SAMUEL C. PUEHTON. Surveyor GEORGE W. HARRIS.

A Cincinnati Coroner has' refused a $20 bribe to tel3 a little lie about some crooked milk. Coroners come high in Cincinnati.

Things must be getting rather lonesome over in Alexandria. We have heard what the N. Y. Herald correspondent had for breakfast.

"(It is now leaking out that it was not Admiral Nicholson who cautioned the foreign Towers against firing on tlie American Navy at Alexandria. It seems to haye been Lieutenant Dfcnny, of Indianapolis, who is in charge of the marines. The Dennys area fighting family, and people who undertake to tamper with their love of country make a great mistake.

Warrick county has nothing specially to complain of. «Suys the Boonville Standard:

Tho reports show the corn and wheat acreage for tills county to be, for all purposes, equal. Wo have 33,510 acres of fall wheat, and U.'i,ul-j acrcs of corn. A few of the other staples of the country run as

YuffJtU 'Kpii'rgsi.s^tf.a o' -rr acres of wheat have been harvested In-this county this year. It will nvcrugo, at tho lowest figures, 20 busliols per acre This will give for tho yield773,'J000 bushels Of course tho farmers have stopped talk lug about starving.

Twenty-five of the Irish Democrats of Indianapolis, one from each ward of the city, haye published a carefully prepared statement, with all their names attached, in regard to the late .Democratic Convention of Marion cgunty. They say: "There is credible evidence, and it is to be rettretted, that nominations were bought with money."

Oae of the nominations complained of is that of a nephew of ex-Governor Hendricks, who is represented as greatly inferior in point of qualifications to his competitor in the convention. This fact makes the positive charge of corruption, made 1 responsible Democrats a matter of more than ordinary seriousness, and we shall await future developments in regard to it with no littlo anxiety. With the load ''questiorilfe to who shall fill the offices of Marion county, we have nothing to do. But every voter in the State is intercsted in knowing what the truth is iin reference to an accusation which a respectable portion of the Democratic party has thus traced to the household -"'of one of its great leaders.

ANew York letter to the Philadelphia Record says that one of the mysteries of Brooklyn and New York is ni u?tre7 in vhiclx^Heiiry Ward ij.Beecher manages to get^iSiivof his hrioney. Ten years ago his incite^

Efrom pulpit, editorial, professional and {lecturing sources was full $(0,000 a year, and yet lie did not save a penny apparently. It could not be discovered that he gave a dollar in charity at any time, and he always exacted tlie uttermost farthing for lecturing, while his one highway of expenditure was his

Peekskill farm. But even prize pump-

kins could not account for the leakages, and it remains a mystery to this day. Just now talk on this'subject is renewed in an unpleasant way. Two year* jiao Thomas J. Turner, foreman on the Peekskill-farm, died and made a wili .devising certain property to his relatives, and among it a note to 31 r.

Beecher for several thousand dollars. It has appeared in testimony before) the Surrogate that Mrs. Beecher sorted ... .over his papers after his death and de-' stroyed some of them. She says that she only made way with letters from the Beechers, and that she saw no note or any evidence of indebtedness.

Beecher, when placed on the stand, acted the part of "Harold Skimpole" to perfection, poising his head on one side, laughing and asserting that he knew no more than a babe unborn about money matters—that hi/, may have owed Turner, or the revers and that it was useless to talk to hi

Turner's books ind?

cate'that Beecher owed him $4,000, but' the Surrogate cannot get any of the family to attend a conference, and he remarked in court this week that he felt "like signing a paper that would send the-whole family to jail." Wherever it has gone Beecher has certainly managed to get away with more than a million since his residence in Brooklyn, and uncharitable people are making some queer criticisms on the Tur"•pS. business-: There is nothing of the inBeecher,and this trait he holds in eommonwith other clergymen.''',?*-

ARABI PASHA THREATENING A HOLY WAE. Since the bombardment of Alexandria the Governor of that city has visited Cairo, and upon his return has reported to the Khedive that he saw Europeans massacred and their houses pillaged at. several places—that the heads of the -Berberins were cut off because they served the Christians— that the complaint against the Khedive was that he had sold Egypt to the English—that a conference had been held to consider the propriety of inaugurating a "holy war," and that moderate counsels had prevailed only with a view to further inquiry. Arabi Pasha is represented as having procured tools with which he will be able to throw up fortifications upon the line occupied by him and extending from Lake Marcotis to Aboukir, and as trying to establish relations with the Arabs in ffripoli and Southern Tunis.

