the cable has been silent:
"DUBLtE, June 11.-At about lO:40
o'clock last night report resembling that
of a musket shot was heard in Merrion
square. Shortly afterward tremendous
explosion, whiC1 shook the entire square,
and resembling a very loud clap Of thun-
der. was felt by the inhabitants In the
neighborhood of 1ienster haTE. Some
gentlemen ran from their houses, suspect
ing that it might have been an attempt to
iniure the statue of the Prince COnsort
Thsy found the cate leading to the National
Gallery open, and on getting a light and
proceeding TO the monument they found
the remains of some powder-canisters and
fragments of plaster model scattered about
in all directions. In about half an hour
after the explosion some Of the police pro-
cured admission to the lawn, but in forty
minutes after the event none OF the police
from Lad Lane Station appeared, although
supposed to be stationed in Merrion square.
The monument has been slightly injured.
CAT the same time, and evidently by pre-
concert, All attempt was made to blow mp
the statue OF the Earl Of Carlisle, in the
Peoples Gardens of PbpniX Park. A coed
deal of powder was used, and tie report
was heard great way off. This last effort
failed through the bids of the canisters
being loose, as it is supposed. The legs
of the statue are injured. The perpetrators
have not been arrested"

man-Ber Body Left Unburied, and
Eaten by Dogs.
PORT JERvIs, n. j., June 21,-A few
weeks ago, woman named Butler, living
about one mile south of the village of
Unionville, in Orange county, was taken
sick wi h what was then supposed to
be the measles. 1t turned out that it was
the smallpox, and this announcement
greatly alarmed the people of the neighbor-
hood. The woman was then removed to
an old, deserted hut standing in the woods
near the Waikiki river. No one could be
induced at first to look after her, and it
seems as though she was fated to die alone
and uncared for. Finally an old man was in
duced, upon the payment of $25, to attend
her. Last Friday the unfortunate woman
died, and her attendant at once deserted
the premises. He threw an old quilt over
the dead body, and then fed to the noun
tain as if fearing the pursuit Of foe.
Saturday it was ascertained that the woman
was dead, and the pOOr-master Of the
town of Vantage, in Sussex county, New
Jersey, where the woman died, was noti-
fed. Although it was soon known
throughout the entire neighbOrhood that
she had died, the body remained unburied
until Monday, and then the people
threatened to prosecute the authorities
if they did not dispose Of the re-
mains. The worst feature in the case was
that the old hut had neither doors nor win
dows, and through the openings in the
building the dogs and cats of the neighbor-
hood went into the hut and were devouriDg
the remains. The people were alarmed lest
Jhe disease would in That N amer be spread
broadcast. Monday afternoon the poor
master engaged a man for $3.50 to bury the
body. This he did, tumbling corpse, cloth
ing, and furniture altogether in ahole by the
hut, which he had dug. There is a great
deal of alarm in the DeighborhOod lest the
contagion has been generally spread. Peo-
pie are now having recourse to a rigid
Yagetable diet.

COLUMBUS, June 25.-COl. Burr, warden
of the Ohio Peniteutiary, and other officials
Of that institution to-day concluded their
investigations into the cause OF the recent
horrible boiler explosion in one Of the man
ufacturing establishments within the prison
walls. After taking the testimony OF a
number Of prisoners and several eXpe-
rienced engineers, the officers state without
hesitation that said explosion was caused
from want of water in the boilers. They
Immediately ordered that James Il. Wilson,
who had the supervision Of the brush fac
tory, and who was responsible more than
any one else for the neglect, to be prohibit
ed in the future from being in the employ
Of the contractors at the PeniLentiary. He
will probably 90 unpunished although the
evidence proves him to have been 50 neg
lectful before at different times that it is
marvellous that the explosion had not oc-
CURED much sooner.

ORANGES AND LEMONS IN CALI
FORNLA.

The orange and lemon are, and will
probably continue TO be, the more profitable
orchard trees in Southern California. Sixty
trees are planted to the acre. They come
into bearing slowly, but at ten years from
the seed or eight years from planting out
the nursery trees, the lemon viii bring 600
aud the orange ! 900 to the tree; and have
seen 1000 lemons-Or $500 oranges on
single tree, at fifteen years Of age. Now
lemons sell III San Francisco at $50, and
oranges at from SI5 to $35 per thousand;
and from the tenth year Of a trees age,
with good culture, irrigation, and fit eli
mate-that is to say, almost anywhere in
California South Of StOcktOn-these trees
are found in practice to yield, at the very
least, SO clear profit per tree, or 5000 per
acre. This is a very low statement--far
below the present actual yield Of orange
orchards in Los Angeles and San Bernardo
no. know an orange orchard of nine acres
near Los Angeles which has brought its
owner $1,000 per annum, clear profit, for
several years past. One mans labor suf-
fees to keep in perfect order twenty acres
Of any of these fruits. But it should not
be forgotten that all these trees are the
better for irrigation. They grow better
and faster, and bear more regularly and
freely; and the orange and lemon particu-
larly will, am persuaded, bear but poorly
without water, though some people ny
this. The most skillful orchardist in South
California now irrigate once in six weeks,
and, Of course, plow after irrigation. l
have 10 doubt that the frequent blowing is
a great help to the trees. There are people
in California who imagine and assert that
the ground ought not to be plOwed or 9th
erwise disturbed in their State during the
dry season, but such men do not succeed in
farming there or elsewhere.-Charles
Nordhoof, in HaTper'S Magazine.

