EPITOME OF THE WEEK. ‘ THE OLD WORLD. It having been reported that the Czar " had ordered the nobles to divide their property among the peasants in Russia, and those op the lands of Count Schouvaloff seeing no. signs of division, a large number of them attacked the castle of that diplomatist on the 30th ult., and literally sacked it. THE Auwrora newspaper, the organ of Pope Leo XIII., appeared in Rome on the morning of the Ist. ; ; . AFTER a thorough test Mr. Maskelyne, of the Mineral Department of the British Museum, has decided that the crystalized forms of carbon claimed to be' diamonds are not those gems, but only a silicious compound. . T : THE Tay bridge lately blown down near Edinburgh, Scotland, is to be rebuilt. A pIspATCH from Cabul, received in London on the morning of the Ist, represents the Mahommedans as abandoning the city in crowds, fearing that some retribution would be visited upon them because they sympathized.with the insurgents, - | : TEHERAN (Persia) dispatches, received in London on the Ist, state that the famine in the northern provinces of that country was increasing in severity. Great Britain and the United States were looked to for relief. _ A Loxpon dispatch of the Ist'says it had been learned that if the Afghan rebels had whipped the British they would have stipulated, as a basis of peace, the return of the British to India, a promise that the Ameer should be restored, and that two British officers should be delivered to them as hostages for the fulfillment of the pledges. The sweeping British victories deprived the insurgents of an opportunity to present their cheerful proposition. ' e THE announcement is made that the & ex-Empress Eugenie will soon pay a visit to - South Africa to mark the spot where the Prince Imperial was killed by the Zulus.

THE NEW WORLD. SECRETARY SHERMAN has written Senator Morrill a long letter on the subject .of the bonded indebtedness of the United States. He takes the ground that it would be unwise to attempt to refund the s’s and .6’s falling due in the next eighteen months in3l4 per cents, and states as a reason why the issue would be unsuccessful that the im_proved condition of the mercantile and manufacturing interests of the country will afford better opportunities for investments than even a bond bearing a higher rate of interest than those about to be refunded. He says in regard to Fernando Wood’s bill providing for a 3¢ per cent. loan: that the bonds would not sell at par, and‘ that he has grave doubts of the Government’s ability to borrow money much longer at four per cent. To make the trial, however, as early as possible, he recommends thatbaction be taken by Congress for the immediate issue of another four-per-cent. loan. The amount/of bonds to be refunded prior to July 2, 1881, is nearly $800,000,000, and Mr. Sherman thinks the time now available is none too great for that purpose. : : THE committee appointed by the Governor of New Hampshire to investigate the cattle disease in that State reports that it is not pleuro-pneumonia, but that. it was induced by local causes and is not contagious. THE Pennsylvania Republican Convention has been called to meet in Harrisburg on the 4th of February. ~THE Postmaster-General has instructed the Postmaster of New York City to refuse the payment of meney orders or the delivery of registered letters addressed to certain firms in Broad and Wall streets, purport~ ing to be engaged in stock brokerage. - AT Boston on the night ot the 29th ult. Mrs. Helen J. Ward was shot and killed by her daughter, a young lady nineteen years of age, under singular circumstances.

A NUMBER of wagon-loads of arms and ammunition were removed from the arsenal at Bangor, Me., to Augusta; on the 30th ult. In response to the protests of a Committee of Safety Governor Garcelon said he. had ordered the transfer for the purpose -of testing ,the loyalty of the people- of Bangor. He wou®li not call out the military unless forced to do so by disturbances which the police could not control. A largely-attended Democratic mass meeting was held at Portland in the evening, at which Congressmen Murch and Ladd made speeches approving the acts of the Governor and Council. Large indignation meetings were held at Newport and Phillips, andl resolutions were adopted strongly capdemning thie action of the State authorities. The Governor was engaged in framing a reply to ex-Senator Morrill’s last letter. ONE' HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN colored emigrants from Goldsboro, N. C., arrived at Petersburg, Va., on the 80th ult., en

She expressed regret dfter the shooting that her aim had not been a deadly one. ;

GOVERNOR SMITH, of Wisconsin, was inaugurated on the sth. The military procession was a fine one. All the State officers were sworn in and conducted to their several departments. .

'The Splendor of the Mid-Winter Sky. - THE winter evening sky is now at ‘nearly its greatest brilliancy. Of the fifteen first magnitude stars visible in this lattitude twelve can be seen between seven and ten o’clock p. m. The only ones not visible within those hours are Arcturus, Antares and Spica. This array of the chief leaders of the firmament furnishes a fine opportunity for a study that receives little attention and which yet possesses peculiar interest for those who delight in the picturesque aspect of the starry heavens. Tolearn to recognize in the leading stars individual peculiarities by which they can ‘be distinguished from one another, very much as one distinguishes faces in a crowd, is perhaps hardly a scientific pursuit, {ret it is by no means an idle intellectual amusement. No betier time than the present could be chosen for this study of what might be called the physiognomy of the stars. Nobody, for instance, could mistake Vega, the bright star that can be seen in the northwest early in the evenin,«ir, for any other in the sky. Its peculiar color and brilliancy have been admired by astronomers for ages. - Over in the east, . little later, Betelguese and Rigel, the chief twinklers in %l:'ion, may be seen, with Aldebaran inthe Bull shining high above them. Rigel looks very much like Vega, yet a careful eye detects a difference of color. Betelguese and Aldebaran are at once classed together as red stars, yet there is the most beautiful contrast of hue between them. Aldebaran is of a pale rose color, and Betelguese, which varies remarkably in brightness, is of a reddish orange. N earlir overhead at about ten o’clock is Capella, which seems to vie in brightness with Rigel, }yet the two can never be confounded; for while Rigel blazes and scintillates, like a diamond shaken in the sunli%ht, Capella shines with a steady, unchanging luster that makes it one of the most beautiful of all the stars. Sirius, which rises shortly after Rigel, is distin%uished by his superior size, and by the ceaseless flashing of prismatic colors, surrounding him with a sort of halo well becoming the chief of all the stars. e R R Whoever has once learned to know these stars, as he knows the faces of his friends, may wander to every corner of the world without losing the feeling that he is yet at home.— New York Sun.

