The New England Woman Suffrage Association met at Boston a few days ago, all tho prominent leaders of that section being present .Tho Mexican Congress has given tho President of the Bepnbiio full power to make contracts with the States or private parties for the construction of railroads in that country. Seven Btudents have been expelled and three suspended by tho faculty of the Phillips Academy,- Exeter, N. H,, for refractory and rebellious conduct. During the year 1880 there wera sent through the United States mails 2,720,234,252 pieces, of wh en l,03,252,b76 were letters; 824,506,410 were postal-cards, 812,082,000 were newspapers, 40,148,792 were magazines and periodicals, and 21,515,832 were packages of merchandise. " A statue of Admiral Farrafrnt has just been unveiled in New- York city, the presentation speech being made by Secretary Hunt, of the Navy Department.'. The Mexican Congress has assented to Eada ship-rai'road project, but there is oppo-. sttion by tho people of the neighborhood. A short time ago several native railroad laborers, working on the new National line, were set npon by a party, and many were killcd.A change has taken place in the control of the New York Eeeniug' Post, the majority of its stock having been -purchased by ex-Secretary Carl Sctmrz, Horace White and E.

Crop reports from the various sections of Iowa axe good, and the Hawkeyo farmers have reason to be well pleased. The area under corn and oats is much larger than usual, while that under wheat is slightly less. The farmers are everywhere busy, and, though there is need of some rain in parts of the State, the outlook on the whole is very promising. ,

Ing the Grant Republican Club presented an

address, which calls on Republicans to sustain the-ex-Senatore, and the members of tho Club declare that they rejoice in tho name of stalwarts. On the other baud; meetings were held at various -places in tho Empire State to indorse the course of tho President and to condemn Conkling, and petitions poured in on members of the Legislature, calling on them to vote against the re-election of Conkling or Piatt, and several such were addressed to the Legislature as a body. The Conklingites, as represented by Speaker Sbarpe, invited a caucus, but the other si do did not seem disposed to entor into any caucus. The anti-Conkling mcmburo of tho Now York Legislature, through Messrs. McCarthy, Forstcr and Rockwell of tho Senate Caucus Committee, on the 25th of May informed the Cunklinj members that they would not go'into canons to soloct a Senator, and that they woald not tako any action looking io the filling of the Senatorial vacancies until May 31, when (hoy woald vote ou the matter in the legislature.

The Census Bureau has published a curious bulletin showing the position of the center or population since 1790. In 1880 it was eight miles west by south of Cincinnati, having moved west fifty-eight miles during the preceding decade. The following is the approximate location of important points from 1790 : 1790, twenty-three miles east of Baltimore; 1800, eighteen miles west of Baltimore ; 1810, forty miles northwest by west of Washington ; 1820, sixteen miles north of Woodstock, Ta,; 1830, nineteen miles west by south of atoorefteld, Ta.; 1840, sixteen miles south of Clarksburg, Ta.; 1350, twenty miles southeast of Parkersburs;, Vs.; I860, twenty miles south of Chillicothe, Ohio; 1870, forty-eight miles east by north of Cincinnati; 1889, eight miles west by south of Cincinnati, The persons indicted for libel in Hew York for being connected with the publication of the Morey Chinese letter Kenward Philp, Joseph Hart and others have been discharged, their cases being nolle prpssed by the prosecuting officer. Congressman James O'Brien, of New York, obtained a divorce from his wife on the ground that she was an habitual drunkard, and when under the influence of liquor was very violent. The Government has sued the Central Pacific Railroad Company for its payments to the sinking fund under the Thnrman law. The amount involved is $20,000,000. -' , The sale of the revised edition of the New Testament began in Kew York on the 20th of May. There was a great rash to obtain copies, And the sale were enormous. The Chicago TimeM and Inter Ocean printed, in their editions of the following morning, the greater portion of the revised work, while on Sunday morning the Tribune and Times gave the book in full, in addition to an ordinary Sunday edition. i ne Mexican House or itepresentativea has approved an amendment to the constitution which provides that none but Mexicans shall eligible for numbers of bit bodr,

