Having no money to pay his fare, and admitting to the conductor that he'had the small-pox, he was put off the train to perish In the cold. He set .out in the night, through bitter cold weather, tot the Village pf Holly, but was drl ven away by an officer at the muzzle.of a loaded pistol. Bick, starving, freezing; and exhausted, he made his Way through the snow to Pontiac, where he was graciously permitted to die In an cid shed. . - -The last number of the Times ot India that has been received says : "Famine continues its lavages in Persia, and the extent of lt will never fully be known. Much as we know of the misery this widespread, long-continued lamine has wrought, lt ls strange that we .hear nothing, of any organized and sustained effort for alleviation being made by the Per? sian Government. Toe starving people aro left to look after themselves; such as con leave the country do so; such as cannot, must - die, unless relief from-some unexpected quar er reaches'them. As ls usual, disease has appeared in the districts to complete what /amine had begun." .. -A Washington letter says: "Some of the leaders in the liberal Republican movement in augurated by the repent convention,in Mis? souri, and who wi!) participate In the mass convention to be held In Cincinnati the first Wednead?y. in May, are in Washington. They j state thal there ls no doubt that every coo- , gresslonal district In the country will be re- J .presented In that convention. Es-Secretary COX, Judge Stanley Mathe wes, Gt orge Hoad- = ly, and other liberal Ohio Republicans, opposed ' . to the continuance of the present administra- ' Won, have issued a card, In which they state 1 .that -they heartily sympathize with the views 1 and purposes of the convention, in behalf of themselves and such Repuplicans as unite with i them in sentiment, j jin in the Invitation for the same, and urge upon all those favoring the political reforms proposed.' Senator Schurz has been talked of for president of the conven? tion. -One of Sir Walter Scott's most interesting novels, "Ivanhoe," gives ns an idea of the manner in which the wealthy Jews of the olden time were compelled to open their money-bags for the benefit of the needy nobles. In the days of Richard the Lion-hearted they do say that the custom was to draw a tooth each day until the purse-strings were loosened. Although the measures adopted were doubt? less efficacious, they were certainly rather ornel. But the prefect of the City of Orizaba, in Mexico, has been amusing himself by re? ducing to practice some of these theories, cf which he had heard by tradition. He had de? manded a loan of five thousind dollars from the citizens, which demand was deemed un- i reasonable and compliance with it refused. So what doeB our gallant prefect do but arrest the most prominent men In the town and make them stand on one leg ior an entire night. It is needless to say that the next day they all "came down," and that the prefect had no fnrther difficulty in securing his loan. -The Hon. Cassius M. Clay, ex minister to Busala, delinea his own view?, and approxk mate)y the situation, In a letter recently pub? lished. Everything that has so far happened in the South, he contends, proves the futility of attempting to subjugate the Southern States and erect military government. He denoun? ces the carpet-bag system of reconstruction; the nepotism, favoritism and proscription of the present administration^ the scheme to sub? ject men and measures to the election of an undesired chieftain, and, floally, protests against the Interference -with free assemblage practiced by the soldiery In the South. Speak? ing, as a Republican, of the coming Presiden? tial nomination, he concludes: "We want a man whose antecedents prove him loyal to the Union, and a faithful defender of the rights of all-white and black; one who, conservidg allthe fruits of the war, will gather around him whatever ls manly and patriotic In the Democracy, building up anew the scattered iragmenof our nationality, not upon fear andi persecution, but the solid hardpan of brotherhood and inseparable interests." . A Pretty Quarrel as lt Si ands J There is no doubt that the excitement in England, upon the Bubject of the Treaty of Washington, was due as mach to political I manoeuvring as to the realization of the I fact that the United States had coolly pre? sented "a little bill" amounting to about S2, OOO, OOO, OOO. Mr. Disraeli and his fol ! lowers were quite ready to take any step which promised to embarrass the ministers. For more than two weeks the London press bad discussed and denounced the claims made by the United States under the treaty. It only needed a studiously guarded sen? tence in the Queen's speech, and a few sharp words in the House of Commons, to thoroughly arouse the British public. The ! newspapers bad laid the train ; the House of Commons applied the match. Mr. Glad? stone made a handsome reply