Lebanon, Fa., Sept. 3. Brandt and Hummel, two of the men convicted of ike murder of Raber, to-day made state- ents in reference to the murder. Brandt denies ever having had anything to do with the murder, never solicited Drew or Stechler, never held a policy on Ruber's life, but considers it an ordinary business transaction. He says he bought it as others did in that neighborhood, ex pecting Baber to die soon, he being an old man, and that he never was in conpir acy to murder him. These denials are creating considerable discussion, as they destinctly contradict the confessions of Drew and Stechler, who expect to hang for their crimes. Relief tor Hood's Children. Atlanta, Sept. 3. A subscription for Gen. Hood's children reached on the first day nearly $1000. Murder. Norfolk, Sept. 3. John H.

Cetewayo Proposes Peece. A dispatch from Durban says that a cavalry reconnoissance has blown np King Cetewayo's powder magazine, ten miles from his new kraal.

The Italian irrendenta question is exciting and has renewed at tention in consequence of a recent pamphlet issued by Col. Haymerle, brother of Count Andrassy'a probable successor as the Austro-Hunganan . pre mier, stating that it is fermented by un scrupulous men who are actuated by lust of conquest, and that hatred of Aus tria is encouraged m uaiy Because is thought that a province could be more easily niched from Austria than any other power. The Liberia, conservative .wan. and therefore having more moder ate views on foreign politics than news papers of the left, replying says : Aus tria cannot expect that Italy should de clare the Italian provinces still under Austrian sway, belonging to Austria by ftjl rights, and shall continue so inde -t- i finitely. On he other hand, Italy can't claim that Austria shall, merely to please her, restore her valnable provinces. As Italy cannot think of making war in her present condition and Austria cannot attack Italy merely for having certain aspirations, both parties should ston making insincere and sterotyped declar ations. . . ' Riot In Chill. Panama, Aug. 28. The Star awl Her- aid says that the excitement in Chili on receipt of the news of the capture of Bi- luav wan intense, xne opposition made it the occaison for a fierce onslaught up on the government in which the popu lace impatient under the inactivity of the government, joined with great zeal and most riotous demonstrations. Great crowds gathered in the principal plaza ana snouted, "j.own with the ministers, "Death to the Arancanian." A strong body of military was called out and after a time the mob dispersed, only to reas semble the following ni&rht on the ala- meda increased in numbers and organ ized. Iron seats were used for barri cades and soldiers sent to disperse the . j . . ... . i . uruwun, were) receivea WISH volleys OI stones and bottles and some pistol shots. The troops (cavalry) fired three volleys and then charged, cutting and slashing right and left, rather with a view of clear ing the streets than of slavlncr the peo ple. Only three deaths are reported, but perhaps a hundred people were more or less seriously injured. Spain will Supply Troops and Fund. Banana, Sept. 4. The home govern ment has notified the authorities there that it will send immediately 20,000 troops to maintain public tranauilitv in the island, and will send all funds neces sary to meet increased expenditures. Havana was startled by the news that two insurgent bands had appeared in the districts of Holquin and Santiago de Cuba. Excitement ran high and the pre mium on gold immediately rose; but as a general thing confidence in the main tenance of peace, remains unshaken. Gen. Blanco at once dispatched 2000 men from this city and ordered a most ener getic pursuit of the disturbers. The in surgent bands are remnants of old guer illas employed by Spain during the war. These men were paid $1 per day while in service, and are discontented at their discharge. f atal Fever. Seventy-eight deaths resulted from yel low fever last week, a decrease of 17 compared with the previous week. In consequence of the unusual violence of yellow fever during the present summer and the fatality of the disease on board vessels which left Port Royal, the order of Nov. 28, 1848, has been revived and will be enforced It provides that no vessel carrying above 60 persons, inclu ding passengers and crew, Bhall leave the port without having a physician and clergyman on board.

