by means of which
they are enabled to obtain prodigious
speed, when diving under water in pur.
suit of Ash for food. Penguins, as well
as seals, are doubly provided against
the cold of the high ATTITUDES which
they frequent, by layer of fat imme.
diately inside the skin, which is also the
depository of the oil extracted by the
fishermen. In landing to attack and
slaughter them in their rookeries with
clubs and boat-stretchers, stealthy pre-
cautions are quite unnecessary, the
poor dumb creatures looking on in 8
state of Indifferent stupidity, without
making any attempt to escape, while
their companions are being knocked OF
the head all around them. Seal hunt
ing, or fishing as it is usually termed
on the contrary, requires great skill
and patience. Seals are gregarIous a.
well as polygamous, and when the!
forsake the open seas for their breeding
places on shore, are very shy of intru
sion, and take great care to insure thu
safety Of their retirement, particular,
in localities which have been preyiousl,
visited by human beings. They inva
riably post sentinels on every command
ing point, so that it is only by patien
waiting and under cover Of night tn
hunters are enabled to elude their vigi
lance and surprise them Chamber
