SEpoY Worms IN ESGLAND.-The Med
ical Times. says:
at has become the fashion for certain
writers to throw doubts upon the truth Of
the reports OF the atrocities committed by
the Sepoy rnutineers, upon our country
men in India. Il is said that these re-
ports have come through native spies,-
have been colored by the Indian press,
and have not been authenticated by Eu-
ropean testimony. How far these argu-
ments are worthy of credit, our readers
may Judge from the following statements.
We have been assured by a medical friend
that he has been consulted by lady who
has recently arrived at Bayswater, from
India, whose nose has been cut off, Her
child, three years old, has neither hands
nor feet-they were all cut off by the
mutineers. How the child survived, is q
mystery. The governess to this family
escaped with the loss of H. ears, which
were cut off as an easy way of getting
her earrings. Another friend is attend
ing a lady whose nose has been slit open,
and her ears have been cut Of. She has
brought home to England, three young
children, all blind. Their eyes have all
been gougcd. out by the Sepoys. We
have heard from another source, quite
beyond question { a lady who speaks from
personal knowledge, that there are sew
eral ladies now in Calcutta, who have
undergone such unspeakable degradation
that they obstinately refuse to give their
names. They prefer to be thought Of by
their relations in England as dead. There
are also in Calcutta several young chill
dren whose names are quite unknown
One little creature says she is "Mamma's
pet" and that is all we are ever likely to
know Of her past history"

1887 AND 1857.-There is no analogy
between the condition Of the country in
1887 and the present. The suspension
of that year took place in the spring.
when the crops Of the prior year had been
consumed-when we were exporting
breadstuff from Europe-when exchange
was against us. and specie was flowing
out Of the country. Now the last crop is
unconsumeG, almost wholly in first
hands, and it is unexsmpled in extent
The fields of cotton, sugar and Tobacco,
the great staples of the South, immensely
exceed anything ever before knew
These crops have not began to move. and
yet exchange is in our favor at such a
rate as to allow a margin of profit to ;m-
port specie from Europe Of between eight
and nine per cent. The trade is such
that specie must come.
This comparison reveals ample sun
shine for the immediate future. The
recuperative elements Of the country
could scarcely be greater or better. They
are absolutely tremendous. The bottom
is unsoiled and we shall stand on this
bottom bye and bye. Every merchant
and business man who sustains himself
for the next thirty days, will be able to
cry Land Ho i-Ex.

ARIzoxIA.-Lieut. Marry has written
letter, in which he says that the general
impression that Arizona 1.-THE Gadsden
purchase) is worthless and barren coun-
try, is entirely erroneous. The universal
testimony of travellers, of officers of the
army. and the Boundary Commissioners,
establishes the fact that more than half OF
the purchase is the finest grazing country
IN the world while the rapid settlement,
within short time. of the central valley
of Arizona, and the abundant crops Of
the past season, are an earnest Of their
fertility and future promise. Of its min
eral wealth he entertains an exalted idea,
and believes that the development of its
silver mines wiz effect as great change
in the commerce Of the world as the gold
of California. tf.-l

THE FEAREUL JUDeMEsT. The
Eollidaysburgh Standard says: The last
information on the subject Of the man
setting on q chair for blasphemy, throws
some light upon the origin Of the story.
It is said that a man in Union county,
and not Mt. Union. while winnoWing
grain, became exasperated on discovering
that the weevil had destroyed q portion
of his grain-thst he indulged in some
tall swearing-went into the house and
sat down, and the excitement brought on
a severe attack Of apoplexy. from which
he ultimately recovered. This was the
basis Of an enlarged and wonderful story.
and such papers as copied our article will
do well to set their readers right on
the blasphemy question.

YxxKrf kABoRERsiAT Fifty CESrs PER
DAY.-The Hartford Times of November
9, prints the following:
1t has been found necessary by the Of
ficers at the railroad depot in Asylum
street, to reduce the pay Of the workmen
on the wood trains 20 per cent, and the
laborers were offered yesterday so cents
per day. A large force of them-Irish-
men. all-were ready to go to work at
the old rates. but they refused to submit
to the 20 per cent. of, and the result was
that the "wood train" yesterday, was
manned chiefly by Yankees. who were
willing to earn half dollar rather than
lie idle and earn nothing. To-day, the
wood train was made up entirely of Amer
leans, most of them mechanics of various
trades, who have the good sense to take
a job at half q dollar, Sather than do
nothing. - -a4f.

OUR GREAT CoNFEDERAcY.-At the
meeting Of the next Congress two new
States will be in readiness for admis-
sion into the Union-Minnesota and
Oregon. The progress male thus far
fully warrants the expectation. The
Constitution of Minnesota prohibits sla-
very. What position Oregon will take
on the same subject is as vet uncertain.
In effect, however, Oregon is and will
continue to be free State. These will
increase the members Of the confederaey
to thirty three. without counting Kansas,
whose admission in some shape now
seems imminent. The Constitutional
Convention Of Kansas will meet again in
few days, resume and conclude its Ia
bors, and the Constitution TINS framed
will either be submitted to q popular
vote or sent to Congress without such
endorsement At the sPPropristing ses-
sion of Congress. therefore, the Union
will be materially Increased in members.
Steps will also, no doubt, be taken to
organize the new territories Of Arizonis,
DacOtah and Carson, thus raising the
number Of territories to the sane total as
ct present.

~ The people and the State Legis-

Ohio. which is strongly Democratic in

against the admission of Kansas under
that Constitution. The Wisconsin De-
mocratic State Convention strongly in

E The statistical tables of mOrtalit

~ The statistical tables of mortality
show q reduction in this country of the
proportion of deaths from pulmonary
diseases. DR.. Aver attributes this result
to the-efect of his Cherry Pectoral. he
also asserts that the cures from his Ca
thartic Pills give reason to believe they
will, as they come into more general use,
materially reduce the mortality from those
particular diseases for which they are
designed. From what we know Of his
preparations, we think he has grounds
for his claims, and if he has, it is an at
tainment Of which an Emperor might be
proud. Rarely is it permitted any one
man to know that his skill is bestowing
health and life to the masses of his fellow
men. ~

The spectacle Of free people deliberately

adding themselves to the confederscy Of

ty. In this instance, unusual interest is
attached to the event. because there were
two exciting issues thrown into the can.
vass. We refer to the slavery. and free
negro clauses, upon each Of which q sep.
arate vote was taken. A remarkable
fact exists, in connection with the recent
election. which we leave for those skillet
in settling doubtful questions to resolve
1t is this: We believe that two.thirdS Of
the votes given for free State were cast
by men who were born. or who had
lived in slave States. while fully one
third Of the votes east for slavery were
given by men who were from free States.
The absence of heat and rancor is 3

fact. Almost every man seemed to I'D.
