A FOBCK has just returned to Nash­ ville from a raid in Jackson and Macon coun­ ties, Tenn., upon the moonshiners.

Only abput 170 of the passengers and crew, number ( ing 220, were saved. The bark reached Folkestone in a sinking condition, with her bow completely demolished, her water-tight com­ partments alone keeping the vessel afloat cial agents of the department regarding timber depredations, and says: J* " We cannot close our eyes to the fact that anything like complete success in suppressing the unlawful practices is impossible, unless the efforts made by this department for the protec­ tion of public property meet with a hearty oo- opertftion on the part of the legislative branch of the Government. Actual experience enables me to say that want of such co-operation has been, and will always be, an encouragement to depredators to persist in their lawlepn opera­ tions and to defy the authorities." Secretary Schurz enters into an elaborate dis­ cussion of the Indian question. He says that allotment of lands among the Indiana on the several reservations has been ordered and is in progress, that the educational facilities have been extended m much as possible, that the Indian service has been reorganized in several of its branches, and that, upon the whole, the charac­ ter of the service has oeen raised in point of in­ tegrity and efficiency. He is far from pretend­ ing, however, that the present condition of In­ dian affairs is what it ought to be. The Sec­ retary tfainks that gradual improvement can be effected only by patient, energetic and well-directed work m detail. He thinks the Indian service should have at its disposal a sufficient fund, to be used with proper account­ ability jat discretion, in unforeseen emergen­ cies. The Secretary says that the citkenB of the Western Territories must bo made to under­ stand that, if the Indians are to cease to be troublesome, they must have land fit for agri­ culture and be permitted to establish homes thereon, and that such a result can never be reached so long as the whites persist in robbing them of every acre of ground. that, is good for a n y t h i n g . • • • . . ' • ' 8 WITTY BE PLY. Rev. Lemuel Haynes, a colored man, had to struggle hard for a position. But he attained one among the Baptist charches of Vermont, and was highly esteemed for his noble qualities. He was shrewd and witty, and few seldom got the better of him in an encounter with words. While traveling once in Vermont, he met an outspoken scoffer of religion, who demanded of Mr. Haynes what evidence he had for be­ lieving the divine origin of the Bible. "Why, sir," answered Mr. Haynes, " the Bible, which was written much more than a thousand years ago, in­ forms me that I should meet just such a person as yourself." " But how c&n you show that?" re­ turned the sneering skeptic. " The Bible says, ' In the last days, scoffers shall come, walking after their own lusts.'" It is said that, soon after the delivery of a sermon that aroused a good deal of opposition among a certain class, he was met by two reckless young men, who had concerted together to raise a laugh at the expense of the minister. As they met, one of them said: " Father Haynes, have you heard the good news?" " No," said Mr. Haynes; " what is it? " "It is great news," said the other, " and, if true, jovjr business is gone." "What is it? again inquired Mr. Haynes. " Why," said the first, "the devil is dead." In a moment, the old gentleman, placing his hands upon the heads of the young men, in a tone of solemnity and concern, exclaimed: "Poor, fatherless children! What will become of you?

( THE prospect of another serious dip­ lomatic misunderstanding between Russia and England, growing out of the war against the Afghans, is imminent Evidently the time has arrived when Russia feels called upon to show her hand in this business, and she has chosen to go to the help of the Ameer by the indirect route of a protest against the British occupation of Afghanistan as a serious menace to Russia's Interests in Turkestan... .The Dobrudscha has been annexed to Roumania, and official procla­ mation of the fact has been made An unsuc­ cessful attempt was made at Pesth, Hungary, a few days age, to assassinate Count Andrassy, the Austrian Premier; Minister Tisza, the President of the Hungarian Council, and other distinguished persons, while being entertained at dinner.

