This waft a signal for a largo crowd to gather at tlie sceiio of trouieLowis’s.compaaidu eatne to his rcsciie.and a t-Trilde riot took place between ttio colored men on one side, and tlie crowd, Supposed to bo all strikers, on tlie oi lier. The two sides fought desperately and cr with their knives at close quarters fur several minutes, when the negroes made a dash ihrougli the crowd for their boarding house. They Were followed by the booling, bloodll irsty crowd, whicli by this time uiimbeicdut least two thousand men, including many women and children. Tho crowd fired t.nd t.hfoW stones ut the deeine negroes, mid iheyTo-tnen returned the liro on tho crowd, an i how so many escaped instant death is a wonder. When tho colored men reached their house they ran iu and barred the door. I u a minute tlie liouso was surrounde I by an Infuriated crowd, who soon toro down tlie fence and shattered every window with stones. When tfietlcputfes arrived some persons were suggesting that they leave Ihe house, and some begairto yell: “Lot’s lynch the nigger black stieep. This was taken up, and the cries o f “Tlang them:” were heard on all sides. The officers went in to arrest the colore I mem and found, them huddled in one room, terrified :.nd expecting to be killed. One man, bowe.v ;r, was not afraid and sa’d lie would bo the- first to leave. As he was taken out a woman tilt him with a frying pan.eult.ing hit head.

Several doputies then arrived, thus keeping tlie crowd back for an Hour, when It dispersed. After all tho colored men had been removed from the boardiug house tlie excitement subsided rapidly.

Katlve Old Girlish. Du Cha'llu has forgotten or neglected the evidence of language, writes Professor F. A. Marsn in the Epoch. We have abundant written documents in what Is now called Anglo-Saxoa, big books of all sorts, which are certainly known to have been written by natives of England in their nutlve tongue. They reach b ck to an earlier date tuan nny manuscripts of the Northmen. This native old English is as plainly not Norse or other Scandinavian as tlie present English, and it is as plainly German Saxon us the Biglow papers are English. It is incredible that those who spoke it should not be mainly of German Saxon descent. Doubtless notable traits of the Viking are to be seen in tho English speaking peoples. Hut these are easily explain’ed from the well-known mixture of uunish and of Norm n blood in the latter periods. We do not need to deny or forget our Saxon blood to feci the liveliest iuterest In our cousins ol the North. Maud -Ho asked me to marry him but said he had only a broken heart to offer me.

A JACKKNIFE GENIUS.

Queer Things Carved Out of Solid Blocks of Wood. Almost twelve years ago' Alfred Armstrong, a resident of Lake Village, pave up all ordinary pursuits and began to devote his entire time and energies to the carving from solid blocks of wood with no other tool than an ordinary jackknife. From the fashioning of small toys he turned bis attention to carving likenesses of everything that presented itself fora nrodet, from solid blocks of wood,, carefully preserving every specimen of his handiwork, whelber good, bid or indifferent. Within the past five years his oldest son, who inherits his father’s peculiar inclination, developed such ingenuity and patience that lie. too. graduated from common labor, and united with his father with equally patient devotipu in his original craft. To-day they have a big tent full of curiosities and travel about the country ut the beaches and fairs exhibiting their museum of wooden wonders with financl 1 returns which are not nearly proportionate to the patience and toil vvhich their curiosities represent. Some are handsomely ornamental and all would find ready sale as toys, but to tbo o wner they are treasures beyond’ price, and he can not be induced to part with even the most insignificant, and. as ho continually keeps up his whittling, his stock of curiosities is. constantly increasing. No painter or sculptor was ever more wrapped up in his art or move enthusiastic over his productions than this old fellow, now about 65 vears of age, who has been in poverty all his life, -and-who doesn't appear ambitious to better his condition. - Among his curiosities are all sorts of puzzles cut out or put together in small-nec'ted bottles, in one is a man sawing wood, with saw and saw horse which close y fill tlie space of the bottle. In another is a yoke of cattle neatly carved, with a man standing beside them. In another is a ship, and in another a house. How these things got inside the bottles is an inexplicable puzzle to those who have looked over the old man’s collection, nni he does not give any light upon the matter. Besides these puzzles and his wooden menagerie are houses wlvch are almost big enough for dog kennels, and which might almost serve as methods of modern architecture, all of onepiece and carved from a solid block. ! There are also boxes and cases qom* posed of hundreds of different kinds of woods, firmly inlaid and finely finished. The most remarkable piece of This kind of work is a violin case made of 2,036 pieces of wood of 106 different kinds. Of his puzzles, perhaps the moat mysterious is a big snake inn le a glass jar, cut out in a coll which completely fills the inside. The neck of this jar is perhaps 1 inch in diameter, and a big wooden stopple is put down through and locked underneath with a wooden pin. One of his best carvings is a yoke of oxen hitched to a hayrack, in which rides a man. The whole thing is about 3 feet in length and half as high, and. like all his other works, was cut out of solid block, even to the rack and cart wheels.

