THE NEWS CONDENSED, -— . - Ihe east. Judge Galbraith, of the Court of ' Common Pleas of Erie. Pa., has revoked the . charter of the National Longevity Association, whose object was to defeat death. The ostensible reasons for this suicidal act arc that the society is a fraud, and likely, if undistuned, to catch an enormous number of gudgeons... .A boat modeled after the old Maid of the Mist successfully passed through the Niagara rapids, though minus a crew Forty thousand persons Witnessed the experiment John Jacob Astor, of New York, is said to have deeded to his only son. now I nited States Minister to Italy, property valued at the lowest estimate at $60,0.0,003, subject to a pension of $ ItO.IOO per annum. The object is believed to be the concealment of the amount of the estate Jay Gould was a witness before the Senate Sub-Committee on Education and Labor, at New York. A large audience gathered to hear him recite his autobiography. He said he was 47 years old, and was in his youth a cow-boy. He studied mathematics night and day, learning at a tender age that |4O,UM),OU) and s4< ,000,000 make $80,000,000, and later applying that principle with success to the stock of the h estem Union. He next joined a surveying party, which beat him, and he was forced to sell sun-dials tor his diurnal food supplies. He got a sur- ■ veying contract, and made $5,000 in his *>d year. He then began business as a tan- 1 ner with a partner. The partner kiil> d himself He then became Superin’endent of a railroad, and even body lost faith In that road except Mr. Gould who boug it nearly all the stock. The roar! then aid better,and Mr. Gould was rich, over many incidents in his career, the autobiographer came down to his opei ati< ns in Union Pacific. There he declared he saved the property of 7,C00 investors. Next came the Southwes era system. Mr. Gould sim ly wanted to see what could I e done by combination. When he got the 10,000 miles of road together they earn* d S .0,000 a month. month they earned $5,500,000. He was also a Director in many of the greatest rail- 1 roads of other regions of the country. The Senators asked Mr. Gould about postal telegraphy. It did not strike him favorably. Government interference would be deplorable Supply and demand, he thought, would fix everything and bring about the millenium. John Swinton,of New* York,appeared as a witness before the Senate Sub-Commit-tee on Labor and Education, sitting in that city. He recommended the revival of the income tax, as originally in force; the establishment of a National Board of Industry empowered to collect labor statistics of every description, and including power to enforce the Slight Hour law: the establishment of effectual Boards of Health, Education and Public Works; industrial schoolsand colleges on the French system: the Belgium system of freedom from pa ents; no tai banks under the British system, land laws which will prevent the holding 1 y private individual of great tracts of land, public ownership of coal, iron, gold and other mines, and all oil wells. Everyone of these measures has been put In practice in one country or another, and they were all capable of enforcement by legis’ation, and have in every instance proved successful. Witness maintained that industrial schools, such as exist in nearly all European countries, should I>e instituted here ami be under the control of the Government; Working railroads and telegraph lines by the Government in Berlin showed conclusively it should be adopted in this country. He thought the Legislature had the power to do this. He was also of the opinion that the Government should institute postal banks, where the poorer classes could make deposits. Ex President .John Jarrett, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers was also before the committee. He favored the establishment of a Bureau of Labor Stat.stics,the enforcement of the Eight Hour law, and prevention of strikes by arbitration. There should be a national law, he thought, incorporating trades unions. He believed in the organization of capitalists as well as workingmen. The witness said there was a tendency to lo wer wages by the employment of Bohemians to do unskilled labor, and this tendency is encouraged by the constant introduction of labor saving machines. Steel manufacturers have imported workmen for the purpose of lowering w gee. A Boston dispatch says that “the severe drought from which New England is now suffering has not only ruined the ripening crops and spoiled the fall feed, on which every farmer depends, but it has dried up the brooks and wells and scorched the forests until every meadow and grove is a tinder-box, readv to spring into a blaze on the first contact of tire. Forest fires have been burning for several w eeks in some of the outlying towns near Boston. It is imj ossible to estimate the re il and entailed loss from these causes, but it will probably reach $1,000,000. Destructive forest fires are also reported in New York and other Eastern States. ... .Mrs. Julia P. Smith, the novelist, was killed by a runaway at New Hartford, CtA score of villagers attended the auction in Chappaqua, N. Y’., at which Horace Greeley's farm was sold. One bid was made for the seventy-seven acres, and it was sold to Miss Gabrielle M. Greeley tor SIO,OOO. Neighbors who w anted the property would not b d against the daughter. The place cost Horace Greeley about $lO,000. and he expended on its improvement about 375,(4X1... .N. A H. O Donnell's steam cooperage works in Jersey City were consumed by fire, with all the machinery and eight car loads of staves. The total loes is about $63,000.... The Elkhorn tannery, belonging to Michael D Kestler. at StrouHsburg, Pa. was destroyed by fire. The loss is estimated at $153,00', covered by insurance. The Newark (N. J. ) Evening News publishes two letters from the abductors of little Charlie Rose, written Nov. 22 and 24, 1871 (the year in which the child was spirited ■wav), to Mr. Christian K, Ross, and demand, ins >20.000 ransom or his son would be put to death. The documents were found among the papers of the late William H. Heins, Chief of the Philadelphia detectives, lhe point aimed at by the AVws is that the evidence of those letters was unknown to Mr. Roas or his friends, and so pre ven'ed, m a measure, the return of the child to hinareuta....

