Streugth and courage ever command respect and forbearance from power, when only exerted in defense or tesistav ce to wrong; and the South is stronger to-day, even after this defeat, brought upon us by the defection of her Northern allies, who dragged her into the position, for which they now seek to hold her responsi ble than she' ever has been aiuce the war.

There is no State in Europe in which '. the barbarous punishment of breaking on the wheel is inflicted on criminals except Servia, one of the semi-dependencies of Turkey. In Servia they have three methods of punishing murderers, highway robbers; and incendiaree. In the most aggravated cases execution by breaking on the; wheel is inflicted. In other cses the culprits are tied to chairs, and the headsman runs a sharp knife across their throats ancr then breaks their spine. If there are pecular circumstances of mitiga tipn the culprits are shot by a file of sold- ra. One of the most revolting crimes ever committed in Servia was the assassin; tion of the whole family of a wealthy farmer, named Detristisv. in Bialin Dis trict, ebat twenty miles from Belgrade. the capital of Servia. On the 24lh of April, Detristisy, a man of forty years of age, his wife, Susannah, twenty-nine years out, ana bis three children, Frances, Kathinka aud Arandas, aged respective ly twelve; nine and four years, were found in the house murdered. It was also dis covered that the mother aud the two daugh ters had been outraged. All the victims had been beaten with bludgeous and then stabbed. - An active search was at once made for the perpetrators. Two days afterwards they were discovered in a forest about four miles from where the crime had beeu committed. They were Sebastulus Alex iry, "formerly a non-commissioned officer in the army of the Sultan of Turkey, and Mosres Alexander Wcrthsttin, an Aus trian. When they, were arrested the of ficers found several handred zequius aud the watch of the murd. r -d farmer in their possession. They were taken in irons to Bucharest. , Upon being, brought before the examining magistrate they denied auy know ledge 6f the crime ; but the lath, which is there still used upon the menda" cious criminals, was not long in eliciting confession from the tortured Wcrthstein. After receiving fifty lashes ou the bare back, he confessed that Alexiry and he had brokeu into the house of the farmer in order to rob him of thieehundred se quins. 1 hey succeeded in lorcmg their way into the house, but were confronted by bim, whereupon a desperate scuffle en sued. The farmer fought valiantly, bnt they clubbed him, aud then fiuished him with their dirk knives. Alexiry refusing to confess, and remained firm uudepthe tor ture of the lash, freely administered by order of the magistrate. Both Alexiiy and Werthstein were fully committed. Their trial before the full bench of crimi nal judges came off on the 11th of Juno. It lasted but one hour. Both were found guilty of murder without extenuatingcir cums'anctt?, aud sentenced to be broken on the wluI. There was loud, applause in court when the sentence was pronounced. Alexiry hstenced to without emotion, erthstein however, broke into loud screams, tore his hairs and yelled for mercy. The of ficers -of the court had to drag hi ra back to bis cell. Ihe 14th of July was -fixed t for the execution. Ihey were to expiate their doom on the old glacis of the Bel grade, upon which Prince Eugene, of Savoy made one of his famt us assaults. The 'execution' was to take place at S. A. i Mf autl an enormous concourse assembled t0 witness it. .... ... The scaffold was circular, of wood, and the only distinctive ieature about it was a men. Next fallowed the car i po. in which the judges and the priest were seated. As tin procession emerged from the gate, loud shrickswere heard. They were those j f Werthstein, who, chained as he was, hand and foot, screamed to Heaven for bcln Under nroinarv iMri'tinwtaiippi I5j , api1eaIg migLt have Lad ,0U)e t.ff,cl u'pon the people. But, knowing the fearful ' c,mef which he and his accomplice had committed, tlitre was not a voice raised j,, his favor, and the soldiers were rather ; encouraged to punch him with the butt emjB cf their muskets. When the cri mi- o vi. iu x. v. 10. , i uli iut Vi lull- liahj had been bmught on the platform everv .tite.li nf .lntl.i.xr lft AIp.5 was torn off, and, he ws firmely tied to the St. Andrew's. ern. TTtil rhi mn. j ment ue had preserved his equanimity. i But now the executioner drew from the green bag a sort of iron club, with a knob at its head. The fastened criminal looked wistfully at the man who was to torture him, and then put him to death. The exi cutioner raised the iron club and crush ed Alexiry 'g right shoulder. The murder- erer ?ave a shriek, and made-a desperate ef fort to free himself. He