All Botts of preparations are making in many
quarters for all sorts of sport next summer.
First, there is a party which proposes to start in
April hunt lions, tigers and other wild animals
in Africa. It is to be composed of gentlemen, of
means and leasure in Europe and America, who
delight in the sports of the tented hunting li
I ground. They go out fully equipped with tents,
dogs, horses and attendants. Their landing place'
and headquarters will be Algiers.
Of this proposal we cannot speak very approv
ingly, for if any ono desires to-hunt lions and
tigers they can do it to much better advantage
in India where, just now there is, besides, much
other entertainment. A trip to Calcutta, or bet
' ter still, perhaps, Bombay, is just aow one of the
most interesting excursions imazinable, and the
most desirable to those who hare the time and
means to make iccomfortably.
.
`l'he second project is an excursion to the Me
' diterraneari in the streamer Ericsson, leaving
' New Ynelt about Ist May, and arriving about Ist
August. According to the programme, will t ouch
at Gibr-lter, Malta, Alexandria, Jaffa, (for Je
rusalem.) Constantinople, Athens and Nap,,les,
- r maining, at each place a anffi'went time to e n
able the passengers to see the sights. The nut a
ber of passengers is limited to 160, and the f re
of each, if adults, will be $750 Other expense is
of the voyage, it is calculated, will raise the
I whole costtosbout $906.
This will do pretty well, but any one who
has the tinie and nine hundred dollarsone would

THE DAILY POST.
WEDNESDAY \RAINING FEBRUARY 24
A striking and almost incredible example of
the invocation of diabolic aid, under circum
stances which betray a great degree of avarice
and cruelty, hat recently occurred on the shores
of the Adr tile. in the province of La Mania.
A lady of some propei Iy, residing generally
at Aqua Santa, in the Papal dominions, hut bor
dering on the Neapolitan territory, in which alio
has also property, has become possessed with
the strongest conviction that in some part of her
estates there is a hidden treasure of enormous
value; but that all her attempts at its discovery
are systematically opposed by evil spirits. Hav
ing been informed by some trustworthy old
woman, who bears the reputation of being a
streya, or witch, that nothing can allay the spite
of these hostile spirits, and lead to the discovery
of the treasure except sacrificing to them a male
child of good parentage and under six years of
age, this treasure seeking signora has been for
some mouths in quest of a child adapted for her
purpose, and riot too closely guarded for her kid
napping intentions. About a month ago, she
cast her evil eye upon a fine little buy belonging
to an English lady residing at Porto di Fermo,
and skillfully watching her opportunity, con
trived to entice the' child away, whilst rambling
with its mother, and playing about on the sea
shore.
The consternation the inotner at the child's
disappearance may be easily imagined. Her hus
band being absent from homes at the time, she
sent a young man, her son in-law, in quest of the
child, and of the trea:ure seeker who had ih
veigled him away. Towards the night the young
man succeeded in tracing the fugitive to a soli
tary house at a considerable distance, into which
he endeavored to obtain admittance, but was re
pulsed by the hostile demonstrations of a body
of armed retainers. He then proceeded to the
nsighboriug town of Arcoli, to procure the assist
ance of the police, with a sufficient force of whom
he returned to the solitary house, but too late to
arrest the kidnappers, who had decamped with
their victim. Meanwhile, the father of the child
returned to his home, and having learnt the ca
t,,trophe, came out likewise in hot pursuit,
w hi u. , i resulted, after several days research, in
t h e di ? ,:overy of the hiding place of the lady and
chill, at s curate's house in the Neapolitan do
minions-
During this interval the lady's house of Aqua
Santa, was subje oted to a judicial search, and
evidence was obtained that the child was to have
been sacrificed there oi2 Christmas day. An altar
',lad been prepared, with wax torches and all
kinds of accessories, to Immolate the boy to
Satan ! Au ambuscade was established around
the dwelling in consequence of this horrible reve
lation, and a party kept constantly on the watch,
in ease the lady should return to her habitual
residence.
In theleThtillle the father, having come up
with the fugitives, demanded his child from the
cal ate who harbored thew ; but the priest re
eorup!y, except in condition of a full
I , ,rtluu to the lady. Unwilling to pass over so
heinous a transaction, the infuriated father ap
pealed without delay to the bishop of the diocese,
Vito took IllntAtit IllettsUrizB to rescue the child,
and to arrest the lady, who is now undergoing a
trial fcr sereyoneria or witchcraft, and will most
likely he punished accordingly.
The Pope takes the greatest interest in the
pr-ceedings, and is punctually informed of every
point of interest developed by the examination.
Ti,e child was absent from home about five days,
during which time the mother nearly lost her
oene,, and has Inwilly yet recovered her trAn
luility She is the sister of an English gentle
in ,u, who has been for many years engaged in
die of rae _banking establishments of Rome.
An interesting ,incident is related of General
)v,lshingtou's visit to Salem (Mass ) during his
second Presidential term. At that place, as at
ev,ry other along his journey, he was received
with the liveliest demonstrations of rejoicing.
M igniticent preparations were made for his re
ception at Salem. From a great distance around,
ail the peoi6e came Lou v:L•lcome the Father of
his Country. The Lall;t Li y were out in full
l'orce, and put On their most martial airs. The
soldiers of thd Revolution made their appear-.
ce in large numbers to asst their old com
ma 'vier. All the women and children of Salem
and the region round about were collected to
gether to add to the importance and grandeur of
r oception. A committee of reception was
appoi, fled, and one of its meinl.;ors, who chanced
to be a Quaker, was selected to act as spokesman
for the occasion. A great speech .t as perhaps
e 7. pe.c:.ed for so great an occasion ; a long speech,
es.aibiting their distinguished visitant as irn
n.easurably "above all Greek, above all Roman
f; pie." Well, at the appointed time, Washington
r. ate up to the town, where he was thus addressed
h 3 the spokesman of the reception committee :
• Friend Washington, we are glad to, see thee,
in the name of the people, we give thee a
hearty welcome to Salem."
Tlts was the entire speech of the Quakei ora
tor, and Washington said it was more grateful to
Lint than any with which he had been honored
on his journey.
Would not the speakers and writers of our day
consult the wishes and interests of those for
whom their efforts are designed, as well as the
gi'uerally, hy a closer approximation to
Quaker-like brevity, simplicity and sincerity?

