AND INCIDENTS.


AND INCIDENTS.
With an evident desire to avoid public
notice, and am equally apparent popular one
to allow the late State prisoner an unnoticed
STAY in this city very few incidents of interest
or Importance transpired yesterday at the New
York Hotel. Outside of about one hundred
personal friends and curious visitors, no others
presented themselves to pay their regards or
crafty their inQuisitiYeness. The following
were among those who called on or obtained
interviews with Mr.. Davis during yesterday:
General Deas, Mr.. Myers, of Savannah,
James ]. Van Allen, and M. Varian. -ai
e At an early hour in the morning large num-
bers of personal friends in the city left their
cards, which were placed in Mr.. Davis box at
{ the hotel, and when be had arisen and break
tasted, at eleven o'clock, the most of them
were granted interviews. These were admitted
to his room, which is on the lower foor from
the private entrance ON Eighth street. A
number of gentlemen of the press also sent
their cards to Mr.. Davis and requested an in
terview In response to this his brother, Gene
raj Joseph Davis, was deputed to give these
gentlemen all the information that he could.
He remarked that Mr.. Davis was very much
indisposed from the fatigue of travelling, and
that he would not leave the city on Thursday,
as at first decided upon.
The room of Mr.. Davis was crowded for
several hours by visitors, with whom he con-
Versed on a variety OF topics, not disdaining
to allude passingly among his friends to Gem
eral John G. Breckenridge and others whe
figured notoriously in the Rebellion. From
2 O'Clock until late in the afternoon Mr..
Davis, with no one presentbut his brother,
availed himself of the recuperatiye adyan-
tages of quiet slumber, and afterwards re-
ceived his friends and oonversed with them as
before. The names of the Davis party have
been entered on the register OF the hotel as
rfollows;--Dr. John G. Craven, of New Jersey;
Jefferson Davis, child, and servant; Mrs.
Davis, Miss Howell, Joseph r. Davis, OF Mis-
sissippi.
M. Davis did not visit the Ristori matinee
yesterday afternoon, and his visit to the resi-
dence Of Charles 0'Conor has been deferred o.
abandoned. During the evening Mr.. Davis
remained in comparative seclusion. Mr.
Charles 0'Conor and Mr.. George Shea stayed
in his room from Z TO o'clock and during
part Of the time General Hooker, Attorney
General of Mississippi, was also present. Mr.
Davis retired at an early hourly Y. Herald

The MooN.-It appears that our great ter
restrial timepisce, hitherto supposed to be
keeping most perfect time, requires correcting
and rating In the course of the last two
thousand years, ii has lost nearly an hour and
a quarter, says the Quarterly Journal of Science,
and, compared with its motion at the begin
ing of that interval, it is now losing one
second in twelve weeks. The day is also
lengthening, and will continue to do so until
it is equal in length to'the lunar day-that is,
to our lunar month. The inhabitants of the
earth may console themselves, however, for
the rate Of change will diminish continually,
and even If it did not, thirty billions
of years would have to elapse before the
change would be fully effected. . But al
though the race at present inhabiting
the earth is not likely TO be affected
either for good or for evil by the process of
change we have been considering, it is impos-
sibe not to look with interest into the vista of
the far future, and trace our earth in its
gradual progress to the condition now pre-
sented by the lnoon-=to its degradation may
we not surmise, from the pOsitionit it now holds
as life slstainer. Looking backward into
the far past, we see progress OF a like nature
through which our moon has passed while the
earths strong influence has been exerted on
her rotation, coercing it down to correspond
enoe with her revolution. We see her sub
iected, meanwhile, to other changes not less
desBuctve. The bloom of life has long since
passed from her face. Who shall say that our
own beautiful earth will not one day resemble
her .Iaf r.H.all .ali Itue.b 3..I0s.I

A fight occurred among the negroes at work

Mayor Heath attempted to address the
rioters, but he was insulted by obscene re-
marks, and could not influence them. He
Immediately asked assistance from the mill

suppress the riot, and his request was granted.

A DREADFUL DEATH.

