GREAT INDIGNATION MOVEMENT "A most
singular indignation movement took place on a
St. Lawrence steamer the other day. We find
an account of it in The Montreal Sun. The
Hon. Judge Moudelet, who had taken occasion
to speak IN behalf of tho Car Nicholas and
against tho allied movement in favor of Turkey,
was a passenger on tho steamer Quebec
When tho passengers assembled at tho break
fast tablo. a Montreal merchant rose and stated
that ns there was ono person there who, in
official position on the BENCH, had made use Of
language towards Her Most Gracious Majesty
and tho armies Of England and France, now
engaged in chastising one of tho most brutal
tyrants of the ago-language which untitled
that man for tho company of conference.-the
considered it his duty as q gentleman and a
loyal subject to withdraw; and he trusted all
who conceded with him would follow his ex-
ample. After the gentleman had done speak

three cheers for the Queen left 1t in sole pos
session of the Judge who enjoyed his morning

CURIOUS LAW Casa novel case was de-
cided at Cincinnati last week, which claims the
attention of banking institutions and money
dealers. Ellis g. Morton, bankers at Cincin.
natl, paid forged check on themselves fol
$1,000, presented through and in the first in.
stance paid by the Ohio Lifo and Trust CO..
who had cashed it at the request Ola stranger.
On discovering tho fraud, after the lapse of q
few days, E. s. M. clasme of the Trust Co. re.
payment of tho amount paid to that Co. which
was refused. On trial before the Superior
Court at Cincinnati: last week, the facts in the
warc admitted, and tho court (Storer, presid
ng) decided that they did not entltle the
plaintiffs (E. s. M. to recovery. A nonosu
was accordingly granted. The ground mainly
taken was that tho plaintiffs (E. N.Y. die
not use due caution in the payment oftho check
but having paid it, they thereby certified III
validity, and thus secured tho forger from ar

TREATMENT OF TIE CHoLERA.-Mr. Z. w.
Lane, tho well known eastern traveller, gives
this recipe of tho treatment of cholora: If
tho patient havonot vomitcd the poisonous mat
ter which is charactestic Of tho disease, and
which resembles rico water, give table spoon
Of powerful mustard in tumbler of cold water
as an eme'ic After the vomiting (whether
produced by tho disease or the above means)
within few minutes. give wine glass of BRAN
dy, with ten grains Of powdered capsicum (Ca-
ynne popper) stirred up. This generally pro-
duces almost immediate relief; and in an hour
rest, perspiration and sleep. In a few eases il
was found necessary to give bali dose OF
the brandy and cspsicum, after half an hour OF
more. a second half dose was never required;
but should il be required, it may bo given
To accelerate convalescence, il has been sug.
gested that fifteen drops Of mxtuie of spirit
Of ammonia and sulphuric ether in equal por
tions, may bc given three or four times the fol

IMPORTANT ARREsr.-The notorious DIR. Alb
bott, who imposed on a respectable lady, in
this city, last winter, aud married her, while
he had other wives living, was arrested in New
York yesterday, and brought to Newark, and
this morning no was committed by Justice
Wilcox, in default of $1,000 bail 1t will be re-
collected that Abbot married tho lady last
January, and endeavorod to persuade her to
sell her property, that he might obtain the
money realized from it. Being frustrated
through the advice of her brother he threate-
cned the brothers life, and was arrested for
this, but released on bail. Subsequently ano-
lher complaint of bigamy was made against
him, but before the warrant was served he es-
capped, taking some jewelry and other articles
which he had swindled from various persons
Since that time wo have noticed in Con-
necticut paper. that ho got into difficulty in
that state, by persisting in his addresses to a
young lady, who did not wish 10 receive them,
and tho nnettor finally onded by his forcible
ejectment into tho street.
Yesterday, sister of the lady whom he mar
ried hero, met Abbott in Broadway, and recog-
nizing him, she accosted a gentleman, who
happened to be officer Thomas Il. Barton, and
informed him of the facts. Tho officer direc-
ted her to police Office whore she made a
complaint, Barton meanwhile pursued and ar
rested Abbot. Ho was committed, and word
being sent to Newark, ho agreed TO como out
here with officer Bazier. Being taken before
Justice Wilcox this morning he was commi-
tied for bigamy on the afiidavits of the lady he
married in this city, and of previous wife,
whom he had married in 1880. The villain
has probably several wives, and he is now in a
fair condition to receive the punishment due
his crmes.-[N Newark ADV.

BY ID. w. G. PACKARD.
Toll on, brave mani through sun and shower
Thou shalt not toll ia vain;
The earth, thy servant, comes to pour
Her wealth Of autumn grain.
o, never shall her bosom fail,
Till man disdans the plow;
But with his gracious bounty swell,
As we behold it now.
For thee, the evening dews descend
For thee, the rain-drops fall
For thee, the golden harvest bend;
Behold thy God in ALL
Look up and smile; no menial talk
Is thine, to till the field;
What nobler calling can you ask
What manlier conquest yield?
Go to the plain of death, and learn
The glory heroes gain
Gaze on each CHASTITY heap, and spurn
The conquerer's bloody trainl
'Tis thine to break the virgin sod,
Subdue tho painless Wild
Where mans reclaining foot nc'cr trod,
And beauty never smiled.
o, glorious age, when man no more
The arms of war shall WELD;
But proudly own, on every shore,
The plough, his spear and shield.