It was hoped to use the.e notes in the mails to fill the gap made S- th? XbUon of the fractional paper money. The banks retuse to accept the postal notes and business concerns receiving a good deal of money in the aggregate by meins of postal notes, find the.i.selves put to serious inconvenience and rose.

There was th • greatest of joy among the banditti and their friends, whose name is legion. The Chief Magistrate of the nation was most royally entertained by the Chicagoans, and, from all indications, had a jolly yrood t.me in the Garden Citv. The totesence of the distinaruished visitor in the city had l een so exten iveiy advert sed by the local press that there was a feverish excitement and constant anticipation by peop.e who wanted to see a real live President The first evening of his stay he accepted a persona invitation from the veteran conn dian and manager, J. H. McVicker, to at.end his theater. When the party, consisting of President Arthur. Secretary Lincoln, Gen. Sheridan and other-, entered the theater, the audience rose and applauded. The play was the • Hunchba k,” and Mi s Mather the star. At the end of the third act, when Miss Mather was called before the curtain with Mr. Levick, she had a bank of flowers in the center of which in violebs were the words, “•lo the President, from Margaret Mather.” She banded this to him, and he bowed in return while the house applauded. At ihe end of the fourth act the President asked to be presente I to Miss Mather, and sue was accompanied to his box by her manager. Mr. Hill. The Pi esident thanked her | ersonally and said he had been delighted by her acting. Miss Mather replied briefly and gracefully, thanking the President tor the nouor he had bestowed upon her by bis j resence. The party sat the play out, and when it was over lhe audience halted on the stairway and sidewalk while the President passed out, and cheered him as he was driven away. The next day the Pres d nt vi ited the Boa d of Trade, and devoted an hour or so watching the wild bulls and bears. A dense crowd assembled to see the distinguished vLitors. lhe President was next driven to the rooms of the League Club, where a fine lunch was served. In the evening two hours were devoted to a pub icreception at the Grand Pacific Hotel, and thousands of citizens availed themselves of thi < opportun ty to see the nation's ruler. The President left at midnight, expressing himself highly pleased at his sojourn in the Western metropo.ia The young tragedienne, Miss Mar garet Mather, is in the third week of her engagement at McVicker's Theater. Chicago, which has proven a h’ghly-succe sful ne, artis ically and fim.nc.aily. This weeK she appears in ‘•Romeo and Ju det,” “Lady of i Lyons,” and “Leah, the Forsaken.” A Chicago dispatch of the 10th inst. says. “Advices from representative points tn the corn belt make it positive that frost fins wrought great destruction. M chigan seems to have fared badly, nearly everything in the vege able line hav ng ue n kil.e lat Battle Creek and Saugatuck. Tobacco in Dane and Rock counties. Wis., was ruined with the corn, and cranberries at Sturgeon Bav got nipped. L ght frosts are reported at Des Moines, Atlantic and Bur-, lingt >n, lowa, and ice at Dubuque. Vegetables were injured at Elkhart and Hunt* ngton, Ind. ’ Ice formed at Macomb, 111., and frost was < uite gener 1 throughout the central part of the Sta r e, but the dry atmosi here saved corn at s me j oints, leior s from Northern Wisconsin, Minnesota Dakota andchioare to the e tect j that the st*md ng corn has been irreparably | damaged. In some sections on the lowlands corn is am< st entirely destroyed. On the I hie her ground the frost was not so serious, i and less injury was inflicted” A Des Moines di-ratch says: “BeperuS fiom different parts of the State to-night indicate that the damage to the corn cron <>i | lowa has been almost wtollv confined io the , lowlandsand has been slight” A dispatch ; from S oux Falls. Dakota, reports: “An- ! other heavy frost last night has left no rco n to doubt the ruin of the com crop of this section. ” The completion of the Northern Pacific railroad was formally effected forty miles west of Helena, Montana, on the sth of September. Jay Cooke, the man tha began, and Henry Villard, the man that finished the work, were a corded the honor of driving the golden spike. While a construction train on the ! South Park railroad was coming down . Kenosha mountain, in Colorado, the engine jumped the track and eight cars back ot it , were telescoped down the embankment. Conductor Livingstone, Engineer host eland Brakeman Lake were injured, probably fatally. A Chicago dispatch of the 11th inst., ; says: “Reports as to the work of Jack Frosu are conflicting, and, upon the whole, it would seem that the damage wrought snot ■ near so serious a* was at fir t believed. In ; Ohioand Indiana corn in lowlands fullered | severelv, but the plant in h g.ier ground was onlv slightly injured. Most complaints have come from dis- i trie is in which Kan-as and Nebraska seed . was plan led and whi h only lately came to ; a head. The dis atches from Illinois and lowa are more reassuring, and convey the intelligence that the crop has not been injured seriously. In certain districts ot U isconsin tobacco has been ruined, aid in Mi waukee county the cucumber ciop is almost a total loss. In Mi higan coin generally escaped fatal injury, buo a* much cannot be said for fruits, tomatoes, and other vegetables, .n the Chemung vaUev, N. 1., and sections ot New Jersey buckwheat and tobacco suffered greatly by the fall in temperature, while in the taj e Cod district of Massachusetts the cranberry crop and squashes ha\e been mined beyond rt dempt on by the long-con-tinued dio ight Dispatches report considerable damage to ve etables at scattered points in New York and Vermont. Tne question as to the fate of the g ow ng corn served to give tne markets here unu ual animation.

