Remarkable Adventure.
Our citizens will remember bow the
ihowers came night before l:u>t, in l'rcqcunt
succession, .pouringt torrents while they
astcd, but stopping after a pour. Well,
here were, at S o'clock on that evening,
seven men at the point in Sycamore and
\bigall streets to which is completed the
jrcat sewer' which is really an up-tuwn exensionofthe
big Kgglcston Avenue sewer.
L'heir business is to clean the open,cnd of
hat sewer, so as to prevent delay to workncn
engaged in construct i ig it up Sycanore
street. It had occurred to them that
>y stirring the sediment at. the bottom of
li?? miooi. ?li/. uvi),.r from (lio showers
ruuld wash it away, and their work would
n this way be greatly expedited. Al'tcr a
ong cessation in the rain, they went into
I# sewer some distance and continued
heir work. While so engaged, one of those
icavy, sudden showers which charactorizd
the evening cauie up, and poured down
ts tremendous streams. The first warning
hey had of their peril was a sudden rusli of
raters upon them, carrying the whole party
fl' their feet. The four men nearest the
noutli of the sower escaped with difficulty,
tattling up stream agaiust a powerful
urrent; the other three were carried down
owards the river by the galloping tide of
efiled waters. Two of them caught at a
tan-hold near the canal, and succeeded in
unking themselves heard by theer four
ortunato conipauions who had escaped.
Ticy were drawn up to the solid ground by
licse. But John Clark, one ofthoir compalions,
was not so fortunate, lie continued
o travel down to Court street, where he
riade a short turn and thence proceeded bcnrc
the -flood, every moment increasing
1 . 1 .
lie waters to the avenue sewer, wncre ue
nadc a turn to the right, whcnco it was a
Lraight road to the river. Mr. Clark tells
lie story himself. lie says lie proceeded
own in the darkness, his back to the press
f waters and his face to their current. As
c could not stand up, he put himself as
early as possible in a sifting position, and
rent down the stream very much as a boy
lidos down hill on a sled, only Mr. Clark
ad no sled. Coming to the mouth of the
swer, where its waters discharge into the
)hio River, he cried for htlp. !Mr. Lewis,
'ho lives in a tenement wharf-boat at that
oint, and who hires row-boats to parties,
card his cries, came to his relief, and
aved him. Mr. Clark, last night, cxibited
a badly torn pair of pants, and a
retty roughly bruised body.
Model Lover.?The model lover of the
eriod lives in Danbnry, Connecticut. The
iarenlsof his sweetheart are opposed to the
natch, but it doscn't make him proud.
Sometimes the old gentleman reaches him
nth his boot before lie can get over the
encc, but the young man doesn't lay up ill
eelingson account of that; lie only smiles
t the dcspoilcr of' liis pantaloons when lie
ueets him, and calls it "heaping coals of
ire on his head." The other evening he
bought he would got up a surprise for the
Id chap. lie put a paving stone in each
f his coat-tail pockets, and started for the
ence as usual. The old gentleman let out
or him with increased enthusiasm, and
aught him?caught him good. Then lie
ay down on the grass and said, "J die by
lie hand of an Assassin." lint the young
nan passed on without a word, and suiiled
lie most heavenly smile of forgiveness ever
ecu on that street.
Grant Driving a Load of Hides.?
)uring the year 1S5S there appeared in the
illagc of Poto'si, a man seated upon a load
f green hides. lie had a mule team, and
lopped to iiujuirc the way to Galena. In
'otosi at that time, lived one Pat. Dgrsey a
tan who loved excitement, and was sure
o get up a horse race if possible. On that
ay, in 185S, Horsey had made a race, and
lu> mnn with the hides saw tha crowd
;athcring, and asked the cause. lie was
old tlicy were going to have a horse race,
nstead of going to Galena he turned his
null's about and drove to the race course.
In 1871 the Congress of the United States
rcre in scsseion, fighting over the San
)oiningo and Ku Klux affairs. A man sat
n the Presidential chair who wanted Congress
to adjourn, so that lie could repair to
jong Island to see the opening of the
Spring races. The man who wanted to go ;
o Long Island theii, and the man who j
wanted to see the quarter race in 1'otosi in
1858 , are one and the same man?Ulysses
5. Grant.
Is it to be wondered at that a man who
vould neglect his employer's business when
iut gathering up hides for the tannery,
vould hesitate to squander the people's
inie when elevated to a higher position ?
")ld habits grow and become chronic, and
j rant's interest in horse racing is greater
iow tliau it was in 1858.
A IIf.autiful Skntimknt.?The following
beautiful sontiment was recently uttered
>y Judge.L. T. Snoad:
"The idea that a judicial officer issupposod
? he vested with ermine, tlumgli fabulous
ind mythical, is yet tnorc eloquent in its full
lignificance. * We are told that the little
;rcu(ure called ermine is so acutely sensitive
:o its own cleanliness that it becomes paralyzed
and powerless at the slightest touch of
Icfilcment upon its snow white fur. When
he hunters are pursuing it they spread with
jure the pass leading to its haunts, towards
vhich they then draw if, knowing that it
,vill submit to he captured rather than defile
tself. And a like sensibility should belong
o him who comes to exercise the august
unctions of judge."
Senator Trumbull stated in a speech at
Indianapolis, that theue was money enough
quandered by office-holdors under the Fcd;ral
Government every year, to buy a house
ind farm a;i(J give SI,000 to every man in

