LOWXIX, in T recent ipeedi at 'the London Chamber of Commerce •dinner, spoke of the United States as •«xempli{ying "what the colonies of England may come to if they are not •wisely treated." "Are there not," says 4he London Spectator, commenting on -this, "at the present time colonies of England which are pondering that very -question, under the irritation of need­ less, unmeaning, and even unintended, 'Unit, r\pt rmresented, neglect?" But is entirely a question of neglect? Does mot legitimate political aspiration count for anything in this matter? THE Boston Pont gives this graphic •description of a "dude." He was a dude <ot the extreme kind. He couldn't have been more so. His overcoat was short, Iris undercoat long, his collar high, his grousers so tight that it would seem he must have greased his leg3 to get into <4hem, his shoes pointed. Ashe entered the reading-room at the hotel everybody looked at him, and a smile went round, There was a brindie dog in the room at (the time. As the dude'passed at the tiews stand the dog went up to him, -sniffed of him, looked up at him once «ond walked away with a drooping tail •and an air of intense disgust. This di» igust probably arose from the foot that 4he dude wasn't the person the dog was (looking for, but the animal's whole ap­ pearance seemed to say: "This lets me «out. I can't stand that thing*" And "the crowd howled with laughteli ' h Hiss ANTHONT said: "I have beefo voundly abused and ridiculed for al lowing a female clerk of mine to send a .

AKOTBBK cherished delusion is gone, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Everyone has hitherto imagined that the Esqui- meaux were diminutive men, with enor­ mous appetites, and most travelers have brought back reports that they were not particularly truthful or hospital. But all these notions have been com­ pletely upset by Dr. John Bae's Iscturd I* the London Institution. He distinct­ ly denied that the bodies of the Esqni- meaux were <J,ny smaller or their appe­ tites any larger than those of other peo­ ple, and as for their moral character,they really seem to possess many excellent and even episcopal virtues. Dr. Bae as­ serts, from the experience both of him­ self and others, that the Esquimeaux are much "given to hospitality." Then, too, with very rare exceptions, they are the "husbands of one wifeand, what is more remarkable, the men never beat the women and the women never beat the children. And, lastly, Dr. Bae de. clares them to be "most truthful re­ lators" as well as "accurate observers." HOW WE TO, DEATH.

The decrease in the area mnder wheat is enormous, amounting -to lees than 58,000 acres or nearly 38 jper oent The growth in permanent pasture does not, as in England, keep tpeace with the abandonment of tillage. ?»Qn the contrary, the cultivated area in 'the whole of Ireland shows a diminution in the year of more than 60,000 acres. There is some increase in the number •of cattle, and a slight increase in sheep and lambs; but the number of both lat­ ter is about 28 per cent, less than two years ago. In pigs there has been a •decrease for the year of over 100,000. IN FRANCE the Monarch or Chief of the Executive has always, exercised the prerogative of mercy independently of Ministerial oontrol.

