The friends of humanity are discussing in
the British Parliament wether or not it is
safe to abolish the punishment of fiogging in
the army and navy. The friends of the lash
insist that an English soldier or sailor will be
worthless unless he can be fogged.

Earthquake, Two Distinct Shocks.
From the Leavensworth Bulletin

From the Leavcnsworth Bulletin
This city experienced an earthquake shock
at about fifteen minutes before three o'clock
this afternoon, that will long be remember
ed. We were setting at our office window,
in the third story of brick building. A
general trembling of the building, and rat
thing of windows, quite unusual, first at
tracted our attention. 1t felt like the results
of rolling barrels upon the lower floor. Then
came pause of few seconds, followed by
trembling and vibrating motion of the
whole building, in such forcible manner
as to impress every one Of the imminent
danger of its falling.
Composilors fled their cases, and every
one sought the street for safety and what
was true of this Office, was also true of the
entire city, so far as we could see Blanch-
ed faces and trembling hands were the rule,
steady nerves the exception, among the
crowd that found their way SO hastily to
the street.
The sensation called to mind that pro.
duced by the breaking of car axle under
moving train. The vibration of the build
ing in which we write could not have been
less than three inches from east to west, as
pendulum clocks were stopped, and the
plaster shaken from the upper ceiling.
1t occurring at the moment we were ready
to send the paper to press, forbids the gath.
ering of items. We learn that the dishes
were shaken from shelves at a private house
on Miami street. Messrs. Gautley & Co.
crockery dealers on Delaware street, inform
US that the entire contents of their shelves
were more or less displaced. Piles of dry
goods lying upon counters were tumblet
down in many stores. No serious damag,
has been reported, and we presume none
has been realized.

wThe impression prevailing that the
"New Fee Bill" and the bills allowing par
ties to testify before Court in their own
suits, and repeating the State tax on person
al property, passed both branches of the
Legislature at the late session, and became
laws, is erroneous. A letter has been publish
ed from I. B. CARA, Esq, Deputy Secretary
of the Commonwealth, in which he states
that neither of these measures became laws,
and the prevailing impression on the sub
iect Is amistake. ...

FROM EUROPE.
FRANCE.
wARLIKE MOVEMENTS.

The transportation OF war material from
Lyons to fortresses in the east and north
east OF France is thus accounted for in the
Lyons Salut Public. 1t says that Lyons has
been over stocked on that account of the re-
turn of military supplies from Mexico, and
that these changes were ordered before the
Luxemburg question was agitated, but that
this does Eot mean military inactivity, that
no factories, and that in case of war France
would be most thoroughly provided.
At Toulon, volunteering for the navy, sus-
pended for some time, is again permitted by
order of the Government.
PORTABLE CANNON.
The wonderful French cannon, the con-
struction of which is supposed to be pro-
found secret, can be fred, it is said 40 or
SO times q minute. II carries correctly
1000 yards, and single discharge would
destroy the whole front of battalion. 1t
lie SO light that two men can easily lift it.
VIEWS OF THE FRENCH PRESS.
The Steele is positive that the Cabinet OF
the Tuilleries will accept any honorable
compromise if the evacuation of Luxemburg
by the Prussian garrison be made the first
condition.
The Temps wishes to remove the impres
sion that Napoleon will insist upon taking
possession of the Grand Duchy, and says
| that if this were true war would be inevita-
ble That the uneasiness of the public mind
cannot be quieted till it is known what may
| be the minimum of satisfaction claimed by
the Imperial Government.
The Liberte thinks that war is almost GER
| tain, and that if it comes victory is certain
for France, if she is united, proud and free
the France of '92; and that freedom alone
giving a national character to the war can
save France in the struggle which impends
The Pdtrie has hitherto endeavored to
quiet apprehension by quoting the modera
ton of the Berlin journals, but now expresses
surprise at their change of tone.

eY-T The soldiers will be glad to learn that
the settlement of their additional bounties
is being pushed forward with all the speed
the Government can command, but they
must wait some time yet before they will
all get paid. The Paynaster General is
settling ebout ten thousand claims month,
but there are many thousands of soldiers
who are entitled to the bounty.

A Prize Fight i'm New Jersey.

New YORK, May s.-A prize fight took
place yesterday morning, in Bergen county,
N. j., between VIM. A. Kelly and John Gra-
dy. 11S rounds were fought scientifically,
lasting three hours and ten minutes, and
both men were pummeled shockiugly, when
a general fight among the spectators ensued,
and the referees withdrew, thus making the
contest o draw.

AUSTRIA.
TIE IuxEMBuRa QUESTION.

Austria is taking prominent part in ef-
forts to bring about settlement of the diff
fculties which endanger the peace of Eu-
rope.
The Austrian Premier proposed the an
nexation of Luxemburg to Belgium, and
the cession by Belgium of portion of ter
ritory aud the fortress of Marrinburg to
France, and it is barely possible that this
solution may be accepted by the French
Emperor. ........ H.,.-.-.t

THE THREATENED WAR.

