to extort money from Fisk. lie never
had any business relations with her,
neither was he Interested in any suit
with her, except through the machina
tions of Fisk. The accusation that be
threatened to publish Fisk's letters to
Mansfield is false. The greater portion
of those published were never seen by
him till in the public print. The letters
were procured and published without his
knowledge and conuivaDce. Has never
seen Mansfield since his commitment.
He dsnounces the play of Black Friday
as grossly hbelous, but its incidents re
quire no denial with those who know
him Il is hard for him to refrain from
making a statement as TO the charge that
he is an assassin but his duty to his
counsel compeis silence, When all the
facts are known and it is proved how in
the witnesses prepared them
selves at the Coroner'a inquest, public
opinion will begin to set in his favor.
He is anxious fer speedy trial by an

A Rare Form 81 Disease.

One of the rarest forms of disease
known in this country was operated
upon Saturday morning upon the person
of a Young negro woman named Della
Ellis, living on Hancock street, near
Main The disease is called elephau-
tiasis. aud in this instance attacked the
womau's foot. 1t il hideous in appear
ance and fatal il in its results, unless
cured by amputation, and this case was
one Of five years standing, during which
period the foot had grown to size al
most equal to that Of mans head, and
had the appearance ef the SCOT Of an
elephant, a fact from which is derived
the name OF the disease. We learn that
writer's in medicine give two varieties Of
this disease, namely, the Arabiau and
the Greek; the Arabian from its huge
proportions, the Greek from
4 tubercular nature of formation. In
this ease there were both forms combin-
ed 10 its incipieucy it showed first iu
the Greek and latterly in the Arabian
form We learn that this is a disease
peculiar to the East Indies aud Africa,
aud is more especially confined to the
blacks and Malays. The amputation of
the diseased limb was performed by DR..
Cowling, assisted By Drs. Owen and
Mills, attending physicians. The leg was
cut of just above the knee. The ampu-
tated limb has been preserved, aud will
form one of the most interesting speci-

confession to a Banner reporter:
When | went to Mrs. Billings, house

husband had gone down the river. got
out Of bed at home and went there, in
nv shirt and drawers, and bareheaded
and barefootcd, for a nameless purpose,
but not with any intention of killing her.
" hen l got to her doorI looked through
a crack, there being light inside, and
saw her sitting in bed. Being familiar
as to how it was opened, [ opened it and
walked inside. When she saw me she
cried out, Go back Go backP and a
scuffle ensueG She got hold of a gun
md tried to shoot me, but l wrenched it
out of her hands, and laid it across the
foot of the bed. At this moment her
litrle girl came running up with an ak
and struck at me, when l jumped on
the opposite side of her mother, and be-
lieve the daughter must Eave cut her
mother. i seized the Ak and gave Mrs.
Billings what l thought would be
light tap on the head, and then struck
the girl. The latter fell between the
mother who was on the floor, and the
FIRE place.

How TO Avoid Danger from
R.tgnsnissE.

As the season of thunder storms is
rapidly approaching, its advance guard
having made its appearance few days
ago, some remarks upon some of the
methods by which people attempt to
shield themselves from the danger of
lightning, may not be unwelcome to our
readers. Fear is a great magnifer Of
danger; and people seldom think that
there is more danger, as an English
writer says, on the best regulated rail
road than during the heaviest thunder
storm. Most of the dangers from light
ming can be avoided by paying attention
to well-kuown rules of safety. Natural
y frightened people draw together in
some room or place, seeking safety in
each others society, unconscious that
shey are attracting danger instead of
preventing it, as the ascending currents
of vapor caused By their perspiration are
excellent conductors of electricity. Peo-
pie seem to think that there is safety in
crowd and in The neighborhood of
some tall building, and some of the most
horrible accidents on record have been
caused by this mistaken belief Others
believe that lying upon several mattress
es will prevent their being injured, un
conscious of the fact that persons have
been killed while endeavoring to shield
themselves in this manner. 1t will be
seen that these accidents have mostly
occurred to persons who were Ignorani
that the vapor of their persons, or the
upon which they lay, were

ReIaIing to the comet.

