THE GREAT YACHT RACE.

The long-talked-of, much-discussed, and with-great-
difficulty-arranged match between the American yacht
Sappho and the English yacht Cambria has ended in a
complete muddle, and we shall probably now have once
more one yard of correspondence for every mile sailed.
There were to be three heats, and in the first the Sappho
won easily. The Cambria made some alterations in her
bowsprit in preparation for the second, but asked the um-
pires in vain for " a dead beat to windward," instead of a
half-point off the wind," and, growing sulky under pres-
sure, refused to. start, so the Sappho walked over the
course. On the merits of the question we are not com-
petent to express an opinion, but it certainly seems as if
a fair yacht race were one of the hardest things in the
world to arrange. In horseracing the one inequality
which has to be provided for is age, and this is readily
met by weight ; but yachtracing seems to be somewhat
like a race between lions, tigers, dromedaries, elephants,
and buffaloes, and to tell whether the conditions of the race
have been exactly the same for each competitor requires
an amount of study, calculation, and familiarity with two
or three sciences which few men possess, and yachting
men apparently never, if we may judge from the length
and unsatisfactory termination of their disputes.

A Tale of Repudiation.

A short time since some citizens of the State of
lowa.. visited. EnTlancl to invite subscriptions
for a large number of 8 per Cent. Bonds of
the Des Moines Valley Railroad, and their representa-
tions were most attractive. But advices were subse-
quently received showing that the State of lowa has
for a number of years persistently pursued a career of
repudiation. According to a leading New York
journal, about fifteen or twenty years agu certain
municipal corporations of the State borrowed money
on bonds to build school-houses, railroads, &c. When
the earliest of these obligations matured, some of the
towns, cities, or counties, were reluctant to pay,
pleading that there was no authority for their issue
under the constitution and laws of the State ;
bat the Supreme Court of lowa held that the in-
debtedness was legally made, and therefore binding.
In the course of a few years a larger amount of these
bonds became due, and the same tribunal adjudged
them to be illegally issued, whereupon some of the
bondholders brought suits in the Federal Courts, the
judge assigned to which confirmed the last decision
of the Supreme Court of lowa. In due course the
case worked its way to the Supreme Court of the
Unit,ed States, which held that the legal issue of the
bonds having been admitted, it was a disgraceful
line of conduct on the part of the lowa cor-
porations to repudiate the payment. Judgments
were entered in the Federal Courts for the amounts
due on which the Marshal returned nulla bona. The
Federal Circuit Court was applied to for a manda-
mus, directing the delinquent corporation to raise the
amount by taxation, but this was refused. It was
then carried to the Supreme Court, which decided
that the people of the counties and municipalities
concerned must meet the bonds, and that the officers
of the court would be supported by the Federal
arms. So far, so good, but English money-lenders
will doubtless know how to meet the next "advances"
of the people of lowa.

STRANGE EXPERIMENTS.

Some remarkable experiments on living animals are
described by M. Taine in his lately issued book, "De
l'lntelligence." The first is thus detailed :—" Insert in
the back of a rat the end of its own tail, having first
pared it raw with a bistoury; it will heal and take root.
As soon as the graft is complete, amputate the tail
about one-third of an inch from the old root. The rat's
tail will thenceforward grow the reverse way and out of
the back. During the first three months the rat will
evince very feeble signs of feeling when the tail is pinched.
At the end of six or nine months the sensitiveness of the
part will have much increased, but the animal will not
yet be able to guess where he is pinched. After a year
he will, however, be completely up to the trick, and will
turn to bite the pincers." Thus it is proved that experience
must intervene before an animal can localize his sensa-
tions ; and that the irritation of the nerves which before
the operation travelled in the centripetal, subsequently
has effect in the centrifugal direction. The other
experiment is similar, but still more ingenious :—" If you
amputate the paw of a young rat, partially skin it, and
introduce it through the skin of another rat's side, it will
engraft, take nutriment, grow, and acquire
all the ordinary parts of its structure, as if it
had remained with its former pr •prietor." M. Taine's
conclusion is also worthy of note. " Such is
the vital function ; saving ulterior obstacles, that
is to say, provided the medium is suitable, it works blindly,
lets it aim be useful, useless, or even hurtful. It is the
same with the mental function ; saving some impediment
or paralysis in the cerebral lobes, as soon as a sensation is
experienced, perception or affirmative judgment follows ;
it matters not whether that judgment be false or true,
salutary or hurtful, even although the hallucination which
sometimes constitutes the judgment should lead on to
suicide and destroy the normal harmony that adjusts our
actions to the course of the universe."

