WASHINGTON, June Il. Mr.. Karns, of Penn
sylvania, appeared before, the Coyode Com
mittee, and testified that he was contractor
on the Union Canal Extension, and employed
about $50 lrishmen. He had sent to him a
large number Of naturalization papers, al
legged TO be fraudulent, which were procured
from r. M. Boune, an emptoye of the Navy
yard. he received some Of these under franks
of Democratic members. Some two or three
hundred of them were still in his possession
Col. Forney and Mr.. Wendell were also
examined by the Committee. The formers
testimony was shown to the President and
several members of the Cabinet. Among
other things, he stated that he had been
offered by Mr.. Buchanan the Consulate to
Liverpool, or the mission to Russia or Prussia,
if he would acquiesce in the policy Of the
Administration, but he declined.
Mr.. Wendell testified that he carried
$l0,0O0sn his pocket for weeks, to present to
Col. Forney, and, if necessary, was authorized
to increase it to $4,000 or $25,000, il he
would accept the Liverpool Consulate or the
mission to one of the greatpowers Of Europe,
but Forney declined. 7ohn'

Ru.sip. Dsnirnun Of Psaea.

If we are to credit st. Petersburg CORE
spondent of the Morning Post, Russia is occu
pied almost exclusively with dreams of peace
progress and reform. This writer says that
after thirty years of war against progress
civilization and common sense, Russia Is be-
ginning to open her eyes, and, regretting the
past wishes brighter future
"The simple fact is that Russia, on the one
hand, wants both men and money; on the
other, most ardently seeks peace and pro
gress. There is not man throughout the
whole empire, commencing with the Empe-
ror, who does not ardently pray for il; and
he, or greatly err, fears far more internal
commotion than seeks external aggression
He ardently desires reform; he sees and feels
that, however territorially vast his empire, il
is all but the last question if it be not the
very last-in the list of civilized nations
The man Turk de tdcto is in advance of the
man Russo in all that makes life worthy
The writer adds that, although the Empe-
ror Alexander earnestly desires to emancipate
the serfs, the question drags on slowly, sur
rounded by difficulty, even danger, to the
State.

THE STATUE OF ARcHDUKE CHARLES Cox.
sEcRATED.-The Vienna sculptor, Fernkorn
has recently been receiving honor In his owr
country. His equestrian statue of the late
Archduke Charles was unvailed on the 22d
Of May, in the presence of the Court, the
garrison forces, and brilliant concourse Of
spectators, in all about 10000. After the
unvailing was accomplished mass was said,
and the statue was consecrated. Then the
artist was conducted by Count Thun to the
Imperial tent where he received the con-
gratplations and thanks of the Emperor, who
shook hands with him. The stone-mason
who made the pedestal was also presented to
the Emperor, from whose hands he received
a gold medal as reward of his skill. The
statue represents the Archduke Charles on
horseback with a standard in hishand. Pro-
fessional men say that one of the fore legs of
the horse is too long and its tail too heavy,
but the ensemble is extremely good. The
head of the horse is perfect, and the folds of
the coat worn by the Archduke, are remarka-
BILE for their lghtness and "softness."

Determining the Are of Frypt.

An English Engineer Leonard Horner
has been making some experiments for de-
termining the age of Egypt by counting the
layers of alluvial deposit along the banks Of
the Nile, made by the annual overfowing
Mr.. Horner's researches are made by sinking
shafts at various points. One of these weS
sunk close to the great monolitlIic statue OF
Rameses II, at Memphis, and it was found
that there were nine feet four inches of Nile
sediment between eight inches below the
surface and the lowest part of the platform
on which the statue stands.
. Below the platform the shaft was driven
thirty feet through the deposit. At the
depth of thirty-nine feet pottery was found in q
good state of preservation. Taking the date
Of the erection of the statue at 1851 B. g., the
finding of the pottery, together with the ex-
animation of the different layers of deposit,
Mr.. Horner thinks be has discovered traces
of the existence Of man II, 800 years before
the Christian era, or 1900 years before the
date at present fixed for the creation of the
world. HrT. a.t ..|.. r.r...rr r-

A "GENTEEL" SHop-LIFTER IN THE EAsr.-
The other day a lady dressed In black arrived
In Rochester, New York, by cars, and went
70 hotel, where she registered her name az
Mrs. Davidson, of Buffalo. She walked out
TO look at the stock of the dry goods mer-
chants, and among other places called at the
store of Wilder, Chase & Co. Her conduct
there excited suspicion, and it was believed
that she took some goodsf from the store with
out bill and without payment.
A search warrant was obtained and po-
liceman repaired to the room occupied by this
"lady in black" and informed her that he
was deputed to look after stolen property.
She put on the air of lady and demanded
his authority. He produced his papers, and
proceeded with the search. Two pieces of
brocatelle, six or eight handkerchiefs, and
some ribbon were found but nothing ans
wering the description of the property
searched for, and no arrest was made.
The lady said she belonged in Tiffin, Ohio,
and was there to purchase goods. She had
no baggage with her, but was flush of money
having about one thousand dollars in bank
notes. ..r..

