Davis is a question that sonic excitable journalists are discussing, and suggestions in connection with a rope and a sour apple tree are made. Let Jeff. Pavis alone. Don't harm a hair of his head.

AS EARTHQUAKE L\r IIIIVA.

Sine Temples and more than a Thousand Dwellings Destroyed—I pward or Two Thosuand or the Inhabitants Killed.

WASHINGTON-, June 4.—Minister Lowe has forwarded to Secretary Fish a report of an earthquake which occured in Bethong, in the province of

is again in distress over Szechuen. The report is made by the

beyond tho borders of the province about two hundred and sixty inilcs west from Li tang, and more than thirty post stations from Ta-tsien. on the the high road to Thibet. I

A few of the troops and people escaped, but most of the iomatcs were crushed and killed by the falling timbers and stone. Flames also suddenly burst out in four places, which strong winds drove about until the heavens were darkened with smoke, ami the roarings were mingled with the lamentations of the distressed people.

On the 10th the flames were beaten down, but the rumbling noises were still heard under ground like distant thunder, and the earth rocked and rolled like a ship in a storm, at the mercy of tho waves. The multiplied miseries of the afllictcd inhabitants were increased by a thousand fears, but in about ten days matters began to grow quiet, and the motion to ceasc.

The grain collector of Bathong snys that for several days before the earthquake the water had overflowed the dyke but after it the earth cracked in many places, and black, fetid water spurted out in a f'uriou? manner. If one polled it the spurting instantly fol lowed, just as is the case with the salt well and fire wells in the eastern part of the province and this explains how that fire followed the earthquake in Bothong.

As nearly as ascertained, there were destroyed two temples, the offices of the collector of grain tax, the local magistrate, and the colonel, the Ting lin temple, and nearly seven hundred fathoms of wall around it, and 351 rooms in all inside it, six smaller teni pies numbering 221 rooms, besides 1,89-1 other rooms and houses of the common peoplo. Tho number of people, soldiers and llamas killed by the crash was 2,298, among whom were the losal magistrate and his sccond in office.

Tho earthquake extended from Bethong eastward to I'ang-chah-muh, westward to Nan tun, on the south to Lin-tsah-shih, and on the north to the salt wells of A-tcntsz, a circuit of over four hundred miles. In some places steep hills split aud sank into deep pitB in others hiiid on level spots became prccipitious cliffs, and the roads aud highways were rendered impassable by obstruction.

Tho people were scattered and beggared like autumn leaves and this calamity to the people of Bathong and vicinity was really one of the most distressing and destructive that has happened. The Governor-Gener-al twice memorialized the Euiperor respecting it, who granted aid to relieve th^ misery, reopen tho roads between tho post houses, aud rebuild or repair tho offices aud houses as thev were, needed. Many are now resuming their occupations, aud the roads arc everywhere passable.

A FIGHT WITH BKIGAXUS.

We published a dispatch yesterday, from Gilroy giving an account of a

men ofskillfql and successful forging, the thirty-flve ton Frascr cannon, at Woolwicb, England, is without parallel. Of extraordinary strength and proportions, and withal so carefully finished, this magnificent gun, says Nature, is a masterpiece. Cannon of larger dimensions Lave, it is true, been produced, capable actually of delivering a heavier projectile than that pipployod with tho Woolwich weapon, but none of them are to be in any way compared with this, eithor in respect to battering power or length of range. That the gun is, moreover, not merely a show production, as was the case with the monster Krapp cannon, but a really serviceable and efficient fire-arm is showr, by its enduranco of the severe test to which it was subjected as proof. On this occasion tho sevenhundred pound projectile was thrown __ from tho gun by the enormous chargo drew out a pair of hand-cuffs and diof 130 pounds of gunpowder—the rected Winchell to approach and put largest, in fact, that has ever been con-I them on.

