Mistakes in Personal Identity.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
The whole history OF criminal trials
is strewn with these mistakes in ident-
ity. There was q celebrated case OF
highway robbery in an advantageous
ty several years ago, inwhich there was
an almost complete chain OF evidence
against the criminal tried, including
his full Identification by his victim,
who was robbed by him in broad day
light. Yet the trial resulted in his &C
quittal The weak point in the case
was that the person robbed a most
astimable and conscientious man-had
before identified another party as the
robber. He was more sure, he
said, in the latter case, but
his previous mistake proved
fatal to his testimony. In the cele-
brated case OF DR.. Parkman, a num-
Der OF Witnesses went upon the stand
and swore that they saw DR.. Parkman
in the street after it was proved that
he must have been murdered by DR..
Webster, ii murdered at all by him.
Vet the Jury convicted Dr.. Webster,
having no faith in those Witnesses.
Dir. Parkman was one OF the most pc
culiar men IN appearance III Boston,
especially when walking in the street.
The. supposition was that these wit
nessess were either mistaken as to the
time or hat they took another per-
son for DR.. Parkman. The latter was
more probable, as there a a man III
the city who resembled him. These
are only specimens OF a long list OF
similar mistakes which might be in
Stanced.

The AbOrigines Of China.

The southern portion of the present
domain of China, comprising nearly
one third of the whole, is a compara-
lively recent addition to the empire,
having come under the jurisdiction Of
the ''Son of Heaven" only 1000 years
ago. The original inhabitants of this
broad territory were easily subjugated.
Portions of them were attached to their
conquerors as vassals or slaves, and
gradually, by intermarriage and the
adoption of the customs of the Chi
nese, lost their identity and were abb
sorbed by the more powerful race
Traces of this original element are
still to be foulyi in many localities, es-
pecially among the mountains, and
may be seen in peculiarities of speech.
customs. and physiognomy. The boat
people, everywhere regarded as an in
feriOr race, and numbering in the city
of Canton alone , 0,000 souls, are sup
posed TO be the descendants OF this in
digenOus race. In the mountain range
which forms the northern border of the
three southern provinces. aud is a con-
tinuation of the great Himalayan
range, are over 100 tribes of these alb.
original people, who have constantly
maintained their independence against
Chinese aggressiOns. Comparatively
little is known of them, but from the
information derived from travellers,
they seem, with but few exceptions, to
be all Of one race, and to be nearly
allied to the Shans and karens of Bur-
NAH, the Laos tribes. and those of the
interior regions of Cambodia and Co
chin China. The sublime self-conceit
of the Chinese, and their indifference
to everything outside of themselves, is
strikingly seen in the fact that in all
the centuries during which they have
lived in constant contact with these
various tribes they have learned but
little that is reliable concerning their
customs, habits of life, traditions, lam
guage or government. A few individ-
uals have become interested, and have
left brief accounts and some rude
sketches, which are all the sources
of information from the Chinese side
that are available.-C b. Henry, in
Washington Republican.

Captain F. NJ. Duffey, a newspaper
man, well-known in Tennessee, was
for time editor of the Franklin (Ky.)
Patriot. One evening, shortly after he
began work on the Patriot, the fore
man went into the editorial room and
said:
Captain, left some proofs there
on your desk. l wish you would read
them tonight for 1 have to makeup
early in the morning"
Il have an engagement to take
young lady to moonlight picnic to-
night" the captain ruefully replied.
Can't help that, We must have the
proofs. 1t won't take you long"
The captain broke his engagement
and went to work. There were only
three columns of long primer, but mis-
taking the advance slips of a stereo-
typed story to be the proof sheets re-
ferred to, he devoted himself to them,
a cheerless task, indeed, for they told
all about Rachael, the Miser's Daugh-
ter
Early the next morning when the
foreman reached the office and saw
the mistake. he promptly exploded.
The captain had read thirty-six col
umns and had found 4 turned comma.
On his desk, the following note was
found:
Have worked all night on these
Id proofs and have found one error.

Uncle Esek's Wisdom.

1t is not power, but the balance of
power, that wins.
The best man living cannot give an
undoubted bond for his good behavior
thirty days from date.
Civility is the lowest price we pay
for things, and repentance the highest.
All knowledge begins in doubt, and
much of it ends there.
If mankind had capacity equal to its
malice, We should have no use for the
devil.
My friend, if you want to make peO-
pie think as you do, let them have their
own way; nothing else will tire them
out so soon.
Hypocrisy and cunning travel to-
gether, and they can't get very far
separately.
The hardest man to shake from the
ladder is the one who mounts q rung ut
time.
Men often climb half way up the lad
der and stay there; but it is seldom
they fall half way down and stop short
of the bottom.
Nature can make absolute laws, but
she can't break the least of them.
Familiarity is not friendship; puppies
end all their frolics in a quarrel.
The fox carries the bad news. while
the turtle crawlS with the good.
Fame follows us to the grave,
scratches hasty epitaph on our Tomb
stone, and then hurries away for the
next man.
There is no satire in truth, and vet
man can't tell the whole truth without
being highly satirical.

Fools will bite on anything, like Il
frog in puddle. You can catch them
and throw them back again as soon rs
you please.
Aim high, young man; then attrac-
ton of gravitation, if nothing else, may
get yOnr ball into the bulls-eye.
Every one expects to be remembered
after they are dead, and vet not

son why.
The poetry of youth is generally the
avarice of old age.
Mature abhOrs vacuum;" there

The man who never takes a chance is
beaten just as often as anyone else.
Very precise people have but few
brains. That is what makes them so
precise.
Revenge makes hornet respectable,
but it is dastardly in man.
You can't be familiar without losing
certain amount of respect for your
self, and for the other man too.
The great misfortune with most of
us is, we are constantly looking ahead
for our experience, instead of looking
behind.

We have received a copy of the
New Orleans Euening Chronicle, in
which appears a map and letter by
Capt. John Cowdan, relative to the
improvement of the Mississippi Riv-
or. It is proposed to diminish the
volume Of water in the river by af-
fording a number OF outlets to the
waters Of the Mississippi and further
lessen the supply by diverting the
waters Of the Red from their present
channel to tue Gulf By a more di-
rect route via the Vermilion Or
Tcche. There is no doubt but that
in past ages a large portion of the
waters Of the Red flowed seward by
these channels az the deposits along
the banks et both Of these streams
bear evidence. Should this project
ever be carried into effect Ahbe9ilIc
would become a seaport town of no
mean pretentions, being the shipping
point for Shreveport aud the rich
Of the Red. Then We pre-
