A Salt Lake telegram of July 12 says tbe greatest body of mineral ever discovered has just been located by two Illinois men near Echo, on the Central Pacific railroad. The ledge yields 250 to 11.100 per ton of perfectly free silver ore. Visitors to it estimated the rock in sight to be over 20,000 tons, valued at over $5,000,000.

Tbe wheat crop of Southern Minnesota is the largest ever known, and tbe quality excellent. The mail stage between Dallas and Canon City, Oregon, was robbed by highwaymen, July 17, who secured some 15.000. The South. Advices from Pope county.

On the evening of July 13. some boys who were bathing in the river at Memphis were tired upon by a watchmau named Sturgeon, the weapon being a musket loaded with slugs. Three of the missiles entered tbe head of a little boy named Johnny Murphy, producing instant death. The murderous watchman, frightened at bis bloody work, immediately jumped into a skiff and made his escape down tbe river. The caterpillars and boll-worms are playing havoc with the Alabama cotton fields. A freshet in the Alabama river and tributaries recently destroyed over 2,000,000 worth of cotton and com crops. Judge Linton Stephens (brother of Alexander H Stephens), for many years prominent in tbe politics of Georgia, is dead. The first bale of cotton of the season was received at Galveston. Texas, July 16. and sold for 93 cent- a pound, gold. The War Department at Washington has details of the massacre of the Lee family at Clearford, 16 miles below Fort Griffin. Texas. The father, mother, and a little girl eight years of age, were killed by arrows, then scalped, and the bodies left with the arrows sucking in them. Mrs. Lee's ears were cut off. Cordelia, aged 10. Susannah, aged 17, and John Lee. aged 16, were taken prisoners. Gen. Augur fears that more extensive operations will have to be taken against these Indians before they will remain peaceable. Gen . Sheridan, in a communication to the War Department, says : -We can never stop the wild Indians from murdering and stealing until we punish them. If a white man in this country commits murder we hang him. If he steals horses we put him in tbe penitentiary. If an Pidian commits these crimes no give him better fare and more blankets. I think I may with ieasoo say that under this policy the civilization of the wild red man will progress slowly." Washington. The Secretary of State has referred all the papers relative to tbe seizure of the Cuban privateer Pioneer, at Newport, to the Attorney General. Meanwhile, the Pioneer remains under cover of the guns of the steamer Moccasin.

The Secretary of the Treasury has advanced

to the Collector of Cnstoms at Chicago the

sum of 1,250,000 to pay for tbe site selected for the new custom-house in that city.