FolitlcaL Gov. Cornell formally announced to the Kew York Legislature, on the 19th inst., that Senators Conkling and Piatt had resigned th- ir positions as United States Senators. The election to fill the vacancy will be held, in accordance with the State law, on the 31st inst. There seems, according to an Albany correspondent, to be not much' chance that either Conkling or Piatt will be re-elected. Indeed, it is probable that in view of the strong feeling against them they will not be candidates for re-election. nor

is it likely that any of their sympathizers or

partisans will be elected, although tho names of Gov. Cornell, Gen. Grant, Judge Folger and Gen. Sharps hare been mentioned. Gen. Grant has written a letter to Senator Jones, of Nevada, which has keen printed in the New York Beratd, in which he arraigns tike President for slighting Senator Conkling and accuses him of making nominations that are offensive to himself as well as to Mr. Conkling. Am Associated Press telegram of the 19th says that tha Legislature

would adjourn over to Monday, and the caucus would be held on Tuesday evening. Mr.

Conkling was still in Washington on that 'ate, snd was expecting to start for New York next day!" The German Republican Control Committee of New York passed resolutions congratu

lating the people of the Empire Stato, and es

pecially the German Republicans, ou the fid-

ministration's victory over Conkling and PUit, and thanking those men for resigning, thank

ing the United. States Senate for confirming Robertson with such great unanimity, and asking the- Legislature not to re-elect Conkling and Piatt . The Ohio Democrats have called their State Convention to meet at Columbus on the 13th of July. Senator Robertson does not intend to resign his seat in the New York Senate until tDo sine-die adjournment of that jody. He visited Washington Inst week, ostensibly' to consult with the President and Secretary of the Treasury as to his duties in reference to the New York Collectorship, but really to agree with the President and Secretary Blaine as to a, plau of . action at Albany in reforence to the Senatorial question. ...... It zs rumored from Washington that Gen. Grant, having been notified by Mr, Conkling of his intended resignation, at once started for home. A conference of MeBttrs. Conkling and Piatt with a number of their friends was held on Sunday, the 22d, at the fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, at which the coarse of the Stalwarts in the coming struggle at Albany was outlined. It was definitely decided that the former Senators were, to make an active canvass for re-clec tion, and confidence was expressed that they" would be returned. ' Senator Mahone voted with the Republicans for the-confirmation of William E. Chandler as Solicitor General of the Department of Justice. The Republican State Convention to nominate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Supreme Judge and Superintendent of Public Instruction, has been called to meet at Pes Moines, Iowa, Wednesday, June 29. The Caucus Committee of the Republicans of the New Yoik Assembly, on the 23d, sent an invitation to the republican Caucus Committee of the New York Senate to meet them. The tatter body returned answer that all. the Republican members of the Senate were not in Albany. It was not considered at all certain that the anti-Conkling members would enter the caucus at al", knowing that the Conkling men were in a majority. A secret conference of prominent Democrats, with Speaker Randall at the head, wasield in Washington, at which the political situation in New York was carefully considered. They decided to recommend to the Democratic members ef the New York Legislature not to enter into any coalition with either of the Republican factions that will enable them to fill vacancies occasioned by the resignation of Conkling and Piatt Reports were prevalent in Now York city of aid to be furqished Mr. Conkling by the Democrats, he to take anti-monopoly ground. Albany is the center of great excitement at the canvass for the Senate, and both factions of the Republican party claim great confidence in the result The chief event on May 24 was the arrival of Messrs. Conkling, Arthur and Piatt at the Delavan House, where they received calls from Gov. Cornell and many of tfafllr supporters daring the day. a the even.