Mitzner was taken to jail to await the result of Faulkner’s injuries. - : Dr. TowNsSEND RYAN, an influential citizen of Anderson since 1843, died at his residence there on the morning of the 30th ult.

In her ante-mortem statement the womansaid her father’s name was G. W. Groves, Washington, Ind., and that his affection for her became alienated by the schemings of a cruel stepmother. She said the deed was caused by brooding over a letter from him, in which he said he would not disinherit her in his' will, but would give her a dollar to send her to hell. Miss Groves was only about twenty years old, and had been regarded as a respectable young woman. ~ Up to the Ist about 11,000 colored people had come to Indiana from North Carolina, about 450 of whom are voters or will be when they have lived long enough in the State. About 3,500 more are expected. MRs. BRIDGET McGINNIS, an aged Indianapolitan, was found dead in her rooms the other morning, in the midst of surroundings indicating great poverty. She was somewhat addicted to intemperance, and is supposed to ‘have been dead at least three days. Two YOUNG men of Lawrenceburg bought a bottle of whisky, on Christmas, and went to ‘the old bed of the Miami River toenjoy them‘selves, where also they fell asleep. Next morning the youngest found it impossible to arouse his companion, and proceeded home alone. It is now supposed the missing man froze to death where he lay and that the sudden rise in the river swept the body away, as the tree under which they were lying is now six feet under water. i : - DURING last year' the Governor of Indiana fssued sixty-five pardons, twenty-seven remissions and three commutations of sentence. THE other day the Indianapolis Township Trustee gave a grocery order and .a load of coal to a well recommended man and wife living in the southern part of the city.

A FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT, Appalling Accident Near Dundee, Scotland—An Entire Train of. Cars Containing Nearly 100 Passengers Hurled Through a Broken Bridge ~lnto the Frithof Tay—Not One of the ‘Passengers or Employes of the Train Survives the Disaster. . LONDON, December 29. A portion of the bridge across the Frith of Tay was blown down while a train from Edinburgh to Dundee was crossing at fourteen minutes past seven o’clock last night. A dispatch says that the train was bound for Dundee, and had arrived safe at the south end of the bridge crossing the Frith of Tay, shortly after seven o’clock. The bridge was intact © at" the- time, for signals ' were given to allow her to cross. - The wires were interrupted a few ~minutes thereafter, and no further communication could be obtained. The gale was so strong that " the "steamboats were unable to reach the scene of the disaster, but several mail-bags have been washed ashore, four miles from the bridge, and there is no doubt that the train is in the water. Large quantities of wreckage and clothing and six London mail-bags for Dundee and Aberdeen drifted ashore, and by ‘nine o’clock all the "beach was strewn with the remains of broken carriages and pieces of bridgework. A dispatch from Edinburgh, dated at four this morning, says: “The portion of the bridge which fell consisted of several large superincumbent girders at the central and navigable portion of the river, which averages from forty to forty-five feet in depth. The train\ would fall about eighty-eight feet before reaching the water. Some time elapsed before the nature of the disaster was ascertained. The damage to the wires on the bridge and the badness of the weather interfered with the transmission of news, and it is unknown whether the girders were blown down before the train entered the bridge or were carried away with it, and it will probably never be ascertained, as there are no survivors:. The bridge was only open for traffic in May, 1878. It was’ considered a triumph of engineering skill. 1t was about two miles long and had eighty-five spans, the widest of which was 245 feet. At the highest point it was 130 feet above high water.” ’ The train left Edinburgh at 4:15 in the afternoon. It consisted of four third-class, one first-class and one second class, and the brakeman’s van.' At the last station before entering the bridge the tickets were taken and the train was then crowded. & . " Vast quantities of wreckage, such as doors and Tcofs of carriages, pieces of the bridge and articles of wearing ap--parel are comini ashore. - . ' ~ The entire thirteen girders of the long central spans of the bridge are gone. . ; = The night was one of bright moonlight, but the wind was blowing a hurricane. ; ‘ The Provost of Dundee and a party of citizens who accompanied him in a steamer to the scene of the disaster have retéine‘d. Search was made about the bridge)in small boats, but no trace of any survivors could be found. The f;ap in the bridge is about lialf a mile ong, comprising eleven of the longest spans, each 245 feet in length, and one ‘Span 145 feet in length. ~ = ; A later dispatch from Dundee asserts that the iumber of lives lost does not exceed ninety. The bodies of six vietims have been recovered. G —A woman’s rite—The marriage ceremony. .
