THE NEWS CONDENSED.

THE EAST. _ Ok* of the Anarchist strikers in New York City the other da? tw arrested for placing an obstruction in the way of the Third avenue cars. He had a fair trial before an intelligent jury, and was found guilty end sentenced to the penitentiary for sis months by the Judge. It is said that the striker was very much astonished at his sentence, but it is also said that there have been no farther obstructions to the business of the toad. A little firmness and promptness in enforcing the laws is all that is necessary to protect business and property. AT the dose of an all-night meeting of the District Assembly, Knights of Labor, at New York, the action of the strect-car strikers in refusing to accept the terms of the Third Avenue Company was indorsed, and the resignations or Joseph O’Donnell, John Hughes, and Joseph F. Downing, members of the Executive Committee, were requested, tendered,and accepted.. Emily Burton, a colored resident of Newport, R. L, has been sentenced to imprisonment for life for complicity in the murder of her father. The new iron bridge being built at Lyons dole, Lewis County, N. Y,, gave way, precipitating seven workmen and a wreck of twisted iron into Moose River, twenty feet below. Two men escaped by jumping on a pier. One workman, in leaping to an abutment, lost his footing and was fatally injured. The others swam ashore, although some of them had sustained severe injuries .... Ferike Fernandez, a rich Cuban residing at Hawthorne, N. J., was lulled by his wife, who instantly took her own life.

THE WEST.

Some idea as the character of the Chicago Nihilists may be judged from the style of literature supplied by their newspaper organ, the Arbciter "Znlung, which has been suppressed, and its editors, publishers, and printers thrown into jail on a charge of murder. The foUowing passages have been translated into the language of the country from an article in the concluding issue of that unlawful publication:

-The war of classes is at band. Yesterday workingmen were shot down in front of McCormick's factory whose blood cries out for revenge. Who will deny that the tigers who rule us are greedy for tbe blood of the workingman? Many •acrifioes have been offered upon the altars of the golden calf amid the applauding cries of the capitalistic band of robbers. One need only think of Cleveland. New York, Brooklyn, East St. Lonis, Fort Worth. Chicago, and many other places to realize the tactics of these despoilers. _ “Bnt tha workingmen are not sheep, and will reply to the white terror with the red terror. Do you know what that means? You soon will know. “Sooner death than life in misery. If workingmen are to be shot at, let us answer in such a way that the robbers will not soon forget it. “The murderous capitalistic beasts bare been made drunk by the smoking blood of workingmen. The tiger is crouching for a springits eyes glare murderously; it moves its tall impatiently, and all its muscles are tense. Absolute necessity forces the cry: -To arms 1 To anuß!’" These furious words would indicate that the villain who wrote them had foreknowledge of the tragedy that the assassins enacted the evening of the day on which the publication appeared. The machinery manufacturers of Chicago contemplate closing their places of business until the employes will agree to accept ten hours’ pay for ten hours’ work. Chicago advices of Friday thus outline the industrial situation in that city; Same of the smaller shops, where iron molders and metal workers are employed, have given eight-hour concessions to their men. but the larger employers, like tbe Crane Brothers, ore still standing out. The wood-workers have agreed upon eight hours, but without extra pay. The bakers haTe bettered their condition, and the brewers now receive full pay with shortened hours of work. The furnitureworkers have won In a few cases, though most of them are out on a strike against a solid organization of manufacturers. At the McCormick works the men are receiving an advance of 15 per cent in wages. There are 3,500 men out at the car-shops of the Chicago and Northwestern, the Hlinois Central, and Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific. All of tbe men at Pullman are still out In the tobacco factories there are 1,000 girls and women working for S 3 to $4 per week. The Eight-hour League will try to benefit them.. The freight-handlers' strike seems b> be growing hopeless. They expect the section men to strike shortly if none of the skilled unions comes to their rescue. The brickyards are working, the owners having compromised the differences between the men and employers. There are strikes at the principal bridge-building works,—The ernjdoyes at the coal and wood yards are nearly all" striking. The furriers are formulating demands to be presented soon. The barbers are trying to have Sunday work done away with, but are not striking!' Every organ factory in the city is shut down, the men being ou£ on strike. The planing mills have started up.—The railroads are trying to-run . without their men, whom they are paying off and discharging. At the soap works of Kirk & Co. GOO persons have obtained eight hours. A hopeful tone pervades many of the striking communities, and they look for the ultimate swoess 61 the eight-hour movement w hen the present excitement has subsided.

