ROBBERY ON THE STEAMER OHIo.-On
Friday morning, very early, several rooms
of the steamer Ohio were entered by thieves,
through the assistance of OUTSIDERS and
number of passengers relieved of their ex.
ira change. A gold watch was also taken.
The captain saw their movements, and was
suspicious Of them; but he being sick,' was
unable rise or make sufficient noise 10
awaken the passengers. The thieves asked
him what he wanted. and gave him drink
at his request. He thinks he will recognize
the scoundrels should he ever chance to
meet them again. Gin. Gaz.
lLLUsTRATIoN.-S Rusk, referring
to the fact that any proposition brought be-
fore Congress now, is sure 10 produce vast
number Of political speeches and large
amount oil political capital, said that the fact
called 10 his mind an incident. lie was
present on one occasion at an Indian talk
when man drove up with barrel Of whis-
ky. An old Indian who was sitting by,
fixed his eye on the barrel, and after look
ing earnestly for some time, asked Mr.. R. if
he knew what was in thai barrel? He said
it was whisky, he presumed. "No," said
the Indian, "there about a thousand songs
and GJty fghts!"
ANOTHER USE FOR TELEGRAPH WIRES
Scientific investigation and practical expert
ment have demonstrated The ability Of the
magnetic Telegraph wires 10 ring, at the
same moment, all of the bells distributed in
various sectors of our city, for the very
useful purpose Of fire alarms. This fac,
suggests another idea, namely: tha, Of light
ing all the gas lamps in the city by the same
means of telegraph wire. Very simple
machinery only would be required TO turn
the cock Of the gas pipe, and, simultaneous
ly with The escape Of the gas, to apply the
electric spark. This experiment would
prove an economy to the city; and would
also prove another triumph TO scientific art
which has been already applied successfully
to the business of every day life. So says
the Boston Commonwealth.