EFFEcrIvE TREATMENT OF PLEURo-PYRU-
MoNIA IN A HoRsE--A homeopathic physi-
clan communicates to the New York Tribune
the following interesting and valuable ac-
count of his treatment of q case of disease in
one of his horses-the symptoms of which
resemble the terrible malady which is devas-
tating the herds in Eastern Massachusetts, as
to naturally suggest the inquiry, if the
pleuro-pneumonia may not extend to the
horses ofthe country as well as to the horned
cattle. The horse was first observed to lose
his spirits, and then strength. The next
day, rs he stood in his stall, he hung his
head and refused to eat, but manifested q
great thirst. His mouth was hot, and bis
tongue pale and dry. His respiration super
fetal, hot, and painting. The eyes were dull
and watery nostrils extended and red. He
had dry but not frequent cough. The pulse
was not much disturbed. His weakness in
creased until he could scarcely move or
stand.
The treatment was Aconite of the 18th,
four doses, three hours apart-permitted to
act twelve hours the next day, bryonia of
the 30th, dissolved in q bucket one-quarter
full of water, taken at draught repeated at
evening, and again the next evening. Under
the aconite the heat of the horses mouth dis
appeared, and the thirst lessened. After the
bryonia the capacity to cough increased,
showing that the strong hepatization of the
lungs had diminished; then his general
strength increased, and his appetite grew.
One dose Of phosphorus Both, given twenty
four hours after, completed the cure of a
case, every one of whose symptoms was the
"pleuro pneumonia" of Massachusetts.

Graphic sketch OF a Railway-car MT Day.

This ife-like sketch is by the clever word
painter Of the Chicago Evening Journal
"Long before we hear the roar of wheels
We see the glimmer Of a glowing light.
Brighter and broader Il opens, like the Cyclo-
Pean unwinking eye II Is, the head light of
the train. Then the steady Jar, then the
mingled clank as OF thousand shaken chains
and the cars are here. 'All aboard and iali
rightP follow each other in quick succession,
and We are breathing the close and heavy air
OF crowded dormitory. The car-lamps have
gone out, disgusted; the little wakefuiness of
the sleepers has subsidized, and the dim snoring
outline of cloaks and shawls, and frightened
looking heads, fecked here and there like n
troubled sea, with white, compose the land
scape; while over all, like pendulums, swing
plethoric carpet-bags, slowly TO and fro, and
little satchels, brisk as mantle-clocks, and
bonnets, made of nothing, dance up and
down, like blossoms in rain; all timed 10
the motion of the train.
But the dim gray turns to an old-eyed
white, and the breathing bundless begin to
| stir out OF an egg-shaped package is Matched
woman, with hair disheveled, like Venus
from the sea. A throe or two, and a rougher
form emerges from a cloak and shawl and
shakes itself awake. A shapeless heap turns
out man, bearded like pard. A pair of
boots thrust out like bowsprits goes out of
sight, as the owner comes in view. One is
soothing an irritated hat with gentle touches
of his elbow; another pulling at his wilted
collar. Disordered tresses are smoothed with
hasty touches of the hand, and crumpled
sleeves persuaded into shape. One lady has
learned her lesson from Grimalkin, and makes
her toilet precisely like a cat.
THE cold, clear light of early morning is
always trying to human beauty; there are no
tints to be borrowed, no softening shades to
be worn; plain, cold stare, that looks one
out of countenance. But in railroad train
the ordeal is appalling. If face ever looks
faded it is then; if the hair has any grey in it,
is sure "to show" wrinkles are read, like q
sign-board, afar off. If there be discomfort
in the heart, it comes into the mouth, and
every body looks like people after masquer-
ade,. or Richard after he became "hirnself
again"

that wonderful voice and, eye, " I'm against

The NATIVES OF TEE IsrHNUs OF PANAMA.
In one Of the Rev. Starr Kings recent let
ters from California, he speaks as follows OF
the native people whom he saw on the
lsthmus of Panama: lal.. n.
"a negro has been called the image of God
cut in ebony. On the Isthmus we saw the
divine image shining, in glowing golden
bronze. tried to learn if these specimens
we're not a cross between the African and
the native Indian but could not get informa-
ton. Certainly, by their tawny brilliance
they put the Caucasian hue to shame. That
is the color Providence intended for the
tropics. 1t harmonizes with the scenery. "a
white skin may do under the Elm, but the
bronze hues are needed under the canopy OF
the palm. A perfect civilization on the globe
will organize the laws OF beauty Is well Is Of
justice; and then the dark and down-trodden
children of the sun will be acknowledged and
protected, as part Of the esthetic furniture Of

Japanese "TOmmy" Becoming Young

Americanlzed.
The Philadelphia correspondent of New
York paper observes:
During the procession, young Tommy
made himself very conspicuous, and indeed
manifested degree of activity and anti
conservatism that was positively startling.
From Baltimore he rode to Philadelphia on
the locomotive, the only one of the Japanese
that had the courage to do it. He fraternized
with the engineer and fireman, and observed
the machinery with interest. During the
trip he tried to explain in his broken English
some Of his exploits in Baltimore, of which
he appeared very proud While witnessing
the exhibition of the fire department there,
one of the men offered him the hose; Tommy
immediately took de butt and began playing
upon the. crowd manitesting the greatest de-
light at their annoyance. On the locomotive
he got hold of the bell-rope and kept ringing
the bell almost all the way from Wilmington
to this city; nor did his lively spirits desert
him even under the influence of the long
procession; on the contrary he appeared
highly delighted, answered with smffes and
bows to the salutes of the crowd, and even
ventured to kiss young girl who tried TO
shake hands with him"
