TSRRE HAUTE, INDIANA.

Friday Mottling, Ang. 18. 1871.

vnf$30j Tbrtitrlng Conrlcts. A correspondent of aNew York jour tial gives an account of atrocities that prevail in the State prison at Sing Sing, which would do credit lo the government of the Fejee Islands or the worst tribe Hr Africa. They area disgrace of the "deepest kind to any civilized State, to say

Whing of a professedly Christian civilisation. There is the usual fraud the management of the finances that charac "terizes Tammany everywhere, but this is a small matter compared with the treatment of the prisoners. The reporter was '^refused admission to the punishmentjoom, but obtained accounts of two systems of torture that the inventive genius of the old Inquisition might have been proud of. The worst of these, if one can be worse than the other, is'"the trapeze," and is thus described: "It consists of two thin tarred ropes run over a pulley—a harmless^looking contrivance, yet it never fails to drive the color from the face of a convict who expects to feel its power. The ends of these ropes are fastened to the thumb? of the convict who is to be punished* noTlien one pull by the convict torturer, and the victim is lifted off his feet. As the man dangles in midair, his "entire ^weight depending on hK thumbs, hi? suffering* are really horrible. The most excrutiating pains are felt in every part of his body, and every fibre quivers with keenest agony. The tendons of the arm« are stietched to their fullest length, and seem like red hot wires in the man's ilesh. Elbow-joints and shoulder...Jilades snap as if ready to separate, and the thumbs, swollen and black with compressed blood, often actually split open. At this point the miserable wretch, filled with terror, happily sinks into inscnsibilitv. "When released he is generally unable to walk by reason of temporary paralysis." While undergoing this torture the sufferers are often struck and kicked by the worse than brutes who inflict it. The second instrument of torture is "the bed of roses."

This is a dark cell, seven feet long, three and a half wide, and six feet high, with a solid iron door, stopping all ventilation. A woodefl flooring covers the

cejl

bottom. Upon this frame are fasten ed half spheres of hard wood, about tlio size of billiard balls cut in halves. These are secured tightly, with the rounded surface turned upward. The prisoner to be punished is forced upon the "bed"after he has been deprived of his coat, shoes and stockings and during his confinement here he finds no rest possible or a position of ease. The hard knobs pre& into his fitesh and fill his body with a thousand pangs. Every motion increases his tortures. When he leaves his dungeon it is with blinded vision and unsteady gait, with limbs bruised and body lame and sore throughout. And yet men have been confined in these cells for one, two and three weeks.

Hydrophobia.

,?v A correspondent writes to the Chicago "Republican" from Oswego, 111., upon the subject of the canine madness and its probable causes. He holds, and the "Re publican" thinks, with reason, that the glandular disease which we call hydro' phobia is not natural to dogs: that it is the effect of some cause through which the laws of nature are violated and as» signs as such cause the practice of de» troying the females of the canine race, in consequence of which the healthy indulgence of sexual desire in the males is prevented, resulting in the absorption of the seminal fluids into the system, producing inflammation and finally disease.

This, the editor correctly states, is the theory which obtains with those few physiologists who have given any attention to thfe subject, and of its correctness we see no reason to entertain a doubt. In those countries—Africa, Turkey, Siberia—in which the destruction of the females is not practiced, there is no hydrophobia neither is there any among those races ol wild animals from which the domestic Jog ia supposed to have descended. In the United States, so far as this correspondent has been able to obtain statistical information, the proportion of female to males in the dog population is as one to eighteen. It is one thing, however, in •awch A case, to find out the cause, and another to constrain mankind to adopt the proper remedy—a thing which, the "Republican" fears, even the awful effects of hydrophobia will not produce.

THIS New York "Tribune" is moved to say: "A man at this late day who in this country refuses his political confidence to a Roman Catholic, simply because he is such, would have assisted at the roasting of JOHN ROGERS with a cheerful heart and ready hand." To this overheated organ, the Cincinnati "Times and Chronicle" replies, "in its own words to the "Times" in regard to the Tammany thieves, 'Keep cool.' We do not believe in proscribing a man merely on account of -his religious opinions but there are some honest people who really think it unsafe to entrust political power in Ro man Catholic hands, and they, too, have aright to their opinions and to a ballot accordingly, without incurring such slanderous vituperation."

THE total assessed value of tjie shares in the banks of Chicago is $7,311,600. This, atone and a half per cent., which is the rate charged, makes the sum of $109,674, from the payment of which, uqder the decision of Judge BLODGET, the banks are excused.

