Modern Giants.?The raoe of giants is not extinot; nnd Barnum might make a fortune by bringiug over the Goshen family from Turkey in Asia, who are de? scendants of Auakims, of Palestine. Colonel Buth Goshen, thirty-three years old, one of this family, now residing in Algooquin, Illinois, born among the hillB of Palestine, and seven feet and eight inches in height, recently entered tho office of the Scientific American. He is the fifteenth and last child (the baby) of a family of fifteen?ten sons and five j daughters?sired by a patriaroh now ninety years old, living iu the valley of Damascus, and by occupation a coffee planter. This venerable siro weighs at the present time 520 pounds avoirdu? pois, and his wife, aged sixty-seven, weighs 560 pounds. The entire family uro living, and not one of them weighs less than 600 pounds. The oldest sen weighs 630 pounds, and the youngest (tho oolonel) outstripping them all, weigha 670 pounds. Not one of the family is loss than seven feet in height. Buth was a colonol iu the Austrian army in 1859, and a colonol commanding in the Mexican army at the battle of Pueblo, May 5, 1862, in which the Mexicans were victorious. His father, atone timo, resided at Leeds, England, but returned to Turkey in 1845. The colonel married in Leipsio, Germany, a woman weighing 190 pounds and fivo feet nine, inches iu height; the union has beeu blessed with two eons, who give promise of rivaling their father in statue. He is a finely-proportioned man; walks with a firm and elastic step; is as straight as an arrow, and bus ooal black eyes, hair und moustache. "Max Adeler" disouesHs the power of music: Wo have Beeu iu one of the papers an article upon "The Power of Musio," in which tho writor describes how, when he would play his flute at his parlor window, a toud would come out from under the front step and appear to drink iu the delicious melody with an air of rapturous exultation. This must bo tho man who lived across the street from us. We have noticed several times that a toad came out and sat on tho step when tho man began to play the flute; but wo always thought it was for the purpose of ascertaining what sort of an idiot it was making such a horriblo rack? et in a peaoeful neighborhood. Sure enough, day before yesterday, when tho playing begem, out came the toad, unable to stand it any longer. He had an an? other toad with him, and they went aud got the lid of an old blacking box, and fixed a string to it, and packed into it their little store of dead flics and things, and three or four small toads, and all their domestic comforts, and hitched on to that string and began td* move down tho street in search of a new residenco. I Yes, animals have an appreciation of musio, and, knowing that fact, wo have often wondered how this toad stood it so close to that man with the flute. Is Kissing Among Physicians Privi? leged??The Court of Oyer and Termi uer was orowdod with spectators this morning to hear the summing up of District Attorney Winchester Britton in the case of Dr. Lucius B. Irish, oharged with conspiring with Mrs. Anderson to poison her husband. There were a num? ber of ladies present. Mr. Britton re? ferred to the abuse of the counsel for the defendant of the witnesses, Charles For? rest and others of the Coburn family, j Tho defence might sneer at the testimony j of the prosecution. It had been testi tied to by sovernl witnesses that on the occasion when they passed each other thoy would kiss. The counsel might at? tempt to sneer at this testimony, bat let the jury take it homo to themselves. When a physician is oalled in to attend their families they trust him, as thoy had [a right to do. What would they think to hear that the doctor had kissed their wives? Was that a necessary part of their duties? Was that a mode of ad? ministering modicine? \_Neto York Express, 24i/i. The Now York Herald says: "Ex Spoaker Orr, of South Carolina, has ar? rived in Washington, to receive his in? structions as Minister to Russia, and is being wined and dined by his old Con? gressional acquaintances and by tho Rus? sian Legation there." And tho Wash? ington Slar of Saturday says: "Ex Go? vernor Orr, of South Caroline, our new Minister to Russin, called upou the Pre? sident to-day, with whom he had a long interview. Ho expects to sail for St. Petersburg in January." Tho Honston (Texas) Union says that the Bait works belonging to the Messrs. Graham, and looatcd ou Salt Creek, in Young County, have become a success. At the depth of 260 feet salt water of great strength has been readied, besides a copious supply of gas, which will be used as fuel iu tho manufacture of salt. A largo quantity of first-rate Bait has al? ready beeu produced, and tho manufac? ture will henceforth go forward on an extensive scalo. At about a quarter past 6 o'clock Fri? day morning, a fire broke out in Henri Maillard's 'confectionery