The Statistical Congress.

Information has been received IN
Washington from st. Petersburg indl-
eating that the members Of the lnterna.
tional Statistical Congress were treated
by the Russian Government and NUM-
cipality of st. Petersburg with marked
kindness and highest consideration.
Free transportation by rail was furnish
ed them from the frontier to st. Peters
burg, where the delegates were met by
Government officers on their arrival
and directed to hotels, at which accom-
modations had been provided for them
at public expense.
The former building of the Secretary
of the Interior, handsomely fitted up
For the occasion, was placed at the dis
posal of the congress for the meeting OF
It's several sections. Postal and tele-
graphic facilities, and all the leading
newspapers of Europe, were provided IN
the building. Carriages for the use OF
the delegates were placed at their sew.
eral hotels, and every convenience
which care and forethought could sug-
gest was abundantly provided. There
seems to be a general desire among the
European members of the congress to
hold the next session, two years hence,
in the United States.

The Walnat Leaves.

The fly, insignificant as it is in size,
and devoid Of the power Of doing any
great harm, is one Of the most annoy.
ing little pests Of all the insect tribe.
A nui.ance to man, the fly is the terror
Of the horse, whose flesh is made TO
culver whenever the foot of one touches
him. 1t is, therefore, an act of hui
mainly to come TO the aid of the horse,
powerful as heis, against his nimble as
sailant, the fly. Here is a recipe which
is said to be an excellent defense
against it. At all events, trial Of it
will not involve much expense, nor will
it do harm should it prove unavailing
as a defense TO the horse:
Take two or three small handfuls of
walnut leaves, upon which pour two or
three quarts OF cold water; let it infuse
one night, and pour the whole next
morning into kettle and let it boil for
a quarter Of an hour when cold it will
be fit for use. No more is required
than TO moisten sponge, and before
the horse goes out Of the stable, let
those parts which are the most irritable
be smeared over with the liquor, viz.
between and upon the ears, the neck,
etc. Not only the lady or gentleman
who drives out for pleasure Will derive
benefit from the walnut leaves thu:
prepared, but the coachman, the wag
oner and all others who use horses dur
ing the hot months.

Tho Steam. Engine and Civilization.

In discussing this question the Guar
terly Revie,o says The steam-engine,
mighty as a slave, is the hardest and
most brutalizing Of masters. 1t has
called into existence new class IN the
social scale, a class unknown save by
name a century ago, class which no
great statesman has yet dared to loon
in the face. This class is that OF the
oneratives, the men, women, and chill
dren who are the Helots OF the steam
engine. Without that culture OF the
intelligence which every craft neces-
sarily produces in the craftsman; with
out that healthy simplicity which ct
taches to agricultural and open-air en-
Payments shut out from the influence
Of man, in his industrial and social &C
tivity, by the many Widowed walls of
the factory; shut out from the light and
voice of God as he speaks in the aspects
of nature, tho operative class is hourly
adding up terrible score which socie-
ty will some day have to liquidate.-

Diamond Dreams.

Gov. Stafford, in letter to the San
Diego Union, tells what he knows about
diamonds as follows " A year and q
half ago | learned TO a certainty that
diamonds had been found either in
Arizona or near the line. The informa-
ton ] received was confidential, and /
knew it TO be true. I,with three others,
then commenced the work Of finding
the place. We followed rumors, winks,
and mods, with about as much earnest
ness as Japhet looked for his father.
Finally, on the Navajo Reservation, we
thought we had found it, but as rubies
were much more easily obtained than
diamonds, we contented ourselves with
gathering rubes. We collected the
value of million or two each, and con-
cluded we had enough 20 make our.
selves comfortable and our friends also.
We took them to San Francisco, and
sent some TO Boston. They proved to
be garnets, and of no value, and the
beautiful dreams Of schools and col
leges we would build up, and poor peo'
pie we would make happy, all vanished,
and we found ourselves, as before, strug
Cling to make the ends meet"

