'THE EQUINE EPIDEMIC. Its Ravages and Present Status at Various Points. ‘A General Stagnation in Business, NeEw Yorg, Oct. 31.—A general imrovement is noticed to-day among Eorses afflicted by the prevailing dis‘ease. Business and travel is still seriously interfered with by the epidemiec. Eighty-five deaths from the malady are reported this morning in this city, and 25 in Brooklyn. : The Board of health have instructed Dr. Jones, the City Sanitary Inspector, to make a thorough investigation of the nature of the disorder in the Fire Department of all horses sick to-day. The self-propelling engine which was expected to arrive to-day will not reach here till tFmorrow. e ~ The cool and bracing weather of the last two days has had a gooud effect upon the sick horses, and the malaéy’ seems to have slightly abated. More horses are on the streets to-day, and many of our car and stage stables re_port an improvement in their stock.— The facilities for travel are somewhat increased. ‘ The weather to-day is cloudy, with appearances of rain, which is not encouraging, If it becomes fine, it is hope(fi:hat the horses will rapidly improve. At all events, the crisis is now considered passed. i ! 'The Third-avenue line was yesterday running four horses to each - car, with a'view of keeping up good appearances, for fear of a visit from Bergh.— Over one hundred and ten dead horses were reported at the offal dock yesday. o : : No cliange for the better is reported among' the Brooklyn horses. Heavy mortality is reported there. Mr. Bergh intends to stop the Bleeker street cars to-day. He regards as preposterous the suits against him,— Other’ lines say they would prefer to have Bergh stop them, as they are' running merely to accommodate the public. i The stagnation of business remains about the same. A female doctor reports that she is treating four ladies suffering from the horse disease. : Mr. Bonner thinks the distemper will soon pass by. : The FEuropean steamers yesterday sailéd on time, their cargoes being furnished by lighters. L ‘ The disease is on the spread in New Jersey. : : There arée apprehensions in political circles that the horse disease may affect the result in this and some gther States, by preventing country voters from getting to the polls on Tuesday next. . ! : - The horse disease is reported more fatal throughout the New England States. A .

CHIcAGO, Oct. 31.—There seems to be no longer any doubt that the horse disease has reached tlLis city, and that several hundred horses are already affected. Every precaution is being taken to prevent its spread. Dr. Roach, Sanitary Superintendent has ' given orders to disinfect the stables in the city immediately, and cautions the people not to remove sick horses from any stable. : ‘ o The horse disease has fully established itself here. Some 1,700 cases were reported to-day. The disease so far appears to be of a mild form, and it is thought with careful greatment the horses will soon recover.” There is no noticeable interruption to travel or.business ag ‘yet. , Bosrox, Oct. 81.—The fatality arising from the horse epidemic is considerably on the increase, the deaths average from 25 to 30 daily. Very few new cases are reported, and many among the earliest attacked appear to be recovering, but the scarcity of horses fit for work continues greatly to incommode business and travel, with small hopes of improvement for some time.

PramapELPHIA, Oct, 31.—The cases of horse disease number 600 in this city, and 150 in Camden. No deaths reported. A large number of ‘horses in private stables are affected. : - Außany, N. Y. Oct. 31.—The horse disease still prevails here, and oxen and laboring men are brought into use in drawing wagons. Prrrsßura, PaA., Oct. 31—Prevalent horse disease has made its appearance in this city. Nearly fifty well developed cases are reported. ‘CrevELAND, 0., Oct. 31.—The horse disease continues to spread rapidly.— All the street car lines with one exception, suspended running ecars this evening. That one will probably do so to-morrow. About hdlf of the express companies’ horses are unfit for*‘use, also many of the fire department horses.. It is estimated that there are nearly 600 cases of distemper now in this city. Troy, N. Y., October 31.—The horse disease has prevailed here séveral days. Two hundred and twenty horses of the Troy and Lansingburg Railroad are sick, ane the cars hauled off. More than half the horses in this city are affected. : 1 PorTLAND, MAINE; October 31.— The horse disease is becoming fatal in this city. ;

An exchange contains. the following queer fantasy: “The restless Yankee hag set 'his. wits to work again, and this time with the intention of imposing upon the trusting nature of trees. The bare condition of the trees during the bleak months of winter strikes him as being far from pleasing to the general eye, and he proposes to remedy it by a S{stem of steam pipes twining among the roots of shade trees, and kept warm by steam from an ordinary furnace boiler. He doubtless ‘thinks that he may thus. cause the frees to imagine themselves in the midst of summer, and to suppose that the bleak winds of December are merely passing eccentricities not worth noticing ; and above all, not of sufficient consequence to cast off their summer attire. We do not believe that the trees can be imposed upon to this extent, but the intention of the ingenious inventor, who, by the way, dwells in Connecticut, is none the less commendable. If this gentleman would turn his mind to some means of persuading flies and mosquitoes that winter reigned all the year round, he would confer a greater benefit on his suffering species than by trying to take advantage of the trees.

