Three years f later he ! fell in love with a comely, bright, I Poor as they were, they were content and nappy. iMlwanl at once liegan to make coHections of, the objects gathered in his wAlkg He had acquired the art of pre- tvine birds as well as insects, Unfor- tunately he knew almost nothing of the . .li. i .ii n . uuuk.s, auu was unauie to write, tie am .,.f n..ua. -,-...t v.o .a oniric nvia uavut ajao- - ' tnpr -ml Hiil rf- lrnn- t.ttj. nf h ,t.:j. ..:..!. k .-.Vi i VilUt UIU iuuiumi tic K owe l n : :t. in uairno uc nu ib-iui-C, nuu. A-i ui , knowledge had been gathered by himself and was his own. To assist him in procuring specimens of birds and animals, Edward boucht an old . gun. It was so rickety that he had to tie : the barrel to the stock with a piece of thick twine. He carried his powder in a horn, and measured out his charges in the bowl of a tobacco-pipe. His shot was contain ed in a brown paper bag. A few insect bot tles, some boxes for moths and butterflies, and a botanical book for plants, constitu ted the rest of his equipment. As he did not cease work until nine o'clock at night, nearly all his researches were made after that hour. He had to be back to his work in the morning at six. His wages were so small that he could not venture to abridge his working hours. " He never spent a moment idly nor a penny uselessly. As soon as his work was done, he would set out, with his supper stowed away in his pocket to lose no time, and so long as it was light he scoured the country, looking for moths, beetles, birds, or any other living thing that came in his way. When it became so dark that he could no longer observe, he dropped down by the side of a bank, or bush, or a tree, whichever came handiest, and there he dozed or slept un til the light returned. Then he got up and again began his observations," which he continued till it was time to go to work. Sunday was his only day of rest. By twelve o'clock Sunday night, however, he was up and away. His neighbors used to say of him, "It's a stormy night that keeps that man Edward in the house.!.' In fact, he never staid at home except Sundays. Weather never daunted him. When it rained, he would look out for a hole in the bank and thrust himself into it, feet foremost. -lie kept his. head and his gun out, watching and waiting for any 'cas ualties that might happen. He knew of two such holes, both in sand banks and both in woods, which he occasionally fre- Iqnented They were foxes' or badger's j dens.

Sometimes he would take up his quar ters in a barn, a ruined castle, or a church yard. His objection to these places was the greater numbers of unpleasant visitors than elsewhere polecats, weasels, bats, rats aud mice, not to speak of hosts of night- wandering insects, mollusks, beetles, slaters, centipedes, and snails. Think of having a polecat or a weasel sniff-sniffing at your face while asleep, or two or three big rats tug-tuging at your pockets, aud attempting to steal away your larder! Boyndie church-yard, a most uncanny place after dark, was frequently his lodg ing place, greatly to the amazement of his superstitious neighbors. He sometimes had severe encounters . with nocturnal roamers. One night, while sleeping in the ruined castle of the Boyne, about five miles west of Banff, he was attacked by a large and ferocious polecat. Edward could have shot the creature, but he never wast ed powder and shot upon any thing he could take with his hands. The animal leaped upon him as he lay on the floor, and was seized by the throat by the watch ful naturalist. "I thought," says Edward, "that he would have torn my hands to pieces with his claws. I endeavored to get him turned round, so as to get my baud to the back of his neck '.How he screamed and yelled! And then what an awful stench he emitted during his struggles I" -After struggling with the brute nearly two hours, Edward bethought him ofhischlorform bottle, and, with a dose from that, ended the fight He was quite exhausted with the long contest, but as he had secured a large and valuable spe cimen for his collection, he felt repaid for all it had cost him. In this manner Edward passed several years, working at his trade by day and making his rounds as a naturalist by night. Tn four vears he had made a collection of nearly a thousand insects, secured in twen ty boxes, which were piled one upon an other, face downward, to keep out the dust. On looking at them one day he fooad that rata or mice had destroyed the whole collection. This wm a heavy mis fortune for a man in Edward's position. His wife, seeing the empty cases, asked him what he would do. "Well," said he, Vit's an awfu disappointment. bnt I think the best thing ijo do will be to set to work and fiN them afcain." He did soj and in another four years he had as large a col lection as the fijrst. By the year 1845 hie had preserved nearly two