Admiral Seymour has no forces with which he can advance into the interior and dislodge Arabi Pasha. He can do nothing beyond putting a stop to the pilliage in the city of Alexandria. He cannot take his iron-clads upon shore, and his big guns have already" done their work in battering down the Egyptian forts. An army of 20,000 men will be sent from England under the command of Lieut. Gen. Wolseley, but it will take some time to fit out and transport so large a body ot troops. What may occur in the mean time it is not easy to anticipate, especially as the great powers are still hesitating.

The threat of a holy war serves to kindle in the mind a recollection of the great and bloody conflict between the soldiers of the Cross and Crescent, —the conquest of Syria, Persia and Egypt by tlie Saracens—the infatuatien and superstition of the Crusades, and the events which led to the subjugation of important portions of Asia, Europe and Africa, by the Arabs under Mahomet and his successors. There is no evidence that the Arab nation has undergone any material change since those times, but, on the contrary, it is probably true that the Bedouin of to-day is influenced by the same motives and stimulated by the same hopes as were his progenitors who assisted Mahomet, Abubeker, Omar, Otliman, Ali and their successors, to propogate their religious faith with the sword. Now as then he follows the teachings of "the prophet," as set forth in the Koran, and upon turning to that record, which .lie considers inspired, he finds himself commanded to fight for his religion, to treat all its opponents as enemies, because God will leward him for their destruction by anew life of perpetual pleasures. Call this by whatever name you please—whether madness, folly, or superstitious infatuation—it is nevertheless, a fact that the Arab holds himself in constant readiness to obvy the commands of the Koran, even to the extent of slaying men, v.-omcn and children, burning houses, sacking cities, did scattering desolation all around him. This is tlie dangerous power which Arat.i I'aslia has bohimUrim, and if he can succeed in making his. Aral' followers believe that he represents their religion, and that the English are seeking, by the conquest of Egypt, to destroy it, a war for the total extermination of the •1""—*

sagacity

J]uman" being with

enough to forecast the result. The whole population of Egypt proper does not exceed o,000,000. The Arab Fellars and the Bedoin Arabs constitute the bulk of it,-and next to these the Copts and Turks are the most numerous. The Franks, or European Christians, do not exceed a few thou sand, and are confined mostly to the cities immediately upon the Mediterranean. The Arabian Greeks, the Jews, the Syrians, and the Armenians, may probably reach 100,000 in all There area few Ethiopians and fewer Mamelukes, the latter having been expelled during the reign of Mohammed Ali, near the beginning of the present century. If Arabi Pasha should succeed in uniting all the Mahometan part of this population against England, and should be able to maintain independence of the Khedive, almost tlie lirst fruits of a holy war would be the extermination of the mere handful of Christians. This would so incense England that a military conquest of the whole country would be the inevitable result. The conquered country would be left, however, by the fugitive inhabitants, in a desolate condition, for the Arabs would not be willing to leave anything belonging to them to fall into the hands of the enemies of their religion, whom they consider infidels. And otli^rserious com plications might arise. The Turks are also Mahometans, and, in the event of religious war, the Sultan might find it difficult to stimulate his subjects to the point of trying to hold Egypt for the benefit of England, inasmuch as that would be violative of the plain teachings of the Koran, by subjectin the faithful to the alien dominion of Christians. The present relations between Turkey and Egypt are more shadowy than real.