You ask a little too much. Cap.
don't see how well agree.
For the thing looks mighty different
To you than il does TO me.
Those Johnnies fought US well, Cap;
l know that told 'em go,
Aud shook their hands when they stacked their
arms,
At the front, seven years ago.
I'll shake the hand Of a soldier
no fights ss he thinks is right,
And when the war is over
Is willing TO give up the fight;
But this " shake hands Ger the bloody chasm'
Means different thing. you know.
From shaking hands with a ragged "reb"
At the front, seven years ago.
We let 'em of too easy, Cap;
In this think you'll agree,
That some of EN- should have said their prayers
At the foot Of the gallows-tree;
For we pardonel the whole caboodlc-
The leaders ~ well us the men
And now, see. they are trying game
To got into power again.
They led the Democrats before the war.
And they want to do il again;
God help the North with offices filled
BY Davis and that sort of men
You can't win the game without the South,s
You knew very well you can't,
And must count the cost OF Southern votes
To help you in beating Grant
find no fault with the times, Cap,
For money is easy and free,
And plenty Of odd jobs going
For played out vet" like me-
And the country seems to prosper
The debt is fast being pGld
l don't think change for Lettor
Could very ell be MADE.
know they find fault with Grant, Cap,
They say he loves horses and smokes;
But then, an angel from Heaven
Wouldn't suit that sort Of folks.
i have looked at the matter careful,
And find that the trouble grows
From the fact that those lobby fellows
Can't lead him by the nose.

| And tell you fair and square,
| God never made such ma n rs he
To fill the Presidential chair;
| For ne failed in the hour Of trouble,
When things looked little dark,
And such Captain as that amt fit
10 handle the Union bark.
And now it sounds mighty suspicious
| To hear these fellows rant,
! Cell him honest L nc,e Horace

| And call them thieves and traitors,

! And died in fghting those rebels
Now voting along With you.
And "across the bloody chasm"
The North will never shake DER,

But the soldiers vote you'll never get

LOCAL ITEMS.
CORONER's INQUEST.

The following testimony was given
yesterday at the inquest on the body of
the late Charles Hickey: aas,i
John Pattie sworn: was in Lynch's
saloon about half-past 8 o. M. Oct. 7th;
there were two or three of us standing in
front of the bar-Chas. Behr, John
Crowley and John Lynch; Charley Hick-
ey came in; Crowley made remark:
" Did you see that item in the Review"
Hickey got hold of the paper and while
he was reading Mike Holland came in;
Hickey said to Mike: "Did you have
this put in this paper?" Holland said
no, but Hickey said "you must have
given the item, as it rejects on me-"
they talked somewhat rough to each
other, when l interceded, and told
them it did not amount to much and to
let it drop; Holland said, "come outside
and l will fight you;" he started for the
door, drawing his pistol as he did SO,
and as he drew the pistol, before he got
to the door, it discharged; rushed out
after Holland and took hold of him just
outside Of the saloon. and said, Mike,
for Christ's sake let this drop" as grab
bed Holland Hickey came out of the upper
door with his pistol in his hand; l said.
"Stop this" but remarks were made;
Hickey said to Holland, "You are a
id little cur" and Holland said to
Hickey, You are id big loafer;"
they both then commenced shoot
ing; stepped back, finding that
it was dangerous for myself; it is
my impression that Hickey fired the
first shot on the outside of the
saloon. l saw Mr.. Hickey afterwards;
he had wound in the breast about the
heart, and he had one in his side; UNI
derstand Hickey is native of Ireland,
and is about SO years of age.
Walter F. Rand, Frank Kenyon and
Chas. Behr also testified before the Cor
oner, but their testimony throws no
additional light upon the subject. DR..
Deal testified to the nature Of the wound,
after which the jury returned verdict
that death was caused by wounds in
flicted by Holland.