TERRIBLE STORY.

A dreadful case was heard at the Dudley Police-court,
on Wednesday. Two men named Williams and Cox,
besides another not in custody, were charged with an out-
rage on Emma Turner. Emma Turner, the prosecutrix,
stated that she was the wife of John Turner a labourer,
but lived apart from him, at a cottage in the Castle Fields.
She had her daughter, a girl about four years old, with
her, and they alone occupied the cottage spoken of.
About one o'clock on the previous morning some men
rapped at her door, and asked to be supplied with
pop (ginger beer). She was in bed at the
time on the ground floor. There was no other house
within 100 yards. Upon being told that there was no pop
ready, one man called to her to open the door, but she re-
fused. They again demanded admittance, saying that
they would not hurt her, to which she replied that she
did not intend they should while she could help it. A
stone was then flung through the window and the
men went away. She got up out of bed, and partly
dressed herself, fearing the men might return. An
hour afterwards, as near as she could judge,
the prisoners and the other man again came
and demanded admittance. She positively refused this,
and tried to prevent their entrance by putting a chair
against the door. They continued to strike the door, and
said, " You may as well open the door ; if you don't we'll
burst it open;" and one of them picked up a stone and threw
it through the window. At that time witness was pressing
the chair against the door, and the men were shouting to
her to know where she was. The men began to
strip the window, and actually tore away the supports.
Witness left the chair behind the door, and rushed to
the chimney, where she picked up an axe. She was again
asked to open the door, and upon her refusal they
pelted her with stones through the window. One of these
struck her on the side of the head, and caused a wound.
One of the men then put his head through the window,
and tried to force his way in. Witness rushed at him and
struck him on the head with the axe. He fell back on the
outside, and another man presented his head. She struck
again, but she thought without effect, for the pressing
against the chair behind the door and the loss of blood
from her head had so unnerved her that the axe fell from
her hand. Williams then got through the window. She
struck him I.lst because he did not fall back. After he was
in the cottage Williams took hold of her and carried her
to the door. A large stone at the moment broke away
the lock and the other men came in. She was then
knocked down and dragged out of the house by the hair
of her head, into a field, by Williams and the man not in
custody. Suffice it to say that the crime in question was
committed. The prosecutrix gave her evidence clearly,
although Friffering much from weakness. The case was
adjourned.

HOLIDAYS AND INTEMPERANCE.

The Standard says that on the morrow of such a holi-
day as that of Epsom a question is apt to suggest itself,
for which we wish a satisfactory answer could be
obtained.: What are the causes which conduce on a
large scale to the temperance or intemperance of
nations ? Is natural climate the only physical cause
of extreme desire for stimulants ? Alas ! the arti-
ficial climate of the miserable garrets and cellars and
work-rooms in which so large a portion of our popula-
tionlive is tenfold worse as an incentive to strong drink
than all the mists of Scotland or the snows of Russia.
Here it is, in the vitiated atmosphere, laden with the
emanations of unhealthy bodies, amid the reeking odours
of bad drains, stale tobacco, and all things • coarse
and foul —here it is that the worst thirst is awakened.
Quite apart froM all those classes of what may be
called regular drunkards are those who, on festive
occasions, such as the Derby-week, partake of the
" refreshments " of the very non-refreshing kind usually
contained in hampers, or obtainable at public-
house bars, till " freshness " becomes either quarrel-
some folly or dead stupidity ; and they terminate
the day's pleasure in a police-station. This a most
lamentable feature about English amusements. Between
one cause and another our poor holiday maker finds his
rare day's pleasure end in a night's pain and a morrow's
shame: When will he be persuaded to learn how to take
the pleasure, and save himself the pain and the shame?

SKETCH OF A BRIGAND CHIEF.