Tlie Khedive is scarcely a sovereign in the Oriental sense, but rather a viceroy, nominally tributary to the Porte. Therefore it is, in all probability, that the Sultan has hesitated about sending Turkish troops to maintain the authority of the Khedive. And if 'that authority had to be wielded, during the progress of a holy war, for the benefit of English Christians, he would, in all probability, find the difficulties of his position greatly increased. There are immense hordes of Mahometans throughout the plains of Asia, ready to pres--down upon the Mediterranean whensoever the propagation oi their religion shall demand it. If Turkey should take the side of the Chris ians. these warlike tribes might eize upon Constantinople and drive the Sultan from power. This would necessarily cause the interference of the great powers of Europe and a general war would be inaugurated. Whatsoever else should result from such a war, it would drench portions of three continents in blood.

It will not do to suppose that Arabi Pasha is not conscious of all these possible results, and that he is not calculating upon them. Consequently his effort to create an alliance with Tripoli and Tunis iB to be considered as displaying the sagacity of the politician. If he shall succeed in this, then it is certain that the end may be further otf than now seems. Therefore England has no time to lose in getting her army to Egypt, and in so striking her blows upon land as to make

them equally

effective with those by which she re-

'%, f^PT'V?

duced the forts of Alexandria. If a holy war should be proclaimed, this is the best way to. end it—that is, to crush it out before its influence shall extend beyond the African continent.

THE BUEHETT CASE.

Of late the Gazette has

been

devoting

considerable attention to the Chief of the Fire Department. That is not strange. He never was popular with that paper. During the city campaign preceeding theelectionhis name was freelyusedby the Democrats as the coming man for the position he now occupies, in the hope that il would weaken the Republican candidates. Since his appointment he has several times been the subject of attack—not because he neglected his duty or was incompetent however. The last charge brought against him was that of drunkenness about a week ago. Formal charges were preferred against him by the city editor of the Gazette and a time was set for trial. The witnesses were notified to be present, and at the time appointed the members of the committee were present to hear whatever testimony was to be offered. Mr. Ball, who preferred the charges, was present and conducted the prosecutipn. He wanted to testify as to .what others had told him concerning the case, something before unheard of, and which was ruled out by the committee.

Plenty of timp was given to secure the attendance of witnesses, and it certainly seems very much out of place to come in after the case has been heard and complain of inability to compel their attendance. That the committee cannot compel the attendance of witnesses, or swear them when they are present is to be regretted, but the committee is in no way to blame for that. It did not frame the laws which govern its action, consequently it is not responsible for them. .The 'Exr press does not wish to be understood as an apologist for or defender xf any incompetent officer. If the Chief of the Fire Department is guilty, as charged, he should be dismissed, but no man, no matter how guilty, should be condemned without a fair and impartial trial, and that could not be had on the say-so of every Tom, Dick or Harry who chose to express himself privately, but who has not the courage to come forward and face the accused with a sworn statement of what he knows.

If the result of Friday's investigation is not satisfactory there is another resort. An affidavit before a Magistrate, or an information or indictment in the Criminal Court, charging Burnett with drunkenness, will bring out all the witnesses in the case. A subpa3na from eitlier of these courts will compel an attendance, and once there each witness will be com pelled to tell all he knows concerning the case. If this course is pursued all the facts in the case will be elicited and the fire committee would doubtless be governed by the verdict. The proposition that the committee should go around searching for evidence concerning the conduct of any of its employes is preposterous, and cannot be considered for an in stant. To inaugurate, such course v,-ould be the signal for eac member to retire from business

Twenty-five Democrats, representing the Irish club of several hundred, in all the wards of Indianapolis, cut loose from the "bosses'' because money was used corruptly to buy nominations mnde'by the Detnccritic county convention. Where did the money com: from? Who got it? A list of the names would be mighty good reading.

•Heavy on Sutlers.

The first Napoleon had an amazing memory for figures. He remembered the respective produce of all taxes through every year of his administration, and could repeat them even to the centimes. Running "over an account of expenditures, he noted the rations of a battalion charged on a certain day at Besancon.

