Mrs Elder, who was with her husband, was choked by one of the assailants, while the others. who had felled her husband with a blow on the head, rified his pockets of all the valuables they contained. She was then left lying on the sidewalk outside beside the unconscious man. A little later two men were arrested and Mrs Elder Identified them as par ties 10 the assault. The third man escaped. Elder and his wife attended theater last night and then wandered down through the Bowery to see the sights.

Italian Immigration.

Eutaw Whig and Observer.
 There is a great deal being said in grants and a move has been made to try and turn the steady stream of Ital- ian immigrants which is coming into New York, southward.
 We much think that the ones who are doing the most writing about it., know little of the Italians and their ways. What Alabama most needs is farmers. men who. are willing to go out into the country away from the cities, and make homes on the thous- ands upon thousands of acres of our
 Will the average Italian, yes by far the great majority of them do that? NoI They are willing togo to city and camp down where there is already to the farm, never. A great many. of them never become citizens nor do they bring their families here. and what. Is They live. wretchedly, spend little for living and what they save, if any, is invariably sent to the old country to buy a home for them when they go back.
 Take the middle West and the great Northwest for instance, that is settled up mostly by immigrants; but what are they? Not one in fifty is an Ital- ian. The people who have made a veritable flower garden of Kansas with millions of money in the bank, in less

 they had to ask for outside help. The Italian farmer Is as scarce as the ne- gro among them.
 The bulk of them are Germans and Ewedes and they are good, frugal hard working farmers, who have been used to very little in the fatherland and can come here and make a start
 They possess the power Of adapting themselves to their surroundings and are good law-abiding. tax-paying citi- zens, for they do not remain aliens to the country long.
 The Italian is not farmer and as for labor for our cities, that will come without seeking, anyway, the negro Is rapidly leaving the farms and going to the cities. There are perhaps four or five cities where labor is quite a question and in those 1t can be se- cured very easy as in the most of them there is plenty lying idle.
 As there is seldom a mechanic of any description among them, the coal mines are the only places the Italians will ever be of any good to the state and they are a constant trouble for there is always dissatisfaction about some thing. Then as whole they are a very tough and hard proposition.
 If the German and Swede farmers can be induced to come South, they will be help and the state will never re- gret the move. They want homes of their own, they are not renters, and also want good roads and school hous- es for they are an ambitious people who make many sacrifices to educate their children.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1z,>aoOS.
IT IS NOT NEW.

4T AS NUT NEWs
 Professor Ernst Haeckel, one, of the most prominent Of living scientists and philosophers. who has been de- livering a series Of lectures in Berlin. denies the possibility Of the existence of the human soul. and we are in- formed by a contemporary that his theory ''has greatly excited the intel lectual world"
 For the life of us we are unable to see or understand why the intellect ual or any other section of the world should be excited or worried over his deliverance on this subject. There hes not in all probability been a time since man inhabited the earth that some have not taken the same posi- tion that Haeckel now occupies. To deny the immortality of man is noth- Ing new or novel. Unbelievers of his kind are not a novelty. They have al- ways existed and we have no reason to believe that they will ever cease to exist while time lasts.
 This Professor Haeckel is a great philosopher and therein lies his weak ness. He wants to bring everything down to the level of human reason. He wants to apply the measure. the scales and the magnifying glass to everything he treats of. He has never seen a soul, has never weighed one, has never measured one, therefore 1t 5ect it must be palpable to some of our senses, is about the conclusion he ar rives at. Yet to use the words of The Boston Globe "the average man wheth- CT he lives now or lived. sixty centuries ago, knows or did know that there is an immortal soul in the depths of each human organism. How does he know it? Through processes which, for his own purposes at least, transcend in authority and 7conclusiveness all the researches of Haeckel into the nature of calcareous sponges and the siphon- ophora- The soul is believed in today by a larger proportion of human be- ings, probably, than was the case when cheops built his pyramid. And five thousand years after Professor Haeckel is dead, its existence and its supreme Accountability will still be maintained triumphantly among men,"
 We don't really know whether men of the Haeckel stripe can do harm or not. As we have said, there have been such men in all ages and countries, but the belief in the immortality of the soul has not been driven from the heart of man nor has the Christian religion been obliterated from the earth. Both continue in spite of soof- fers and unbelievers and both will live and grow and flourish till the end The poor. weak weapons of philosophy cannot drive the hope of immortality from among men, nor can all the wea- pons of irreligion conquer the soldiers of Christ, Such men would find better use for their talents if they would confine them to investigation and study of the material things of earth and leave the unknown and unknowable to a higher power.