Vrciu tho 2few Ywk Tribune. The reucwud prosperity of tho nation, and tlie hardships of military service in Europe, r.re regarded as tho principal ewisos for the increating tido of emigration which is now setting toward these shores. In 1877 tho number of immigrants who came to this country was Ickh than 150,000. Last year tho number reached 457,257. Of those 327,371 were landed nt tho port of New York. Judging from tho arrivals at Cn&tki Garden so far this year, .Superintendent Jackson estimates that tho arrivals at this port this year mavreach 5 -.0,100. Tho arrivaU at this port for the first four month-t of lafct year, ana corresponding period of this year, with tho countries from which tho immigrants come, as shown by returns nnde to the United States Treasury Department, were ac follows : Four Four vit'Htas Months ending ending Jdap 1, . hay 1, SnUaaaHtie. - 18S1.

This would give a total immigration of over 600,000, of which about 450,000 would bo due at this port. Tho rate of increase for Sew York, however, according to estimates of tho Commissioners of Emigration, will probably bo greater, as, owing to the backwardness of the season this vear, and the late dates at which the Scandinavian ;:orts were opened, the tide was kept back. In the first ten days of the present month 27,393 immigrants arrived at Castlo Garden, and it is estimated that 70,000 will arrive this month, against 45,578 for tho same time last year. Ou Monday of this week 6,521 immigrants arrived, the largest number on any day yet this year. Yesterday the number of arrivals was :j,203.

Pluck in Death. Col. MiiHesou, in tbe closing volume of his history of the Indian mutiny, commonly called the Sepoy mutiny, gives some curious instances of pluck in death. Brigadier Horsford, he states, " had flriveii a strong rettel force across that river (the Rapti), and in fording it, in pursuit of them, many men of the Seventh Hussars and the First Panjab cavalry had beenswept away by the force of the current, and -were lost. Among these was Maj, Homo, of the Seventh Hussars. After some search his body was drawn out oi a deep hole, his hands having a fast grip on two of the rebels, while the bodies of two troopers who perished with him were found, each with his hands clutching a rebel sowar." This was an exhibition of the ruling pasHion strong in death, and engaged in doing death's work. There is nothing liko fighting, once men have entered upon it. Few men but are slow to light, from choice ; but when they enter upon it, from the pressure of some overpowering necessity, there is nothing they are inoapable of 4oing hut s course, . ,

Letter from Heia. Grant. The following letter from ex-President Grant to Senator Jones, of Nevada, has been mads public : City of Mes ico, April 24, 1881. My Dear Sknatok : I set by the latest dpatcliea received here from tho capital of our country (hat the deadlock iu organizing: tho fJeuate has not been broken, and that nothing has been done by the Frehideut to allay the bitterness which mnat be engendered by his most recent appointment. When the first butch of nomination i for New York was sent iu I was delighted. I behaved then the President had determined to recognize the Republican party, and not a faction ; l;ut hiB nominations of the nevt day convinced me that the first act was but a part of a deep-laid scheme by somebody to punish proiuiuoJit leaders for being optmly friendly to mo, I cannot believe that Gen. Garfield is the author of thia policy. I give him credit for being too big a man to descend to such moans for tho punishment of men who Rave nim a hearty support In his election, and who are disposed to give him tho same support mw, for the offense of having had a former preference for some one else for the office which he now holds. But Garfield is President, and is refpons)b:o f ar all the acts of tha administration. Conkling and Piatt are the cfco?en Senators from the great Stato nf New York, and that too against all the opposition of an administration created by tlie same p;irty that elected them. Tb?e should give them ad the btronger claim to be consul led in the nutter of appointments in tudr State. When it comes to filling the moBt infiucatial office in their fit ite without consulting these Senators, it is a great slight When he selects the mont offensive M3n to be found, it becomes an insult, and ought to l e resentf d to the bitter end. I sincerely hope the Pri st-, dent will see thia and correct his mistake huusulf, und restore hunnony to tint party. He owes this to himself and to those without whom he could not have been elected. Nobody believes he con Id have carried tho Staio of Now York without the active support of her present Senators. Their panalvo mnjpprt would not have, answered. Without the State of Now York Gen. Garfield would not now be President, llin rewarding KobertBon is not only offensive to the New Yurk Seuatorp. bnt it is ounive to 2icw York KepubUcous. The change of Badeau and Cramer, the two appointments iu which I felt a strong personal interest was very distasteful to me, vhe tirst because of our personal relations and my wish that he should be kept where his oflico would support him until he finishes Bonie work he is engaged upon, and which he could do without interfering with his public dutieB; tho tcccud, because it was at the expense of removing tlie sou of my old Secretary of State, who probably never bad his superior, certainly never for moral worth, In the department. It ia true Fish resigned, but he did this from a tense of honor, supposing it to bo the duty of rt-pre-enta-tiveB abroad to give a dbw administration the opportunity of t-aying whether they lire wanted oi not Very truly yoar.

