NOTES A'i (LlPPiNNS.

Lv an oiil :md rare book mention is made of the first use of rouge, which, by thi account, seems to have been f-onie-wliat perverted from its original purpose.

It was worn by the llouian Generals in their triumphs that they might seem to bln-h at their own praises." This i.- almost as bad as the use to which it is subservient in the prc.-ent progre-sive age.

The Cincinnati Tiinc* represents the Prohibition party in Ohio as enjoying a high degree of hopefulness. Last year it polled 703 votes for Governor, while the returns fr-jm seventy-six cotiaties show :U12 vole- polled at the late election, with a prospector very nearly 3,000 when all the returns shall, have come in. "While the two great parties have retrograded, the Temperance party has increased fourfold in a single year. It is the rising party? We doubt it. AVhi-ky is too strong.

IjAI.timore is as much dissatisfied with the result of the census as New York.— According io the census taken by the city two vears ago, she had 552,000 inhabitants, and the censit, this year was expected to reveal at i«ast 400,000. Instead of this, however, the Marshal repotts a total population of 280,000, or an increase of oijJy -[.'!,')!) 1 since lSGO. So Baltimore, which claimed to be the fourth city in the country, finds herself seventh or eighth, St. Louis being the fourth.

Tin: English Government some time since inaugurated a postal telegraph scheme. After a brief trial some of the papers are discussing the subject, and the full Mall Gazette adduces facts and figures to show that the business of telegraphing lias declined since the I'ostal Department assumed its management. It says the estimates in the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer are belied by the event. So far from realizing the profit of £120,000 predicted bv Mr. Lowe from the telegraph service, the Government will be fortunate if receipts pay expenses.

Ik comino seme does not prompt the French to try and cut off Prussian communication, they might borrow a page from our own history. The exploits of Sheridan and Gricrson show plainly that compact bodies of picked cavalry, avoiding the high roads and availing themselves of superior knowledge of the country, could distress the Prussians greatly by destroying their communications between Paris and (he Rhine. In this, as in many other things, the French do not seem to be alive to the situation they have been driven into Paris like sheep, and seem to limit theirenterprise to maintaining themselves behind the fortifications.

Emkkpon is not given much to compliment. He says lie lialc^ the shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, skill without study, mastery without apprenticeship, power through a packed jury or caucus, or wealth by fraud. They think the)- have got it, but they have got something else—a crime, which calls for another crime, and another devil behind that these are steps to suicide, infamy, and the harming of mankind. In this life of show, puffing, advertisement, and manufacture of public opinion, all excellence is lost sight of in the hunger for sudden performance and unearned praise.

Tiie Boston Times justly concludes that the singular unanimity with which General Butler's renomination for Congress was effected shows that the Essex District is entirely satisfied with the record of its Kepresentative. Affairs in the Fifth Massachusetts District will be rather dull this fall. The Democratic candidate will make scarcely a show of opposition, and there will be no movement instituted "for the good of the party" to put a gentleman of greater respectability and more talent in place of General Butler. That kind of pretentious politician finds little favor down on tluiCape. General Butler will undoubtedly pass the interval between now and election in fishing and he will insist that all he catches belong to himself.

The New York Tr•ibune findsMt impossible to decide which arm of the Prussian military service—the infantry, cavalry, or artillery—is most effective. Each of them has carried on its special work, since the beginning of the war, in such a way as almost to raise it above criticism. The steadiness, endurance, and determination of the infantry—the vivacity and tlasli of the cavalry, whether engaged in special service, or as a co-operative force—the energy, skill, and scientific ability displayed by the artillery and engineer officers—all indicate the superb organization and discipline of the Prussian army, as well as the high character of its material. There is none of the military establishments of Europe that has a record like that which the Piussian armv has made for itself in the wars of 1S0G and 1870.

