Doujjlasville, in this State, was waylaid at the

r.lleced, by a man named George Gutin, and
dreadfully beaten about the betid, face, and

place it was thoueht that Wesner had been
killed, and much excitement, in consequence,
prevailed in the neighborhood. Durinsr, tue con

The first Council of the CUrlstiau Church met at
Jerusalem iu the fiftieth year ( f our Lord in
order to cbtablifb. the conditions ou whicu Gen

was then decided that such converts should not
undergo preliminary circumcision, nor be sub

Brazilians and their Habits.
A Brazil correspondent of the SU Louis He"
pulihron says:
The person who meets with a sudden or a
violent death in Itraell, cither by accident or
murder, Is buried by the wayside, near where
the event happened, and a cross is set up at
the end of the crave. To this cross, as the
emblem of his faith everywhere, the Brazilian
lifts his hat in passing, and it is a beautiful cus
tom of the people to hann this love memento
with flowers and garlands. I frequently pass
such a cross near this city where a man was
murdered o loujr ago that but few remember
the circumstances, yet pious and uusecu bauds
were always decking this waysido cross with
wreaths and roes.
Kundajs Djiuingos or Lord's days, as the
Brazilians call them pass with mauy of them
aimost like any other day, occupying them in
their usual avocations. It Is true that Ihere Is
always Church service, and the Catholic creed
recoenlzts Hundays hs sacred days. But It
would be painful to many persons iu the United
States, to see the little regard which Is paid by
the common run of persons, many of whom
l ever a'tend church except on some Rreat occa
sion. There are not wanting individual, how
ever, who deplore this state of tbings, aud write
aud talk on the subject, la the hope of teaching
a better sta'e of things.
After a warm day one that would be n hot
day in Missouri, uninfluenced there by the sea
breeze, the nlcht tails cool aud refreshing with
a balmy air, which seems l:ke exhilarating gas
to the luncs. We seldom or never have sultry
n'chtsthe atmosphere is not stagnant, and
the glorious stars look down to-oinht from a
clear sky, which is as pure as Northern Winter,
but warmed into life by perpetual Spring.
Later to-night comes up the moon, and I
think that Brazilian moonlights are magnificent
more beautiful than day never coldly chaste
nor sweating hot, but forever the calm, fresh
light of day, only a little shaded: and the heart
palpitates under the change with all the affec
tions that it can gather aiound it. Nature doo
not teem to sleep only meditates; and heaven
and earth whisper mysteriously to each other.
The Brazilians have their superstitions about
the moon aud its lufluencc, like many Kropean
nations. Many agricultural operations are regu
lated by the light or the dark of the moon. But
1 have been amused to find some of the btst
families, who believe strongly In a vermifuge
nostrum which I prepare thera for their chil
dren and negroes; but they delay giving it till
tbe decay ot the moon luaminyoenia. What
influence the moon can have on in'testinnl worms
passes my comprehension: but they wait till the
morn is on the wane, so that the worms will be
w eaker and the remedy "push down wars forte!"
When the Brazilians ride arvlo a cavaiio, or
walk a horseback, ns they say they gallop. It
is tbe only condition In which they seem to be
in a bnrry. The stately gait ot our roadsters is
dUgiiitlul to them-too much like the laborious
tread of the tropeiros. On the campos ground
on the route to the coantry church the only
gait which pleases the cavalleiros is an Ii.dian
lope, in which the hoise does not get over the
ground latd, but makes great pretensions.
In all Brazilisn primary schools, Thursday,
instead of Saturday, as with us, is the day of
rCft; so that the days of stidy arj more equally
divided iu the week. The whole school gene
rally "study loud" during school hours, so that
it resembles a Babel of confusion; but the
scholais seem to learn with facility. Monday
the teaching is oral; and many times I notice
monitors at the head of the classes, like the
Luucnsterian system. The sexes are taught in
separate schools, with male and female teachers,
who are paid by tbe Government, so that edu
cation is free Teachers hold a responsible
rank in the community, and ns a reward for a
well earned reputation, at the end of some
twenty years' service, they are aposentado, or
pensioned lor the ret of their lives. Tbe same
thing takes place in other public employments.
The Beetles in Utah.
The Austin (Nevada) lieveiHe cives the follow
iir 'ecriptiou of this formidable and dreadful
plague:
IJtnh is not oxilv Tdiiiruecl wltTi locnuts. hnt
witli an insect called tlie "elephant beetle." A
reliable person wno returned from tne neign-
borhood of pnlt Lake last week saw myriads of
them covering the earth with their shining
brownish black bodies ana destroying every
thing which they met in their path. Even small
animals, he was iufoimed by the ill-fated resi
dents, did not escape the voracity of these
hordes: their bodies were crowded upon, and
worried and wouuded cruelly with the powerlul
antenna; until they loll down exhausted by their
struggles and loss of blood, when they were
lastcned upou by tnousands aua devoured.
Tbe entire carcass of a sheep was eaten and
the bones picked clean in two minutes and a
quarter; and it la said mat a oeaa ox would oe
gobbled up bv them in a quarter of an hour.
to ferocious are these giaut beetles that mothers
are alraid to let their little children go out of
tbe house unattended by a crown person. In
their freouent bloody contests the wounded are
devoured ou the instant. Oar informant says
thtv are about tour inches long, with leas thieo
inclivs ions; their antenna) are still, snarp, arid
lull tour iuches long; they have a short tail
armed with a powerful horn, and their shells
ore so bard that the weight of a man will
scarcely crush thera. They are very frisky at
times, ana jump wun iae aginry oi neas.
No other species of the beetle possesses their
faculty of uttering a loud sound, which, mad
bv thorn amis ot the in at once, resembles tin
brajiug ot a band of jackasses. Their nols !
tcirlfied the horses of our informant aud his
companion, who could not be kept upon the
plain, so great was tneir irigni. un one occa
sion while they were riding iii a valley that was
black with beetles, aud crushing them under
their holes' hoofs, when their hard cases
would crack with a report like a rule, the
lieice insects showed a disposition to attack
tne iioes, aru fauiy (trove mum out oi tue
field. We were iulormed that a scientific man
in Bait Lake City was collecting specimens
of this formidable elephant beetle lor trans
mission to various learned institutions of the
country.
Ozone.
This remarkable substance, discovered by
t?cbunbcin in 1840, has lately been the subject
oi numerous researches. Gaignanl says:
"Our readers know that when air or oxygen i
traversed by friqueutelectricspaiks, it acquires
a certain bu.ell i-iuiilttr to that which is some
times observed after a storm, or even a strong
flush cf lightning. It was generally admitted
by our foielathtik that when the Kvil One did
inoituls the honor of pajiug them a visit, his
exit was always marked by a smell ot urnnsioie,
that being very like tbe odor we are alluding to