Advices from Chicago indicate that the police have broken the backbone of anarchism in that citv. “Polish and Bohemian colonies of the West-Side. * says a dispatch from Chicago of, Friday, “were unnaturally tame yesterday, the only event of a disturbing nature being a successful mill oq the dyuamite roost at the comer of Eighteenth street and Center avenue. Searches were made by the deteetix es in other parts of the city, and a quantity of -■uMistie devices captured. Officer Barrett died at the County Hospital in the mornintr, and Officer Miller expired in hie brother’s arms just before midnight. Late last night the physi-.-iitns at the County Hospital did not think that Officers Jacob Hansen. Nels Hanson. Timotliv Flavin, and Michael Shehan would live till morning. Officer John H.‘ McMahon had his leg amputated. August Spies and his confederates were imprisoned in the County Jail. Ah effort is being made to add treason to the charge of murder against them. The contributions to the fund for the support of the families of the dead and wounded policemen leach uearlv $40.000. August aud Christian Spies, Michael Schwab, and Samnbl Fieldeu. the ringleaders of the Nihilistic plotters, vis .ted the police station tojbiavc their photographs taken for the rogues’ gallery, after which they were locked up again.”—— The police o{ Milwaukee arrested two leading Anarchists —Adam Hirth and a barber namM Call .Simon—who are kept at the Central Station. Their houses were searched end several puns were seized. -Governor Busk obtained from the Rock Island arsenal a Gatling gun and ample ammunition for small arms. Two persons died at Milwaukee of wounds received' in the rioting, and three others are believed to be beyondr ecoverv. Cleveland police circles were excited when it was discovered that during the night the city had been flood<*d with a circular, printed in English and German, calling all workmen to urns to k venge the

killing of some of thieir number in Chicago. One of these circulars was even posted on the front door of the Central Police Station. It is reported. that Parsons is hiding in Cleveland. Mr. Elms Dillon, of Nmoml; 111., the importer of Norman horses, was fatally fenrt by being thrown from a buggy.

The losa in the vie.inity of Springfield, Missouri, is estimated at SIOO,OOO. A water-spout passed down Jacob's Creek, fourteen miles southeast of Emporia, R. 15. Jacobs, a farmer, saw Ihu storm coming. and with bis wife, two young children, and his brother Charles, tried to escape in a wagon,, but they were overtaken by the torrent, which swept away the vehicle and its occupants Mrs. Jacobs and the yonngcr child were drowned. Mr. Jacobs nearly perished in endeavoring to save them. Charles Jacobs saved himself and the other child.

A train on the Fort Wayne Road, while passing the little station of Inwood, six miles from Plymouth, Ind., struck a wagou containing John Wymer, a young fanner, his wile and two daughters, aged J and 4 yeaia respectively. John Wymer and the eldest girl were instantly killed, and the wife and remaining child received injuries from which they will die. The wagon was a complete wreck, and the two horses attached to it were instantly killed.... About one"hundred socialists met at Davenport, lowa, to denounce the capitalistic press. A speaker named Knickrehm alleged that testimony had been manufactured by the Chicago police aguinst the German journalists.. At this moment he was arrested by the Chief of Police and escorted to the* ferry-bont..William H. English, desiring to devote his time to a history of the lawmakers of Indiana, has resigned a bank presidency and leased his hotel aud opera-house.