The Sheriff and his men found the gaug in the valley among the l'anoche mountains, and divided into three parties. Sheriff Morse and Mr. Winchell tied their horscs'aud proceeded on foot to a house to obtain a drink of water, thinking that Soto was further up the valley. Ou entering the door Mr. Morse saw the man he was after sitting at a table, and instcntly covered him with his revolver and ordered him to throw up his hands. Soto refused, and sat sullenly watching bis chanco for a spring, not daring to mave for his pistol. Morse ordered him three times to hold up his hands, and keeping his eye steadily on the watch

At thai Mexican woman seized Morse's pistol arm, a man grabbed the other, and while his arm was deranged, Soto sprang behind a third person, uttering a fierce oath and drawing his own pistol. Morse tore loose from them and shot over the head of the man in front and through Soto's hat, knocking it off Finding himself surrounded by the desperate inhabitants of the cabin, he

THE late fearful tragedy of which Archbishop Darboy was the victim, recalls to mind the fate of some of his recent predecessors. No less than four Archbishops of Paris have met violent deaths within the last eighty years. In 1793 Archbishop de Iuigne was guillotined. In 1815 Cardinal Maury had to seek refuge in Rome along with the Bonaparte family. In 1S30 Monsigneur de Quelin was persecuted by the mob, aud his palace was sacked and afterward pulled down. His successor, Archbish&p Affre died in the barricade of the Foubourg Saint Antonie in .Juue IS48. Monsiegnuer Sibour, who succeeded him, was murdered by Verger in 1857. And now Monsigneur Dirt-boy has been sacrificed in a similar manner.

Spto then ran into the house, and Morse made for his horse to get his Henry rifle. Soto came out with a big revolver in each hand and ran for hia horse, which was hitchod near by.

The horse bccamc frightened by ^the morning, while the air was* hot and firing, tore away, and Soto, not being sultry, and to the west and south-west

able to eafeh the animal, ran down the of Mason City, light clouds were visible, and in the north-WQst

Soto staggered with the wound

and at once returned toward Morse, with a pistol in each hand. At this point Sheriff Harris having heard the firing, came up at full speed, aud seeing the situation of affairs, fired at Soto with his Spencer rifle, but missed his aim. Soto rushed on' to Morse, who, getting another chance fired again and

This ended^onc of the most cxciting and terrific combats we have ever heard of, arid which rid the settlomcnts of a most dangerous an2 poo tilent scourge. Soto, as we have al ready stated, was a large and powerful man, a complete type of the traditional Mexican bandit, with long black hair, heavy brushy eyebrows, large eyes of an undefined color, and had altogether a tigerish appearance. He had served two terms in the State prisou and was generally regarded as the most formidable and desperate character on the coast. lie was known to ail the Mexican inhabitants in the lower countries, and was held in such dread that few or nouc of them dare offend him or make known his hiding place.

Wo commend the following to the noticc of the public LAFAYETTE, IND May 10,1871. M' "It gives me pleasure to acknowledge tho prompt payment by the Empire Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, through Messrs. C. G. Ward & Son, their Indiana State Agents, of Indianapolis, of five thousand dollars (85,000) the full amount of an insurance by said company, on the Life of my deceased husband, Benjamin B. Barron late joint proprietor of the Lafayette daily aud weekly Journal.

Thus five thousand dollars comes to the widow and orphans of our late

partner ou the payment of one annual premium of 8119 OS, and tolls its own story in favor of life insurance as a vv'lse and certain provision, by a prudent and affectionate father and husband for those depending upon -him. This is the sccond payment, promptly made by the Empire, to the widow and orphans in this city within a few weeks •past, aud establishes bo'yond a question the good character of tho Empire company for honorable dealing and ability to meet the liabilities and promptness, to tho letter of its contracts, which is all that need be said for any company.-- We cheerfully re

While the black column was moving, a cold current of air coming from the west was most sensibly felt at Mason City, and a mile away from its track an odor much like that of

SMALL BLAZES OR FLASHES 'Of electricit}- were constant visible in the storm-column, from the earth to the cloud above, and that rapid popping, cracking reports were heard, reminding him most forcibly of a THOUSAND INFANTRY' IN THE CASTLE, Firing their muskets as fast as possible. As fearful as was the appearance of the dark, black, smoky storm column, or columns, resting upon the earth and reaching to and taking fast hold ou the clouds of heaven, more marvelous, if possible, was

TION WAS LEFT ALIVE.

