A recent special London dispatch
says that the earthquake in the Philip.
pine Islands on May first, affected in g
terrible manner the small Island Of
Camiguin, five miles from Misamis
For some months previously, especially
in March, there was succession of vio-
lent shocks which opened extensive
crevices in the earth finally on May
first, q level plain near the village OF
Cataravin began gradually to subside,
until the tops of the houses became
level with the surface of the earth. This
remarkable phenomenon attracted a
large number of people, when suddenly
some terrific shocks were felt and before
the laundering reverberations had died
away, the whole level plain fell in, en-
gulphing $50 persons. The plain be-
came the crater of q volcano 1,5O0 feet
wide, and from it smoke, ashes and
stone were thrown into the air. A
pause till dark succeeded, when there
was another explosion. A rain of fire
followed; the woods became ignited
and men and cattle went flying before
theihames. Tho spectacle was fright
full in the extreme. The Volca no con-
tinues to eject stones and earth. The
inhabitants have left the island which
formerly contained population of &c.
600. Camiguin furnished tho whole Of
the MANILA hemp grown.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.

The fewer the words the better the
prayer.
If the way to heaven is mario = ii
is not long.
Take the world as it is, not as il
ought to be be.
Mischief comes by the pound and
goes by the ounce.
Impotence dries the blood sooner
than age or sorrow.
Never stand aside for trifes. Let
them do that honor for you.
An image of gold is sure of worshl.
ers, if it be only a golden calf.
A passionate man is like a weak
spring that cannot stand locked.
Learning hath gained most by those
books which the printers have lost.
Do good and throw it into the sea
if the fishes do not know it God will.
If man makes himself worm, he
must not complain when he is trodden
on.
The less q man thinks or knows
about his virtues the better we like
him.
He learns much who studies other
men he also learns more wha studies
himself.
Moderation is the silken string run
ming through the pearl chain of all
virtues.
Language was given to us that we
might say pleasant things to and for
each other.
Flattery is like bad butter, easily
spread on but sensible people won't
swallow it.
We look coldly upon the sweetest
and most gentle dew of love till it be-
comes snow or frost.
A covetous man is an enemy to the
and the coming world.
Whatever is done by those around
you be yourself determined to walk
in the most excellent way.
You may CLEAN knowledge by read
ing, but you must separate the chaff
from the wheat by thinking.
The best hints are obtained from
snarling people. Inducements make
the patient smart, but they heal.
Fools with bookish knowledge are
children with edged tools. They hurt
themselves and put others in pain.
The true gentleman is always mod
est. He is more ready to obtain the
opinions of others than to parade his
own.

The pebbles in our path weary Us,

Of our enemies, We should find In each

DEATH OF A MOTHER AND CHILD.

LACYGNE, Kas., July %, 1871.
EDITORS JOURNAL: This little place
was shocked this morning at the sad in
telligence of a mother and her child be-
ing found dead in the wood skirting the
town. The circumstances are substan-
TALLY as follows: William Loyenig, q
well to do saloon keeper, and his faIDi-
ly, who are said to have lived very hap
py as man and wife, and reared family
of five or six children, had sick child,
two years old, who has laid at the point
of death for a week past. The mothers
anxious care over the sick child is sup
posed to have deranged her mind, and
at o'clock this morning she was seen
by one of the watchers to go out with
the babe in her arms. Nothing more
was seen of her till z o'clock, when she
and her child were found, as above stat
ed. She put the child to death by cram
ming rags down its throat, and then
tied rag about her own neck so tight
as to produce death by strangulati0n.
When found, she was clasping the form
of Der babe as If in fond embrace, which
she I'd the mothers affection for her
child. She became tired, as it were, of
this life, and could not leave her dear
babe motherless to the cold charities of
an unfeeling world.
The husband and father is nearly
stricken down with grief at the loss of
his loving wife and child.-C0T. Kansas

Some of the most painstaking OBJ
servers of the phenomena of nature are
under grave impressions that shis con-
tinent is threatened with another vista
ton of Asiatic cholera Recent official
reports give US the information that the
pestilence has made its appearance in
Poland, and this fact being taken in
connection with another, that the first
general eruption of the cholera in Eu-
rope in 1929 first developed itself in
southern Russia, is regarded as possess
ing peculiar significance. This season
and the last have been distinguished by
tornadOes, floods, and other exhibitions
of apparently disorganized natural
forces, working in singular fashion and
to no desirable purpose. It is asserted
that the same variations from the usual
course of nature have always preceded
visitations of the cholera. In Canada,
the appearance of bug, called the pes
thence bug, which according to local
tradition is only seen previous to some
plague, has given rise to a widespread
belief that this or next summer will be
the epoch of a great epidemic.

ing but strive to embarr ass the govern
ment. They made gigantic efforts
TO that end when we were strug-
Cling to preserve tho government.
Not one word of reimbursement came
from them; but, upon the other hand,
they pursued most infamous and cow
ardly course, which greatly embarrassed
the government and really entailed up
on us the debt which now seems to
cause them SO much worry.
Through their influence and under
their direction, gangs of draft-sneaks
and malcontents were organized in
nearly every State in the North,
the sole object of which or
CARNATIONS was to Illustrate the efforts
of the government and its armies in
putting down the causeless rebellion
which the Democratic shareholders, as
sisted by spooneys in the north, brought
upon the country. Everybody, who
has any remembrance whatever of the
dark hours of the Democratic rebellion
knows that we state facts, when we say
that the leaders of the so-called Demo
cratic party in the north did far too
much toward prolonging a most I'M
warranted war against our great Re-
public.
If the corrupt leaders of the Democ-
racy could advance some plausible rea-
sons why the statesmen of the great Re-
publican party should be displaced, in
order that the management of our now
prosperous government should come
under their control, there might be a
bare possibility of their once again
'thaving power" But this they cannot
do; not even so much as make . re-
spectacle effort to show that they have
any claims upon the well-wishers of the
government. Their argument" is a
perpetual yelp about corruption and
nothing else. For the American peo-
pie to again place in power such set
of corrupt and imbecile leaders would
be worse than folly.