The Times Athens correspondent, who has enjoyed
very speoial information on the subject of the late massa-
cres in Greece, furnishes a remarkable sketch of Takos
Arvanitakos, the leader of the murderous band. He and
his six brothers belong to the Vollock nationality. Takos
and his brother Dinos were two of the inhabitants
of Mount Pindus who joined the Greek officers
in King Otho's service when they invaded Epi-
rus at the commencement of the Crimean war, and
were put forward by the Greek Government as representa-
tives of the suffering Christians who were goaded into in-
surrection by Turkish oppression. When the Hellenic
invaders retired into Greece carrying off 10,000 head of
cattle and 40,000 sheep which were robbed from the
Christian subjects of the Sultan Takos and Dinos
became drovers and cattle stealers, like Rob Roy. In the
year 1857 Takos was at Athens where he had a powerful
protector. But at some period between that year and
1860 he went by another name than Arvanitakos, and was
engaged as a brigand in lifting the sheep and cattle which
his more peaceful brothers sold, and in robbing,
murdering, and ransoming men, women, and children.
Through the influence of the men who used brigands from
time to time as the representatives of oppressed orthodoxy
and calumniated Hellenism, he obtained an amnesty and
was employed with good pay in the corps of guides, which
accompanies the troops who are sent in pursuit of
• brigands. As Takos knew very little of the topography
of the Hellenic Kingdom at that time, the
appointment was One of those jobs which have
demoralised the civil and military administration --of
Greece. Takos was merely kept in leash to be let loose at
a convenient opportunity as a bloodhound, to advance the
party, political, or patriotic schemes of his patrons.
After an interval he obtained his discharge, either because
he thought he could do better by resuming the profession
of a brigand than by continuing to serve as a military
guide, or because lie was wanted by the agitators
of "The Great Idea" to figure as an oppressed
Christian when Epirus was to have taken up arms to aid
the war of annexation in Crete. The dangerous charac-
ter of Takos was so well known that the shepherds of
his own nationality secretly made anxious demands to an
officer under whom he has served that his discharge
should not be granted. This officer represented to
the Minister of War that Takos was an amnestied brigand
and a dangerous character, and stated that it would be
well to refuse his discharge, and prudent to keep a strict
watch over him. The recommendation of the officer was
disregarded, and the influence of the patrons of Takos at
at the War Office obtained his discharge. This is the
career in Greece of a man whom the Government of M.
Zaimis is telling us with noisy reiteration came into
Greece as a chief of brigands from Turkey in the month
of January of the present year.

The French committee for the construction of a
'Monument to Lamartine at MAcon has decided upon
erecting a statue in the Place. cl'Armes. It is to be 10ft

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1870.

the trumpet-tongued clamour of the officious an,d
pretentious. Since the record of the three wise
men of Gotham, whose business transactions in the
great waters were not of a very extensive character,
there has never been a chronicle of greater absurdity
and utter failure than that of the Fenian march to
Can.ada. As if it was not enough to hear of the
heroic invaders flying at the sight of the enemy and
abandoning their position before they were attacked,
the next news was that they were in a desperate
hurry to return whence they came. They were right
so far that they were out of their element ; but it
really was such a lame and impotent conclusion to
all the fuss and excitement. Doubtless it may all
turn out lot the best, and when wilful and per-
verse persons, who go under the soubriquet
of enthusiastic patriots lament the sad fate of the
' martyrs of the ClerkenWell prison, and the durance
vile that is endured by Ireland's noblest sons, they
will turn a deaf ear to tholes who talk of the Domi-
nion invasion, and be very blind to the doings of
this campaign.. Long will the memory of this hair-
brained expedition dwell in the memory of those who
were at all concerned in the affair. The spectacle
was like that of 4 dissolving view, just when attention
was most riveted and curiosity existed, all vanished
away, and an ignoble return to ordinary life ensued.
It would puzzle the ingenuity of the editor of the
Flag of Ireland to find anything heroic in the affair.
The imagination that evoked the grand idea of
the "Fenian Raid" being an "Irish Nemesis" must
be content to renounce all further effort in the con-
templation of the before and after of the occurrence.
Ireland has a real grievance to complain of if these
are the exponents of her wrongs and the defenders
of her rights, and may well exclaim •' Save me from
my friends." " To conquer or die " was supposed to be
the feeling with which they entered on the engage-
ment, but the realisation was very different. The
touch of Canadian soil produced a marvellous effect on
their minds, and all their anxiety was to get back
again. The star of the Fenians was said to rise in
America, and it has certainly set in the land of the
West. Canada has the proud satisfaction of having
put an effectual extinguisher upon them, and shown
the want of vitality and vigour which is their dis-
tinguishing failing. Let us hope that we have heard,
nearly the last of the Fenians and, their foolish under-
takings. But at any rate if they persist in obtrud-
ing themselves much longer on public notice
they will find out the unwelcome truth
that they are despised where they were
once extolled, and scouted instead of magnified.
The imagination of their admirers would have us
believe their efforts to be sublime, but experience
has shown that they have taken what in reality is
supposed to be the next step, and identified them-
selves with the ridiculous to such an extent that if
they escape oblivion it must be by accepting it as
their associating attribute.