The daugh­ ter of a wealthy farmer named Nelson fell in love with a farm-hand, a Pole named Tileski, much against her fath­ er's wishes, he desiring her to marry a young farmer living near by. The favored lover was some months ago ordered from the farm, but a clandes­ tine correspondence has been kept up> and the other night, in accordance with well-laid plans, the girl was taken sud­ denly ill and the father was sent in haste for a doctor. No sooner had he got well away than Miss Nelson mar- velously recovered, and with her satch­ el in hand left the house and flew up the road leading to the village. Here she found her lover waiting with a fleet horse and ftleigh. They immedi­ ately Btarted for Lowell, where they intended to have the nuptial knot tied- They were obliged to pass through Chelmsford, and had nearly reached the village when a pin gave way in the sleigh and they found themselves un­ able to proceed. While endeavoring to repair damages Tileski looked up and saw Farmer Nelson right upon him. The old man was jogging homeward after leasrfna .wouL JCnr the doctor ia hasten to his home. He at once saw the trap into which he had fallen, and sprang upon Tileski with murder in his eye. The young Pole was too much for him, however, and in a trioe had the farmer down and bound with the reins taken from Tileeki's horse After, comfortably wrapping up the old man with buffalo robes tbey left him in the snow and the untiiiai daughter and her lover coolly took possession of Nelson's sleigh and oontiuued their jdurney to Lowell, where a good-na­ tured parson was routed up and the knot tied on the spot. Farmer Nelson, after being released by the leas-favored lover, who happened to be driving home, drove in hot haste to Lowell onkr to find himself a "day after the fa!** . (taier the Dead Sea. The well-known writer Gregorovius has published, under the title "A Bide to the Dead Sea," an interesting sketch of the famous lake. He substantially confirms all the traditional characteris­ tic, except as to the appearance of the landscape and some other minor par­ ticulars. He declares that no Sicilian bay nor the O nlf of Corinth presents more varied or beautiful coloring, only the water seems darker, as if of molten metal. He denies the general state­ ment that no bird flies oVer its waters, and that its shores are without vegeta­ tion. But he confirms the tradition that no living thing is found in it; fish coming down by the Jordan die at once on coming within its bounds. The water is so thick that be moved in it with difficulty; its bitterness wast terri­ ble ; the bottom was slippery like soap, and one can scoop up with the hand a slime like mortar. The touch of ^ it causes great smart to the eyes. While the temperature of the atmosphere waa 60 degrees f alirenheit that of the wa­ ter in th"e Dead Sea was 64 degrees. On coming out of it the body waa thickly in crusted with crystals of Sftlfe of magnesia and soda. ^ Putting on His Imprint. * The clergyman had just completed the job of uniting a couple in marriage, and at its conclusion, took hold of the bright red cheek* of the blu-hing bride with both hands and gathered her to him bosom, and, "smack," "smack," "smack" oould be heard throughout the portals of the mansion wherein had oc­ curred the marriage ceremony. The husband almost speechless, from astonishment, gazed, horror struck, at this new feature i« the programme at last found words to express himself. "Wh-what doee this mean ?" "Oh, nothing at all," replied the cler­ gyman, "I am like a printer, who some­ times, puts his imprint on the forms he has locked up," "If you are no better preaohcr," ap­ plied the gentleman* "than yon are a printer, you don't amount to much.

It will take something more than such taffy as the above to induce N&rth- ern Republicans to go Sonth for politi­ cal purposes. There is evidence on the other side* delivered under oath, which places that section in an entirely differ­ ent attitude. We learn from some of the witnesses before the Senate Com­ mittee in the Copiah investigation how Bepublicans are regarded and treated down there. One of them testified as follows: If you should send your biggest man. Gen. Grant, down into our country to organize the negroes be would be killed at once. All our trouble last fall waSjSmon* the County Super­ visors. We were determined t > elect our men and get rid of the Independents. We would have taken human life if it had been necessary in order to get rid of them. Yes, we would do it if they had a majority of the votes. In some places 1 deny tie right of franchise to the majority and believe in a qualification to limit the suiiras-o. We limit it any way. 1 believe it is a moral obligation to get rid of the Independents, even if they are in a majority, and that opinion is shared by the good white people. That was the cause of our trouble last fall. Frank M. Sessions testified as to the meeting held to warn ,the Matthews family to keep out of politics: After the resolutions were adopted Mr. Baily made a speech, saying that he had gone into Beat 3 to stump the county, but lound he could do more electioneering in the saddle than on the stump, and he had found the most convincing argument" to be a pistol, which he drew from lits pocket. The speaker said his friend Wheeler was the best elec- tioneerer he had ever 6ecn. Wheeler's argu­ ments always convince. Witness had not taken much interest in politics on either side. Had been in the Confederate army. Mr. Baily in his speech paid that if the Demo­ crats who had gone off to the Independent party would oonie back they ought to be re- received kindly. But if they would not, what shall be done? A voice in the crowd cried: "Kill 'am off." ••No," said Bally, "I cannot advise that, but I belie*, e you will kill them without advice." Ihe speech was greeted with applause. The following extracts from the testi­ mony are also to the point. J. w. Dunbar saw a crowd of armed men at Gough's store, where Has Wheeler made a speech saying, that they Intended to force the negroes to vote the Democratic ticket. J. T. Dameron, a merchant, saw Has Wheel er in a street-ear in Jackson the ISth or ltth of February. Has Wheeler was talking in a low tone. He said, " Yoa, old Hoar is coming down here on an investigating committee. If I get a crack at him 1 will kill him, too. I killed Print Matthews, or rather it was the Democratic party that did it. If it had not been for politics I would not have done it, but it was polities that did it." J. B. Allen is a native of Tennessee, and was in the Confederate army. Had teen Democrat, but for four years past was an In­ dependent.