All tho passengers were instantly plunged into tho stream, more than half of them being underneath the debris. The tirst news which reached the city wan brought by survivors, who trutrgled through the streets wet and weary. The news fell like a thunderbolt, and a stamped took place for tho snot Arriving there, a terrible sight met tbe view. Fifty or sixty bodies had already been recovered and were lying ou the green award Home distance up tho bank, Tho&o arriving from tho city from every direction crowded around, anxious to poo if any relatives woro on board. Several hundred families wero represented ou tho excursion, and tho wail at the sight of tho victims was hesr'reudmg. Fathers, mothers, brothers and nilci rushed about panic-stricken, endeavoring to identify relatives. By 7 o'clock about eighty bodies woro recovered from mrior tho wreck, where tho water was twelve feet in depth. Almost every minute some victim was brought to tho surface nud conveyed to the boat. The steamer Princess Louise was oarly brought to the spot and tho victims placed ou tho upper decks. Fires were lit on tho bank overlooking the river, and petroltnm torcbcH wero brought and the search continued. Up to the present hour about 160 corjwes have bet n secured. Among tho dead aro Januw BobertHon, Manage: of the Bank of British North America; J. C. Meredith, Clerk of tho Division Court ; Ym.

Mr. Matthews, night e ditor of .the Advertiser, lost hi- wife and two childrou. Harry .Smart, of the Free Press, lost wife, two children and a sister-in-law. The whole city seems almost demouted tonight. The accident was entirely due to grow carelessness. The boat was overcrowded to a disgraceful extent. The manager, George Parish, was expostulated with by several at Spring Bank, and urged not to let "tho boat go cut in that overcrowded condition, but ho Li reported to have replied, "All right, I know my business," or something of that sort. ' lie Story off tlie IHsaNter, from JJciuniiir Io JTCud. London Telegram to Chicago Tribune. Tuesday, the day of the horrible catastrophe, was tlie anniversary of Queen Victoria's birthday, and tbe grout bulk of the people closed up their houses aud went off for a day of innocent enjoyment Several train loads took their departure for tho lake shore at Port Stanley, others to Windsor and Saraia, and about 2,000 went to Springbank, being carried thither by the three exclusion steamers owned by the Thames Navigation Company. The day was pleasantly enjoyed in the customary recreations of a rural picnic, and, toward 5 o'clock, the hoiuovnrd rush bectan. The rotten Victoria was the tirst boat up. aud the rush to get ou board and reach the cily before supper-time was trtmeudoiut. Several people protested against theCiptaiu of the eraft allowing so inanv people to board her, but he was deaf to all entreaty, find allowed all who could find a place whereon to hang to coma along. Groaning under the weight of sbmo 600 people, who kept moving in masses from one side to another, the boat had a hard time of-it. The aiain deck was packed so tightly that it was with difficulty that one could elbow his way : yet at times the mass of humanity would, as it were, congeal together, so as to leave a small vacant space, sometimes on one and sometimes on the other side of tho deck. The hurrieana deck also was crowded, but hero there was none of that swayiug back and forth, which marked the crowd below. A few adventurous spiriU sought the seclusion of the boiler-deck and the englnc-room, where they smoked their cigars and watched tho movement of the machinery. All went wtP, or, at least, presmnahlv, until a bend iu the r.ver was reachid, about 200 yards below the Cove raiiroad bridge, and there the day of pleasure turned into adieu irie. About 7 o'clock some persons arrived in iho city with a wet and generally used up appearance and spread the intelligence of what had befallen the Victoria. Hiimow of all kinds began to spread like wildfire, but it was not for some minutes that the full significance of the news was realized. Then the general stampede for the river banks, iu which the entire cuv seemed to join. Every road leading to the fated spot had its Hue of people of both sexes, hurrying thither in astitoof frenzied anxiety, some sobbing hysterically aud questioriing every one in thoir llight as to tho f ute of friends aud relative whom they knew to have gone down the river. As each ouo arrived on the river bank overlooking the wreck aud saw the ghastly upturned faces of the dead who had boon taken out and Hid upon the sod, or looked out upon the shattered hulk which