Had the fires descended from heaven and fallen in the pathway^ of tho tornado, as it did on Sodom, the destruction of every living thing of the vegetable kingdom could not have been more complete. For some distance in its path TIIE EARTH WAS LITERALLY PLOWED

To the depth of six inches. In passing over the unbroken|prairic so inconceivably rapid must have been the rotary motion of the wind of the tornado that the earth was gathered up from about the deep roots of the prairie grass, aud the grass with its base roots clean as if they have been washed, was lifted from the earth and left strewn in the storms pathway. Where the course of the tornado leads through a wheat field, every stalk of wheat standing in the path was torn down and twisted into every conceivablc shape, and where an Osage orange hedge laid across its way, for the width of its path the hedtre bushes were torn into shreds.

STRANGE PHENO.ME.N

But the strangest aud most wonderful of all the strange phenomena connected with this tornado, is that the column of whirling air must have been

The Cost and Trofit or Gas Making. ... A Tirnnk 1y Gas Light Journal, gains light on the cost and profit of gas manufacture, and learns why no "gas-holder" is ever known to part with his gas stock save at the death-bed and the probate court. In a communication from the Easton Gas Company, it is stated: "Our yield per pound of coal during the last year has been four cubic feet, and six-tenths of gas, from Westmoreland coal." Turning to the price for

as coa or we

*"IU(1 "West-

I moreland" quoted at 87 per ton, delivered in New York. Whether the gas coal is 2,240 pounds or only 2,000 is not stated but giving the alternative least favorable to excessive profits,

and assuming that a gas company buys but 2,000 pounds for its $7, the result will be that it makes 9,200 feet of gas for every 87 worth of coal it buys. This gas being sold at 83.55 per 1,000 feet would yield a fraction over 830 worth of gas out of the 87 worth of coal. There would be coak left salable at 83 per ton and upward so for every dollar spent in coal the gas company receives nearly 85 in the price of merely the two maiu products which they extract from the coal by their distillation process.

The i'otato-Biigt in the West. The potato-bugs, from the ravages of which the western part of the State suffered so much last year, have made their appearance in this vicinity in overwhelming numbers. They couic into our gardens, aud evcu into our houses, and swarm upon the sidewalks to be crushed by the feet of pedestrians. A gentleman from Grossc Point reports that they scorn to be quite as much at home on the water as upon land, and that the surface of the lake is literally alive with them, as it often is with the June flies, which so swarm about our street lamps ou warm summer evenings. lie says the potato-bugs often fly a considerable distance, and that they float easily on the surface of the water. They arc evidently bouud to make a raid on Canada, and it will prove mora disastrous than any Feuian raid has ever been. The curious instinct which prompts them to travel eastward does not find itself thwarted by wide bod ics of water, for they float, across, and resume their journey on the other side. It would be interesting to know for what great purpose these bugs started out ou their trip from the Rocky Mountaius eastward, and why they have been so frightfully prolific on the way. It notv seems probable that the potato crop in Michigan will prove an entire failure this year.—Detroit Post May 30.

IT is significant of the future that the French Commission reports in favor of the adoption in France of the Prussian military system, by which every man is obliged to render compulsory military service to the State. This indicates that France i3 determined to regain her old position among the nations as a first-class power. It is suggestive of a futuro settlement with Germany. The fact is, as long as the latter power is thus securely

INTENSELY HOT.

As is shown by ths fact that every spear of grass, stalk of corn and wheat, everything in its path were literally and totally scorched to death and dried to a crisp. The prairie grass along the storm's track, which was luxuriantly green before the tornado passed, was left as brown and dead as it is found in midwinter. The leaves of the hedge where the devastating tornado passed across it in its way crumbled as to the dead dry leaves of the forest after the blasting autumn frost has done its work. The young corn which stood in its path was as dead and black as if a

I IN a few years three great arteries of iron will conuect the Atlantic with the Pacific coast. These arteries will run through different sections of our I continent. The Northern Pacific line will cross the plains along the fortyfifth parallel of latitude, through the I great wheat zone. The Central Pacific line, which is already in operation, keeps along the thirty-ninth parallel of latitude, embracing the zone of Indian corn and the grape vine. The

Southern Pacific line will give access to the cotton regions of Texas and to excellent grazing districts. In traversing the mountain chains of the Pacific coast, these-iron lines will open new channels to facilitate the exploration of the inexhaustible deposits of precious minerals, and all three will have their termini at the shores of the Pacific ocean, the direct route to Japan and China, thus opening up an enormous empire, which will offer an unbounJed field to the enterprising spirit of the people.