thousand speci mens of f living creatures found in the neighborhood of Banff. About half the number consisied of quadrupeds, birds, reptiles, fishes, Crustacea, star-fish, zoo phytes, corals, Sponges, and other objects. He had also collected an immense num ber of plants, were in bottles bome 01 tne specimens but the greater number were in cases with glass fronts. He could notafford to have the cases made b? a imnrr: in diim . -rfirvto nf t 7- j- - tnem nimseii, jwitu me am ot ms snoe makers knife, a saw, and a hammer. There were about three hundred cases in all. An exhibition of this collection at a fair held at Baulf yielded him a small sum of money, and encouraged h im to try the same experiment at Aberdeen, in the hope that he might be able to give up his trade and de vote all his time to natural history. But he was doomed to a sad disappointment. Few people wejnt to see the collection, and he was obliged to part with it to de fray the debt incurred in moving it to Aberdeen. The 6ale brought only 20 10s. The collection went into the hands of a private gentleman, who suffered it to go to ruin. Edward went back to Banff disappointed, but neither soured nor dis heartened, and resumed bis trade and his researches. ! SACRIFICE OF A HINDOO WIDOW. News of the widow's intentions having spread, a greai concourse of people of both sexes, the jwomen clad in their gala costumes, assembled round the pyre. In a short time aftjerjtheir arrival, the fated victim appeared, accompanied by the Brahmins, her relatives, aud the body of the deceased. jThe spectators showered chaplets of mogree on her head, and greet ed her appearance with laudatory, excla matious at her constancy and virtue. The women especially pressed forward to touch her garments an act which is considered meritorious, and highly desirable for ab solution and protection from the 'evil eye.' I, The widow was a remarkably handsome woman, apparently about thirty, and most superbly attired. Her manner was marked by great apathy to all around her, and by complete indifference to the preparations which for the first time met her eve. Fromj this circumstance au im pression was given that she might be un fonnity intcntion of thc der the influence of opium ; and in con European officers present to interfere should any coercive measures le adopted by the Brahmins or relatives, two medi cal officers were requested to give their opinion on the subject. They both agreed that she was quite free from any influence calculated to induce torpor or.intoxica tion. ! Captain Barnes then addressed the wo man desiring to know whether the act a - - """ J or enforced, and assuring her that, should . . . . mMuin t. Bn,ri.tPRt l,.rbM,oft -,, th fiilHllnipnr. of lipr vnw. hp. on th riiirt ... l 7 x of the British government, would guaran ty the protection of her life and property. Her answer was calm, heroic, aud constant to her purpose : "I die of my own free will ; give me back my husband, and-I will consent to live ; if I die not with him, the souls of seven husbands will condemn me!" f Ere the renewal of the horrid ceremon ies of death were permitted, again the voice of mercy, of expostulation, and ev en of entreaty was heard ; but the trial was vain, and the cool and collected man ner with which the woman still declared her determination unalterable, chilled and startled the most courageous. Physical pangs evidently excited no fears in her; her singular creed, the customs of her country, and her sene of conjugal duty, excluded from her miud the natural emo tions of personal dread ; and never did martyr to a true cause go to , the stake with more constancy and firmness, than did this delicate and gentle woman pre pare to become the victim of a deliberate sacrifice to the demoniacal tenets of her A 1 ueatrjen creea. a Accompanied by the officiating Brah min, the widow walked seven times round the pyre, repeating the usual mantras, or prayers, strewing rice and coories on the ground, and sprinkling water from her hand over the bystanders, who believe this to be efficacious in preventing dis ease and in expiating committed sins. She then removed her jewels, and pre sented them to her relations, saying a few words to each, with a calm, soft smile of encouragement and hope. The Brah mins then presented her with her lighted torch, bearing which, -Fresh as a flower just fclowo, And warm with lire ber rouiui f4lw pUrtss," she stepped through the fata) door, and sat within the pile. The body of her hus band, wrapped in rich kinkaub, was then carried seven times round the pile, and finally laid across her knees. Thorns and grass were piled over the door ; and again it was insisted that free space should be left, as it was honed the poor victim might yet relent, and rush from a fiery prison to the protection so freely offered. The command was readily obeyed; the strength of a child would