THE California election occurs on the 5th of September. The indications are that it will be very close. mm

THB exciting exigencies of New York lLf« bave forced a paper there into the coinage of a new word, "carhomicidomania," which means the mania for com mitting murder on passenger cars.

JOSH BILLINGS has issued a supplement to his famous essay on the mule. Here it ia in full: "The mewl is a larger burd than the guse or turkey it has tu legs to walk with and tu more to kick with, and it wares its wings on the side of its head."

Ifarrrow Gange Fallacies. A number of our readers have called our attention to the following article, which recently appeared in the Cincinnati "Gazette*"—and expressed a wish for publication in the EXPRESS, We cheerfully comply, believing that free discussion of all important public matters Is, conducive to the public good. Our belief in the practicability of narrow gauge railways is not shaken by what the "Gozcttc" has offered thereon:

There are so many merits and economies in favor of narrow gauge railwayssay three feet and under—which a common knowledge of mechanical principles shows to be untrue, that the whole narrow gauge theory ia gaining the character of an imposture. For example, there are estimates of the saving in original cost by reducing the weight of the rails and the engines and cars. This is merely a reversal of railroad progress, whiqh has gone through these stages, and has found it economical to increase the weight of rails and the power and capacity of engines and cars. The same kind of saving is just as practicable on the ordinary gauge, but practical railroad men can not be drawn into that countermarch of railroad progress. The greatest hindrance'to railroad economy in this country is the mistaken system which makes iron dear, and prevents railway companies frdm laying a heavier rail.

Another fallacious reason put forth is tbe saving in the relative cost and weight of cars, by reducing their size. But every mechanic knows that the proportion of cost and weight to capacity is greater in a small than a large car, other things being equal, The reasoning is the same as if they were to say that a room to bold ten people can be built at a less cost per head than one to hold twenty or a boat to carry 100 tons at a less cost per ton than one to carry 200 tons. Every me chanic knows that a car to carry ten tons or sixty persons will have less dead weight per ton and per head than one to carry five tons or thirty passengers. All the pretended calculations of saving in this line are an imposture.

And in the matter of reducing the friction of the side thrust by narrowing the gauge, nothing is gained if the car is^ reduced in length in the same proportion. The trueness of running is gained by increasing the proportion of length to width. But the passenger cars for the tracks of three feet are much shorter in proportion to width than those on the Ordinary gauge. There, instead of diminishing this friction of the side thrust or wabbling, these small cars will make it relatively greater.

As a specimen of the fallacies Dut forth to promote the trade connected wjth the narrow gauge projects, we take from Frank Leslie's paper the following description of some passenger care made at Phi ladelpnia for the Denver & Rio Grande railway

The Denver Bio Grande cars arc each three feet uee. 35 feet in length. seven feet in width, and 10% feet in height. The eair weighs 15.000 lbs.tiand carries 31 passengeri, or 411 pounds ot car per jiassenger in the broad gauge cars (4 feet 8J4 inches wide), carrying t4 passengers, the common weight of cars is 39,000 pounds, or 722 pounds" of.car per passenger. This shows the great saving in

pulling weight behind the engine scoured by the new system, without sacrificing the safety or well-being of the passengers The center of gravity has been kept so low in designing these carriages, that there is less danger of upseUing than with the bread'gauge car.

All this statement of thesaving in dead weight per passenger is a fallacy. It is done either at the sacrifice of strength or space and comfort, or by some improve ment that will apply as well to cars of the usual width. The center of gravity can be kept as low on the Usual width as on the narrow gauge. If it is lowered by reducing the size of wheels, it is gained at a great increase of cost of traction And this car of 35 feet in length, and 3 feet track, is much inferior in the propor tions for true running than a car of four feet 8J inch track, and 60 to 80 feet in length.

In these small cars the~benches are made for two persons each, as in the wide cars, but, as there is not room for them in ranks across the car in the usual way, they are placed alternately on each side, so that the aisle winds through from side to side, around the ends of the alternate seats, in a most awkward and uncomfortable manner, and which must be a great waste of space.