Carrlnston.

Brigadier-General Carrington who made himself quite a reputation durihg the war as a hash-punisher, receives the following very elegant notice from General Reuben C. Kisc, now editor of the Vincennes Sun. The General says "Carrrington, that fierce and gory child of Mars anikwar-scarred veteran of a thousand sanguinary fields, Brigadier General Carrington, was a witness for the defence in the suit of Mi 1 ligan against Hovey and others, tried in Indianapolis last week. He testified that Indiana was in a state of war, during 18G2 3, consequent upon the fact that two or three thousand dcfcncelcss and unarmed rebel prisoners were confined at Camp Morton and there was danger of their getting loose, and murdeiring five or six thousrndj armed Union men militia in the variour camps and barracks about India-

"This man Carrington testified tlut at one time he mounted a howitzer battery on the parapets of Camp Morton, and threatened to open on the rebel prisoners, with grape and canuistcr, because they had been guilty of peeping through the cracks on the board fcncc that enclosed the camp. What a valorous warrior is this How eminently worthy to hold the chair of Military Professor in ono of our leading colleges, and to teach the youth of the State to make war on scientific and humane principals The blush of shame would have mantled his cheek on making the above statement, if he had had a spark of manly couragc in his composition. But, strange as it may appear, he made the humilitaing confession voluntarily aud uncalled for, and seemed to think it quite a meritorious act in training cannon on unarmed and offending prisoners. "Carrington as a soldier was a miserable coward and imbecile. Throughout the entire war he strutted about the streets of Indianapolis and other northern cities, wearing immense feathers in his hat and pondrous epaulettes, the weight of which was enough to give any ordinary man curvature of the spino. Like Job's famous war horse, he scented the battle from afar off, and then took himself still further off.

Shortly after the close of the war he was sent out to the frontier, and at Fort Laramie he permitted eighty soldiers of his command to be cruelly massacred by the Indians, in tho presence and in sight of the whole garrison of the fort, when he had sufficient forcc to have driven off by the redskins and saved the lives of his men. This is the sort of man that Morton kept at Indianapolis to do his bidding during the war—to break open houses, ransack private papers, terrify women and children, and arrest and imprison peaceable citizens ou political grounds. Can human imagination picture a crcature more detestable

IT is quite probable that Paris lias lost forever the position it occupiod for thirteen hundred years as the capitol of Francc. Its numerous revolts have irritated the country districts beyond all forbearance, and they appear determined to punish it in the manner indicated. The destruction of the palace of the Tuilleries and other public buildings, that were identified with the ancient glories of France, have facilitated the scheme of removal. What is left of historical France is at Versailles, whose magnificent palacc, erected by Louis XIV, is by far the finest in Europe. It is fourteen miles from Paris, easy of access, and there will be located tho Administration.

ALTHOUGH Larnbin P. Milligau was only awarded the pitiful sum of five dollars damages in consequencc of his

trial by a military commission at Indianapolis, his condemnation to death, his subsequent commutation of sentence and final incarceration for more than a year in the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio, yet he wori a substantial victory by having the highest courts of the land pronouncing his arrest illegal and punishment 'unauthorized. The case will go down to history as furnishing an evidcncc how far the unbridled passions of men and their love of power will carry them agakist right, justice and human life.

WE are informed that the San JJomirigo report, with the accompanktg documents, is nearly ready for disfcribution. It will make a volume of about three hundred pages, and a large part of it is devoted to describing bugs and insects indegenous to that lamou3 I island. This branch of the work will no doubt be a valuable contribution to the important science of bugs but why in the world the ("nited Sta-tc& Government should go to the expense of publishing it, is a conundrum to hard for the unaided mind to answer.
