Beside Serving so many uses in com
merce, industry and art, the bamboo per-.
forms its part in warlike operations, sup
plying lances, bows, and those wonderful
grotesque shields with which the braves
of the celestial empire seek to frighten
their foes. The earliest attempt in the
way of cannon on the part of the Chinese
was a weapon of bamboo. In the war of
'5B, one of our Sepoy regiments was star
tled by a tremedous shower of rockets
falling into their encampment at night,
and killing a commissariat Cheep.
Next morning, a party was dispatched
across the creek in search of the battery,
and succeeded in capturing a number of
novel machines, consisting of stout bam
boos lashed together, which had evident
ly been used for the discharge of the rock
ets that had caused such commotion
among the guardians of the government
stores. The bamboo did good service on
our side in the hands of the coolies act-
ing as a land - transport corps, and earned
them the popular designation of the
"Bamboo Rifles;" while on the other
band, its employment in the shape of
stakes driven deep in the mud before the
forts of Takti, cost England the lives of
many brave men, and entailed an expen-
i-ive campaign to obliterate the memory
of an untimely disaster.
There are several species of bamboo,
but, according to Mr. Fortune, the best,
and most beautiful is the Mow-chok,
which is largely cultivated in the central
aml eastern provinces of China. The
stems of this handsome tree are straight,
smooth and clear, attaining a height of
from sixty t•) eighty feet in a very short
space of time, for it, grows at the rate of
two or two and a half feet in twenty four
hours. This useful giant has been intro
duced into India, and may, in time, super
sede the inferior descriptions of bamboo,
and give the ifindoo one more reason to
venerate the name of Robert Fortune.—

Groas abuse of the Pardoning • Power.
Several weeks ago, as our readers will
recollect, the dwelling of Mr. Schmidt, on
North Ninth street, in this borough, was
broken into-robbed of $250, by a- number
of young rogues, named Nathaniel Mich
ael, Wilson Michael, Charles Mertz and
William Shelton. • Having been arrested
for the crime, the case .came up for trial
at oar late term •of Court, when the ac
cused plead guilty to the charge. In ac
cordance with our prediction of last week,
"Jim's" favor had been secured, and on
the boys being brobglit. up for sentence,
Governor Curtiu's pardon, in utter dis
regard of justice,, was produced,. and by
his decree all of. them were allowed to go
unpunished—thus setting an example for
others to go and do likewise—for boys
having "loyal" papas may infer from this
act of clemency on the part of the Gov
ernor that they may commit What depre
dations they tit6ase with perfect impunity.
The pardon was a foregone conclusion
prior to the • trial, as We know the trans
actiod was agreed noon at Catasauqua
last Sunday two weeks ago. The crime
with which the boys stood charged, con
sidering their age, was without the shad
ow of extenuating circumstance, and Gov
ernor Curtin, by interposing executive
clemency, has committed a grievous
wrong on society, for this very thing will
stimulate other boys to the commission of
crime. •
The Governor of this State has no
right to misuse the great trust reposed in
bim by the grant of pardoning power for
the purpose of relieving any criminal or
criminals from the penalty justly due to
their crimes. It was never conferred for
any such purpose. It was only intended
to enable bim to correct mistakes made
by courts and juries, or to relieve, when
it was ascertained on examination, that
there were mitigating circumstances not
known to or properly understood by the
tribunal - when sentence was pass
ed. The Grevernor has no shadow of
right to interfere for the purpose of meri
ted punishrtieut, no odds as to what the
Sentence, of a competent judicial tribunal
maybe.' When a criminal or criminals
have.liad a fair and impartial trial by
their pbers, and been 'found guilty of the
offence for which they were lawfully ar
raigne; it.is a gross .!robtrage for the
(4(B;er:o4:either for. political reasons, or
from tang other selfish - or interested mo
tives,-to interfere to prevent the full exe
cution of the solemn sentence of the law..

a mistaken and misplaced clemency whose
results are now perceived. One may al
most be 'pardoned for inquiring why his
Excellency did not, while his hand was
in make thorough work of it, and empty
the Penitentiaries altogether ? We don't
see why he should stop short and do only
half the business. We doubt not the con
victs who remain bad as much claim to
executive clemency as those who were let
out. They will have reason to complain
of unfairness in the Governor, that he has
made fish of one and fowl of another
when' they all belonged to the same ()leis
and order. Let them not be discouraged,
however. The Governor is going out of
office, and as ho is a candidate for U. S.
Senator, and not likely to turn the cold
shoulder to his friends. and borers, those
remaining in the custody of the State cer
tainly have some reason to hope that he
may go on and letmput the balance of them
before his term is out.