The following appears in the New

To the Nesn York Tribune:
SIR: see notice going the rounds

Departure" of the Democracy of Iowa.
That icencious and irresponsible sheet,
the Memphis AUesGnche, makes this
rumor the subject of low, scurrilous,
Characteristic article. The Tribune no.
fees the same thing. VIII you do me
The justice to state that have nothing
to do in any way with the New De-
parture, nor have / uttered q word in
public upon the subject. That have
neither appeared to take the new oath
or receive parole at the general sur
render" of the Democracy. This I hold
logically true: that. If the Republicans
were right in making the war, creating
the debt, and changing the constitution,
1 can see no reason why 3 new set of
teaches should not be put to the body
polite for the mere variety of change.

and its consequences, and in favor of

payment in greenbacks. OF little value

The New York Times of the 10th ult
called the Tammany Sachems "thieves
and swindlersp and backed up its W dis
with q few figures from the official
records of their city. 1t gives the bills
paid for keeping ten armories in repair.
as shown by warrants in the Treasurer's
Office, as follows:
A. J. Carney, for plastering, $19T $50 q
John II. Keyser, for plumming, 142329 q
j. II. Ingersoll, for chairs, 17O,729 "
G. 8. Miller, for carpenter work, $4,000 81
Total. $941,45s s.
Then again on the 22d of July Il
Times gave series of accounts for IL
furniture of the new court house during
portion of the years 1869 aud 1870
which in the aggregate amounts to
flee million si; hundred AID sicty three
thousand sac hundred and ,tOTty-Sil
dollars and eighty-tItree cents. On the
oath the same paper added another
series of accounts to the list, chiefly fol
repairing and plastering the new court
house, during the same period, paid as
the others by warrants drawn on the
City Tro 1surer, amounting to tt0O MIL
lion esght hundred and seventy thousand
tostr hundred and Sicty:tlUe dollars
and sac cents.
The swindling and stealing, as stated
by the Times consisted in paying over
these enormous sums for work that
was never done and furniture that can
not be found, to outside parties and then
receiving back the larger share of it and
dividingit 'Fbetween Tweed, Sweeney,
Hall and Connolly"
In reply to these charges morning
paper says that Mayor Hall states that
the forthcoming report of the accounts
in the Comptroller's Office will show
that many, if not most, of the amounts
which the Times says were Daid to var
ious parties in days closely following
each other, had been due in whole or in
part for work done years before, and
had been favorably passed upon by q
nonpartisan board of supervisors. He
also states that other facts will be shown
which will, in the minds of candid per-
sons, materially modify the assumptions
which may be based on what he calls
a partial statement of facts published
in the paper referred to.
If there is no truth in the allegations
of the Times, why don't Mayor Hall
institute a suit for. libel against the
editors of that paper as they challenged
him, and those implicated with him in
the charges, to do. May be the Greek
Philosopher of the Ledger can show
that these charges are untrue, and
prove to a demonstration that such
sums were honestly expended to pay
the legitimate obligations of the city.
He can doubtless show that Tweed,
Hall & Co, like "Old Hickory" "are one"
in whatever position they are placed.

THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD MOI

We have often wondered at the pre-
sumption of the leaders of the so-called-
Democratic party in calling upon the
voters of the country to again reinstate
them. Their record is so abomiably in
famous, and SO well-knoWn to the peo-
pie that it is strange they should persist
in asking q Reinstatement in power. For
the hast ten years they have done moth.

A Good 8 Hour Speech.

In a speech of Mr. George Potter. of
London, at Oldham, be touched the short
time subject in these words:
He thought the hours of labor in
England were sadly too long, and longer
than was necessary for the advantage OF
lbe country. Long hours Of labor were
curse to any country where adopted.
They physically degraded man, made
him Q dwarf in intellect, put him in q
premature grave, and left bis wife and
children to become paupers on the parish
They we're tie fruitful source of many
evils. Twelve or thirteen hours Of daily
physical labor was more than the human
system conld berr; over work ruined the
health, cnI pied the body, stunted the
mind, gave 10 time for culture, no oppOr-
tunity Tor reading, study, or mental In
rovement An over taxed system craved
70 st mulants, which ops ned the door for
other indulgences from which flowed not
only the degenerscies Of individuals, but
even of nation and a race Reduce
the bours and they would soon see a
change give the working classes time for
improy' ment, selfcuture and recreation,
and the result would soon follow make
labor tolerable and it would then be honor
able. Labor was degraded by ignorance,
and elevsted by intelligence t. drgni y
work they must dignity the worker. He
claimed, therefore, some hours rest from
their mental. moral and intellectual rea-
sons, and also from the glorious introduc-
ton Of machinery. At present more work
could be performed IN England in onc
month than could formerly be done in
Twelve. If all mauipuIative power were
called into action we could stock he world
for five years in less than twelve months
This Introduction OF machinery ought to
shorten the hours Of labor, and if it was
TO be OF any benefit to the working classes
It must be in that respect"