lay in fragments on tuo water, they gave vent to piteous exclamations of grief: '"My God! such a smut I have never looked uinm!" said

Life in the Deep Sea. The conditions under which life exists in the deep sea are very remarkable.' The pressure exerted by the water nt great depths is enormous, and almost beyond comprehension. It amounts roughly to a ion weight ou tho squnreinch for every 1,000 fathoms of depth, so that at the depth of 2,500 fathoms there is u pressure of two tons and a half per square inch of surface, which may be contrasted with the fifteen pounds per Hqunre-incli pressure to which we are accustomed at the level of the sea surface.

"Oh, God, restore my little one!1 were prayers heard on all alios, On tbe wreck bravo men, streaming with perspiration, and strong in their noble purpose, were woi king like heroes in recovering the bodies which lay underneath the shattered boards aud timbers, and, as one after another wore brought to the surface aud carried tendeily to tlie green sward to add '.to tho ghastly row, the crowds pressed forward eagerly to scan the features. Their faces lit with a strange anxiety. Here was some bereaved father or brother, clasping the limp form of a beloved dung titer or sister, giving vent to their emotions in wails of anguish ; there sonio mother or sister lamenting over the corpse of a son or brother, like ltachel weeping because they wero not. Hero and there kuoU of men worked vigorously to restore to life some beloved relative, practicing all the arts known to them, rubbing the hands aud applying clothed heated at a neighboring fire, but all to no purpose. Vitality would not return, and the sorrowing friends gave up in despair. Meantime the work of rescuing wont on, and the list swelled and b welled until it seemed as if the end would never como. As dusk deepened into tho night the scene became more weird and terrible, fires wero lit upon the bank, shedding a lurid and fitful glare over the water, and showing the dreadful outlines in their most sinister aspect. The work of recovering the bodies was entered into with a heroic spirit by those who arrived early on the scene. Merchants, lawyers, workmen and all classes plunged into the water, and, borne up by rafts, began to hand the life lot; a forms of the drowned ones out to those on tho shore. Itesuscitation was tried with all who were rescued within one-halt hour, but only in one or two instances wero tho efforts successful. During the silent watches of the night, and by the lurid glare of wood-fires and petroleum torches, the work of rescuing the bodies of the drowned was carried on.

Seventeen Before Breakfast. When we hear a man, puffed up with his own truly gooduess, express his pity for a poor wretch in a patronizing way, we think of the poor heathen who suddenly discovered that he was a worse fellow than ho had suspected. The missionary read to him the commandments, and to each the heathen responded, Mo guilty." When it came to " Thou shalt not kill," he quickly answered, "Me not guilty." It was a relief to him to know that there was one commandment lie had not broken. "But," said tlie missionary, "not only does he break this commandment who commits murder, but ho also breaks it who feels in his heart that he would like to kill another." "Me kill seventeen before breakfast!" cried the poor man, utterly cost down.