A Frenchman na ed Calino, who died
in Paris not many years ago was remark
able for a bovine tendency. There is a
letter of his in existence as follows: "My
dear friend—l left my lthife at your lodg
ings yesterday. Pray send it to me if
you find it. Yours, Calino. P. S.—
Never mind sending the knife; t have
found it."
There is also a note to his wife, which
he sent home with a basket of provisions,
the postscript to which read : " Yon will
Lind my letter at the bottom of the bas
ket, if you, should fail to do so, let me
know as soon as possible."
It is sa id of this same character that,PLl
one occasion he took a lighted taper' to
find his way down a pairof stairs without
accident, and after getting down brought
it back With thanks, leaving himseifat the
top of the stairs in the dark as at first.
A lady once asked the - Abbe de Mat

Those two observing men, one of whom
said he had always noticed when he lived

Improper Condact of Teachers.
On Tuesday, of last week, very rePre
hensible conduct was perpetrated in the
public schools of Ebensburg, this county.
A- Mr. Singleton, a young sprig of a law
yer, who was a candidate for District At
torney last year on the Disunion ticket
and•was defeated of course, is now',eM
ployed as superintendent of the schools in
Ebensburg. He teaches the higher class.
He has for one of his assistants, who teach
es a younger class of scholars in the same
building, a Miss Eliza Jones.
Mr. Jobe• Blair, a worthy citizen of Eb'
ensburg, and the keeper of a very respee;
table hotel in that to wn,•has a.brighLlittle
boy-of 'about -twelve years of age, who
was attending-the school or class taught
by' Miss*Jones. Iseettis That •a shiny,
black faced, woolly listadedi littlewnegro
girl, - was attending the lame school. Mi 64
Jones ordered the intelligent little white
boy to sit;boside the little blaelc , !giti, (an
unusual place toseat-' boys beside girls in
sehool< birder -any! cifeumstanees.) The
white44Tiefused, , said he .! would rather'

conclusively the partisan feeling : of her
conduct. The white boy still refused.
Tbo , partisan teacher then locked the
door so that no one could go out, to re
port, her proceedings. It is said Mr. Sin
gleton did the same with the doer of his,
room in the setae building. Jones
then commenced flogging the white boy
for not sitting beside the negro girl, and
during nearly half a day, it is said, she
most unmercifully whipped him, until
" the boy was so bruised and mangled that
he could hardly reach his father's house."
If our informant has given us the truth,
we look tipon this as one of the moat dia
bolical acts we have ever recorded. The
attempt to teach miscegenation in a
school room, and to enforce it with cruel
and unmitigated punishment, is a crime of
so horrid and revolting a character that
should condemn its perpetrators to the
deepest scorn and contempt of every hu
man being.—Jahnslown. Dem.
A Man without arms or Legs.
Arthur Kavauaugh is a candidate for
Parliament from Wexford County, Ire-
Kavanaugh is but the head and trunk
of a man, and was bornin that condition.
He has but two little stumps where the,
arms should be, and the same as regards
the lowei limbs. If elected, he should' be
borne into the House in men's arms, or in
a machine of some sort, and taken to and
fro at each division ! He is a highly ed
ucated man, and the possessor of a large
property, and is moreover a famous
sportsman. Strapped into a sort of bowl
on his horse's back, he rides like a very
fiend after the hounds. He is also a great
yachtsman, and a couple of years ago he
published a handsome volume giving an'
account of his voyage to Albania in his
vessel, the Eva,• so called after the wife
of the Anglo Norman chief, Strornbow,
the daughter of Durmod MeMurrough,
King'of Leitister; from whom 'this Mr.
Kavanaugh is lineally descended. This
King Dermod has an evil notoriety in
Irish history, as it was be who first 'invi
ted and brought over the English to this,
country. He sought their aid to enable
him to resist the forces brought dg itis,t,
huu-by Roderick O'Connor, King Of Tie
land,. and the Prince of Hrefug, wbose Wife
had eloped with Dermod or fled to hiS
protection from her hush:lll(E • It ivas'Ore
this incident - that. Moore Mulled his Ong'
of "The valley lay smiling before me,"in
which occur the Well known lines :
"On our side is virtue and Erin, .
On theirs is the Saxon and guilt."
Mr. Kavanaugh has in his possession a
valuable portion of the estates of hit, an•
castors, hi, quiow and Wexford. He is
not a bad man, but he has no popularity
to speak of, and I doubt very much that
he will obtain a seat in Parliament which
he' covets.
Extraordinary Oratorical Feat,
One of the-most remarkable feats:of en
durance in • a speaker which we -ever 're
member to • have heard of, comes to us
from Victoria, Vancouver's Island, says
an exchange.
In the legislative assembly of that place,
we are told- that Mr. Leonard M'Clure
spoke for seventeen hours without paus
ing or sitting down. To those who are
acquainted with the circumstances, this
fact might not appear to be placed in the
category with the exertions of those am
bitious who, for wagers, walked a thous
and miles in a thousand hours. It may
easily be supposed that; M'Clure's speech
could not have been a master-piece of or
atory, nor is it:likely that his inducement
was greater than that which moved Ed
ward Burke when, at the trial of Warren
Hastings, after pouring out for fourteen
hours a torrentof impassioned eloquence,
the majestic mind- collapsed under the
force of physical fatigue, and- he fell faint
ing into the arms of Sheridan. But we
know of no instance of stubborn tenacity
equal to this of Mr. M'Clure, and the
cause was one which should make him fa;
mous-in the annals of the British colon-
- _
A year ago a large quantity of land in
and about Victoria was seized by the goy
eminent-for arrears of taxes, and , was by
it held 'on the underitanding, , expressed
and published, thatithe owners' could have
end repossess their lots by __paying the
taxes due within a twelvemonth after
theirzseiznre., But. it, became Anown a
few days' before the expiration of the al
lotted term that .a plot was on 4hot; con
cocted; by the . government and backed by
a venal majority in the House of •Assertf
bly,tii paSs .a bill authorizing the -11xeini-
Live to repudiate its contracts with' 'the
land owners, refusing to accept payment
of arrearil, and , seizing upon and retain
jog permanently•the dispnwd, lotS. • Two
, men au the 'Janie ,opposed the measure.
Their names were Amos. de Comos,and

