Examination into the causes of the dreadful
explosion in Liberty-st., last Saturday, shows
that highly inflammable and volatile spirits
were stored in the burned warehouse. These
were in carboys, packed in straw, in small
hot loft and all of the conditions favorable
to spontaneous combustion were scrupulously
observed. Somebody was clearly to blame for
the catastrophe which manned twenty suffer
ing men, Who was it
New-York tribune., 1872-06-25

Judge Tappen of the Supreme Court OF
Kings County has given an important and
strong decision concerning the law of injunc-
tions against corporations. So many stock
jobbing lawsuits have been brought against
companies, and, by the cOnnivance of corrupt
Judges, have done incalculable injury to
property in stocks, the decision will be
received as a healthy sign in commercial law.
In the case of Henry n. Smith and Others
(and aliases) against the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company Judge Tappen holds, substan-
TALLY, that an injunction which might destroy
corporate property is not an appropriate
remedy for alleged grievances of complainants.
They have other legal remedies, but not at
the expense of stockholders.
New-York tribune., 1872-06-25

Since THE TRIBUNE called attention to the
fact that the law concerning retail dealers in
leaf tobacco, if executed according to the OBJ
vious meaning of its words, would throw
out of business not less than $4,000 men,
women, and children, principally Germans, who
are engaged in making cigars in retail shops,
the Commissioner has hit upon an ingenious
device for evadlng the intent and complying
with the letter of the law. He decides that
q" "hogsheads, cases, or bales" may be of any
size or weight the manufacturer pleases; the
practical result, of course, being to make the
law nullity If the fOllies of Congress are
to be neutralized in this way, under political
stress, why should not similar means be found
for nullifying that part of the same law which
changes the system of bonding, and threatens
ruin to the smaller manufacturers of tobacco
in Virginia, among whom there are many
freedmen

Thus far, ten men only have been permitted
to 60 upon the jury which is to try Stokes for
the murder of Jas. Fisk, jr. The last panel
of one hundredlhas been exhausted, and the
Court is now patiently waiting for few men
who have not seen the infamous BLACK Fri
"day" play nor read the newspapers with
much intelligence. Nevertheless, the business
of obtaining jurors is little less farcical than
formerly.

A GOOD STORY.
a Case of DIabeIlaaI Duality.


A good story is told in Washington of a
genial young gentleman, unwilling to omit
recognition of an acquaintance, who, at a
wedding reception, caught sight of a gray
whiskered and rather stately person, and,
being satisfied by inquiry of bis identity,
Immediately edged along to his side.
"Good evening" said ne, extending his
| hand with Cordiaiity, 'I'm delighted to
| see youl We haven't met since we parted
in Mexico"
81 rather fear" said the gray whiskered
magnate, "that you have me at an advan-
! tage."
"Why, don't you recollect? But then I
was very much younger" said the other,
'swith my father in Mexico"
oAnd to tell the TRUTH" said the other
gentleman, ''ny remembrances of ever
having been in Mexico are very indiS-
tinct.n -
"Excuse the question:" said the young
man, rather desperately, "are you not Sir
Edward ThorntOnt" -t-
"By no means. I am Judge Poland, of
Vermont" .. -
ga thousand pardons" and the discOm-
flied youth moved away.
But few nights afterward, at another
reception, his eye was similarly caught, and
the edge of his modification having been
worn off, he could smile at his mistake; and
he accordingly once more made his way to
the side of gentleman with gray mutton
chop whiskers, and, after a word or two on
the weather ard the scene, he suddenly
said: o.. - -
"That was an awkward thing Of me to
take you for old Thornton, the other
night"
Sand who do you take me for now, may
| l ask?" said his companion.
''WhF-why," said the embarrassed young
man of society, ''you told me you were
! Judge Poland, Of Vermont"
con the contrary, my name is Thorn
ton," was the rather annihilating response
And the young man at this day calls it a
case of diabolical duality.

