New York pays more for tobacco than it
does for bread.
A banquet was given to General Scho-
field at St. Louis on Saturday night.
Generals Stoneman and Saxton left
Omaha Tuesday for San Francisco.
The Spanish Finance Minister proposes
to abolish the salt and tobacco monopolies.
Forsy-four dwellings, occupied mainly
by railroad employees, were destroyed Tues
day near Manayunk, Pc.
Revenue troubles are agitatipg mer-
chants interested in the Sitka trade. The
American collectors there are reported very
savage.
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams is quoted as
having said that the treaty lately submit
ted about the Alabama claims was good
treaty, creditable both to Lord Clarendon
and Mr.. johnson, and that it ought to have
been adopted with some slight changes.
Moreover, he thinks Summers speech on
the subject did more harm than good.
The New York Express says: " The high
est store rent paid in Broadway is that of
E.S Jafray's dry goods store, corner Of
Leonard street, which brings 100000. The
highest hotel rent is that of the Fifth ave-
nue., which rates at 100000 per annum !;
but the most profitable Of all its edi6ces is
Trinity Building. This is occupied by
offices. 1t cost about 100000, and rents
for nearly oue-half that sum. Single Offices
bring from 81 900 to $4,000, and the coal
trade is almost entirely done there"
One of the old crew of the Alabama, who
is now on board the Virginia at East Bos-
ton, says that the yacht Deerhound, which
rescued Semmes and his officers after the
vessel was sunk by the Kearsarge off Cher
bourg, was in reality paid tender of the
Alabama, had on board ct the time the cap
tured chronometers, and few days before
had brought from England fifty trained
gunners, who we're working the Alabama's
guns during the fight.
For several weeks (says the New York
Heral0 the Cubans in this city have been
quietly but assiduously working to aid their
brother revolutionists in the field by the
shipment Of men, money, and munitions
to them. Volunteering is going on very
rapidly but very quietly, and the recruits
are promptly forwarded in small detach-
ments to Cuba. Very recently full bat
terry of field artillery, completely equipped
and manned, was dispatched, and intorma-
ton has been received of it's safe arrival.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
states that the instructions for Minister
Motley are now in course Of preparation.
They will, in effect, make the demands on
the British Government foreshedoTed in
Senator Summers recent speech or the
Alabama question. Ex-Attorney- Generals
Evarts and Gushing, who are thoroughly
posted regarding the history Of tho resotia-
tions, which have thus far resulted in no.
thing, are rendering valuable aid IN their
preparation.

The POWER OF LEGISLATURES TO COMMIT
REFRACTORY WITNEssEs.--The power Of
legislatures to commit refractory witnesses
is subject coming up for decision before
the Senate Of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Thomas
Drew, formerly editor OF the Worcester
Spv, has been arrested by the sergeant-at-
arms for refusing to answer the questions
Of committee appointed to investigate the
influence alleged to be exercised by the
railroad and other corporations Of Massa-
chusetts to obtain the passage of laws. The
witness claims that no cannot be lawfully
made to answer questions respecting his
private business where no specific charges
have been preferred against shy particular
person, and that the Legislature has no
mower to resolve itself into an inquisitorial
body to ascertain whether evidence can be
obtained of charges which do not furnish q
basis of civil or criminal proceedings in
courts. 1t is stated that sonly one prece.
dent of the imprisonment Of refractory
witness is to be found in the history Of the
Massachusetts, Legislature. A State officer
vas detained in jsil for nearly month for
refusing to exhibit to committee certain
books and papers kept by him while hold
inr Office.

UNFoRTuNATE.--A genuine specimen of
simple, honest, homespunclad Virginia
simplicity named Joseph May, from Tim
berville, Va, en- route to Ellicott's Mills,
made his appearance at police headquar-
tiers yesterday afternoon, and complsined
that he had lost HIS pocket book, containing
oil the money he had in the world. 1t ap-
pears that he came from Alexandria yes
terday morning, and it is presumed that
some of the pick pockets on the street-cars
relieved him Of the wallet. The youth re-
manned at police headquarters last night,
disconsolate at his loss.-V Washington Re

The QUAKERs.-At half-past l o'clock
Monday delegation of Quskers from va
rious portions Of the Union, headed by Mr..
Samuel NJ. Janney, of Virginia, waited
upon the President by invitation, and had
IN interview Of half an hour upon the cub
ject of moral reformation at the South. It
is proposed by them to appoint q superin-
tendent Of the Quaker persuasion at the
South, whose duty it shall be to visit the
members of the sect in all the southern
States, and endeavor to work some improve
ment in the condition Of the people in that
section. President Grant received them

