NEWS FROM SICILY.

Frichtfnl Ravages CT the Observation-Disclosures Of the
Inhabitants.
By the bark Ithonia, Capt. Morton, from
Palermo, we have advices to Sept. II.
At Messina the Cholera was making fright
full havoc, taking off from eight to eleven hum
dred per day. On the 10th the report was
that about one-half Of the population had
been carried off.
The disease extended even to animals
mules, cats and dogs dropping dead in tho
streets.
AL, the physicians who had not fallen vic
Tins had fled the city.
The government had issued proclamation
calling for medical volunteers from the
neighboring cities, guaranteeing payment to
them. There were ten who had gone from
Palermo.
On the 18th, 1000 soldiers or convicts had
been sent from Palermo to Messina, to cleanse
the streets and bury the dead.
At Naples, August Ii, the disease had aba
| ted, the deaths amounting to about 300 per
day; and on the 23d, the deaths daily had
decreased to twenty or twenty-five.
At Palermo, on the Goth, about $50 per
day was the number. The whole number Of
deaths at Palermo was estimated at $4,000.
and at Messina at $4,000.

he Rsck River .aa Des Meiaes Rapids.

The Reck River and Des D1eines Rapids.
The work on these Rapids has been sus-
psndsd Tor the season, in CONSCIENCE of the
'coldness Of the weather. The most difficult
obstructions in the Upper Rapids have been
rsm0ved and some four or FIVE feet water OBJ
tanned. At the Lower Rapids an equal amount
Of labor has been performed, but in conse-
quence Of the greater magnitude of the work,
the benefits are not so perceptible.
Some fifty thousand dollars Of former ap-
preparations remain yet unexpended, which
will do to commence upon, the coming year.
But IN additional appropriation of 5000, 900
- needed. Will it be had? That is the
question. Are the great States, lying along
the Mississippi, who are deeply interested in
the removal Of these distractions, to be heard
ct the coming session Of Congress-or are
they still to be betrayed BY their representa-
tivss, and their vital interests bartered for
Presidential votes7 Will the People of the
West be true to themselves-will they require
Of their Representatives, of whatever party
Or creed, an undivided front upon this ques-
tion9 The improvement Of the Mississippi is
national measure, clearly and undoubtedly.
About the propriety and constitutionality of
appropriations for such purposes, no man,
unless looking south of Mason and Dixon's
line for Presidential votes, entertains any
doubt. And it is to be hoped that no man
will ever get q seat in Congress from the
great West, who has not tbs frmness and the
integrity to meet the question openly and
honorably. It is to be hoped that no man
will ever get the electoral votes of Western
States again, who is so far a slave to Virginia
and South Carolina distractions as to veto
appropriations for River and Harbor i'm.
provements. Let Western men of whateve,
party, who refuse to support Western inter.
ests, be marked and branded as traitors. NJ
condemnation can be too deep-no retribu.
ton too severe. For such a betrayal, nj
amount Of talents, of service in other res
poets, or of age and experience, should b,
any excuse or palliation. Let the West b,
true to herself.

Deepesin. the 81. Lawrence River.

The Montreal Herald says we yesterday
mentioned having witnessed the modus OPP
erand Of Messrs. Maillefcrt, & Ransloof's
system or submarine blasting; we stated how
beautiful was the effect produced upon the
superincumbent water, and shall new try to
describe what the effect is.
We should premise that until NJ. Maille-
fert's discovery, whenever it was found de-
sirable for the removal Of rocky distractions
from any navigable channels, it was found
to be necessary to bore the rock with cham
bers for the blasting powder, which could
only be done by using diving bell. All
this labor and expense is now avoided from
Nj. a1aillefert's having discovered that the
disintegration Of almost any character of
rock can be affected without boring or min
ing, but by the simple explosion on its sur
face Of an adequate weight, Of powder, pro-
vided that there be a sufficient depth of wa
ter above the rock to resist the main force of
the exploding powder, and thus direct it
against the subs tructure CT rock.
Thus, all that is required is to regulate
your charges Of powdcr-frst, with reference
to the friability Of the surface on which you
are required to act, and secondly, to the re-
sistive power Of the water above.
The mode of proceeding then is, having
ascertained by sounding the exact spot on
which it is required to act, to sink the charge
of powder contained in tin box or cham
Der. to which is attached line Of copper
wire thoroughly enclosed, to act as the con-
ductor of the electric fluid, by the action Of
winch upon piece of platina wire, the
charge is ignlted.

