A fearful tragedy occurred at White Plains.
N. Y, on Tuesday. As two young men were
driving into White Plains from Rye Beach. In
an open wagon, they were met on the road by
negro, who, with the woman that accompa.
MED him, refused to stand aside and let tbe
vehicle pass. Unpon being repeatedly re-
quested to give them chance to continue
their way and the negro stubbornly refusing,
one of the men jumped from the wagon and
attempted, by force, to compel the negro to
move. Blows followed, when the sable fiend
whipped out a razor and in twinking cut his
antagonist on the left side of the neck. from
the back of the ear to the chm, inHicting a
long, dangerous and deep wound. Murphv.
the negro, as soon as he had committed the
bloody deed, dropped the razor and ran to-
ward some negro shanties on the right of the
road and close by, and escaped. Upon exam
ination of the young man it was found that
he had received a fearful cash in the throat.
Several arteries were severed, and the loss of
blood was fearful. The woupded man was
taken to his home, and is considered by his
physicians beyond hope of recovery. The
murderer for long time has been conspicu-
ously known as desperate villain and mem

AN IMPORTANT BUsINEss.-Mr. Jacob
Pentz, who is good authority, gives in the
Turf, Field and Farm list of the steamers
which now ply between the United States and
the north OF Europe. They number one hum
dred and twenty, and have an aggregate ton
mage of 254 ,259 tons. The capital invested In
them amounts to seventy-five millions of dol
lars, gold. These 120 steamers carry a crew
OF 100 each, or $1,000 men in all. II we reck-
on as Mr.. Pentz does. that four other persons
are dependent on each man. this wOud give a
total of 10000 persons supported by this in-
dustry. But probably an equal number are
employed and supported from the shore ju-
ties as dock labOrers, stevedores, &C.. CON
nected with the same vessels, and thus 12O.-
QUO persons may be directly supported by this
industry. Mr.. Pentz finds that the cost of
running these steamers, on a round trip, is
not less than forty-two Thousand dollars, cur
rency. lie reckons eleven trips per year; and
this would give an expenditure of over fifty
hve millions per annum, merely for running
this steam navy. 1t remains to be said that
not one of these steamers sails under the
American flag.

The Richmond Enquirer very sarcasti-
cally saws: I'VE are inclined to believe that
most Of the people, whether they went or
were carried into the rebellion, have frankly
and honorably accepted the result. But there
is a pretty active set in the South who wish
to accept something more substantial than
the general result. They are anxious to ac-
cept along with the result any little official
trimmings that the result may cast over
them."

HOW the CardiT Giant iOas made,

The efforts of the Boston papers
to again dignity the Cardiff giant
with a mysterious origin are met by
a correspondent OF the Chicago
Tribune, who declares that he is
one of the sculptors of the beast, the
stone for which was actually got at
Fort Dodge, Ia, as before stated
This man, who signs himself +.
Mohrman, was to have $50 for his
share Of the work, but has never
got cent. His fellow sculptor,
Henry Sallie, got $40 in cash. Geo.
Hull, former owner, was the man
who hired them. They had a model
three feet long to work from and
beer was supplied.' Mohrman says
the figure was proportional except
in the back, where a layer of the
stone peeled off and 1T the body
some inches thinner than it should
be. The Figure was pronounced
completed in the latter part of Oct
obcr. Hull came occaSioally to see
how the work progressed. Hair
had been carved on the head and a
/ beard on the chin. Hull did not
like this when he saw it, and said
lie would see about it. When he
came the next time, he told us that
he had consulted with geologist,
and was Informed that the hair
would not petrify. SO he ordered 1t
to be clipped OFF, and we shaved the
giant. Several ways were tried to
make the figure look old, and at
last one was invented. Quite a
number of needles were placed in
the lead, with their points prOtrud
inc, and the figure was priched oVcl
with this. Two days were occupied
in this work, as the chisels left
marks on the stone which had to be
eitaced 10y this slow process of prick
ing. Some yitrol, suIphuric acid
and English ink were next procured
and rubbed on, which gave the
antiquatcd look required. HUI
thought at first it would be best t,
put on a clay covering, but conclud
ed it had better not be done as The
clay where the statute was to be bur
led might be different
'ilc was undecided who're to bur,
it at lilSt, and suggested Mexico
| told him | thonght THAT would b
a good place, but he finally conclud
ed not to take it there, as the dis
tance was So great. Hull at on
time proposed that we should il
sert in the figure here and ther
pcuiaed pieces Of wood or stone, $
jhat when biologists called to see
he could chip OF small piece an
, give to them to examine. This how
, over, wns not done, as no could nc
lind the pieces. Mohrman give
further particulars and raMeS, date
I and places, with a fuliueSs tha
| would soon expose his story il
was untrue.

Remarkable EGiilS.


There are sometimes, real showers
of very unreal rain. 1t is stated
by an old writer that in Lapland
and Fiumuk, about century ago,
mice OF Il peculiar kind were known
to fan from the SKY: and that such
an event was sure to be followed by
good yeu for foxes. y shower OF
irogs fell near Toulouse, IN 1904. y
prodi.ious number of black insects,
about an inch in length, descended
in a SNOW storm at pakrGtf Russia,
in lS21. On one occasion, III Nor.
way, the peasants were aStonlShed
( at finding shower OF rats pcltlng
/ down on their heads. Showers of
. fishes have been numerous.
AT Stanstcad, in Kent, in 1866, IA
pasture fcld was found one morn
ing covered plentiiully with fish,
/ although there is neither sea nor
nor river, lake nor fish pond near.
At Allahabed, in 1889, an English
officer saw a good smart downpour
of fish, and soon after thousands OF
small dead fish were found rpon the
/ ground. Scotland has had any OF
these showers of fish. rs III Ross
shire. in 1899, when quantities OF
herring iry covered the ground at
lslay, in 1880, when IA large number
of hcrgings were found StrcWn over
a field after heavy, guSty rain at
Wick, much more recently, whel
herings were found in large qnan
titles in field II mile away from
the beach. In all these, and Du
, merous other cases, when a libeia
allowance has been made for cXag
