A four-Year-old daughter of Michael Moonev, i New Albany, Ind., leaped from the arms of her mother while near the railroad track, and was i tithed to death by a passing train before her parent could rex-u! her.

Knglih fruit growers claim to have discovered a destructive enemy in the bee, and a correspondent of the London 7iwim writes, that in the Argentine Republic the grapes were destroyed year after 3 ear by .the honey-gathering in-Mi-ts, until at length the evil ttecame unU-arable, and a law was passed providing that Ix-es should not bo kept within a circuit of fix miles of a town, which is still in force.

It is just a little curiou, says the Ixndon li"or, that Mr. Henry" Ah rs Hankey, whose house and observatory atiuecn Anne's gate were burnt dow n lat week, has been for many years almost as great an amateur or follower of fires as the Duke of Sutherland himself. Marty year'- ngo Mr. INnkey built hioiself au observatory on the top of his house in Portland Place, which he delighted to use as a smoking room of an evening, haing a brougham ready below to start off directly ho noticed the glare of a fire from his watch tower.

A recent Continental traveler, referring to this cu.tom, asserts that 44 the ass-milkers in tho Italian town usually carrv a bladder of lukewarm water under their cloaks, kept up to tho heat of the IxkIv under the armpits, of the contents of which they furtively infuse a portion into tho wvi ral milk-jugs in the face of the domestics, who never suspect the trick. Thus are poor patients, when given up by the faculty and j-ent to languish under an Italian sun, and die, turned over to the tender mercies of tricksters, generally the associates or creatures of cheating hotel keepers."

I will do no injustice to the party which governs the countn, but admit that the same spirit of extravagance w hich marks its expenditures has I teen shown by eery state and municipal government without regard to the party which controlled them. Since the close of the war the American jeoplo have lost much of their former habits of industry, economy, and public virtue. Our troubles spring in a great degree from public rather than from political demoralization. It is a sad truth that we must confess that nil branches of government represent the spirit of spee - illation, and the efforts to gain wealth hv other means than by iudu.trv and economy. vx e cannot correct these evils, we cannot g t back our people upon a higher plane of morals and hab its bv partisan abuse. Reform must begin with each man in his habits and those of Lis family. Political parties must show their merits by ferreting out wrongs in their own ranks and they must prove their claims to public sujport, not by concealing but by exjtosing the guilt of" their partisans. The highest tribute paid to tho labors of 4iov. Tilden, and to those who are upholding him, is the fact that Kcjmblitan journals and speakers claim that their exposures reflect most strongly upon the party to which they are attached. The darkest shadow w hich rests upon their party is made by the fact that they assail the.e e fforts at reform, and are more anxious to condemn tho conduct or the mistakes of the men w ho are laving bare hidden crimes than they are to puni.h the criminals. An occasional compliment to the (lovernor, or a vehement claim that they moan to iih dd him in hi work, do not o!l'.et the constant stream of censure, or their laltors to break down his superiors. Another ev il is that the debt and taxation fall unequally upon the people, and the peopk' of the Wet are compelled to pay more than their share of the taxes. Thus government debts ami taxation divide our I'nion into debtor and creditor State. This is a dangerous relationship. Already the passions w hit h it engenders are appealed to by those who eck to excite set tional iasi sions. It ha. gu en i ! rt li to the theory i of inflation. Deiiunciat i-ns of the older j States of the Ka-t. and a desire to injure i their litieiis are as strong in the late j election of Ohio as tho wish to help the Wet. Ahahfuleff.it of thi. taxation is hown in the destruction of commerce huine. Mr. Seymour charged tho Republican , P11"' w,t d lging the real i..ue of j the.lay, and their leaders with desiring J talk al.ut any thing but the true c.-n-Idltiotl of tilt tltn and thecailses of its tli.trc-s. Inconclusioii Mr. Seymour said : We must retrace our steps. We must have reform. We must be governed by tho loftiest, the purest, the safest statesmanship. It is within the reach of all.