That battalion was not there," said he. The Minister, knowing that the Emperor had been out of France at the time, submitted that he thought It must have been there. It turned oat that Napoleon was right, and that» fraud had feeen oommlt-

ted. The peculator was dismissed, and the anedote went through the army, inspiring a wholesome al*rm.

British Bnm.

The whole number of punishments inflicted on English soldiers for drunkenness during the past year was 43,058. These penalties were adjudged by court martials and by commanding officers. The number of men represented in the list of punishments was 23^56. This statement shows an Improvement over the average for the past ten years, but tlieoffences exceeded those of tho previous year. The home establishment is composed of 133^10 men of all rank. Excluding commissioned and non-commissioned officers, 100,000 men are left, so that nearly 23 per cent, of the men were guilty of drunkenness. To "those, however, who know the workings of the British army, the evil is not so bad as it seems. The monotony of garrison life has much to do with the prevalence of drunkenness, which disappears on active service, and so far the medical statistics do not indicate that the drunkenness is an unmitigated evil, or specially hurtful.

In Paris there are a thousand regular buyers of the costliest Illustrated and valuable works. There are 4,000 buyers of all first-class books published.

It is stated that" no formal Injunction was served against James R. Osgood Co., of Boston, for republishing Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." An oral complaint was made to the District Attorney of Suffolk county agofnst these writings, which he commtfnicated to the publishers, when they at once turned over the plates to the author, not wishing to have the matter go-before the Grand Jury.

Richard Watson Gilder, who succeeded Dr. Holland as editor of the Century, is a young man, not large with dark hair and eyes. He is a man of enthusiasms, bnt has a power of work in him and a scrupulous sense of equity in his dealings with, unknown contributors. He began as a newspaper reporter, and has pushed along by dint of tact and industry to a much coveted position." His last volume in verses was entitled, "A Poem in Songs and Sonnets."

A literary treasure of singular appositeness, says the London Athenteum, has Just turned up in the shape of a preface, written by Thackeray for the second edition of his "Irish Sketch Book," but suppressed by the publishers as being too outspoken. In it Thackeray strongly supports not merely the disestablishment of the Established church, which, he says, "will no more grow in Ireland than a palm tree In St. Paul's churchyard," but even the repeal of the union. The paper is said to be written la- Thackeray's most vivacious and most characteristic style, and will soon be published In the Century Magazln'e.

The Gentleman's Magazine: On January 1, 1567, Hans Sachs made an inventory of his poetical stock. The result, duly recorded In rhyme, is truly amazing.. Haifa century's uninterrupted verse-making had filled 31 folio volumes. .Sixteen of these consisted of "master-songs," to the number of 4,275, written in 37S different metres, of which 13 were original. The remaining 17 folios, and part of an eighteenth, were devoted to "Spruchgedlchte," that Is to say, poems that were not to be sung, but merely spoken or recited. Under this title all the dramatic productions are included. The several items are as follows: 208 comedies and tragedies, and 1,700 allegories,fables, and miscellaneous poems of every kind. To these must be further added 73songs, in various metres, of which the poet himself had Invented 16. He gives the grand total as 0,04$. But If we allow that, as doubtless was the case, he did not abandon verse-making at once, nor im mediately after having taken this lnven tory, and that the last nine years of his life produced a few occasional poems, the number given by Adam Puschman, name ly, 6,636, Is probably not exaggerated^

Special Correspondence of the Express. -NEW YORK, July 20, 1882.A Warm Topic.