Seattle, Aug. 31. Within the past few days several prominent loggers, whose operations have been recently sur veyed by'Capt. Prosser, special agent U. S. Interior department, plead guilty and confessed judgment in various amounts, ranging from $200 to $500 each for tres passing upon government lands in the neighborhood of Puget Sound. Many others have proposed to pursue the same course. Public sentiment here is grow ing more favorable to the enforcement of the law prohibiting trespassers on the government domain. The general feel ing is that the interests of the country will be promoted by stopping all illicit operations of this kind. The majority of those who have been trespassing are now disposed to Jake advantage of the liberal terms offered by the government mitted prior to June 1, 1879. A Horrible Snlctde. San Francisco, Sept. 'j 3 A terrible suicide occurred at Meige's wharf at abont six o'clock this morning. A man supposed to be named Schneider, a short ume ago an inmate oi tne aims House, stood upon the edge of the wharf and blew his head to pieces.

Ukiah, Mendocino county, Sept. 4. Elijah Frost, Bige Gibson and Tom Mc Craken were taken from a constable at Willits last night and hung by a mob. These men were under arrest for larceny of a saddle and some harness.

H., was instantly killed to-day while engaged in raising a frame for one of the Belltown barrel factory buildings, by a piece of timber falling upon him and breaking his neck.

Perkins is lead ing Glenn about 17,500 and White with the same. Completion of the count will increase Perkins' plurality of the count to 22,000 or 23,000 probably. In this city he will gain on Glenn, ahd in the country on White during the remainder of the count. All the state ticket will go with the head except justices, which cannot yet be determined. It is now probable that the republicans will elect all the congressmen, though it is very close in the city district. The republi cans elect the railroad commissioner in the northern district, and the working men theirs in the city and in the south ern district. The legislature is still in doubt. Kalloch continues to increase his lead and is elected beyond a donbt. The workingmen's chances are best for sheriff, auditor, collector and county at torney, and are sure on city and district attorney. The republicans will probably get the balance, except perhaps two or three supervisors and school directors. The superior judges are divided. Seaman Killed. San Fbancibco, Sept. 6.

