A negro preacher down in Richmone
Re*. Jasper, has proven from the Bibb
to the satisfaction of his flock and hi
own self, that the world ia flat like
Johnny cake and not round, that th
son moves around the earth and not the
earth around the sun, otherw'se all tin
water of the seas would be spilled out
over the land. Rev. Johnny-cake Jas
per thinks philosophers and astrono
mers are all wrong, and that in spite ot
them the world is flat and 1/stands still.
When he got through with his sermon
he took a vote, and all who believed
that he was right were told to hold up
their hands, and all tne hands of his
sable hearers went up, and he proved
his flat ideas unanimously. Jasper
cited Job—and now its the two J's, and
who is going to withstand them ? We
fear Jasper has started up a new ques
tion that will knock the he'll question
off the course and out of the New York
pulpits, which will then have to preach
on the pancake or orange form of mother
earth—Jasper and Job on one side and
Cameron's d—n library fellers on the
other.
The ffrrald says: Relations between
England and Russia are so strained at
the present moment as to be somewhat
more than critical. They are at the ex
treme point of tension consistent with
the preservation of peace, and in the ex
aggerated susceptibilities of the moment
a rupture may result any day apparent
ly as a consequence of events that at
other times would be regarded as trivial
For two years now these government*
have played at cross purposes with one
another, and England has certainly no
occasion to congratulate herself on the
results Her diplomacy through all
the difficult and delicate negotiation*
that have followed one another so close
ly, has been always at fault. From the
rejection of the Berlin memorandum in
May, 1876, down to the sending of the
fleet into the Sea of Marmora, every act
was a blunder Eng-
land's preparation seems to indicate a
decision to fight, and it it apparently in
terpreted that way in Russia; for the de
mand that her fleet shall be withdrawn
from the Sea of Marmora is only pre
sented now as a ground for Russian ac
tion. England will refuse to withdraw,
and thereupon the Russians will occupy
Constantinople. If the English occupy
the other aide of the strait, with the in
tention to ultimately create there a new
Gibraltar, they will find that a game at
which two can play, and that Russia s
not Spain.
Secretary Sherman is fast becoming
notorious Jjr being on all sides of every
thing. Some years ago be was for paper
money to pay the bonds, and this winter
the opposite and opposed to the silver
bill. Since the passage of the latter he
has become ailverish again, and pre
dicts it wiil prove all right.
The Cincinnati Enquirer's special in
giving the views of various Senators, of
the hard monev type, says :
"There's nothing extraordinary in it,"
■aid the incorrigible Eaton, "there never
was a question that Sherman has not
been upon all sides of."
Bayard told Nevada Jones an anecdote
of the late Thaddeus Stevens. When
questioned why he insisted so resolute
ly that there should be thirteen articles
of impeachment against Andrew John
son, Stevens repliet}: "I only want an
odd number, so as to get JohnSherman's
vote. He will be sure to vote for six
and against six; but if we have thirteen
we shall catch him on the odd one,

TOP KXOTCOtiE non .v.
It was a long time ago not within the
recollection of any reader of the Repor
ter—that wearing hair in top kneta was
rnn into extremes and excited as much
ridicule as hoop-skirts, waterfalls,stand
up-collars and cheap jewelry did in our
day. A minister ol the gospel thought
the top-knot fashion iireligious, and an
nounced that he would preach against it
and from a text direct to the point. He
announced as his text the words, "Top
knot come down," which was the lattci
clause of the verse in the New Testament
which reads, "And let hiin that is on the
house fop not come rf< ti. And with this
as his basis he went for the eaer-.egiou*
top-knots like a savage for a scalp. Rut
the top-knot that needs to Re scalped
now is that of high salaries. Nearly all
the other little top-knots, such as age*.
f'Hnl, Ac., have ootuo down, but there is
one so hardened to the sca.p of our pub
lic servants that it seems to be proof
against all clamor. In fact while nearly
all things else are coining down the top
knot of high salaries seems to he getting
bigger in defiance of the public will. 1 hi
salaries of congressmen, o' state !*.•;-
latora,of president, of governor*, and a
public officials were raised during the
war, and some after it ctose i wl.e
high prices still reigned, hut as tliet*
has been a general -.wiping of high pro es
within the last three years, lei the pe<>
pie demand sueh legislation as will re
store salaries to ante helium rate . 1 <

