A Murderer Pursued by his Victims
EhoSt.

The New Orleans Picayune SAYS: There
are few c2ses of mania exhibiting such pc
culiar features as that of Mr.. Spencer
living on Louisa street, in this city. Some
years ago he engaged In a difficulty with a
man named hunt, whom he killed. They
had been friends from their boykOod. and
up to the day of the fatal affray had never
felt for each other aught but friendship and
kindness. 1t is said of them, too that they
had shared many perils and bonds of sym
patty linked them by stronger ties than
usually cements ordinary friends. But a
trifing dispute occurred, and in a moment
of intemperate passion the fatal thrust was
given, and his old friend lay dead at his
feet His horror at the homicide threw
him into fever, ofwhich he came near dy-
ing. For months he lowered on the verge
of the grave, and wht n he at last recovered
it was with the impression that the ghost
of his friend, clad In grave clothes, was ev-
er at his side His mind, rational upon
every other subject, clings to this delusion
and no persuasion or reason can remove
the impression or cure him of the
mania 1t goes with him to his business,
which he conducts with the same sagacity
and skill that he ever did. 1t its with
him in his family circle; is by his side in
the street, and lies down with him when
he goes to bed at night. He often con-
verses with it, and imagines that he re-
ceives replies to his questionings. He saws
for years the ghost maintained toward him
stern aspect, refusing all Cancellation,
but of late years it has assumed toward him
a more friendly demeanor. He believes il
will 90 with him through life, as pen
ance for his crime. The law acquitted him,
but this is the Judgment of Heaven.

BRITISH AND SPANISH CONFERENCE.-THE
British and Spanish Ministers have had o
conference within two or three days which
seems, from what is said about it in diplo-
matte circles, to have been of some signif-
canoe. 1t took place at the instance OF
Mr.. Thornton, who appears to be especial
ly DESTROYS of seeing how the United states
observes and enforces its neutrality laws,
and there are reasans for believing tb 1t his
talk with the Spanish Minister was Upon
this subject. The latter could eItainly
tell him, good deal about the situation in
New York with respect to Cuban affairs.
Some persons believe England is prepar-
ing to meet certain of our demands on the
Alabama question, with the assertion that
we do not enforce our neutrality laws any
better than she did.

Intoxicated Robins.

correspondent of the Boston Journal
Of Chemistry writes:
do not remember having seen it motto
ed in print, but the robins which leave
their Northern home to winter at the
South, fall, while there, into very bad hab-
its. They are exceedingly fond of the ber-
ries of the pride of India" tree which
is grown extensively for ornament and
shade in some localities of Georgia and
Florida. AS this tree bears its fruit
abundantly, somewhat after the
manner of mountain ash in northern lati-
tudes, birds collect upon it in great mum.
bers, and after feeding awhile many of them
become so intoxicated that they can neither
fly nor remain perched on the branches,
but fall to the ground Here they are
picked up by the colored population, who
esteem them very nice material for pot
pies. If left undisturbed the little crea-
lures soon recover from their indiscretion,
but like some human beings, learning nc
wisdom from experience, and consulting
appetite at the expense of safety, they again
return to the tree, and indulge themselves
with its delicious but dangerous fare"

JOHN c. RIvES.

"7he Founder of the Congressional Globe"
The home of this remarkable man Is four
miles from Washington City, on the bat
tle-ground o. Bladesburg. There he bought
a large farm and built himself huge house,
surrounded with three stories OF piazzas
and containing thirty-two rooms. Here
may be seen the rifle which killed. Cilley, a
Derringer, now forty years old, four feet
and a half long, brass butted, somewhat
carved, and made in Philadelphia; the
leather-eovered chair of Andrew Jackson !:
a mortgage, still bearing annual interest,
upon the estate of the Hermitage; and
portraits from life of Silas Wright and
many other statesmen of the post-Jackson
period. In the shady grounds of this
house, by the side of the rail to Baltimore,
is the grave of Mr. Rives, and in one end
of his vault are packed awa.g the stereotype
plates of the Globe. He desired to be
buried by his work. The dwelling Is now
inhabited by w. and F. Rives. Here,
in the period before the war gathered all
the leading statesmen of both parties and
sections-here Lincoln and Cabinet have
visited. 1t has become by the memory of
those years one of his historic seats of the
District of Columbia, and it stands upon
boundary line of the same. Rives was the
greatest shot and the most powerful man
of his time. He put seven balls consecu-
lively through the same hole of stave at
sixty yards. and Davy Crockett seeing this,
refused to shoot with him. During the
war he gave $50, 900 to the widows of Fed
eral soldiers.

