SATURDAY, JUNE IA, 1871.

Some Of the Boston papers state that the city
council are considering the expediency of of es-
tablishing drinking fountain on the site of
Scolay's Building, with "a statue of Erik, who
discovered the coast of New England in the
year one thousand" Some notice of the Morse
voyages to New England, would be appropriate.
Nothing in history is more clearly established
than the fact that the Mortimer came to New
England nearly 900 years ago, and had settle
ments here during one or two centuries, after
their settlement in Greenland; trading and lum-
bering establishments, probably, for they were
not sufficiently numerous in Greenland and Ice
land, from which they came, to occupy the coun-
try. We have authentic histories or memoirs OF
their first voyages.
But if the first Morse discoverer of New Eng
land is to have a statue erected to his memory,
there should be no mistake in regard to either
his name or the date of his voyage. The first
Northman who visited the coast of Massachu-
sets was Biami, and not Eirek. In the year
1856, A. D., Biarni sailed from Iceland to find the
new Morse colony in Greenland, but was driven
by a tempest tar soHthward, and, finally, when
fair weather came again, he found himself on
the coast of Massachusetts,, near Cape Cod. On
steering again for Greenland, he visited Nova
Scotia, near Cape Sable, and explored the whole
when the colony in Greenland had become well
established, "Eirek the Red made voyage
TO New England. Other voyages followed, and
communication with New England was con-
tinued for long time.

MYSTERY REvEALED.-In October, 1854 JOS
Smith OF Danbury, deserter from the twentieth
regiment G. V. suddenly disappeared under cir
cumstances which indicated that he was muir
dered. He had been living in New York, asso-
elatlng with idle and dissolute companions, and
had become greatly debauched The manner of
his death was mystery, but now, after ST.
lence of seven years, there is strong reason to
believe that the horrible secret of the tragedy is
revealed and the victim avenged. A compan-
ion and friend of Smiths has learned by letter
that three men, whose names have been fur
nished tothe authorities, who were on drunken
caronsal at Sydney, Australia, during the
month of March last, became involved in a
hight, during which one of them was severely
and probably mortally stabbed, another severe
~ put not dangerously shot, and the third ter
rlbly beaten. All were arrested, and while in
jail the third made a confession in states owl
dence duplicating all three in many crimes but
especially that of numbering Joseph Smith.
On the night of the second of October 1884
these three and Smith were making night Of
it" among the liquor saloons and other resorts
in the vicinity of Green and Mercer streets
New York. Smith was given to no other vice
than that one of dissipation. For this he be-
came helpless debauchee, and, in fit of in
toXication, after having overstayed his furlougb
these three seoundrels had induced him to re-
enlist with them in a New York suburban town
and Jump the bounty" They had all drank
heavily on this night, and the three gambled
away all their money. Smith was very much
intoxicated, yet able TO walk. He had not
played, and yet had over $500 left. This they
determined to get, and induced him TO 90 from
the saloon where they were-on Prince street
through rear alleyway or yard, to large car
riage or carpenters shop, where one of the
murderers had worked and still retained the KEY.
In the lower part of this place he was attacked
while lying on bench and shot dead
ihe drunken desperadoes then cut up the body
ahd placed it in four packages of enameled
yi9th r9th which were afterwards found in East river.
me Ing shop tools were used, and the enamelled
Iiotu ana paper were found up stairs. How the
Dlooay traces of the deed were disposed of does
MOI appear. One of the men watched outside
wllle the other two went to find cart or WAGON
Returning with one, the bundles were carried
out and placed in it, all three accomnanu;pS
and the murderer drove by ronndshput ,,a,, EI
over to Brooklyn. Near the navy ward gro,"ds
on the Williamsburg side, a lonely wharf ,vas
| reached, and there they committed their borri
| bic burden to the waves. They immediate,y
shipped to Australia. There they alternated a
rlotous life between the mines and the cities
Finally the just retribution of fate has over
taken them, and they will PROBABLY suffer for
their crimes. The one who shot Smith was NOR

The collection and arrangement of the rebel
archives, captured at Richmond, has already
proved a wise measure The southern claims
commission have found them of great use in
many cases where the loyalty of claimants be-
fore that board was in doubt. The other day,
Virginian named Levy, was urging his claim of
about ten thousand dollars against the govern
ment. His loyalty, he insisted, had always been
stainless, and he took without scruple all the
oaths which the commissioners are in the habit
of administering, and which are as comprehen-
sive as the ingenuity of man can devise. In the
course of his examination the signature of let
ter was shown him, and he was asked if that was
his writing. He answered that it was. "And
is this also, your signature, Mr. Levy% at
is" "And this?" 81 have no doubt of it,"
The letters were then read. They were adj
dressed to members of the rebel government
during the war, and were filed with information
and advice in regard to military operations in
Mr.. Levys neighborhood, wishes for the success
of the confederate cause, and denunciations of
the Yankee government. Mr.. Levy's embarass-
ment at this unexpected evidence was quite no.
ticeable, and his impromptu attempts at expla.
nation were not successful. The consideration
of his claim is suspended for the present.

Miscellaneous Dispatches.