have sufficed to burst the frail barrier which confined her, and a breathless pause succeeded : but the wo man's constancy was faithful to the last. Not a sigh broke the death-like silence of the crowd, until a light smoke, curling from the summit of" the pyre, and then a tongue of flame darting with bright and lightning-like rapidity into the clear blue sky, told us that the sacrifice was com pleted. Fearlessly had this courageous woman fired the pile, and hot a groan had lietrayed to us the moment when her spirit fled. At sight of the flame, a fiend ish shout of exultation rent the air; the tomtoms sounded, the ( people clapped their hands with delight as the evidence of their murderous work burst on their view, whilst the English spectators of this sad scene withdrew, bearing deep com passion iu their hearts, to philosophize as best they might on a cumtom so fraught with horror, so incompatible with reason, and so revolting to human sympathy. The pile continued to burn for three hoars; but, from its fonu, it is supposed that al most immediate suffocation must have terminated the sufferings of the unhappy victim. Mrs. Postan. Miscellaneous. THE THREE SOUTHERN HEROES. John Esten Cooke furnishes the follow ing for the columns of the Philadelphia Weekly Times: The death of the famous cavalry man produced a deep and painful sensation, in some degree akin to that produced by the death of Jackson. The Southern people had indeed become accustomed to couple together the three great names, Lee, Jackson and Stuart, valuing each for his peculiar qualities. No comparison is intended to be made between these three distinguished soldiers, but it is interest ing to notice how sharply contrasted they were iu character, and how peculiarly each was fitted for the sphere in which he moved and his special functions. Lee, the head and front of the 6tmggle, was the born commander-in-chief, fitted for the conception of great campaigns, ever wide awake, a man of august dignity by nature, calm, suave, grave, taking good aud evil fortune with the same imposing serenity; in person, one of the most noble and graceful men of his epoch, and the finest rider in the Southern army ; in character, simple, pure, patient, binding to himself both the love and respect of men. Jackson was the infantry leader, the "right arm" to execute what Lee con ceived ; iu person not graceful, in manner silent, reserved and often abrupt ; cautious council, but, rapid and jterrible iu exe cution, going to the battle with muttering prayers on his lips, leaving all to Provi dence, but striking with all the power of his arm to do his part, and in many ways resembling the Ironsides of Cromwell. Stuart, on the contrary, was the cavalier, essentially belonging to the class of men who followed the fortunes-of Charles I ardent, impetuous, brimming over with I the willc of life and vouth, with thehead- . e . long courage of a liigli-sninh ong courage oi a ingii-spirited ooy, tonu A 11" A V of bright colors, of rippling flags, of mar tial music and the clash of sabres in all the warp and woof of his character an embodiment of all the best traits of thc English cavaliers not of their bad traits. Although his utter carelessness as to the impression he produced subjected him to many calumnies, it is here placed on rec ord, by one who knew his private life thoroughly and was with him day and night for vears. that he was iu morals among the purest of men a faithful hus band, absolutely without vices of any de scription. and if not demonstrative in his religious views, an earnest and exemplary Christian. Ilia love tor his wile was deep and devoted, and on the-death of his little daughter, Flora, he said to me with tears iu his eyes, "I shall never get over it." SUPREME COURT.

Judge BtAac's Onxiox as to the Ju risdiction orTHE Federal Cocet. In asmuch as there is much difference of opinion in regard to the jurisdiction of the United States Courts in certain cases, the following will probably throw, some light on the subject : .' In the case of the United States v$ Bly ews reported in 13 Wallace U. S. Reports p, 585, Judge Jeremiah. S. Black of Penn sylvania, who is pre-eminently the great est lawyer of this country, in discussing the question of a removal of an indict ment for murder (Ray's case exactly ) from the State Court of Kentucky to the Circuit Courts of the United States, uses this pun gent and forcible language. We quote from thereport of the case: "judge liiack, atler remarking that this murder was committed on the soil of Kentucky and within her limits: that it "was an lusult to her dignity and an out- rage on the peace of a commuuitv which. -oy tne organic law ot the land, wasplac- -eu unuer ner soie protection : that her "laws were offended by it, and that none "but she had a right to enter into judg ement with the perpetrators of it ; that no wait..