WATERWAYS. Proceeding of Uto IVorlli wcNtcrn JCivcr and ( anal Improvement Convention, at Davenport, Unva. . The Northwestern Convention in aid of river and cmal improvement met at tho Opera House, in Davenport, on Wednesday, May 25. There were 379 delegates," representing all the Northwestern States, in attendance. Judge J. H. Murphy, of Davcuport, was made temporary Chairmau. Col. J. M. Allen addressed tho convention. Ho stated that the survey from Rock Island to Hennepin its sixty-five miles iu length, and that tho canal can be cut for less than $5,000,000, thus completing a highway from Chicago to the extreme northern" boundary of tho Northwest. Hon. Jamns F. Wilson alo addressed the convention. He Haid it w.ih the "transportation problem" aud not simply tho construction of a canal that had called them together. People believed that the transportation system was at present too expensive and too unstable, and should be reformed. Waterways wero the conservators of cheap and stablo transportation, and those which nature had provided should be kept in tho highest state of efficiency aud supplemented by such artificial ways as wero needed to effuct a complete system, Such ways 'were not the swift ones of commerce, but wero the maintaiuers of reasonable rates and better prices for products whoso value depended on getting to market. Transportation by rail had bcon depended on so largely that the waterway had been neglected, and hence the superb railway system had been a failuro in that it had not produced that standard of equity and fairness .vhieh the country of right had expec.ed. liy the creation of an efficient water competition tho railway service could bo brought to realize what its duties wore in this regard. After the appointment of Committees ou Credentials and Permanent Organization, an adjournment was voted until 3 p. m. On reassembling, the convention was addressed by tho Hon. J. B. Henderson, who represents the Sixtu Illinois district in Congress. He said the question of cheap transportation from the gram-growing districts to the seaboard was the important question before the people of the Wt. Ho wanted to seo direct water communication between the Upper Mississippi and Chicago. St. Louis and New Orleans must not think the commerce of the great NorthweBt could be condued to one beaten track. That trade must take in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Baltimore, and other cities. He did not advocate a yhip-canal, but believed a water-way ample for present requirements cou'o bo constructed for $5,ut(0,000, or about as much as was paid for a CuMtoni House in any one of the largo cities. The practicability of the route from Hennepin to Hock Island had been anirmed by successive Boards of Engineers. Gjv. John H. Gear, of Iowa, was introduced, and addresded the convention. He said that they had assembled for a most laudable purposit, having for its object the promotion of the welfare of the producers of tho Mississippi valley, by devising ways and means to lessen the cost" of transportation of the products of the farm and factory. It was true that less than half of the lands ill Iowa were under cultivation, yet the resources of 5,000 miles of railway in operation in the State wero taxed to their fullest extent last year to move tho surplus product. In IS SO from the State of Iowa alone there were exported 52,000,000 bushels of com, 9,000,000 bushels of wheat, 13,000,000 bntihels of oats, to nay nothing of other cereals. There wero packed 658,000 hogs in the State, and 2,570,000 were shipped away alive out of the State over six lines of railroads. There were 372,000 head of live cattle shipped East. With the exception of a portion or the cattle and hogs, the other things were the growth of Iowa alone. From this it would be seen that much depended upon this convention in giving such tone to public sentiment ns would best accomplish the de ni ruble results to the producers of the Mississippi valley. The Hon. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, came next, and opened his speech by saying that in his opinion waterways w ere .the only means of regulating freight charges and keeping railroad monopolies within bounds Two specters threatened tho perpetuity of republican institutions, aud tho worst of these was corporate monopoly, which had no soul and never died. Behind this stood a maddened and exasperated people, who might in the end be goaded to destroy tne whole machinery of government in order to get rid of its excrescences. It behooved mankind to follow tho plans of tho great Engineer of tho universe, and to digcjnals on tho lines marked out, 3Ir, Harrison advocated building a ship canal from Hennepin to Kock Island, and deepening the Illinois and Michigan canaL The Committee on Permanent Organization and Rules reported the following as permanent officers of the convention: President, K, S. Horr, East Saginaw, Mich.; Vice Presidents, J. W. Palmer, Detroit; J. L. Switz, New York ; J. W. Chapman, Council Bluffs; Oecrge Schneider, Chicago; W. I.Walkor, Toledo; Charles Seymour, La Crosse, Wis.; John Dement, Dixon, 111.; E. O. Standard, St. Louis; Chf rles V. King, Peoria; C. P. Clarkson, pes Moines; William Pettit, Minneapolis; John W. Burdette, Secretary, Burlington. Xowa. Charle3 A. Randolph, Secretary of the Chicago Board of Trade, spoke at great length ou the subject before the convention and in favor of tho Hennepin canal. Letters of regret wore read from Horatio Seymour, Secretary Windom, Govs. Piilsbnry, Jerome and Cullom, Senators A lb son, McDill, Saunders, Davis, Logan, Ingalia and Sawyer, and Congressman Parwell. After the appointment by tho chair of the necessary committees, the convention adjourned for the day.