gladlv till the places and discharge their
duties faithfully, and in many m-tance.-
far better than some of the stub- ai d
nabobs and fops who revel in luxury
on big pay received as office holders,
with scarce an average of two hours duty
to perform in a day. In times like these
when general ami state government -
counties and municipalities and indi
viduals are heavily ill dt V>t, with h.p.-
t .xe, business pri'-trated, the very fir.
piace to practice economy would he to
cut down high salaries and abolish su
purfluous offices. Instead of this we find
high salaries at the top still, and danger
of them getting even higher, let the
cry go ont from every tax-payer, "lop
knot comedown."
Look at our state legislature it has
sit since January and done nothing at
all, and thteatens now to sit 50 days be
yond the usual time, at $lO per day for
each nienilier, or at a total expense of

Washington, March 20.— The attacks
which have been made on the Adminis
tration by Senators Blaine, Sargen- and
Chaffee, on account of the policy which
aas been pursued by the Secretary of the
Interior towards the tinl>er depredators
•n the public lands, promise to hike the
form of a more general warfare on the
Administration at an early day. The
anti-Administration Republican Sena
tors have no faith whatever 111 the half
professions which have lately roadbed
ihem from the Kxecutive Mansion that
the President is now more than anxious
to continue on good terms with the Re
publican .Senators and members. Ap
pointments and removals of officials,
they sav. continue to be made in their
respective States without consultation
with them, and in cases of radical
hanges protests even go unheeded. Mr.
Foster. ofOhio, who has been credited
as the President's own representative on
ibe floor of the House, has abandoned
ny intention of making a defense of
the first year of the Administration, lie
finds but little to approve and much to
•ondemn.and evidently feels that what
oieed of praise might be said had better
remain unsaid. In the Senate Mr.
Howe, however, has paved the way for
an onslaught on the Administration. He
offered a resolution this morning calling
on the President for information as to
whether Whitaker, the judge who tried
Anderson, of the Louisiana Returning
Board, was a defaulter to the Covern
ment or not, and if so. why he had
never been prosecuted. Ihe NN isconstn
Senator said he sbopld call up ibis resn
ution next week and take the opportu
nity to reply to the charge made against
mm at home that he had beyi lukewarm
10 his support of the Administration,
and to show what excuse he had for his
conduct. Mr. Conkling has prepared a
speech assailing the President and will
deliver it on Howe's resolution. Other
Senators also promise to define their
fiosition. In the mean time several of
the nominations which have lately been
submitted to the Senate will be rejected
notably those of Reynolds for First
~r and Smith for paymaster in the
trniy.
In an interview of Secretary Sherman
with the senate committee ol Uuau- e on
iVednesday he expressed Uiecouvictnui
hat the resumption act should not be
repealed, believing that the country
■ould resume on the first day of Janua
ry next. The statement ol the condi
lon of the treasury shows that the total
amouiit of gold com and gold bullion on
band is 1125.088,755. After deducting
all liabilities the total amount of gold
and silver coin and bullion available lor
redemption is $i I,< 75,860. lhe volume
of I'nited States notes has oeen reduced
to $348,618,024 against $382,000,000 at the
time of the passage of the resumption
act The secretary estimates that there
are now $320,000,000 of legal tenders in
circulation, deducting those that had
been lost or destroyed. This amount
with the national bank notes makes the
total paper money circulation $M3,000,-
000. To repeat tlie general result of the
preparations for resumption, the premi
um on gold has been practically abolish
e<l. Tbe amount of legal tenders and
national bank notes baa been reduced.
The fractional currency lias been paid
off, and tbe balance of trade baa been
favorable to this country to tbe amount
$160,000,000 a year, bringing back gold
and silver and bonds.
As to the silver bill tbe secretary
thinks it has bad some adverse and
some favorable effects on tbe question
of resumption. It has stopped the re
funding of the bonds and tbe accumula
tion of coin in tbe treasury. On the
Other hand, tbe silver bill has satisfied a
strong public demand for bimetallic
money. The secretary thinks that by
the passage of tbe silver bill resumption
can be maintained more easily upon a
double standard than uponasingle stan
dard. The bonds that have been return
ed from Europe have been readily ub
sorbed. Recent returns in New \ork
show the amount of bonds absorbed in
this country is at least a million and a
quarter a day. This shows the confi
dence of the people in the securities of
the country and their absorption will at
tend to check the scare in Europe, ibe
secretary would not accumulate more
than $5,000,000 a month of both metals,
and all sales beyond that should be an
pliod for refunding sir per cent, bonds.
He would be willing to begin resump
tion with |i£o 000,000 of coin on hand
and let tbe banks look out for
themselves.