About dark a crowd of armed men came along the road by the When witness left the polls at Centennial there had been caBt eighty-live colored and eight white votes for the Independent ticket, bnt in the final result there were only twenty- four votes for the Independents and all the rest Tor the Democrats. All the negroes that have lived with and workod for witness have been driven off by the system of terrorism practiced. Witness cannot get negroes to work for him through their fear of being dis­ turbed. Witness is a cotton-planter, owning 1,400 acrea,and most of it under cultivation. Witness does not betievo there is aay preju­ dice ay ainst him except.for his Republican polities. Wo might add columns more of sworn testimony like the above, show* ing how Bepublicans are esteemed in the South, and how much freedom is allowed them in voting and expressing their opinions. Until the Macon Tele­ graph can explain away such testi­ mony, or prove that it is false, and that Bepublicans can speak and act with as much freedom in the South as they can in the North, its invitation will have to be declined with regrets. It would be an immense advantage to the South if it oould be accepted, and it would de­ velop mutual kindly feelings, but we shall have to wait a little longer, or un­ til a man has the liberty to speak and vote aa be pleases before bnt he may find himself The people of Illinois re» gardnu& penmen faalia «i rebel Midi upon the Publio Timiift), nameljr, to reward mcsi lor aarvioe^xWered in trying to break down ana destroy the National Government.(7ftteatfo iYib- uiit. .

The Committee on Boni^onism and Misrule at the South submitted a re­ port describing the condition of affairs politically in the Southern States, and suggesting plans for adoption by the league to aid in securing fq^edom of the ballot to all citizens. Representatives Pettibone and Houk, of Tennessee, addressed JvK council in support of the recommendation made by the committee that aid be extended to the opponents of Bonrbonism in the Southern States. They presented sta­ tistics of the anti-BourCon vote in Tennessee, showing it had ihcreased from less than 60,000 in the Hayes Presidential election to 89,000 in the Garfield election and to 105,000 in the last Gubernatorial election. They stated that an additional 10,000 votes would redeem the State from Bourbon- ism and that those *t»tos oould be brought out if assistance were given to overcome the lawlessness which oper­ ated in that State against the free exer­ cise of political rights. Addresses on the same subject were made by Bepresentative Boutelle, of Maine; Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor, of Ohio; Lieutenant Governor Lewis, of Virgin*; ex-Senator Bruce, Prof. Greener, ex-Bepresentative Lynch, of Mississippi, and others, after which the report of the committee was adopted. A special committee to be known as a Committee on Bonrbonism was then appointed as follows: Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor, Chairman; J. E. Bryant, of Georgia; C. A.

