The reports of Garibaldfs successes are

city, flag in hand, after desperate combat of
six hours duration, and during an active

The Members Of Wealthy New York
Dry Goods Firm Formerly Detective Po-
lcemen. ..s .... ...f.. ~
The New York correspondent of the Boston
Post relates the following novel story:
The handsomest structure on Broadway,
devoted to the retailing Of dry goods and
controlled by one of our most progressive
firms, furnishes so nice point for moral
and such brilliant adornment for tale, that
| am tempted to tell short story about the
origin of the firm who own it.. The origina-
tors Of the house, now of thirty years stand
ing, were two members of the London police
who were contentedly plc1ding in their re-
spective beats until bold and successful
robbery of jewels, owned by a lady of noble
lineage, and intrinsically of immense value,
was one day announced, along with tempt
ing reward TO whoever might be shrewd
enough or lucky enough TO find and restore
them to the loser. The prospect of attaining
comparative wealth by earning this reward
prompted these heroes of my story to become
partners in various plans by which they hoped
to discover the burglar and his booty. After
patient and persistent labors, and many we'll
laid traps, they succeeded in lerreting out
the mystery and gaining the promised recon-
pense. The reward was liberal enough to
Justify their retiring from the force and
emigrating to America. Here they formed
partnership and commenced retailing dry
goods. Their method of doing business was
peculiar and progressive. The result of
their harmonious and prudent action was
the accumulation of great wealth. In fact,
so successful were they that one of the orig
inators of the house retired some years since,
taking with him in cash FIVE hundred thou
sand dollars

The DISCOVERY OF PHosPHoRus.-Iti is now
just two hundred years since phosphorus was
first obtained by Brand, of Hamburg. So
wonderful was the discovery then considered
that Kraft, an eminent philosopher of the
day, gave Brand $500 for the secret of its
preparation. Kraft then travelled, and visited
nearly all tle courts of Europe exhibiting.
Phosphorus resembles bees-wax, but is more
transparent, approaching to the color of am

Greek, signifies Slight bearer" and is indca-

self-luminous. Phosphorus, when exposed
to air. shines like star giving out beauti-

Woman's Opinion-waIt whitman and
the Relations of the Sexes.

we quoted the other day an opinion of
Mrs. Julietta H. Branch, on the author Of the
Leaves Of Grass. and now add something
more:
4 Walt Whitman assumes to regard woman
only 80 an instrument fer the qualification of
his desires, and the propagation of the spe-
cies. To him all women are the same, with
but this difference: the more sensual have
the preference, as they promise greater in
dulgence. His exposition of his thoughts
shows conclusively that with him the con-
gress OF the sexes is purely animal affair,
and with his ridiculous egotism he vaunts his
prowess as a stock-breeder might that of the
pick of his herd ,UF IN - -
1t is bad enough, / submit, for a person to
be so utterly brutalized. There needs not
the further degradation of publishing his
brutality. true man regards the intimate
relations he may sustain toward the woman
who holds his affections, as something too
holy to be lightly talked of too sacred to be
bruited abroad. To the true man, the con-
gress of the sexes is sacrament-a holy Sc
cret locked in the breasts of two persons,
which it were gross PROCLAMATION to expose
TO the gaze of any beside. To such an one
all women are not the same nor is capacity
for. beastly indulgence the distinguishing
trait of the chosen one. .ra .... :

Canine Law In Now York-Execution Of
Dogs by the Wholesale.

Dogs by the Wholesale.
The New York Tines in alengthy descrip-
tion of the dog-pound in that city, thus
describes the manner of ridding the city Of
unfortunate CANNES:
The hold of the barge Is devoted to the
purpose of securing such dogs as are brought
in, until specified time, after which, such
dogs as have not been reclaimed, are drowned
and handed over 10 the offal contractor, who
chops them up for manure. On Monday
there. were ninety-six dogs drowned, on
Tuesday eighty, on Wednesday eighty, and
Thursday about seventy. The tank in which
the dogs are drowned will hold about two
hundred and sixty. 1t is sixteen feet long by
eleven feet wide. After the victims are
brought up from the hold and placed in the
tank, the refractory ones being quieted by
few taps of the club, cover is secured TO The
tank, and enough Croton let on to drown the
lot. The offal carts are then backed to the
pier, the sluices opened, and the dead bodies
of the slain are carried off to fertalize the
surrounding country, and probably return to
us ere long as component parts of strawber-
ries, lettuce, potatoes, and other excellent
vegetables. A fee of two dollars is charged
the owners Of dogs that are reclaimed and so
great was the number of valuable dogs cap
tured last year, that the institution, which
then cost about $4,000 for capturing 5000
dogs, almost paid for itself The dog season
lasts from June to September, and owing to
the fifty cents paid heretofore for each dog
brought to the pound, the trade was always
brisker than it has been this year, when only
twenty-five cents is paid per caput There Is
less temptation for the boys to steal dogs, or
to import them from adjacent places.

The Troubles in China AMovements Of the
Rebels

a Shanghai correspondent writes thence
on the 7th of April thus:
The rebels are said to be in force near the
great city of Hong-Chow, and to be gathering
strength and influence Their movements
are watched with anxiety, as the region likely
to be under their control, if successful, will
command entirely the most important tea
and silk-growing districts Of the Empire. A
report was circulated fow days since that
Hong-Chow had fallen into the hands of the
rebels. This report created great consterna-
ton among the more wealthy residents of the
old city of Shanghai, several hundred of
whom removed at once from the city, either
taking rooms in the foreign settlement or
going into the country. More recent news
has served to quiet the people. 1t seems that
the rebel forces did get possession of the
suburbs and even forced their way into the
city, from which they were afterward driven
by the Imperial troops, after hard-fought
battle. They are said to be now entrenched
within sight of the city wall, committing sad
depredations upon the poor and inoffensive
inhabitants of the rural districts and devas-
tating the country. 1t is pitiful to see the
terror of these helpless reople, on account Of
the danger that threatens them from within,
as well as from their external foes.