to bis assail? ants. His words go straight to the point. England will not pay the indirect damages claimed by the United States. From this position, neither ministers nor people will . recede. And yet we do not fear a war between England and the United States. Admitting that England will withdraw her representa? tives, if the Geneva Arbitrators consent to consider "the case" of the United States as it stands, there is no serious danger of an open rupture. This country will charge England with violating the provisions of the Treaty of Washington, and England will hurl the same accusation at the head of the. United States. There will be blusterous1 talk on both sides; but no fighting. Neith? er country desires it; neither country can afford it. The only danger, indeed, of a war with England grows out of the doltish obstinacy of President Grant, and tbe reckless par? ti?.*-'Ship of his advisers. If the. President believes that big talking, or a brush with England, will strengthen his chances of re? nomination and election, it is possible that '-e may a!!ow the country to drift Into a: tight. This is the real risk which the nation runs while it is ruled by a clique of dema? gogues who would sacrifice a myriad of lives to strengthen the Radical party. Tlic Democratic Senators. We hope that there is no truth in the re-, port that the Democratic members of the State Senate intend to resign their Beats. The Senate, in comparison with the House, ls a Conservative body, and its conserva? tism it strengt hen ed hy tho aol ion of tho Democratio minority. Measnres of great public importance, in which every vote is of moment, will come before the Senate this session, and we repeat the expression of our hope that every Democrat will be found in bis place. Nothing can be gained, and much may be lost, by a resignation at this time. - Bastard English. The telegraphic system has its disadvan? tages. From every town in the Union, the busy gatherers of news forward to the lead? ing journals reports of the lost sensation, whether a railroad consolidation or the vagaries of a Latter Day Siint. What tbe reporters aim at is intelligibility and brevity. In order to shorten their telegraphic dis? patches they coin bastard words, which are horrible In sound, and, if they come into common use, will destroy the force and vigor of the English tongue. We are accustomed to read in the papers that two trains "collided," through the neg? ligence of two switchmen, one of whom "suicided," while the other is "jailed." Nor are our hardened nerves shocked when we learn that a house was "burglarized," or that the stock market is "activer" by reason of a bull movement. But the press report? ers exhaust even Southern patience when they inform TBE NEWS that two robbers "hvjhwayed^ James lllimann, and that their victim was "Iiospitalled." As long as night editors know that "high "wayed" Is equivalent " to committed a "highway robbery upon," and that "bospi "talled" means "sent to the hospital," the press reporters will continue to use the mon? trons words in which their frugal souls de lght. And, so long as the hybrids do not ro beyond the precincts of the newspaper )ffice in which they are received, no hat m s done. It ?3 no worse for a reporter by telegraph to Inform his journal that two trains "collided," os standing for "came "into collision," than it.is for a merchant to telegraph his correspondent that "Jones 1 "Pulled Brown's Nose," meaning, when the ' cypher is written out, that "cotton is firm, ' "with an upward tendency, and receipts are "expected to be light." The injury is done when the public read the newly-formed words, and accept and use them in writing and in talking. If we value the purity of ! our tongue-and the corruption of language is the sure sign of tbe decline of a people- i we must lie in wait at the doors of news? paper offices and counting-rooms, allow no illegitimate expressions to go abroad, pro? hibit their use by those we control, and, as far as may be, bide their existence from the fast youths who delight in slaLg, and from the thoughtless elders who ought to know belter. "W: We do not expect to see tb is reform ac? complished in a day. The work must, we confess, begin at borna But we intend to do our part in keeping the pre33 free from slang phrases and bastard words, and we doubt not that our Southern contemporaries will willingly do ihe same. During the past live years there has been a great change Tor tbe better in one depart? ment of American journalism.* The dignity and scholarly style of the leaders In some few of the Northern newspapers is creditable alike to the taste and intelligence ol their managers. Mach, of course, remains be? hind; but something will be gained if the telegraphic horrors, some of which we have named, be systematically excluded from the columns of the Southern presB. ?mural Notices. of Kr. and Mrs. EDWARD LAC ASS AG.NE, and of Ur. and Hrs.