The nine men were executed on reaching live u' camp. A mam named O'Byrne has recovered 25 in a suit against against tbe Chief Secretary for Ireland, for damages oaused b an attack by the police during the Phumix riot in Dublin. Another crisis is threatened in France on tbe delicate and embarrassing question of providing by taxation to meat the German indemnity. Tbe National Assembly was tbe scene of an intensely bitter and excitin debate, on July 13, on the proposition to increase the tax on doors, windows and household furniture. Thiers accepted tbe proposal, remarking that the "cap was bitter, but it must be drained, without flinching, to the dregs." The " Bight" strenuously opposed the measure, and demanded a more conservative policy. The members of the " Left" were equally demonstrative, and the scene that ensued was one of great confusion and excitement. The Orangemen's parades in Canada, on the 12th of July, were unusually large and very orderly. Considerable excitement wae created at Alexandria, Egypt, on tbe 13th of July, by a shooting affray, conducted in genuine American style, between Consul General Butler and his Secretary. Wadleigh, ou the one part, and three ex-Confederate officers (Loring, Reynolds and Campbell), now in the Khedive's service, on the other. Several shots were exchanged, and Campbell was wounded. There are conflicting accounts as to the origin of tbe disgraceful affair. Heavy thunder and rain storms prevailed throughout England on the 12th of July, proving very' destructive to the young crops. Many persons were killed by ligbtuing. The Cuban Gee. Ryan arrived at Key West on tbe 14th. He denies that the Fannie 's troops were captured, and says no cannon wre lauded. News, ot a very warlike nature comes from South America. Brazil has refused to receive tbe Minister of tbe Argentine Republic, which may by regarded as tbe last step before tbe inauguration of hostilities. Both Governments are actively preparing for the threatened conflict. The President of the French Republic entertained Gen. Sherman at dinner on the 15th of July. The members of the Geneva Board of Arbitration reconvened on July 15. The session of the Board will probably last two months. It is said that a strong contest will be made by the English agents against tbe indirect claims, but it is. thought the award in favor of the United States will be a large one. The sittings will be conducted in secret. The New York HeraM, of June 15. publishes letters from Stanley, giving a history of his meeting with Dr. Livingstone. The stories Livingstone tells of the country he explored read like a fable. He tells of ivory being s I cheap and plentiful as to be used for doorposts; fine ras-clott, rivaling that of India; of a people nearly white and extremely hand some, who (he supposes) may be descendants of the ancient Egyptians: of copper mines which have been worked for ages, and of docile and friendly people. Stanley says that he found Livingstone in a very destitute condition, he having been robbed and deserted by his men. He looks to be only about fifty, and is quite bale and hearty. The London Echo, commenting on Cata cazy's pamphlet, recently published in Paris, says the nacuscrii't was offered to them for two hundred pounds, and its publication fully justifies their opinion that it was not worth the money, and is, indeed, hardly worth noticing. The well-known American prima donna. Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, has achieved a great triumph in London, in the opera of " Traviata," having been recalled five tim s the first night of its representation. She was personally congratulated by the Prince of Wales. The London journals pronounce her simply perfect. The magazine of Fort Monarca, at Nenvatis, Island of Cuba, was struck by lightning recentlv, causing a tremendous explosion, shattering tbe fort and killing seven Spanish soldiers. A rifled cannon was blown 150 feet from the embrasure. The London Times, commenting on the Stokes trial, says : " ÄX the bottom of what we call th. miscarriage of justice is that indifference tbe Americans feel for violent crimes, in which both murderer and victim are rowdies." Tbe man Cornwall, who kindly lent his assistance to tbe American detectives who abducted Dr. Brat ton from Canada soil, has been tried at London, Ont.. found guilty, and sentenced to three years in tbe Penitentiary. Later advices from Alexandria, Egypt, give the particulars of the shooting affray between Consul General Butler and the Khedive's American officers. Butler and Wadleigh were dining at a Orcek restaurant, where there were also a party of officers, Gens. Loring and Reynolds and MaJ. Campbell. As they were leaving tho restaurant, Loring and Reynolds saluted Butler, but Campbell passed on without recognizing him. Butler shouted after bim, " Good evening, Campbell " CamplU retraced his steps, and high words and blows ensued. The whole party then went into the street, wheie Wadleigh fired several shots at Campt ell, wounding him dangerously. Reynolds then fired at WadNgh without effect. The difficulty is reported to have grown out of a long -standing enmity between Rutler and Campbell. The Agassiz expedition arrived at Panama June 25. Tbe Chilian Government has decreed that in all Roman Catholic cemeteries in Chili a portion of the ground is to be set apart for the burial of Protestant dead. Central American advices state that thirtynine Capuchin friars were ejected from their convent in Guatemala under an escort of soldiers, and their property confiscated by the

Government. The Jesuits are also being expelled from Salvador Advices from Berlin represent that the cholera is rapidly making its way from the interior of Busaia to the Prussian frontier, and much uneasiness exist in the German capital. A dispatch from Port Said announces the arrival there and subsequent departure for England of Stanley, the hero of the Living stone search. He is accompanied by a ton of Dr. Livingstone.