The rumor that a comet will strike the
earth next August has produced an i'm
portaDt article at Florance from tbe cele
brated astronomer. Prof. G B. Donati,
regarding the probabilities of anv such
event. Donati says the small comet of
Biela has often crossed the earth's orbit
at intervals of between six and seven
years, and if it still existing should cross
the orbit about this year on the 26th of
August; but distant from the earth one
hundred aud ten millions of miles. The
fact is, however, that the comet of Biela
was not seen at all when due in
1866 and 1858, and last seen had sepe-
rated into two masses, as if becoming
dissipated in space Donati thinks it
probable this comet has broken up, and
much of it may have already fallen on
the earth in small fragments. If it
should approach very near the earth in
one mass, he says it would take position
like the moon and be a satellite of the
earth. No comets either large or small
are observable at present. Other comets
have disappeared after periodical visits
for ages, and Donati considers il likely
the comet of Biela has been scattered into
meteors and will be seen no more. In
any case he thinks all comets too small TO
come into any alarming collision with
the earth.

Tmnortapt RaIIroad Moyement.

The negotiations which have been
pending for some time between Colonel
McComb, President of the jackson and
Mississippi Central railroads, and Mr..
John Newell, President of the Illinois
Central road, were cons0mmated Satur-
day, and the through connection from
New Orleans to Chicago is now a fixed
fact.
The terms are substantially that Colo
mel McComb is to build new track from
Humboldt to Cairo, a distance of one
huudred and fifteen miles, and put his
whole road in the most perfect order,
while the Illinois Central will build the
bridge at Cairo.
1t is announced that the work of build
ing the connection between Humboldt
and Cairo will be finished il seven
months The bridge at Cairo will scarce
ly be completed inside of two years, but
transfer eau be made by means of steam
ferry in the interim.
According to the New Orleans Plea
yube, the importance of this through
connection with the Illinois Central can
scarcely be overestimated. 1t furnishes
a through line without change of cars
from New Orleans to St. Louis and Chi
cago and hence will sweep the river Of
its passenger business a through line
from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, uniting
closely Chicago and New Orleans, and
covering the twelve hundred miles of
road belonging to the Illinois Central,
extending over the finest grain fields on
the Continent, can not faik to add large-
ly to the commerce of both cities.
We are informed that the Mobile and
Ohio road will also be extended to Cairo.

The spanisI, revolution,

4 foreign master seldoms receives the
voluntary homage of his subjects, and
the result of placing Amadeus on the
Spanish throne is about to be developed
The uprising of the Carlists in the
various provinces of Spain is simulta-
neous, aud that the final abdication and
departure of Amadeus is but a question
of time, if, indeed, he shall be so fortu-
nate as to get off with his head. The
triumphs Of the Sagasta party in the
recent elections were but exaggeratious,
and the present Cabinet has not enough
member of either House to carry a
single question. Bloody war may be
ex xpected IN the Peninsula-for whether
the Bourbons are restored or not Amad
eus must depart the realm. What, with
a bankrupt government, the enormous
interest which is eating up the finances,
and the troubles in Cuba, Spain is in
very bad way generally.
The present insurrection is in favor of
Don Carlos, from whom the Carlists take
the name. He is Bourbon. an uncle
OF ex Queen Isabella. and only twenty
four years of age. The rising began
near Barcelona about the 8th inst, and
Don Carlos is reported to be in Savoy,
designing to make his way into Spain,
though he will likely be opposed by the
French government, which adheres to
the cause of Amadeus. Throughout
Spain the Carlists are strong. and the
efforts to suppress them have thus far
been futile. Their assembling on the
various frontiers of France means bust
ness, and. being favored by all good
Catholics (for Amadeus is a son of Vic
tor Emmanuel, the enemy of the church,
their success appears almost assured.

The Atlantic Monthly Against
Grant.

Among the most signifcan indications
of the popular uprising against Grant,
is the detection of the Atlantic Monthly.
Believed in aud sworn by Down East, as
the literary arbiter of the country, it
also has its say on all the great political
questions of the time and wields no
small Influence in that direction. That
the Liberal Republican movement for
reform should gain such an ally, is cause
for more than ordinary satisfaction at
Cinoinnati-the more so, because Grants
hold upon the New England States was
supposed not to have been materially
weakened by the agitation which has
convulsed other sections of the country
The Atlantic Monthly's opposition will
tell heavily against his chances for a
second term and will encourage the hope
that what sabout to be done in Cincinnati
will not be done in vain.