SuMNEIt..VID THE CoLOllKD MAX.?TllC
National ltepublican of this morning having
stated that no colored man in this city will
accept Senator Sumner's advice or approve
his course, a number of leading colored men
have addressed the following letter to the
editor of that paper:
Washington August 1.?-Wo, the undersigned,
having road the/olio.vingin your
issue this morning, namely: "Wc have not
yet seen or heard -of one colored man in
this city who will accept his (Mr. S manor's)
advice or approve his course, and we hereby
throw our columns open to all who desire to
announce that they will be guided by his
advice, or wish others to be guided by it."
meaning the Honorable CharLs Suiuncr,
we therefore are willing not only to announce, '
but to afiinn our readiness to accept his 1
advice and follow his teachings. Knowing j
as well as wc do what'lie has done for us a >
people, long before the editor of the Re- *
publican bud made up his mind to become 1
one of the number of our now many friends, s
We therefor declare .his motto to be ours: f
"Unity of the Republic. Equal rights to
all, and reconciliation." Signed: David
Fisher, Secretary; W. II. A. Warmley, J
J. J. Kctchum, John A. Gray, James i
Wormley, Geo. D. Johnston, It. W. Touip- 1
kins, C. A. Electwiod, John II. Butler, Jr., t
Win. J. Wilson and II. M.Brown. . t
The above names include some of the
leading colored men of Washington. They
arc well known hero not only as men of <j
intelligence, but mcli of property. 1
The Detroit Free Press, in a sensible article
on the antagonizing of the races, says \
that the Radicals are nfaking great efforts t
in thaSouthern States, through their office v
holders, their press and their leagues, to *
convince the negroes that the Democratic v
party is the white man's party, and thai the ,
Republican party is. the one for the blacks, j
The blacks have become so imbued with this ]
idea tluit through the whole South they arc j
a unit for Grant. In allying themselves to t
a'ny political party the negroes make a great j
mistake. Their interests arc identical with T
those of their old masters. We would not x
have them slavishly follow the' dictates of ,
any because they once obeyed their simplest ]
nod, nor at the same time to blindly livo up .
to do and do as they are bidden by leaders (
who use them for their own aggrandize- ]
nicnt. The blacks should look at tho epics- ]
t-ion of parties just as other men do, and attach
themselves to 0110 or the other, just a? ,
they find this one or that one in accord with 1
their sentiments on living issues of the day .nod ]
not from supposed motives of gratitude vote ,
for any one set of candidates. The blacks ,
are in the numerical superiority in hut two '
States in the South. In less than another (
decade there will be a minority even in (
these. Hy arraying themselves a unit 011 ,
one side or (lie other, they force (he whites, ,
as a matter of self-protection, to the other.. (
This antagonism of the races which the Ha- (
dicals arc ciulcavoving to secure will work to (
the injury of the black; but what do the (
Radicals care for this? They have no re- j
gard for the negro any further than he can j
be made to suit their purposes. . .