The people and the press do deuonnce this form of official outrage and tyranny whenever they properly understand it But denunciation seems to have little effect. The outrages go on the same as ever. The true remedy for the gross evils complained of is four-fold iu its nature : 1. Protest from the people and the press; protests long, and loud, and deep, 2. Protests on the floor of Congress by our Representatives, and stern demands there for remedial legislation. 3. A stern demand upon the President of the United States for the removal of bad Revenue officers, and the supplying of their places with men who are neither brutes nor bullies. 4. The persistent, unwavering deter minatiou on the part of our State courts to catch and punish every Revenue officer who goes beyond the line of his official duties to trespass uion the rights of North Carolina citizens, or to violate North Car olina law. Let the remedy be applied in this four fold way, and the tyrannical 'aud bloody proceedings of Marshal Douglass' gang of roughs will be stopped. Hal. Arews. THE LOUISVILLE COURIER-JOURNAL ON PRESIDENT 11 A YES. Nobody who knows the President has ever doubted his partisan integrity. He is an out-and-out Republican. The poli ticiaus of this generation have before them two eye-openers John Tyler aud Andrew Johnson. Mr. Haves need not be either a very sagacious or a very sin cere politician to avoid the pits which his two unfortunate predecessors dug for themselves. He has never dreamed of going back on the party that, failing to elect him, contrived to play on the stu pidity of the party that defeated him as to make it his inductor into office. It was uatural, therefore, that, taking a low estimate of Democratic intelligence, he should think he could burst the w hole concern by a few favors judiciously scat tered here and there, joined to a liberal and iust policy. Circumstances favored this intention. The honorable and patri otic conduct of the Southern men, who, seeing no fight iu their Northern allies, accepted the Electoral Commission suare, and who, having accepted it, stood by the bond with the fidelity which has always marked the better class of Southern polit- ical leaders, was very naturally mistaken by trading Republicans, and for the mat ter ot that, uy trading .Democrats tor a flag of truce. Meanwhile there were South Carolina and Louisiaua to be liberated; the repose of an excited people to be secured; the pacification of the country to be obtained, and, seeing Mr. Hayes take a better view of these than General Grant had taken, Southern men of every shade of opinion united in saying what they say to-day that, asking nothing for themselves and seeking no change in their political rela tions, they stand ready to discount all questions touching the President's advent to power as well as affecting his personal rectitude, and give him a full and fair trial. Thus it was and thus it is. They do not propose to change their party for him. They do not propose to get up a new party for him. They do not pro pose to join the Republican party in any event. They propose aa Democrats, but also as patriots, to sustain him in every meas ure, which truly involves the dissemina tion and enlargement of natural ideas; the solidification of the national credit, the rirification ef the public service, the emancipation of political terlety, nitc and black, from sectional thraldom. That is their little game, and nothing else It ought to be clearly understood, and in the beginning, so that if tn the end Mr. Hayes and the people about him find themselves disappointed in making Republicans out Democrats, and dividing the South by a transaction which upright people cannot approve, they will have only themselves to thank for their mistake. With this explicit understanding, they can turn as radical as they please, and flaunt the bloody shirt to their heart's de sire. On that issue we shall beat them worse than ever. The good men of Amer ica, North and Souths want peace, ThU generation is not responsible for the last. It is responsible for itself, and with its re sponsibilities upon ifSEh purpose is to make a nation which shalk be national. not a huddle of discordant sections and States, the rule being pitch or toss which Bhall cheat and persecute the other. THE RAILROAD. We interviewed our worthy fellow cit izen, Maj. J. W. Wilson, the Railroad President, and learned from him that he had iron on the way to lay some more track Buncombeward. The road bed is being fixed up ready for it, so as to go up as far as theltouud Knob with the rail say three miles. Here a heavy piece of work will delay them some time when they cau again go forward several' miles in the torturous ascent of the mountains.