About fif teen hundred ballots remain to be count ed in the city, and the canvass will prob ably be completed before morning. Kal loch now has 1432 majority over Flint and is elected. The workingmen have also elected the sheriff, auditor, district attorney, city and county attorney tax, collector, publio administrator and sur veyor. The republicans elect the asses sor, coroner and superintednent of schools.' The offices of treasurer, recor- ier, county clerk, (street superintendent) and police judge are still in donbt with chances in favor of the workingmen s candidates. The superior judges will probably be abont equally divided. The republicans are likely to elect four out of five justices and their ticket of super visors is believed to be successful with perhaps two or three exceptions; also five of their candidates for school direc tors. The workingmen have probably elected three Or four, Beerstecher and Stoneman, workingmen, and Cone, re publican, are elected railroad commis sioners. There seems to be no doubt that the republicans have elected all four congressman. The legislature is still nndecided, but if the republicans have not a majority they will in all probabil ity be able to control both houses. The result on the state ticket remains as here tofore reported, though it is not quite certain how the supreme court may stand. . Health Maxims. A good laugh is anti-dyspeptic. A hearty meal taken while excess ively fatigued has often destroyed health. A sour look.an impatient gesture, across word at the breakfast table, is enough to make the best food indigestible, and spoil the day. Never sit or stand with the wind blow ing on you for a single moment, for it speedily produces a fever, and then a bad cold. If you can't get good wages, work for your board rather than do nothing, or go in debt, or live on the earnings or charity of another. The thinnest veil or handkerchief thrown over the face while riding or walk ing against a cold wind is a remarkably comfortable protection. Nature is very much like a shiftless child, who, the more he is helped, the more he looks for it. The more medicine a man takes, the more he will have to take, whether it be anodyne, tonic, or alternative. To spend two or three moments on ris ing and retiring, in rapin friction of the whole surface of the body with the hand is a more rational treatment of the skin, and a more health promoting operation for most persons, than a daily cold water bath. Acidity always arises either from hay ing eaten too much food, or of a quantity which the stomach could not dissolve. The remedy is, eat less and less each meal until there is no acidity, then yon know for yourself bow much your stomach can manage. To eat the same amount and as regularly take something to correct the acidity, is certain to cause dyspepsia, or some other more serious form of disease. : A Living Man's Brain Exposed. There is in Livonia a man who may be come an object of as much interest to the scientific world as was the Frenchman in Canada years ago, who, by a gunshot wound, laid open his stomach, and lived for yoars, letting physicians observe the process of digestion. The Livonia man one day last week was kicked in the fore head by a horse which he tried to make jump a fence, and a wound inflicted in his forehead through which the brain may be seen palpitating. The wounded man is expected to recover. Kochmer vnwn. At the foot of profession the chiropo- UUH. A Hurdered Nation. In 1781, when the Empress Catherine stopped at Azov on a visit to the southern part of her domains, she was struck by the majestic aspect of the Daghestan mountains which interpose their snow capped ramparts between the Russian steppes and the garden lands of Tiflis and Georgia ; and on that -day the conquest was first resolved upon which has since been accomplished at the cost of three million human lives. As early as 1783, General Lazareff made raid into the valley of the Terek, but was driven back with the loss of 5000 men, and had to recruit his forces in the Ukraine till the spring of the following year, when be landed at Anapa, and attempted the same region from the south side. He was again re pulsed, but fortified the village oi Redout Kaleh on the sea-coast ; and thus estab lished a base of operations, for all future expeditions, which year alter year were sent forth, and as often vanquished, though with greater and greater difficulty, by that heroic resistance which mere butcher's arithmetic could foresee must cease at last. Lazareff and his successor. General Godolitsch, gratified the Czarina by a monthly bulletin of raids and mas sacres ; and thereis something which seems inexpressibly revolting ia their cynic admission of the superior strategy and valor of an enemy whom they hoped to subdue by starvation and ruse that is, treachery, and the mas sacre of hostages and non-combatants. The passes of Western Caucasus were defended by the Lesghians and Ossetes, who, in 1795, could still muster a force of 60,000 warriors in the