THE BLACK CRoOK.-As we anticipated,
the Opera House was crow ded ,st nigh
from parquette 10 dome, to witness the
representation Of that grand spectacular
drama. and from the frequent bursts of
applause 1t was manifest that the audi
ence wcs very generally well pleased. It
was put upon the stage in credItable style,
witt gorgeous scenery and brilliant cos
tunes. The playing throughout was gen.
orally good, and some of the dancing was
really fine. The March OF the Amazons
did not equal that in the representation
of Zorastresgast season. Messrs. Davey g.
Co. have spared no expense in their effors
TO make the representation attractive.
The Black Crook will be repeated tonight
with most gorgeous style and cannot fail
to attract another large audience. On Sat-
urday afternoon a matinee will be given,
and the White Fawn viii be presented at
night.

Death of senator Fes.enden.

Hon. WILLIAM PITT FEssENDEN. Sem
ator from Maine, died at Portland, in
that State, yesterday morning. Senator
FEsSENDEN had been seriously i'll for
some time and his death had been ex-
pected for several days.
AS Secretary of the Treasury under
Mr.. LINCOLN, Mr.. FESsENDEN gained a
high national reputation. II is no dis
paragement TO his successors to say that
neither of them has equaled him i'll
financial ability.
In the Senate of the United States he
ranked with the foremost members. In
the opinion of many, his legislative
ability was the finest in that body. For
clearness of statewent and directness of
argument he was certainly not excelled
by any of his colleagues, while his cul-
ture, training and general information
were such as beftted his. eminent sta
tion. The State of Maine has no man
to supply his place, and the country will
unite with her in mourning his death

BoutweII'- Policy.

1t cost the government fOrty.iive mil
lions of dollars to redeem thirty seven
million of bonds, not due for eighteen
years. This is what BOUTWELL, calls
making money. Some people think it
is increasing the public debt.
The Hon. THOMAS EWING, the veteran
statesman of Ohio, in recent letter
thus refers to this much admired policy
of Secretary boutwell,:
While l am writing, the Secretary OF
the Treasury reports that he has paid
off another two millions of the five
twenties. They were, by the express
terms of the law under which they were
borrowed, payable in legal-tender notes.
He paid them in legal-tender notes, and
added as a guaranty four hundred thou
sand dollars-he paid $500, 900 in cur
reucy for S2,000,000 due in currency.
This is simple plunder, excused by no
reasonable doubt or ambiguity of fact
or language. There should be an end
to this. The whisky rings and all other
rings, official and unofficial, formed to
deiyaud the revenue and plumber the
Treasury, played at chiId's play COM
pared with this Carried to its utmost
result it will rob the Union Of more than
seven hundred millions, principal and
| interest, in the next ten years. And il
will be so, unless the people by an EN-
phatic vote forbid it. The public treas
ury will be added to the public Offices tC
fill the measure of the spoils; without il
they are quite too small to meet the
pressing wants of the party.

question of right apart, has legislation
the power to suppress the evil. Finding
o malignant ulcer OH the social body,
these political doctors undertake to
drive it back. They seem not to know
that it Is there and will not be driven
back, and their attempt will only ag-
gravate the disease and infallibly pro-
duce other disease. So it has worked
in Massachusetts,; so it will work every
where. Not statutory but moral reme-
dies are what is needed. These politi-
cal doctors must learn that the heroic
treatment is exploded. They must
repudiate the constant use of lance and
drastic poisops, and adopt a rational
practice. They must address the gen.
eral system with tOnics, higher educa-
tiOn and higher moral culture, and
then not only this ugly tumor, but a
legion of Others, gambling, cocktight-
ing, prize.fghting, duelling, will vanish
like mist before the rising sun. Adopt
ing such a policy these philanthropic
and good men will receive, instead of
opposition and Jeers, the hearty sympa;
thy and cooperation of thousands and
tens of thousands of both parties.

An Knrthaunke Coming.

The San Francisco Chronicle publishes
the following prediction, made by a
local philosopher, W. Frank Stewart:
During the past eighteen months the
earth and other planets completed the
most remarkable conjunction which has
ever occurred; and on the night OF the
l4th of last November we again wit
messed the grand thirty-four year star
swarm. Every intelligent person is
aware that for a period of nearly two
years our globe has been subjected to
violent perturbations, such as have not
before occurred for many centuries.
These perturbations have been general
ly over the surface of the planet.
Storms, typhoons, volcanoes, earth
ouakes, intense cold and scorching
winds have alternately spent their fury
upon the denizens of every hemisphere.
By careful observations, astronomers
have found that in period of about
eleven years the sun turns toward us q
remarkably spotted disc, and it has also
been observed tlat any sudden changes
Of light and shade upon the sun during
this spotted period instantly affect ter
restrial magnets. 1t is we'll known