and twenty-five pounds of powder each. TIL

battery on board, the explosion is instantane
ously effected.
We were unprepared for the splendid spec
tacle it produced, which we can compare on
ly to waterspout at sea-a gigantic foun
tain, of some thirty fec: in diameter at tn
base, forced to about one hundred and fit
feet in height, and tumbling again into tn
basin with a noise like thunder. The effec
of these explosions are as beneficial belo,
as they are beautiful above the water; AM
we know of no discovery likely to be of NOR
practicable benefit in improving the naviga
tion of our splendid river than that Of N
Maillefert, for by it is avoided the enormoa
expense always attendant upon all subma
rine operations, in removal of boulders o.
shelves Of rock by which its navigation i
greatly endangered.

On Wednesday evening one Of the Boston
police found in the garnet of house which
he entered to quell disturbance, miserable
woman in state of beastly intoxication,
while huddled about Ter were her FIVE help
less children, three boys and two girls, in a
state Of actual starvation. The Oldest child
was but eight years, and the youngest but
eighteen months. These little children were
almost naked, and so emaciated that they
could not stand or scarcely lift finger; their
bones almost protruded through the skin, and
their appearance indicated that they had un-
dergone all the horrors Of protracted and ex-
treme suffering. There was not particle of
food in the 10 ,thsome apartment, and not
spark of fire to protect the infant sufferers
from the cold. The woman had lain intoxi-
Gated for several days, during which time her
children had been without food, and it is no
wonder that they presented so CHASTITY an APP
pearance. The youngest cannot recover from
tho effects of tho long suffering.

the French and Ottoman empires, the occu-
patton of Egypt and the Holy Land by the
British, and the formation Of Russian Lat
ino-Greek confederacy, by which Egypt
Palestine and Jerusalem will be invaded and
conquered-are clearly laid down in prophe-

Messiah, his subjugation of the world through
their agency, and the consequent establish

IRIS ESTIMATED that, since the year Isl |, the
cholera has swept off fifty millions Of the
worlds inhabitants. 1t has done its diretul
work everywhere: on the borders o. the white
sea, on the slopes Of the Himalayas, AMI on
the sands of Arabia. In 1919 it passed IN
silence and safety by a city which stood upon
the plain, where its ravages were expected,
but clambered up q rugged rock, to invade
the citadel OF Jaragurth, in India, which is
built upon an isolated rock at height of one
thousand feet above the plain. 1t did not
pause for the military cordons of the Gear.
It burst trough the troop of 10000 men, by
which Prussia thought to resist its progress,
nor did it heed the triple cordons Of Austria;
but descended into the streets of Vienna, and
destroyed more Of the nobility and the people
belonging to the upper classes Of fociety than
it had at any other place.

that he has come to make a free gratis con-

TERRIBLE DEATH.-On Monday afternoon

TERRIBLE DEArH.-On Monday afternoon
a young man by the name of Strong, fore
man in the machine shop of the Buffalo,
Brantford and Gooderch RAILWAY Company,
at Brantford, in attempting to put a belt on
shaft while it was in motion, was caught
by the belt and whirled round with the shaft
at most fearful velocity. 1t is said that
the shaft must have made at least two hum
dred revolutions before the engine could be
stopped. When he was removed it was
found that his bones were all literally broken
in pieces, and his body reduced to a mere
shapeless mass, by striking at every revolu-
ton againt the joists over the shaft. He
must have been killed at the first revolution.
1t is somewhat remarkable that about two
weeks ago he was caught in the machinery in
the same way, but fortunately, just at the mo-
ment, the shaft stopped. He was about %
years Of age, and a native Of Vermont.