have held it to work detrimentally to
their interests in the matter of local and

which they have contended that it has
been impossible for them to do busioeas
011 a paying basis. A bill was. there

shortly after the Legislature convened,
repeating the railroad tariff law , and a
few days ago it passed. This bill came
to the State Nenate late last night and
went through without amendment—

From the New Y< rk Ind.
It is reported, and we doubt not cor
rectly, that tieiieral Anderson .s a„..iu a
prominent candidate for Collector of the
Portof New Orleans. Central Anderson
was a prominent agent in the fraud
which made Haves President. His guilt
has been fully established be lore a judi
cial tribunal, and at the -ante time, on*
purely technical ground, he has been set
at liberty by an appellate court, and
thus be is in no immediate danger of the
penitentiary. Mr. Hayes could not
make a more fitting appointment. An
derson, like Hayes himself, i- guilty;
Anderson, like Hayes bimseif, is at
large , Hayes is in office, why should not
Anderson be in office also ?
The following is the au'.i-treatii.g bill
now before the legislature of this state
"An Act declaring it to be a misde

A Qua KEY or IXNIAN RELICS.— A dis
covery that will prove of interest to an
' tiquariee has been made in Johnston
Township, Providence County, K. I. The
' exact locality is about 100 yards north
* of the Killingly Pike, on the Big Elm
| Farm. Mr. H. N. Angel 1, of Provident
while engaged in quarrying *h •

out away the stone from a •II o. t i
tion till that was left as.i projet ten., and
then cut under the projection until it
was detached, after which the block
thus obtained was hollowed out, and
became a dish or bowl. The work had
been done with knives and hammers ol j
stone, the slate furnishing a sharp edge
to cut, chisel and scoop out the soap
stone. One of the two stone hammers
found weighs nearly 100 pounds, and
was hollowed in the middle, probably so
as to be bound with thongs to a liaudle.
Already 150 cuttings for bowls that
never were finished, have been counted
in the soapstone. The ledge itself had
been cut down by the aboriginal work
men, in this manufacture, several feet
below the original level. Large num
bers of Btone hammers and axes have
been found by the explorers. The rock
is soft, and some copper, silver, talc
and asbestos arc associated with the
soapstone.
A man has nearly talked himself to
death in Kern County, California. A
loquacious loafer known as Murphue of
fered to wager SSO that he could keep
on talking for twenty-four consecutive
hours, without interruption, and with
no other stimulant than Delano whiskey
which was to be furnished in unstinted
quantity at the loser's expense. The
wager was taken by another loafer, and
the orator, mounting the stump, began a
harangue on the subject of Kearney and
tin# sons of toil. The start was made at
8:30 a. in. By 10:30 p. m. the demijohn
hud gone down cellar three times to
ca'ch breath, with no visible decreusc in
Murphue's stock of words. At 2:30 the
next morning Kearney had been dis
posed of, together with the contents of
another demijohn. An argument in
favor of tbe Chinese was then taken up
Murphue's articulation at 7 a. in. be
came rather husky and tbe thread of his
argument rather difficult to follow, but
lie kept at it. One bet of S7O was offered
and accepted that he would not holdout
as he bad swallowed, during the time of
delivery, four gallonsof whiskey. When
time was at last called, and the wager
declared fairly won, Murpbues' powers
of endurance were exhausted, lie fell
from his cramped position on the chair
rolled over under the billiard table,
a Spongy mass of flesh and whiskey; but
strange to say, his *ipj in this comatose
condition still moved 1