He recommends such legislation as Bp % will preserve and enlarge the timber-bearing •K % lands of the country. The Secretary strongly HI faction of the department and spe- m » PROPERTIES OF FROST. Scoresby, the celebrated Arctic trav­ eler, states that all animal substances, fish excepted, may be preserved in Greenland for any length of time, with­ out being smoked, dried or salted. Beef, mutton, pork and fowls, the latter neither plucked nor drawn, are con­ stantly taken out from the northern islands of Scotland and preserved in this way. When used the beef is di­ vided by a saw; it is then thawed in cold water; and, if cooked when it is three, four or five months old, will fre­ quently appear as profuse of gravy as if it had been recently killed. A fur­ ther antiseptical effect is produced by the cold on animal and vegetable sub­ stances, so as to preserve them,v if they remain in the same climate, unchanged for many years. Wood has been met with in Spitzbergen which has resisted all injury from the weather during the lapse of a century. A French writer, quoted by Dr. Scoresby, relates, also, that the bodies of seven Dutch seamen, who perished in Spitzbergen, in 1635, were found twenty years afterward by some sailors who happened to land about the place where they were in- | terred, in a perfect state, not having suffered the smallest degree of putrefac­ tion. EX AGGER A TION. The habit of exaggeration is one which rapidly grows into untruth, if en­ couraged. Never "color" a story for the sake of a foolish jest, or to excite the laughter of a few companions at the Expense of a friend. Be anxious, when you relate anything, to tell it just as it occurred.' Never vary in the least de­ gree. The reason why our ears are so often saluted by false reports is because people, in telling real things, add a lit­ tle to them, and, as they pass through a dozen mouths, the original stories are turned into something entirely dif­ ferent. So, when you attempt to tell anything that you have seen with your own eyes, relate it correctly in every particular, and, as you grow older, you Mill reap the advantages of this course. THE Hat Trade Review says: "Bos­ ton Corbett, who shot Wilkes Booth, has gone in search of employment. He desires tcrjocate in Kansas and expects to walk there. He is a silk-hat finisher by trade, but since the Centennial, when he was one of the guards at the Exhibition, Tie has had little work of any kind. " BUSKING AND GRAVE-HOB' BING. BY OATH. Iftherehas been inany print a re­ vival of the story of Burke and Hare's crime I have not seen it. Sinco Mrs. Alexander killed "Stuttering Jack," at Bridgeport, Ct., a few weeks ago, to sell his body, it has been stated that this is the first woman ever indicted for such an offense. This is not the case. William Burke was indicted in 1828, at Edin­ burgh, with ^ Helen McDougal--the names all Scotch, as is Mrs. Alexander's --for pressing to death, while she waa intoxicated, the body of Mary Patter­ son ; also the bodies of Mary McGone- gal and James Wilson. Burke was a scavenger in the employ of the police. Hare was a laborer. In Mrs. McGone- gal's case both Burke and Helen Mc­ Dougal lay across the poor woman, holding her orifices of breath. Wilson was knocked down, grappled with and strangled. In each case the motive was to sell the bodies to dissectors. It was just half a century ago. Five pounds apiece were paid for the bodies. Fif­ teen persons were killed by theise mis­ creants, several of them women, and, in one case, both a poor woman and her son. Two women were privy to these deeds. Burke confessed. Mrs. Mc­ Dougal was found by the jtuy "not proven" a principal. Burke was at­ tended to the gallows by Catholic priests. The driginal temptation to these ap­ palling crimes was „ the death of a per­ son in Hare's hotiBe, and the offer of money from certain private surgeons for the body of a subject. Body-snatching has been humorously treated by Mr. Dickens in his "Tale of Two Cities." It has been followed ever since medical science was embarrassed for subjects. Dissection began in Egypt* 300 years before Christ by Herophilus, who obtained the bodies of living ani­ mals and cut them open to study the or­ gans. Galen, of Alexandria, Egypt, only dissected animals. It was not until 182 years before the discovery of America that lectures were given over human subjects, by Mondini di Luzzi, at the University ®! Cologne; a century later it became general at Italian colleges. Hol­ land followed Italy, and the best monu­ ment of dissection is Rembrandt's well- known picture of Dr. Tulp before his students. All the Scandinavian coun­ tries and Germany adopted public dis­ section before France and England. The murder of people for their bodies arises from the difficulty of obtaining subjects by legitimate means; hence chiefly disreputable people engage in the task, who violate the laws persist­ ently, and in extreme cases the laws against murder. When the supersti­ tion environing the human carcass shall go down--no medical college will need to deal with highwaymen