Tiik New York Sun complains that the new Capitol at Albany promises to be a marvel of ugliness. Occupying a site 170 feet above the Hudson river, with abundant space for an architect to develop an intelligent design, it might easily be .made a splendid landmark over leagues ol country, like the dome of the Capitol at "Washington, which rises so grandly above its mean surroundings. But the opportunity seems to have been thrown away. Size without grandeur or just proportion, and a crowded mass of detail overlaid with frivolous ornamentation have been the effects aimed at by the architect. He has borrowed liberally from the architecture of the new Louvre and other edifice? of recent construction in Paris, but in his daring flights of fancy has left them far behind. Perhaps lie thinks he has improved upon the Louvre by crowning his building with a hideous tower which is to rise to '.he height of 320 feet, and will, if completed in accordance with the orig-

inal de.-ign, prove a monument of bad bodv

Statistics lead at "the Prison Befonn Congress recently held at Cincinnati, showed that out of 100,058 piisor.ers in fifteen prisons only sixteen per cent, were mechanics, while eightylive per cent, were servants and laborers, without trades.

The propo-ed marriage of the 1'iince=s Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter, and sixth child of O'teen Victoria, to the Marq lis of Lome, eldest son of the Duke of Argyle, has attracted attention to the English Royal Marriage Act of 1772, which forbids the descendants of George II. from marrying without the approbation of the reigning monarch, signified under the great seal and declared in council. The issue of princesses married into foreign families are excepted from the provisions of the act. The descendants of George II., after passing the age of 20, may marry without the royal consent, provided they have given the I'livy Council twelve months' previous notice of such marriage, and provided both Nouses ol" Parliament have not within that time declared .neir disapprobation. This marriage law was passed in consequence of the desire of George III. to interfere with the marriages of his brothers with subjects of Great Britain.

THE DIAMOND MIXES.

Particulars of 1 lie Discoveries in Soi Africa.

A reporter of the New York World lias had an interview with a Dr. "Winthall, who has just returned from the newly discovered diamond fields in South Africa. "Wo extract the following from the report:

TIIE EABMteST FI1TDS.

"Doyou know, Doctor,"said the writer, "when the earliest discoveiy of diamonds took place?" "The first diamond was found near the Orange river. A dutch trader, Jtraveling through the country, who had formerly, in Holland, been in the jewel business, found a little girl, the daughter of a poor (farmer) playing with a rough diamond that she had picked up somewhere near the bed of the river. lie at once detected its value and made a trade with her. He gave her a small sum, and threw in a few trifles into the bargain. As soon as he got to Port Elizabeth he took his purchase to the French Consul, who was quite a connoisseur in jewels, and submitted it for his inspection. The Consul pronounced it a true diamond, and it was sent to Amsterdam to be cut. It proved to be worth £1,000 ($5,000), The trader, with commercial meanness, kept the entire sum, and all the.

PAPERS PITCHED INTO III.M

for cheating the poor girl out of her precious plaything. They said he might at lea have given some percentage of his gains." "That was the first one?" "Yes the second was found in the possession of -i Caffre. It is supposed that also had been discovered in the valley of the Orange. The man who first saw it in the hands of the Caffre doubted if it was indeed genuine, and fooled the savags along until he had made him suspicioue of its possible value, liven at first the heathen must have had a faint glimmering of its. worth, for he had, after the fashion of his race, erected it to the dignity of a charm, and had got the no tion in his head that it was gifted with the virtues of an amulet, protecting him against the malice of his foes and the attacks of disease. On this acount he wanted, even at the outset, to get a good round sum for it, and this probably made the lucky white man, who was trying to get it, somewhat cautious about being Taken in. But when the Caffre found that the would-be purchaser, after taking it to be examined, was very anxious to buy it, he greatly raised his demands. Caffres arc at all times very fond of money—fonder even than we are. Finally, he held on to the stone until he got £8 000 far it—enough to set him up splendidly in savage life as a veritable Croesus. No doubt.

HE ISOrflllT DOZENS OF WIVES, and hundreds of oxen and thousands of sheep, and perhaps he is now living very happily, lie deserves to, for his amulet has been the potent germ of the present diamond fever. Its purchaser sent it on to Europe in the charge of a Dr. Iloffe to be cut. The Amsterdam merchants estimated its value at £-10,000 ($200,000), and at that figure it was bought by its present owners, Messrs. Lilienfel 1 Brothers, of Ilopetown." "But you left, 1 suppose, befor the real value of the stone was known?" "Yes if I had known that such prizes were going I should have stayed and done my best to take a hand' in. The reports afloat were so exaggerated that most people wholly discredited them. There also some other reported discoveries of diamonds of greater or less size but I did not pay much attention to them. I have lately got a letter from my brother inlaw. Mr. Edward Nathan, of Grafireinett, which tells me that many more finds have been made—some of them very important ones, lie says the colony is now in the full flush of.

