A friend writing from DeSoto, Mississippi, to the Memphis Appeal and inclosing an order with cash for one thousaod copies of Douglas great speech, savs: 4 Douelas is flourishing in my part of DeSota county. In this police district, which gives more than one-third of the vote of the county, Breckinridge will not get more than fifty votes ; and we have alwya had from 200 to 250 Democratic majority. Thus you see, that Don el as will" have a majority over Breckinri'lge and Bell both,' of 150 to 200 in my police district." ; - Another one writing from Eurek, Miss., and making a similar order, says: " We are all right down here. Breckinridge men are few and fra between. Old Democrats who have not for a long time talma an active part in politics, are nw warmly enlisted in the work, and intend to fight valiently antir the 6th of November, be the consequences what they may."

The putrid excrvsences. tbey are, of the Democratic party, needing the surgeon's knite, and in very fair way to get it. To our friends we can safely say that if we do not beat Bell in Kentucky, we will run him about as close a race as be ever was put to. We have cleaneil out the " quarter nag, and we intend to finish Mr. Bell. Look out. " Opposition!" It is not Mr. Breckinridge -who is now to be beaten, but the unconquerable Douglas." Alabama. The Hon. Jere Clemens, writing from Hunts ville, Alabama, to his paper, the Memphis Daily Enquirtr, says: " Placing no reliance upon the reports I hear from all parts of tbe State, and judging only from the feelings manifested in this stronghold of tbe Democracy. I tell you, with entire confidence, that you may set down Alabama as lost to Breckinridge. He could not . carry the State to-day, and he will grow weaker from this until November' ;; . We do not believe that Mr. Breckinridge, if he continues to be a candidate, which is very doubt fat. caa carry a single Southern State, with the exception of South Carolina. The tide is setting against bias every where, and be will hardly be heard of except in the chronicles of his defeat. White Laborer, Look Here. Henry Clay, in a letter written to Mr. Colton, bus warns the white laboring man of the dan gers of Abolitionism. Mr.C said: " But the great aim and . object of your tract should be to arouse the LABORING CLASSES in the Free States against Abolition. Depict tbe consequences t them of immediate Abolition. Tbe slaves being free would disperse throughout the Union ; they would enter into corocetitiou with free laborers, with the American, tbe Irish, the German ; rednce hi wages: he confounded with him ; and effect bis moral and social stand log.

The History of the 4wo-Thirds Rule." The regularity of Mr. Douglas' nomination at Baltimore, according" to the usages of the Dem ocratic party, is denied by those who are oppos ed to him. The history of the action of every Democratic Convention since this rule was orgi-anted, proves beyond question or cavil the entire regularity of Mr. Douglas' nomination. We find in the St, Lon Republican, an article ftom the pen of Charlea D. Drake, Esq., which collates all the testimony in the case, and gives from tbe record the action of every Democratic Convention since 1832, when the rule was adopt ed. The writer says: The Rule, from the day of its first adoption in 1832, has required two thirds of all the totes giveny and no man will deny th.it Stephen A. Douglas received far mare than that proportion of all the votes given at Baltimore. It were easily shown, as it has many times been, tbat be received two-thirds of all the votes mfull Con vention" was entitled u cast; but that is not the matter now under consideration. The question is was he nominated iu accordance with the tuaaeof the party? Did he get tbe number of votes required by the ''Two thirds KuU?" - If my position is correct, that the Rule required only two thirds of all the votes given in accordance with the usage of the prty otherwise not. Let us, then, examine the R ile and its history in each of seven De mocratic National C inventions, held prior to this year. : " : coYvsanoN or I832i - Tbe report of the proceedings : of this bodj resorted to, is that found ia N lies' Reiste-, vol, 42, p. 234, V;- ' : ' " : The following resolution was adopted: "Resolved,.

The number of votes given was 254f but if New York bad voted, it would have been 290.