A THEORY OF THE AURORA BoREAL1s.-

A THEORY OF THE AURORA BoREALIs.-
The New York Journal of Commerce, in q
carefully considered article, as if from
some scientific pen, submits the following
theory-original as far as it knows-to ex-
plain the phenomena Of the aurora bore
ais as displayed in the magnificent exhi-
bition of last Thursday night:
"The aurora borealis is the silent dig
charge of accumulated electricity in the
atmosphere, furnishing the same relief to
nature as flashes of lightning under other
conditions. The phenomena of the north
ern lights are, in all respects, electrical.
But the electric nature of Thursdays au-
rors was demonstrated conclusively by
its effect on telegraph wires. When
thunder storm occurs the wires become
charged with electricity, which sometimes
affects them SO perversely that they cannot
be worked, and ct other times furnishes On
efficient substitute for the galvanic battery.
Precisely these effects were observed on
Thursday night. At New York, Boston,
end Philadelphia, and some other places,
the auroral electricity charged the wires,
and enabled operators to work them without
recourse to batteries. at st. Johns, N. F.,
the most northern point from which we
have any report, the aurora seriously inter-
rupted the operation of the telegraph-pos-
sibly because the current supplied from the
cir was too strong for the work to be done.
No doubt remains, after the testimony
given by many intelligent observers in va
rious parts Of the country, that the aurora
is attended by the release of enormous
quantities of electricity.
"The theory which We propose is the
only one which explains why the aurora bo-
reals isseen only in the arctic Tor antarctic)
and temperate zones-never, or rarely, IN
the torrid zone--and also why it is visible
here only Tor chiefly in the fall, winter, or
spring months-Dot in the summer. In
the tropic zone, and in the warm months,
the accumulated electricity in the atmos-
phere is discharged under entirely differ
emit conditions, as lightning, with thunder,
during heavy showers of rain"

object being to obtain full and important
reports of the ability and strength Of the
contending forces, and the chances for and
against the success Of the rebellion. He
will make report accordingly to the Pre-
sident, and On his statement will probably
depend the action to be taken by our Co.

The MURDER AT CUMBERLAND, Md
PARTICULARS OF THE kFFAIR.-A special
dispatch in Saturday mornings american
from Cumberland, Md, briefly announced
the killing on Monday afternoon of young
man named Jay johnson, employed as q
messenger by the Harnden Express Com
pany. The following particulars of the af-
fair have been learned: It appears that
Conductor Sheridan was attempting to eject
9 drunken miner named Duck worth from
the train, when the latter drew pistol and
fred at the conductor, the ball from which
missed its aim, but struck young Johnson,
entering his right side and passing through
both his lungs and heart. The unfortu
nate man, strange to say, survived for
about an hour. The shooting occurred
about three miles west of Cumberland, and
the express car at once returned to the city,
where the remains Of the deceased were
taken in charge by his brother and removed
to his former home, in Wellsburg, West Va.
Duckworth was ct once arrested and placed
in iail at Cumberland. Much excitement
prevailed, and it was feared that the MUIR
derer would be lynched by the citizens.
Johnson was aged about twenty five years,
was unmarried, and was much esteemed by
the congratulations american, 2lSt.

A METHODIST 0LERGYMAN IN THE Role
OF Sw1NDLER.-This morning very i'm
portant arrest was made in this city. IA
man, whose name is Jasper Manloye, and
who, from letters found on him, has been
passing himself off as q Methodist preacher
at Pontiac, Michigan, came to Chicago and
embarked in o business from which he ex-
pected to reap great profits, but which has
ended in his arrest. He had thousand of
notice heads struck OFF on note paper, and
reading thus: "Ofice Of E. N. Fargo, Ex-
press and Commission Forwarding House,
Chicago" Procuring the names and ad-
dresses Of q number Of persons living in
the county, he forwarded to each letter
notifying them that he had received, per
American Transportation Company, pack
age or packages, which was held by him
for back charges, and that the property
would be sent Immediately on receipt of
such "sum," or be sold after the expiration
Of ten days. falag
How much money he received from his
victims is not known yet; but the officers
of the American Express Company (of
which j. c. Fargo is manager) heard Of
the swindler's doings, and took steps to
detect and arrest him. For want Of space,
the details Of how this project was consum-
mated cannot be published here. Suffice it
to be stated that he was caught in trap
which he had set for the American Express
Company. The latter had forwarded to
him as &c. N. Fargo" note apprising
him that money parcel awaited his call ct
the Office. On receiving this he filled in
the blank accompanying the notice as fol-
lows:
"Deliver to Jasper Manlove all packages
in your Office waiting for him.
"E. N. FARGO"
The bait took, and Manlove alias e. n.
Fargo, on presenting the original notice and
forged order this morning, was seized and
handed over to the police. Soon after his
arrest telegram was received from j. B.
Adams, of Marseilles, Illinois, stating that
about fifty Of the prisoners g notices I" had
been received there by as many persons,
and inquiring whether or not the affair was
o swindle.- Chicago Journal, Saturday.

THREATS AND .-EaStuiNe,
northampton county, Fc., April 10
About three weeks ago DR.. P. A. Fitzhugb,
II. s. West, ard five other Of our most use
ful citizens received letters anonymously
that they we're to be burned out. Since
that time the Doctor has had his corn
houses, barn, three horses, his carriage,
and oat crop burned up. Mr.. West has had
his dwelling house burned down. A few
days ago another letter came out, threat
ening to burn the property Of five other
gentlemen. 1t is supposed the threats
come from what is known here as the
"Union league" and nearly all the parties
thus threatened are persons who were
called on by the sheriff about throe weeks
ago to arrest negro for breaking open a
meat house, and who belongs to the league.
The sheriff is one Of the parties to be
burned out. Really, we are in o deplora-
