A Fierce RctOrt.

Mr.. Broderick stood side by side with Mr..
Douglas in every trouble, but it appears that,
since his death, some of the Douglas organs
are disposed to speak rather disparagingly Of
him. The Chicago Times says:
"The personal associations Ex-senator Brod-
erick were not of the best. In early life he
had not the advantages of refined training,
and he fell rapidly into the company of roughs
and rowdes."
The Chicago Tribune makes this bitter re-
tort-whether just or unjust, we know not {:
"Perhaps Mr.. Broderick's early associa-
tons were not of the most select, but the
people of Illinois know that they could never
have been lower or more disreputable than
those of Douglas before he first ran for Con-
gress in the Springfield District. Ask those
who furnished him with rum on credit about
those times, and never got their money
Ask the gentleman who threatened to put
him out of hotel at Jonesboro for disrepu-
table pra ,tices, as late as 1856. Ask the
citizens of Chicago who saw him in drunk
en- brawl on the National Fair Grounds, four
weeks ago"

The Result of the Great Eastern's
Trial Trip. ;..I
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 26.

The New York Times contains very
thorough scientific description OF the trial trip
Of the Great Eastern, from special cores
pondent, whom the Times describes as an
American engineer, who has taken a profess
siOnal interest in the matter. The general
conclusion the writer seems to have attained
is, that while the expectations of the pGblic,
unduly wrought up by incompetent authori
ties, are disappointed, those of the projectors
are abundantly verified. Thus, while the
vessel cannot be advantageonsly employed
for merely transatlantic traffic, it is perfect
ly adapted to the long Australian voyage for
which it Was designed. 1t cannot attain a
speed of thirty miles an hour, but it can ac-
complish rate of fifteen miles. 1t cannot
make trip from Liverpool to New York in
i've days, but II canln ten. 1t does not wholly
obviate the diScomforts of sea voyage. 1t
does not go through the waves instead OF over
them, but it does pitch and roll so slightly as
to cause little serious distress to the passen-
ger.
Other points Of interest are developed by
the trial. The security Of the vessel is i'm
perfect. The bulkheads are neither fire-tieht
nor water-tight. Important valves are not as
they should be-auto natic The apparatus
for super-heating steam seems only to be av-
ailable at the cost OF great peril. The mach
inery is very ar from completeness and that
proportion people had been led to anticipate.
The boilers are inadequate to furnish the DOW
er required By the engines. There is a want
of harmony in the working of the screw and
side-wheels, and the Donkey Engines are by
no means as serviceable as certain American
inventions of the same kind. The machinery
for raising and handling the anchor is likewise
of an Indifferent value. ....-: ,
On the other hand, the vessel is under the
perfect control Of the helm, with no greater ]
amount of force than is required by first class
triga ties. The consumption of coal is moder-
ate, and the engines work with none of the
stiffness of new machinery. The opinion
formed the writer is thus, upon the whole, not
unfavorable to its claims. Indeed he does
hesitate to pronounce it a SUCCESS
The same correspondence gives the graf
flying intelligence that the American trip of
the Great Eastern is not to be deferred until
next Spring. The directors have determined
to dispatch her shortly after November

Mr.. Giddings' Explanation.
PHILADEIPUIA- Oct.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %.
Giddmgs delivered an address this evening
for the purpose of explaining what he knew
about Brown. He says be invited Brown to
jefferson, O., where he delivered lecture on
Sunday, after church, telling his trials in
Kansas. After the lecture Giddings prompt
ed the audience to contribute something for
the relief of Brown After which Brown took
tea at his residence, where they had CONVEX
sation; though Brown never said he intended
to visit slave States to free slaves, Giddings
inferred he would, if opportunity offered,
mainly from having done SO in Missouri
These were the only times he CO. saw
Brown. He asserts neither in lecture or con-
versatiOn did Brown say he had assistants or
associates. No mention was made of IIar-
per's Ferry, or Virginia organizations, or pro-
visional government. He acknowledged con-
tributing three dollars to Browns son, to
wards the necessities of his father, after the
rescue Of Doy from the kidnappers, a matter
in which he CO. acknowledges taking a
strong interest. In bestowing this gratuity
he had little idea 1t was to fit out an eXpedi-
ton for the capture of iIarper's Ferry, or to
effect the conquest of the Old Dominion, or
to strike terror to the Executive.

the Hawaiian Islands, died at Honolulu, Sand
wich Islands, on the l4th Of August last, in
the thirtieth year of his age. He vas the son
Of the late Captain Joseph jackson, iof, Bos-

years since, to seek the climate where he has
found an early grave. He received the ap-
pointment of Postmaster General soon after
his arrival at the Island, and notwithstanding
his infrm health, he faithfully discharged the
duties of his office until his useful career was
closed by death. Mr.. jackson was son of
the present wife of the venerable DR.. Lyman

Indiana Banks.

