THE PENALTY. Sunday evening

THE PENALTY. .-One Sunday evening, a Chinaman named An Wah was stabbed and almost instantly killed, by one of his countrymen named An Chew, in the basement of the Barron House, San Francisco. It appears that Wah kept an opium shop in the cellar described, when Chew came in and sat upon the floor and commenced to smoke Chinese pipe. Every now and then he would deposit the ashes from the pipe upon the head of small Josh under table, which greatly aggravated Wah, who ordered him to leave. Wah then attempted to put him out, when the lights were put out, and while darkness prevailed Chew stabbed Wah in the left breast, four and one-half inches below the nipple. The wounded man died in few minutes.

NEW YORK IN THE CENsUs.-Some very curious statistical facts are evolved from the thorough analytical investigation to which the census returns are being subjected. For instance, the total pop ulation of the State of New York, as has already been stated, is 4,3S2, ,759, while the total number of those in all the States who were born in New York, is 4,O61, ,348; of this number 2,997, 776 still reside in the State 231, ,509 being in Michigan, 163, 494 are in Illinois, 105,- 690 are in Wisconsin, "A, 750 are in New Jersey, 7,876 in Pennsylvania, and the others scattered throughout all the States and Territories, the smallest num- Der in any one being 415 in the Terri tory of New Mexico. Considering the large immigration into the State, par ticularly from foreign countries, this is a curious and interesting showing.

MIR. CHAn1Es W. HAssnER's success il

MIR. CHARLES W. HAssLER's 8 success in business is an instance of what perse- verance, intelligence, and integrity may accomplish. MT. Hassler has devoted his personal attention to the specific branch of the Banking and Brokerage business relating to Railroad Bonds, and there is probably no one better posted than he is in all that appertains to them. His we'll known advertise ment, "Railroad Bonds, whether you wish to buy or sell, write to CHARLES W. HAssLER, No Wall street, New York;" has attracted attention in all parts of the country, and largely in creased his business. "Write to" him if you wish anything in his line.-From Me Christian Onion, of Sept 6th. Henry

WATER IN THE DEsERT.-Under the sand of the great desert there is liquid bed which the inhabitants of the borders of the Sahara have long been in the habit of reaching by means of wells.
 With rude instruments they penetrate the successive layers of sand, gravel, and clay, till they come to schistose or slaty stratum at depth of one or two hun dred> fathoms. This last covers the precious fluid, and in penetrating it the indefatigable workmen are often over- whelmed by the sudden ascent of the water in great quantity. Sometimes these wells are completed under column of hundred or more feet of water of in filtration which it is impossible to keep out. The Arabs dive to the bottom, re- maining not more than four or five minutes, and bring to the surface, as the result of each trial, only few pounds of sand. It is evident that often many years are needed for the completion of these wells, under such circumstances. The French have come to the relief of these unfortunate inhabitants, and have sunk Artesian wells in various parts of the desert, some of which furnish more water than the famous well of Grenelle.

WHAT TO Do WITH THEM. of the question, What will be done with influential persons who are responsible for explosions and other avoidable dis asters it may be well to notice the rig or with which the British Board of Ad- miralty has dealt with those to whom was attributed the responsibility for the loss of the Agincourt. The board has re- vised the light sentence of the court martial, has compelled Vice-Admiral Wellesley to strike his flag, while Rear Admiral Wilmot is superseded from his command, as also are Captains Beamish and Knight. Staff Commander Riddle, to whom primarily the disaster of the grounding of the Agincourt was due, is placed on half-pay, and censure and punishment have been meted out with no sparing hand. The effect of this &C., tion cannot be but salutary.