or garroters. The stealing of the body of A. T. Stewart is probably due to the costly character of the cathedral erected by his widow, whose gorgeous frame, al­ most completed, suggested it to a thief. Many centuries ago the Crusaders had a plot to steal the bones of Christ from the Holy Sepulchre, so as to make the fortunes of some European church. All Europe, indeed, sacrificed treasure, blood and the captivity of its Kings to get a squint at those poor, doubtful bones lying there on Mount Something. When the rich man, Joseph, of Arima- thea, laid Jesus "in his own tomb," he did shrewdly as well as piously; for that poor man's companionship, attracting voluntary watchers--yea, the angels-- was protection also to the rich who shared his narrow chamber. v What I spent I had; What I kept I lost; What I gave I have I THE ENGLISH CROWN DIAMONDS. The English crown diamonds are val­ ued at $8,500,000. They are in a thick iron chest, and are guarded by sentinels day and night. There is a diadem of •ighty-six diamonds of various sizes, in the middle of which is the celebrated Kooh-i-noor, alone valued at $320,000 also a collar of 108 diamonds, in the center of which is an emerald, said to be the purest and most beautiful extant. A second diadem is a blending of dia­ monds and emeralds. In the center is the Kaudavassy diamond, valued at $600,000. It would be rated at a higher sum were it not for a slight defect. These, and many other valuables of the kind, belong to the English crown. A portion are used by the Princess of Wales on special* occasions. The Kau­ davassy was formerly the eye of a one- eyed Hindoo deity, and has been but lately added to the collection. TRAIN THE MIND. Let common sense guide you, young people. Do as you have a mind to. Some folks have not a "mind" to do anything. They do as others do with­ out any intelligent purpose--or mind-- about it. There is the trouble with the little boys who want to wear stand-up collars, and swing little canes, and make-believe smoke cigarettes, like the other little boys. There is the trouble with the young men who want to dress beyond their means, and really smoke pipes or cigars, and drink an occasional glass of wine^or beer, as "all the othe$ fellows do." There is the trouble with the young girls who want td watch the fashion plates, and conform to them, and will make a display not justified by their parents' means. There is the cause of most of the folly and crime committed in our midst. • THANKSGIVING IN THE OJLDXN TIME. ' This story, dear readers, either boys or girls, is intended to show you how differently people lived, how few holi­ days they had, and how much more they enjoyed them, "in the olden time,"than we do now. Thanksgiving was the great festal day of the New England year. In the early years of the present century there was probably not a Roman Catholic or an Episcopalian in the little town of Mont- side. The people prided themselves on their direct line from the Jfilgrim Fath­ ers. Christmas was not observed; it came and went and half the people never knew when the day was. "A merry Christmas" was never heard; or, if by chance some one better educated than the rest, said " I wish you a merry Christmas," they were thought to be re­ markably well-informed. The Fourth of July was the hay-making season, and farmers were too busy to make a frolic of it. In those days men were born to help their fellow-men, especially to get in M hay when the sun shines." Fire­ crackers ha<! not found their way into that lonely\egion, excepting as a curi­ osity. An oid cannon mounted guard in the town, as a relic of soine former war, and, when occasionally shown. |he light of day, made itself heard by a booming sound that thundered over the hills, frightening the people out of their wits in the neighboring towns, thinking there was some one in distress, and was afterward returned to its hiding place. New Year's day shared the same fate as Christmas. The mqn and women at­ tended to their work and the children went to school the same as other days. But Thanksgiving was the day of all days. Great were the preparations for weeks. All the scattered household met V>n this?1 occasion. Boys that were learning trades, young married men and women, the young schoolmas­ ter--all came trooping back to home and mother. ) The only mode of conveyance in those days was either by stage, wagon, on horseback, or on foot. Tiieire.were no railroads to help them on their jott^ney. Do you think either of you could start early in the, morning, trudging along over the hills on a lonely road, with a little bundle under your arm, or a bag in your hand, bound for home, ten, fifteen, or twenty miles away? With a cold, keen wind blowing in your face, and the hills covered with snow? Yes, a thou­ sand times yes, I hear you say, knowing at the end of your journey there would be glad hearts, a bright evening fire, a bountiful supper, a mother's "God bless you, child," to welcome you. Ah! boys, think well and often ere yon speak a harsh word to such a mother ; when she leaves you, all is gone. 4 