FOREIGN ITEMS.
The Alhenaum has made a very amnslng
discovery. A certain "Max., Baron too
Alvensleben, late lieutenant in the Imperial
Mexican Army," has published a book, under
the title of "With Maximilian in Mexioo."
By a singular coincidence many of the real
adventures of the "Baron" are identical with
the imaginary adventures f one of Bulwer's
heroes, "Devereux." Still more remarkable,
the adventures are described in almost exactly
the same words. It has been often said that
fact is stranger than fiction, bat this is the
first time we have heard of their being identioal.
Some persons will be skeptical, we suspect, for
this is a skeptical age, and will think that
both narratives are fictitious, "Devereux"
being the original and "Alvensleben" a poor
copy.
Mr. Disraeli's first peer, Viscount Brid
port, enjoys a somewhat exceptional honor,
lie exchanges a barony in the peerage of Ire
land (an honor which confers no right to a
seat in the House of Lords) for a visoountcy.
As a rule an Irish earl or viscount is content
with the lowest order in the English Peerage
a barony. For instance, the Earl of Duuraren
sits as Baron Kenry. Viscount Monok as
Baron Monck, and Viscount Boyne as Baron
Brancepeth. During a little over thirty-five
years, Z Irish and 16 Scotch peers have been
created lords of the United Kingdom.
In a letter to the DaihiNcws Mr. Trevelyau
says that the proportion of officers to men is,
in the British army, 1 officer to 28 men; French
army, 1 officer to ii3 men; Austrian army, 1
officer to 40 men; Prussian army, 1 oflloer to
4'J men; British Artillery, 1 officer to 35 men.
At a special general meeting of the Lon
don University College, Prcfesaor Orote, the
historian of Qreece, was elected President, in
the room of Lord Brougham, deceased. The
high literary attainments and position of Mr.
Grote eminently fit him for this distinguished
poBt.
The Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who is
well known as a musical composer, intends to
suppress the management of the theatre at
Gotha, and to undertake the management
himself.
An association of ladies has been formed
for the purpose of collecting subscriptions from
y "person" who may wish to contribute to
the expenses of Mr. Mill's election for West
minster. Mr. Wyse, of Cork, the "eminent" whisky
distiller, has contributed X200U to make up
the sum of XVI, 001.) required to complete the
restoration of the cathedral in that city.