From tbe official jootnal of the proceedings of this body, it appears that the Committee on Or ganisation was instructed to report roles for the Government of the Convention; and that they reported, recommending that the rules and reg stations adopted by tbe National Democratic Convention in 1852.be adopted by this Conven tion for its government; which report was nnan ttnously adoptel; and the "two-lhirds rule, as adopted in 1852, waa continued as the rule in 1856. -:;': :-: : Thus is presented the full history of this remarkable rule, from its first adoption, in 1832. up to the time of the assembling of tbe Charles ton Convention, in April, I860. In tbat period it was adopted six times, and in every instance, excepsthe first, the language is "that two-fAird of the whole number of votes given shall be nec essary to a nomination." The rule as adopted in 1832 said two thirds, of the whole number of votes, in the convention" but the proceedings of this body as above stated, and especially the preamble to the resolution offered by Mr, Jefferson Phelps, leave no doubt tbal the number of votes 'to the Convention was regarded as the game as the namber of votes givea.,r.' , " Tuiet it do rememberea, too, that it was never regarded as necessary that the Convention should be full in order to enable it to make a nomto tioo Ja fact, prior to I860, there bad been on ly two Conventions those of 1843 and 1856-e in which every State was represented.

A correspondent of 4be Scientia American gives aa iateresUng account of wonderful cava at Decorah, lows. . Before entsriag tbe cave the thermometer indicated 83 degrees." Commene. tig the decent, the atmosphere bejan to grow cold very fast, and the party soon began ta sm the frost on tbe walls, "sparkling a the light cf their Umpe like miHione of diamonds." This oae sight i vortb all tbe exhibitions of every day life to the lover of the beaatifal. As we came to our first stopping place wo began to find sec, from a mere flint up to gtx or eight ia ches thick. - Thia part of the cava is in tbe shape of a, wedge; with, tbe email end up, it being about sia feet wide at the base, tie sides drawing to gether overhead about twenty feet high the one tide covered with ice (clear as a crystal) and tbe other with frost. New we bung the thermometer on the wall and waited the result; tbe mercu ry going down gradually to 39 degrees, where it remained. : We also bad a little water in the cup, and after leaving it on the rock for about ten minutes, it became skimmed over wan ice. There is not near the usual amount of ice in the cave that there usually is at this season of the year, and no doubt it is owing to the dryness of tbe season. The present spring and summer, so far, have been very dry in Decorab, and I have noticed tbe more rain we have, the more ice firms in and around the mouth of the cave.' Two years ago there was so much ice in the first fif ty or sixty feet of the cave that we had to cut our steps in it with a batcbet to get down with safety. - A great quantity of rain fell during that season. Garibaldi's Personal Feats at Uelaxzo. The correspondent of the JVaaet thus describe Garibaldi's personal feats daring a chsrge of a tew Neapolitan troopers at Malaxzo. Garibaldi bad only time to step aside, when e horsemen passed sabering right and left. Bt they did not go far, for after tbe first panic the infantry recovered and soon emptied the greater part of their saddles. The cspuia. sergeant, and a private tried to make their es cape, and would bare succeeded but for Gsribal di's personal bravery. . Ue went into the middle of the roab, and, having left his revolvers in the hostlers when be dismounted, be drew bis sword and placed himself ia a position to atop the captain. The only person with him at the time was CspU Missouri, of the Gaipes, who was like wise on foot, but armed with a revolver. ; Rim first shot wounding the horse of theNeapolitsn captain, brought it on its bauncbea, Garibaldi eiaed bold of the bridle, intending to secure the explain as bis prisoner; but the captain answered to the demand to surrender by a blow with bis sword at Garibaldi, who parried and retaliated, cutting the Neapolitan captain with one stroke down the face and neck, and prostrating bins dead at his feet. While Garibaldi was thus engaged in this singlehanded combat, Capt. Missouri sh ot down the sergeant who came to assist the officer. This one despatched, be seized bold of the