The New Religion.

The new religion which was ventilated daring thw ioternatimiai' areas of spintidts and spiritualists, in T arts, says the London Telegraph, has been lost sight of in the reports of tho assembly, but it deserves a few lines as a novelty. It is a compound of Judiasm and Christianity, and its apostle is a priest, the Abbe Iloco , who has been suspended by hTsUFsTiop as being heretic i, but who, like Fere Hyaointhe, insisted that he did not want to leave the real true church ns It existed according to his own lights and convictions. The abbe appeared at the congress in a serai-ecclesiastical' costume, nd whlle most of the speakers were curtailed he was allowed full leave and license to pound away with his exposition of doctrine, and his terrible ful*ruinations against what he called the Vatican Christ. According to the nbbe, ■very man was an involunt ry Christ —a deity, in fact. 1 here was a ChrisV medium, St Paul, St. Luke and the Prophet Isaiah being also of that order. Spiritualists, he contended, could well afford to adopt this religion of the general Christ, since it was in consonance with their doctrines.

A Boston Tragedy.

‘‘Clara,” he exclaimed, laying his hand upon his car.liac region, “I have long looked forward to this opportunity to tell you that I love you with all the ardor of a nature free from guile and duplicity. Say the little word, Clara, which shall make me the happiest of men. Or if your m ideh modesty seals your ruby lips, give me some keep-iake Which shall mutely say th t my love is returned, nd which shall be a constant reminder of this my hour of happiness. Stay! Let it be one of your golden tresses, just me little lock of your fragrant hair;” Clara blushed, and seeing that George took up the scissors from the table, she mqmured: ‘‘Nay, George, never mind the scissors; here it is (and she removed an affluent switch): take it; it cost me $lO, but such love as yours is worth far more than that”

If Professor Lombroso keeps on with his indictments against women ne will soon have exhausted the category and his apparently congenial iccupation will be gone. His latest Jiargc against the sex comes in the orm of an alteration of the proverb Miat “ail men are liars,” to muke it appear that the prevarication of the world should be laid at woman’s toor. A woman's lie is usually a zery colorless affair, in which no deeit is intended and by which no one s deceived. But what about the rnble hue ot the falsehoods which ■uke the form of business swindles, lishonesty in trade, and what of the rigantic scope of the campaign lies ust now illustrating forcibly the ruth of Prof. Lombroso's chivalrous heories. ■ One of tbe purposes of the woman’s ■hare in the Columbian Fair, and lerliuDS not the least important, is that the exhibits shall demonstrate

that women have bad through tlm ages greater originality and inventiveness than they have been accred. ited with. Among the primitive pupila women were the originators, it is Claimed, of industrial arts, and it wap only after tbexr became lucrative that men usurped them. Women de-’ vised tho dressing and curing of game, and the fashioning of the skins of animals into garments. Women invented the needle, the shuttle, the weaving of textiles. She was the first potter, and she originated basket making. There will be shown, as, illustration of the influence of women ' during mediaeval times,'a copy of the old Bayeux tapestry mad& by Matilda of Flanders and her maidens, which is the best and most authentic history of the conquest of England by her husband William the Conqueror; reproductions of the statues of Salina yon Jsteinbach. danghter and assistant of the architect of cathedral. To her is aseribed the change from the stiff mediaeval angles to the graceful flowing lines that followed; and of the remarkable book prepared in the twelfth century by the Abbess of Herrad, which contained a compendium of all tSiTmow ledge of the day. illustrated by ilium nations, and considered by many to be the origin of the modern encyclopedia. There will be records, too, of the women who were professors in the early Italian universities, and many other things of interest illustrative of woman’s early prowess, and proving that the present uprising in the ranks is only the natural force of the stream seeking its level, and not at all a new departure.

There is a little paragraph going the rounds and appearing with more or, less regularity in the papers to the effect that Madjeska says that one reason why she preserves her beauty is that she husbands her emotions, for where a woman is" beginning to get old she cannot afford to be glad or sad as in her youth. To some one who questioned * her concerning it, the still beautiful actress answered: “Modjeskaeconomical of her emotions —why, I am not even economical with my money. I am the veriest spendthrift that ever lived of smiles and tears and dollars., It is that I have still retained the power ’to feet everything, whether glad or sad, most intensely, to laugh and cry within the same moment, almost, that keeps me young. Youth is not careful for anything, but wastes itself on every emotion, sure of the fulness of its fount of feeling.”