Eleven deaths have resulted from the recent socialistic riots in Chicago. Five of the dead are policemen, the other six being rioters or innocent spectators. Over $60,000 has been subscribed by the people of Chicago for the benefit of the famines of the slain officers. The feeling ngainst tbe anarchists in that city is very bitter, aud should nnother outbreak be precipitated a bloody example will be made of them. At Milwaukee the disturbances have been suppressed and quiet reigns. The arrested rioters were brought into court and summarily dealt with. Paul Grottkau, one of the leaders, was held to the Grand Jury in $5,000 bail. Four militia companies are held in reserve for any turbulent outbreak iu Cincinnati. The Ohieago police continue their raids upon the anarchists' resons. and men and" arms and red flags, are captured everyday. T. G.

POLITICAL.

Thf. democrats failed to appear in the Ohio Senate on Wednesday last, leaving no •quorum for a settlement of the contest cases. Sonfe of the. Democrats have left the State, and the opinion is expressed that none of them -will return this session nnless a compromise is effected. VTjffi lowa Greenback State Convention met at Cedar Rapids qnd nominated 3. O. Sanks. of Dallas, for Secretary erf State; L. F. Ellsworth, of Mahaska, for Treasurer; J. V. Myers, of Linn, for Auditor; and J. W. Brown, of Cass, for Attorney General. The platform denounces fusion with Democracy as treachery to principle, demands unlimited coinage of silver, and arraigns both old parties for faithlessness to trusts, etc. " ‘ ' Foebteex Democratic members of the Onio Senate occupy a special coach in the Cincinnati Southern yard at Chattanooga, haring fled to escape the Sergeant-at-arms. They declare they will not return until a compromise is effected.

The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote and the new Senators came forward and took the oath of offle;.

GENERAL.

The riot part of the strike in Chicago is virtually over, and “quiet reigns in Warsaw.” Meantime the police continue their raids upon the nests and dens of’the anarchists, and the capture of flags, firearms, knives, and dynamite. The police stations contain large stores of such material. One of the most prominent devices captured was a red banner fully thirty feet long, to which was affixed the iucriplion: “Commune de Paris, 1871,” in gilt letters a foot high. Two more anarchists were arrested Saturday, who had in their possession dynamite. Like all the rest of the cowardly gang, they exhibited great,trepidation on being brought face to face with the laws they, have dared to defy. The “"Coroner's jury, in, the inquest upon the bodies of Policemen Barrett and Mueller, victims of the Nihilistic riot, returned a verdict that the deceased came to their death at the hands of persons unknown, and recommended that the said unknown persons bo apprehended and committed to the County Jail without bail; and that August Spies, Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, and A. R. Parsons be committed ns accessories without bail to the County Jail. Parsons is hiding somewhere in the city. The fund for the relief of the killed and wounded policemen has reached $50,000. Another death has resulted at Milwaukee from the rioting there, making five persons killed by the troops, who have been exonorated by the Coroner’s jury. The labor troubles have paralyzed business Pittsburg. Orders are" being countermanded, contracts broken, and manufacturers refuse to buy stock. The losses on the iron and steel trade will prove a serious blow to that industry. Tfiirty thousand men were idle in Cincinnati, aud an outbreak was deemed imminent, and Governor Foraker ordered four regiments of militia to proceed thither without delay. Herr Most, the New York Anarchist, was said to be in the city plotting mischief. A petition has been sent from Indianapolis to Senator Sherman, asking Congress to appropriate sufficient funds to erect a monument above the grave of General W. H. Harrison, near North Bend, on the Ohio River. About seven hundred members of the Freight-Handlers’ Union of Chicago, after a stormy session of several hours, resolved to declare the strike off. Six hundred hatmakers are idle at Newark, N. J. At Troy 150 molders struck against eleven hours’ work- - per day. Thu bricklayers at Omaha lost the strike and returned to work. Stein way & Sons’ employes disobeyed the fiat of their union to quit work. The street-car drivers and conductors at. Toronto. Canaua, have inaugurated a strike because the companies refused to employ Knights of Labor. The employing metal-workers of Chicago met and resolved to open their shops on the ten-hour basis, as also did the furniture manufacturers and the lumber dealers, none of whom will make auy concessions of any kind to their employes. The briekmakers of Chicago returned to work in a bodV, and other trades are expected to f0110w.... General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, acting under the authority vested in him by the General Executive Board, has issued a call to the various assemblies of the order for a special session of the General Assembly to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday, May 25. Fire at Hull, near Ottawa, Ontaria, destroyed all the houses on Lake and Duke streets and on Main street as far as the corner of Maine and Slide. The new postoffice was destroyed and one hundred and fifty families burned out. The loss will foot up $350,000; insurance small.

