WEDNIOÖDAY, SEPTEMBKB 5

Tibs the rascals out. The: Republican party must go. A man in I'eabodr, Mass., hn jast celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday by marrying his fourth wife. Feetty Eoon the Republicans will be taking an apparently deep and tender interest in the pcor laboring man. Jons C. New, last night, refased to affirm or deny a recent rumor that he proposed to resign his present situation. A osTKMPor.vKY reminds Mr. Arthur that "he ia fooling away a good deal of time in a country where the people have no votes for President." Governor Hexdrkks hu returned from Saratoga, and goes to Iowa on the CLh, U make eome speeches during the campaign, jle speaks first at Council Bingen the 11th. We wonder how much Dortey would take to undertake the job of saving Indiana next year to Republicanism. There are not hardly enough "crisp" $1 bills in the Treasury to save it another time. Doraeyism is played out. Tue cholera in J'eypt Las carried off about 127.COO people. Earthquakes, epidemic aal volcanic eruptions seem to have had pretty much their own way for the last monti. The devil seems to have been unusually "loose" lately. The Washington Tost thinks that the Ohio Republicans who are calliog for "an honest election and a fair count" are very disrespectful to the eminent citizen of Fremont who went into the White House wnen General Grant went out Ksgiaxd reports the finest apple crop that she has bad for years. The crop in this country bids fair to be unusually large also. "We may therefore hope for cheap apple throughout the coming winter. Last year they were very expensive The remedy for extravagance at Washing ton, according to a contemporary, is "to keep the Government poor." That is what tne Republican Star Route gang and other political bummers of the same general com1 leiion think. Turn the rascals out. The intelligence from Java, recently visited by terrible volcanic eruptions, continue? to be heartrending in its details. Probably K0.0C0 lives were lost. The horrible affiir to the inhabitants of the unlucky island must have seemed a veritable day of judgment. . Is there any way to get rid of New York Tammany and the Enquirer gang of Cincinnati.' If the democratic party owe them anythieg, let it give them a check and take a receipt in full before the campaign of 1834 begins. The Republican party and the United States Treasury are about all that we ought to fight at one time. The London milliners are ready to bnrt forth into indignation meetings and letters to the Times, on account cf an economical bonnet which the Princess of Wales recently wore at the fisheries exhibition. It was exceedingly plain, having very little trimming and at the same time was extremely becoming. The "Princess vets the London fashions. Ok the original Cabinet under "Old Back." Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interioi, is the only survivor, since the death of Judg .Black. Ot the original Lincoln Cabinet, Simon Cameron, Secretary of War, is the only survivor, since the death of Montgomery Blair. The death cf Judge Black leaves Judge Agile W the sole surviving ex Chief Justice ot Pennsylvania; Me. J. II. MacFadpi! , of Philadelphia, one of the largest cotton buyers in the country, is credited with the assertion that the cotton crop of 133 will turn out 7,ooo,ooo bales, which he considers 2.000,000 bales more than the world needs, and will, therefore, average the farmers about seven and -half cents, netting no more profit than .S.CGO.OOO bales would have done. A mimi:er of Parliament in injecting some temperance ideas with a recent speech mu-t have drawn upon his imagination somewhat when he taid : "I am proud to say that there as only one man in th famous charge at Tel-el-Kebir who was under the influence of drink, and he was promptly chloroformed by the doctor to prevent his making a noise and so marriDg the e fleet of the charge. With this one exception all those engaged in that charge went through it upon a ration of cold tea and without spirits at alL" The colored folks are learning very rapidly. Last week a colored school ma rm in Georg! laid rJjQ lashes on a boy's back to make him "lam" more quickly. lie wai carried home on a shutter, however, at the close -of the matinee. Another incident has come to oar knowledge showing that they take after their white brother very aptly. At an election of some kind in New York city twelve colored men participated. There were two candidates. Eighteen ballots were, however, found in the box at the final count Yes, the colored man keeps abreast of his white brother. On the afternoon of the 20th int. the President, Secretary of War, General Sheridan and several others left camp and visite I Hell's Half-Acre to see the celebrated Sheridan geyser. This celebrated geyser, among other strange things, is a great washtnb, and articles of clothing thrown into her crater .are immediately returned washed perfectly clean. While gazing upon the singular operation an indiscreet friend remarked to Chet" that the geyser "could probably rash Dorsey into purity, provided a little Arthur soap was thrown in." "Chet" emiled, and said "the lai.e 'jick-pot' had left him qciie bare of soap." The Nation a few dav.i since was seriously disturbed from foundation to apex by the announcement that Iroquois, Mr. Lorillard's great racer, had been beaten. The owner, whose ancestors were up to snuff, and who33 Illustrious mother made a millionaire fortune, because the .had to nicch capital to backer, at once put op f 5.000 to back Iroquois for another race, feeling confident that he would