W11 at c(?N sttt ut KB A If A ritual DRUNK- ;
Attn?Tuk Dixkaxk ok Ixkrhi kty.?The i
select committee of the 1'lnglisli House of
Commons appointed to inquire into the best f
plan for the control and management of ha- t
bitual drunkards, have made a report, from (
which it appears' that they have examined
constables, magistrates, coroners, inspectors (
of insane asylums, managers of reformatories,
physicians and surgeons, from different sections
of Great Britain and Dr. Raffish, of N.
York city, with his colleague, Dr. Dudgc, of :
Binghamton, New York, and have presented i
i~ il./v If..,...,-. ,f 1.1m vnuiilf of limit- /
careful and deliberate inquiry. c
A lew points of their report will bo*no- i
liccd, as follows: 1
" An entire concurrence of all the wit- t
nesses in the total and absolute inadequacy r
of the existing laws to check drunkenness."
' That small lines and short imprisonment 1
are useless." t
" That occasional drunkenness frequently a
passes into the condition of a diseaseaineon- i
trullablc by tbe individual." l
"Thatself-control is suspended or annihi- s
latcd'." i
" That this is confined to no class, coudi- c
tion, nor sex, npr hardly to any age." i
" That tlu> moderate use of alcoholic li- i
quors is unattended by any had effects, while l
there is much to prove that excess in ardent 1
spirits is far more deleterious than similar i
excess in wine and beer." . I
" That it is in evidence that there is a?ve- t
ry large amount of drunkenness among* all
classes and both sexes, which never becomes
public, or is dealt with by the authorities, 1
but which is probably .even a more fertile \
source of misery, poverty and degradation 1
than that which conies before the public c
courts." (
"That there is a difference 'between tho (
paroxysm of intoxication and insanity pro- 1
per, so distinct as to forbid the plea in bar r
of punishment that an offence was committed 1
While drunk ; still placing the inebriates in 1
lunatic asylums is improper and should not I
he allowed." c
" That when acts of violence or other of- i
fences arc superadded to .the drunkenness, i
tho ordinary punishment awarded by law to
those offences should he carried out, and
committal, to a reformatory,' may form pari
of a sentence, or it may be left to (he discretion
of the magistrate to send him atonce to
an inebriate reformatory."
" That sanitaria or inebriate reformatories
are producing considerable good in effecting
amendment and cures in those who
have been treated in them."
"The committee recommend that sanntaria
or inebriate reformatories for those who,
nothstauding the plainest conditions of health
interest and duty, are givon ovor to the habjt
of intemperance, so as to render tlicmun- ]
able to control themselves, and incapable of j
managing their own affairs, or such as to |
render them in any way dangerous to them- ;
I
jclves or others should be provided : that
these should be divided into two classes?
private for those who can pay their own
ivay, and public for those who cannot."
There is a peculiar satisfaction in listenin;.'
to the covcrsation, or in reading the wrf
;ings of positive men?of those who deal
m!y in facts, and with such facts as have
mt one side anrl no exceptions. Such a

331 Electric Discharges in Seven
Minutes.?A most femarkable exhibition
of atmospheric electricity took place-in Arlington,
between 12 aud 1 o'clock. Brilliant
streams of the electric fluid darted
athwart the sky in every direction, and the
thunder which followed was constant for a
period of thirteen minutes, without the intermission
of an instant of silence. One
flash of lightning followed another in such
rapid succession as to excite curiosity to
know how many passed in a minute. With,
watch in hand, I counted them for scvcu
minutes. First minute, there ware 51 vivid
flashes; second minute there were 42 vivid
flashes; third minute, there were 30 vivid !
flashes; fourth minute, there wore 47 vivid