FOREIGN.

•A-DIBP,4TOn from Burmoh states that the insurgents have got possession of Mandalay and have destroyed by fire. 4,000 houses. Among the buildings burned were the Chinese and Siamese bazars. The hostility of the natives who remain loyal to the dethrbnged King Theebaw to the Chinese is intense because of China’6 indorsement of Great Britain’s seizure of Burmah. The officers commanding the British forces have telegraphed to Lord Dufi'erin, the Viceroy, V Unit they are.powerless to prevent the. rebellions' rioting of the natives, and have urgently asked for re-enforcements. The London papers comment freely upon the Chicago riots and the struggle between capital and labor. The following excerpts are sent by cable: London Daily Telegraph—There is no need to fear that the law-breakers in Chicago will overpower the police. It becomes us, however, on this side of the Atlantic, to consider how far we are responsible for the savage emeute in Chicago. The saddest charge that can be brought against Mr. Gladstone is that all his administrations have abdicated in Ireland the first function of government, which is to govern. The result is seen in the surrender he fain would make to the Irish irreconeilables in America The Chicago riot has shown ut onew what manner of men thfi supporters of these Irish hills beyond the Atlantic are. London Standard —The Chicago bombs may originally have been intended for the Czar *r the English Home Secretary, but it is impossible to insure thatsuch wares be kept exclusively for foreign consumption wheii riots break out. London Daily Nr ten —The territorial democracy of America will make very short work of anarchist plots once it has been aroused, as it is now likely to be, to action against them. London Daily Times —The riot in Chicago is a sign that Anioricfttn industry has now to contend with all the difficulties which the capitalists of Europe have had to battle with. It shows that Americans may have before them troubles greater than those with which we are familiar. The American labor market is unable to absorb the unlimited number of recruits from Europe. It is a grave fact that America yearly receives a number of restless, unscrupulous spirits from Europe who freely use dynamite and revolver to gain their ends One chance of safety, how- J ever, lies in the fact that Americans are Sot blind to theso dangers, and nurse no visionary hbpes as to the best mode of averting them. THEGreek Government has sent a gunboat to Constantujople to take away the Hellenic Minister. - Greek troops are being harried to the frontier. The Powers have ordered their fleets to blockade the Greek ports. The Government has announced its intention of defending Greek territory against any and all advances by foreign soldiers.

ADDITIONAL NEWS.

