H A BE AS .CORPUS.-Tho Montgomery I
(Alabama)" Advertiser revives tho anec
'dote of tho interview of Mr.Hehry Lau?
ren e, bf South .Carolina, in 1870, with
Lord Shelburne, when the writ of habeas
corpus became tho subject of conversa?
tion. Mr. Laurena, wat! appointed mi?
nister to Holland by the Continental1
Congress, in 1780, ho was cup tu red before I
roaching his destination, and detained in
tho Tow,er of London for more than a
year. In the- meantime,1 the able Lord
Shelburne bocame" .premier and,Laurens
was released, aud- even treated with
j great kindness by tho British oflloials.
On one occasion, while he. was dining
with Lord Shelburne, the conversation
turned on. the independence .of the
j American colonies, when Lord Shelburne 1
quietly observed: .
"I om. sorry for your people." "Why
HO?" asked Laurena.. "They will lose
the habeas corpus,"waa the reply. "LOBS
tlie habeas corpusl'.'. said ' Laurens.
" les, " said Lord Shelburne. ' * We pur
I chased it with "centuries of. wrangling,
many years of fighting, and- had it con?
firmed by at least fifty Aots of Parlia?
ment. All this taoght tho nation its
value, nnd it is so ingrained into their
I creed as the very foundation of their li?
berty, that no man or party will ever
dare trample on it. Your people will
I pick -it up and attempt to use it; but
having cost them nothing they will not
know how to appreciate it. At the first
great internal feud that you have the
majority will trample on it, and the peo?
ple will pormit it to be done, and so will
go your liberty 1" - 1 1
In view of the Ku Klux aud bayonet
election bills, it would seem as if these
omin?os anticipations had boen literally
verified. Let us hope, however, that
this is but a brief episode, the long con?
tinuance of which the people will not
permit.
THB NOBTH GERMAN "EAGLE BIRD."
The shape and attitude of tho eagle of
North Germany, to be portrayed on the
imperial arms, have boen the subject of
brisk disoussnion of late. By the Fede?
ral Council it has. been finally deter?
mined that the North German eagle
j shall henceforth have bot one head,
whioh appendage shall look to the right,
und have above it in a glory the imperial
crown. On the breast is to appear a
shield, and on that shield the FroBsian
I eagle, each wing with B?X broad and five
narrow feathers; and, finally, the claws
aro to be all jlaok, the red talon? of the
old device to be henceforth discarded,
und tho tail is to appear in "Innaldin de?
lineation," whioh the New York World
understands to be a technical way of ex?
pressing that it ie to bo puffed out fun
shape, after the similitude of a turkey
; gobbler in the first flush of love. The
feet.of the bird, wo must add, are not
to hereafter grasp anything.
A foreign correspondent, writing from
Berlin, gives somo interesting particulars
of present affairs in the Empire. Emi?
gration from Germany to America,
whioh it was supposed would cease with
I a "regenerated Germany," is rather on
I the increase. Tho conquerors, not con?
tent with the Bpoi ls of war, aro engaged
in demonstrating that they have gained
by it 60,000 laborers, altbongh they ac?
knowledge a lose of 42,000. This arith
1 metio is based on a calculation of the
number who would have emigrated if
there had been no war, the number ex?
pelled from France, Seo. According to
this logio, Germany would have been
still better off if all the laborers had
' been killed. The Government', Jar from
reducing, is studiously increasing the
army, it is intended manifestly that the
German army shall bo the most formi?
dable that the world has ever'seen. The
line will comprise from 150 to 1G0 regi?
ments of infantry, of three battalions
each, eighteen battalions of rifles, 100
regiments of cavalry and eighteen brig?
ades of artillery. Eaoh battalion holds
1,000 men. Then there- are SB many
regiments 'of landwher to correspond.
These forcee ore ail to be drilled in the
various arts of war, not excluding tho
railway service and' mechanical fikilL
The navy is to bo also strengthened as
fast as circumstances will permit, and
tho works.at Wilhelmauaveu aro hoing
employed in building additional iron
! duds.

None of the dootor's maps or instruments

A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL AND Hen BRAVE
RESCCBR.-A few mornings since, "little
Ettie," a bright-eyed, curly-headed five
year old, belonging tq^Mr. and Mrs. Por
vislt, living on Main street, just South
of Thomas & Parry's livery stable, took
a plunge bath chat came ni ar resulting
fatuity. There is a deep well on tho
place, holding some fourteen feet of
water. It has no curb, und water is
drawn by means of a rope. "Ettie" hud
been watching Mr. Thomas drawing
water from the well in a bucket, which-1
she called a "kettle." Tho rope broke,
and the "kettle" went to the bottom.
This troubled tho little ono, and after?
ward, iq peering into the well, looking
for the kettle, ehe lost her balanco, and
plunged head first into the welL Her,
mother heard her scream as she toppled
over, ran into the yard, and happening,
by the merest chance, to glance into the
well, saw "Effie" as she came to the sur?
face the first time. . Powerloss herself,
she ran to the livery stable, shouting at
every step, "Effie's in the well, Effie's iu
the well." Mr. Thomas was at tho well
in no time, and, without & momeut's
thought aa to how be waa going to get
out, plunged iu, bracing himself as best
he could against the smooth walls as he
weut down, and reached the water in
time to meet Effie "ou the way ap" the
second time, and, of course, rescued
her. ?8 soon as the little one could get j
water anoogh out aod breath enough in
to speak, she said to Mr. Thomas:
'Jack, I have found your 'kettle;' it was
clear down to the bottom," and, sure
enough, she had the rope tightly clinched
in her little fingers. We hardly know
which to admire, the bravery of the mau
who risked his life to save that of tho I
little girl, or the coolness of the child in
huating up tho "kettle" wheo fourteoo
feet under water.