The Prussian papers publish intelligence
from Paris that France is making great pre-
parations for war, while an official dispatch
comes from Berlin, asserting that all the
stories of Prussian preparation are unfound-
ed. AS before the late war with Austria,
the Prussian Government is now endeavor
ing to throw off responsibility, but it keeps
alive the excitement among the people.
In Eastern Gallicia the Prussians are buy
ing horses and grain of every description, at
very high prices. 1t is said that Prussia de-
sires the different South. German States to
place Immediately 100000 men on war
footing.
The North German Gazette of April %
affirms that Prussia is not willing to re-
nounce her right of garrisoning Luxemburg,
and all rumors to the CONTRARY are without
foundation.
PRUSSIA AND DENMARK.
The Prussian Government is reported to
have notified the Court of Copenhagen that
it is ready to fulfill the 9th article of the
Treaty of Prague, which allows the Province
of North Schleswig to rcunite itself with
Denmark, If Denmark will engage to re-
main neutral in case of war. The Danish
Government does not agree to any such re-
strictions, however, upon its freedom of ac-
tion.
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND THE
UNITED STATES.
Negotiations have been resumed between
the Berlin and Washington Cabinets with q
view to enable Germans that have become
American citizens previous to acquitting
themselves of their military duties toward
the mother country, to return home unmo-
lested by the conscription officers. The
proposals of Mr.. Wright, the American Min
lister, who has long la5ored to secure this
benefit to his fellow-citizens, seem to be
favorably entertained by this Government.
Count Bismark recently called upon Mr.
Wright, who, regret to say, continues ill,
and had long conference with him.

PRUSSIA.
TIE LUxEMBURa QUESTION.

Prussia has not yet conceded anything to
France. In Luxemburg the idea is held
that the Grand Duchy cannot be neutralized,
and that the Prussians will eventually evac-
uate the fortress; but in Prussia the national
feelings is so aroused that the Government
would hardly be suffered to yield Luxem-
burg peaceably to France, even if SO dis
posed. -...-
The Correspondence de Berlin, the new Of
fetal paper, designed to explain the policy
of the Prussian Government in France, says
that Prussia cannot give up Luxemburg, and
that "the only solution of the question is
the maintenance of the Statu quo"

B The INDIANs.-The outrages Of the
Indians on parties of whites, crossing the
plains, on their way to California, are of the
most horrible character. Numerous tribes
are now at open war with the Governments
staying all that fall in their hands Accord
ing to the report Of traveller, who was at
tackled and escaped after travelling 1900
miles on foot, Fort Dodge was then sur
rounded by 800 lodges Of Indians. General
Hancock, however, is after them, and 30 is
General Gregg, and the war is being vigor-
ously prosecuted against these merciless and
relentless savages. They should be made to
respect, at least, the laws Of humanity, and
also to understand that repetition of such
cruelties as they have been practising, must
end in total determination.

CHURCH VENTILATION.
An OdOrOus Description from IA cal
cRgO Standpoint.


The Chicago Times thus describes the
odor Of sanctity in that city:
A vapor-a substance which is not
seen. but which may be smelt-rises from
hundreds of steaming bodies and loads the
air with droWsiness and a frowsy odor
Mingled with it are the perfume of new
leather, clothes which for weeks have been
packed and excluded from the air, rancid
drugs used as scents fetid carnations from
unventilated waterfalls, atrocious greases
and pomades used by fancy young men in
plastering into position their Hyperion
curls breaths laden with the aroma of
plug tobacco, decayed teeth, or the fever
Of the preceding nights debauch--all these
give forth, each its peculiar odor, and all
arise commingled, forming a grand chemi-
cal total which we cannot otherwise desig-
nate them as the religious smell. It is a
species of an odor of sanctity, and can be
readily recognized by any one who attends
one of these unVentilated churches in hot
weather. 1t arises and envelopes the
preacher, deadening his energies it de
sends, narcotizing the audience, who yawn
and nod, and fancy themselves wreiehedly
sleepy and inattentive when in truth they
are labosing under the effects Of poison.
If any one will take the trouble to watch
an unventilated church, he viii find that
il does not grow in grace that Its leading
members take their families and 60 off TO
ventilated churches Of other denomina-
tions that the preacher gets to be
drowsy sort Of bore, and the congregation
thins out and the organization languishes.
All this is simply proper retribution for
a parsimony or a stupidity that erects
church edifces without ventilation. SIM
ners, with sensitive olfactories, will not
attempt to be saved in an atmosphere like
that Of bone-boiling establishment. No
preacher can be eloquent, no choir other
than failure, no listener can be wrought
upon, in cases where some hundreds Of
people are being slowed in their own nasty
civilizations, like spoiled CLAIMS in their
own iuices."