Spartan sense of the word ; but with the return of every Spring a fresh swarm of Cossacks, Cal mucks and Muscovite serfs fell upon th it devoted band standing at bay like a wild animal against a pack of butcher dogs. The valleys were devastated, domestic animals were slain the auto, or mountain villages of Western Lesghia, were burned and their defenseless inhabitants butch ered ; and in innumerable encounters the passes were strewn with the bones, and the mountuin streams of Circassia dyed with the blood of ber native sons, who, though almost victorious, found no time to repair their losses before an im perial ukase sent a new horde of blood hounds against them. Yet in 1824, more then forty years after the commencement of hostilities which had already cost the lives of nearly half a million of bis sub jects, the Czar could not yet call a square yard or tne Caucasus ns own. unless he kept within cannon range of his forts. bnamyi lien Haddyn, a man whose name is almost unknown to America and Western Europe: has left a record in the memory of his countrymen about which coming generations may kindle into wor ship. Unless ultimate success alone be a criterion of merit, the exploits of Hanni bal, of Cromwell, of Kosciesco and Gari baldi appeal trifling in comparison with the feats of the Leeghian prophet-chief- min. mere is a Bomewnat aououui tradition about a Gothic knight, named Pelagius or Pelavo. whose father had been slain with King Roderic, in the battle of Xeres de la Frontera, and who, when Spain was overrnn by the Saracens, en listed a corps of volunteers from the Christian fugitives with their aidjdefended himself year after year in the fastnesses of the Pyrenees, till the power of the Moors was broken in the seven days' bght at'i'ours, and the little band of patriots re ceived succor from their brethren in Soutbern France. If the story of Pelayo should be authentic, the achievements of Shamyl Ben Haddin are hardly equalled ; otherwise they stand altogether unap proached by anything the history of the world could adduce from the records of the last 4000 years. The Pass of Ther mopylte, though defended against greater odds, was only defended for twenty-four nours, wmte the followers ot btiamvl maintained their ground for more than twenty-four years. Mithridates, King of Pontus and Asyria, resisted the powers of Rome for even a longer period ; but bis resources were almost as vast as those of the Orbit Romanut, while the Circassian patriot, with never more thau 20,000 fighting men. defied the legions of the Russian Empire, which were increased under Prince Baryantnski to ninety-five of Regiments, forty of artillery, 1600 polks or mounted (Jossacks together almost a third of a million. Frederic the Great, in the Seven Years' War, showed the same manful self-reliance, fortitude and heroic scorn of compromise ; but would he not have surrendered Brandenburg and Ber lin as well as Silesia, if the four-fold nu merical superiority of his enemies had beeD increased forty-fold, the seven years - protracted to twenty-seven, and bis regi ment restricted to a diet of beechnuts and water? Or. to take an illustration from the history of our own country, would the resistence of uenerai lee have been pro longed for, we will not say twenty-seven years, but that number of weeks, if Vir ginia bad been attacked by a combina tion of the "solid South ' with the solid North, East and Wes ; if all the artillery, all the horses, all the cooking stoves, medicine chests, tents, shoes, blankets, flous, sugar and coffee, as well as all the cash had been monopolized by General Grant and Lee's own commissary supplies reduced to hickorynuts and wild berries of the Blue Ridge? How few of our hardy ancestors would have undertaken for any lor any temporal or eternal reward whnt the Lesthian chieftain bad done, and done in vain. His followers diminished from year to : year and at last succumed, worn out, in the most brutal sense of the term, by an ungenerous enemy, who increased the terror of his superior force by atrocities which make the conquest of Caucasus the blackest page in the history of the world. But to the Circassian themselves their untimely grave has, perhaps, been a refuge from worse evils, since the doom of Poland would have been the penalty of submission ; and in thus far, at least, they have still been the arbiters of their own destiny. Five successive generations have. been called upon to decide between death and a Muscovite citisenship, and they have deliberately chosen death as the less horrible alternative. By a hun dred years' war, and the sacrifice of a million human lives the Russians have thus become the undisputed muster of a graveyard, but they will hardly find it a renumerative acquisition. The tendency of the cosmetic regulations is adverse to cruelty, and we may trust that the same by law ot nature which prevents the hunter from digesting the flesh of a tor tured animal will not permit the butchers of the Circassian patriots to utilise their victory.

