A new and destructive diatimper has broken out among horses in New York, and is spreading rapidly, especially among work horses.

Secretary Lincoln alll ask Con- . «Te»-s when it assembles to define tbe -statu* ot the Signal Service and that it be entirely reorganized. The apple crop of Maine this year Is enormous, the quali.y of the' fruit is • superb. and farmers are getting $3 a barrel for it at their own doors. The Czar is paving the way to important reforms in local self-govern-ment, which government is a redeeming feature in the Russian system. - 4 It is decided that tbe corruption of' ‘ the Cochituate water with which B-*-ton is supplied is due to the presence of enormous numbers of dead eels. A crank who bad been writing threatening let'em to Jay Gould, was trapped and arresed ' Sunday. He •‘fessed up” and was put out ot harm * *»y- ‘ At Deadwood, I'l uraday morning, the thermometer marked fF below Bern, and yet tbe people es Dakota want to .snuggle up to the Union Ugh!

The cases in tthe Irish Land Court have been piled up to the number of over 40,000, and there appears to be danger that the court will be smothered under the immensity of its burden. Thr grand jury at Indianapolis has returned indictments against the leading publishers of newspapers in that city, for publishing lottery advertisements in violation of a provision of the new code. • The Irish people pay about $90,000.OCO for rents every year, and it is estimated that at least $75,000,000 of this vast sum goes out of that country to be spent in riotous living in the great cities of Eutope. , The strength of the regular British army—including the regular troops in India and the colonies—is 296,000 men; of the militia, 126.000 men, and of the reserves, 42,000 men.

The Mayor and, Board of Public Works of Cincinnati, have approved an ordinance for the appointment of au Inspector of Furnaces, and requiring all users of steam and other. furnaces to provide tome satisfactory method of preventing the smoke nuisance, which has grown to such magnitude by the use of soft coal. A leading furniture establishment of Cleveland has been given the contract by the relic bureau to manufacture articles from the lumber used in the Garfield catafalque. They enter bonds in the sum of SIOO,OOO not to manufacture from lumber other than that used at the obsequies. The articles will Le sold for the benefit of the Garfield monument fund.

California a curious case at law as follows: “Olive and Henry Wood,'of Santa Clara county, had been married and divorced. ‘He courted her a second time, and promised to marry her, but did not live up to his vows; She became a mother, and sued him for S2O 000 damages for breach of promise. Judgement was given by by default for $5,000, and the case api>ealed t® the Supreme Court, which affirmed the decision of the lower court.” i A movement has been started by railroad authorities to induce the use of tfie word “station” instead of “depot” . in reference to passenger buildings and conveniences. Station is the English word that correctly describes such places, while “depot” is a French word meaning “a place of deposit” The reform suggested is desirable. Let us all speak and write “station" instead of “depot” The price of potatoes is rapidly declining in New York city, and it is to be hoped that an elimination of the ficticious, speculative value of all provisions will speedily follow. The legitimate advance in the price of the necessaries of living, caused by crop failures and tbe law of supply and demand, is a sufficiently heavy burden upon the wages classes, without the addition of forced values caused by speculation.

The Holy Synod of the Russian issued a Jecree forbidding priests to refuse the rites of religion in the cases of persons whose deaths bava notoriously been caused by the excessive use of spirituous drinks. It is stated that from time immemorial the R-AMiian clergy have l>een accustomed •to class such deaths with suicides, and as such have declined to give the body Christian burial. Senob Emilio Cabtelab, in the course of a speech in theHpanbh cones tbe other day, said in describing tbe various forms of government, in tones of deep emotion that thrilled through tbe bouse and galierwM, alluding to Presklent Garfield: . “How can ws terget that noble chief of a free people who fell at his post of herw/r, a martyr to duty, after an honorable ar»d brave career, an example of republican fortitude, and tern by tbe hand of a cowardly aasaasin from hl* devoted wife, bls loving children, hl* true colleagues and a great nation.”

