Robinson Crusoe's lsliiud Colonized. The Gartcnlaxibe, a widely circu lated German illustrated paper, published in Leipzic, has this hit of information, which is of interest the world over : At a distance less th:uv three day's voyage from Valparaiso, ii Chili, and nearly in the same latitude with this important port on the "Western coast of South America, i ; the Inland of Juaa Fernandez, where once upon a time, Alexander Selkirk, during a solitary banish ment of four years, gathered tho material tor Defoe's" Robinson Cru
soe." This Islam's, little, thought of by the inhabitant!! of the Chilian coastland, has lately become of some interest by the fact that in Decern -ber, 1808, it was ceded to a society of Germans, under guidance of

Andy Johnson says, President Grant is "a mere incident of the war." Well, that is iirmitely better than the mere accident of an assassination. Sixty-five per cent of the male population of Spain, and eight-six per cent, of its female population, are unable to read or write. Only about one in every thirteen goes tosehool. This does not speak well for the prospect of eatablLihing a republic iu tl at country. "I wish you would not give we such fchort weight for money," said a customer to a grocer, who' had an outstanding bi il against bins. "And I wish yon would not give me such long wait for mine," replied tbe grocer. Uncle Johnny Purdue's Agricultural College is at last "located."'

The 'post oifice officials in Cleve
land, had a lively time a day or two ago, handling the "mail matter."
In one or the pouches were two hoxes of bees, on their wav to
Clarice county. The boxes vee about two inches square, and half an inch deep. These boxes had
breathing ho'es in top and side, covered by a very fine wire gauze. There wen?, perhaps, a dozen bees
in each box, and each box provided with a small stick of candy for lunch on the way.
Mr. James Broils, a farmer living near Louisville, is in something ot' a stew about his bees, of which he had forty-five hives. The emblem of industry lit out one niglit, without a note of warning, and neither hair nor hide of them has leen eeeru since. On inquiry, Mr. B. learned that all the bees in the reighbor-
hood left the same night, mid in the
same unaccountable manner. The
hives, on being examiivd, were found full of honey, and nothing
unusual was discovered to warrant
the insects ir. bolting.
The Spanish authorities in Cuba deserve general execration for their treatment of insurgents who fall into their hand.. At Barracoa, lately, they deliberately shot sixty prisoners whom they had captured, and
whose live, under all the rules of
civilized warfare, they were bound to preserve. This is but a sample of numerous atrocities which have been reported.

Church Singing. A cor
respondent ot the Syracuse Joxtrncil writes : A line of a hymn given out at prayer meeting so excited the curiosity of my little girl that on returning home she repeated it, with a request for an explanation. The
line, as she heard it, was, "Mitre Rime a bird and long has been." At the cost of much time devoted to researches in an old hymn book, and the exercise of a patient ingenuity, the satisfactory discoveiy

Several physicians were summoned, but ampliation was not performed until over eight hours after the injury was received. Th-3 great loss of blood before amputation, added to the shock of the injury and operation, caused his death the same evening. Lately, amid the plaudits of the Democracy of the whole country, Senator Sprague proclaimed the aphorism than nothing ia more CTvardly or re. ?an than a million of dollars except two millions. If this lie Democratic doctrine, what shall we say ol the Democratic taste in selecting a t wenty-million candidate tor Governor of Pennsylvania, and choosing hi in for that reason? On the 18th of June, Peter Gum-, mings, of Tonawanda, was drowned at Pendleton, in the Erie canal. He waa sever ty years old, and had been, a canal ! river forty-four ver.rs.