" I care not who writes the history of a nation, if I can read its advertise ments," remarked -Sir Isaac Newton. There is no donbt that he was right. Historians cannot be trusted to write the simple truth, for even if they are wholly unprejudiced, they are neverthe less constantly decieved by the authori ties upon whom they rely. The student of advertisements, on the other hand, learns the wants and habits of a people from the most trustworthy source. Had the old Romans advertised in a manner worthy of an intelligent people, we could learn from the advertising columns of the press of the period more of the real daily life of Bome than any quantity of able German historians could now teach us. It was through a brief advertisement in an English newspaper that one of the most remarkable and peculiar of the domestic habits of English life was made public. Perhaps it is hardly ac curate to say that it was made publio for the first time, for the peculiar habit, or custom or question must have been long familiar to Englishmen living at home. Still, no one outside of England sus pected its existence until the advertise ment to which reference has been made appeared. , It seems that a young English lady re cently left her home and disappeared totally from the knowledge of her par ents. Being intelligent people, they, of course, did not employ a detective to find out the missing girl and to compound with her abductors for half her value, but they inserted an adver tisement in a daily paper, describing her appearance and offering a reasonable re ward for her recovery. The peculiar feature of the advertisement was the fact that, after setting forth the height, weight, age, dress, and color of the eyes of the desired young lady, it mentioned that she was "tattooed on the left leg." From the way in which this assertion was made, it is clear that the fact of the tattooing was not regarded by the adver tiser as anything unusual. In fact, from the comments since made by the English press, it is very evident that in England it is regarded as the customary and proper thing to tattoo the youthful femi nine leg. After recovering from the shock in separable from suddenly learning the existence of so extraordinary a custom in England, the thoughtful foreigner at once begins to question its origin and motive. The tattooing must obviously be done as a measure either of utility or ornament, and it is by no means easy to decide which motive is the true one. All statisticians agree that there are a great many girls in England, and certain Eng lish weekly newspapers have during the last few years dwelt with much empha sis upon the tendency of the English girl of the period to defy the conven tional restraints of former days. May we not, then, assume that English girls are prone to stray away from home, and tnat being so very numerous, they are frequently mislead and forgotten. We have here a sufficient explanation of the tattooing problem. The careful British parent desires to mark his girls for identification. If he pastes labels on their backs or attaches tags to their belts, the tags and labels can readily be torn off or lost. To brand a girl with a hot iron, or to slit ber ear, practices which are in vogue among catue-anvers, would obviously ue open w serious ODjecuons. ine care ful parent, in these circumstances, falls back upon tattooing, and in order not to disfigure his girls, he has them tattooed where the indelible mark is not, as a ruie, constantly forced upon the publio gaze. . The advantages of the custom are un deniable. Let us suppose that the girls of the Smith family, for example, are marked "S" in a diamond. Now, if old Mr. Smith, when taking his nine girls to Brighton, mislays one in the railway station, or forgets another and leaves her in a cab, he has merely to advertise that on such a date a girl marked " 'S in a diamond, was lost or mislaid in snob, a flace, and she will soon be restored to im. Or suppose that the same Mr. Smith finds a girl in an omnibus whom he fancies belongs to him, but whom Mr. Brown rightfully insists is his pri vate girl. There need be no dispute about the matter. Mr. Smith has only to say to Mr. Brown. "How are your girls marked? ' Mr. Brown replies " 'J. B.' with a star." An inspection of th disputed girl shows that Mr. Brown is right, and there is at once an end of the dispute. Thus, we see that tattooing a girl as a means of identification micht be a very useful practice, and if this is the motive of the present custom of tat tooing English girls, it commends itself to our approval. But it is quite possible that Englisb girls are tattooed as a purely ornamental process. It should be noticed that the original advertisement which first called attention to the matter merely asserted that the missing girl was tattooed on the left leg. The pattern of the tattooing was not described, and we have no means of knowing its precise character. A year or two ago an Arkansas young iaay, desirous ot maxing a Druiiant fig ure at a ball, called a paint brush and a quantity of red and white paint to her aid, and produced on those present at the ball the impression that she was wearing a beautiful and costly pair of striped stockings. What the Arkansas young lady did in a rough and tempo rary way, her British sister can do neatly and permanently, with the help of a skillful artist in tattooing. Of course the colors employed would be only the light bine of the tattooing and the pure white of the original ground, but an infinite variety of tasteful pat terns could be used. So far as the purely male mind can judge, this is the only way in which tattooing can be used as an ornament in connection with the legs, and if the motive which influences the young ladies of England is one of economy, they are certainly deserving of praise. The weight of probability is, however, in favor of the hypothesis that British girls are tattooed for identification, and not for ornament. Whether the custom will be introduced here remains to be seen of course, by qualified and legiti mate eyes. Probably it will gain ground slowly among us for the reason that girls are not so abundant here as in England, and the danger of losing them is, there fore, comparatively slight. Expatriated 'Germany. In January a central society for the study of commer cial geography and for the furtherance of vrerman interests in foreign parts was es tablished at Berlin.

Everyone remem bers low this basin of water is charged with electricity and a silver coin dropped in; how generously the showman offers the coin to anyone who will take it ont, and how as one after another tries to take the money from the water his hand is cramped and paralyzed by the electricity in the water. -Thifl-maeTexr periment pleased "tES-feBOks greatly.

His head dropped on his breast, his pulse was weak and his breath nearly gone. Then our traveler saw his mistake. To say that he was frightened, but feebly con veys the idea. He ceased his labors at the crank, and called for cold water to dash in the face of his red brother. He walked said brother around, stood him on his head and tortured him generally, and at the end of several hours, had the satisfaction of pronouncing the brave out of danger. But the show was over.