Uses of Cork.
The Scientific American of the current week has
the following r'ima.rks on the ancient and modern
luny of cork:—There are some substances in
th , use of which we have not made much pro
gres4. The Romans used it as soles to put into
their shoes to keep their feet warm and dry ;
ald 114 there were no high heels in those days,
the ladies used it to make them appear tall. Ca
miltus swam the Tibet with the aid of a cork
jacket : fismirmeti need it as floats to their nets
and buoys to their anchors, and Pliny tells us
0,1. it was employed as stoppers to vessels of
all kinds. The old Spaniards lined the walls of
their houses with cork, because it kept them
worm, and prevented dampness; lastly the
Egyptians manufactured coffins .of it, which,
being lined with a resinous composition, pro
sery their dead from decay. The method em
ployed in Portugal of cutting the bark and
burning the outside, is the same to-day as it
was one thousand years ago: so that altogether
we cannot say that we had done vary much with
c,t k that has not been done before. It is quite
time that we made a start and discovered some
new uses and appliances for this cheap and
p , nziful material.

TIIE NEGRO RACE.-11:iyard Taylor, writing
from Nubia, in Upper Egypt, says:
"Those friends of the African race who point
to Egypt as a proof what that race has accom
plished, are wholly mistaken. The only negro
features represented in Egyptian sculpture are
those of9laves and captives taken in Ethiopian
wars of t* Pharoahs. The temples and pyra
mids throlehout Nubia, as far as the•Daref and
Abyssinia, all bear the hieroglyphy of monarchs,
and there is no evidence in all the valley of. the
Nile that the negro race ever attained a higher
degree of civilization than is at present exhibited
in Congo and Ashantee."