CAREY’S FATE, Further Particulars of the Killing of the Informer. A newsp aper printed at Capetown, South Africa, gives some interesting details of i he outward voyage of Carey in the Kinfauns Castle: “A fellow-} named Williams, and one of the stewards of lhe ship, Feem both to have been i-tiuck with there emblance of the man to the j ictures of Carey which they nad seen in the illustrated papers, ana the fact that his family was of the same number as Carey's, and that t he eldest boy answered to the de cii - tion given of him at the time when he appeared as a witness in the Lublin trials, tended to confirm their susjdcions Be tween Madeira and this port the steward and Williams made it their especia business to find out conclusively whether the man was the notorious character they beliexed him to be. They had plenty of epportunities for doing this, as Carey and nis wife freely indulged in liquor throughout the voyage, and the s cret was wormed out of the chi dren without much difficulty, so ! that a few days be.ore the arrival of the Kin anna Castle in Table Bay all doubts weie removed as to Mr. Power's identity. He had an unlimited supply of ready cash, and l>oth hi - wife and children weie treated to anything they might desire. He said he wa< a builder by trade, and was going to settle in Nat ah One of the persons who was taken into the secret was O Donnell. When to d that Power was none o.her than ( arey, he dec a e 1 that if he were but satisfied of the man's identitv, he would ‘d—d soon let daylight into his vile car case,' and the ship seems to have arrived here before his doubts on this point had I een removed. While the Finfauns Castle was in the dock, Carey came {.shore with his two eldest boys, and while in town fell in with Williams and an c th< r man who came out in the ship, known as ‘Scottv.’ Among o her places (hey visited ! was the City Hotel in Wa erkant street, and while there an altercation arose among them on political questions.

Among the memories of my boyhood, while under 13 years of age. no day has occurred with more frequency and satisfaction than that devoted to tree planting. The maples then set out before the homestead, in Litchfield county, are now beautiful aud stately trees. They have paid me a thousandfold for the work they cost, and added new attractions to the cherished spot to which I count it a privilege to make an annual visit. This personal incident is given to suggest how easily our youth may now provide for a like grateful experience. A single fact out of many which might be given will be enough to illustrate the economic bearing of tree planting. New Haven owes its beauty and growth largely to the taste, liberality and foresight of James Hillhouse. The Public Green Association, which he organized in 1799, raised and expended a little over $1,5(10 for planting elms and grading the green. One of the donors gave five gallons of rum, then apparently as good as legal tender. Next to the location of Yale College, nothing has contributed so much to the groxvth and enrichment of New Haven as its elms. It is celebrated in this and other lands as the City of Elms. Its magnificent avenues of stately trees, surpassing even the famous Unter den Linden of Berlin, have enhanced its reputation for taste, beauty and elegance, and thus attracted many wealthy and desirable residents, and greatly increased the taxable value of all the property in the city. New Haven virtually receives an annual income from her elms far greater than their entire original cost.— B. G. Northrop. THE MARKET. NEW YURK.