private whose horse bad been shot, and, when be resisted, shot him also wita another barrel from bis revolver. A Child on Trial for Harder. A correspondent of tbe St. Louis Republican, riling from Carlisle, 111 says that tbe trial of a boy for mnrder is progressing in the Circuit Court at that place, and adds: "The proof shows that Fin ley is not yet eleven years of age. The evidence that he killed his uncle is altogether circumstantial, and very scan, ty indeed. The proof is, that on the 5th of July last, Wren and the boy were left alone together for one or two hours, in a room in a drinking house, and that at the and of that period they were found there Wren dying of wounds and bruises on the head, and the yonng boy sitting or lying on a bench singing. One witness only testified to seeing any act that even cireumstaoti ally suggested that Finley killed bis uncle. He testified tbat as be approached the boose he saw Finley 'striking downwards at something, 'but no evidence that he had anything in bis bands, or that any object or beiog received the blows. There was no evidence of any quarrel between them, or of any motive for the deed. On the contrary, it was proved by the prosecution tbat tbe boy was playing with his undo about three o'clock, and got astraddle of bint ae be lay upon the floor, doing it in a frolicksome way. No testimony waa offered showing that when he was found by the side of his uncle he showed any confusion, or sign of fear, or consciousness of guilt, or desire to escape." , - "" ' Old FaaMons -In South Carolina they follow the old fashions of the English courts.

Around them lay all kinds of nefarians tools; a dark lantern, skeleton keys, burglar's fuse, screws, jimmeys, picks, eta and also a lot of impressions in wax ef the locks of dwellings in tbat city, in New York, and in Boston The implements were all of tbe most perfectly finished kind, while among them was an apparatus, invented by a French man named Ma defer, by which a safe may be blown open with : powder without detonation The burglars accompanied the officers to a Fifu teentb street railroad car, but ontba trip down the Old Doctor attempted to destroy, unseen by bis custodian, a, bundle of letters from noted thieves. Officer Bartholomew seized him, and a tremendous row ensued. Billies were drawn, and the "Doctor" proceeded to use a revolvei, but was stunned by a blew on the bead. After this admonitory lesson be went along very quietly." Tbe theives bad but little money in their pos session- Tfce Science of Crime. . Crime, being a kind of disease, is an epidemic- At one time, ws read of a succession of arsons. Suicides follow each other in quick succession. Sometimes we read of poisonings in the papers of successive weeks. Other horrors come not singly, but in battalions. There is a fascination in great crimes, which leads people to imitate them with an almost irresistable power. Probably the phrenological explanation is as good as any; each organ, ot group of organs, have been exercised to activity by acta of either normal or abnormal action in others- Love excites love; and hatred, bate. Rage kindles rage, not only by opposition, but by sympathy and example. A Quaker in Philadelphia, a few years ago wrote, what be called a -Philosophy of Evil." But his object was to show tbat there waa no evil. It would be better to admit, define, account for it, and settle its laws. We have lota of sciences where is this science? Have wo acquired a great deal knowledge of good and evil? , V": : '-i ' -. ' i. Salt. Among tbe Eastern nations salt is a symbol rf fidelity. A man who has partaken of salt with yon, ia bound to yoo by the laws of hospitality, and thus bread and salt are eaten at the ratification of a bargain or treaty, to make it binding on all parties. Salt is also an emblem of desolation; conquered cities were sown with salt-la Scotland and Ireland salt appears to have been considered to represent the incorruptible spirit, and was therefore laid over the heart of a corpse, and ia some cases a platter waa so placed, containing a small portion of salt and earth unmixed, the one to represent tbe immortal and the other the mortal part. In former days, when it waa the custom for all tbe household of a nobis man or gentleman to dine to-gether, the largo alt cellar whicb was placed in tbe middle of the table, was the boundary of distinction between the family and the menials. snewsswswMaM sBMeasBjsjaanaMmvaBaMBswassc, : .