I am not going to write anything ab.out the dreadful heat of last week, even though it did carry off in one day eighty of the little folk, who tried to live through it in the tenement-house district, and after a struggle against odds, gave up the fight and quietly passed away.-' There is nothing new about that warm topic that has not

But" tlie aays or ice and

"fnnimnnmffr snow are coining on again, and then the dwellers in these same tenement houses will look with* longing for another broiling July sun. Then will we see something of tlie work of the two companies who are now encouraging profanity by the way, they are tearing up the streets down town for the purpose of laying mains for the transmission of steam throughout the city, for heating and power. One of these companies has already expended, as the president informs me, more than million and a half of dollars, and will put hundreds of thousands more the work before a dollar of income comes in. From eight or nine central stations at convenient points, they are to send steam through the adjacent districts, to factories, stores, houses, apartments, etc., and it will be measured by meters and paid for by the foot, as gas is now. Manufacturers can dispense with boilers and engineers, with the attendant expense and the danger of explosions when the en gineer gets sleepy or careless. Builders will put in connecting pipes instead of furnaces and heaters. Dwel lings will be divested of ranges and their occupants of coal bills. Machin ery will be run by steam generated mile away houses will be heated and meals cooked by the same agency, and if the city so determines, the snow and ice, instead of being slowly carted off to be dumped in the river, will be rapidly melted by pipes laid along the gutters and curb-stones.

Something of the magnitude of the

reparations for this age of steam may judged from the station erected for steam generating in Greenwich street, where the chimney rises 220 feet high, and contains over one million bricks and seven hundred barrels of cement. It is 32 feet 6 inches by 13 feet at the bottom, and 31 feet 10 inches by 12 feet 4 inches at the top, and lacks onlv 10 feet of being as high as Bunker Hill Monument It will be one of the most prominent among the tall towers seen :rom .whatever point the city is ap proached. -•,-

Cooling off.

I admit, it is something of an aggravation, when the mercury is up in the nineties, to talk about heating up by steam, or any other process. Nature is doing something too much of that without any help from man. What we want just now, is away of cooling off, not warming up. Well, that is going to be done by machinery, too, and a ter a time, we shall turn on hot and cold air, as we now do water. A good deal of interest is being shown in the processes which are being tried for producing artificial cold. In England they have been working the thin down fine, mainly with the purpose reinforcing the domestic supply of fresh meat (so restricted as to keep the price of beef and mutton beyond the reach of the laborers) by the unlimited amount to be found in distant colonies, and especially Australia and New Zealand, How to get it to the mother country was the question and they have solved the problem so satisfactorily that meats #hich were raised, slaugntered and dressed thirteen thou sand miles away & sold in London shops in as good condition and for less price than the domestic article. It is brought all that long way, and across the tropical seas, in a frozen state, never once thawing from Melbourne to Southampton. The great merit of the system is that this result involves no ice, to give a damp and foggy air, nor chemicals, to. feive a deleterious flavor to the articlestransported. This

ing from the cattle-Euisiug'Wfcst the carcasses of befcf'ahd mutton, at an enormous saving of freightage and damage, and also for cooling our churcnes, theatres, breweries, manufactories, mines, etc. Then, no doubt, the system of cold-producing will be extended, until our houses will be so built, and the temperature so regulated, that it will be as simpleand ordinary a matter to cool off in summer its to warm up in winter. Thus will we revenge ourselves upon the foul fiend of the "ice wagon, whose wild yell now awakens us out of our morning nap, and who has learned the art of making a three-pound lump of ice count for ten pounds at the weekly settlement.

Lumber That Can't Barn. While upon the subject of buildings and their appliances^ another curious invention comes to iptnd. The towering edifices with which lower New York is becoming filled, must be absolutely fire proof, or they would prove to be death traps, because they were being raised far above the reach of even New York firemen, or fire apparatus. A day or two after so writing, I saw a sign of "Terra Cotta Lumber," and was curious to see what manner of thing-.it might be. Inquiring as to it of a leading arclii'e.:t, he was emphatic in iying that it was one of the most important applications of science yet made to common use. It is something lik-j fire brick, but so -.onstructed that while it is absolutely fire proof !n

