said that people in the neighborhood be

declared certain that the coins Shcd up
by the two families are genuine, AS none
of them are much less than POO years old
The coins range in date from 1884 to

Terribal Hurricane in Zanzibar.

New York, June 4.-The cores
pondent Of the London Times writ
ing from Zanzibar in relation to the
hurricance that occurred there on
the 18th April, says
The reefs surrounding the harbor
are studded with wrecks. The Sui
tan has lost all hisivessels, with the
exception of one small steamer. Re-
ports from the interior lead us to be-
lieve that not only have most of the
cocoa nut trees been uprooted, but
that all the cassia, sweet potatoes,
Indian corn, rice, and other more un-
important crops, forming the proper
ty of perhaps a hundred thous-
and persons, and on which they de.
pend for mere subsistence, have been
utterly destroyed. If the effects of
the hurricane over the island gen.
erallv we're similar to what occurred
in my own house, l have no hesita-
ton in saying utter ruin prevails,
and that famine, with all attendant
horrors and dangers is imminent.
If the cyclone has liberated eight
hundred thousand slaves, something
ought to be done for their mainten-
snce, for, unless their masters ex-
pend their all in providing for them,

death from disease and starvation
must ensue. In Zanzibar there are
at present no means for meeting sucn
a calamity. No such disaster as
this has ever befallen the island, or
was ever anticipated. The loss of
life in the town and harbor has been
immense. The storm was so terrific
and unexpected that means for safe
ty were not used. Native dhows
with their crews sank in the harbor,
and many inhabitants perished in the
wreck of their houses. The damage
done on the 18th will probably
amount to four or five million
pounds sterling. That more than
half the commerce of Zanzibar has
been destroyed for years is unques-
tionable, but what the impending ef-
fects on the natives Of the population
may be one can hardly estimate.

The Havoc in Syria.

NEW YoRK, June 4.-The London Tele.
graph of the oath of May has the following:
A private letter gives interesting particulars
Of the earthquake which occurred in Antioch
on the Sd Of April. Two-thirds OF the houses
in town have been utterly ruined, including
the most ancient and durable public build
ings, and the remaining houses were SO
greatly damaged that there is no possibility OF
occupying them. The Inhabitants, who are
in great misery, are living in tents outside OF
town, and are is deep grief on account of the
loss OF relatives and property. The sacrifice
Of LIE has been very great, fifteen hundred
Mahomedans and two hundred Christians and
Jews being reported missing. Close to An
tioch Is the Isle of Suudla, in which all the
houses, numbering about one thousand, are
ruined. In Elonshia and Eliadida scarcely
building is left standing. Eljaba and Gal
lack are also entirely ruined. Three hundred
persons persisted III the latter place.
When the earthquake took place, Mount Bit
las was split into two pieces, and torrent OF
black water burst forth, taInting the atmos-
phere with strong and offensive odor. Shep-
herds near the coast state that the sea rose
about one hundred feet higher than usual.
Eight days after the earthquake occurred
Greek Priest went to search for plate, and
while among the ruins, which had accumulat-
ed to the extent Of about seven or eight feet,
he heard feeble voice imploring assistance.
Proceeding to the spot, he found a young lady
eighteen years Of age deeply imbedded In the
debris She told him that she and a Young
brother had been buried alive. The priest
procured assistance, and the sufferers were ex-
tricated, but the young lady has since died,
and her brother continues in a dangerous
state.

The National Republican Convention
The latest intelligence from Phil
adelphia, before we go to press,gives
only the work of preliminary organi-
zation, which consumed the most of
Wednesday. The spirit of the con
vention has been al that could be
desired, and in connection with the
Presidency, but one name has been
known or thought of, and to-day,
Gen. Grant, the trusted leader Of the
past four years, and representative
of the great American heart" will
be nominated by Gen. Logan, and
the nomination made by acclama-
ton. For the Vice-Presidency there
are two candidates, Wilson of Mas
sachusetts, and Colfax, though the
former will probably be the success
full one. 1t is a source of gratifica-
ton to know, that the division Of
sentiment upon this choice, is solely
due to local considerations, and that
whatever may be the result, the
ticket will have the confidence of
the country. as will be attested when
at the election in November next, it
shall be elected over all it adverse
RES by q sweeping majority.

No use trying to convert warlike
copper colored Indians into peace
full white men. General Howard has
been out among the Apaches on a
peace mission, and endeavored to
smoke with them, but all to no pur-
pose, when he struck up "Blest be
the tie that binds,' they fourished
their hatchets, and come in on the
chorus with a ringing war whoop.
His advice on returning is that the
sooner the United States goes into
the Indian mince meat business the
better. This is the second attempt
that has been made during the last
six months, to pacify that savage
and treacherous tribe, and both have
failed. Grape and canister is the
most efectual civilizer for them, as
will be demonstrated before a great
while.

The Car Works.