in the etakes, and hence the following lament fremthe New York Tribune: Irtquni wts beaten again yesterday, and this fme co badly that every person who retains any dmiraiiun for the gallant animal, whoe name will be remembered as long as raciog holds its place m a popular s port, hopes that Mr. Lonllard will seud bim into retirement. It is anything but grstlfjfi.K to fee a hone tbat once occupied the rroudeM ptilon cn the turf coming in but In a ice which be was expected to win. Iroquois tbould Lever inn again in public until so thoroughly prepared that there will be no danger of luch a pitiful failure as that of yesterday. By all meaod cive the"gillant animal" a rest. Mr. Lorillard ought never to sneeze again until he sends the horse "that once occupied the proudest position on the turf into retirement." Indeed, Iroquois is better known throughout the civilizsd world than his owner. Mr. Lorillard was not known beyond his club room until Iroquois humped himself around an Enclish race treck a bead ahead of other nags. The moment tbat wa? done the Prince of Wales f-ought the acquaintance of his owner, and the Lorillard snuff was In demand in all the aristocratic circles of England. But Iroquoia has lost his lees and Mr. Lorillard source. And yet theieissome satisfaction in the reflection ' Let carta dissolve, yon ponderous orbs descend A ud priLd us into dust; the soul is safe Ice n.an emerjrew "

WATKRINO AND FAT IteNINQ STOCE. Talk of stock raising in Texas and the Far Wtst is always interesting, but the most sue(sinl man in the line of raising valuable clock is Mr. Jay Gould. Mr. Gould, some years si tee, concluded to breed stock from Lie superior blioded Western Union bull, which be ascertained fattened rapidly on water and sold well in the market The first cross of Western Union was with a line of htock owned by Mr. Ezra Cornell, known as theErie, Michigan and South Michigan breed. This transaction cost Mr. Gould $2,000,000. chiefly in water. Mr. Gould then crossed Western Union with the New York and IllsMKfcir j.i Valley stock, at a cost of $.100,000, which at once fattened up Western Union to M rtiOH.o This done. Mr. Gould crossed Western Union watr and fat Kilh e breed krown as the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Louisville, at a cost of $100, '.):, which ss soon as it was transferred to M r. i .cAuiY ranch, was fattened up to $1,000,i i) with fM'UOOO worth of water. After this. Mr. Could struck several lines of stock in PVm sylvaria and branded the herd "Westem Union." He then run-down a breed known at tbe Atlantic and Ohio, valuable rlietiy for th-ir hides, which he crossed with Wemm Union for $200, CM) and immediately exhibited theru as fancy, worth $')00,000. At tLiatimeMr. Gould heard tbat there were e'ht S'liHM f-crubs roaming about. These he htsrj-ed an i his success was celebrated by I'ji.tiDt: the valuation of $ll,l00,0UU on Ym'.ern Union, of which just $S,773,(jO wi. water. Mr. Gould's stock had thrived so weil on water that he at once (CrciU'led to distance all competition nd i emitted Western Union to absorb the ;:u:d to the amount of f 11,000.000, which bTcght up the value of the Western Union Lerd to $22.000,000, of which $1),T7Ö,000 was v,f.'tr and $2.223.000 meat, hide, hair and .".How, herns, hoofs and intestines. The i ext herds crossed with Western Union were the American and United State?, then the Punt'c aud Atlantic, and this done, Western Un.'on was valued at $11 000.000, of which 33.572 00 was water. Then Mr. Gould permitted his Western Union to roam in a pasture btre the water was abundant, and in a hort time it had increased in value to $!,- ND.OtO, of which $57,000,000 was water. The Western Union was then crossed with the A ti'.erican Union at a cost of $.",000,000. The Wetrn Uuiun herd was now permitted to drink again, and $12,000.000 worth of of water was swallowed in a few minutes; thtn Western Union was regarded as an unrivalled breed of stock and went ut to $-v,-ti-n.ao. But Mr. Gould, as a stock waterer and fatener, was not yet satisfied. Aain he trotsed Western Union with Mutual i nion, after which he proclaimed Western I'mon hull to be worth $100,000, 00, of which $75,OMV ( 0 is pure water. Here we have a man who goes into the business of watering and (altering stock, arid in a few years clears $7-V (KO.roO atuccpss brfore unheard of from the days of Laban and Jacob down to the preterit. It beats the devil. As a etupendn uü swindle it ha9 no parallels. The rare beauty uf the thing is that on this aggregation ? clean cut, cool, calculating scoundrelimii J.-y Gould is able to make the American Ie c : i e pay dividends, and he is able to perpetuate the infamy from year to year, because tbe Republican party has set the exarr. i e of cheating and stealing in every I)epariirent of the Government, because it rar... laws and partieani.es Courts, so that n.ori'Oly rascalities can be perpetrated, and tlia men who are guilty of the villainies can e(CR(e punishment. Fattening stock on water is Jsy Gould's specialty, and in that line of hu in em he is a success. HON.- GODLOVB Ö. OKIES WILL. We fee by the Lafayette Sunday Times that the will of the late Hon. Godlove S. Orth is to be contested. As a general propolion a contested will case is a public scanda!, end when a man of the wide reputation nhich Mr. Orth secured makes a will which n its face suggests injustice and the Courts aie required to pass upon its impartiality, it equity, tbe case is certain to create discussion. It appears from the record that the late Hon. Godiove S. Orth was twice married, and that when he died he gave his entire estate to his widow, his real estate and personal estate, and he granted to the widow full lower to collect all debts due the estate, and if it was thought desirable his wife, now the widow, was made executrix of his will, and the will closes as follows: 1 desire all my dear children to know and feel that thia disDotitlon of my estate is, in tsy judgment, tbe beat under all the circumstances carroundtr glt; knowlcg that they will find myid wife as much dlfpoted to love and care for them, ard to deal justly by them, as I have always felt and acted towards them mjself. Now it so happens that one of the "dear children" is Ir. William M. Orth, a son of Mr. trth's first wife, and it appears that he is (iatisfied with tbe will and has brought the r.:gt'er into the Courts for settlement. The Tuiies f-ays"it is claimed that for several frurs previous to Mr. Orth' decease be had Ucome greatly enfeebled in mind and body, so f in h to a to seriously impair his intellect. Tbat he never recovered from the thook earned by the infamous conduct of a cotfrie of Republican politicians who drove Lim oil tbe ticket as a candidate for Got- , truer iu 1870, and was never the same man