A yonng woman, by the name of Mary E. Armstrong, committed suicide on Friday night, at Logansport, Ind., by taking twenty-five grains of strychnine. Bhe was divorced recently from her husband, and left a letter stating that this was the reason for committing the act, - e ;

The Steamer Miszouri Burned at Sea. Eighty Lives Believed to be Lost. Key Wesr, Oct. 30.—The steamer Anna, which arrived here this afternoon from Nassau, brought intelligence of the burning of the Atlantic Mail Line steamship Missouri, en route from New York to Havana. ' Of all the persons on board only twelve are known to be saved. The captain and crew of the ill-fated - vessel are said to be among those who perished. L New Yorg, Oct. 30.—Mr. H. J. Quinan, Treasurér of the Atlantic Mail Line, furnishes the following dispatch received by that company in relation to the loss of the steamer Missouri: ““Nassavu, via Key Wesr, Oct. 30. “To H. J. Quinan, Treasurer of the Atlantic Mail Steamship Company : “The Missouri burned at sea, twen-ty-five miles from Abaco. Five of the crew and the following passengers were saved : . George Thackeray, John Rikus; Enrique Yanco, Wilbur Tunnell, James Culmer, Emilius Outerbridge and Ebenezer Saul, colored. There is but little hope for the safety of the ‘erew and passengers. Particulars by mail. The steamer Anna is at Key West waiting-an answer. - [Signed] i “‘JOHNSON.”. Quinan says: ‘““The above dispatch covers all the information this Company has received in-relation to the loss of its steamer Missouri.. I infer that our, agents first learned of the disaster from the passengers and crew saved, who doubtless landed at Nassau. The dispatch was forwarded from Nassau to Key West by this Company’s steamer, Anna, which service was probably.performed by her only after every hope of saving life had passed.” ; The following is a list of the passengers of the burned steamer Missouri : For Havana—George Thackery, Anthony Hopton, Gertrude Davies and three children, Anto Mancillas and wife, Colonel Albert S. Evans, Erastus Siegara, Enrique Yonco, Henry Franecis Fox, A. E. Outerbridge, Mrs. Mary Jane Allen and infant, Lirnest Schoas, Michael Garcea.. G

For Nassua—Victor Zelinki, Miss Walcolin, Mrs. Hepburn and infant, L. F. Cleveland and five servants, J. W. Cubrum and Wilbur Tunnell. . » Mr. R.‘Green, Captain ; John Brown, First Officer;: Lewis Farrel, Second Officer; W. D. Hempstead, Purser, and a crew numbering fifty-eight men, Two of the boats of the ill-fated Missouri were burned alongside of the vessel, and there is no probability that any of the others ever reached the shore. ' It is probable that not a single life would have been saved had it not been for James Culmer, a resident of Eleuthera, and a passenger on board. A new boat had been purchased in New Bork and placed on deck, but as the weather had been boisterous she had not' been secured, either by gripes or by chocks.. When it was known that the vessel would be destroyed, Culmer, with a few others, launched this boat, holding fast the painter. When he jumped overboard and swam to the boat, eleven others followed him ; and even then, had it not been for Culmer, who was acquainted with the management of the beat and took charge and piloted her safely through the surf, she would have been lost with the others. The three possengers who are here were bound to Havana, and will be forwarded to that port. Further particulars will probably received to-morrow. Later—The Sad News Fully, Confirmed—Only Twelve Persons Saved. Key Wust, Oct. 80.—The steamer Missouri, of the. Atlantic Mail Line, was burned at sea in a gale on the 22d instant, about twenty-five miles from Abaco, en route for Havana via Nassau, N. P. Twelve persons were saved. ‘The fire was discovered about 9 A. u, in the pantry, and suddenly burst out! in volumes oty flames amidships, spreading rapidly over the ship. - The boats were launched immediately, and all but one were swamped at once. Those remaining on board were compelled, on account of the flames, to jump into the sea. Those saved landed in one of the boats at Abaco about 6 P. M. oa the evening of the 22d. and were taken from there in a small schooner to Nassau. e : : It was a terrible sight for those in the floating boat to see those in the water clinging to the swamped boats and begging for assistance. There were about ten ladies on board. It is not known whether any of the missing have since been picked up. It is said the Captain made every effort to save the lives of the passengers. Three of the saved passengers are now here.— The origin of the fire is unknown.

