BE- The insane opposition of the
House Of Lords to the Irish disestab-
lishment bill is met by Bright, Glad
stone and the Government, by the
demand for total disestablishment,
instead OF even the compromise on
which they had framed the bill that
passed the commons. The yeoman-
ry of England are too strong for the
lords, and the latter must either
yield or vacate their noble House.

aa" A Wilmington n. c., paper
says: "a number of catfish eggs,
perfect curiosities in their way, were
exhibited to the gaze of the curious
by a party of young men who had
obtained about sixty from a fish
caught In our river. The egg is
round, somewhat transparent and
contains the young fish and that up
on which he lives. The young one
can be distinctly seen through the
thin skin of the egg, in all its perfect
proportions, and, when placed in
Water, gives signs of life"

A CIRCUS IN a SToRM.-The Dav-

"On Monday, Bailey & Co.'S Menag>

its brilliancy, the thunder was terrif-
lc, and the rain, violently driven by
the wind, came down in sheets. A
panic seized the whole cavaIcade-
men, horses and animals seemed ter
ror-stricken. Eight of the drivers
deserted their teams, and it was not
long before wagons and horses were
in inextricable confusion-a TANNED
up mass of laundering animals and
overturned vehicles. The darkness,
save when lightning illuminated the
scene, was impenetrable. The Gagged
lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, and
other beasts, became frightened, and
bounded from side to side of their
prisonss and roared and growled, and
shrieked with terror. The lightning
came nearer and nearer, until its
thunder seemed to break in the
midst of the caravan. The elephants
laid down in the road and refused to
move. Three of the horses were
struck BY lightning and killed. 1t is
a wonder that no human lives were
lost. At daybreak the scene pre-.
sented beggars description. Imagine
it from the above account Of the
nights experience. 1t was the
worst adventure that ever befel a
circus in this portion of the West.
The show reached Davenport at a
late hour in the day, men and teams
well nigh exhausted by the terrible
nights work and the hard journey
which followed it"

JEFF DAVIS MANsIoN.-The guess
ton as to the ownership of the SO call.
ed Jeff Davis mansion, in Richmond
is soon to be brought into court. 1t
was bought by the city, in 1861, for
SAT 900, with the intention of giving
it to the Confederacy as residence
for its President. The rebel Con-
gress declined to accept it, but au-
thorzed its renting for the use OF
jeff. Davis. 1t fell into our hands
when Richmond was captured, and
has been under the control of the
War Department ever since. The
City Council now sets up claim to
it, and is going to present a big bill
for rent, which it is presumed, the
department will refuse to pay, and
then the suit is to be brought.

ssgS Several countries of Continent

R4- Several countries of Continents
al Europe are at present considera-
bly, agitated by the question wheth,
er the public schools are to have q
sectarian or unsectarian character
In many towns of Bavaria popular
vote is taken on the subject. The
Catholic bishops and part of the
Pro testant clergy are making ex.
traordinary efforts to influence the
people in favor of sectarian schools.
but the vote of the people in nearly
all the towns from which returns
have been received has thus far been
overwhelmingly on the other side.
In one town, Neustadt, $50 Protest
ants, 545 Catholics, and all the Jews,
voted for unsectarian schools, and
only one Protestant and one Roman
Catholic against. Similar votes are
reported from number Of other
towEs. In Austria, the control of
the public schools is now no longer
in the hands Of the church, but Of the
state government, which is determin-
cd to organize the whole public
school system on an unsectarian
basis. In Holland, the recent cleo
tioLs to the second chamber secure
a considerable majority in favor of
maintaining the present unsect tartan
character of the public schools.

men and the Quakers. He finds one
tribe-the Pueblos, 5000 in number
who are considerably advanced in
civilization. They live in stone hous-
es, neatly plastored, from l to stor.
les high, built on the tops Of high,
rocky bluffs, to be capable of easy
defense. They are peaceable, and
have had very little to do with the
whites. They make pottery, wooden
blankets,a and raise corn. beans, peach>

and schools and tools. They are
within a three days walk of Pres
colt, Arizona. Mr.. Colyer says that
a lasting peace is now being arrang-
ed with the Apaches. The depreda>
tons on the plains were committed
by remnants of tribes, but having
been whipped, they are now gone to
their reservations.

D.,teri,y Of En., Indian Thieves.

The report of the Inspector Of Indian
Prisons contains the following remarks
on the dexterity of thieves in India.
He says: Cbeynes, or cut purses, are
men who carry small knives as sharp as
razors in their mouths; they frequent
bazaars, and, with wonderful instinct,
feel out the hooks on a ryot's person,
where he has tucked the corner of his
cummerbund in which his money is tied
up, and then, with a neatness still more
wonderful, the Cheyne snicks OFT the bit
of cloth with his knife and disappears
with the rupees. Then there are the
Synhya. aud Burryars, professional
burglars, who mine into q zenana, COM
ing up through the floor like a stage
ghost, and with less noise. They will
file off and open the bangles and nose
rings of the sleeping women without
awakening them, and then disappear as
they came. The ordinary burglar, the
Desadh or Bhsnys, posts his confederate
sentinel, and then picks hole in the
mud wall-of house with his sindmurry.
When the hole is sufficiently large to
push boy through, or to get through
himself, he carefully inserts ghurra or
stick through the hole If the ghurra
is not immediatel smashed by blow
from the INSIDE for it sometimes hap
pens that thej inmate is alarmed, and
stands on his guard near tn o hole inside,
with stick or sword, waiting for the
burglars head TO appear-he sees that
the coast is clear, and proceeds to effect
an entrance. But this is clumsy work
compared to the professional chief, who
will cut hole in q tent, and step over a
sleeping watch. dog with alarming the
animal. He carries asharp knife, works
naked, and oils his body, 50 that he Is
hardly ever taken.
