A COLORED SENATOR HOW sits ill tllC
Senate Chamber at Washington. On
Friday last, Senntor Hovels, the colored
Senator l'rom Mississippi, was admitted
and look the oath of ollico, and now rep
resents the State formerly represented by
Jefferson Davis.
Gold has fallen far below the expecta
tions of every ouc, and on Friday last
touched as low a premium as 1GJ, thus
making United States Securities of 1881,
above par in gold, as they were selling the
same day at 117J. If this fall in gold
continues the question of a return to a
specie basis will soon be settled, without
any trouble. The above is the lowest
premium since Sept. 1st. 18GJ, when it
was 1GJ.
The publication of the Dally Globe
is costing the country thousands of dollars
annually, and is really of no use. There
is a prospect now that the imblieatinn of
i -
speeches in its columns, that have never j
ueen delivered, will be discontinued bc-
fore long, as some speeches published by
Mr. Muugen, of Ohio, aro considered by
scn:3 of the members to bo outrageous
If his speeches havo the affect of doing
away with this system, they have at
least done that much good.
Hon. A. K. McClure, is evidently
unable to forget the grudge he owes Sen
ator Cameron, and now takes occasion to
write a long letter, in which he asserts
that the Ex-Secretary of War left that I
position in the Cabinet, at the especial
request of President Lincoln.
This unnecessary attack the Senator so
far has not noticed enough even to say
"shoo fly," aud evidently cares little
bout it, probably feeling that such let
ters damage tho author fully as much as
the person they are intended to injure.
Jury Duty is a kind of service that
few men do with willingness, and is con
sequently a service that they would gladly
be relieved from. The New York Jour
nal of Commerce makes a suggestion
which ;ems to us is really worthy of con
sideration. Wo quote as follows :
" Wo would allow all civil suits to be
tried by a Judge alone in every case
where noither party demanded a jury.
This would strike out the call for such
service from three-fourths, if not nine
tenths of tho civil cases on the calendar.
There aro few disputes in which both
parties and their lawyers would not rath
er leave the decision to the bench than to
the jury box. In the remaining cases let
any party demanding a jury bo compelled
to give security for tho payment of a
sum sufficient to furnish ample remuner
ation to those who may be compelled to
give their valuablo time to the task."
This would also relievo the public
treasury from quite a largo expense, and
place it where it properly belongs, on
those who insist upon demanding the ser
vices of a jury. There is uo doubt but
that in .the great majority of cases, the
cause of justice would bo promoted, and
iewer unjust verdicts would be rendered,
than under the present system. At least
the question is worthy of consideration,
as furnishing a means towards relieving
men from this duty, or if compelled to
perforin insecure a fair remuneration for
iheir services.
An Extraordinary Cose.
A correspondent of tho Uoston Pout,
gives the following account of a singular
case of suspended animation or of pecu
liar appearance after death. The body
is at the house of Mrs. Josiah King, in
Charleston, 11. I., who is the mother of
the young lady :
iNliss Susie A. King, her daughter, was
about twenty-three years of age, and of
fine personal appearance. About two
weeks ago she was taken sick with some
affection of the throat, by which she was
cuufiniid to her bed for several days,
when she was supposed to be convales
cent, and allowed one day to come down
stairs. That night, however, she grew
worse, complaining of severe pains in
her hands and feet, and coutiuued t')
glow worse till the next day, when she
lasped into an unconscious state, in which
slio remained until her death, on Friday,
the lltii, at hall-past seven o'clock, A. iM.
The usual piepeiations for the grave were
made; the body laid in the coffin, and on
Sunday the funeral services were held.
While the friends were taking the last
look at the body, a physician present
thought ho observed signs of life.
The body was removed from the coffin,
and, being piaced in blankets, friction
and artificial respiration were resorted to
without effect. The next day the galvan
ic battery was used, but was also without
avail. After hearing the above particu
lars we wereinviied to view the body,
which lay in a Collin on tho table, where
it. had remained since Sunday, this being
ii e eigntn clay since death was supposed
to have taken place.
The body presented tho appearance of
a person in full health and sound s'.eep.
The face was full and round ; t lie cheeks
flushed, and the lips red; the eyes un
suuken, with no outward sign of" death.
There was a total absence of muscular
rigidity, and Wednesday, after lying six
clays in tins condition, the body was
perceptibly warm to the touch. The
physician present applied the stethoscope,
v in jruirmti'Mi in lilt;
bcart, while the application of a lighted
but could detect no pulsation of the
match to the skin produced no blister
hiled with scum, which is said to be
invariably the case when life is present.
