AS we supposed would be the case, Il
Daniels was Yesterday arrested by the u
S. authorities for aiding in the rescue o
Booth, and locked up in the q. S. Bastile
While we write, this morning, the prelim
mares for his examination are being made
We presume his counsel will waive an ex.
a.1dnation and produce my amount Of bal
which the Coupt may demand. and that fol
the present Mr.. Daniels will soon be free
.gain. That he will be convicted, proyideC
the trial comes off before election, can scarce
IL be- doubted, and then he will be set free
either by our Supreme Court, or by tie
people, We hope the people will make up
their minds fully to this. This Internal
despotism carried on under pretence Of claw
and ORDER and paid for out fthe Y. =
Treasury ought TO come TO m end before !
great while.
No man ought to be permitted, on the
broad prairies and under the heavens q
Wisconsin, to suffer pains and penalties fol
the practice of plain Christian virtues
Such despotism is subyersiye Of all law and
all order, and tho longer it continues, Of
courge the more danger there is Of the des-
tructioE Of all our valuable Institutions
AS we view it, however, unless the Supreme
Court reverses its position, if the charge
against Mr.. Daniels is the forcible rescue OF
a prisoner he must be set free by the Court
for in the eye Of the Court Mr., Booth cod
not have been legal prisoner Free
Democrat.

THE Pony EXPRESS

WITH CALIFORNIA DATES of the 4th inst,
arrived at ST. Joseph on "Wednesday night
The newspapers holding Senator Gwin re-
sponsible for the defeat Of Senator Hale's
Overland bill, severely denounce him. The
excitement against the employment Of Chi
nese in San Francisco seems to have died
out. The newly discovered Coso mines
are generally believed 70 be rich with both
gold and silver. Owing to large numbers
of Indians congregating on The emigraat
routes, it as feared there would soon be
trouble. An election was to be held on the
lst Instant in the settlements Of the Car
son Valley for members Of Territorial Lee
oislature, Sheriff, Treasurer, Surveyor, local
Magistrates, dc. The three Democratic
papers in Portland, Oregon, had adopted
the Douglas ticket. We have dates from
the Sandwich Islands to July 18, but the
news is uuimportant. Strange develop
ments were anticipated regarding the use
made by our Consuls Of money appropria-
ted by Congress for the sick in the United
States Hospital at Honolulu. The matter
is being Investigated ~ Commissioners APP

THE AsHINisTON LADIES AND THE

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press says:
Some Of our ladies who expect to confer
the honor Of dancing with them upon the
Prince of Wales, if he comes hele, have not
been a little amused that the Prince in the
DANCE, gives the lady his left hand, and she
is not permitted to take his right, as being
contrary to etiquette That's well enough
las long rs he remains in Canada among
his subjects; but here ia the United States
lie is among equals, among soFereigns, and
our bellies will remind him Of that fact

The expedition fitted ont under the pat
ronage Of the coast survey t. Labrador t
make observations Of the total eclipse ofth'
sun, returned to Newport on the 18th, ane
the next day Prof Alexander gave an in
teresting account Of the phenomena attend
ing the total observation. The sky was
overcast With clouds, SO light that the disc
of the sun could be seen. He stated the
most interesting results of the observations
Of the party to be;
The moon broke the curve Of the sun
with an enormously roagh edge.
2. A phenomenon, which was the first
to notice some years ago, viz: a belt of light
around the moon, brighter than any other
part ofthe sun.
8. An appearance which but one ofour
party saw, which was observed in 1920 and
once later, and has been called an optical
delusion. but which the Photographic plate
now had not forgotten to record. Thus It
was real and not optical.
The phenomena in question was 6Imsh
light on the side Of the moon, close to the
edge projected on the sun. These three re-
suits, Prof Alexander considered to amply
Justify the expenses Of the expedition.
+. J. Lowe, one Of the English Astrono-
mical expedition to Spein, thus describes
the earth upon the occasion Of the late to-
tai eclipse:
The darkness was very great; thermom-
eters could not be read. The countenan-
ces Of men were Of liyid pink. The
Spaniards lay down, and their children
screamed with fear, fowls FASTENED to roost,
ducks clustered together, pigeons dashed
against the sides Of the houses, flowers closed
Hibiscus Africanus) as early as Oh. 5m. (;
| at Oh. 52m. cocks began to crow, ceasing
at Oh. SIM. and recommending at Oh. 5m.
As darkness came on many butterflies
which were seen flew about as if drunk, and
at last disappeared; the air became very
humid, 40 much SO that the grass felt to
one Of the observers as if recently rained
upon,
AT 5h. 55m. mock sun was formed 22o
below the true sun, having the ordinary
circular form. From the summit Of Pena
Castillo, overlooking the Bay of Biscay,
Mr. Heath noticed the magnifcence of the
coloring of the sky reflected in the sen, While
the water near us was Of deep leaden hue,
owing to the clouds overhead.