H. B. Payne, Gen. Vallandig-ham, Hon. S. S. Cox, Judge Warden, Msj. Stam-baugb, and other distinguished Democrats, who have been stumping in different parts of tbe State, report that nothing could exceed the enthusiasm and promise in the signs of tbe times. The mass meetings are unprecedented in sixe and good feeliag. There is a perfect uprising of tbe masses af the people for Douglas. Honse and Garaen. This is the title of a new Family Journal, to be published at Cleveland, by Thomas Brown, of the Ohio Farmer. It will be issued monthly, each number containing 16 large octavo pages. It will contain stories, poetry, gems, a depart, meet for children, besides the principal matters about fruits, vegetables, flowers, bees, insects, poultry, recipes, fashions. Sic No man in the country is better qualified than Mr. Brown to get np such a paper as he proposes publishing. Terms : Single copy 50 cents a year. Address Thomas Brown, Cleveland, Ohio. . Douglas in Hi siisslppi. A friend writing from DeSoto, Mississippi, to the Memphis Appeal and inclosing an order with cash for one thousaod copies of Douglas great speech, savs: 4 Douelas is flourishing in my part of DeSota county. In this police district, which gives more than one-third of the vote of the county, Breckinridge will not get more than fifty votes ; and we have alwya had from 200 to 250 Democratic majority. Thus you see, that Don el as will" have a majority over Breckinri'lge and Bell both,' of 150 to 200 in my police district." ; - Another one writing from Eurek, Miss., and making a similar order, says: " We are all right down here. Breckinridge men are few and fra between. Old Democrats who have not for a long time talma an active part in politics, are nw warmly enlisted in the work, and intend to fight valiently antir the 6th of November, be the consequences what they may." " Songlaa in Eentockj. . -. - The Louisville Democrat ii enthusiastic'in regard to the prospects of Judge Douglas in Kentucky. It sjs: - - " It caonoi Be denied wow ia btentacky. thai Siepbeu A. Douglas is the caudidate who represents the leeliug. not of one half but of tneteen twentieths of the cUizens of the State. Were Bellut of the way. the whole Union party, with a few exceptions, would go fr Douglas. Were Breckinridge out of the way, we would command the strength of all- bis friends except thuee who oppose the Democratic party out of animosity to Douglas such men as StlvertooiU and Cravens, who lack courtesy as much as common srne. The putrid excrvsences. tbey are, of the Democratic party, needing the surgeon's knite, and in very fair way to get it. To our friends we can safely say that if we do not beat Bell in Kentucky, we will run him about as close a race as be ever was put to. We have cleaneil out the " quarter nag, and we intend to finish Mr. Bell. Look out. " Opposition!" It is not Mr. Breckinridge -who is now to be beaten, but the unconquerable Douglas." Alabama. The Hon. Jere Clemens, writing from Hunts ville, Alabama, to his paper, the Memphis Daily Enquirtr, says: " Placing no reliance upon the reports I hear from all parts of tbe State, and judging only from the feelings manifested in this stronghold of tbe Democracy. I tell you, with entire confidence, that you may set down Alabama as lost to Breckinridge. He could not . carry the State to-day, and he will grow weaker from this until November' ;; . We do not believe that Mr. Breckinridge, if he continues to be a candidate, which is very doubt fat. caa carry a single Southern State, with the exception of South Carolina. The tide is setting against bias every where, and be will hardly be heard of except in the chronicles of his defeat. White Laborer, Look Here. Henry Clay, in a letter written to Mr. Colton, bus warns the white laboring man of the dan gers of Abolitionism. Mr.C said: " But the great aim and . object of your tract should be to arouse the LABORING CLASSES in the Free States against Abolition. Depict tbe consequences t them of immediate Abolition. Tbe slaves being free would disperse throughout the Union ; they would enter into corocetitiou with free laborers, with the American, tbe Irish, the German ; rednce hi wages: he confounded with him ; and effect bis moral and social stand log. And ns tbe wltraa go Cor both Abolition and Amalgamation, snow tbetr tbect is to unite n marriage tbe laboring man to the derpieed and degraded condition of tbe black man."