struggled desperate ly iubis agony, but the blow which the exe cutioner gave him on the knee-pan elicited from the culprit a scream of pain that caused the blood of the spectators to freeze. After this infliction he seemed insensible, and the other blows that crush ed his joints and the finishing strokes ou his belly were given as to dead a man. Meanwhile, Werthstein, in his chains, had to look on. He rent the air with 1iia lamentations, and came near fainting away ywbeu th executioner dealt Alexiry the first olow. lie nung himself to the floor, and begged piteously for his life, but, af-. ter tW lifeless corpse of Alexiry had been detached from the fatal cross, he was drag ged to it, and in spite of his invocation, fastened like his accomplice. He yelled eyeu before he received the first stroke with the iron club; but when that instu ment of torture descended upon his shoulder joiut, he' gave ah unearthly scream, and the executiouer's blow upon his knee-pan made him howl still worse. F?ij fire miontea -an eternity under the SALISBURY N. C, NOVEMBER circumstances - he continued; lii yells, and it was not until the excationer rave him three heavy blows en ther'abdoraen that all was quiet, aud Servian justice was satisfied. A FAMILY ROBBED AND TOR TURED BY BURGLARS. A correspondent of the New York Uer ald, writing from Pittsburg, Pa, on the 16th, says : Tuusville in the oil regions is in a state of great excitement to-day over a most daring robbery, which wai, perpe trated there last night. While Hit fiinily of John Watson, residing on the hill op posite to old Hinkly refinery,' were at supper a party of men, numbering fivr, entered the bouse, and approaching Mr. Watson, with pistole in hand and masks on their faces, demanded Liij money. They cautioned the family nt to make the least noise, telling them Hiat it was their mouey they wanted, and that all must submit to be bound and gagged, and that if they mde the least resistance they would call in the balance of the gang, who were guarding the entrance outside. They proceeded to handcuff the family applying leg irons to the men John Watson and Archibald Stewart - the latter the eou-io-law of ihe former, at the same time gagging them, -and then tying the entire family together. They next ordered Watson to open his safe. The latter replied, "My money is all in War reu, deposited with my brother." They replied "We know whom you rt fer to, but your money is in the house, aud we must have it." Watson thereupon, with the muzzld of a huge revolver placed against his ear opened the eafe, aud something like two thousand dollars were abstracted. After the 8afe had been robbed the family were tied iika long row and com pelled to follow the thieves down in the cellar, then up through every room in the house, and at the peril -of their lives, in formation as to where valuables were kept was demanded and given After a thorough search the family were conduct ed back to the dining room. Mrs. Watson, Susan Stewart and Archibald Stewart, were placed on a lounge, blinfoldcd, iron ed and gagged, and tied to the stove, in such a manner that if they moved the stove would tip over upon them. The fiends then left the house, having remain ed about an hour aud a half, while the balance - nine in all were standing watch on the outside. In the hurry to tit part the lighted lamp was upset aud the house set on fire. The robbers then turned, as;d taking clothes from thew.trdrobes, threw them on the burning por.ion of the dwelling, and with the utmost difficulty succeeded in extinguishing the flames. Mr Watson was severely burned, but the robbers made no endeavor to pull him fiora the flames. James Stewart, a member of the family, arrived home after midnight and found the family in a sorry plight. The irons on Watson cut him into the bone, and he was bleeding pTolusely. Those on the other members of the family were also very painful, and were taken off only by severing them with a file. The thieves had handcuffs for evry member of the house, and thir pockets were filled with handkerchiefs. They had also a plenti ful supply of leg irons. The police were notified, and at o'clock this niormnf all th. linti-l-i in din . place were searched aud the town scoured but no ariesta have to far been made Tho villains have so effectively done their work as to give no clue to their where abouts. The greatest excitement exists in the oil regions over this devilish out ' T . 1 1 t rage. 11 ls'veiy evident that the party were aware that atson had money uis nouse, as tic had neglected to deposit a sum. the exact amount of which he doe not know. None of the family were seri ously injured but Mr. Su-wail, whose feet and hands are dreadfully burnd by the upsetting of a lamp. SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER THERE.