ADDRESS OF THE BOARD OF EDU CATION. THE UNIVERSITY NORMAL SCHOOL. At the meeting of the State Board of Education held in this city Thursday af ternoon, the following address to the teachers of the State was adopted : To the Teachers of the State and those tcish ing to became Teachers : The General Assmbly having authoriz ed the Board of Education to establish a normal school for white males in connec tion with the Universitv, in execution of this power.'and to accomplish "the great est good to the greatest number," this Board of Education, with the concurrnece of the trustees and faculty of the Univer sity, conclude to adopt the following scheme : 1. The school will bo open not only to those desiring to become teachers, but to all those now engaged m teaching, re males are invited to attend also. 2. The session will le during the sum mer vacation of the Universitv. It will begin on Tuesday, the 'M of July next, and will continued for at least six weeks. The school will be held iu one or more of the University recitation rooms or labor atories. mai teaching being not only a sci ence, out an art, it has oeen determined to place the conduct of the school in th hands of trained experts lnen who have for years made normal methods a studv and have had large experience in their practical working. Accordingly Proles sor John I. Ladd, sajwriutendent of the public schools ot Stanton, Va., and Pro fessor L. H. Owens, of Tuscumbia, Ala., have been chosen as t wo of ihe Professors of the University Norma. Schoo . At least one other Professor .will be chosen who will probably lie a resident of the State. Professors Ladd and Owens are distinguished as jeculiarly skillful and accomplished normal instructors, as men powerful in inspiring vigor and interest in normal school exercises 4. Regular exercises will be had daily in the following branches: Arithmetic written and mental, grammar, analy sis, geography, reading, orthography, pho netics, penmanship, instruction will be given practically on sc1mx1 discipline, methods, organization, qualifications le gal relation of teacher, parent aud child. A daily drill iu vocal music will be had. Iu aditiou to the regular daily exercises eminent men of this and other States will deliver lecturs occasionally at night for the instruction of the students. 5. The trustees and faculty of the Uni versity will allow the use of their recita tion rooms, laboratories, libraries, muse- um, &c, and the Professors have at the request of the Board of Education, agreed to cordially co-operate when desired in furthering the objects of the school. G. There Will be no charge for tuition. Dormitories iu the. University buildings will be furnished free 60 that those who bring their own bedding will be at no ex pense on this account. Table board, not exceeding $10 per month, cau be had iu private families. - Arrangements have been made by which those wishing to mess to gether can live still more cheaply than this. Facilities for cooking will be fur nished to those who bring their own pro visions and cooking utensils. The railroad companies will grant half fare. Transportation can be hatLJrom Durham to Chapel Hill at from fifty cents to one dollar. The people of Chael Hill promise to endeavor to make the sojourn among them pleasant. 7. Rev. Dr. Sears, agent of thePeabody fund, so highly approves the establish ment of the school that ue nas placed at the disposal of the Board $500. The Board adds to this $500 more, making a fund of $1,000, which will be used in de fraying the necessary expenses of regular attendents on the school who are unable to pay, being applied first towards paying their traveling expenses and then towards the expenses of the Board. The object is to put those living far from Chapel Hill on an equality with those living near. 8.

Secretary of Board of Education. A NORTH CAROLINIAN ABROAD. Dr. Euncnc Grissom Makes a-tfit at St. Louis. fSt. Louia Time, May 31. J ' SKf The second day's proceedings of the Association of Superintendents of Insane Asylums were begun at 10 o'clock yester day morning. . '- Dr. E. Grissom of North Carolina, read a lengthy and able paper, eutmed "Me chanical Protection for the Violent In- saue." The paper seems to have been called out by reason of an attack upon American Institutions, made by John Charles Bucknill, M. D., F. R. S., and a commissioner of lunacy in England. Dr. Bucknill visited America about years ago, and while here cursorily examined a num ber of insane institutions, and upon the information thus hastily gained commenc- . ed an indiscriminate slaughter in the Lon don Lancet. His attack was particularly violent upon the restraint sometimes exer cised iu America. to prevent patients in juring themselves and others; as for in stance the padded room, into which the most violent are sometimes placed during paroxysms to prevent homicide and sui cide. Dr. Grissom's paper set forthj from official reports from the various institu tions of America and England, that there are fully as many superintendents in Eng gland favorable to necessary restraint as there are in America, though under pre sent British laws they seem to be denied -iu -this respect what seems necessary to successful treatment. - In proof of the im proved system of American institutions, the Doctor's paper set forth thc mortality in our home institutions to bo only seven per cent., while iu England it is 11.3Gper cent, annually. With Scotland and Ire land added the mortality must necessarily be greater, as in some of the Irish institu tions, under English protection, there is complaint that patients have neither beds nor bedding. The Doctor's paper showed that the mortality of the North Carolina hospital has of latebeen only four per cent., and that while the institutions of Great Britain have annual reports of sui cides and homicides, there has not been a single one inthe North Caroling, institu tion in the treatment of 1,200 insance since its foundation. Dr. Grissom's paper was received with hearty applause and other expressions of delight and approbation. It seems that Dn. Bucknill was very severe in his criti cism, and even went beyond the bounds of truth. His paper was arrogant in tone, and very offensive to the association. Dr. G rissom'ft reply was couched in the most courteous language, and its dignified tone added much to its power. He was sur rounded by the members of the associa tion, and compliments showered upon him. Some of the oldest members remarked that , they had never heard a paper read that was so unanimously endorsed and eo gen erally complimented. "' . ,.i Developing Ocr REsoRCES.-Mrl RY E.

Formerly the mineral, has been used solely for the adulteration of white lead, but the mineral now obtained Is of such superior quality that it can take the place of white lead in the manufacture of cheap paints.
