At the close of the. last term of tin Lutheran Theological Seminary at St. Louis, folly four candidates entered the ministry,

A young man seventeen years old, nauuil Aiiski, at Iaeoti, 111., hinsl out to a man and was sent every morning after ice. He uod to carry it home in a cotlcesack on his hack, lu elbrt was to paralyze the spinal cord, making him a ho) te les nivaim. At Ilcthany, Mo., the other day, Alonzn TliMina wa hauling saw-log to the mill and had with him his little son, about five years old. In unloading the log, it took a contrary course to what Mr. Thoina exHvted, and threw tin little loy to the ground, mashing hi head flat anil scattering bis brain on the ground. Laura Perry fell fainting in the schoolroom at Carsoii, Nev., recently, she bad within three week committed to memory : page of hi-torv and 2 of natural philosophy. The night Is fore she ami a classmate bail imt gone to bed at all, but studied through the night and until niije that morning. That wa. all the reason she fainted. Last March a man In Ietroit named Emory Prattle, a machinist, in the employ of the Michigan Car Company, made a bet with anotbernian as to which could longer hold out the handles of an e lectric battery which a traveling inii-ance hid on the ( ainpii Martin. Prattle won the Int. but at heavy cost. Hi system rcoclved such a shock that opto this time lie has not Im-cii able to do a day work. He ha fallen away from a powerful, heavy man to a skeleton almost, mid hi physician cannot sav that he will ever Is restored to health. A little New York loy, eleven year of age, did h pluck v thing while visiting in the country, lie was standing by a switch on tlie railroad track which passed through the village, anil as the tender changed the swich to turn an Incoming train out of the way of another train going out. !ie little boy's hand got caught in the switch. It hurt badly, but the little fellow would not b t the switch-tender take the risk of trying to make the two changes iiei-essary to release him in the brief time allowed, but stood bravely in torture until the entire train had passed. In Pottstown, Pa., one dav not long since. Mr, (ieorge S heet put her eleven-ii)onth-olil baby to lied, and then return ed down-stair to her work. The IniI on which the baby lay had n slat bottom, and the bed clothes were tis short to leach to the foot-cml. between the last slat and the foot-cml there was a space of almost six inches. The baby lieeainc restless during it sleep and rolled from the head of the tied to the foot-end, and its body fell between the slat and the foot-boanl, it head not going through, however, and there it hung suspcnlid, its feet ju-t touching the floor, until life was extinct, in which situation it was found by its horrillid mother some time after. A Frenchman tiauuil August (ianlniT, from Seymour, Indiana, while walking on the trackof the.lclVersonville, Madison and Indianapolis h'allroad. near Henryville, Indiana, one night recently, wa attacked by three men, w bo took hi pock-ct-book, containing $.. then tied him on the trae w ith roic oyer a small culvert, and lett him. lie succeeded in getting the tos that held his body untied, but Ixforc he got those that held his left foot loosened, an approaching passenger train was upon him. lie In that desperate moment threw his body oflT the track, the train Passing over and severing hi leg from tlie iKnly. He fell into the culvert, crawled out, lay there all night, and wa picked up at an early hour the next morning by the conductor of a passing freight train, and taken to .letlersonville, where he revived uflleieiitly to make the alwive statement. He died at U o'clock, a. in. There was no clue to the icrpctrators of the heinous crime. I'orrlarn MoIm, (taligna.-.i Messenger says that "some curiosity was excited on the boulevard in Pari the other day by tin apoarancc of three women attired in a singular costume, viz.: large zouave trousers,; closed by palters, small gray paletot trimmed wltli hlack, and tall felt hats w ho were staying at the Grand Hobd. On Inquiry they were

found to lie Mis Walker, an American medical practitioner, and two of her puiils. She is said to Is- on her way to Turkey, where she ha Just accepted the iwet of private physici in of the Sultan's seraglio." One would think that English jH-ople were hard driven to find names fur them

selves. iMitn t luistiaii ami surnames, to judge from the odd ones that crop up continually. Looking over a volume of w ills at poctors't 'ominous the other day, I came upon those of three testator hearing iisiectivcly the names of "Flight Scurry," Swift Fhi t" and "North Smth." Only the day U tore I turned nit a marriage license authorizing a Mr. Pickle to marry a MissOnion. Not long agon gentleman in Devonshire named Pine w as conis lled, on Middling to the estate of a relative, to take the additional surname of Collin, and the whimsical result is in a newspaper 1m fore me, which records the marriage of one of his daughters as Mis Pine Cotlin. London Letter. At the Sritol assizes in England, on August 12, Mr. broad, a gentleman living at Falmouth, brought an action against lr. I.yle, the medical suM-riiitendcnt of a lunatic asylum m-ar Exeter, to m-ovcr damages for injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendant. The plaintiff went mad through being "crossed in a love affair," and wa confined in the defendant' asylum. While there he jumod out of a window, the shock brought on paralysis, and he had entirely lost the use of his legs. One singular feat ure of the case was that immediately after the avidctit the young man recovered Ids reason and had been crfectly sane from that moment. The medical witnes-cs said he would never le able to walk. Mr. Justice llrett held that there was no evidence of negligence for which defendant w a legally responsible, and the plaintiff wa nonsuited. From statistics collected bv the Na tional Agricultural Laborer-' I'liion a to the recent lock-out In the Eastern counties of England it appears that the struggle lasted about eighteen we-ks, and cost the union in money expended fur lock-out pay, migration, and emigration, nearly 2.",HiU.