Ia response to many inquiries we state
that the Delegates to Baltimore from Ten
nessee will not go in 4 body, nor by the
same route, but at different times and by
different routes, according to convenience
and pleasure. 1t is however desirable that
all should arrive, at the latest, by the morn
ing Of the Sth Of July.
Tickets will be sold from this point to
Baltimore and return for one fare, good
from July I to July 81, by Louisville
and the Baltimore and Ohio road with the
privilege Of visiting Washington, and by the
Chattanooga and Virginia route via Wash

A WORLD letter from the Boston Jubilee
says: 81 never saw, and probably never will
see again, such a provincial audience as
here assemblies. 1t becomes enthusiastic at
the slightest provocation. It jumps upon
the seats, chorus and all, to see the foreign
pianist and singer and band. No sDOHRr
does Nine. Leutner or Goddard appear far
back by the organ, vending her or his way
to the front, than up spring the 10000,
craning their 10000 necks and straining to
discloses their despair Of ever being able to
see another artist without paying for it. 1t
is the same way with the audience. It's
avidiiy Of curiosity is absolutely rude. and
nothing so clearly shows its rural origin"

POLITICAL.
The Ohio Democracy.

CLEVELAND, ONO, june 3d. There
is every indication that the State Democratic
Convention to be held in this city, Thurs
day next, will be very large one. There
are many delegates already here and more
are expected tonight. The delegates here
are almost unanimous for ratifying the Gin
cinnaj nominees. The Convention is to
be held in the Central Rink, building ca
pable of seating about 10000 people. The
link has been tastefully decorated and very
finely arranged. 1t is believed that State
ticket will be nominated at this convention,
but that the nomination OF an electoral
ticket will be postponed till after the Baitl-
more Convention. .,
The Liberal Republican State Central
Committee held a meeting here to-day Tor
consultation. Many prominent Liberals OF
the State were present. No business was
done, but it is thought an effort will be
made by them to have the nomination OF
State ticket by the Democratic Convention
postponed until after the National Demo
cratic Convention. sssa

A misquotation from Hamlet is just now
going tie rounds of the Grant organs. 1t
runs thus: ga tanner will last you eight
years" 1t is curious that none of them has

so tanned with his trade that he will keep

GERMANY.
The War on the Jesuits.

New YORK, June 25.-The London
Telegraph of the 18th inst, says an explain
alton had been offered in the German Par
Lament at the first reading of the bill against
the Jesuits to the effect that the contempla-
ted movement against that body is solely in
their political and not their religious Capa-
city, and that it must not be construed as
exhibiting any anUagonism to the Church of
Rome. 1t was moreover a prOVisi-
Onal movement only, and necessitated
by the opposition Of the Society
of Jesus to the State. Among kindred So
cieties included in the order for removal,
are mentioned the LiguOrians, the Fresco
IgnOrantins andtwo scholastic orders which
are respectively under French and German
authorities. In course Of debate some
wrong assertions were made as 20 the Oper-
ations Of the Jesuits in tanpering with
German unity. They were said to be
forming a Roman Catholic League in
France, Italy and Austria, and some Ger
mans belonging to the society were even
alleged to have been won over.
What the Pope Says.
ROME, June 25-The Pope to-day re-
Ceived members of the German Literary
Club of this city. In the course of his re-
me rks on the occasion he made use of the
following language: The persecution of
Catholics has commenced in Germany, but
they display courage under the afllctiOn,
and have notified the German Government
that the persecution of the Church is folly.
The Church, said the Holy Father, remains
triumphant. We have asked Bismarck
how it is that the once cOntented German
Bishops have, according to the expressed
belief Of the German Government, been
suddenly transformed into dangerous con-
spirators. No reply has yet been received.
Let us pray to our Father in Heaven that
the stone may fall that will complete the
overthrow of the COLOSSUS.

panied by the Grenadier Guard band.
Madame Peschka LeUtneT gave her Aria