Horace Greelej'a Acceptance of the Baltimore Nomination. On Friday, July 12, the committee appoi.it ed at Baltimore to perform that duty called upon Horace Oreeley, iu New York, and formal It notified him of his nomination. Judge Ooolittle acting as spokesman of tbe committee . Greeley replied in tbe following words . " Gkntlemen : I should need time were I to attempt to reply fitly and fully to the important, audi need not say, gratifying communi cation. It may be that I should reply in writing, but as 1 have addressed a letter, which has been pretty widely considered, to the Liberal Republican Convention, it may not be necessary. I can only aay now that I accent your nomination; accept it in the spirit In which it was offered. Cheers. I am at present in a position which, doubtless, many would regard as a proud one, but which is still an embarrassing one, because it involves the temporary, and. I trust, only temporary, annoyance of a misconstruction of my motives on the part of some valued and life-long friends. I am confident that time aloue is necessary to vindicate my motives to all candid observers, and to convince all of t'ie disinterestedness and patriotism of the course I am pursuing and intended to pursue long before I was assured of so much co-operation and sympathy. Cheers. The time will come, and, I trust iu God. the opportunity too, when tbe world will see that you are no less Democrats because you have pursued tbe course you have, and that I am no leas a Republican because I accept vour nomination. Cheers Here Mr. Greeley's voice faltered with emotion, lit- recovered himself, and continued. " I am not much in the babit of receiving a nomination for the Presidency. (Great laughter. I am consequently unable to reply as readilv and fluently as' others might. Renewed laughter. I can only sy I shall be happy to see all of you, or at least as many of you äs can come, at my humble farmer borne, where I shall be to-morrow, and where we shall be able to converse and confer more freely than here. If you will come, I shall be bappy to make von welcome to ihe liest the farm ', affords more laughter and cheers ; and now I simply wisn you farewell. The Church Troubles In England. London Letter to tbe Sew York World. .Some of the effects of the judgment of the Privy Council in the Bennet case already tegin to appear. As the judgment was to the effect that while it wan not true thtt the consecrated bread and wine contained tne body and blood of Christ, it was lawful to teach that they do contain that body and blowl, the effects of the dec sion are various. One low-church clergyman, who has been in what he calls schisms" for five years, now writes to the Archbishop of Canterbury, saying that he now 44 embraces the Catholic doctrines," und begs "your (trace's absolution for my bins.'' Another low-church clergy man takes just the opposite ccurse, and writes to say that he gives up his living and renounces his holy ordere, because hecannot remain in a church which allows "idolatry" to be taught. And a highchurchman, instead of being contented with the deciion?, announces thatsince it is lawful to teach the Roman doctrine he may as well go the whole, and that he will accordingly go over to Rome, and hopes to t ke all his congregation with him. The (ieneva Tribunal. Babel has been reproduced at Geneva. There isabaolitely no language that is understood by all the members of the tribunal of arbitration. The English comes the nearest to being the common tongue, as all the members ire more or less familiar with it, but some of them so slightly that they cannot understand it when it is spoken. French i understood by all the five arbitrators and by Mr. C.ileb Cushing, but Sir Roundel i Palmei is guiltless of any knowledge of it, and Mr. Evarts is considerably less than a thorough French scholar. The confusion of tongues will prevent oral arguments on the various questions that will come up for consideration, and neces-itate the tedious process of having all the argument reduced to writing and then translated into French by the interpreter. Patent Brain Drops. Physiologists tell us that tbe brain consumes a great deal of phosphorus, and the doctors say that brown bread is healthier than that made from bolud flour, because of the phosphorus that the bran contains, which in fine flour is in great part absent. Baking powders were accordingly invented, the principal purpose of which was to supply biead with the needful amount of the phosphoric quality. A candy has now been invented and patented, which is no other than doses ot phosphorus in dieguise. The love of candy has thus been utilized and made to repair the waste of nervous and brain forces. 1. is a plea.-s int way of taking medicine, and even the children cry lor it. A Striking Year. The year 1872 will pass into history as the year of strikes. Certainly no other year in the present century has seen so many of the demonstrations by the working people in so many different quarters of the globe. A singular feature, too, is the variety ot vocations that have been represented by the strikers. For example, there NN the housemaids of Dundee, the waheiwomen of Kensal; and now the cockle-gatherers of Holywell, in North Wa'es, have determined to raise their prices a farthing a quart and to xpe! from the beds those who do not join in the advance. Ttlbr is the only President who was married during his incumbney, and the smiling Colfax the only Vice President.

