Rather Rich saation.IIouse Scene.

On Wednesday night drafted man
called at the Second District Station house
in Philadelphia, having with him an indi-
,yidual whom he had engaged as substi-
tute. He desired the substitute TO be
locked up until morning The officer in
command Justly refused to do anything of
the kind, as such transaction would be
entirely Illegal.
81 am airaid,n said the applicant, "he
will escape if he is not detained, and |
must have him at the Provost Marshaps
Office in the morning, or I'm a goner."
81 cannot help you sir, No one can be
locked up in these cells unless there is
some criminal charge preferred" replied
the officer in command,
''What shall do, said the stranger ~
"Stay with him until morning." replied
the officer. +.
81 esn't do il; | want to 60 home."
swell, sir, there is no use Of any more
conversation upon the subject we have
no right to detain your friend"
The two men departed, and nothing
more was thought of the affair.
Between twelve and one o'clock in the
morning, couple of officers arrived at the
station, having in custody man very
much intoxicated. To use the language
of one of the officers he was "staving
drunk
The ohlivious individual was placed in
the cell, and at six o'clock, having had
five hours sleep, was arraigned before the
magistrate on the charge of drunkenness.
The evidence was positive, and the usual
fine, in such cases made and provided was
imposed. The officers found him on the
side walk, fast asleep, not far distant from
the station-house.
As the magistrate announced the fine
imposed, a pretty well dressed man
stepped up from among the motley group
and paid it. ...
The officer in command Of the station
looked at him intently as though he had
seen him before. The man smiled as he
paid the fine. He was the same individu-
al who, on the evening previous, had made
application to have his substitute locked
up for safe keeping, to prevent him escap-
ing to Manavunk, at which place his SER
vices had been obtained. As he turned to
90 away he looked at the officer; placed
his thumb aside bis nose, gyrated his fin
gers, smiled again.
The officer looked as if he was trying to
measure the depth of space, and finally
broke the silence imposed upon himself by
calculating the single~ord, 'soid "
The substitute was introduced to Pro-
vost Marsha Marsha Lehman, was acceped, a
uniform placed upon him, and he was at
once sent to the barracks.

TnE EARrHoUAKE AT MANIlA.-The
following from the Straits Times Overland
Mail, is the only account received of the
terrible earthquake at Manila, on one OF
the PHILIPPINE Islands, Of which we have
had brief mention before:
"Ou the Sd of June, at half past sew
en- in the evening, circumambent flame
was seen to arise from the earth and grid
the city of Manila, and at the same time
most terrific quaking of the earth took
place. II lasted scarcely a minute, but IN
that short space nearly the whole of FAIR
Manila has been reduced to heap of ru-
ms. We believe that upward Of thou
sand have been killed, and many thou
sands wounded, but i: Is impossible to say
or to estimate Scarcely an edlice has
escaped without dead or wounded. The
good priests their chorister and sacristans,
and the faithful who were hearing the yes
pers of Corpus Christi have been nearly
all buried and suiiocated under the RUNS
of the cathedral and other churches. The
only church that has escaped wholly IS
San Augustm, the same that witlstood
the terrible shock of 1915. The palace,
and nearly all the public and private, as
well as commercial edIices, have been
thrown down or shaken from their iounda-
tons. Thank God not single foreign
er has been killed, but two, We fear, have
been seriously hurt, thengh not dangerous
". he Rodngues property, left to the
British nation, and where the British con-
sulate was, has been entirely destroyed,
and Is nothing but mass of ruins. The
city is deserted nearly, for the ediiices
threaten to fall suddenly, and there may
be repetition. Before the earthquake
took place sulphurous odors were per-
ceived, rumblng like the fire of ordnance,
and then like the approach of an immense
locomotive and train. The flame that sur
rounded the city was seen from the bay to
ascend toward the sky and another,
triple snake one, came from the land over
the water to the shipping, and threw them
up at least two or three feet; while on the
shore the earth has everywhere sunk at
least two feet"

WHY Fernando Wood has gone To
Halifax.