very dangerous counterfeit Of the ten dollar
pieces which are circulated extensively, and
almost defy detection, except by an expert.
The genuine coin is opened, full one-hali

Iplatina or some other equally heavy sub
stance, and then closed up; the coin itself
to all appearances, remaining the same II
all respects, even to the specific weight
Specimens Of this spurious coin are exhibi-
ted which would seem to defy detection by

ton and handling, and yet the amount in
pure gold left in i ten dollar piece is scarce
II equal to $3.50.

PHrLosoPHY or RAIN-To understand
the philosophy Of this beautiful and often
sublime phenonena, so often witnessed
since the creation, and essential TO the very
existence Of animals few facts aeris ed
from observation and along traiB Of expert
nents must be remembered:
|. Were the atmosphere, everywhere, at
al times, at an uniform tem@ettre, we
should never haze rain, or hail, or snow.
The water absorbed by it in evaporation
from the sea and the earth's surface, would
descend il an imperceptible yapor or cease
to be aos ,rbed when once fully saturated.
2. The absorbing power Of the atmos-
'phere, and consequently its capability to
retain humidity, Is proportionally greater
ii cold that IN warm MIR.
8. The air near the surface Of the earth is
warmer than it IS inthe region ofthe clouds.
The higher we ascend from the aath, the
colder do we find the atmosphere. Hence
the perpetual snow Oh very high mountains
in the hottest climates. Now when from
continual evaporation the air Is highly sat
ulated with yapor, though it be invisible
and the sky cloudless, if its temperature is
suddenly reduced to cold currents Of air rush
ing from above, or from ahigher to lower
latitude, its capacity to retain moisture Is
diminished, clouds me formed, and the re-
suit is rain. Air condenses as it cools, and
like ii sponge filed with water which its
diminished capacity cannot hold.

FARM MoRTaAcEs BEING SETTLED.-In
spite Of Farm Mortgage Leagues, and
Home League newspapers, and the many
insurrectionary threats made by different
parties, it is 4 fact that quite number Of
The farm mortgages are being aancltly set
tied up in this city, between the MOI gors
and the attorneys Of the holders. We hear
of one thai amounted to about S6G0, HAT
was settled in full few days since. Gnner-
ally, howeyer,thera isas compromise Of fiom
30 10 so per cent. A day or two since
another to the amount Of about $500, was
settled at SIS cents on the dollar. There is
an attorney in Inc city who holds quite q
number Of them for Eastern parties, who is
instructed to compromised he can, at SO
cents on the dollar This is the lowest
compromise we have heard Of, and it is
certainly an exceedingly fair one.
A few legal firms il the city, have avery
LARGE number Of .ho mortgages TO settle for
Eastern men. Whenthere isa chance to
compromise on such liberal terms, it seems
ike insanity for the mortgagors to resist
payment, The obligations viii have to be
paid some time or other, aud the longer
they put it off the worse it VII become fol
them. They may staye off affairs by resis-
lance for a while, but it will be only a tenn
porary relief. They have been unfortunate
and the only way for them to do, is to
conlcup like other men under misfortunes,
and pay what they owe, and then try and
I look ont for the future Wiscoasia.

THE GREATEST SEMINARY. THE Preside
is a seminary Of infinite importance. 1t is
important because it is universal, and be-
cause the education it bestows being woven
in with the wool ofchildhood, gives form
and color to the whole texture Of life
There are few who can receive the honors
Of a college, but all are graduates Of the
hearth. The learning oftheuniyersity may
fade from the recollection; its classic lore
may moulder in the haels of memory
But the simple lesson ofhome, enamelled
upon the heart Of childhood, defy the rust
Of years, and oqtliye the more mature but
less vivid pictures of after days. So deep,
so lasting, indeed, are the impressions Of
early life, that you often see a man IN the
imbecility of age holding fresh in his rec
objection the events Of childhood, while all
the widcspace between that and the pres
ent hour is blasted aud forgotten waste
You have perchance seen an old and halt
obliterated portrait, and in the attempt to
have it cleaned and restored, you may have
seen it fade away while brighter and
more perfect picture, painted beneath, i
revealed to view.
This portrait, first drawn upon the can
yass, is no inapt illustration Of yotth; and
though it may be concealed BY some after
design, still the original traits viii shine
through the outward picture, giving it ono
while fresh, and surviving it IN decay.
Such is the fireside-the great institution
furnished by Providence for the education
Of man.