was only five feet ha iniitteil that the rope

would break his nack. He was very much
afraid of strangulation. The drop fell at
a quarter to two, and he died in seventeen
minutes of strangulation. In his confes
sion Johnson said he knew ho had friends
in the crowd prepared to rescue him, but
said it was no ute try it. Several alleged
confessions werepcddleduboutlhogrounds I
after the hanging. The crowd numbered
16,000 pcoplo, and excursion trains were
run from all quarters. There were few
disturbances. Johnson asked to be hung
at balf-rast eleven. He wuuted to get to
the next world by dinner-time, as he had f
eaten a light breakfast.
FOUR EXECUTIONS.
A Clergyman Ilanged in tbe I'reaence
of 7,000 Witueaaes.
Nashville, March 18.— Fully seven thou
sand peep]* witnessed tbo execution of
Brown Coble, tho negro preacher, at Win
cheater, for tbo murder of another colored
man named Gardner, of whom Coblo was,
jealous. Kev. Lovelt visited Coble in jail,
and played for him. Coble seemed con
cerned, but on Lovett's leaving ho began
to doride tbo BhenfT and other officers.
Coble's wife wm present at the jail, and
seemed in the beat of humor. Ureal troub
le wu experienced in selecting a place for
the gallows on account of opposition of
residents. The spot finally selected was a
quarter of a mile from Winchester, in a
bottom on tho bank of Jtlk river. From
sunrise crowds began pouring in, and by
noon the place of execution presented the
appearance of an immense camp. The sa
loons in town all remained open, and to
ward noon drunkenness became very
prevalent.
The Sheriff gave Coble the full extent of
time. The condemned man arrived at the
scaffold alt! P. M., and mounted the steps
with a firm tread. When naked if he had
anything to say he made a brief speech,
reiterating what he hud said in his state
ment before ho left
lie protected lib innocence, and Ueclur
od that the witnesses lied. He was ready
to die, and would go to Heaven, At 2.60,
the Sheriff adjusted tho black cap, out the
rope ami the drop fell. The rope was too |
long, Cohle's feet touching the ground.
l|o fell about four leet, sufficient to break '
his neck. The Sheriff pulled up the rope
and tied it I igher. tk ills one *hrug of the
shoulders all Was (iter with Coble. He
w:i pronounced deed in seven minute*
and cut down in twanfy-flve. Coble'
seeiucd lo have no friends. Kvary body
:considered him guilty His speech from
I the scaffold caused no emotion whatever.

Columbia, 8- C., March 16.- The friends
and family of Hubert McEvoy, the mur
derer who was executed to-day, made
strenuous etl> rts last week to have the
sentence commuted to imprisonment for
life Governor Hampton, however, refus
ing to grant the commutation prayed for,
McKvoy on Saturday, and for the first
time, confessed to having participated in
at least tdo other brutal murders besides
that for which he it now under sentence of
death. A second effort was made yester
day to obtain a respite, in order to induce
hint lo rnaku a full confession. The Gov.
eruor, however, refused to grant this alto,
and he was, therefore, executed to-day
in private, in accordance with the law just
passed by the present Legislature.

tion of the whole treaty to the congress.
In the hou<e of commons this afternoon,
*ir Staff rd Northcote staled that there
were now thirteen vessels in the ilritisb
fleet near Constantinople.
The iron cladt pasted through the ttrails
under a protest from the Turkish govern
inert, but the government *aw no reason
agt -nl keeping Iheshipt in their present
position.
The Morning Post prints a second eii
tioa. ct * taming the following ditpatch :

to a long and ditcurtive sp- ecb of L' rd
S'.rathc-den. on re-tern affairs, said for ob
Vi us reasont tbe fleet should not bs sent
into the Black Sea at the present moment.
He protested against the repetition of un
founded statements relative to distensions
in the cabinet The government bad not
asked that Greece should enter the con
grota on lha same tooting as the great
powers, but limply that the theuld be
represented as a mean* of making her
voice and claims heard. The government
had never proposed that Iluatia should
submit the peace conditions to derisions
by the majority of tbe congress. Tbey
aiked that all of the articles should be sub
mitted lor discussion end disrutsion only,
that being the only possible manner of
deciding which oflbem affected Eur.>pean
mure.li. This was the solsuquestion now
at issue He was not prepared to say what
answer Kussia would giT*. but be thought
the demand ofthegovarnmenl was reason
able and moderate and unlets it was com