The sunlight that follows a shipwreck is not less beautiful though it shines upon the remnants of the broken bark ; what is saved is so much more precious than that which has been lost. The domestic ciicle is always too small to allow of rupture ; it is always too precious to make excusa ble any neglect to prevent or to heal dis tnrbance. There ar enough to minister by hints andrrports, to domestic unkind n ess ; and, unforluual" ly, the best, audi r such circumstances, are much pioue to mistake, and thus misrepresent motives ; and trifles, with no direct object, are magni fied into mountains of unintentional of fence.

Mr. Editou As I see from the secu lar pHpers that John Robinson is again on the tramp with his circus, and will visit this State, I wish you to publish, for the benefit of those pious Christians who pa tronize such things, the following sermon. or lecturejust as you choose to call it delivered in one of the upper counties of .1.:. c.. r, m.. iuis oiaie iwn years since oj one or his clowns. The sermon was addrped ia that portion of his audience who professed to Le Christians. Hi re it is. I give it to yon just as it was told to me by a gen tleman wno was present. It was iu the evening, when the peiformance was about to close, the clown strpd forward, and in a solemn tone addressed the vast assem- lage prrflfut, omifg which were hundreds of professing Christians of the different denomination?, Methodists, Baptist, Epis- copnuans, ana sbyteriai.f, Ju the lol- owhtg style : My fiier.df, we have taken in about . . . six hundred dollars here to-dav more money, 1 venture to say, than any minis ter of ihe gospel in this county will receive for a hnlo year' service. A larrf nor tiou of this money mas given by church members, as a large portion of tbii audi- nce is made up of the members of the church. And yrt when your preacher asks you for money to aid in supporting the gospel, you say you are too poor to give anything. Yet 3-00 come here and ay dollars to hear me talk my nonsense. I am a fool bee ntse 1 am paid for it ; I make my living by it. Yon profess to be wise, nnd yet you support me in my folly. JJut pi r hap you say vou did not come to see the circus, but the animal. Ah, now, this is all an excuse. If you came pimply to see the animals, why did yoa not look at them and leave? Why did you stay to hear my tiouseuse ? Now, ia not this a pretty place for Christians to be in ? Do you not feel ashamed of yourselves lou ought to blush with shame lobe caught in such a place as this !" At this juncture the crowd began to move off, headed by the church members present. hat a cene is this ! A vul var clown in a circus lecturing Christians n the impropriety and sin of going to such places ! A clown preaching against circuses ! Is it not time that all decent people were protesting against them? Imagine the follower of the blessed Jrsus at a circus ! And then, while there, think of his bowing his head meekly to hear a lecture 111 the evening from one who has entertained him all day with his vnle-ar peiformtinces, on tho evil of attending such places ! All this took place on Sat urday. On Sunday evening as I rode to my appointment, I met some cf these cir- g Christians on their way home from the viciui'y in which the circus was held. I asked them where they had been 1 "To the show," was their reply. "You mr-an the circus?" "We went to see the animals," they icplied, "there can be no harm in this." "Did yon not go iu to see the clown act ?" I asked. They respond, d in the affirmative. This conversation took place near the church w hore I was about to preach. It was the holy Sabbath. "Will you not stop and hear me preach?" 1 inquired. "Ve should like very much to do so l .r.l , t- nut i liner expects us tiome tins evening, as he shall need the horses to-morrow, and it would be too late to go home after preaching, they replied I said nothing more on the subject just then, for 1 bad another to occupy my time, and my heart was too s.id to give utter ancc to its deep feelings. A few Sundays afte r this, the wriier preached in the fame community and made a strong appeal in behalf of t! e c;.u e of missions. He took up a collection, and got four dollars am thirty-eight cents ! Sit hundred dollars rtnr a few hours nonsensical amusement aid four dollars nnd thirty-eight cents for the cause o' mis-sions ! ! ! Think of it, ye circus-going church nietnbets ! for 1 dare net call you Christians. Think of it, ye who help by your money and example to sustain such demoralizing things. How wiil you account to God for your beha vior? Whenever you start to the circus or theatre, think of the clown's sermon. llichmond Advocate. 11. W.J. BEAUTIFUL FAITH.

