From the London Times OF Jan. 12.]

that the diameter OF the shaft was I'm pro-

to doubt that there was any damage sustained by
the atcrnplatcs OF the vessel.
While any hope remained OF the engineers being
saved the court deferred pronouncing Judgment on
any alleged errors OF commission or omission, and
were OF opinion that the inquiry should be deemed
TO be open. The court would therefore make an ad

A Chinese Funeral.

A San Francisco correspondent of the
Boston Journal thus decribes a Chinese
funeral: First comes wagon contain
ing several Cinnamon, one of whom is
beating aloud gong, and another pail
of cymbals to warn off evil spirits, an
other is scattering little bits of white pa,
per along the streets to the cemetery, by
which the dead can find his way back to
the regions Of the living, and two large
pigs roasted to brown with a portion
of which the mourners, who follow in 9
long line Of carriages and wagons, and
appear to be jolly enough are to regale
themselves at the grave, and the remain
der is left there by them for the depart
ed one, but is generally taken possession
of by "Melican men," as the Chinese term
the Americans.

The Western Cattle Trade.

Stock growing at the West promises to
become much more extensive and luera-
tive than ever before, assuming that We
are as successful in the future as we have
been in the past in warding off the fatal
rinderpest Since the war many wealthy
capitalists have left New York, Chicago,
st. Louis, and other mercantile centres,
and engaged in stock-raising. A St.
Louis paper in a!luding to the attrac-
tions which this branch of business
holds out, observes: son every side
extend rich prairies, and form the
west and south of us pour forward
the illimitable herds from Texas, the In
dian Territory, and Kansas. The trade
naturally belongs to st. Louis but we do
not receive il. Chicago handles 10 600
head of cattle per week, st. Louis but
2,OO0-or, in round figures, Chicago buys
and sellsS50,000 600 worth of cattle per
year, while St Louis buys and sells $4,000
900 worth only; and at the same time
two thirds at least Of the cattle sold in
Chicago are raised and originally pur-
chased, not only west of the Mississippi
river, but in territory nearer to St.
Louis than Chicago, and ought to, but
cannot, be shipped through st, Louis to
Eastern markets cheaper than by way of
Chicago 4

La,fasing a Locomotive.

The Sacramento Reporter says: "1t
is reported that a new tribe Of Indians
has been discovered near Independence
on the line of the Central Pacific, who
would not seem as we'll posted in regard
to railroad matters as their redskir
brethren of the plains. The other day
a locomotive having passed by, to theil
bewilderment, they resolved to lay in
wait or pursue and lariat the monster
Accordingly they made very strong
larlat, and perceiving the mystery ap-
preaching, stretched it across the track
either end being held firmly by twenty
or thirty of the would be captors. The
engine came laundering along, the lariat
was struck just below the head light
and it is said that the Indians exhibited
greater feats of ground and lofty tumb
ling than was ever seen in first class
circus. IF any doubt this we can pro
duce a man who will 'schwear' to the
truth of the statement"

Truth From a Radical Senator.

Senator Sprague, the Radical Senator
from the Radical State of Rhode Island
in response to serenade given him by
the workingmen of Washington city,
made these emphatic declarations, and
we ask honest men of Ill parties to read
them carefully and weigh them we'll:
"Your House of Representatives, your
Executive and your Judiciary are to-day
Influenced and in effect controlled by the
Senate, and the Senate itself is under the
control of one idea-power, and every
agency to advance that idea Thus it is
that the machinery ofthe Government is
so contracted, so narrow, that the inter
ests and aspirations of the people find no
proper vent, but are stife6, corrupted
and destroyed The great trouble is the
uld-be-leaders of the people are dwar.
fed into mere partisan adventurers, who
have cut us off from the greatness and
goodness of the past without supplying
and bringing to bear in the present sup
ericr intelligence, experience, virtue and
courage"

COIOnizing Politicians.

Such fellows as jim Ashley, Of Ohio,
who has been colonized by Grant in
Montana, to act as its Governor, are
thus treated by that Republican sheet,
the San Francisco Alta, which says: /
If the Hon. Augustus Noodle has
been defeated in the Congressional dis
trict which had the honor of being rep
resented by him last year, he becomes
in Washington parlance, q ''lame duck
and must be provided for. A Terrific
rial Governorship keeps him IN the sue
culent honors of place, and affords him
a chance at Senatorship when he sue
ceeds in making State out Of the Ter
ritory From the moment he sets foot
in the boundaries of this new bailiwick,
he begins to lay his plans to drag the
weak and sparsely settled Territory into
the dignity of a State, with full fledged
officials, and what is more, two repre-
sentatives in the United States Senate
The Govcrnorship has no charms for
him; his residence in the crude settle
ments where his unlucly fates have cast
him is an intolerable bore, and he looks
forward only to the time when he may
be able. to return to the flesh pots of
Washington as Senator, Representa-
tive, or to say the least, as Territorial
delegate. He has no ties in the Terri
tory, no interest in its developement,
save in the indirect way of initiating it
temporarily for the purpose of dragoon-
ing it into Stateship; and when he final
lv leaves, as he does soon, for the Ma
tional Capital, he thanks his stars that
he is well out of the woods and on his
way to more congenial scenes.
There is more truth than poetry
in that, Mr. Alta, as thepolitical history
of the country within the past few years
will attest-Cm. Eng.

ROYALTY atthe White House.