e _State ruled by Women. Among the : Ho'land Possessions there is a remarkable little statefwhich in ite constitution and the original customs of its inhabitants, surpasses the boldest-dreams of American emancipation ladies. Upon the Island of Java, between the cities of Batavia ald Samarang, lies the little kingdom of Bantom. Although tributary to Holland, it is an independent state, politically without importance, yet happy, rich, and since ‘time immemorial, governed and defended by women,— The sovereign is indeed a man, but all the rest of the governmént belongs to the fair gex. The King is entirely dependent upon his state couusil, composed of three women. The highest authorities, military commanders, and soldiers are without' exception, of the female sex. THe men are agriculturists and merchants.. The body-guard of the King is formed of the female elite. 'These Amazons ride in the ‘masculine ‘style, wearing sharp steel points instead of spurs. They. carry a pointed lance, which they swing very gracefully, and also a musket which is discharged at full gallop. = The throne is inheritable by the eldest son, and in case the King dies without issue,a ‘hundred elected Amazons assemble, in order to choose a successor from among their own sons. The chosen one is then proclaimed lawful King. The capital of this little state lies in one of the most picturesque parts. of the islands, in & fruitful plain, and is defended by two well kept fortresses.

: Scientifie Coffee NMaking. Prof. Liebig, the German chemist, says good coffee should be such in two principles, extract and aroma. = When boiled a long time coffee is rich in extract bug deficient in aroma ; and when boiled oaly a short time it is rich in aroma but deficient in extract. In order to obtain both of these properties, Prof. Liebig direets us to take two-thirds of the ground coffee -neeced for the meal, put it io the water and boil briskly a considerable time, and when the meal is nearly ready, take the coffee from the fire and add the remaining third of ground coffee ; stir it well, let it stand a few minutes and serve.

| A Cure for Earache. e We have recently seen several rec ipes| published as beneficial in cases of earache; but one who has-a severe attack of that malady will, we “think, soon find the inefficiency of them all’ There is, however, one remedy which the experience of twenty years has taught us is unfailing. We have seen it repeatedly tried ‘in our own family, and have frequently recommended it to others, always wicth the same satisfactory result: Lo No house should be withoutits bottle of Arnica. - It iz indispensable in cases of cuts, burns and bruises, and in earache it is a sovereign cire. As soon as any soreness is felt in the ear—which feeling almost alwas precedes the regular acht—let three or four drops of tincture of arnica’ be poured in, and - then the orifice filled with a litile cotton to exclude the air; and ina short time the nneasiness is forgotten. If the arniealis not resorted to uniil there iz ac - tual| pain, the cure may not be so gpeedy, but it is just as certain. If| one application of the aruica does not l effec a-cure, it will be neceszary=to re | peat!it, it may be, several times. It ix a sure preventive for gathering in the ear, which is the usnal canse of ear< ache. .’ S ; We have never yet known any har?fiu or serious inconvenience to attenfl this use of arnicd; though, if the' spifits with which it is made are very strong, it may be diluted with a little wafler as the gpirits—not the arnica— | will sometimes cause a temporary diz~ zinpss of the head, which iz unpleas- ' ant.—Arthur's Magazine, = .

For instance, peas and beaps cooked in hard water, containing lime or gypsum, will not boil tender becanse these substances harden vegetable caseine.— In soft water they boil tender and lose. a gertain raw, rank taste, which they retain in hard water. - Many vegetables (as onions) boil nearly tasteless in, soft water, because all the flavor is dissotved out. The addition of salt often _checks this, as in the case of onions, capsing the vegetables to retain their peculiar flavoring principles, hesides ‘much nutritious matter which might “bellost in soft water.