THIERS ON THE INCJOMB TAX.-In thc1
French National Assembly, a proposal
was lately made to levy a, tax upon in?
comes as a means of increasing the re?
venue of the French republic. Presi?
dent Thiers resisted the proposition with
great energy. "If this tax," be said,
"only impoverished the rich, I should
not pity them, but ia tho proseat state
of society, each a tax would be a source j
of disorder. Read tho admirable book
written by Vauban, and you will see
that the inepmo tax is, iu another form,
the most odious of those taxes which
were abolished by the revolution, and
we are asked to impoBo it uo'w, not in
peaceful times, but ia the midst of dis
turbauoe and uncertainty. This tax is
nothing but a party instrument, to be '
used alternately by one party against
others. I should be a coward if I did
not declare that I will never consent to
this tax." It is a pity that oar owa
miora oouhtu't be penetrated with a lit?
tle of this good sense and wisdom.
This ia the way one extraordinary
freak of nature is accounted for. Annie
Brown for years excited rural communi?
ties by exhibiting au unusual canso of
affliction, and has been given over by
many doctoro as one beyond oure. She
has apparently been troubled with a
soake, whiob, at intervals, thrust its
head out of her mouth and instantly re?
treated down her throat. A suspicious
physician in Wayne County Infirmary
prepared for sharp work, tho other
morning, and when the snake appeared,
seized the poor woman by tho neck, so
that the reptile might not retreat. Lo,
.whoa disgorged, nothing more formida?
ble than' aa India-rubber imitation of u
snake came forth, and now Annie's occu?
pation is gone.

We have frequently heard of men who
had ill lack in marriage; butThos. Fran?
ois, of Albany, has boen particularly un?
fortunate in that relation. U?B Grat wife
killed herself thirty-four years ago; nine
years after his second spouse ran away
from him, and died of destitution in Illi?
nois; six years later, his third consort
was drownod. In 1858, his fourth help?
mate was killed, and ho, having been
convicted of the murder, was seul to
prison for life, but pardoned out. In
another deoade, the partner of in's bo?
som mysteriously disappeared; and vory
recently tho sixth wedded idol of Iiis
soul sought pcaco and oblivion by bang?
ing herself to a bed-post. Tho accumu?
lation of years aud experience having
made Francis a philosopher, he bears his
con nair al bereavements with - fortitude

Tho Nowuan (Gu.) Defender, relates the
following timely und benevolent action
of an ox:
"Last week a little boy was passing
through the yard of ?ne of our citizens,
when ho was suddenly assailed by a huge
mastiff. The dog had succeeded in
bringing the boy to tho ground, and was
in the act of plunging his teeth into his
flesh, when an ox, standing near, eutered
the aronn, lifted the dog upon his horns
and carried him off, to the joy of the
little boy. It is not positively ascer?
tained whether love for the little boy or
hatred for the dog prompted tho inter?
ference of the ox.

Mr. Boutwell, the infallible finanoier,
is so no longer. One of bis grandest |
schemes-the new loan-has come to
grief. Upon the principle of making
water roo up hill, he undertook to
demonstrate how people ought to invest
their money at five per cent., when it
commanded seven. On paper he|
"plseed" the whole of it, and then paid
off the national debt with magic celerity
-also on paper. Thereat a proau of I
praise went np throughout the country
for Boutwell and his master; but now,
peste take it, we discover that tho
chickens we counted are not destined to
be hatched, after all. Nobody will look

taken, and that by the national banks.

A COKPEESION^- A young lady! who
seems to be thoroughly posted <on the'
subject, tell? bow her eex, in a measure, '
spend tho Sabbath. Alluding to ber.
ideal, she says: . ? ,[?' . I? oi
"About 8 she; awakes, looks at the
cloak, and, with' a ??gb, exclaims,-''oh, .
dear! thor o is - the breakfast bel), bot I
will sleep a little while, don ger, for I ara's
sorel will have plenty of time to -dress
for church.' In tho coarse pf an hour
she awakes, gets a little breakfast; and *
then eorninonces to dress. Tho 10
o'clock bells ring, and still she is not
near ready; she calls Kate to assist ber,
and, going to the-window, says, dear mel !
I will oever.be ready; there is Tom com?
ing np the steps, and he does hate to
wait fOr any one. Kate) get'Day'-gloves
oht of the top drawer; and my parasol is
somewhere, I am sore I can't toil Gxnclly
where; do hunt it np. Perhaps iVis on
the hall table there.- ? How does my dress'
hang? Are yon sore yon can't see the
paint on my face? lloro, . button my
gloves, and get my hat; now; I believe I
nm dressed at lost; but the bell -stopped'
tolling a long while ago/ : She apologises
to Tom for the delay, pleading lots of
o ic uses. During the sermon is absorbed '
by tko dress of others.- As soon as din?
ner is over ehe goes to her room-and
tries to arrange her bair as she saw Mrs.
B.'s in the .--morning, and - says to lier
mother, 'It is a mystery to me how Miss'
J. can dress so magnificently, When ber.
father is in only moderate circumstances;
but -she did have on such a beautiful
green silk, and her hat was perfect; and,
would you believe it, ina. Mr. Gi WAS
there with that horrid Miss O. I don't'
see.how his family can aile-wit, when she
is only a dress-maker's daughter.' These-'
and similar remarks are passed . on tho.
majority of the congregation, then with
a novel she whiles away the ufternoan ;
for we .Americans have- adopted the',
English fashion, and think once a'dayflo'
sufficient, to attend church. In th?tiven
ing abo entertains lier gentlemen friends
with tbs sews sud gossip o? Sbed?y? s^A
retires at u Into hour, thinking within
herself she bas spent a pleasant And 'pro?
fitable day."