'There are still .'.") unemployed. The secretary attributes the failure of' the struggle to want of union and cohesion among the inn ; the refusal ,( ,ilivis I,, migrate to districts w here work and better wages could Is' obtained ; and the injudicious admission into the union of old men. who cxis-cN-d life annuities from its funds.

Outrages to Order. Now that the Congressional clo-timi. are approaching in the North, the criodicid supply of campaigning capital begin to come up from the Smth. in reports ot harsh treatment of the blacks, which are Usiiaily fabrlcatttl to order, and remarkable fur the regularity of their apjicaraiHv when a political purpose is to lie served. The headquarters ot this sort of lo ws is tin- Attorney-General's! otllce at Washington, wiicro it i nunipulated, (!resi up in the strongest colors, and sent out to the country. The large army of marshals and depu-

i tics employed hy the Department of .lu- , tut have Imt little el-- to do Imt to serve as electionee ring iiistrunii'iits. They help to get up conventions, to organize the primaries, ami to manufacture testimony w believer it may he misled for one or another -)ction. And in this disreputable buiues they have been materially aided by the secret scrviii- of the Treasury I opartment, who. In-side- the large sums rvived from their regular employment, have draw n about one hundred thou-ainl dollar a year from the Attorney-General under various pn-text. These marhal and o rct-crvio men combine together for plunder, and an always ready to swear each other through on any emergency. It was provol la-fore the rofut investigation of the District ot Columbia that men wen sent South by Whitley, ostensibly to hunt up Ku-Klux, w hothcmi lvesorgidii.cd Klaus, inveighs! w ild young men into them, and then a-jn-aredas witnesses, in court to convic t their own victim ami other entirely iniDKfiit. There are Mor creatures still languishing in tin -iiitentiary and condemned to years of misery, w let never had thi' remotest connection with or knowledge of this order. In order to establish their cHiciency and to gain ft Vol' at Washington, liie.-e infa mous w retches, acting in the same spirit is those who put up the burglar) for sh-'t-hcrd's King, deliberately swore away the lilierty of harmless citizen in South Carolina and Alabama, and consigned them to a living death a criminal. And the convictions of these unfortunate victim were paraded by the Attorney -General a proof of a conspirac y and of the bloody hostility of the whites of the South toward the colored mo . While every incident which would pas without comment in any ordinary community is exaggerated to the pnjudVe of the Siuthern white and spn-ad broadcast for eth-ct, not a word is i-l in regard to the atrocities to which their wive, sisters, and young chihhvn have Isen tuihjcctcd by black demon in human form. The revolting record of these crime in the last six months exotilsall former cxericint and only a part of the terrible truth is known, from tin unwillingness of families to make public the shame and sutli riiig caused by brutal violence. Only a few week ago Gov. Ann s of Mississippi called ukiii the President for troops, alleging that a grave collision lstwcn the two mo- wa imminent at Vii ksbiirg, which could only lie prevented by the presemi' of Federal bayonets. For a Wonder they were- not sent. Tin' sequel proved that the election wa- the most quiet held for year, and the only trouble w:i, that ticing fair by iion-intcrfen-nec. Gmntisui wa smashed. That is a fresh Illustration of how intelligence at tlie S-tilth 1 manufacturo! by earM-t-baggr and their confederate when a jMiint is to lo made. Then are ot course bad men of both race at the South, but these exception are not to Is he-Id up in condemnation of either in the aggn g.ite, any more than the Five 1'oint should ltecitl a an example of the moral and refinement of New York. If there wa nothing ele to unite them in friendly fit-ling, the Itond ot a (timiiioii bib rest would almost iiecc-.a-rily bring them harmoniously together, l'bi-y an planted deep in the same soil, and the projKrity of ea h Is cleH-ndi-nt on the other.

The adventurer w ho have Iteen enil hi d by divis ions and strife have fomented discord a a trade, and sought to hand the black to get her in scerct leagues, by w hic h they might Ih used a a compact font. While this course w:is pursuit at the South the same scamps fabricates! stories of cruelty and wrong for Northern ttmHiimptinu, well calculates if true to rouse rescntinmt on the one hand and to excite sympathy tn the other. Thi game suo ctttled for Mver:il year, hut the- mask is now lifted, and the rascality of the w hole thing is at la-t iible.
