Among the many strange vlrdects which

A "loyal" paper, noting the arrival Of Min
lister Webb from Brazil, and copying his re-
mark that Brazil has no moro respect for the
United States than for Hayti," asks, "whs is
to blame for thati" Fit is meant to intimate
that Webb himself is to blame for it, the
question loses its force from the fact that the
administration has fully endorsed the action
Of minister Webb. The contempt Of Brazil
for the .. 8. arises from the general cussed-
ness not only of most ofou ministers and
government agents to Brazil, but to the
South American states generally. With men
like Washburne, Fitzpatrick, Jones and that
whole breed Of scalawags to represent us
there, no wonder they imagine the U. s. to be

TIE Late Storm.


The spring Of 1860 VIII be long rerneni-
bered throughout the country as marked by
excessive and prolonged rains. In the north
west particularly, TIE wet season has been
severe and disastrous, very seriously affecting
the crop Of small grains and cutting down
the corn crop to probably less than half an
an average yield. ,lro5n 81. 8 lsse
The elimination of the rainy season, how
ever, appeared to be reached on Saturday
and Sunday last. The storm was violent to
an extraordinary degree, and extended over
belt apparently five hundred miles wide,
from New England to Western Kansas. At
this place both rivers rose higher than they
had been in any year in juno since 1874; and
not only here, but down the whole Illinois
valley, all the bottom lands were submerged,
drowning out and destroying many thousand
acres of the richest and best cornfields in the
state. Of course fences by the hundred miles
have been swept away, and incalculal'e dam
age done in many other ways.
The railroads were sufferers everywhere.
The Oh. R. l. & P. r. r. was badly damaged
at Mill Creek, in Iowa, the road being render
ed impossible for ten miles. Trains on the
Fort Wayne road were delayed half day by
the washing away of culyerts. On the North
Western, Illinois Central near Dubuque, CHI
cago and Alton, Peoria aud Toledo, indeed
most of the railroads in illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin and Indiana, more or less damage was
done, with detention of trains. In all this re-
gion.i st was the most extensive and destructive
summer freshet experienced in the last twen-
ty-fve years. e'% ~,

Illinois River Improvement.

Last year the war department set aside $685.
600 ofthe congressional appropriation Of g.
100000 for the Improvement of rivers and
harbors, to be expended upon the Illinois riv-
er; but as the Secretary afterwards concluded
that so small sum would be Of no account to
expend on the Illinois river, he diverted the
$S5,00O from the Illinois, and added it to the
Rock Island appropriation. This year, how
ever, as the Legislature Of Illinois had made
large appropriation to build dam in the Illi-
nois river to improve its navigation, and to
dredge out the entrance to La Sale basin, on
the fact being presented to the Secretary Of
War that the legislative appropriation would
be insufficient for both jobs, he consented
again to set aside $S5,0OO OF last winters ap.
preparation, to be expended in dredging the
channel at La Sale, so that the whole legisla-
tive appropriation can be expended upon the
dam. 1t is therefore reasonably certain that,
during The coming summer, unless continuous
high water shall interfere, both these needed
Improvements dam across :the' Illinois
river above Peoria and the dredging out Of
the channel to the La Sale basin, will be
made. It's estimated that, with these i'm
provcments, a depth of full six feet. at the
very lowest stages of water, will be perma-
nently secured in the Illinois river from Poor
10 to the mouth Of the canal at La Sale An
other dam in the neighborhood of Bcardstown
will then be needed to render the Illinois per-
manently navigable from its mouth at all
stages Of water, except when icebound in
winter.
The dam proposed to be built this summer,
We notice by the proceedings Of the meeting
OF the commissioners at Lockport on Tuesday,
is to be located at Henry. This will render it
necessary also to drcdge the Chillicothe bar
for which it is believe the government appro-
priation will also be sufficient.

nnglish Ictvili.ation.