A Tubular Railway between England
and France.

The newest of the new plans for connect
ing England with France by railway, is
that of submerged iron tube, to be sup
portedat depth of about so feet below the
surface of the water by iron trestles, the
feet of which will rest upon the bed of the
straits. The tube is to be in its outside
diameter % feet 6 inches, and with view
of giving it sufficient strength it is to be Of
cast iron, inches in thickness. Its length
between each pair of legs or supports is to
be 800 #, and the weight of each of these
sections 5000 tons. Each of these lengths
is to be made up of segments of 81 feet 6
inches, and these are to be firmly bolted
together by means of steel bolts passing
through internal fanges. Each segment
will be made water-tight by bulkhead.
and will be lowered until it is brought into
exact position with the portion previously
fixed, and when made fast by the bolts the
near bulkhead viii be removed, and the
workmen will pass on the next segment
The ventilation of the tube is to be pio-
yided by stationary steam power at one Of
the entrances to the tube, which will force
a sufficiency of air through a channel con-
structed along the inner roof of the tube to
point about midway of its entire length.

THE COLORADO EXPEDITION.
Major Powell and Twenty MeE
Engulpned In Vortex.

Major Powell and Twenty Men
Engulpned In q Vortex.
: 4 rumor that was ahoat few days since
that the Powell expedition had been lost in
the frightful canon of the Colorado River,
but which was hoped would prove untrue,
is painfully confirmed by the following
dispatch from Springfield, Illinois, dated
the I'd:
John A. Risdon, the sole survivor of the
Major Powell exploring expedition, ar
rived IN this city this morning, and was
furnished transportation to his home in La
Sale There is no longer any doubt of the
fate of the party, as the following story
truthfully tells
On the Sth of May last the Major, with
twenty men, attempted to cross the Colo
rods above it's rapids, and about fifty miles
from the canon, for the purpose of explor
ing the Big Black River, which empties in
to the Colorado at that point. " hen about
thirty yards from the shore, gliding along
on the apparently smooth water, the boat
was seen to enter vortex which at ONCE
engulphed it, and not one of the party
which left the score few moments before,
gaily cheering, was ever seen afterwards.
Risdon, who had been left at the point of
embarkation. saw the boat 60 down. He
had been left IN charge of the teams and
baggage belonging to the party, and was
TO have gone below the rapids to meet the
party in two days. He remained some
time in the vicinity of the catastrophe,
and then he went around and be-
low the rapids, with o hope of discover
ing some of the bodies, and while on the
lookout, he saw floating, some distance out
in the stream, the Majors satchel, which
contained the notes of the expedition. He
swan ont into the stream to recover it
After remaining three days on the lookout,
he started for lie Roy, military post one
hundred and seventy miles distant from
that point on the Colorado, bringing with
him all the baggage, ETC., belonging to the
party, which was shipped by Major Smith,
the commander of the post, to La Sale, IL
linois Major Smith also sent out an ex-
petition to examine the matter, and, If
possible recover some of the bodies, which
returned after Ruthless search.
The expedition was to have returned this
fall, and WAS composed of the following
gentlemen: Major Powell, of Bloomington !;
William and Charles Durley, Il. W. Smith.
and Andrew Knoxen. of Hennepin; David
Sellers, Thomas Mooney, Charles Sullivan,
Fred. Buckingham, OF La Sale; Fred. My
ers, Charles Sanburn, VIM. Scott VIM. An
drew, Geo. Thomas and VIM Sherman, of
Bureau Junction; Thos- Stockton, of Nor
NAL, three or four from near Bloomington,
two half-breed guides and John A. Risdon,
of La Sale, who is now here. -'