THE AGE OF GOLD.

The Golden Age, if not of literature, of the literary
profession, is the golden age we live in. Time was when
the highest literary men were little better than beggars•
Now we'might name a host of them on both sides of the
Atlantic who, in their estates, incomes, and expenditures,
are among the nabobs of the land. Dickens, for instance,
makes a pleasure excursion to and through a part of the
United States, and from a series of evening readings of
his own fancy sketches he returns to England richer than
he was by two hundred and fifty th msand dollars. And
now Disraeli, as a diversion from the cares of State, writes
a novel. and for the English copyright pockets ten thou-
sand pounds, or fifty thousand dollars. " What's in 3
name ?" asks the simple-hearted Juliet. Why, Signorina,

mine in it in this golden age of light reading.—New York

Cardinal Cullen.

It has more than once been rumoured that the
Roman Catholic Primate, having been elected a
cardinal, has been granted at Dublin Castle, a pre-
cedence over the archbishops of the Irish Church.
No more erroneous report could be circulated; and it
is well, therefore, that the public should know that
in 1849 an order issued by her Majesty assigned entry
into Dublin Castle to the Roman Catholic Primates and
to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin next
after and below the Archbishops of the Established
Church. This rule has ever since been ad-
hered to, and there is no reason to believe
that, because the Irish. Church is disestablished, it
will be departed from. On the authority of Sir
Bernard Burke, Ulster-King-at-Arms at Dublin, it
is stated that Cardinal Cullen, being a British sub-
ject, is not entitled to any precedence in right of his
office, in these islands. He is still recognised, and
will continue to be recognised, merely as an Arch.
bishop.

Law not Equity.

Mental aberration is, by common consent, the
most deplorable of all the manifold afflictions from
which humanity suffers, and it is certainly not an
evil which any, one would lightly or knowingly incur
for the sake of pecuniary gain. It is, therefore,
not a little singular to find it positively
asserted by no mean authority that this calamity de-
prives the sufferer and his relatives of their claims
for help. More especially is this dictum to be mar-
velled at when the assistance demanded is not
eleemosynary,but only the fruits of prudent investment.
On what grounds the claim made on behalf of a lunatic
member of a sick fund is incorrect and illegal it is
impossible for ordinary minds to understand, inas-
much as madness, more than any other ailment, un-
fits the. sufferer for providing for himself or his
•family. Why, then, should an arbitrary rule
bar him and them from profiting 33 the
prudent accumulations of his sane days ? Yet the
late Mr. Tidd Pratt, the well-known Registrar of
Friendly Societies, not only decided against the ap-
plicant in a case of this sort, but endorsed his decision
by the emphatic declaration tliat any payment made to

The English Exodus.

Among the benevolent-minded ladies who at-
tended at the platform of the St. Pancras Station, on
Wednesday, to brighten the departure of the last
party of emigrants who have left London,
were the Countess of Gainsborough, the Hon.
Elizabeth Waldegrave, the Hon. Mrs. Hobart,
and Miss Verney. Three hundred and fifty
men, women, and children, were entertained by these
noble-minded women at a parting festival in one of
the large waiting-rooms of the terminus. A. tea-
table had been spread, and presents of provi-
sions to the women and toys to the
children were distributed plentifully at it. Encou-
raging speeches were made to the emigrants by
Mr. White, the emigration commissioner from
Canada, and some of the ladies, and thanks were
returned by several of the men, some of whom stated
that they had " begged hard for work " before they
resolved to start for a new life in an England
where starvation was unknown. When the
station master gave wariing that the train
was about to start for Liverpool, the
women hastily collected their little ones and
their small bundles, and amid many expressions of
regret at parting, and of hope and blessings in the
new life, and of gratitude for help proffered in an
hour of sore need, the train passed away from Lon-
don. The character of each adult ;in this case was
well known, and none but "respectable hardworking
people" were permitted to enjoy the aid given. There
are thousands of people still in the East-end of London
anxious to escape from a life of prolonged misery and
struggling, and it is, therefore, to be hoped that the
good work in which high ladies of the land are not
too proud to take a part, will be recognised and aided
by the wives of the English gentry and by the gentry
themselves, until the "want of employment" cry
which is heard of so often, and which will once more
be a subject for the "special consideration" of the
House of Commons on Friday, June 17th, will have
ceased, or nearly so, from the land.