A TIIOKOntH DIAMOND MANIA. "Many men sre throwing up their employment to go gem-hunting. The colony is, indeed, very much in the same condition as we read that Australia and California were when the gold fever broke out."

THE PKOSrEC'T.

"What do you candidly think of this diamond rush?" "Well, 1 think, from my private advices, that it is a genuine thing. The gold fever was, indeed, a hoax, got up by large land-holders to bring emigrants to the country and thus beat down the price of labor. But there arc diamonds to be found in the world of that there can't be any doubt, and I think that Cape Colony is exactly the right place to look for them The country seems to the traveler to speak eloquently of hidden treasure?. You can't pass through the mountains without the thought rising in your mind that tliev are big with wealth."

•'Kuiiutl by Chinese Cheap Labor." The Overland Monthly must look to its laurels. The San Francisco Xeirs Letter tells the following, which reads like one of the characteristic accidetnal sketches from the racy "Overland"' boiled down

One day in '10 an honest miner up in Calaveras bit himself with a small snake of the garter variety, and either as a possible antidote or with a determination to enjoy the brief remnant of a wasted life, he applied a brimming jug of whisky to his lips, and kept it there until like a repleted leech—which in no other respect it resembled—it fell off. The man fell ofl likewise.

The next day, while the body lay in state on a pine slab, and the bereaved partner of the deceased was unbending in a game of seven-up with a friendly Chinaman, the game was interrupted bv a familiar vocee which seemed to proceed from the jaws of the corpse "I say, Jim!" Bereaved partner played king "of spades and claimed "high," then, looking over his shoulder at the melancholy remains, replied: '"Well, what is it Dave?

Such, dear reader, was the origin of theanti coolie movement.

MODERN AMAZON'S.

The Women of the tieriiiiiii Aiiuy.

"X German correspondent writes from Frankfort: "Times and feelings have altered since the days of Joan of Arc, and even those of the German war of liberation, when many women joined the ranks of the soldiers in male dress. No one denies that women have been of inestimable service in war, but tliey have sprung up only out of emergencies. Recall the history only of Margaretta Bobia, the beautiful Italian, of 1430. "We could mention more than a dozen names from the German and French wars of the beginning of the present century. The present war lias already recorded a number of cases. A young woman offered lierself as a recruit at Breslau .at the very commencement of the present war, but was not accepted. On the French side there is talk of a Parisian Amazon Corps in the course of formation. Whether Eugenic 'will place herself at the head of her army' when danger is greatest, a second Joan of Arc remains to be seen. "In the first regiment of mounted chasseurs there is a Mademoiselle Norailles d'Albert, Baroness of Bernadotte, who serves in the ranks as a volunteer, and now fights like her comrades. At the battle of Woerth a French female sutler was captured with a chassepot in her hand fighting desperately against the Prussians. McMahon is said tc have quite a number of female 'volunteers' in his headquarters, and tlie Germans have made one good capture of hair pomade and ladies' wardrobes. Morals and military discipline are said by German correspondents, lobe a'ike in the French army, and that in the pursuit of pleasure the love of glory goes to the Teufel. "Germany has decidedly stamped the Amazonian spirit as unsuitable to the times. A Berlin operetta soubrette, Fraulein Minna Ilansel, issued an address to the German women about a month ago, desiring to form a Berlin Free Corps of Amazons. "She recognized the fact that women cannot fight in the ranks with men but recalling the Amazonian deeds of 1S13 and 1814, 'thinks a number of women and maidens' of the same way of thinking could be found to constitute an Amazon Free Corps, which might be of great service to the regular army, because a woman possesses certain peculiarities of spirit and character of especial value in war, not possessed by men if such a mounted Amazon Free Corps stands at the disposition of a comanding general, to carry dispatches or similar information quickly from one place to another, in case of need to penetrate in the districts occupied by the enemy, for example, on the coasts of the North and East sea, it will be of greater service than many men'. Ninua found fifty-three "sisters" of the same mind, who considered attending to the sick and picking lint beneath their dignity. Her intention is doubtless good, but she forgets that there are thousand-? of young men ready to fill up the ranks when called for, and that since 1814 there has another sphere opened for woman's activity in times of war, in which she alone can be of service, and where so many noble women of Germany now are—on the battlefields and in the hos pitals, wherever the sick and wounded, soldiers need relief and care. The Amazons of our day are not encased insoldiers armor they my be seen in plain dress their only distinction being the red cross arm band."