The trial of youpg Fewel, which baa been in progress for over a week at Brenu Tille. Virginia, for the murder of James F. Clarke, charged with abducting and ruining bis sister, and whom he shot dead while helpless aud defenseless, within the bars of a prison, resulted last evening in the rendition of a verdict cf not guilty, the jury btug out only a short while. Their retirement for deliberation thus ap pears only to have been as a raatUr of form. Of course the grouud cf aeqaital must lie somewhere amongst the proposi tions so ingeniously woven by counsel for the nse of the court in "instructing" the jury as to the ifs and bots wLicb might bo availed of to indicate insanity until after the shooting u done, and no long, cr. If any one thinks tie matter cf the fall of Uui Fewel has U-en in any way betteml, or society served, by the killing of Clarke, and now by the acquiu of the man who slew hire at every disadvanUgs, we do not.

If that force of public opinion which is now spent so questionably would torn itself to the good parpor-e of demanding and se curing efficient lrgitistioo for the punish ment of the seducer, or the meting out of justice according to the guilt of parlies in such casts, it would be far better for the community in the cud.

On Thursday the eldest, a boy of nine years, died ; on Friday another, and at last nccoiints the fourth was gasping its last. Two skillful physicians were unable to determine what the cause of death is, though they have been in attendance from the first and have seen all the phases of the strange disease. Many supposed the children had been poisoned, but this theory is disposed of. The bodies presented a very datk appearance, and were covered with blotch- es soon alter death.

An Indian, being among his white neighbors, asked lor a little tob.cco, and one of tin m l.aTing K.tnc lsc iu his pock et, gavs l.itu a handful. The day follow ing the Indian came back, inquiring for the donor, saying he hid found a quarter of a dolUr among the tobacco. Being t ld that, as it had been given to him, bo might as well keep it, he answered, point ing to hie breaet, "I got a good man and a tad mm here ; and the good man say it is not mine, 1 iuu.t return it to the owner; the bad roan siy, 'Why, be gave it to. you, and it is your own ;" the good man say, "ibui's not iiJT.1, the tobacco is yours, not the money ;" the bad man says, Never mind, you got it, go buy some dram ;" the good man says, "No, no! you must not do so;' 'to I dou'lknow what to do, and 1 think to go to sleep ; bat the good man and the bad man keep talking all night, and trouble me ; and ov-w I bring the mouey back I feel glad." Hard axd Soit Water. All house- wives may not know how material! v the effects of hard and soft wa.rr differ in tho cooking of various vegetables; while one ' i p cica i t vegetables requires bard or ' soft water as the case may be, another ' species becomes sensibly deteriorated by it. f or l-isUnce, peas and bcaui cooked m hard att r containing lime or gypsum will i.ot boil tender, because these lub stance3 har.len vgetabl-a cafctinr. In soft water they boil lender, and lose a ceitain raw, rank last, which tl..-y retain in b ird vrnv.r. M iny vegetables (onions) boil nearly t .td s i:i s 't water, b'fau'0 all the flaver i dissolved out. Tbe addi tion of sli often checks this, as in ease of onions, caut ing the vege tablea to re-, tain their peculiar tlivorhig principles, besides much nutritious matter which might be ltt in toft water. Thus it ap peals that the salt hardens the water to a degree. For extracting tLe juice of meat to make a broth of soup, soft water, un filled and cold at first, is best, for it much more readily penetrates the tissues; but f'T boiling meats where the jaices should be retained, hard water is preh rable, and the meat should be put in while it is boil ing so as to seal up ih Ktes at once.