Clay County Enterprise: On the first of October it is thought tliat a general strike will be inaugurated for an advance of 15 cents a ton on the price of mining. The operators say they can see no way in the world to pay it They have got no reduction of freights, as was promised them a year or more ago, when the railroads offered, if the miners would submit to a reduction of fifteen cents a ton, the railroad would make a corresponding reduction of transportation.

Willis and Edgar Noe, were caught in the act of makI tng their escape by scaling the southern I ; i wall As the guard, Charles Cochrane, ap , proached them they ordered him to halt Willis at the same time advancing towardhim, holding a ladder in his hand as though | intending to strike him with it. The guard i knowing the desperate character of the man I he had to deal with, quickly raised his re i I volver and fired at the approaching convict, | | the ball striking him in the large muscle ol ; I the left arm, and passing through it, enter ■ ing his left breast about three inches to the i left of the nipple, mortally wounding him. : The convict droppea the ladder and cried i i out that he was shot and would give up. I I Wills was taken to the prison hospital, ami i the physician says he cannot live. He wa< I sent up from Madison county for horse stealing, on a four-years’ term, about eighteen months ago. Noe, Wills’ accomplice, | was sent up, about a year ago, from Indij anapolis, on a two-years’ term for grand larceny. At Indianapolis Judge Taylor gave a rul- , ing in the matter of the receivership of the | Indiana Banking Company, embracing the 1 legal propositions, first that a statute proi vides that a Judge in vacation may appoint a I receiver; second, there is no statute aui thorizing a removal in vacation. It follows ! from this rale that Mr. Landers was legally | j appointed receiver of the Indiana Banking j Company, and had never been removed, ail | process looking to the substitution of Dr. | Rutter being void under the statute. The I opintion as above was supported by the citation of numerous authorities, indicating t hat i Judge Taylor had felt his way very carefully : and had only arrived at the conclusions ' reached after an exhaustive examination of all the points involved. The result, however, : was something of a surprise to Dr. Rutter’s attorneys, and they immediately gave notice | of a petition for rehearing, which was pre- I sented and overruled, together with a motion for a new trial. An appeal was then taken by the attorneys representing deposl- | tors. During the argument it developed that the points involved in Judge Taylor’s [ decision had never before been passed upon by any court in this State, and for this reason ; it raised a stir in the legal fraternity. Mr. ; Landers has resumed control, but there is I a feeling that the Court eventually will ap j point some new man to the opposition. Eat Honey. The editor of the American Bee I Journal closes an article on “Bees and | Honey in Ancient Times” with the following regarding honey for food.'and health: “Thousands and tens of thousands of children are dying all around us, who, j because their ever-developing nature demands sweetness, crave and eagerly demolish the adulterated ‘candies’ and ‘sirups’ of modern times. If these ! could be fed on honey instead, they would develop and grow up into healthy men and women. “Children would rather eat bread and honey than bread and butter; one I pound of honey will reach as far as two pounds of butter, and has, beside, the i advantage that it is far more healthy | J and pleasant tasted, and always remains good, while butter soon becomes rancid, i and often produces cramps in the stom- | acb,eructation, sournesss, vomiting, and ; diarrhea. Pure honey should always be freely used in every family. Honey eaten upon wheat bread is very beneficial to health. “The use of honey instead of sugar ■ for almost every kind of cooking is as i pleasant for the palate as it is healthy , j for the stomach. In preparing black--1 berry, raspberry or strawberry short- | ■ ! cake, it is infinitely superior. • i “It is a common expression that i 1 ! honey is a luxury, having nothing to do ‘ ■ with the life-giving principle. This is i l an error—honey is food in one of its | i i most concentrated forms. True, it ; k I does not add so much to the growth of 1 , 1 muscle as does beef-steak, but it does 1 I i impart other properties, no less neces- ’ j sarv to health and vigorous physical , : and intellectual action. It gives warmth . i to the system, arouses nervous energy, | , i and gives vigor to all the vital functions. I ITo the laborer it gives strength, to the I I business man, mental force.