Mile. Dosne has found*in Paris a port ^.tlie fiercest flames, it may be sawed, planed, grooved, turned witli a lathe, nailed, screwed, and generally treated as ordinary lumber may be. Entire houses, .with the exception of posts and beams (which naturally would be made of iron), are constructed of the new lumber, and would no more burn down than the cupola in an iron furnace. Of about one half the weight of ordinary brick, it will be especially applicable to the walls, partitions, etc, of high build-ings,-because the weight resting on the foundations and lower walls will be so much less than when bricks are used for this purpose, except for tensila strength, it has all the advantages of wood, with the inestimable advantage of being as incombustible as iron.

folio containing a nnmoer of notes In M. Thiers' handwriting, forming a history of his time. They include memoranda of conversations, Ideas that occurred to him, anecdotes, and sketches of celebrated men with whom he was personally acquainted. There are portraits of Louis Phillippe, Sir Robert Peel, Jacques Lafltte, Lord Normandy, and Louis Napoleon, written after the coup d'etat. Mile. Dosne recoils from publishing these notes, but tho literary executors of M. Thiers urge her to bring them out or to deposit them in a sealed packet at the National Library, with directions for them to be printed hereafter.

Perhaps in the year 1900, you or I may come across an old paper containing this letter, and may laugh at the interest felt at this time, in what may then be as far behind current improvements, as to be obsolete, but I don't concern myself with what may be the newest thing twenty years hence, and I welcome whatever comes to the front in 1882, which may promise to add to our comfort and our safety,

Starting a Corporation.

There is a sonorous ring about the words"Incorporated under the L-iws of tlie State of New York" as attached to the prospectus of a new company, which appeals to the public for stib scriptions. It sounds solid and safe, and as if all the wise old owls of the Legislsture had sounded and weighted and dissected the scheme, and set upon it the seal of their dignified approTal. This was the idea, but the faith and trust it implies has had some pre! hard hocks, by the experience of some of the confiding share-holders in tiie mining companies, which have been floated here by the thousand. And, bless your soul, when you come to sift the thing down, you are astonished to find how easy a matter it has been to become a body corporate un !er the laws of New York.

From 184S to 1875 it took

nuuitn'ui H1U.JL imurirtu'w'wia company for the first year. Having filed a copy of this certificate with the County Clerk, and another Math the Secretary of State, the three or five men were ready for business under such high-sounding name as they might choose to adopt. For less than a dollar the certificate could be filled, and, that being done, the law had been complied with. What wonder that corporations multiplied until there was hardly a hole in the mining Territories that was not represented among.the companies "organized under tlie laws of the State of New York?"

A law was passed last winter which imposed further duties upon those who desire to become a corporate body, and which increased the fees for certificates, filing, recording, etc., so that it now costs from $10 to $50 to become incorporated in this State, and this will tend to lessen the number of new and irresponsible companies.

The customs receipts for the first half of July were $9,300,000. My 'customed receipts are not quite so much.

The conductor of aLong Island railroad train dropped his watch last week, in such a manner, that the fire man shovelled it into the locomotive fire.

THE LIVER

When seriously diseased not only deranges the vital functions of the body, but exercises powerful lulluencc over the mind. The Intimate connection existing between the liver and the bralu, unci consequently the great intlucncc It exorcises over the passions of mankind would naturally lend us to conclude that many unfortunate beingsliavecomniltted criminal acts from the simple fact of a diseased state ot the liver. .tV

A Few of the Ways

diseased liver manifests itself are Indigestion, Dyspepsia, a deranged stateof tho Bowels, loss of Appetite, dull and heavy sensations ajter eating, pains in the side and back, (sometimes mistuken for rhcumatisn.) prickly sensation of the skin, low spirits anil a general feeling of weakness and debility, £c. Of course we don't infer that ail persons troubled with thefce symptoms are

CRANKS,

But many have had their entire course In life marred liy not taking earo of the only liver they possessed. It Is the opinion of many compettnt to Judge that a very large percentage of the diseases extant, at the present time originate from a diseased liver, and there Is nota prepaiation in tbo world that will act as quickly and cure au many dltlcrei-talllictions arising from the liver as

I can now, though (il years of age, do a fair and reasonable day's work."

R.