During the recent riots in Chicago, Bohemian anarchists sacked and destroyed a drug-store at the corner of West Eighteenth street and Center avenue. It now develops that nearly a dozen Nihilists who participated in the looting of the store have died from drinking poisonous concoctions nnder the belief that they were swallowing tanglefoot whisky. A half-dozen more are sick nigh unto death, and with small hopes of recovery. It also transpired that several of the participants in the riots were buried in the Bohemian Cemetery without permits, which leads to the conclusion that the policemen fired their pistols with better aim and more deadly effect than was at first supposed. The owner of the building occupied by the Nihilistic Arbeiter 'Zetland filed a bill to set aside the lease granted to the backers of the paper on the ground that the contract has been broken by the storage of explosives in the office, and the lease was canceled. At the meeting of the Chicago Methodist ministers resolutions were passed denouncing the rioters.... There is a decided improvement in the labor situation at Cincinnati, and no violence is now anticipated. Labor notes; Nearly every member of the United Nailers, Rollers aud Heaters’ Association, has signed a petition asking for reinstatement in the Amalgamated Association. A strike of bakers at Pittsburg resulted in a bread famine, as the few 6mall establishments in operation can only supply their regular customers. The Ajax Forge Company and the car works of Wells <fc French, Chicago, opened shorthanded at the old rate of wages. McCormick’s reaper works, Chicago, are running with a full force for the tiist time since the strike. Nearly all the railroads opened up at Chicago on Monday with a full force of freight-handlers, and the strike seems to be over. Many of the old men who applied for work were taken back,but some of tbe roads refused to re-employ their old bauds. The Malleable Iron Works, Chicago, started up with 800 men at nine hours’ pay for eight hours’ work. In the Ohio Senate on Monday, the 10th inst., Mr. Van Cleaf (Democrat) moved for a correction of the journal with reference to tbe seating of the four Republicans from Hamilton County, but tlie motion was ruled out of order. He then desired to enter a protest, but the Chair refused to receive it. During a recess of the Senate the journal was stolen, resulting in some excitement. Clerk Vallandigham, however, prepared a new record of the day's proceedings, which was certified to by tbe Secretary of State. During the evening tbe stolen journal was returned to the State Department.. The driving out of the Poles frdm Prussia under the direction of Bismark has begun. The so-called “Germanization”of the Polish provinces is to be accomplished by the simple but efficacious plan of buying up the lands of the Polish landlords aud expelling tbe Polish peasantry. The land is purchased by the Government, about $50,000,000 "being" appropriated for the purpose. When tbe Polish landlord will not agree upon a price he is offered a certain number of years’ rental and is thrust out of the country. Without choice or recourse on his part he ceases to be a land-owner or even an inhabitant of Prussia.' The fate of the peasantry is even severer. With no accumulated surplus to fall back upon in many cases they must go to nnother land and among strangers to seek bread. A resolution offered by Senator Logan, directing tbe Committee on Pensions to report back to the Senate the Ingalls bill, providing for the repeal of tbe limitation on the arrears of pensions, was agreed to by the Senate.. A bill to limit the commercial privileges of vessels belonging to foreign countries which restrict the privileges of American ships was introduced. The some, measure was offered in the House. Mr. Beach <N. Y.) introduced in the House a resolution amending the rules so as to subject to a fine of SIOO evory member who is absent during a call of tho House.

DYNAMITE IN CHICAGO.

An Organized Attack by Criminal and Vicious Men Against Life and Property. Anarchists and Socialists Execute a Deeply-Laid Plan to Destroy and Kill. Fifty Policemen Wounded, Many ©1 Them Fatally—Many of the Mob Slain. Bloody Scenes Almost Rivaling the Paris Commune In the Streets of Chicago.