GLACIAL EEENOMENA IN THE
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

have not noticed anything to confirm
the idea that the glaciers of the Northern
Hemisphere have alternated with those of
the Southern hemisphere IN their greatest
extension, IS Is assumed by those who
conlecS with the professions of the equi-
noxes the difference of temperature
required for the change. The abra-
sion of the rocks seems to me nei-
ther more nor less fresh in one hemis-
phere than in the other; nor do the veins of
unaltered rocks, rising above the surround
ing disintegrated rocks, stand out in more
or less bold relief in either case. However
astronomical causes may have been con-
nected with the climatic conditions of the
world, see no reason for believing, from
any facts have observed, that alterations
of temperature in the Northern and South
ern hemispheres have been the primary and
efficient cause of glacial phenomena.
The more l consider these phenomena
the mere am | satisfied that the ice has
been the great planning -mschines by which
rocky surfaces have been fashioned. The
great geological agents are not alone
fire and water, as is universally admitted
Ice has had great share in the work, and
believe that this also will sooner or later
be recognized with equal unanimity. After
having traced what seems to me palpable
evidence of an ice mantle once spreading
over the southern part Of this continent,
the effect of which l have seen from
Montevideo, on the Atlantic, TO Talcahuano,
on the Pacific coast, the question naturally
arises how far the southern extremity of
Africa, as we'll as New Zealand and Aus
traIia, was involved in its extension. hope
I may live to see youger natUralists investi-
gate these regions with the same object. l
believe that whenever such an investigation
is undertaken by competent observer. it
will be found that over and above all local
glacial phenomena, and side by side with
them, there is also evidence of a southern
circum-p polar glacial agency.-PTQf AgasSiz.

The st. James is a quiet, coy, select Climb.
where its members may quiz the people of
fashion as they pass from its spacious bow
windows, whittier they nay invite friend
for neat little dinner and rubber of whist,
and to which they may resort for the
choicest bits of London scandal or the most
mysterious rumors of the perplexities of
the Prime Minister. There is window for
the curious and cynical Major Pendennis,
and an obscure corner for the melancholy
and respondent Twemlow.
The members of the St. James, however,
in the fullness of their hospitable hearts,
have admitted to It's privileges, as honorary
members, the attaches of the foreign lega-
tons in London; and this has resulted in
sudden storm on the summer sea of its
placid club life. The German Secretary of
Legation, presuming on the favor thus ex-
tended, recently brought to the club rooms
number Of boisteFous Teutons, among
them Teuton Prince, and dined them upon
the choicest delicacies of the club larder
This company waxed noisy and boisterous,
40 II eAAC NAlb lOOl1l WCtC q DuOLlbA b<hfClA
and they chartered libertines of drunkendin.
The highly respectable members of the club,
disturbed in their tranquil haunt, and indig-
nant at the insult offered to their an
Gent and time-honored society, bore the
nuisance es long as they could; but pa
thence at last ceased to be virtue. One of
the gentlemen sent his servant to the Ger
man Secretary to protest against the in
decent orgy. This produced cultural ex-
plosiOn on the part of the Teutonic revel-
ers, who retired breathing flames of ven
geance. The next day there poured in upon
st. James a food OF bloodthirsty chal-
lenges, IS demands for instant reparation.
The whole tone and manner of these tip
ping Germans showed that they believed
themselves too formidable in nationality
to be resisted. VIII Bismarck resent the !
affront offered 10 one of his OfficialsP And
viii the high-biooded Briton be broW-beaten
on his native heath by the arrogant
cOnquerors of France? The feeling aroused
on both sides By this triaing incident real
ly betTays more than it seems. The mem
bers OF st. James are hencetorth as hearty
German haters as the vanquished soldiers of
France, and the boisterous German Prince
and Secretary are hopelessly alienated from
any admiration that they may have had for
English society. Here.D we find an illus
tration Of the zeal animus of these two
great countries. Germany distrusts Eng
land, for England is the friend of France,
and fears lest Germany, now grown Sc
great, should an occasion direct her Esurps,
needle-guns and Uhlan towards her little
Belgian dependent. c. even make bold to
desecrate the soil Of Albion herself.