The Great Strike of 1872,

A meeting of the workingmen of New York was held few evenings since for permanent organization. At this meet ing it was stated that great strike similar to the one in England and Ger many, would take place early next spring throughout the whole of the United States and Canada, and that a proper finance committee be appointed in order that it might not break for want of funds. Much discussion follow ed on this announcement, many being of opinion that the workings of the strike committee be carried on at night in secrecy in order to take the "bosses" by storm, while others thought that the utmost publicity, should be given to the affair, and that notice should be given the "bosses," in the same manner that it is in England, and that if the, dealings between master and man were on a more honorable footing, both parties would be benefited thereby. It was urged again, on the other side, that if the "bosses' had notice of this intend ed strike they would provide labor from the market on the other side of the At lantic. A motion was adopted to have the grand working mans demonstra- tion in early spring without fail, and arrangements were made for securing money to carry out the strike.

RMEF.-A discussion has been start ed in the mining regions of Pennsylvania looking to the creation of permanent fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of men killed in the mines. The plan suggested is the passage of an act by the Legislature of the State that will make it legal for the mine opera tors to retain monthly certain propor- tionate sum from the earnings of the men, to be turned over to a general fund. The operator also is to be re- quired to pay a certain amount-from $500 to $5O0-to the fund every time a death occurs in his colliery. This would at least have the effect of making the proprietors little more careful of the lives of their employees.

THE DEATH WATCH.
BY ELLA WHEELER

In the night, / heard the death-watch,
Give its warning, loud and clear,
And | shivered, in the darkness,
With superstitious fear,
For the babe upon my bosom,
Had been ailing many a day,
And my darling bue-eyed Willie,
Seemed to hourly pine away.
l could hear the steady breathing,
OF 'he strong man at my side.
| could fancy his light banter
could think how he would chide,
With smile, half grave, half earnest,
If he knew my foolish fears
And | lay there, wakeful, sleepless,
And repressed the starting .ears.
Midnight silence: only broken
By the sieepers steady breath,
And 10y the loud watch, ticking
With a prophecy of death.
And drew my baby closer,
Aud prayed u silent prayer,
That the good. and gracious Father,
Would my two sweet darlings spare.
Soon the chains of slumber bound me,
And woke not, til the light.
And a pale faced guest, la entered,
In the watches of the night.
In the silence, and the darkness,
A beloved one had died
Not the babe-not b ue-eycd Willie,
But the strong man at my side.

THE TANMANY THEY Es.

The people OF New York city. re-
gardless of party, appear to be terribly
IN earnest IN the work of prosecuting
the Tammasy scoundrels, and bringing
them to justice. Some days ago Con.
molly was arrested and held to bail in a
large sum, in default Of which he was
sent to prison. Although his bad has
since been reduced, he has been nuable
to procure the required amount, and he
seems no nearer release from prison
than before. He will inevitably be
found gully Of the charges of bribery
and corruption brought against him
The grand jury have found two indict-
ments against him.
Tweed was arrested last week, and
there was intense excitement in the
Court House during his arraignment
before Judge Barnard. Charles
O'Conner and John Graham made ar
guments in behalf of the peope. Barn
ard said very little except that he saw
nothing in the case to justify depar
ture from ordinary procedure and fixed
Tweed's bail at only $4,000. It was
generally supposed that he would be
put under 81 600 900, at least, and
consequently the Indignation against
Barnard, was widespread when it be
came known that so small bail had
been decided upon. Barnard is nov
regarded as more audacIous villain
and corrupt Judge than ever. It is
freely charged that he took direct
bride from Tweed. The latest reports
go to show the excitement is SO intense
that it is believed Barnard would he
lynched if he appeared in public.
The cases Of Sweeney and Hall have
not Seen reached yet, but that they
will soon receive attention. is quite prob
able. The only impeachment in the
way of a just punishment Of all the Tam
many rascaIs. seems to be the position
that the corrupt Judge Barnard, is as
Stunning. lie is the plant tool Of the
Ring, and bids the people defance by bis
course. It is not unlikely, however,
that Judge Barnard may find himself
removed from the high position he dis
graces, if he persists in tampering with
the sacred rights of the people in order
TO let his bribers aown easy.