WOMAN FALLS INTO A VAT OF BOILING WATER.
From the Chicago Tribune, l4h.
Mrs. Juliana Nangle, the wife of Mr.. John
Nangle, who owns brewery on Reuben street,
between Hubbard and Indiana, came to her
death on Friday last in a shocking manner.
At about half-past in the evening, she went
into the brewery; she stepped up to the great
vat, about seven feet high, and containing
nearly five feet of water-very hot, but not
boiling-and by some means lost her balance,
and plunged headlong in. Her screams were
heard by her brother-in-law, who ran to the
spot, and tried to draw her out of the blister
ing water. He found, however that his
efforts alone were insufficient, and was obliged
to leave the woman while he went for assist
ance. When she was finally drawn out, she
had been fifteen minutes in this fearful place.
and the skin was boiled off the lower part of
the body, and in some places the flesh had
parted from the bones. She had manged to
keep her face above the water, and SO the fea-
lures were not materially changed, but the
rest of her person formed a shocking spectacle
Death of course ensued.

Attempted EIOpement Under Peculiar
circumstance.
FF0nl tho Cleveland Pldindealer. MdyA

From The Cleveland Plaindealer, lfdyA
Last evening" at about o'clock, persons
residing ON Tbompson's alley, near Pearl
street, west side, were startled by the cry Of
murder. Rushing towards the spot whence
the cry came, they saw an infuriated man pur-
suing woman, evidently bent upon bringing
her mortal career to an abrupt termination.
Seeing the sensation he was creating he
spoke to the crowd thus:-"G Gentlemen, this
woman is my wife, and she is trying to leave
me and run away with another man, leaving
q little baby seven months old on the bed at
home. If you don't believe she's trying to
run away with another man, come with me
and I'll prove it," They then followed him
to the residence-in the vicinity-of man
who recently had an arm broken through
a coal oil explosion, where were shown ample
proofs of the husbands assertion, in the
matter of notes that had passed between the
taithless wife and the wounded man. It APP
peared that the former lived with her hus-
band on the Heights. She is but twenty-five
years old, and has not been long married.
She had planned to run away to Ogdensburg
with the brOken-armed man, and the guilty
pair were to have left last evening on the boat.
The husband gotwind of the affair, however,
and quickly followed his wife; and from the fact
that the Ogdensburg boat did not leave as
they expected, succeeded in catching her at
her lovers house. The last that was seen Of
the husband and wife, they were driving
towards the Heights in a close carriage. ti'I

journey, and will speak here, at the CAPITOL.
on Saturday, according to promise. From
here he goes to Atlanta and Chay.lotte. Gene
raj Swayne, Commander of tie Military Dis
trict, received the Judge at Headquarters.
General Swayne, accompanied by General
Dunn, Assistant judge Advocate, left for
Mobile this evening to investigate the riots.
1t is not known what course he may pursue.
He may find 1t Heeessary to take the same
decisive steps which he did at Selma, lately,
and clean out all the municipal authorities,
from Mayor to patrOlmen. If So, the lives
of loyal citizens may be safe from outrage,
tolnented by violent press and abetted by a
Rebel police. At present they are not worth

The respectable citizens profess great indig-
nation at the riot, Mayor Withers waited on
Mr.. Kelley yesterday, and urged him to hold
another meeting, promising to insure him
safety, Mr.. Kelley peremptorily refused to

New YORK, May 1.-THE steamer Virginia,

Vera Cruz still continued, but there was
but little activity on either side. The city

A DEsPAIRNG WDow.-The GGzeta Nara
doco, OF Lemberg relates that the Countess
Czapska, after the condemnation of her hus-
band to hard labor, had proceeded to st.
Petersburg to solicit his pardon. But, being
unsuccessful in her application, she fell into a
state of detection, and returned to wilma,
borne down with grief and in a declining state
of health. She dragged on a melancholy
existence for some time but at length resolved
to put an end to her life. With that object
she seated herself in an armchair, having
first surrounded it With large heap Of paper
and then SO tAre to the mass. The smoke at
tracted the attention of her servants, who
found her with smile on her lips and firmly
resolved to die. She was extricated from the
funeral pile she had prepared but was SO
badly burnt that she died two days after i'm
fearful suferings, leaving FIVE children.