establishment, 156 to 162Meroer street, adjoining Hous? ton, consuming tho building aud the res? taurant aud hotel, 623 Broadway. Tho firo was extinguished by OA. M., after causing a loss, iu building and slock, of nearly $250,000. Death on the Railroad.?A man by tho name of Roberts. Hughes, who baa been iu the employ of tho Western Union Telegraph Company at this pluoo for tho past tix or eight months, as wire tender, was found dead near Mars' BlulT, on tho Wilmington, Columbia aud Au? gusta Railroad, ou Tuesday last. "Sunnyside," onco tho Virginia home of Madison, has beeu sold for $5,600. - i\ Railroad Aootdhnts and Precautions. The 1st? Buffalo and Fitteburg Railway accident was accompanied by oiroum Btancos of unusual horror. For paBson ger oars to be thrown from trestle-work some twenty feet high, and striking the ground top downwards, crushing in the oars and oloBing up tbe windows, would seem as fearful a catastrophe as travelers could enaoaoter, yet to this was added tbe appalling horror of the oars taking fire, while the imprisoned viotima were unublo to esoapo, and filled tbe air with terrifying shrieks. The details of the mutilated and charred limbs and bodies dragged out from the cars by ropes are simply hideous. Yet all this will bo for? gotten in ten days by a people wbose morbid tentimentality revoltod at the idea of patting murderers to doath. Whether any oue is responsible for this fearful calamity or not remains to be seen. But it is most important, espe? cially at this season of the year, that there should bo a minute inspection of rails and machinery by tho officials of every road, and that they should boar in mind tbat it is belter to make alow time than expose the traveling publio to the hazard of such unspeakable horrors as those of the Buffalo and Pittsburg Bail way wreck. Broken rails and fractured wheels are incident to the severe oold of the season, aud in all quarters greater watchfulness will bo necessary. - Compudsoby Voting.?Tho idea of legislative onaotments, both State and National, ' providing for compulsory voting, has boon broached at various periods for several years past, particular? ly in the North. A new impetus has been given to it of lato from tho recent Presidential election returns, which dis? close the fact that hundreds of thousands of votors, including multitudes in roaay of the most popular States, abstained from exercising what is considered the most sacred right of American citizen? ship. The proprioty of calling upon Congress to pass a law providing fines or imprisonment for those who neglect to vote is now being moro Seriously agitated than would bo imagined. .Speaking for tho future by the light of tbe pust, it is bard to say what Congress may or may net do. Col. Charles Naylor diod in Philadel j phio, on Tuesday last, in tbe 67th year of his age, of pneumonia. IIo was a raamber of Congress from tbo Northern Liberties distriot, from 1835 to 1811. At j the beginning of tho war with Mexico, he raised a company in Philadelphia, aud did service in the campaign, lie was the first to enter tho halls of the MontezumaB, and was appointed Go? vernor of the National Palace, which po? sition be maintained until the American army retired, which event occurred on tbe 12th of Juno, 1818. Col. Naylor was un able lawyer, und during his oveutful life, filled a number of posts of trust and and honor. The Potomac River Ice Blockade.? As regards color, the Potomac Rivor now cannot bo distinguished from tho land, and as far as the eye cau roach, it pre? sents, in either direction, a sheet of un troddeu snow, for it was covered with ice before tho snow storm commenced, and willingly received the covering af? forded it. Navigation is, of course, sus? pended for vessels of all descriptions, and no track has been made through its ioy coating since Friday last. In the Line op Promotion.?A Lon? don correspondent of the Boston Globe states that it is not at all unlikely that Mr. Benjamin, ex-Confcdcrato Attorney General, will be elevated to a judgeship, sooner or later. Ho is at this moment one of tho successful advocates at tho Eoglioh bar, with an enormous and growing practice. The appointment of a barrister of foroign descent to so high an office would be very unusual, if not unprecedented, in Great Britain. Tbo San Francisco Call soys: "Up to the present time, this season, 140 ves? sels have sailed from this port with 4,600,000 sacks of wheat, including a small quantity which has been sent forward by tho Panama steamers. There are thirty-two more ships taking in car? goes at tho present time. These will carry away 1,000,000sacks, which, added to 4,600,1)00 sucks abovo, will make a total of 6,000,000. There arc now on their way to this port 101 vessels, some fifty of which aro duo." Fire in Petersduro, Va.?On Thurs? day night, tbo largo tobacco factory of R. C. Odboruo, Joilereon