The result of the pernicious and incendiary doctrines which have boen for several years preached in the streets and halls of Chicago by alien and-criminal agitators, says a Chicago paper of Wednesday, was seen last night, when a dynamite bomb w as thrown into the midst of a squad of policemen who were performing tbeii •worn duty, and sixty of them were dangerously wounded, some fatally. That It was an organized and premeditated* attack admits of. np doubt, and the outgrowth oUhe riot attheMcCormick reaper-works on Monday, when some anarchists were most justly punished for,an attempt to destroy property. Monday night, nftci that not was quelled, the foUowing circular was scattered around the Pity: “Revenge 1 Workingmen, to arms 1 Your masters sent out their bloodhounds, the police; they killed six of your brothers at McCormick’s this afternoon. They killed the poor wretchos because they, like you, had the courage to disobey the supreme will of your bosses. They killed them because they dared to ask for the shortening of the hours of toil. They killed them to show you, ‘free American citizens,' that you must be satisfied and contented with whatever your bosses condescend to allow you, or you will get killed I "Ton have for years endured the most abject humiliations; you have for years suffered unmeasurable iniquities ; you have worked yourselves to death; you have endured the pangs of want and hunger; your children you have sacrificed to the factory lords; in Bhort, you have been miserable and obedient slaves all these years. Why? To satisfy the insatiable greed, to fill the coffers of your lazy, thieving masters. When you ask them now to lessen the burden he sends his bloodhounds out to shoot you, kill J-Out “If you are met, It you ore the sons of your graudsires, who have shed their blood to free you, then you will rise in your might, Hercules, and-destroy the hideous monster that seeks 10 destroy you. To arms 1 we call you; to arms 1 “Your Brothers.” Tuesday afternoon it was followed by the following, which was thrown broadcast throughout the streets es the city: “Attention, Workingmen 1 Great mass-meet-ing to-night, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Haymarket, Randolph street, between Desplaines and Hoisted. Good speakers will be present to denounce the latest atrocious act of the police—the shooting of our fellow-woikmen yesterday afternoon. The Executive Committee.” In response to this, a large crowd of anarchists and socialists assembled at the point indicated, and were harangued by a trio of blatant communists. Tbeir talk was of a most-reckless and incendiary character. One, Sam Fielden, a socialistic Englishman, was the last speaker. Said he: “We who come here to address you are socialists; rebels to the law! Legislation will never help you, never 1 Martin Foran went to Congress in the interest of labor, and yet he tells yon that no legislation can be had for the workingman. Can't we?When the rich man understands that it is not healthy to live among a lot of discontented workmen we shall be able to get legislation and not before.” Fielden continued in this strain until 10:20 p. m„ when 150 police officers left the Desplaines Street Station and marched north on Desplaines. He stopped whep the first line of officers was ordered to halt opposite the wagon from which he spoke. A thousand men had meanwhile gathered. The police marched toward the crowd in platoons, headed by Inspector Ronfteld and Capt. Ward. The line of the first division of officers filled the street from side to side. The police marched into the crowd, sweeping it to the pavements, and pressing it before them. When tho front column reached the speakers’ wagon Inspector Bonfleld ordered “Halt I” Capt. Bonfleld cried: “In the name of the St ite of Hlinois I command this crowd to disperse!" As the words left his mouth a spluttering spark of fire arched through the air from the opening of the alley and over the speakers’ wagon. It was the burning fuse of a dynamite bomb. It was well aimed in its deadly mission. It fell directly in the middle of the street, and between the first two double columns of police. The instant that it struck the ground it exploded with a terrible, sullen roar. It did its deadly work well. Twenty-nine mangled men fell groaning to the ground. The bom b broke the ranks of the officers. Agatlinggun could not have cut a wider swath. A scene of horror followed, tha details of which may never be known. The officers were demoralized and broke ranks. Many huddled “ together In the street and Btood their ’ground. Qtherß fled after and with the crowd. They needed no order to fire. In an instant every man’s revolver was in action, and every man shot to kill. For on instant after the explosion, the crowd seemed paralyzed, but with the revolver shots cracking like the tattoo of a mighty drum, and the bullets singing in tb'ejur, the mob plunged away Into the darkness with a yell of rage and fear. It was almost an indescribable scramble for life. Scores of men were knocked down by those behind them, and trampled upon like cattle in a car, unable to rise. Over twenty wounded persons were picked up and borne away, Those bn the inner circle of the crowd were at the mercy of the police; and were shot down. The police pursued the mob for half a block up and down Randolph street. No man was spared. All who were overtaken by the officers were shot down and clubbed. In a moment after the explosion the streets were cleared,, but within a radius of 100 feet of the spot where the bomb had fallen fully Sixty men lay wounded on the ground. ThoAenter of the street seemod full of writhing, groaning men. calling for help. Under the iron stairway on the northwest corner of the street two citizens lay, one insensible, the other moaning feebly and unable to rise. Down the basement stairway, under them, three men lay. Propped against the lamp-post on the corner was a wounded man, and at his feet, itt the gutter, another. 0 Across the street, on the northwest comer, three men lay in the gutter. At the head of the basement stairway one lay silently. Another sat up, holding a bleeding leg and begging the officers not to kill him. Reclining on the stairs below them were two suffering men, and in the area-way below, three more. East and west on Randolph street wounded men lay in doorways. Within five minutes after-the firing had ceased eight men lay in’the alley, near the wagon, between Randolph and Lake streets. No citizens were dead that had been found within an hour after the riot. For some minutes after the mob had dispersed the police kept up a frenzied search for any who had taken refuge near by. Those who'met the officers calmly were allowed to go, but all who attempted to escape were mercilessly clubbed, . The work of gathering the dead, dying, and wounded was promptly begun. Forty-eight policemen were found to be wounded, eight or ten of them, it Is feared, fatally. The fugitives From the scene of the riot poured into-Madison itreet in an irresistible stream. The open (tores, which here offered the first shelter, were besieged and instantly occupied by breathless and terror-stricken crowds. Close in the rear jf this terrified throng the wounded followed at die best speed their injuries would permit. Men ran at a staggering pace, with the blood trickling through their clothing. Others maned frantically through the street, shrieking with pain. Couples and .small groups came Dragging a wounded friend whom they had the sourage to rescue. Several fell fainting in the itreets and were pioked up by sympathetic men in the crowds. __ rhe General Industrial Situation at Chicago.