ChaTl'ey Bartholomew’s Dash. The passagé of the train from Reno yesterday morning, through the burning tunnel, the otherside of the American Flat, will have to stand recorded as one of the most brilliant as well as fortunate daghes ever made under such circumstances. Johnny Bartholomew; - one of the best engineers that ever mounted a locomotive, had, on this particularoceasion, happened to change off with Charley McCormic, the regu--lar engineer of the “Rero,” therefore was the hero of this oceasion. @ There was mno trusty watchman or anybody else to give warning of the impending danger and the train<was around the curve and into the tunnel before the fire could be seen. The tunnel is 650 feet in length, and' the fire being at the opposite ead, there was little time for thinking oracting, and not enough. for stopping. The deep, red, roaring flames and dense, black smoke were ahead, and it looked like attempting a mad rush through Tophet, but there was 10 other way for ib.*. The lives of} the passengers and all hands were in thecare of Johnny Bartholomew;and nobody knew it better than-he, His first impulse was to reverse the engine and whistle down brakes, but his quick conclusion was that that wouldn’t do, so with a resolute jerk of the lever he ‘“‘threw heropen.” The Reno gave an angry snort-and rashed forward like a freed racer with whirlwind speed right through the firey mass.. Johnny held fast to the lever, closed one eye, held his breath, and tried to think of some prayer as he passed in his checks, for he imagined he could feel the hot rails bending like lead underthe wheels and both felt and heard the blazing timbers, and other fallen obstructures on the track being dashed aside by trusty cow catcher. The women pass.engers screamed, and even the stoutest hearted men quivered with sudden fear as they dashed through the fierce hot, light, but in - another instant the terrible gauntlet was passed, and they safely slowed down in the cool, grey morning daylight beyond. 5 . Dirt, stones, and blazing bits of ‘timber on the cow catcher, and the shower of burning coals covered the train, shcwed how dangerous were the - obstructions so safely passed yet they had rushed through so quickly that the paint on the passenger coaches was not even scorched. g ohnny can not rush an engine through that tun‘nel to-day, for every timber throughout its entire length burned out as clean as a shot gun, and huge cavings of earth and rock render it,%fipasgilfi; for many days to eome. - °

44 The Meek Eyed Camels. ;. |+ sicieine, Xxom the New York Sun, . - o On Wednesday two ladies from | Boston visited Central Park. They strolled on the Mall, admired “Auld Lang Syne,” took a ridé on the lake, “and confessed that the Park was wor/ thy rival of the great Boston Common. “In fact, if it was.only.in Boston, they were not certain but 1t would exceed the pride of the Hub. Then they went to the arsenal to see the animals: Miss Richardson, who is a dashing brunette, wore a love of & Boztl'ulb med with the rarest of autumn flowers and grasses, They admired the mon--keysfihe bears, the eagles, and then they followed the crowd to see the ba‘by- elephant. Near the elephant a couple of camels were chewing their cud and drearily watching the crowd ‘through half closed eyes. - Their innocent looks attracted ! the attention of - Miss Richardson, and she paused to expatiate to her friend, Miss Andrews, on the noble animal’s meekness, and what & blessing he was to the children of'the desert. Then they turned their attention to the baby elephant. . In a few minutes the crowd was startled by the shrieks of a woman. - Some shouted that the lions had just got loose while others -yelled bears, and'still others snakes, A sta%pede and a 'panic was .imminent, but =a glance toward the camels soon chang-: ed the cries' of fright into shouts of . langhter.. The largest and most innocent looking of the camels had evidently become impressed with the idea that the flowers and grasses in Miss Richardson’s hat were real, and opening his dreamy looking eyes and mouth at the same time, he elevated the hat and the lady’s chignon about sixteen feet in the air, Evidently he was sadly disappointed, for after getting them well in his mouth, he spat: them out, and closing his dreamy looking eyes and huge mouth, again looked innocently upon the ocrowd. The damaged head gear was restored fo the unfortunate owner, and soon after the tw'o ladies from Boston were speeding away ‘%’om the Park in a close carriage. As Miss Richardson entered the earriage she remarked to . Miss Andrews thatishe couldn’t imag‘ine why the Park Commissioners allowed such horrid ugly looking brutes to run loose in the Park witivsut muzzling.

Antediluvian Relics.

Some granite hammers have beén found which o 0 one but John Henry Cardiff, Esq., ~alive and hearty, could swing.