Tub growth of the sentiment against capital punishment is illustrated by th fact that nearly half of those called to fill the jury upon the Stokes case were rejected because of their opposition to capital punishment. Tub highest average salaries of clergy, men in New York are paid in the Protestant Episcopal Church, two ministers receiving $12,000 each. California, before many years, ig destined to become one of the cotleegrowing countries of the world. A party of Costa Ricans, with a former President of that country at their head, have purchased a tract of land near San Rafael, and among the principal employments of the colony is to be that of raising coffee. Thb toothpick-factory in Canton, Me., furnishes more work than all business in the town. Over 100 cords of poplar have teen hauled for its use this season, and convertid i..to toothpicks.

Oct of 303 colleges in the United States, 265 are supported by religioude nominations. Of these the Catholics have 54, the Baptists 4M, the Methodists 32, the Presbyterians 25, the Episcopalians 16, and the Lutherans 16. Tbe notorious Fanny Jordon, the Cincinnati siren who recently captivated the King of Bavaria, and drove Hernandez y Castros, the President of the Cafe di Europa, to disgrace and suicide, has arrived in New York, and will pass the season in Newport. The fair and frail Fanny is described as looking no more than 23 or 25 years old, and jtossessing a face symmetrical and attractive.

Livingstone Strange Stories Talk in the London Clubs. London Letter to the Xew Yok World. There is some curious club talk in re card to the great explorer whom Stanley found, but could not bring away no more than he could pluck up drowne i honor by the roots. It is conjectured that Stanley did not tell all he know;, or else that Livingstone did not permit him to discover all there was to be found out. A story is revived that was cur rent some years since, but which, when it came to light in a Cleveland paper or. your side of the Atlantic, wa so vigorously pooh-poohed that men fanci" i there was no foundation for it. Tins story was to the etTect that the rea'on why Livingstone did not come home was that he was happily married in Cen tral Africa, and could neither tiring his dear princess with him nor tear himself away from her fascinating embraces. This story, it will be remembered. was said to have been brought down to Zanzibar by Arabs trading with Uzizi. It will be remembered, m reover, that long before Kirk or any one claimed to have tidingof Livingstone, either direct or indirect, the late Sir Roderick Murchison was in the habit of expressing himself as being assured of the traveler's visibility, and hooting at the notion that there wa any truth in the report ol Lis having been murdered. Gossip points to the well-known impa tience of civilization manifested bf Livingstone on his former visit hi? horror of lionizing, his disgust with book-craft and quotes his declaration that it was easier to explore Africa than to tell about it. There is talk of an naturally nomadic disposition, and the well-ascertained fact that habits of life such as he has followed for so many years, joined to a roving spirit, become inveterate and uncontrollable. ue quid nuncs shake their heads and tell ot Rajah Brooke, Hester Stanhope, Lady Ellenborough, and many other English women and men who, crazed with "form-sickness," have broken bounds and fled to savagery for life. Livingstone, they -say, expects to come bsck "some of these days," when the Ulye spirit is quite worn out of him, but he has no definite intentions to return at any particular time, and his fixing two years as the period of time necessary to complete his discoveries by the exploration of 180 miles of river was a mere subterfuge to get rid of Stanley. It ' further insinuated that this expatriation of himself is an old plan ; that he himself made up the story of his murder brought back by his Makaloo attendants, and that he has always prevented Dr. Kirk from getting news of him. and declined to communicate with him until the pursuit grew so strong b-' could no longer keep his existence secret. I send you this gossip for wist it is worth.