On the afternoon before Thanksgiv­ ing the schools were dismissed earlier than usual, and did not begin again until the following Monday. The manner of observing the day was the same then as now; there was a gathering at the old meeting house, all the men and boys at­ tended service, and the women stayed home to get the dinner. On that day they dined at 1 o'clodk, 12 being the hour for other days. Chicken pie was the dish for Thanks­ giving dinner, and turkey, though com­ mon then, was not as universal as now. Then came the dessert pies and pud- -dings of various kinds, apple and mince, but pumpkin was the pie, like mince is with us now. At any rate there was full and plenty to eat, and some left over; the children ate more than was good for their highest comfort and well-being afterward. The evening ended with so­ cial gatherings in various places; old and young were invited to have a social chat. God was not forgotten in the midst of this harvest of gladness and plenty. Before the party broke up, they all knelt around the family altar and thanked God for the abundant mercies of the past, and sought his grace and protection for the future. Such was Thanksgiving in the olden time--a thoroughly New England festi­ val, born of our history and a native of the soil. COFFEE. As a beverage, coffee is agreeable; but it should .not be very strong, or drunk too often, as it is undeniably a stimulant. Take only one cup at the regular meal, and that of a given, un­ varying strength. In this way it may be used every day for a lifetime, not only without injury, but with greater advantage than an equal amount of cold water. We have heard of a lady who was for a long time in poor health, to the mystification of Beveral physicians whom she consulted, when at last they discovered that she made a most ex­ travagant use of strong coffee many times a day--in fact, she had a pot of coffee always at hand. Following the advice to abstain from coffee resulted in an immediate end of all her trouble. TSAVKLEBS by rail will be ixii to know that the practice of "stopping off" while using round-tripHdckets, con­ trary to the stipulations thereon made and provided, is not approved fry |||g United States Circuit Courts THE loss to this country by the yel­ low-fever epidemic for the present year is estimated at $175,000,000. This is purely from the money standpoint. The loss of life and the sorrow of the living for the dead can never be estimated in dollars and cents. THK war in Afghanistan will not be lacking in picturesque features. Every approach to the Ameer's dominions is over a road that would call out the en­ thusiasm of a tourist, and the employ­ ment of elephants and camels gives to the invading army an Oriental cast that has at least the charm of novelty to Europe and America. ONLY a few Yfears ago -John Bull sneered at any butter or cheese from Brother Jonathan's country as "tough or strong," but now there is a steady and growing demand for American cheese and butter in the English and Scotch markets, as there is for Ameri­ can meats. The annual consumption of cheese in England is 300,000,000 pounds, or ten pounds for each inhabitant, while in the United States it is only 180,000,000 pounds, an average of four and a half pounds per head. THE women of Wyoming Territory are said not to fully use their excep­ tional privilege of voting. They do not take much interest in politics, and to vote has not become fashionable among them. A certain class of women vote always, apparently for the sake of ex­ hibiting themselves, but the rest go to the polls only when some man\belong- mg to their own church or sociaLcircle is a candidate. Still, the friends of woman suffrage in Wyoming hope to make voting general by their Bex. Or course the cremationists are just its much shocked at the recent opera­ tions of the body-snatchers as any of us. But they cannot shut their eyes to the fact that these midnight prowlers ^have done more this fall to make crema­ tion popular than they themselves could have done in ten years. Every fresh case of corpse-stealing makes fresh con­ verts to the cause, or at least tends to lessen prejudice and secure its advocates a fair hearing. A single violated grave is worth a dozen elaborate arguments. BEN BUTLEB, according to a Western newspaper, was once engaged to a young lady of Waterville, Me., and to break off the match, which for some reason dis­ pleased him, he hit upon the notable ex­ pedient of going upon a feigned spree and jamming an inoffensive citizen's hat over his eyes. The reckless inebriate was promptly arrested and fined. The girl wrote a letter repudiating him; her father threatened to kick him out of the house, and the wily young man chuckled greatly at the success of his innocent stratagem. j THERE has been avast shrinkage in the business of life insurance, partly because of the severity of the times and partly because the rottenness of many companies has been exposed through the inability of officers to keep them longer afloat. The statistics of com­ panies doing business in New York State may