afterward." It is also claimed that tüere "must have been some extraordinary influences exercised to induce M.r. Orth to cut off bis first born, and devise his whole estate to his wife and her two children," and "these are the question." says the Times, "a Court and Jury will be called on to decide." It is not fax us to discuss "influences," bot the action of the Ilepublican party toward Mr. Orth in compelling bim to climb down from tne head of tha State ticket when he had been nominated for Governor, causing a "shock" from which he "never recovered" does come properly within the line of newpapr discussion. As an insult, as a stinging condemnation of a man as virtuous and as honest as the average Kepubl cn boss, the treatment of Mr. Orth by the Republican party of Indiana is wit tout a parallel, and the probabil ties now are that all the facts relating to the matter will be brought out. It is unfortunate for Mr Orh's name and fame tbat such should be necessary, but uow that the verdict of the American people is, that the Ilepublican rarty must go. It is manifestly in the line of retribution than ail the facts relating to the treatment of Mr. Orth should coma to the surface. If it should be ehown that the "shock caused by the infamous co idnct of a coterie of Republican politicians'' not only drove Mr. Orth off of the Republican ticket, but disordered his mind, weakened his intellect and left him partially demented and unfit to devise his estate, the wretchedness of the business will help to sink tbe Republican party several degrees nearer its birthplace than it has pitched its tent for several years. If such should be tbe outcome of the trial tbe will of Mr. Orth ar1 the wHl of t-aven, will seemingly be in alliance and will help on the shout, "Tnrn the raral out!'.'