THE TURKISH zuRorE-

By the last accounts from Constantine
pies, serious difference has occurred
among the leading Turks there on the ques-
ton OF the succession to the throne. I'm
der the law which has regulated the suce3s
ion during the last 500 years the crown al
ways passes to the eldest male of the I'm
perlal family whose father was on the throne
at the time of his birth, so that a. a rule
the Sultans have been succeeded, not by
their sons, but By their brothers. 1t was in
accordance with this law that the present
Sultan, Abdul ASST, assembled the throne
on the death Of his brother Abdul Mediid
(25th of June, 1861, though the latter
left seven sons. Abdul Assiz has four sons,
the eldest of whom, YousSout Izeddin, was
born on the 9th Of October, 1857 and is,
consequently, under the above law, disqual-
lied for the crown, since at the time he
was born his father was not as yet Sultan.
The lawful heir is the eldest son of Abdul
Medjid, Murad Effendi, who was born dur
ing his fathers reign, On the 21st Of Sep
TENDER, lS40i but a strong party at court
now urges she Sultan to introduce the Eu-
Eopean system of succession, and declare
his eldest son his heir. The old Moham
medan party, however, is strongly
opposed to such a course which
it considers would involve q
departure from the preaepts OF the Koran,
and as under the Koran a Nohommedan is
only bOEnd to obey his so Vereign in so far
as he keeps within its restrictions this OPP
position might lead to very serious results
if the Sultan were to adopt the above pro
pOsal. Moreover, it IS feared that the
Princes of SerVia and Roumania, the Khe-
dive Of Egypt, and the Bey of Tunis, who
as it is bear with impotence the suzerainty
of the Sultan, would seize the opportunity
for declaring themselves independent if a
Sultan were crowned who, according to the
law which existed at the time when they
did homage at Constantinople, would not
be the rightful heir to the throne.

JAPANESE BREACH OF PROMISE.

After Japanese lover has proven false
to his vows, the deserted maiden rises at
about two O'Clock in the morning and dons
a white robe and high sandals or clogs.
Her Golf is a metal tripod, in which are
thrust three lighted candles; around her
neck she hangs mirror, which falls upon
her bosom; in her left hand she carries q
small straw fgure--the efigy of her faith
less lover; and in the right hand she grasps
a hammer and mai, with which she nails it
to one Of the sacred trees that surround the
shrine. Then she prsys for the death of
the traitor, vowing that if her petition be
heard she viii herself pull out the nails
which offend the god by Wounding the
mystic tree. Night after night she comes
to the shrine, and each night sticks in two
more nails, believing that every nail will
shorten her lovers life; for the god to save
his tree viii surely strike him dead. 1t is
a curious Illustration of the hold supersti-
ton yet has on the Japanese mind.

THE pOsTmAN,s RING.

BY MRS. A. d. T. WHITNEY.
OF all the parallels, day by day,
That thrill the heart of this life of mine
Making strange and beautiful sign
Of gracious meaning in cOnmOn way
The very blithest and dearest thing -
Is the sound in the house of the postman's ring.
1t tells story. Though deep and tar
Stretch the want and the wish of man,
Hid in the bud of an Infinite plan,
All blessed and sure pTovidings are. .. .
Gods love rings the bell at the door ID.
That the pOstman stands and waits before.
For He knew when He made Hearth and
sea- .-
The world so wide, and HIS child so small
Something must reach across it all
From heart to heart that would listening be.
And so from the first he laid away
Seed Of purpose that fruits to-day.
And because no service of man to man ,.. @
No thought OF method that matches need
With outward emblem can halfway read
The depth divine of the heavenly plan,
Almost the dearest and hOpefullest thing
In the liyelong day, is the postman's ring.
1t minds me well if so sure a hand az
So glad summons, may tell and send
Our earthly tidlngS from friend to friend,
There cannot be less in the Perfect Land.
SOul-messages may not be stayed or crossed;
Out Of Gods mails no letter is lost! -
Dear heartl that dwellest I know not where
So near-sO distaut-I may not see
While sit below with thoughts OF thee
Is some such usage of gladness there?
Do the angels come to thy door and say,
'We have brought thee a word from her to-
day." [Scri6Her's for July

PEOPLE generally have an aversion to the
details Of statistics; but it is fortunate for
the world that there are those who take an
interest in statistical matter; otherwise lit
tie would be known in reference to the re-
sources and progress Of the various nations
of the earth. The International Statistical
Congress will hold its eighth session in st.
Petersburg, Russia, on the 22d Of August
next. The congress will be divided into
four sections, which will treat of the follow
ing subjects, respectively: l. Statistics of
population and methodology of statistics.
2. industrial statistics. 3. Commercial
and postal statistics. 4. Judicial and Grim
inal statistics. Invitations have been ex-
tended to all foreign Governments to take
part in this congress, and it is hoped by the
Committee of Organization that every
coAntry will send enough official delegates
to allow one to attend the meetings of each
section The Grand Duke Constantine
will be the Honorary President and Gene