Grants household is organized on a
royal basis. The arrangements for re-
ceiying visitors are well up to the high
est European standard. The Fhlladel-
phia Press notes the manner in which cal
iers are received at the Imperial estab-
lishment and states the method in which
the favored ones may obtain access to
''the august presence Of Majesty The
Press saws:
President Grant has a Grand Vizier.
1t is General Dent, late of the Union army
1t is the business of General Dent to re-
ceive all who seek the presence OF the
President. When Andrew johnson was
Chief Executive, all those waiting for
an audience with power were left by
themselves to pass the long hours in
waiting. tits somewhat different now.
The large reception room over the front
of the East room, is fitted up with tables,
as well as sofas and chairs and all, from
the humblest to the highest, are admit
ted to General Dents presence. In the
cosiest corner of this reception, room,
beneath the window which commands the
uninterrupted view of the delightful park
which fronts the mansion may be found
the broad, long tables at which General
Dent sits, with his accomplished assis
tants by his side General Dent is in
the meridian of life, rather below the
medium size, though the rich. dark blue
military grab in which he is encased di
verts the mind from size altogether.
Now add face, neither handsome nor
plain, but a benign, good countenance,
through an astral shade, and you have
the picture of the man through whose
hands you are to pass before you are con
signed to the august presence of majes-
ty.
But if, unfortunately, you are not
numbered among the royal relations, are
not rich, and worst of all have been n
Union soldier, you are looked upon
as a lunatic if You insist upon seeing
the man whom your services helped
to elevate. If you persist in your
undertaking the royal brother-in-law
kicks you, cuffs you and gives You IN
charge of the police. This is illustrated
by the loyal Press as follow:
About twelve O'Clock to-day, William
B Latelle, hailing from Newark. New
Jersey, entered the Executive Mansion
and attempted to force an entrance into
the Presidents room General Dent,
however, came I'D in time, seized and
foored him, in which condition he was
turned over to the White House police
force, who escorted him to the Central
Station He vehemently claimed to be
an old friend of the President and said
this morning he must see Grant. He is
about twenty eight years of age, and
is evidently laboring man. During
the war he served as private in the the
Third Wisconsin Cavalry regiment. He
is undoubtedly alunatic, and will prob
ably be sent to the New Jersey asylum.
AS the Press remarks, in Andrew
Johnson's day, or, indeed, in the day OF
any President before him, nobody ever
received this sort of military reception
from a General and his aids, in ''rich
military garb," who, now, for the first
time, lord it in the ante-chamber Of the
White House

The New standard of Patriotism.

General Grant has appointed Colonel
C. c. Grove, late of the Confederate Ar
my, from Alabama, Governor of New
Mexico, in place of General Robert B.
Mitchell, of Ohio, late of the Federal
Army. Mr.. Mitchell was in the Second
Regiment of Ohio, as Sergeant Major,
under the command of Colonel George
w. Morgan, during the Mexican War
of 1916. In the late war he was Colonel
of regiment Of cavalry, participated
in most of the South western battles,
and at its conclusion was made Briga-
der general. He was for time the
military commandant at Nashville.
Times are changing, it must certainly
be admitted The standard of patriot
ism and fitness for office is different now
from what it was very few years ago.
General Grant is catching inspiration
from Brownlow and other Southern
Radicals. At late canvass in Tennes.
see, one Of Brownlow's Registrars OF
Election, who was a Confederate Colo
mel, refused to receive the vote of Q
Union East Tennessee Colonel, upon the
ground that the latter was not loyal, the
old Confederate being now for Brown
low, and the Union soldier against him
General Rosecrans is turned out by the
Government from the post of Minister
to Mexico, while General Longstreet is
appointed Collector at New Orleans
All over the country the men who fought
and bled for the stars and stripes arc
being summarily dismissed from the of
fees they hold. This change in oul
political conduct has been so sudder
and so strange that many Of the ole
distinguished volunteers have had theil
heads completely turned by it, and are
inquiring whether it is not a dream
whether they are the figments of imagin
alton.

Wren MovS Tho P,;t;sb ctoam
An Extraordinary Man.

The Mercer Pa, Dispatch says One
of the most extraordinary cases of pc
culiar formation in the human body we
witnessed few days since at Connelly's
Hotel, Mercer, in the person of a col
ored man, stranger. 1t is hardly cor
rect perhaps, to call it case of malfor-
nation, as the phenomena were entirely
internal, the man presenting no unusual
appearance whatever This person, by
some inward muscular power, which he
cannot explain, can shift the position of
his heart at will. We went to see him,
not believing more than half we had
been told, but were convinced in less
time than it takes to write it. He re-
quested us to. satisfy ourself that his
heart was in the position usually occu-
pied by that organ. Placing our hand
on his breast We could feel its beating
distinctly. He then commenced a Sc
ries of contortions with his abdomen,
rolling it over and over several times -
At the conclusion Of this striking exhi-
bition, we placed our hand upon a lump
in his left side below his waist, and there
was the heart humping away as if moth
ing unusual was the matter. A few
more contortions and the frisky organ
passed across the abdomen and on the
right side kept up its work of throwing
the blood through the system as regu-
larly as if in its natural position More
contortions and it travelled back home,
its course being easily traced under the
ribs. The man then commenced sort
of rotary motion of the bowels, appar-
entity turning them over several times,
when we felt a complete set of ribs cov-
ering the abdomen, the regular set being
in their usual place. Turning the bow
els in the opposite direction, the false
ribs disappeared. On icing asked if his
parents had any more children like him,
he replied that he had brother over
six feet high, who could reduce his stat
ure to something less than three feet
We believed him readily after having
witnessed the above performance.