If there is 110 saving in the proportion of length of car to width of gauge, and no saving in the relative amount of dead weight to carrying capacity, there can be no saving in the relative cost of traction, and therefore nothing gmoied to compectaie for steeper grades or shorter curves, Theconclufion is that the only merit of these three-feet and two-feet railways ia that a small road, to do a small busincss, can be built for a smaller sum than a large road to do a large business that a small car to carry a small load, can be drawn by a smaller engine than a large car to carry a large load: These are no new discoveries in railwaying for it has passed through this small stage. It will not be likely to take the back track and adopt a rule which is contrarv to all business experience, namely, that a small business can be done at a relatively less cost than a large one. And this is about all there is of this two and three feet railway gauge theory?*"

The Suez Canal Enterprise. Since the completion of the Suez Canal and the subsidence of the fanfare with which its opening was accompanied, the enterprise lias measurably passed out of the ken of news-gatherers and journalists. But the publication of M. de Lesseps's re port revives public interest in the great work, giving as it does much needed detail relative to the condition and prospects of the scheme. He assures his associates that the canal is now twenty seven feet deep throughout, and that, after eighteen months' ..constant use, the banks have suffered no perceptible abrasion by the water, nor the depth been materially lessened by shifting sands. During the past year there have ised through the canal the Nestor, drawing twenty-two feet and three inches, the Jumna of three thousand tuns burden, and the Arizona, over seventy feet wide, proving that as regards depth, uni formitv of current and width, the new maratime highway aflbrds ample facilities for extensive traffic. Among other incidents of the past year's experience, the President reports that so many as fourteen vessels passed through the canal in one day that several distributing points for Indian products have formed, and that Port Said is advancing in such importance as a maritime port as seriously to threaten the commercial preeminence of Alexandria.

The financial condition of the enterprise is rather gloomy, but does not justify the current repoits that it is bankrupt, and about to fail easily under the control of British capitalists. The past year, de Lesseps points out, may be considered as exceptional. Europe, during its last half, was partially involved in war, and the commercial world was not fully prepared to avail itself of the advantages offered by the Canal- Despite the drawbacks, eight hundred and thirteen ships, measaring altogether 745.837 tuns, with 46,374 passengers, passed through the Canal during the eighteen months and a half which elapsed between the completion of the Canal and the 31st of May last. This is, however, very far from the traffic that may be reasonably expected hereafter, and accordingly M- de Lesseps anticipates that the receipts will increase nearly 50 per cent, next year. The balance sheet shows that the company had $4,167,200 on hand at the commencement of last year, and received $1,280,000 during the ensuing twelve months. But the expenses, including the interest on mortgage bonds, and outgoes which may fairly be charged to the construction account,

Were $6,600,000, making a deficit of $1, 151,800, that, added to the deficiency which also muat be expected this year, will make the Company at its close $2,900,opo in debt -on current demands. This'atfrerse balance M. de Lesseps propa*ej*to *vereedte by contracting a loan for £4000,000,/n the expectation that in 1873-mn4 'Jienceforth the Canal will yield anfficlentJ-diroBtS to meet all its current liabilitid|i When it is decided to negotiate tinsloan it is probable that the French people will readily subscribe the lull amount, and thus maintain unimpaired the preponderance which" France has so far had io the enterprise. It is gratifying, on the- whole,' that tKe finances are no worse than the preceding figures"~^raoh(SfateTfeThe permaiwSR1 failure of |he Suez Canal scheme to yield reasonable income would discourage capitalists from engaging in similar scheme* of world-wide beneficent influence, and would deprive (deserving and liberalminded men oftheir just reward —N.: Y.

HOME'S LEYITATIONS.

Mr. Home's Latest Achievements— V" Midair Suspensions.' »Ot H:,-U.

Lord LINDSAY eends tlie ibllowihg extraordinary story to the "SpiritualitaV I On the evening of: the 11th of July: I was showing some experiments in my la' boratory to. Lord Ada re, Mr. Bergheim, Mr. Home and. my brother-in-law. It occurred to me to try if Home wae able to see a magnet in the dark This is an experiment which: I believe wasmade by Reichenbach, and although,,like myself, he was never able to distinguish the light, yet he found a number of persons who did see it under test conditions. I asked Mr. Home, and he expressed himself willing to try this experiment. I then took intooneiof my rooms, which was totally dark, a large permanent magnet,, and having removed the armature, I placed it on the floor near the wall, at a considerable distance from the door. Mr. Home was then brought into the room, and remained standing near the door for some moments. He then said that he saw some sort of light on thejfloqr in, a corner of tile room, and immediately said to me: "Give me your hapdand I will show you exactly where I see it." He then led me straight across the room, and without the least hesitation stooped down and placed my hand upon the mag! net. I have been trying for over tlvo years to get a satisfactory result in, this experiment, but hitherto with only doffbt•fol success. The instrument-used was1 a large compund magnet, capable of Suatainirig a Weight 6f SO pounds., I may mention thai'" onanother