sunspot perturbations was Immediately
followed by one of the most brilliant
Aurora Borealis ever witnessed in
the northern hemisphere; and still more
surprising, the magnetic effect of the
aurora was so great that messages were
frequently sent over telegraph lines
without connection with the batteries,
and by means of the auroral current
alone. Many additional facts, showing
the connection of celestial with terres-
trial magnetism, might be given, but |
have neither the time nor room at pres
emf. Suffice it to say that, as the
earth's magnetic forces are now and
for many months have been great
ly disturbed by cosmical influences;
and as we have recently made our an
nual transit through the nebulous
belt; and as the suns surface is at this
moment disfgured by an unusual num-
Der of spots; and as the moon on the 7th
instant passed between US and the sun,
thereby causing an additional magnetic
disturbance upon the EARTH and as we
on the Pacific coast are now experiencing
an unusually protracted dry season, the
invariable precursor OF trembl0rS in this
part of the world; for the foregoing and
many other potenb reasons, predict
heavy earthquake to take place early
next autumn, as soon as moist clouds
float into the dry, vaporless atmosphere.

Five Kinds of Wine nt n Juvenile
PurfN

We heard fact related the other day,
upon uuquestionable authority, which
saddened and amazed us. 1t was to this
effect, that at the birthday party" i'll
this city, given by little girl, and at
tended by her playmate boys and girls,
five different kinds of wine made por-
tisn of an entertainment which was
partaken of with great gusto by the
happy crowd. This was supported by
another fact-that little boy whose
birthday was approaching, and who
greatly desired to give a party in honor
of it, was deferred from so doing by the
parental nterdict of wine as a portion
of tue feast, and by the feeling that so
many unpleasant remarks would be
made if such party were given
without wine, that it would be pre-
ferabe TO ignore the occasion alto
gctIcr. 1t seems we'll nigh in
credible that such state of things can
exist in nominally Christian circle of
society; and that parents who expect
their children to grow up IN such n
world of temptation as this is, should
dare to take the fearful risks insepara-
BILE from such domestic training. No
father and no mother could possibly
contemplate, without shudder, the
probable ruin of child by drunken
ness. How, then, can they bring them
selves to look with indulgence upon a
state of things indicating tastes so de
praved, almost in the very nursery J
And if, when they cast wheat into the
ground they expect wheat crop, how
can they fail to anticipate harvest of
temporal and eternal wretChedneSs and
ruin from such a sowing All questions
of mere law sink into insigniticance in
comparison with such question of the
practices of "good society" as this.

twenty-five were cured; of the second
only eight. Two-thirds of the whole

a Remarkable Battle.

The Gilman In.) Journal says; A few
days since, Mr.. Abraham, who is visiting
athis son-in-law's, Capt W. II. Mann, OF
this place, was an eye witness TO the fol-
Lowing scene of combat between a snake,
a rooster and frog. While sitting IN
the verandah, Mr.. Abraham heard the
pitiful cries of frog in distress. No
sooner had he turned his eyes in the
direction from whence the cries proceed
ed than ne observed a young rooster
who had also been attacked by TIE
same cries of distress, and who was Just
beginning a furious attack upon some
thing which Mr.. Abraham could not
distinguish. Upon approaching neal cT
the spot he found snake which hau
caught frog, and was making arrange
ments for a square meal. The rooster
had in turn attacked the snake, and Oy
dint of moral suasion, applied with bill
and spur, succeeded in causing 1t TO
relinGuish the frog. AS soon as
the rooster was in possession OF
the frog he ceased fighting ana
commenced eating frog meat, where
upon the snake, in return, made a
charge upon him, which was gallantIy
repeiled by the rooster, who made OIL
with the frog and finished his dinner
His meal finished, the rooster returned
and again engaged in combat with the
snake. The fight resulted in the defeat
of the chicken, which sought safety ID
flight, leaving his snakeship victor oi

The Rutland, Vermont, Herald says
As hunting party were going up to
the top of Pine Hill they heard splash
ing of water in brook near by, aud on
looking, discovered an adder with live
fish in his mouth, struggling TO escape.
The adder, however, succeeded in bring
Ing the fish ashore, Notwithstanding the
diameter of the two were about equal.
As they reached the dry land by the side
OF the brook, one of the party threw a
stone at the adder, upon which the tish
escaped and got into the water again.
The adder again entered the stream and
seized the fish a second time, and after
doing so retreated in good order down
the stream, and escaped the vigilance OF
those who sought his life.