FROM WASHlNGTONs
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The trustees OF the
Odd Fellows hall recently refused to rent the
hall for a pugilistic exhibition, and now the
lower branch of the territorial government has
passed resolution directing the superintendent
of police to prevent any exhibitions of boxing
and pugiIism in the District of Columbia until
the passage of an act regulating the same.
The report that Rangabe has been transferred
from Washington as minister to Paris is errone-
ous He has three months leave of absence
which he proposes to spend in Paris.
The subscriptions TO the new loan up to this
date amount to but 500 $50 $50. They are fall
ing off daily, and it is rare thing that the
amount subscribed in a single day reaches
$50, 200. It's thought by some that Secretary
Boutwell, win call in the tive-twenty bonds as
fast as possible, in order to get the new loan
upon the market, but at present he has but
seventy-one millions of dollars in coin on hand
and over twenty millions of this soon will be
required to pay the semi-annual installment OF
interest falling due on July list, and as it is re-
quisite for him to keep fifty millions in coin on
hand to keep Wall street down, he will not be
able to purchase many five-twenty bonds,
this or next month. The impression among
treasury officials is that the new loan will not
be taken TO any extent until more of the five
twenty bonds are called in.

ExTRADITIoN AND BELLIGEREEcY.-M
Victor Hugo, says the Pail Mall Gazette, would
have been saved many annoyances if nature
had provided him with even the slightest sense
Of humor. No man who had ever understood a
joke could nave written the letter which he had
10 the independence Beige. Take for example
these little sentences-every sentence forming n
paragraph by itself:-"This asylum. which fhe
Belgian government refuses to the yanouisbed
offer it. Where? In Belgium. do BELGIUM
tniS honor' oher an asylum at Brussels. |
offer an asylum at No. Place des Barricades
1t is no wonder that his door was beset that eve
ming by visitors representing themselves to be
General Dombrowski and other members of the
commune. The Belgians are reputed a stolid
people, but even they could see the fun of M
Hugos grandiloquent offer. 1t is to be wished
for the credit of the nation that no other notice
had been taken Of it, There is no danger that il
would Drlng the government into any difficult
uesj since II the communist refugees had no
surer prospect OF safety than M. Hugo's promise
that in his house they should be
inVioIaoie, they, would not have to come
to Brussels. 1t is to be presumed
that the Belgian law authorized the ex-
pulsion by royal decree of any foreigner whose
room the government happened TO prefer TO his
company; but surely in the present instance
this power has been somewhat harshly exer-
clsed. 10 describe mere expression of opin-
ION that Belgium ought not to allow the RIGHT

it might have been in intention, NJ. Hugo's LET.

compatible with the dignity of an independent
state. II Belgium is too prudent to give shelter

The New York Worlds story about the con-
templated matrimonial alliance between the
royal family of England and the present pres-
DENTAL family of the United States, was, as it
now appears, not wholly without foundation:
but the facts were seriously, and no doubt mali
clously distorted by the World, and some of the
most important were omitted altogether. The
correct version Of the affair is given by the Buf
1alo Express II is curious history, and, if be-
heVed, proves that the personal alliances of
rulers have not ceased TO have a weiqhtv infu-
ence in shaping the destinies of nations Tho
secret of these transactions has been preserved
with wonderful success, Notwithstanding the
ubiquity of correspondents and the keenness Of
their scent for news. II is believed that several
of the European governments have combined
with our own to establish an enormous conup-
tion fund, the income OF which Is used to subsi-
die the newspaper writers Of both continents in
order 20 keep this story from the public. II
would not have transpired now if the imperfectly
informed and disingenuous reporter of the World
had not published his garbled version. "The
truth is, J" says the Express, "the idea Of uniting
his family with the royal family of Great Britain
by marriage originated with Gen. Grant soon
after bis ascension 10 the presidency. He formed
the discrimination that bis son should marry
Queen Victor Ia and assume the British crown.

A New THEORY OF CoLoR.-The three pri-
mary coors were formerly thought to be red and
yellow 1t has been lately disputed that this is
correct, and recent experiments have been per-
formed to show that the real primaries are red
green and blue. 1t is stated by the advocates Of
the new theory that yellow may be produced by
the admixture of red and green, or rather by
the production simultaneously of the sensations
of red and green on the retina of the eve. They
claim, also, that the simultaneous sensations Of
red, green and blue will produce the sensation
Of white. Whether the formerly received no.
periments remain to be seen. They will. how
ever, serve to show that in this field as well as
in all Others, we are very far from having pene-
trated the secret of nature.

rem to Balmoral; Gladstone concealed himself
in the London dock vaults for week; Disraeli
went mad and wrote "Lothair;" the Great East
ern was sent out to fish up the Atlantic cable
and break it off, and that was what prevented
our knowing anything of the row in this coun-
try at the time. The project failed somewhat
euriousy. Princess Beatrice fell in love with a
portrait of young Grant which had been sent
TO her mother, and insisted upon marrying
him herself. Farragut lost his head in the
bewildering discussions that ensued, and the up
shot of it all was a compromise, according to
which Prince Arthur came over here to marry
the presidents daughter, with the understand
ing that be should be made emperor of the Do
minion of Canada, which was confederated for
that purpose, and that the United States should
thereafter be annexed to it, The young rascal,
after he landed in this country, fell in love WIN
four hundred and nineteen American girls IN
rapid succession, and obstinatey demanded tne
establishment of Mormonism as the state rell-
gion of his proposed realm before ne TOOK It IN
hand. His peryersily frustrated his whole
scheme, and nothing came of It except the ap-
pointment of the high commission to make
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain. which was the result of the scare on
one side and the disappointment on the other
that attended these extraordinary events. Prus-
sia and France became competitors for the mat
rimonal alliance which England lost-and that
was the secret reason OF their war. Russia took
advantage of this event to make an effort for
the prize herself and we can easily guess how