New Cure for Crime. An idea, not exactly new, but now receiving new attention among scientists, is deserving of notice. The theory has been advanced that murders and snch crimes are not tho fruit of devilish disposition, of revenge or of hate. They are simply the natural results of some abnormal condition of the brain. The undue growth of the bone in the region of the medulla oblongata presses upon the brain and drives tho innocent man to innocently seize an ax and blamelessly chop his wife's head open. It is her misfortune, not his fault. The post mortem examination of the brains of a number of murderers shows in a majority of cases some tumor, malformation, or softening of the brain. The brains of assassins aro usually larger than tho average. Suicides in almost every case show softening of the brain in one or more lobes. The radical believers iu this theory argue that this being tho case, hanging is not tho remedy for crime. Murderers are to be pitied, not punished, and placed under medical treatment, instead of hangod. At least, while the theory is not yet generally accepted, they hold that a convicted murderer should bo given to them to experiment on, cut a section out of his skull bone and try to mold his brain 'into now shape. However this may be, in places where hanging is still in vogue, where tho choiee is between conlinement under medical treatment and turning the criminal loose on the community, the decision should not lo one long to consider. Pittsburg Telegraph, How Animals Foretold a t Earthquake. An Italian writer on the catastrophe on the island of Isehia mentions those prognostics of an earthquake which are derived from animals. They were observed in every place where the shocks were such as to he generally perceptible, Some minutes before they wero felt, the oxen and cows began to bellow, the sheep and goats bleated; and, rushing in confusion, one on the other, tried to break the wicker work of the folds ; the dogs howled terribly, the geese and fowls were alarmed, and made much noise ; the horses which were fastened in their stalls wero greatly agitnted, leaped up, and tried to break the halters with which they were attached to the minivers ; tluw which were proceeding on I lie roads suddenly stopped and snorted iu a very strange way. The eate