For seventeen hours be continued to
speak, while every effort , was made by
the' purchased majority to put him down
and tire him out.
With a merciless unanimity they ye
five& to, allow him to,leanagamst the ta

ment, to relieve himself frOm the irksome r ,
ness of his position hi , resting hia haTtd;
upon, anything, or to speak, in short, in
any other than a rigidly erect and unsup
ported attitude.
During the whole of ,the time they re
lieved each Other at intervals, going out
and procuring refreshments as they need-'
ed, and always leaving a quorum in the
house: When M'Clure sank exhausted
into his seat, as the lightofanother morn
ing was stealing in at the windows of the
assembly house, De Comos rose, and for
the remaining seven hours of the twenty
four talked against time.
On rising, amid the groans and hisses
of the disgusted and infuriated majority,
ho exclaimed with more force than re
finement, that it was useless for honora
ble members to-evince their malice in that
manner, for he had got up with the de
termination to talk,, if necessary, " until
the angel Gabriel sounded the last trum
pet',
His powers of endurance were not,
quite so severely tested, but the end was
achieved,' and when the clock struck 12,
the worn ,und wearied champions &hon
esty looked -round with pardonable exul
tation upon the Wank faces of a bought
and beaten assembly. '
Drunk as to the Legs.
Robert Wilson was before Justice
Milliken of Chicago, charged withintoxi
cation. He pleaded "half guilty," stating
that he could drink a good deal and be
perfectly sensible. His head always re•
ruained clear, but his knees went too free
ly, and he became drunk below his hips.
The ()Dicer found him on the door step, at
an early hour. in the morning. Leaning
back a little lie was striking at his legs, and
was abusing them in thefiereest manner
for their base and contemptible conduct.
"I have lived with you for nearly thirty
years ; I have fed and clothed you ; I
IlaVg got jou 'good and nice pantaloons
and comfortable draWers ;• and now at
this hour , of the night, when it is wet,and
/:-*'at;•-tfi ,go,bome,..you' go J?ack . on me,

aren't you ashamed of yourselves—a pret
ty pair you are ? From this time on I
am going toltreat you differently. I be
lieve I'll begin now, confound you—you
shall have a wetting."
With that he. began to take off his pan
taloons, but the scandalized officer arrest
ed him. le was fined three dollars and
departed murmuring vengeance against
his (r.remities.
Two OF 'Eat.—A young fellow whose
better hall had just presented him with a
pair of bouncing twit's, attended church
one Sunday. During the discourse, the
clergyman looked right at our innocent
friend and said, in a tone of thrilling elo
quence:
" Young man, you have an important
responsibility upon you."
The newly fledged dad, supposing that
the preacher alluded to his peculiar homo
event, considerably startled the audience
by exclaiming ;
" Yes, I, have two of them."

Why he could not Vote.
At the election on Tuesday, a trifle
light as air was made sufficient excuse to
exclude from the righi to vote' any per
son suspected of being a Conservative.—
One gentleman, who had always been
Union man, sometime ago purchased a
Valuable horse, which had been, named
" Stonewall 'Jackson" by his former own
er. He did care to change the name of
the animal, and that fact found its way to
the knoWle4ge of the judges of election in
the precinct where he resides. He took
the' oath when he offered his ballot, and
satisfactorily answered all the questions
propounded to him: Finding there was
no ?then :means of excluding the citizen
from voting, he wai'then