One of tho evils resulting from the introduction of the race tpietioti into polities, in those of the reconstructed States which have a majority of colored voters, is tho impossibility of obtaining jn.-tice in the courts where an ofiender against the law i a negro and hi accuser a white man. In Mississippi, where the most abandoned characters have been placed in official position giving them owerto control the action of grand juris and in many part of Imisiana, it i a n utterly Iiojm-Io undertaking to secure the punishment of anyncgro.except in very rare cases, w ho ha ben guilty of a crime against a w hite citizen.

It is a natural oori.e.iucnce of such a state of affair that citizen who have b.-t n robbed, or w ho find that they have murderer among theni, knowing that th-y can obtain no rcdrcsor protection from the court, should sometime take the law into their own hands. Such

edili are t be condemned, for discriininatinir in re rs are not night pilferers, and in which the discovery of plots to murder and burn are not of iiiifieijnent occurrence. The recent tragedy in Clinton, Louisiana, was a direct reu!t of a state of arc n-ually eoniioscl oi the most ig norant plantation negroes; and their hatred of the whites is so great that tho latter have no possible chance of obtaining justice in the courts. There w as recently a riotous raising of the negroes in that parish, and it was ascertained that John (Jair, a noted colored politician of the worst reputation, was the instigator of it. Then ho induced hi si-ter-iii-law, a woman named Mathews, to attempt the murder of Dr. J. W. Saunders, a prominent citizen. She poisoned him by giving him arsenic in a drink of water, but the dose failed to kill; the woman was arrested, confessed ! her erinte, and declared that she was instigated to the act hv Gair. The latter fled, but w as arrested in Raton Rouge. While on his way to Clinton under guard he was shot by armed men in disguise, and the woman was hanged by the same mob. Now, every body must condemn uch a lawless act a this, though it is evident that those who tok part in the lynching had good reason to lolieve that any attempt to adequately punih the offenders by !"g:il means would reult in failure. Rut before condemning the whole white population of Ixuisiana for au exhibition of mob violence j in which but a few men took part, it will be well to remember that similar ! exhibitions are not unknown in State where the court of jutice are in satis factory operation. It was only tho other day that two brothers, Amos and Isaac Court wright, who were accused of having killnl a sheriff in l'ortage County, Wisconsin, were taken from the jail and lynched; while but a few weeks before a mob said to have been composed of the most substantial citizens of Rellefontaine, Ohio, hanged a man named Sehell on suspicion of having committed a murder, though subse quent development show that he wa probably innocent of the crime. Kven in staid, puritanical. New Hampshire it was w ith groat difficulty that the loading citizens of Pembroke were restrained lately from killing an innoent man against whom they had no evidence, because they choe to act use him of a revolting murder. And, to come nearer home, the brutal murder and mutilation of the late Charles (i. Kelsey at Huntington, Ing Island, with pre'iminanr barbarities in which prominent church memliers aitod as spectator, if not in a more active way, will ! fresh in tho recollection of every reader. The crew of carpet-oaggers and adventurers who.through the illegal interference of President 4irant. have control of the State (lovernment of Ionis'iana, are endeavoring to make political capital out of an outrage w hicli is the legititimate resuit of misgovernnient and judicial corruption ; and they would have the North bt lieve that isolated case like that of (lair's lynching afford proof that the Southern people are ripe for a now rds-llion, and are already engaged in a war of extermination against the freed im n. The truth is that very few, if any. Northern communities would have submitted to tho oppression of thieves and ruffian with half the patience that the jeople of Mississippi ftsd Louisiana have shown. - (rinnin? for a Wager, The first meeting of tho Mite Society of the Second Presbyteri m Church wa held in tho basement of tho church last night. A it had Won previously rumored that a premium wa to Ik given to the most adept in the art of ugly grinning, quite a large and curiou crowd awaited the display of ivories. After some fino singing and a few minutes' general conversation, the class in grinning waa called.

After some contention as to who should grin first, it w a settled, ami one of the partv made a ghastly attempt, which was imitated very well by the second grinmr. The third grimier struck out on a new path, ami gave the audience a bran new grin, whi h none of them had seen before, and was grtited with stamping and clapping.