The History of the 4wo-Thirds Rule." The regularity of Mr. Douglas' nomination at Baltimore, according" to the usages of the Dem ocratic party, is denied by those who are oppos ed to him. The history of the action of every Democratic Convention since this rule was orgi-anted, proves beyond question or cavil the entire regularity of Mr. Douglas' nomination. We find in the St, Lon Republican, an article ftom the pen of Charlea D. Drake, Esq., which collates all the testimony in the case, and gives from tbe record the action of every Democratic Convention since 1832, when the rule was adopt ed. The writer says: The Rule, from the day of its first adoption in 1832, has required two thirds of all the totes giveny and no man will deny th.it Stephen A. Douglas received far mare than that proportion of all the votes given at Baltimore. It were easily shown, as it has many times been, tbat be received two-thirds of all the votes mfull Con vention" was entitled u cast; but that is not the matter now under consideration. The question is was he nominated iu accordance with the tuaaeof the party? Did he get tbe number of votes required by the ''Two thirds KuU?" - If my position is correct, that the Rule required only two thirds of all the votes given in accordance with the usage of the prty otherwise not. Let us, then, examine the R ile and its history in each of seven De mocratic National C inventions, held prior to this year. : " : coYvsanoN or I832i - Tbe report of the proceedings : of this bodj resorted to, is that found ia N lies' Reiste-, vol, 42, p. 234, V;- ' : ' " : The following resolution was adopted: "Resolved,.

' '" Mr. CreUbtoe, of Ohio, moved to reconsider the vote by which the second resolution reported by the Committee on Organisation was adopted. A motion was made to lay tbe motion to recon sider on the table. - On the demand of the State of Maryland, the qnestton was taken by Mates, and tne vote resul ted as follows: Ayes 269, nays 13. . cohvrstios or 1856. From tbe official jootnal of the proceedings of this body, it appears that the Committee on Or ganisation was instructed to report roles for the Government of the Convention; and that they reported, recommending that the rules and reg stations adopted by tbe National Democratic Convention in 1852.be adopted by this Conven tion for its government; which report was nnan ttnously adoptel; and the "two-lhirds rule, as adopted in 1852, waa continued as the rule in 1856. -:;': :-: : Thus is presented the full history of this remarkable rule, from its first adoption, in 1832. up to the time of the assembling of tbe Charles ton Convention, in April, I860. In tbat period it was adopted six times, and in every instance, excepsthe first, the language is "that two-fAird of the whole number of votes given shall be nec essary to a nomination." The rule as adopted in 1832 said two thirds, of the whole number of votes, in the convention" but the proceedings of this body as above stated, and especially the preamble to the resolution offered by Mr, Jefferson Phelps, leave no doubt tbal the number of votes 'to the Convention was regarded as the game as the namber of votes givea.,r.' , " Tuiet it do rememberea, too, that it was never regarded as necessary that the Convention should be full in order to enable it to make a nomto tioo Ja fact, prior to I860, there bad been on ly two Conventions those of 1843 and 1856-e in which every State was represented. In 1832 Missouri; in 1835, SoQlb Carolina, Alabama and Illinois; in ,1840, Connecticut, .Delaware, Virginia, Souib Carolina, and Illinois; abd ia 1844 and 1852, South Carolina were not represented by any delegate la the Democratic Rational Con vention. . ! . , .... ... :. la view of ftbe.&ct thus presented, no iotelli gent and npriht man eaa alhere to the position that the two-thirds rule waa violated by -the Convention tfiat nominated.