were frightened, and tried to conceal themselves, or their hair bristled -up wildly. Babbitts and moles were seen to leave their holes ; birds rose; as if scared, from the places on which they had alighted ; and fish left the bottom of the sea and approached the shores, where at some places great numbers of them were taken. Even ants aud reptiles abandoned, in clear daylight, their subterranean holes iu great disorder, many hours before the shocks were felt. Some dogs, a few minutes before the first shock took place, awoke their sleeping masters by barking and pulling them, as if they wished to warn them of the impending danger, and several persous were thus enabled to save themselves. Whisky Drinking in a Dry Climate The effect of alcohol on the Indians of the high, dry plains, even when taken in small quantities, is to almost instantly drive them crazy. The frequent assaults that have been made by mounted Indians armed with bows and arrows, on Western trading posts defended by American liflemen, sharply indicate the effect of alcohol in men of highly nervous temperament, natives of a dry country where the light atmosphere is highly charged with electricity. So it is with white men. The murderous acts of the "cow boys," when under tlie influenco of liquor, are well known. "When sober, a more hospitable and kind-hearted class does not exist. When drunk they exhibit all the characteristics of tlie Indians. They are transformed into howling, bloodthirsty fiends. They shoot and stab each other, as well -as unoffending strangers, with the savageness of Cheyennes or Sioux, Most of these men are residents of Western Texas. Many of them were born in that State, Almost all of them have lived on the plains for a term of years. The country they inhabit is arid and of an altitude of from 1,200 to 6,000 feet above the sea. Throughout tho pastoral region the atmosphere ia surcharged with electricity that expends its force in terrific thunderstorms, in tornadoes and in the dreaded dry waterspouts. Throughout the pastoral region the fact that a man who has become acclimated cannot safely stimulate himself with alcohol is well known, and has long been admitted by all thinking men. In Kansas, above all other Western States, has the attempt to settle the arid belt with agriculturists been made. Living in this belt are thousands of voters, und it was the ballots of these men that accomplished the adoption of the constitutional amendment prohibiting tho manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the State, Unconsciously they, by their ballots, recognized tho conditions of the climate in which, they live. The adoption was a measure of self-deiense. Democrats and Eepublicans, irrespective of party, voted for the measure. Frank Wilkeson, in the New York Times. Curing Bail-Tempered Horses. The stable-boy told me a year or so ago, says a correspondent of the New York Evening Post, that my horse had got to acting very ugly when he drove him out of 3the carriage-house prancing, jumping,.backing aj- cutting up generally. On taking tlireins niyeelf, next time he was harnessed, I saw this was indeed the case. I had some difficulty in getting into the street without knocking the carriage to pieces agaiust the gate-posts, and when he got there, there was quite a circus exhibition before wo behaved ourselves. I took a night to meditate upon tho difficulty, for it seemed to me a pretty serious one, as I had known many horses to fall into a vicious habit of that kind and never get out of it. The next day when L e was put to the carriage I carried out an apple and gave him, and while he was enjoying it got into the buggy and took up the lines, and he walked out of the barn as quietly as a kitten. Pormore tbau six years afterword he never showed tlie slightest return of his rebellious behavior, thinking, no doubt, every time he was harnessed of that delicious apple, though the luxury of bribery had not been once repeated. But, a few weeks ago, the lad who takes care of him told me that Bobtail (so called because his tail swoops the ground) was getting into his tantrums again. I told Phil to give him a potato the next time he took him out, apples being out of market. This worked an equally sudden cure, which lasts until the present writing. Now, I deem, as Gen. Jackson used to say, that this treatment will cure balkincss also, as well as any other bad habit of a horse that grows ont of vexation of mind. The mental constitution of this animal, and his moral constitution too, are too much like that of - a child. Now you can never beat anger out of the bosom of your children, but rather does every blow make it hotter ; neither can vou argue it out, nor trick it out ; but a stick of candy will do it, or any other indulgence to which the patient is not aoeustorncd. A Kcvr Dance in Milwuilice. We learn that a yonnS Milwaukee gentleman has-prepared xhe music for a new dance, to supersede the racquet, and that it is of such a lively and captivating nature as to leave the racquet in the lurch ns a slow coach. He has been experiencing some difficulty, however, in securing a baud to properly execute tho music, and of a recent rehearsal had the misfortune to lose his trombone swallower. In executing one of the liveliest passages, where the trombone U depended upon for a crash representing the earthquake nt Scio, the yonng mau forgot to work the escape valve, and tho blast recoiled and blew out his brains. Of course, that finished him aa a trombone player, and he has since been doing editorial work as a writer of finance. The new dance will be called "The Duelo," the dancers having; tho choice of weapon, but tossing: up for positions. Competent surgeons will be in attendance, to pick up the pieces of girl that have been squeezed in two, after each dance, and match them, and the greatest car will beexeroised not to send home the upper part of one girl with tho lower portion of another.