street, Peters? burg, Va., was destroyed by fire, with its stock and fixtures. Three tenement houees adjoining tho factory, aud be? longing to Mr. Osborno, wcro also burned?tbo nearest ono having been first crushed in by tho falling of the rear wall of tLo factory. Sunflowors aro raised in Watonwith County, Minn., for fuel. Tho oily seed in tho dowers is found to make a hot tire, aud tbo woody stock, when dried, furnishes a good substitute for timber, which is very soarco in tbat region. It is estimated that two aorcs will produco enough to last an ordinary family through a loDg winter. Tho British bark, J. B. Daffus, at Charleston, for Bremen, with 2,210 bales of upland cotton on board, took fire Sa? turday night, in the cottou forward, and was filled with water by the cugiues and suuk at tho wharf. Tbe damage to cargo by salt water is largo. Shu will ho dis? charged. A Boston bard drinker says be doesu't liko tho idea of straigbtuuiug the streets when tho burned district is rebuilt. The by-ways and alleys were eo crooked that ho had a good excuse for another driuk, just to test tho question of sobriety, and ho cannot sco tho benefit of tho new im? provements. Fonest's property aggregate a $1,000, 000. Half of it is to establish a school to prepare actors for the hospital, which is to bo built with tho other half. A mau in debt is stoned every year. Thirteen "deacons" at Gardner, Me., were enjoying a nioe, qniet turkey raffle the night before thanksgiving in a hay mew, when one, more nervous than the rest, slammed the dice-box down on tho top of - the half-bushel measure so hard that tho candle tipped over, set fire to the bay, and about half the party went I home with their eye-brows singed off | and no pants or coat-tails to speak of. Rallies are no longer popular in Maine. [TitusviUe Press. The recent opening of a line of railway from Louisville to Montgomery, nearly 600 miles in extent, effected by the oom | pletion of the Sooth and North Alabama Railroad, is an event of Southern rail? way enterprise which mast prove of vast importance in the development of the ! great resources of that region, and espe? cially of tho rich mining districts in Alabama through which the road passes. j The sharpest, so far this month, is tho Troy girl who makes her unsuspecting father the daily bearer of sweet mi 3 I jives to a clerk in his office, who has been forbidden to visit his employer's house. She pins the letter in the old man's oloak, and when he reaches the office and throws off the garment the olerk gots it, and responds by tho same car? rier. William Webb, foreman of the railway works at St. AnsUll, England, has broken the web of life, a martyr to chemical science. He undertook the delicate experiment of drying twelve I cartridges of dynamito on the family cook stove. His wife, two children and father were with him in the house. The fields were littored with the frag? ments. When Southey was offered a half share in two newspapers, the Morning Post and the Courier, by which he could pro? bably have secured ?2,000 a year, he re? plied: "I will not give up the country, and the lazy reading of old folios, for 2.000 times ?2,000; in short, be j yond ?350 a year, I consider money as a real evil." They have compulsory education in Texas. The law requires that all per? sons under the age of fifteen shall at? tend school. A married lady in Hons ton, who has not yet roaohed the age I that would entitle her to exemption, at? tends school rogulatly and carries her baby with her. The London Times, in view of the great increase of drinking in England, exclaims: "Among all tho writers, all the talkers, all the preachers, all the workers, all the names we see daily blazoned on the roll of English fame, are there none that will set about to abate this nuisance ityl scandal?our national drunkenness?" The Raleigh (N. O.) Era eaje: We learn from a passenger, this morning, that a white shoe-maker, name unknown, in Greensboro, hung himself, last night, with a foot-strap to his mantel-piece. He was so determined ou breaking his leek, that, tho mantel-pieoe being most too low, he held up his knees with his hands. A new endeavor to make martyrdom popular is going on in England. En , thnsiastio Catholics now wear hair shirts, j and when habit shall deprive these of their discomforting potency, something more disagreeable will be invented. A shirt made from curry-combs, with the scrapers inside, might answer. Of the number killed in the accident on the Buffalo, Corry and Pittsburg Railroad, ou Tuesday night, twenty-one bodies have been recovered, and sixteen are bo charred as to be past all recogni? tion. For tho first time in the memory of any one living, a shook of earthquake was felt on Saturday evening, at Fortland, Oregon. The shock was also felt in parts of Washington Territory and Bri? tish Columbia. Take Notice. ALL poraons indebted to J. H.