The Portland Me Press tells the fol-
loving:
The ex-Mayor of New York was in
town a few DAYS since, but suddenly left
via Boston for Halifax-report says IN
quest of health. When asked why he
did not stop and speak in the city, q Ia
Hayes, one of the ultra peace democrats
gave as a reason that he was too much Of
q comprehend.
Now we have heard on good authority
authority that we do not know how to
set aside-a different reason for Fernan-
doc rctiUeuce and remarkable taciturnity
at the present time. 1t runs on this
wise;
Just before or during the late riots II
New York, Mr.. Wood made one 81 his
characteristic speeches, whicn evidently
aided in melting the disorder that dis
graced that city and stained it with the
the blood of many an innocent victim.
The reasonable speech was fully repor-
ted at dquarters at Washington, where
upon Fernando received despatch stat
ing that his presence was desired at the
Federal metropolis. He went there at
once, and was met by a tall, somewhat
rough but honest man, who has extensive
legal practice in Western courts, by whom
he was taken to a private room.
Holding in one hand a paper, the tall
man pointed with his long, bony finger to
paragraph, and said: "Mr. W., did yo@
san Mat?n The Gothamlte responded
affirmatively And did you say that,
and that, and that ?' continued the old
lawyer, pointing to different paragraphs.
Il did" somewhat hesitatnly answered
the leader of the intensified"
"Enough' said the nqnisitive gentle
man: sthose are reasonable words, and
you are liable to arrest and trial,
and if found guilty, to death. Have
care-stop such utterances or you have
my word that justice shall not be allowed
to slumber."
Fernando came home more thought
ful if not wiser or q better man 10
n'S made no speeches since. The draft
was to be enforced in his city upon popu-
lation with part of whom his word Is law
Should he remain there he might be called
upen to speak by those whose demands
are imperative-who would return curses
and brickbats for silence. To refuse to
speak to and for them would destroy his
influence forever. A virtue was made OF
necessity.
Absence from the Stale would furnish
excuse for silence the plea of ill-health
,uould aver co aheanca and so a VOYAGE
to Halifax to recuperate natures wasted
energies, was hit upon as the shortest cut
by which to escape dsagreeable dilem-
ma. Fernando is for the present "dumb
dog.' Among the blue noses he will es-
cape double danger; a rope on one end
of which is loss of influence with his
friends on the other, possibly, a moose.

FoRmGN News. The latest intelli-
gence from Europe is to the effect that
the French and English press We're COM
mentng upon the election of Archduke
Macmillan to the Mexican throne, 1t
was generally expected that he would &C
cept, though one paper asserts that his &C
ceptance will be dependent on the consent
of Austria. If he accepts, France and
England will at once recognize him, and
the other European powers will follow.
He has received the congratulations of the
Emperor and the Empress of France. The
London Times thinks that an offensive and
defeneive alliance may be concluded be-
tween Jefferson Davis and the new Gov
eminent of Mexico.
Nothing new has turned up in the Pol
ish question, but public opinion points
once more to peace Austria had sent a
proposition &c russia containing slight
modification of her last note.

The KANSAS MAssACRE.-We have
only the names of about fifty OF the nearly
two hundred citizens who fell victims TO
Quantrell, Many of these are persons who
were not only prominent and honored IN
Kansas, hut well known far beyond the
borders of the State. They comprise
LAWYERS, clergymen, Judges, editors, doc
tors, merchants, mechanics, farmers, pab-
lie officials and military officers, John
Spear, who, with his two brothers, was
killed, was the editor of the first Free
State journal published IN the Territory
of Kansas, some seven years ago, and
after long retirement, had again lately
assumed the editorial chair He was a
native of Ohio, man of fine intellect, no.
BILE impulses and irrepressble Jovlallty,
and the young State could suffer no greater
loss than in losing him, Josiah Trask
was young man of excellent parts, son
of the distinguished clergyman Of the same
name, a native Of Massachusetts,, and had
been for several years and was at the time
of his death editor of the Kansas State
State journal, published in Lawrence. j.
q. Low, also killed, was distinguished
lawyer, but we believe a co-editor with
Mr., Trask.
The brothers Eldrdge, killed, are noted
in Kansas history as connected with the
famous Free State Hotel of Lawrence,
which was burned by the Border Rutiians
in 1856. Col. Stone is a gallant officer
of one of the best of Kansas regiments.
Mr.. Lykins is banker of great wealth
and extensive connections. Other of the
names will be widely recognized, and we
mention these only to indicate the charac-
ter of the men whom the rebels sprang
upon as the objects of their fury. As the
town as only ab6st 5000 inhabitants,
and has sent nearly all its able-bOdied
men to far off fields to battle for the Ma
tional cause, we should think that Quan-
trel and his gang of murderers had but
chered nearly every citizen left within its
limits. 1t is a calamity of the most heart
rending kind an trocity of unspeakable
character.-Neu York Times.

The Crops. Isaac Newton, Commits
sioner of Agriculture, in his monthly re-
port for August of the condition of crops,
says the wheat crop just harvested is
most excellent. boh in amount and quail
ty; and the corn crop promises to be a
full one, although in some localities in the
West, where the drouth Of June has ex-
tended into July, it may not be so good.
The Masden wheat has entirely failed to
sustain its character in this country. 1t
is an English variety of great excellence
there, and hence it was desirable to test
here. - is pres umed that the failure is
owing to the difference in climate and time

SOLDIERS VIEws.-In these days of
copperheadism and clubbing about the
support of the Governmer+ without on
dorsing he Administration, it is refresh
ing to read the bold, upright and down
right expressions of loyalty that come
from the BEST soldiers IL the army. In
a speech the other day in Illinois, Gener
eral Logan said:
"People may talk about Democrats,
Republicans and Abolitionsts, as they
will,-say what they will-there are but
two parties-patriots ana and traitors
IN this country at the present time-those
who oppose the war and the best interests
of the country, and those who support
the country. There are but t o classes
Of men. They are for the government or
against it-for jeff DAVIS or against him.
TIL Sc who find fault with everything we
| do, and have no word of condemnation
for the rebels, are for them those who
do not find fault, but detest jeff Davis
and his traitors heartily, are for us-on
| our side The best way to detect traitors
is to take as such all who are continually
finding fault. The next best are those
who say the least against US"