DEATH OF DIl. SAM. DICKENS.

The Last of ins Aaine Gone.

and Family

Some timejyesterday Dr. Sam Dickens, of Big Creek, whose name has often been in print in connection with the DickensBolton tragedies, received an accidental wound from a shot gun, wliich resulted in his death at three o'clock this morning. The particulars which have come to hand arc briefly as follows:

Dr. Dickens was going somewhere in his neighborhood in a buggy. He had a shot gun in the seat, and a negro was ii Iing along behind on a horse. He turned partly around to speak to the negro, when the gun was discharged, as he supposed, by a movement of his foot against the lock, and the entire charge entered his wrist and ranged through his arm, and nearly taking it off close to the shoulder. Dr. Dick Taylor, of this city, was sent for and proceeded to the assistance of the wounded man as rapidly as possible. On his arrival at Dr. Dickens' house he found that a great loss of blood had taken place, and told the sufferer that lie had not long to live. He proceeded, however, to take off the arm and dress the stump as well as practicable. Dr. Dickens lingered until three o'clock this morning, and then expiied.

He was the last male of the name and race in the country. That family war is over, and there is not a man left to pcipetuate either name. This is, we believe, the tenth death by violence since the feuel began, ten or twelve years ago. —Memphis Ledger.

There has lately been a little fight in regard to the course of study in the Illinois Industrial University, the report being that too much attention was paid to the clcssics in that institution, and too little to agriculture and its kindred sciences. A committee appointed to ascertain the facts, reported to the convention at the State Fair recently, that after a visit to the University, the.v found that out of 104 male and 14 female students, only 20 were studying Latin, and that nobody was studying Greek, while G3 were learning German and 27 French. We are sorry for the disrepute into which the excellent Grecian tongue appears to have fallen in this "University." [University —a universal school in which are taught all branches of learning.— Nor can we in the least understand why a fanner should be any less competent because he is able to read the Georgics in

THE CORNER-STONE LAID.

Highly Interesting Exercises.

Special Telegram to Daily ExprcsO Gheencastle, Oct. 20 —The Me:ho dist State Convention, to the number of three hundred and seventy-eight, reached this city from Indianapolis this morning, at nine o'clock, on a special train furnished free of charge by the Indianapolis, Terre Haute and VaLilalia Road. The Convention was welcomed at the College Chapel by the Mayor and I'rof. Tingley, on behalf of the citizens.and Faculty of Asburj.

Rev. Navlor responded in a very happy manner for the visitors. A business session was then held until twelve o'clock, when the Convention adjourned to participate in the exercises connected with the laving of the cornerstone of the new Asbury University building, wliich was done under the direction of Dr. Bowman, President of the institution. The ceremonies consisted of prayer by Rev. Cyrus Nutt, D. D., Short speeches by Rev. Aaron Wood, Dr. John L. Smith, and Dr. Bowman, and the reading of a list of the articles deposited, by Prof. Tingley. Dr. Bowman then offered a short prayer when the stone was put in place at five minutes to one o'clock in the presence of tw thousand people. The assembly the" proceeded to the upper room of the old building where a free dinner had been prepared for all by our generous citizens. It was serveel in fine style.

Asbury is now prospering with her three hundred student. An afternooa session of the Convention was held which adopted a resolution that the new University building should not cost less than seventy-five thousand dollars. Delegates from all parts of the State expressed themselves in favor of making it not less than one hundred thousand.