The Board of Directors of the Bank of the
State of Indiana is now in session at Indian
apolis. The returns from the branches show
reduction of the circulation of the Bank du-
ring the last quarter of about 100000. This
heavy redemption has been caused by the
circulation of Illinois bank notes in the Wa
bash valley, and in the Northern counties of
the State. An inferior bank paper circula-
ton will run out the notes of good banks, as
bank notes have run out gold coin. People
will hoard the best, and run off the Indifferent.
Some action on the part of the banks is talk
ed of, to protect it's circulation. What that
may be, has not transpired.

Queer Trades.

From the Philadelphia Journal.
Many years ago, when rice was dear in
Eastern China, efforts were made to bring it
from Luzon, where it was abundant At Man.
lila there was, however, passed singular
law to the effect that no vessel from China
should be allowed to load rice, unless it had
brought with them Manila a certain number
of cages of the little "butcher birds" well
known to ornithologists. The reason for this
most excentric regulation was simply that the
rice in Luzon suffered much from locusts, and
these locusts were destroyed in great num-
bers by the butcher birds. In our sublime
and superior common sense such law ap-
pears trivial. Yet if we could calculate the
millions of dollars annually lost to this coun-
try by insects, caused by the wanton and
wicked destruction of birds, it might lie even
large quantities of insectiverous birds. The
same is done with mere game birds, which
are inconceivably less valuable.
A somewhat similar business is carried on
between England and Zealand. This latter
country, at particular seasons, is invaded by
armies of catterpillars, which clear off the
grain crops as completely as if moved down
by scythe. With the view of counteracting
this plague, novel importation has been
made. 1t is thus noticed by the Southern
Cross
"Mr. Brodle has snlpped 500 sparrows on
board the Swordfsh, carefully selected from
the best hedge rows in England. The food
alone, he informs us, put on board for them,
cost el0. The sparrow question has been a
long standing joke in Auckland, but the ne
ccssity of small birds to keep down the grubs
is admitted on all sides. There is no secu-
rity in New Zealand against the invasion Of
myriads Of catterpillars which devastate the
crops.
Inc most singular branch of such trafc is
the toad trade. On some of the market gar.
dens near London, as many as five crops are
raised in one year, the principal object being
however, to raise the finest possible specimen
for high prices. Under such system of cul
ture, slugs and other insects are very iormid
able enemies, and to destroy them, toads have
been so useful, as to be purchased at high
prices.
AS much as dollar and half dozen is
given for full grown lively toads, which are
generally imported from France, where they
have also been in use for a long time in an in.
sectivorous way. Who can say but that
Shakespeare, who knew every thing, guessed
everything, and foresaw everything, thought

THE PIONEER RAILwAY.-The first railroad
constructed in the United States was at
Quincy, Mass connecting the granite quar-
ries with tide water 1t was about three
miles in length. The Baltimore and Ohio
was the first passenger railroad. 1t was
opened in 1880, distance of Is miles, with
horse power. Next in the order of time came
the Mohawk and Hudson, from Albany to
Schenectady, 16 miles, opened for travel, al
so with horse power, in the summer of 1881.
The first locomotive used in this country was
on that road, in 1881. Locomotives were in
operation in South Carolina and upon the
Ohio and Baltimore road in 1882.

Intemperance in Ireland.

The Cork correspondent of the Boston
7raoelIer says: at will take another Hercu-
les to inaugurate thorough temperance re
form in Ireland. Everybody drinks some
thing, from the Cork merchant with his
Wines down to the cablnan with his old mud
dy porter. OF course the cheaper drinks are
the most in demand, and a great deal more
money goes for them than for the substantials
of life. Grog-shops are an institution here,
and flourish, suspect, better than schools,
churches and colleges"

ture of Schamyl, the Caucasus is far from

bling of which all the European powers are

The London Tines Paris correspondent
corroborateS the statement from Zurich that
the French Government has demanded an in
demni:y from Piedmont for arrears of pensions
in connection with the first Empire due from
the Lombardo Venetian Monte fund. The

have been made, knowing the limited finan-
ces of Sardinia, with an object of obtaining
the cesson of the provinces of Savoy and
Nice to France.

Authorities are extensively quoted to sustain

candidate for the Presidency, and says that

finish out his term in the Senate, with the
chance he has of reelection, to being NOM