A correspondent of 4be Scientia American gives aa iateresUng account of wonderful cava at Decorah, lows. . Before entsriag tbe cave the thermometer indicated 83 degrees." Commene. tig the decent, the atmosphere bejan to grow cold very fast, and the party soon began ta sm the frost on tbe walls, "sparkling a the light cf their Umpe like miHione of diamonds." This oae sight i vortb all tbe exhibitions of every day life to the lover of the beaatifal. As we came to our first stopping place wo began to find sec, from a mere flint up to gtx or eight ia ches thick. - Thia part of the cava is in tbe shape of a, wedge; with, tbe email end up, it being about sia feet wide at the base, tie sides drawing to gether overhead about twenty feet high the one tide covered with ice (clear as a crystal) and tbe other with frost. New we bung the thermometer on the wall and waited the result; tbe mercu ry going down gradually to 39 degrees, where it remained. : We also bad a little water in the cup, and after leaving it on the rock for about ten minutes, it became skimmed over wan ice. There is not near the usual amount of ice in the cave that there usually is at this season of the year, and no doubt it is owing to the dryness of tbe season. The present spring and summer, so far, have been very dry in Decorab, and I have noticed tbe more rain we have, the more ice firms in and around the mouth of the cave.' Two years ago there was so much ice in the first fif ty or sixty feet of the cave that we had to cut our steps in it with a batcbet to get down with safety. - A great quantity of rain fell during that season. Garibaldi's Personal Feats at Uelaxzo. The correspondent of the JVaaet thus describe Garibaldi's personal feats daring a chsrge of a tew Neapolitan troopers at Malaxzo. Garibaldi bad only time to step aside, when e horsemen passed sabering right and left. Bt they did not go far, for after tbe first panic the infantry recovered and soon emptied the greater part of their saddles. The cspuia. sergeant, and a private tried to make their es cape, and would bare succeeded but for Gsribal di's personal bravery. . Ue went into the middle of the roab, and, having left his revolvers in the hostlers when be dismounted, be drew bis sword and placed himself ia a position to atop the captain. The only person with him at the time was CspU Missouri, of the Gaipes, who was like wise on foot, but armed with a revolver. ; Rim first shot wounding the horse of theNeapolitsn captain, brought it on its bauncbea, Garibaldi eiaed bold of the bridle, intending to secure the explain as bis prisoner; but the captain answered to the demand to surrender by a blow with bis sword at Garibaldi, who parried and retaliated, cutting the Neapolitan captain with one stroke down the face and neck, and prostrating bins dead at his feet. While Garibaldi was thus engaged in this singlehanded combat, Capt. Missouri sh ot down the sergeant who came to assist the officer. This one despatched, be seized bold of the private whose horse bad been shot, and, when be resisted, shot him also wita another barrel from bis revolver. A Child on Trial for Harder. A correspondent of tbe St. Louis Republican, riling from Carlisle, 111 says that tbe trial of a boy for mnrder is progressing in the Circuit Court at that place, and adds: "The proof shows that Fin ley is not yet eleven years of age. The evidence that he killed his uncle is altogether circumstantial, and very scan, ty indeed. The proof is, that on the 5th of July last, Wren and the boy were left alone together for one or two hours, in a room in a drinking house, and that at the and of that period they were found there Wren dying of wounds and bruises on the head, and the yonng boy sitting or lying on a bench singing. One witness only testified to seeing any act that even cireumstaoti ally suggested that Finley killed bis uncle. He testified tbat as be approached the boose he saw Finley 'striking downwards at something, 'but no evidence that he had anything in bis bands, or that any object or beiog received the blows. There was no evidence of any quarrel between them, or of any motive for the deed. On the contrary, it was proved by the prosecution tbat tbe boy was playing with his undo about three o'clock, and got astraddle of bint ae be lay upon the floor, doing it in a frolicksome way. No testimony waa offered showing that when he was found by the side of his uncle he showed any confusion, or sign of fear, or consciousness of guilt, or desire to escape." , - "" ' Old FaaMons -In South Carolina they follow the old fashions of the English courts. The prisoner on trial for a criminal offence is placed in "tbe dock" aa elevated seat about six feet eqaar, railed in, so that be is above and visible all over the court. Tbe prisoners awaiting trial are ranged on seats inside the bar," or within just rucb a railing as ia some of oor courts divides cfl the members of the bar from the general audience.