The Churchman shows that even though the lamented Garfield’s life was cut short at apparently the very zenith of its glory, yet It was grandly complete: If it was Mr. Garfield’* ambition to build for hlmael! a wider fame than man ever be fore gained, be succeeded, If M-was Mr. Garfield's ambition to build in himself a kingly example of private and public virtues, he succeeded. If it was Mr. Garfield’s ambition Io serve hi* country in bi* Hl* and In hU death, be succeeded. If it was Mr. Garfield's ambition to die In such a manner that all g<x>j men may well envy him, he succeeded. A Washington *j»eci*l say*: “The government baa some ten or twelve letters written by Gulteau to President Garfield, some of them demanding tbe Austrian mission or the oonsul-gener-•hhlp at Paris, atd others (threatenlng 14* ip® unl'-es bls demands arstcoeded k, Tbeegistgnnepf Vhgae letter* has

f been kept a profound secret, and their production will undoubtedly create a decided establish the fact that the murder was premeditated several weeks before the fatal 2d of July, and was the result of a deliber ately formed purpose.” Prince Bismarck appears to be preparing himself for the part of “awful example” in a German movement for temperance reform. Here is his reported bill of fare anef fluid for one dinner: |Onion soup with port wine, a saddle of wild boar together with beer; upon this, Irish stew, turkey, chestnuts, all washed down with red wine at discretion; finaly dessert, in which pears are conspicuous. The Prince is exceedingly fond of trout and hard-boiled eggs. His favorite drink is said to bo porter mixid with champagne, though be has a strong liking for a compound invented by Von Moltke, consisting of hot tea, sherry and champagne.”

A curiOUß conflict his risen between the Administration and the office of the Public Prosecutor at Moscow relative to the right of parents in Russia to imprison their children, and a commission has in consequence been appointed to inquire into the subject. The article of the penal c >de Under which this power is exercised, limits the confinement to from two to four months in a public prison. Tbe Russian Journals state that the absolute authority of tbe parentsis not tempered by any mitigatiug word, though the edition of the general collection of laws published in 1857 is careful to forbid parents selling their children, and the civil code now in force solemnly reminds them that they have no power over their lives.

During the days that the body of President Garfield lay in state in Cleveland a woman annoyed the wid ow and the friends with whom she was then staying, by most presistent efforts to get Queen Victorla’B wreath and some of the other floral relics from the catafalque, for the purpose, as then represented, of embalming and preserving the flowers for Chicago ladies to present to Mrs. Garfield. She was frequently rebuffed, but finally procured a card from Stanley Brown to the Mayor of the city, irom whom she succeeded in getting a number of the floral pieces. She took them to Chicago, and now has advertised them for, sale, claiming to have paid several thousand dollars for them.

A Washington special eays: “It is more than probable that the action of the court to-day finally and forever disposes of the star route prosecutions. In every care, with but one possible exception—that of Dorsey—the statute of limitation Intervenes and bars any criminal proceeding. The counsel for the government maintain, however, that the battle which has been go'ng on In the courts for the matter of a week is but a mere preliminary skirmish, and that behind it they have sufficient evidence to make a ease by regular proceeding before the grand jury for presentment aud indictment. Still, however, the current of opinion is that tbe last has been heard of the star route business.” .

The capture of the wculd-be-black-mailer of Jay Gould,a New York paper eays, was one of the cleverest bits of police work that has been accomplished in a long time. It having been observed that all the letters from tbe blackmailer passed through Station E. Inspector Byrnes secured from Postmaster Pearson the services of fifty letter carriers for one day, and every letter-box in tbe district was watched by one letter carrier and one detective, both in citizen’s dress. When any person deposited a letter in the box, tbe carrier instantly opened the box, and it was arranged that if the letter wa.one addressed to Jay Gould, tbe carrier should raise his hat as a signal to the officer, who was in the meantime to keep the person in view. By this clever device the bird was finally caught, and is likely to learn that the way of the blackmailer is hard.

An Italian law court has just bad to decide a case of great interest to fowls. The Duca di Lavella and his brother, the Marchese di Ban Marco, had patented an instrument, called “tbe mechanical stufter,” for feeding and fattening fowls against their will. The Italian Society for the Prevention of Cruely to Animals prosecuted the two noblemen before the tribunal of Naples, and-they were sentenced to a fine, the Judge remarking that he thought it was certainly cruel to make fowls eat when they were not hungry, and to fatten them grossly for tbe mere delectation of epicures’ palates. But the Duke and Marquees appealed against, this decision, and tbe Judges of the higher court, while regretting that they had to give up a whole day to what they described as a trivial ques tion, felt bound to reverse the finding of the lower court. They decided, in fact, that to fatten fowls with a mechanical stutter is not cruel.