be taken as a fair sample of the general decline in business of this kind. In 1872 policies were issued to the amount of $2,114,000,000. In 1877 they amounted to $1,556,000,000, a falling off of $558,000,000 in four years. THE expedition sent out last May to raise and repair the Atlantic cable of 1866 has just returned to London, and reports having grappled and raised the cable to the surface of the water fifteen different times, but the outer wires were so weakened by oxidation that it broke and was lost again in each case, and the work was given up as impracticable. The opinion of electricians is that this cable and that of 1865 are defunct, and that ten years may befixed as the aver­ age period that any cable will- last that is not better protected. The new cables are better provided for in this respect. DOUBTLESS to many persons the year 1878 seems an unprecedented one for murderous attacks on crowned heads; but the £ear 1852 was signalized by three--on the King of Prussia, on the Quer n of England and on the Emperor j of France; the following year also by three--on the Emperor of Austria, the King of Italy and the French Emperor. Still, in the present year, though only three monarchs have been attacked, the two attempts of Hoedel and Nobeling make the total number of attempts four, which is unprecedented for at least a quarter of a century. Within the past fourteen years Presidents of republics have been attacked by assassins almost as frequently as Kings, and Princes, as the attempts on President Lincoln and on the Presidents of Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Paraguay will show. There were six actual attacks or discoveredj . • plots for attack on Napoleon HI. durinl§ his reign. This year there seems to b* a marked panic in the royal householder of Europe, to which each fresh though futile attempt at assassinationadds ne tremor. " A COUNTRYMAN drove into Xeni% Ohio, the other day with some friend^ to meet a train. Arriving at the depo% a freight train was standing on the sid|» track, and the countryman, not seeinjf any convenient place t^p up, deliber­ ately hitched his horse to the rear car* of the freight, and proceeded to prom­ enade the walks around the depot while waiting for his train. What was hi| surprise when he saw his hitching-posfc pull out for Cincinnati, with his hors# and wagon bringing up the rear in not the best of order. It would not b» proper to record the remarks of the young man on the subject. THERE is a whole drama in the story suggested regarding the death of Col. Dwightj of Binghamton, N. Y., after*: obtaining an insurance upon his life dt $250,000 for the benefit of his wife and. son. The evidence strongly points to a determination on his part to kill himself before his next quarterly premium be­ came due, and it is said that he exposed, himself in the most reckless manner, in the hope of contracting a fatal disease. He even swam the Susquehanna river- back and forth on cold days; but it is believed finally despaired of dying soon enoogn, and so probably poisoned him­ self. The insurance companies will con­ test the claim. IT is .stated, with apparent authentici­ ty, that on the 1st of January next *. most important change in the Catholic Church gov^nment in America will take place. Up to this time the United " States has been a missionary station, as- it were. After the 1st of January, ac­ cording to the Pope's brief, just re­ ceived by Archbishop Wood, of Phila­ delphia, the Catholic Church in thia country will be substantially on a foot­ ing with the hierarchy in European countries, where tine Catholic religion has flourished^forj hundreds of years. re Archbishop of Philadelphia, as well all the other Bishops and Yicars Apostolic in this country, haa received from the Pope the brief referred to, in which the particu­ lars of the new system are set forth. Archbishop Wood says, through his Secretary, Father Brennan, that aa soon as possible a circular embodying the brief will be mailed to every priesi in the archdiocese. The most import­ ant particular appears to be the estab­ lishment of a system of church judica­ ture. The brief ordains that under the new system pastors of parishes shall be known as rectors, with most of the canonical rights now belonging to par­ ish priests in Ireland, and head priesta in England and Scotland. All dispute* between priest and Bishop shall be set­ tled by the Court of Causes. PEACH STONES. Children should not be allowed to eafc peach kernels. An ounce of peach ker­ nels is said to contain a grain of pure prussic acid, two-thirds of which would prove fatal to a child. THE practice of buying cheap orna­ ments originated with the French, who wear pretty jewelry, though it is not made of 18-carat gold, choosing it aa they do their well-cut, inexpensive dresses, wearing both while they are fashionable, and, when no longer so, throwing them aside. Consequently French women are always tastefully and fashionably attired. THE MARKETS. NEW YORK. BEZVBS 97 Hoos 2 COTTON FLOCB--Superfine 8 WHEAT--No. ft '. CORN--Western Mixed.
