Thomas Ruffin has been appoint ed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, vice John H. Dillard, resigned. The Arkansas State Senate has passed a bill appropriating $10,000 for a branch normal college at Pine Blufi for the edu cation of colored teachers. The proposed amendment prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in West Virginia has been indefinitely postponed by the State Senate. In Gadsden, Ala., the value of taxable property has increased from $293,792 in 1879 t $414,200 in 188, and the city tax at one-fourth of one per cent, from $784 48 to $1,033 15. The Swedenborgian Publication So ciety has donated to the library of the Georgia institution for the education of the deaf and dumb Swedenbbrg's com plete works. There are no' funds to re- lenish the library of this institution, and persons who can give books should send them to Cave Springs, Ga., or to Gov. Colquitt.

Montgomery Advertiser : Considera ble sensation was excited by the sudden sinking of nearly 100 feet of the track of the Montgomery and Eufaula railway at a point near the limits of Union Springs a day or two since. Those who visited the spot speak of it as something of a phenomenon in its way- It had the ap pearance of a depression caused by an earthquake. Memphis, Tennessee, is in a bad way, financially. Its taxable property has decreased from $30,800,00 in 1866 to $13,900,000; there is $2,500,000 of back taxes due ; and the tax rate for the next two years, if the health improvements are carried out, will be $8.95 on $100. The present population of Memphis is 33,593, and the total debt, $6,000,000, is $178 per capita, and 43 per cent, on the whole taxable property. The rapid development of the business of importing fruit to New Orleans, the Times of that city says, has materially interfered with and reduced the foreign trade of New York, which city has here tofore supplied the entire West with fruit. New Orleans possesses exceptional advantages as a distributing point. Her climate is favorable. Fruit often reaches New York during the winter frozen, or is exposed to severe frosts on landing. Speaking of the State debt of Louis' isaua, the New Orleans Democrat says Under the provisions of the new constitu tion the debt, in case all consolidated bonds are exchanged for four per cent. bonds, would amount to $8,879,550, re quiring the sum of $355,182 annually for interest. Collections for the interest fund already amount to $355,225 S3, or more than enough to pay the interest for 1880 upon the whole amount of the State debt refunded under the provisions of the new constitution. The surplus, $43 83, doubtless goes to the support of public schools. It is questioned at Mobile whether the public property belcrging to the defunct city of Mobile, now a the hands of the Coram istuoners for lie adjustment of the debt of the late city, should not, under the decision of the United States Su preme Court, in the Memphis case, be turned oer to the Commissioners of the port of Mobile for governmental I purpose, lne port oi Monue nas not money enough in its treas my to meet the pay-roll of this month. The port Commwonen have paid to the Mobile- Commissioner! from rentals and markets about $3,700 per annum for the last two years. C, SATURDAY. MARCH 19, 1SS1. BOW TBK UUAQLARS BVM9LM, eTer. far different person, and plays for a far higher Btake. He Ha probably been in prison, and learned the tricks of the trade in the hours of combined labor while undergoing penal servitude at Dartmoor or Portland. It ia here that he receives the first smattering of his scientific education. He may have been a clerk, or a discharged fostman, or a snail shemman. or an errand-lad soma o& who has embezzled or porloineA-t ana me discipline or his prison career-4 has rennlt(vl in nnfhin rnnrn than rr. I paring him for the exciting trade of a professional thief. Society, he argues, has injured him by depriving rnrn of his liberty, and he intends to be revenged upon society. He becomes a compan ion of old thieves, and he is elected a brother in the freemasonry of crime. He is told where property can be found, how it can be stolen, and where it can be disposed of. Storiea of robberies, and burglaries, and midnight advent ures, sound as fascinating as the yarns of miners at the diggings. Chance may decree a long course of ceaseless work and no reward ; but when the " turn-up" does come the prize is worth the win ning. Thus educated theoretically in thieves' knowledge, the felonious neo phyte comes out of prison to be a con necting link between the " lagged " and "lucky." He knows what policemen can be bribed, what information is nec essary for his undertaking ; what public houses and other haunts are frequented by thieves, and what should be the gen eral plan of the campaign on which he has entered. He does not go rashly to work, but bides his time, setting his traps and snares with the care of an old sportsman. Unconsciously, domestio servants, male and female, drift into this world of f roguery, and, before they are aware of it, are led to betray the confi dence of their employers. They ; axe plausible felkwm, these modani burglars; they ean teljr4 good story sandutfnjfc maids, and will ' walk out with them ' on Sundays ; they bet a little and play cards ; and gradually they inmesh a household by the agenoy of the in-door servants, who have not the faintest idea of the real objects of the crafty fellows who have made themselves so agreeable. People express themselves surprised at the constant success of the confidence trick, and all the devices in which good acting and plausibility are opposed to selfishness and vanity; and yet they cannot realize the fact that agents of the intelligence department " of knavery are constantly on the alert, London TtlegrapK DRXSCHIXO A MAJDMA1T. The following account oi a madman's freak illustrates how difficult it is at times to manage the insane : As the insane patients of the great Charite Hospital at Berlin were taking their accustomed exercise in the gardens of that establishment, under the super vision of several attendants, one of them, a lunatio cab-driver of herculean strength, contrived to slip away from his companions, and to clamber up the trunk of a huge elm tree. Having reached one of the topmost limbs, and armed himself with a stout branch, which he snapped asunder as easily as though it had .been a mere twig, ha an nounced in stentorian accents his inten tion of "staying there forever." In vain did the perplexed warder alter nately coax and threaten him ; he laughed at their blandishments and de fied their menaces. No one dared to attempt his capture by force, so, after a couple of hours had elapsed, the medical authorities, having obtained permission from the Dufcrict Lieutenant of Police, summoned to their assistance a detachment oi the fire brig ade and an engine, which forthwith com menced to play upon the deranged gym nast. , Having drenched him for a ten minutes' spell, the firemen summoned him to a parley, but could get nothing out of him save a fantastic and high-flown speech of thanks for their "refreshing attentions." Another and still mors protracted del uge proving equally ineffectoaLin induc ing him to descend, the warders and policemen recurred to friendly negotia tions, and their persuasions at length moved the triumphant madman to de clare that, if they would pay homage to his gymnastic skill and heroic endur ance by three rounds of enthusiastae sp platoe, he would come down.