PRESIDENT GRANT.

In his speech at the celebration of the ratification of
the Fifteenth Amendment in Baltimore, Postmaster-
General Creswell said :—" It was not permitted that
Lincoln should survive to see this glorious consummation;
but the great Captain in whom he trusted implicitly, and
to whom, in his last speech, he attributed all the honour
of leadership in the stupendous military operations which
closed the war, now by authority of the people occupies
the Presidential chair. In his inaugural address he ex-
pressed a desire for the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment ; and he has ever since shewn his sincerity
by his unceasing labours to accomplish that result. His
anxiety may be gathered from the language of his recent
proclamation, where he declares the ratification to be
' the most important event that has occurred since the
nation had come into life.' To him more than to any
other living man is its final success attributable. The
leading part which he has taken in dedicating the coloured
race to freedom and to the service of our common
country, has crowned his career with the most admirable
triumph of his life, and has fully established the truth of
that saying, once applied to Cromwell, but which Crom-
well lived to verify only in part :
Peace bath her victories
No less renown'd than war.' "

MORE DISTURBANCES LN ITALY.

Some particulars of the insurrectionary movement on
the shores of the Lake of Como are given in a Florence
telegram. The band, numbering about fifty men, and
carrying a flag with the inscription "God and the
People," upon arriving at Casino seized the ammunition
in the Customs guardhouse. The sentinel resisted, and
was taken prisoner, but afterwards released. Pur-
sued by the troops and the Carabineers, the
band took to the mountains ; but when • they
came to Gir'a they found the place occupied .by the
troops, whereupon they retreated to Colico, where they
were again met by the troops and dispersed. The band
comprised some non-commissioned officers who had
deserted from Pavia after the mutiny there. General
tranquillity (the despatch adds) prevails fn Italy ; but
unfortunately a Naples telegram comes to hand with the
information that a fresh Republican band has appeared in
the province of Terra di Lavoro, and there is a rumour
that twenty-five Greek brigands have disembarked on the
coast of Calabria.

CANADA.

COLLINGWOOD, ONTARIO, May 18,

The steamer Chicora arrived at seven o'clock this
evening, having again been refused permission to pass Ste
Marie Canal. Colonel Wollon, commanding the British
forces, waited on General Cooke, in commxid of the dis-
trict, and asked the intention of the American Govern-
ment with regard to the Chicora. General Cooke replied,
" My instructions are absolute ; nothing whatever con-
nected with the Red River Expedition can pass the canal.
I must, therefore, absolutely refuse to allow the Chicora
to pass."

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 19,

The Globe and Telegraph this morning have strong
articles in favour of building a canal on British ground
round Sault Ste. Marie, and that the privileges
now employed by American vessels in Canadian canals
shall cease until the question at issue is adjusted.

With regard to the dispatch from Collingwood, Canada,
received to-day, announcing that the steamer Chicora
had arrived there, having been absolutely refused
permission to pass the Sault Sainte Marie Canal, it
should be stated that the last orders of this Government
had not reached the commandant at the Sault when
the Chicora sought to pass. Ere this the order under
which she was refused has been reversed.-- New York

the representative of an insane person on the ground
of sick money, would subject the secretary of the
society to prosecution for misappropriation of the
funds! Itis no wonder that when this extraordinary
decision was repeated to Mr. Serjeant Wheeler
at Liverpool the other day, when trying
a similar case, he should have declared his
total dissension from it. However, he promised
to examine the decisions on the question before
giving his judgment, and we shall probably learn in
a few days whether this distinction between mens
sana and corpus sanuni is to be included among the
happy inconsistencies of our English law.

The Small-pox in Paris.
The prevalence of small-pox in the French capital
has become so alarming that the epidemic has been
the subject of a question in the Corps Legislatif. It
is stated in the official statistics that 2,935 patients
have been cured from the disease in Paris since
it made its appearance in November last.
692 persons have died, and at present there are
700 sufferers under treatment. The Duc de Can-
mont la Force and Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne
were last week both attacked on the same day. One
of the more remarkable victims who have just
succumbed to the malady is M. Duval, jhe_c,41,47.,,