The work on the company's build
ings is progressing as rapidly as pos
sible. The foundations for two
buildings one 294 feet and the other
100 feet long are nearly completed.
The stone work is all contracted for
and the brick are all purchased. The
President, Mr.. W. B. Sheldon is now
in Michigan negotiating for lumber
to be used on the buildings. It is
the purpose to push the works to
completion as rapidly as possible.
Stockholders should attend to the
payment Of stock in compliance with
the notice given as promptly as may
be and thereby prevent any delay or
trouble that might otherwise be
caused.

Water Works.

The queery comes up from every
quarter, are we to have water works?
The question is an important one,
and is entitled to considerate atten.
ton and investigation. The fact
that our city is without water is al
ready known, having been confirmed
by frequent demonstrations. Should
s'tire break out in the upper part of
the city when a wind was blowing
we would be forced to sit idly bv
and see property destroyed because
Of our helpless condition. We be-
lieve that the Holly System of water
works introduced into our city
would become a source of profit
rather than expense, and we are sus-
tanned in this belief by the expert
ence Of towns which already have
them. The interests of our city de-
mand that something shall be done
at once to supply sufficient quaint
ties Of water for use in times of fire.

certainly not dishonorable to recede
from q demand which, upon rsfec-
ton, has been condemned even by
by the most eminent Americans
themselves as unjustifable and uten-
able from the start. It is, on the
contrary, as honorable for the gov
ernment of the United States as it is
for the British Cabinet to do all it
can to heal those dissensions and
settle those complications between
the two countries, which, in the
the long run, would have proved
terrible calamity to the whole civil
lied world"
The Hamburger Nackrschten, the
Kolniscke Zettung, and the Agsbury-
er AUgemeine Zettang, the most wide
ly circulated German newspapers, all
take the same ground. They ur-
gently recommend to our govern
ment to sanction the supplemental
article without delay, and predict
that that step will be applauded by
all those whose applause is worth
having. The Augs6orger AUge-
nseGne says:
"Wisdom requires that America
should assent as soon as possible to
the new proposition and thus solve
the Gordian knot created by the
claim for consequential damages. Let
no consideration of false pride deter
the statesmen of Washington from
taking this noble step. Surely,
there is more dignity in frankly
avowing that too much has been
asked, and in thereby saving that
grsnd diplomatic monument, the
Treaty of Washington, than in per-
sisting in a false position, which has
been generally condemned"
In Austria every prominent jour
nal, the Neue Frete PresSe, the
PreSse, the Lloyd, the Wanderer,
and the TagebJatt, expresses the
same opinion. They have all along
been our sincere well-wishers, and
they will heartily applaud the action
of the Executive and of the Senate
of the United States.
In France, too, those journals,
which have always been friendly to
this country, the Paris Tens, the OPP
into1 National, the journal deso, De-
bats the Progres de Lyon and the
Journal dw HaUre, recommend the
same coarse as most beneficial to
the best interests of the United
States, of England, and of the whole
civilized world. The Journal des
Dubats never expresses any opinion
in regard to important American
subjects without previously consult
ing Edouard Laboulaye and Mich
el Chevalier, and it may be taken for
granted that those two eminent
leaders OF public opinion in France
and true friends of the United States
are in favor of the ratification of the
suDDlemental article.

The heartless manner in which
the Tribune plays upon Greeley's
credulity, is truly pitiable. Some
mornings there appear in its col
umns, a long letter from some ske-
dunk, up in the country, giving a
thrilling account Of a Greeley meet
ing, at which the enthusiasm ran so
high as to slop over. Then follows
the names of a thousand or two
prominent men, who endorsed Gree
ley. 1t doesn't matter that no such
meeting was ever held, Greeley
swallows it, and as a tonic it is just
as strengthening, so long as he don't
know the difference.

Continental Thought Favorable to II

Continental Thought Favorable to It.
Nothing shows better how ground
less the assertion of certain news
papers, is, that the government of
Of the United States has humiliated
itself before the whole world by ac-
cepting the Supplemental Article to
the Treaty of Washington, than the
opinion of the leading journals in
those countries which have no di-
rect interest in a final settlement of
the long standing difficulties between
England and the United States.
In Germany, whose eminent Chan
cellor, from motives dictated by the
peculiar relations between the New
Empire and Russia seemed inclined
to uphold the original claim of our
government for consequential dam
ages, there is now hardly an infuen,
tial organ ofPublic opinion but ex-
presses the warmest desire for the
ratification of the supplemental Ar
ticle. The Berlin National Zeitung,
than which the United States had no
truer friend during the civil war,
says:
There is at length ray of hope,
and a very bright one, that the
Treaty of Washington, endangered
as it was by the claim of the Amer
lean government for indirect dam
ages, will be saved after all. A sup
Elementary article, establishing a
naodus Uiyendi between the Cabi-
nets of St. James and Washington,

rion of the latter to see to it that it
be not rejected in consequence of
the inconsiderate eeamor of those