NUMBER 24,

A TIGER LOOSE. An Exciting Episode in a T.ion-Tamer’a Career. [Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.] Stoppin’ at the circus the other night, and lookin’ at the beasts in the show, I couldn't help wonderin’ whether, in case of a “wild beast scare,” such as they once had at the old Bowery Theater, they could clear the place as quickly as they did then. They were performin' apiece called ‘‘Mungo Park,” and the sensational feature of the melodrama was a lot of trained lions and tigers, which, under the control of the famous wild-beast trainer, Herr Driesbach took a part in the show. Among the trained tigers was a large and beautiful one, which had, from its immense size, l>een nicknamed “the baby,” and was a great favorite, especially with the ladies, and who seemed to be milder and tamer than the other tigers and lions—as became a “baby.“

There were ballet girls in the piece as well as wild beasts, and among the ballet girls was a very pretty little blonde, almost a child, who had acquired the pet name of “the mouse. She was the daughter of one of the fiddlers in the orchestra, a big, burly sort of a man, a German, who was very fond of only three things in the world —his fiddle, his little girl and his beer—and who always sat stock still. Nothing ever seemed to move liim or to make him move. The boys in the pit used to call him “the mountain,” and held it as an article of their creed that you could as soon move a mountain as stir him. Well, one Saturday night there was a big house, and the piece passed off well till it came to the time for the tame lions and tigers to perform. “The baby” seemed to be very much out of humor. Probably it had the dyspepsia, or felt like eatin’ a man or somethin’. Any way, “baby” was mad and wouldn’t perform, and then Driesbach got his mad up, too. He wasn’t goin’ to let a “baby” get ahead of him, and no he stirred up the huge “infant" with whip and pole, and finally, findin’ all other means fail, went into the den himself, and poked “baby” lively with an iron rod. This style of Winslow's soothing sirup didn’t work, and the tiger made a spring at Herr Driesbach, who met the attack with a bar of iron, which made “the baby” howl. But Driesbach, in his haste, had forgotten to close the door of the cage after him when he went in, and the tiger, seein’ the door open, rushed out and was free. The immense brute found himself at liberty right in the center of the stage, which was just then tilled with soldiers, ballet-girls and actors. But it wassn't filled long. Soldiers, ballet-girls and actors scattered right and left. They stood not on the order of their goin’, but they went at once. No stage was ever cleared so quick liefore or since. And the only cool one of the balletgirls was the smallest one of the lot, the one they called “the mouse.” She neither shrieked nor straggled like the rest, but, lookin' at the tiger, even admirin’ him for a moment, walked, though rapidly, away. Not so the fat fiddler in the orchestra, her father. For “a moment” he was in the state of tire very liveliest eruption. He never even stopped to think of his fiddle or his daugter, but dashed like lightning under the stage. Bv this time there was nobody on th® stage but the tiger, who was dazed, and the beast-tamer, who had all his wits about him and appreciated the terrible situation. The tiger and the tamer eyed each other for a moment, and then, with a low growl, the tiger slunk away from the tamer and approached the foot-lights as if he were about to spring into the pit. This was enough. The “pit”—as was then called that portion of the house now known as the parquette —was : cleared as if by magic. There was only : one entrance to and exit from the pit, by a long narrow, windin’ lane or aisle, but along that aisle the crowd rushed —or, rather, was borne along by its I own weight. Meanwhile Herr Driesbach had seized hold of a torch used in the spectacle, i and had scared the tiger with it, and had, as it were, burned him back into his cage, which bein’ then securely locked, the beast was at his mercy, and ( got from Herr Driesbach such a beatin’ as would quicken his memory for many | a day. Pretty soon the news got out into the street that the l>east had been securd, ■ and then the rush in was almost as wild and frantic as had been the rush out. In fact, the crowd suffered more squeezin’ and bruzin’ to get back into the theater than it did to get out.

Legal Intelligence. Not long since an Austin lawyer was appointed by the District Judge to examine a candidate for admission to the bar. The young man was rather deficient in Blackstone and Greenleaf. It looked very much as though he lacked the requisite preparation. "Do yon know what fraud is, in the judicial sense of the word?” inquired the examining attorney. “I don’t—l hardly think I do,” was the stammering reply. "Well, fraud exists when a man takes advantage of his superior knowledge to injure an ignorant person.” "So that's it, is it? Then if you take advantage of your superior knowledge of law to ask me questions I can't answer. owing to my ignorance, and. in consequence thereby, I am refused a license, I will be injured and you will be guilty of fraud. Won’t you, Judge?” The lawyer was very thoughtful for a few moments and then added, reflectively : “My young friend. I perceive you have great natural qualifications for the bar. and I shall recommend that a large, handsomely-engrossed and richlyengraved license be granted you, in spite of your ignorance.”'— Texnx SiftlU'JS.