Bayard Taylor, who baa been traveling on tbe Grand Trunk railroad, gives the following do scriptioo of the famous Victoria Bridge: M Tbe immeosn struct are Impresses yon by tbe figures rather than by Ita appearance. Its great legtb takes away from ita apparent height and bulk and length, I have observed, is the least effective element in architecture. Yon would naturally describe it as a very long bridge. You nrast know the depth of the river, iu rapidity, the dimensions of the piers, the tuns of granite, the span of the tubes, the amount of iron, the labor and the cost, before you can properly ap preciate tbe work. Then notice the speed of tbe train take out your watch and count the minutes, after plunging into the dark, roaring rattling tunnel. One twothree; and still the narrow windows flit past yoo four five ; and still your ears are atnaned with the sharp rever berations of the iron tubes fptfaaJa half, and yoo emerge into daylight. Montreal, where yon made your plunge, now lies in tbe sunshiny dis tance, with two miles of the St. Lawrence be twee a. Then you at least realize that this bridge is one of the wonders of tbe age." Arrest of a Hoted Ko)ber. In Philadelphia, on Saturday morning, the police arrested a notorious burglar, known aa the "Old Doctor sad by various aliases. When arrested he was in company with another of his fraternity, devising the robbery of a bank ia New Jersey, and a letter was taken from him, in which the plan of operations waa detailed. Around them lay all kinds of nefarians tools; a dark lantern, skeleton keys, burglar's fuse, screws, jimmeys, picks, eta and also a lot of impressions in wax ef the locks of dwellings in tbat city, in New York, and in Boston The implements were all of tbe most perfectly finished kind, while among them was an apparatus, invented by a French man named Ma defer, by which a safe may be blown open with : powder without detonation The burglars accompanied the officers to a Fifu teentb street railroad car, but ontba trip down the Old Doctor attempted to destroy, unseen by bis custodian, a, bundle of letters from noted thieves. Officer Bartholomew seized him, and a tremendous row ensued. Billies were drawn, and the "Doctor" proceeded to use a revolvei, but was stunned by a blew on the bead. After this admonitory lesson be went along very quietly." Tbe theives bad but little money in their pos session- Tfce Science of Crime. . Crime, being a kind of disease, is an epidemic- At one time, ws read of a succession of arsons. Suicides follow each other in quick succession. Sometimes we read of poisonings in the papers of successive weeks. Other horrors come not singly, but in battalions. There is a fascination in great crimes, which leads people to imitate them with an almost irresistable power. Probably the phrenological explanation is as good as any; each organ, ot group of organs, have been exercised to activity by acta of either normal or abnormal action in others- Love excites love; and hatred, bate. Rage kindles rage, not only by opposition, but by sympathy and example. A Quaker in Philadelphia, a few years ago wrote, what be called a -Philosophy of Evil." But his object was to show tbat there waa no evil. It would be better to admit, define, account for it, and settle its laws. We have lota of sciences where is this science? Have wo acquired a great deal knowledge of good and evil? , V": : '-i ' -. ' i. Salt. Among tbe Eastern nations salt is a symbol rf fidelity. A man who has partaken of salt with yon, ia bound to yoo by the laws of hospitality, and thus bread and salt are eaten at the ratification of a bargain or treaty, to make it binding on all parties. Salt is also an emblem of desolation; conquered cities were sown with salt-la Scotland and Ireland salt appears to have been considered to represent the incorruptible spirit, and was therefore laid over the heart of a corpse, and ia some cases a platter waa so placed, containing a small portion of salt and earth unmixed, the one to represent tbe immortal and the other the mortal part. In former days, when it waa the custom for all tbe household of a nobis man or gentleman to dine to-gether, the largo alt cellar whicb was placed in tbe middle of the table, was the boundary of distinction between the family and the menials. snewsswswMaM sBMeasBjsjaanaMmvaBaMBswassc, : .
