Thb RrvAii Saints.?The war between the rival Saints, Oolfax and Ames, daily increases in bitterness, and threatens in its progress to embroil all the States of two seotiooB of the Union. Saint Schuyler is the Western exemplar, Saint Oakoa is the paragon of the East. The Christian statesman received hia black eye at the hands of the noble Ames, while Old Honesty oharges his oraeked crown to the account of - Oolfax. The one says the other committed willful perjury and vice versa. Each has be? lievers, backers and adherents. If Mr. i Colfax had his ovation in South Bend, j Mr. Ames, had his triumph in North Easton. If Indiana prostrated herself at the foot of her hero, Massachusetts has arisen and called Oakes Ames blessed. Ab before noticed, the two men defend themselves by attacking each other, and in order to believe one the other must be found unworthy of credit. The public must reconcile matters bb best they-may. In South Bend tbty cheered Coi'ax and booted Ames! In North Easton they hurrahed for Ames and groaned for Col fax. We have before published what Coifax said of. Ames. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. The Alia California is pleased to be pahjsootologioal over a large vampire bat which alighted on the steamer Nevada when eighty miles from land, and which it describes as closely resembling "the terrodaotyl of the antediluvian ages." It admits, however, that "whether this ani? mal is a full and perfect vampire, whose feats of lolling man to sleep with the waving fan-motions of its wing, while anoklng in the victim's very heart blood, iB yet a question,' for it has-not beon ex? amined by any soicntifle man." Whe? ther the animal or the "feats" is the question, and whether it is the "heart blood" or the "question" which has not yet boen examined by any soientina man, are points which the writer has, perhaps, left somewhat obscure; but, of course, all readers who are familiar with the "terrodactyl" will take his real mean? ing. j Man Found Dead.?On Sanday night last, the* dead body of a white man named Belcher, a resident of the neigh? borhood, was found lying near the track of the Georgia Central Railroad, at Millen. Tho ouly wound, we hear, was upon ? tho back part of the head, which appeared to have been caused by a heavy blow infiioted by a passing oar, although it is possible that the unfortu? nate man may have met his death at the hands of a murderer, who placed the body near the railroad traok, in order to make it-appeur that he was killed by the cars. The engineer and firemen of a locomotive which a abort time prior to the finding of the body had been backed to the turn-table, near where it was dis? covered, saw nothing of the dead man, although the impression prevails that Mr. Beloher's death was caused by a blow reoeived from the tender of tho engine as it was being shifted. A Stbanoe Presentiment.?Mr. L. B. Leach, of tho firm of Trout & Leach, Wamego, Kansas, predicted several years ago, that his death would occur in the year 1873. Last fall he had his grave dug aud walled up; about three months ago ho stated that he would die in March, and had his coflin and shroud made and his tomh-stone engraved, with name, month of March and year, but the day left blank. Last Monday, the 10th, ho died. How is this to be explained? [Lawrence (Kansas) Journal. A Louisville teacher has nearly killed one of his pupils, and a Cincinnati school principal has qaito one of his, by too mach energy in castigation; and in view of the frequency of such accidents, 1 and the difficulty of gagging the power i I of pedagogue musclos, it has beon sug j geBted that the thrashing be done by ' machinery, so that a uniform foroe of foot pounds could bo applied to a given I surface of the pupil.

Who is She??There is a Senator in , Washington who has been utterly. rained, politically, and worse, by his] wife. We shall not here give bis ? name. She admitted that his political roin was duo to her. She mast Shine in society. He could not afford it honestly, bat she mast have a house coating 040,000 or to. Men asked how be eonld do ell this on his limited income, and the answer de? stroyed him. Thero began to be whim? pered that all this afcew, superinduced ! by the insane society ambitions of his wife, meant corruption, and tbe sus? picion was fatal. That politioal death1 has been .followed by his complete moral ruin in the late investigations. This is only suggestive; it is only one oase in hundreds of those swallowed up by the remorseless vortex whioh society in Washington has made for the weak and giddy.?New York Telegram. ? The Flre Fiend?Is never idle in this community, and tbi3 week we have to record another of his ravages. On last Friday, the 14th in et., while Messrs. Williford and MoOoy, who had been working in the blacksmith's chop on the | plantation of John S. Richardson, Esq., four miles from town, were eating their breakfast, tbe shop they had just left was discovered to be on fire. Before assist | anas ooold be obtained, the flames got beyond control, and the building was soon entirely destroyed. Whether it oaugbt from a ?ro?"'-.?1?. - - v .," ted from the morning fl work, or whether it was set on flre by an incendiary, who n?& been watching hin opportunity, will probably never' be certainly known. There is a possibility that it was acci? dental, while a strong suspicion exists that it was otherwise.Sumler News. Billy Forrester has been interviewed at the Joliet prison, and promises to put tbe authorities on the track of tho Nathan murderer if he is approached in the right way:- Ho says: "I know the whole plot, and know that certain New York officials are implicated in suoh a way as to make it necessary that none but detectives of Kolao's choice shall be pat on the case. They have now Sgfnt several thousand dollars an^d are no nearer the solution of the mystery than at tbe beginning. ' Let proper 'persons approaoh me, and the affair will no long? er be a mystery." Another joke here is' on step-mothers ?nnjnst.but amusing. At a mission Sunday school in Hudson, a little pupil was seen orying bitterly. Upon inquiry tbe teacher learned that he had lost his mother, and remarked to the boys that no one knew, until they experienced it, bow hard to bear was such loss. At this patbotio moment a wioked lad cried | out: "Obi let him wait till he gets step-mother?tbeu you'll hear him cry!" ! The wicked hd did not conclude with I statement of bis personal experience; but perhaps that was because he was suddenly called to order. . The old adage, "a fool for lock,' should bo changed to "a rogue for luck." For instance, a defaulting post? master in Michigan has been, for two years past, lookod up in the Detroit Houeo of Correction. Tbe other day, his wife, who is (strange to say) very fond of him, induced tho President to pardon bimv As she was on her way to bim with the pardon, she was informed of the death of bin father, who bar! left him a farm worth wo,COO.

J., that, in order to encourage aonnubiality they have established a fraternity called "The Newark Society for tho promotion of marriage." In the opinion of this organization marriage is tbe noblest in? stitution of modorn society, and should be promoted at whatever cost. A Massachusetts paper asks us to be? lieve that it cost a oouplo from that State SSO a day to board at a Washington hotel during the iuauguretiou festivities. Tbe incredible part of tbe otory is, not that a Washington hotel-keeper should ask such a price, but that any ono from Massachusetts should pay it.