M any physicians from the surrounding
country have been to witness this wonder
ful phenomenon, though disagreeing in
their conclusions .some believing Miss
King to be in a state of tranc.!,"" others
thinking her dead, attributing the preser
vation of tho corpse to arsenic, which it
is possible she has been accustomed to
take for the complexion, a habit prac
ticed by many young ladies- That Aliss
iv. Had this habit, however, the faun v
dul,y
The father
of the young ladv was
Josiah Kin
brother of cx-( iovei uor King,
of lUiode Island, who. it mav bo remoin

during tho -'Dui-r War," in 18 1 1-2.
iMueli syiiii.nhy is felt and expressed for
the family, iimi some idea of the public
feeling niauil'esiod in thecaso may bo in
ferred from the fa-t that during the past
week over 'JjOO people have visited the
house to see and In-ar for themselves.
Terrible Slcainhoat Disaster.
On Saturday the Ithli, tilt,., the steam
boat Emma Xo. 3, James Maratta- cap
tain, bound from New Orleans to Cin
cinnati, about lil'iy miles above Memphis,
struck a snag, aud commenced tilling
with water.
Every effort to back the boat off the
snag, get her to shore, or to stop the leak
was unavailing, and the officers prepared
to send tho ladies and passengers ashore
in the yawl. At this juncture the hieam
er careened, upsetting her stoves and
setting fire to the boat in so many places
that it was impossible to ciLnguisii the
flames.
The passengers beea ne greatly cxeiloJ,
and 'before the yawl, cont.iiu'ug the
ladies and us many passengers s it was
deemed prudent to put in' her, ctiuld be
pushed beyond reach, a rush vas mad,),
audit was iinuiciiately swamped, and
turned bottom uj.wii d, drmv rug all the
ladies, many passengers, and ilm clerk
an I pilot, Tims. Triinue!, who had been
put iu ciliary to take it ashore. '1 iie
officers then atlemp.cd to launch the
life biv i., bur. we-e driven awry by tire
when the task w..s nearly accomplished;
doors, planks and bales of c-iitou were
theu procu -cd, mid uU on bo. rd started
for shore, except Male Ca.'cb Manilla,
Pilot Atteiuioriiugh, threo passengers,
head chambei maid and head conk, "who
could fird nothing secure enough to trust
themselves on, and huddled together on
a narrow strip of forecastle in front of
some casks of sprap iron, which protected
them from fire, mid which they preveut-
cd burning by throwing water on them
with their hats.
Captain James Marat ta managed to
reach the wheel, which fortunately Was
not submerged entirely when tho bo; t
sunk, and extinguished the fire. JIo was
soon afterward taken off by Iho skills
which arrived from the nearest houses
one and two miles distant, as quickly as
the owners could bringthoni ; also rescued
a party on the bow which still hung on the
snag. The greater portion of those who
started ashore on floats succeeded in
reaching it, but lirstengiueor Lycmherger
and a passenger named Mcl'ar'laud died
from exhaustion and cold after reacliiiiix
shore. Many remained on the boat until
badly burned before attempting to go
ashore.
Murder ami Lynching.
On the 15th, ult., in Ueardstown, 111.
a man named Wilcox entered the saloon
of Geek & 'ecker,during their temporary
absence, and assaulted a drunken man who
was in the saloon, and beat him badly.
In a few minutes Geek & lleckcr came
in when the ruffian drew a revolver and
shot Geek dead, and then turned and
fired at Decker, the ball inflicting an ugly
and supposed dangerous wound.
The murderer was arrested. On Friday
Mr. Geek was buried, aud there was a
largo gathering at Ueardstown.
Just after dark a large crowd, number
ing fully five hundred, gathered around
the jail. Without employing force they
took the keys from the sheriff and put him
miner ruarci. i no mob t hen entmw
they hud the wrong man
In the meantime tho murderer, who
was in another cell, chained to tho floor,
was made aware of the designs of the mob
got possession of an iron" bar, and as
the. leaders of the mob appeared to open
the cell door ho warned them that he
would sell his life dearly.
His resolute demeanor produced a
change of action but did not defeat the
purpose of tho leaders, and a pistol-shot
through tho head of the murderer killed
him. His body was taken out of doors
aud hung by the neck to a tree.
A Xew Breed of Cats.
Some months ago, a Lithuanian lynx
escaped from a traveling menagerie, at
Altona, and 20 reward was offered for
its capture, but in vain. Not long ago,
a sentinel at Kiel observed a strange
looking, cat-like animal coming out of the
mouth of a largo cannon on tho ramparts,
and after a short while returning with a
duck in its jaws. Tho man got assistance
a net was spread over tho muzzle of'tlm
gun, and the missing lynx was recaptured,
together with a domestic cat and a litter
of three young ones. The offspring of
this curious and hitherto quite unprece
dented cross of breeds have been trans
ferred to tho botanical garden of Ham
burg, where they have been visited by
many naturalists. The directors of the
Zoological Garden in Paris havo already
offered 5000 francs ($1000) for one
single specimen.