"It is very simple," replied the doc­ tor. "Did you ever notice bow drowsy you become in cold weather? The ex­ treme parts of the body when subjected for a time to a temperatnreimpressively low readily lose their vitality; the cir­ culation of the small vessels become weaker and weaker until it stsgnates, and they are said to be frost bitten. I know a man who, while on a drunken spree, lay out in the woods and had his toes frozent off. But to proceed. The influence of cold being extended and still further protracted there is great drowsiness, with lassitude and extreme dislike to muscular exertion. If you succumb to the feeling of drowsiness and sleep you drop into the s'eep of death. You would first suffer intense paiu, afterward you would experience a benumbing effect, and if walking your steps would become uncertain and tot­ tering, Your utterance would become indistinct and An irresistible drowsiness would seize you. Yon would drop into 9-eep from which it would be impossi­ ble to arouse yon, and death would speedily follow." "if you should happen along in the nick of time and find a man at the point of freezing to death what would yon do?" "The first thing to do is to restore warmth, but it most be restored gradu­ ally. It has been fonnd that in case of insensibility from cold the sudden ex­ posure of the body to an elevated tem­ perature is cetainly fatal. If reaction takes place, it is short and violent, and the patient soon dies, not unfrequently in a state of delirium. In order to avoid this danger the man should be first rubbed with snow, if at hand, which, though in itself cold, is, when near the melting point, much warmer than the frozen bodjp; or the patient should be immersed in a bath of very cold water, made gradually less and less cold until the tempature is raised to the natural standard. As soon as the muscle and other soft parts are sufficiently relaxed to admit of easy motion, artificial respiration should be resorted to. It might be done by throw­ ing cold water upon the face or dashing it upon the shoulders. TheJ^dden impression of cold upon the surflBe is a powerful stimulus to the respiratory process. When blowing into tho mouth is restored to, it is best to breathe two or three times deeply, so a^ to give the patient a better quality of air." "Is cold injurious to one's system?" "Yes; upon the weak and exhausted cold acts as a permanent debility. There is not indeed a more frequent exciter of disease than cold, when ap­ plied to the body under certain circumstances. A short exposure will, of course, do little harm, but should a person be out long in it--say for mstance he should loss his way on a winter night--the result would l>e dangerous. It is exceedingly dangerous to go from a heated room into the cold air. The fair votaries of pleasure and dissipation often fall a sacrifice to the pursuit on this account, and many a young dancer has fonnd in the chilling blast the call to an early tomb."

But closer examina­ tion showed that tho bloody marks were left by a right hand which had no thumb, whereas the accused person had lost the thumb of his left hand. " A case quite as remarkable in point of in­ terest is related by Phillips in his "Famous Cases of Circumstantial Evi­ dence." Two men were seen fighting together in a field. A short tiuiu SitcT one of them was found lying there dead. Close beside him lay a pitchfork, which was known to belong to the man who was seen quarreling with him.*' The evidence was overwhelming. The accused oould not deny that the pitchfork was his, or that he had quar­ reled with, or even struck, the deceased; bnt he stoutly protested his innocence of the murder. The jury, contrary to the expectation of the court, bar and spectators, were ont a long time. At lust they came in and informed the oourt that they could not agree upon a verdict. It leaked out that one of their number would not ooncur in the verdict of guilty which the eleven were ready to bring in, and nothing which the court or his ool- leagaes oould say moved him. The jury was dismissed. Years after, on his death-bed, this ob­ stinate juryman confesced that he him­ self was the murderer. The accused man had quarreled with the deceased, had dropped hia pitchfork in the field and gone away. Soon after, the juryman came into the field, found tbe pitchfork, and in the heat of an accidental quarrel with the deceased, had killed him and then fled unobserved. When he found the accused in custody, he feared that the evidence would be strong enough to convict him. He therefore managed to get upon the jury, in order to save the innocent man without exposing him self to the gallows. ty the Kmperor for theneoessary mtlMMtgn to oommunioate the resolution of ths Hosseof Bepresentattree of the United States to tbe Oer- Beiehatag, because I should thsrewlth Bdslly indorse to ottdslly indorse myself, and also to with his Majesty the Kmperor, aa whleh I am unable to reoognlxe as jusU Vow BttKUOt.

They gather together m a hemispherical form at first. Only those on tlie outside of the lump of coral are alive; the rest within are dead, and so it grows. Be­ tween two coral animals a third one grows, and when one gets bigger than it* fellows a branch begins to grow.' The sea rolls in and brings their food. A natural breakwater ground of a coral reef is stronger than any that can be made by the hand of man, for the stronger the sea that beats upon It the more food is brought for the ootnl ani­ mals to gather with their little tentaoles. The bottom of the sea is smooth, and by means of a net dragged along all kinds of living things can be brought to the surface.--Prof. liickmore. The Whale, Tim whale is not a fish, bnt it n car­ nivorous cetacean mammal, with a fish­ like form, of which there are several families--as the babeniebe, pliyseteridaj and delpliinidse. The first two are enormously large, embracing the bal­ een and sperm whales, while the latter embraces the dolphin, porpoise, gram­ pus and norwhal. The whale was re­ garded as a fish even by naturalists to the time of Linna&ns, and are so now by persons ignorant of natural history; but they are true mammals, warm-blooded, air-breathing animals, bringing forth their vouag and suckling them for some time, while Jiek have none of these pe­ culiarities.