Janies 11. or England. James 11. of England was the second son of Charles I. and Queen Henrietta Maria. He was created Duke of York in infancy. He accompanied liis father during the civil war, and was taken prisoner, but escaped, disguised as a girl, in April, 1648, and went over to Holland. He served with distinction in both the French and Spanish armies, and after the restoration returned to England and was made Lord High Admiral of the English navy. In the ensuing war with the Dutch he commanded the English fleet ably. In 1660 the Duke had married Anne, daughter of Edward Hyde, the Earl of Clarendon. In 1671 this lady died, leaving two daughters, both of whom subsequently sat upon the throne of England. Before her death she disavowed Protestantism, through the influence of her husband, who several years before had become a Catholic. In 1673 the Duke was compelled by the conditions of the “test act” to resign the office of Admiral. This same year he married Mary of Modena, a Catholic princess. So strong was the feeling in Parliament and through the kingdom against,, him for his change of religion, that he was obliged to go to the continent to reside for a time, and a bill excluding him from succession to the English crown passed the House of Commons, but failed to pass the House of Lords. He returned, while this bill was peuding and was made Lord High Commissioner of Scotland, but was so unpopular there that he did not remain long. However, in 1685, after liis brother’s death, he succeeded to the throne without opposition. His reign was brief, however, beirig filled with contentions with Parliament and the Established Church. He seemed utterly Avantifig in the tact of lits brother, but. like his unfortunate father, rashly contended for the right of personal government which he believed the “divine right” of a king. In the first year of his reign occurred Monmouth’s rebellion. This was not generally upheld by the people, and was soon overthrown. all those implicated in it beingg punished with great severity., The subseonent acts of the King, his claim to the power of dispensing with laws at his will, and dismissing the Parliament whenever it would not carry out his wishes, convinced the people that his permanent rule could not be tolerated, and in 1688 William of Orange, James’ son-in-law, was called over “to protect the liberties and religion of the English people.” William came, and James was forced to abdicate the throne. James made an effort to regain his crown by undertaking an expedition to Ireland iu 1689. The troops and money for this expedition were furnished by King Louis XIY. of France. The exKing was received kindly in Ireland, but at the battle of the Boyne liis army was totally routed. The remaining eleven years of his life were spent at set. Germain, in r France, in vaifi intrigues for recovering possession of his lost kingdom. —lnter Ocean. ,-„T ~

A rf.ckst study of the geology of the Saguenay, by the AbbcXa Flamme, of Queliec, convinces him that the abysmal gorge of that river owes its depth icr the simple action of the water, continued through such long periods that the canon of the Colorado is called recent in comparison.