The debates in the British House Of Com
mons last xeeka Land week before, on the res
olution moved by Mr.. Morne, for an inquiry
into the treatment of the Fenian prisoners,
brought tolight facts which must certainly
tend immensely to lower the commonly con-
ceivcd notion of English humanity and civil
ization. They reveal, with all the force Of
individuality and minuteness Of detail, pic
ture Of convict life sufficiently frightfal to
make ones hair stand on end; bat the horror
Of the picture is intensified when we bear in
mind that the details refer to one in whom
we have had occasion to take special inter
est as the husband of the accomplished lady
by whose readings we were 90 delighted q
few weeks ago. It was stated, on the author
ity of an unimpeachable witness who had had
an interview With O'Donovan Rosa, that
" for thirty-fye days he was kept in dark
cell, with his hands manacled behind his
back, night and day. He was not loosed
even to take his food-thin porridge-which
was left for him on the fooor Of his cell. I'm
less he elected to die Of starvation, he had no
alternative but to tak6it on all tours, a. an
animal does 80 that when he was brought
out in the light Of day, his face was seen by
his fellow-prisoners encrusted with the por-
ridge that adhered to It," Mr.. Bruce, the
Home Secretary, said, in reply to this, that
Rosa had been insubordinate, had refused to
work, had been disrespectful to the Governor,
that his hands were manacled behind his
back only for few hours, that they had been
manacled in front so that he might be able TO
use them in taking his food; also, that he
had broken the furniture In his cell. Mr..
Bruce, however, did not venture to deny the
truth OF the statement referred to. This is
corroborated by the fact that seven letters Of
Rosa to his wife were suppressed because
they contained false statements. Now, We
viii venture to say that O'Donovan Rosa
either told the truth, or believed he told It.
If he erred in his account, we may Judge from
it how noble mind may be wrecked by the
miseries and tortures of convict's life. RIOS
50 has been now prisoner for more than four
and half years. During that time he has
lnanifestly suffered more than another would
in thrice the time. His offence was that,
being member Of the press, he wrote and
published pro-Fenian articles What could
have induced the English government, after
some time since discharging forty-seven Fe-
mans, to retain Rosa in custodyf The pub
lie admiration for his wife must be enhanced,
by the reflection, that wherever she has gone,
she has carried with her the recollection Of
him in his dungeon.

Mr.. Trevellick,

On Saturday evening we had the pleasure
Of hearing Mr.. Trevellick, member Of the
Executive Committee of the National Labor
Union, and speaker in behalf of the cause the
N. L. Union is organized to support, of some
note and prominence. Mr.. Trevellick is said
to be ship carpenter by trade, is evidently o
man OF limited education, but of great natural
ability, and a fluent, ready and engaging
speaker. The theme of his lecture he an
nounced to be, "Land, Labor and Money"
His speech was some two hours in length,
somewhat disconnected and rambling, yet
full Of strong and telling points. He was
stoned to by large audience, chiefly of work
ing men, and was frequently and bolster
ously applauded.
We took no notes, and shall therefore make
no attempt to give even rough outline Of his
remarks. On the lands question, he spoke
earnestly against the accumulation Of large
estates in single families or individuals, and
especially against the profuse, and no doubt
in many cases corrupt lavishment Of the pub
lie lands upon soulless corporations. No one
will question the truth Of his position that
the system was one of sheer robbery of the
honest labor Of the country.
He portrayed the dignity of labor, It's i'm.
portance to the community and body polite,
and asserted for it certain naturally resulting
rights. These were, among Others, protection
against being pluudered by non-producing
capital, by legislative favoritism, the grant
ing Of unjust monopolies, privileges and fran
chises, and the like.
On the money question he gave us substan-
tally the ideas held by Mr.. Alex. Campbell, of
La Sale, with which our readers are gener-
ally acquainted.
There is doubtless still good deal Of un-
digested crudeness about the ideas and aims
Of the SO called labor party, but there is one
grand idea.that they see clearly enough, and
that is that the tendency in this country, un-
der the present order Of things, is towards the
oppression and degradation of labor, and that
this is tendency which the laboring men
themselves can alone arrest, and that it must be
done by prompt, vigorous and united action.
I 1t mayil that the plans they now propose
mny failof their object but give them the
power In the state their numbers and impor.
lance entitle them to, and if one plan fails
they are in aposition to improve On it OF
adopt another. Great reforms, like. greai
trees, need time to grow and assume oil their
proper stately proportions; but keep the
ground clear around them, supply the prope,
nourishment, and they never fail to affair
their due altitude and symmetry Of proportion