The Bankrupt Law.
*" From the Yorkville Enquirer.
Mr. Editor: As doubts have been expressed
as to the extent of the relief afford- i
ed by tho,bankrupt act of 1867, and the several
amendments thereto, I deom it proper 1
to submit the following statement:
Th'c amendment to the act, approved 10th i
Junc, 1872, allows the bankrupt all tb<i pro- ,
perty exempted by the laws of each State of J
force iu 1871, in adpition to five hundred
dollars worth of property allowed under the
original act. # i
This gives to each "bankrupt In this State, 1
two thousand, dollars worth of property, to- 1
wit.: Ono thousand dollars' worth of redl i
cstato and one thousand dollars' worth of
Dersonal estate. After the bankrupt has
been discharged this property becomes hjs '
absolute estate to disposed of as ho chooses, [
either by gift, devise or otherwise.
It is not necessary, as has been supposed,
that the estate of the person applying stall (
pay fifty per cent of all his debts; but if 1
the estate which comes into the bauds of the ?
assignee is sufficicient to pay fifty per cent, .
of his individualdebts, contracted since January
1, 18G9, exclusive of the debts con- (
tracted before that time, he is discharged '
from all individual debts contracted before
that time, and from all his security debts
whether contracted before or after that time,
Icaving-not'ning to be paid but his individu
al debts contracted after Jan. 1st, I860.

Y.) 117tii/: "Some three months since Dr.

at that time it was one of the many catch-,

following wonderful esse of what is called
catalepsis:
On Wednesday, July 31st. Mr. C. A. Powers,
an old resident of St. John's County,
laid himself down to enjoy a short nap, feeling
somewhat. fatigued after a morning's
hard labor. In a few moments he was in a
sound sleep. The hours flew swiftly by and
still he slumbered on, apparently in the enjoyment
of a healthy, refreshing nap. Night
came, and still lie slept a sleep from which no
one could wake him. The family became alarmed.
and a physician was sent for. Jlvery
method conceivable was used to awaken him,
even to the application of red lmt irons, hut i

Terrible Results - op' a Bite on the
Finger.?Adam Miller, residing in sixtyeight
street, between First and Second
avenues, appeared before Justice Cultcr at
the Yorkville Police Court yesterday and
complained that his wifo, Elizabeth, was
uow an inmate of-St. Luke's Hospital from
injuries received at the hands or, more
properly speaking, the mouth of a neighbor,
named Catharine Hillman. On the 8th of
June last, he stated his wife had a quarrel
with Mrs. ilillman, who bit the middlo
finger of her left hand in a serious manner.
The intervention of more peaceable spirits
calmecl the rago winch hurncu iikc a volcano
in Mrs. Miller's breast, and the Police
Court, that great outlet for the bite of mankind
but more especially of womankind,
was not resorted to at that time.
Remedies were applied to the bitten linger,
but instead of getting better, it got
worse, and now it may have to be cut off altogether.
On Friday last, Mrs. Miller was
removed to the hospital, and it was not till
then that she and her husband learned of
the serious nature of the wound from which
she suffers. The certificate of Dr. Hitchcook,
the attending physician, will show
this. He says: "Mrs. Miller was admitted
to this hospital on the 9th inst., suffering
from a lacerated woui\d of the middle finger
of the left hand. Eresypelous inflammaination
had set in along the whole arm. De
sides, u portion ot dead done was removed
therefrom, both being the result of the injury
received. Her condition necessitates
tho forcible removal of the finger, and possibly
more serious operative measures, the
results of which may be very serious. Mrs.
Ifilluian was arrested, and in default of SI
000 was committed to answer.