JAVA. During the past few days all eyes have been turned to Java, a large and fertile island ot the Eastern Archipelago belongiog to the Dutch. Java is situated near theequater, being in latitude between C an 7 south. The island, in itstonCguration, is seid to be much like Cuba, and such it appears on the map. Its length is i;00 miles, its breadth ranges from 40 to 130 miles, and its area is 51, SCO ßquare miles, about the area of Alabama, and its population in 1S72 wa 17,29V LltO, or about :;34 to the tquar mile, the ruo?t densely populated r.f any country in tbe world eicept Balium, which h AM to the cquare mile. Most part of the surface of Java is mountainous, an4 a mountain chain said to be of volcinic origin runs west and east entirely through the center of tbe island, the peaks of which rise from 5,000 to 12 000 feet abuve the level of the sea. It iseaid that the "active volcanoes of the globe are reckoned at ;;23," bnt this estimate, it is said, "leaves a considerable margin of uncertainty, due in part to blanks in our geographical information in part to the frequently dubious nature of the objects enumerated. Volcanoes, seemingly exrinct, are in many cases merely dormant; while others, historically active, may, in p int of fact, have spent their tires and entered upon a period of henceforth inviolable repose, The day before the destruction of Pompeii, the crater at Vesuvius was a vine clad amphitheater, as innocuous in appearance as the Mont Dore or the royal hunting prejerve of Astrone; not even a legend of ravage was connected with the Mountain Tomboro, in the East Indian Island of Surabaya, when it awoke, in the tremendous paroxysm of 1615, from a slumber of perhaps thousands of years; Ceboruca, in Mexico, first revealed its true character by a violent eruption in 1870; even crater lakes, like the Laachersee and the Lake of Bilsen, have been known, amid a sing liar contest for supremacy between ii re and water, to revert to their ancient condition." Tbe recent awful catastrophe in Java is thought to ba, all things considered, the most destructive of life and property that has occurred within the range of authentic history. Bat it will be seen by the followiog taken from John W. Judd's work on "Volcanoes and their Action," that about 100 years ago Java wa visited by a volcanic eruption which was almost as frightful in its consequences as the late disturbance. Mr. Judd says: In the year 1772 there occurred a volcanic eruption in the Island of Jav, which is perhaps the most violent and terrible tbat has happened within the historic period. A lofty volcanic oaa, called Papandayang, 'J000 feet high, barst lato eruption and, in a aiugle night. 3J.0JO COJ.030 cubit! feet of materials were tarowu iuio tbe atmosphere, falling upon the couutry arou cd me mountain, where no lest than forty village were buried. After tbe eruption the volcuo wa found to hare been reduced in height fnm 9,0) feet to &.0C0 feet, and to preteot a vast crater in its midst. Which has hoen formed by the ejection of the enormous mass of raa'eria.a. Many similar cases might be cited of the remov! of a great part oi a mountain mass by a tudleii paroxismal outbunt. In some caes. iudsed, the whole mass of a mountain has been blown airs y during a terrific eruption, and the site of the mountain is now occupied by a lake This Is slid to have been :he case with the Island of Timor, whee an active volcano, which was visible fro in a dlatance of 300 tall 66 at sea, hss entirely disappeared. The indications now are that the earth is to have a succession of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and those countries subject to such calamities have great reason for alarm. Java seems to be tbe most unfortunate country in the world, and the late calamity has done incalculable damage, much of which can never be repaired. TUH ÖPABaOvV. From various places throughout the country comes the announcement that "the sparrow must go." We are told that the little brown bird costs more than it comes to that it does not pay ita way eats too much grain and fruit, and is not aufliciently insectivorous. We do not believe the charge can be sustained in any Court of competent jurisdiction. Our view of the Bubject leads to the conclusion that the sparrows are worth vastly more than they cost, particularly in cities, where there are, as in Indianapolis, forests of shade trees. A friend of the sparrow, writing to the Boston Journal, eaya: "Recently I determined to tett the value or otherwise of sparrows. I had boxes made for them and so placed in rcy veranda tbat I and my family could watch their movements from morning to night. I found that they conveyed to their young ones innumerable wriggling grubs; tbat they ceupbt and dismembered grasshopi-ers that were too large for one morsel, and picked up broken grain from the feeding j lace of my fowls. Tbe pparrows have neither driven away nor disturbed tbe eotij-birds, whidi they were accused of doing, nor hatre they tobbed me of the fruit in my lare garden,

which has never been in better condition or ejnsntity than this year. I fed and cared for them in England as I do here, and so far as I can see their habits are unchanged by climate. Sparrows are good friends to man if not allowed to become too numerous. If these birds are as represented would they not lave been destroyed in England long ago? f armers pay high rents, yet the sparrows survive; they are to be seen everywhere." In this city, where there are thousands of shade trees on every street and avenue, few insects can be found, and the more re j ulsive class of worms are never seen; and caterpillars have lorg since moved on. We confers to a liking for the srarro. Heia a plucky little fellow, attends strictly to business, and if he does not sing in tbe summer time under genial skies, he does not complain in the winter time, when the ice king of the North comes down and takes possession. It is well to be just toward a little bird which can not fall without attracting the notice of the Infinite Dipo"erof Events.