11 !oc6asi6n

I was sitting with Mr. Hooie aiid Lord' Adare, and a cousin of his During the sitting Mr, Home went into a' trance,-and in that state was carried out of tke window in the next room to where we Wert, aiid was brodght in''al our window. The distance between the windows was about seven feet six inches] and there was not the slightest foothold between them rior was there more than a twelve-inch projection to each window^ which served as, a ledge to put flowers on. We heard the window in the next room lifted tip,, and almost immediately after we saw Home floating in the air outside our window, The moon' was shining full irito the room my back was to the light and I saw',the shadow on the wall of the will Jpw sill, and Home's feet about six ihches above it, He remained in this position for a few seconds, then raised the window and glided into the room feet foremost and sat down. Lord Adare then went into the next room to look: at the windojw from which hie had been camed il was raised about eighteen iiushes, and he.expressed his Wonder how ,Mr» Home had been taken through so narrow an aperture. Home said (still in trance), "I will show you and th'en, with his back to the window, he leaned back, and was shot out of the aperture head first, with his body rigid, and then returned quite quietly. Tlie window is about seventy" feet from the ground, very much doubt whether any skillful tight rope dancer would like to attempt a feat of this descriptibn, where the only means of crossing would be by a perilous leap, or being borne across in such manner as I have described, placing the question of the light aside. ,u,v 4^ &» I

English Royalty in Ireland. The recent Juisco in Dublin is about the most significant intimation that royalty has received—British royalty, we mean— for'many years, In one of Samuel Foote's farces a plain-spoken character is made to say, ''1 gave him a hint to take him self off.'/ Some other person says, "What sort of a hint was it?" and the reply was. "Why, I kicked hiin out of the house, and then slapped the door in his face." Something a|cin to this active and efficient "hint" was received by the royal visitors lo Dublin, this week. The arrival, the row, the retreat—all within one little week. The manager, whoever he was, has been inefficient. Royalty ought never have been sent to Ireland to win the affections of an excitable people, who love and hate with equal eagerness without some power to confer favors on the occasion. It is well known that the Irish have on.e object close to. heart, namely the liberation of a knot of politi cal prisoners whose great ofiepcewas that they "loved Ireland, not wisely, but too well." For the most part these unhappy men—for unhappy they must be "To whom the goodly earth and air

Are banned and barred, forbidden fare."— are not very dangerous characters. The really able men whgm the British government htvL and jias, to dread, are now in America* ®ble, ardent, patriotic, elo quent, and impassioned, the liberated Fenian convicts (who, with a littleness of mind most unworthy of Mr. Gladstone's character and talents, were sent to with a prohibition against ever again set ting foot on their native soil), are the mast formidable enemies that British misrule has now to dread. They are double martyrs—first as convicts vilely maltreated in prison, and next as doomed, notwithstanding the nomirial clemency of the British government, to perpetual ex iie from their native land.

Among thecliarming but rather fanciful State aphorisms of European rule is the assertion that punishment is awarded by the Law, ana ctenicney by the Sovereign. Accordingly, wljeri the Prince of Wales, with his brothel1 and sister, were sent across St. George's Channel to out-blar ney the Irish—to draw the wotil over Paddy's eyes—the politic thing Would have beeif to piit.into the Prince's" pttcket not merely a handsome sum for expenses, but a few hlank pardons signed by "Victoria and stamped with the royal-seal. Had this been done—had the Prince, when solicited by the Amnesty Committee to solicit the pardon of the remaining imprisoned Fenians, beep able to say "Here is the pardon,"—that would have excited the gratitude of Ireland to an incalculable extent— For feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour A thousand melodies unheard before.

The Prince of Wates 'brusquely said, "Ican't meddle in this matter the law must take its course," and turned on his heel. The Princess Louisa, his sister, made a like reply, and, as a consequence, the royal mission failed. The Princess and her brothers passed through Dublin, after that, in solemn silence, and the next thing was the Amnesty meeting in Phoenix Park, within three hundred yards of the royal drawing-room, which, but for the "interference of the police, would have been simple speechifying, and a parting "Three Cheers for Old Ireland, and tbe Green above the Bed." With the smallest possible delay the royal party took'Hhe hint abandoned the lilea of visiting Killarney, and, in the centre of a formidable phalanx of police and soldiers, hastened to Kingstown "formerly,

(Dunleary)j and did hot think thttnselfto quite safe until'they were "half seas over," betwe# Kingstown and head*

It i« very probable that this furao will end tlie plan of sending Prince Arthur to grass on Irish soil for certain of each year. Js said that the ide% was either to get ParliaflkeHt to vol® $1,000,000 for the purpose of buying an Irish estate and palace for this young State pauper, or of appropriating the whole of the Crown rents in Ireland, estii mated at $225,000 a year, as particnlar revenue for this youth, whose only personal clain, fit the agcof twenty op?,,»is that ohia Artliur-Bifricfcs Thefe must* the rulinj
