In accordance with one of the most
absurd supersIitions. on March 20th the
bodies of the murdered Mr.. and Mrs.
Todd were placed on a table in a church
in Lebanon. Ind. and after a board OF
eight judges had been appointed, a
crowd OF 200 people were required TO file
past and touch the bodies under the
idea that when the guilty one should
touch the corpse, the blood would afresh
oOze IRON the wounds. Ii didn't ooze,
however. so the judges pronounced all
innocent, and the murderer is yet un-
known.

Shocking Condition ofthe American
Barbarians Of the Plains.


The following amusing burlesques of
the style of journalism prevalent in the
Far West were copied recently into an
English paper, with severe comments
upon the shocking condition OF the
American barbarians of the Plains:
"A little Bit of romance has Just trans
pired TO relieve the monotony of our
metropolitan life. Old Sam Choggins
whom the editor of this paper has so
often publicly thrashed, has returned
from Mud Springs with a young wife.
He is said TO be very fond of her, and
the way he came TO get her was this:
Some time ago we cour;ed her, but
finding she was on the make, threw her
of. after shooting her brother and two
cousins. She vowed revenge, and prom-
ised 10 marry any man who would horse
whip US. This, Sam agreed to under>
take, and she married him on that
promise. We shall call on Sam to mor>
row with our new shotgun. and present
our congratulations in the usual form"

heroic, pathetic and tragic tale OF
young. beautiful and wealthy Cuban
damsel, (Senorita Aldama) who. while
waving the American flag from her
fathers box in a Havana theatre, was
shot dead by a blood-thirsty Spaniard,
who in turn had his head instantly shot

this country. Our Havana correspond

behalf of the truth of history where
the SenoFita will doubtless figure, we

A serious riot occurred at the west end
of Hudson, N. j., last evening, between
some English miners and crowd of
Irishmen, in which number Of persons

refusal Of Mr.. Howard to give liquor to
three Irishmen. A large mob attacked
the house, tearing down the shutters and
smashing windows. A number of per-
sons were arrested and conveyed to
prison; but, with one exception, they
we're subsequently admitted to bail.

CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANoIsco, May 8.-The Pacific
railroad celebration to day was one to be
remembered for long time in San Fran
cisco. The day was ushered in by a
salute of one hundred guns, and all the
Federal forts and vessels in the barbor
fred a salste; the city bells were set
ringing and steam whistles screaming.
At night the whole city was illuminated,
and presented brilliant appearance.
The procession was the largest and most
enthusiastic ever witnessed in San Fran
cisco, the people being SO willing and
eager to serve an event of so much i'm
portanee to this city and the Pacific
coast that they turned out en- masse, and
business generally was suspended.
Nearly every citizen exhibited hearty
interest in the demonstration. The mill
tary and civic display was grand.
In addition to the State militia, all
available United States troops from sew
eral forts participated in the occasion,
while civic societies turned out full ranks.
The city and harbor presented msgnif-
cent sight during the day, the principal
streets being draped with banners of
every nation and thronged with joyous
people. The shipping was dressed in
fine style. A dispatch from the juno
tioa road, announcing the driving of the
last spike in the Central Pacific road at
10 q m, sent a thrill of joy through the
city. Congratulatory messages were
transmitted to the directors of the Cen
trail Pacific and Union Pacific by the
California Pioneers at Sacramento. The
event was celebrated in the grandest man.
ner. The city was crowded with null
titude of people from all points of the
State and Nevada. The Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows, new in session in this city,
accepted an invitation to attend the
demonstration. Parties from Nevada,
Grass Valley, Vallejo. San Francisco,
PlacerviIle, San Jose, Marysville, Vir-
GINA City and Gold Hill were also in at
tendance. The line of travel from Sacra-
mento was thrown open to the public,
free, and an immense number of people
took advantage of this circumstance and
focked hither. The Central Pacific rail.
road company had three locomotives
gaily decorated and ranged in front Of
the city, and as signal gun announced
the driving Of the last spike, the locomo-
tives opened chorus whistles, and all the
bells and steam whistles Joined. Pro-
found regret was expressed that the
roads were notjoined to-day. The failure
is attributed to the obstinacy or inability
Of the upper road in making the connec-
ton. Dispatches from the Promontory
say several hundred men seized train
at Piedmont, on which President Durant
was, telling him they were in hurry aud
must have their money, and would not
let it go till the money was forthcoming.