And pausiug sometimes, face to (ace, Ye wandered slowly on the strand. We left behind a laughing crowd; filt no need ol company: Ourselves, our thought, tbe beach, the aea. The clear blue heavens that o'er us boned. Made us a perfect solitude, Where all w ih icace and joy was filled: Where jariing fears and cares were stilled, And speech were interruption rude. So. on we wandered, band in hand, 0 er?lad to be to each so near. So be rt content, so fond and dear, Alone upon that pleasant strand. And when our footiteps we retraced, Tbe comrades we had left bebind Exclaimed : " Well, what's upoa your mind, Old boj V What fancies have you chased, "While wandering slowly and alone?

The orthodox audience were ill-mannered enough to interrupt the music by applause. In bis lecture. Rev. Joe gave a long soliloquy, purporting to be uttered by Jesus Christ, and tbe strange audience again applauded. Miss Colenso, writing to a friend In England, saya tbat Cetewayo bad wiltten ber a letter on the death of her father, tbe late Bishop of Natal. She says: "Cetewayo baa got my message sent the day after the funeral, and saya tbat be will try as I bid him not to despair. But to him it is again as when Mpande (his father) died his one great trust la gone. lie urges that be surely hs tbe first rlgh to set up the tombstone, since Sopantu has done so much for him, and begs her to let no one be beforehand with him in this." Miss Middy Mono an, the well-known live stock reporter of a New York paper, happened to be left in charge of a cottage in a New Jersey village, where she was vlalting a f.w days ago. To her appeared two villainous looking tramps. "Well, have yw. anything for us, old woman?" asked one Of the fell ws. Oh. yes," was the answer; just wait and I'll bring it down." Miss Morgan went quickly up-stairs and in ball a minute returned with a seven-shooter Crmly grasped In hor right hand. "This is hat 1 have for you," said the. "How do you like it?" The tramps did not wait to answer the que s'ion, but got out as fast as their legs could arry 'hem. Coot Naioleon Bertband, son of the companion of Napoleon L at St. Helena, used to hire a room in a hotel and go to bed for three months, after having given orders for food to be brought to bim once a day, and not a word to be spoken by tbe servant. He was aleep during the siege of Tarls. One day the bread was so abominable thst be flew into a rage, and forced the waiter to tell him the reason, which was that the city wai besieged by tbe Prussians. Count Uirtraud was stupefied for a moment.- At last he got up and wandered about the hotel tor a time, Baying to himself: "Paris besieged? beseiged? What ought a Bertrand to do?" And. after a few minutes reflections, be said: "I'll go to bed." And he went to bed and slept out the siege. Caitain Webb's death at Niigara recalls the similar täte of a man in Sicily jnst 100 yeara ago. Nicholas, umamed "the diver," on account of his many wonderful exploits, undertook, in the presence o( thousands of spectators, to dive to the bottom of the Sicilian gulf, where there is a danserous whirlpool, and bring up something which had ben throwed in. He made the attempt and ncoeded. Again something more precious was thrown in, and be agaiu succeeded. Fin ling that In tbe a cord attempt be encountered some submarine difficulties which he bad not expected, he declined to mat e another attempt, but, a Sicilian nr b e tbrowirg in a gold cup studded with brilliants as tbe prte, he dived Into the gulf and was never teen again.

Republican rule have robbed American citizenship of its value at home and of its protection abread. New York World. We hare repeatedly called attention to the shameful fact referred to by The World in the quoted paragraph.

After her admission to the bar two members of the Council, Mr. Spautigatl, M. P., and Mr. Chiaves, resigned. Wnrs a Virginia belle was once surprised by ber father in the parlor of a hotel at the White Sulphur Springs 6up5orting upon her shoulder the head of a middle aged admirer, she at once disarmed the impending rebuke by exclaiming: "Surely, father, this U not the first time you have ieen an old head ou young shoulders :" "SrMox, you've been drinking ags!n.

The young miss, with her young coou. with a blue ribbon around his neck, was down street on Sunday. The little fellow, not bigger than a goodsized kitten, paddled along the street at the side of bis mistress just as a kicdly disposed poodle would, cutting up pranks that were quite amusing to all of the many passers. A WixüEiiAco maiden, known in McGregor, Iowa, as Agi.es, went over to that town from the Wisconsin side, with other members oi her tribe, recently, in a skiiT. and. btidg detained in her shopping tour, she was morUfied on going to the river tank to End that her friends had taken tbe r-kifTand gone home.

Fhe knows one case where a widower went In aud hung up his hat, announcing his intention of remaining until he was accepted, and the girl bad to marry him to get rid of him. A widower beau makes her nervcus about the itsult. The failure of the washerwomen's strike in AugustH, Ca.. is thin pleasantly alluded to by a local paper: "Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock the city n as threatened with an event which almost curdltd the starch in the shirt collars or the community andfic.a the soapsuds lu the bluest veins.