A gentleman of much intelligence and trustworthiness, who has just arrived from Panama, gives a very gloomy account of the state of things at the Lesaeps canal. Tbe death rate 1* alarming, especially among foreigners. Of 200 Frenchmen sent out within the last few weeks, and who arrived rijddy and vigorous, eighty-five had died when be left, and nearly all the <rth*r* were In hospital. The Gallio immigrantsail take brandy and absinthe to excess, under the mistaken Impression that it will enable them to withstand the climate, while it has precisely the opposite effect, and hastens tbe coming of their certain doom. Alutrleans will not be templed by any wages to remalm. The only workman who can withstand ibe horror* of Um beat and rains are the West Indian negroes and those from around C*rthagena. Of course, these men will not work like English or French navvies, and can command, neverihefcw, I heir own prices. Tbecomeq icnce h that work estimated to emu three cents a foot has cost fl 60. TheHtate authorities of Indiana will t y tp make the mutual benefit life insurance societies pay the deposit of SIOO,OOO to the State Treasurer, the same a* commercial insurance companies.

Steers weighing from 1,200 to 1,700 pounds lest suit the British butchers, as they can cutup tbe carcasses of such most economically for their customers, and tbe sizes of the j ieces are more acceptable toXhem. Dr. Nichols, in the Juornal of Chemistry, tells just how to reduce nones with ashes for fertilizing purposes. He says: “Break 100 pounds of bones into small fragments and pack them in a tight cask or box w th 100 pounds of good wood ashes which have been previously mixed with twenty-five pounds oi dry, water-slacked lime and twelve pounds of powdered sal soda. Twenty gallons of water will saturate the mass, and more may be added as required. In two or three weeks the bones will be soft enough to turn out on the barn floor and be mixed with two buthels of good soil.” Colonel Thomas Fitch, of New London, Conn., hazards the opinion in a letter to the Boston Traveller that more than half the cows recorded in the “gilt-edged register” of the American Jersey Cattle Club “will not give on an average ten quarts of milk daily, or make one pound of butter per day for three months,” and, referring t J the recent sale of the bull Polonius for $4,500, and “a more ordinary looking thirteen year old cow at $3,000,” of “the Alpbea craze strain of blood,” he uses this emphatic exhortation: “Down with such wild cat theories, and give us good blood at fair prices and less humbug.”

She is lively and spitituelle, like Erin’s bright daughters in general, and became by those qualities alhne one of the leaders of London society. Opinions were divided as to the place she was entitled to hold in respect of beauty, for ber rival was powerful and found her claims to the first place as “professional” supported by the taste expressed by royalty; but concerning the superiority of intellect there was not the slightest difference of opinion. Rutbin Castle the seat of Cornwallis West.bas always been enlivened with all sorts of dramatic entertainment, in which the lady of the castle takes the leading part with the greatest talent and ease, while her low-browed classical riva could never sustain a conversation with any degree of interest. She is still young enough to justify pretententions to witch the world with her loveliness, having been born during the Crimean war, and christened by the odd name of Eupatoria. Her style of beauty is in direct contrast with that of her rival-laughing, sparkling, blonde and piquant. Her arrival at Washington will be an event at that city, and serve not only to waken up thed.piomatio corps from the droning ennui of its commonplace routine, but will serve to protect her honorable kinsman during the Beige which he will surely have to sustain against the American “gurlls” always on the watch and ready to pounce upon a diplomatic bachelor.

A Bee and a Goldfish.

Boston Journal. A certain restaurant in this elty, apparently to proclaim the unlimited resources of its culslue, has in its show window a huge tank, wherein glittering goldfish, sullen horned pouts, dignified bullfrogs and sprawling turtles dwell together in a greater or lees degree of amity. The other day a bee fell into the water and was solemnly gobbled by a goggle-eyed fish. Hardly bad the insect been engulfed, however, when the fish was seen to be strangely excited. He leaped into the air, drew in great volumes of water and blew them out again, and acted so insanely that the turtles scuttled away in hot haste, and the frogs tumbled off the rocks tn right and left in sheer consternation. Meanwhile the bee reappeared and crawled out of the tank in safety, evidently congratulating itself as it dried its wings upon its possession of a sting and the presence of mind necessary to use it to advantage in an emergency.

According to a Milanese journal, the prefect of one of the first cities of Italy who is a rich landowner, has, in this civilized age, resorted to a feudal custom, obliging his field laborers to wear an iron muzzle during the grape harvest, io prevent them from tasting a few bunches of grapes. The fact was noticed last year, and yet the said prefect still represents the government.
