SHOWER OF WORMS.

The singular phenomenon of a
shower of worms, apparently falling
with the snow during storm, was
observed at Somerville, Mass, March
19, and specimens were sent to the
Museum of Comparative Zoology at
at Cambridge, Mass. The worms
are reported to be the larvae of a
particular family of beetles. The
earliest notice of similar extraordi-
nary appearances of insects during
snow storms was given in 1878,
when the phenomenon was observed
in Hungary, and since that date re-
ports of these singular showers in
Sweden Germany and the mountain
ous parts of France have been re-
corded. These appearances of
worms and living insects occur in
winter, when there have been sew
eral warm days in succession, fol-
lowed by snow storm. The phe-
nomenon has never been satisfactor-
lily explained. One theory is that
the insects have been carried up in
to the upper air by violent gales
prevailing before the snow storm.
Another theory is that the insects
are attracted by the warmth to the
surface of the earth, and then being
covered lightly by the snow, still
endeavor to crawl through it.

PROSECUTIONS OF CHRISTIANS.
Is this the Way the Japanese Recipro-
cate the Courtesy Shown them by
Foreign Powers?

In Japan the most barbarous persecu-
tions of the Christians are being again
carried on. The cruelties of 1870 are
said to be now in process of repetition,
the Prince of Saga being the instigator,
and an official from the Mikado's court
being the superintendent torturer. The
Nagasaki Gazette devotes long article
to the subject, and gives so many state
ments of fact in course thereof. that we
feel constrained to respond to his call
upon the brethren of the press to assist
in exposing to the Indignation of the
civilized world the iniquitous persecu-
tions which the poor native Christians
are being daily subjected to in Nagasaki:
and to raise their rcmOnstrance, rs in
one voice, against our Christian powers
tolerating in the future such an induce
ment to the merciless Government OF
Japan, as that which the absence from
our treaties of any clause protecting the
Christian religion now presents. 1t is
said that the number of intended vic
tins is over two thousand and that they
will be seized and carried Off i'm small
drafts, so as TO be operated upon and
improved off the face of empire in as
quiet and inObtrusiye manner as pos
sible. The performance of latter good
intention of saving the conscience of
inactive foreign statesmen in Europe
and America has Deen fortunately pre-
vented by the Gazette article, and we
gladly aid in perfecting the prevention
of such iniquity. 1t is said to have to
record, however, that one batch of six
ty-seven heads of families had already
been disposed of, and in this land of
rising sun, which is speedily being ell
lightened and is advancing rapidly to-
wards material civilization, the second
lot was to have been leisurely murdered
during the first week of this year.
From the privacy with which the effect
of advanced civilization was being car
ried out, the miserable victims were be-
ing playfully twitted in this wise:
"This time your friends, the foreigners,
shall know nothing of your torturings
and sufferings." lwakura (the official
at the head of the Western embassy is
one of the great supporters of this
enormity. Side by side, material pro-
gress is making rapid strides; the rail-
way is nearly completed, the telegraph
cable is now in working order; the
Government has officially notified that
rice may be sold for expectation on
certain conditions, and permission has
been given for native women going
abroad

UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

A writer in Chambers Journal
proposes the adoption of a univer-
sal language, which would -obviate
the necessity OF every person who
desires to travel or to be considered
well educated spending much time
in studying many different Ian
guages, and would unable the peo-
pie of each country to communicate
with all parts of the world without
trouble and inconvenience. For
this purpose the German tongue is
suggested, but from present indica-
tons it seems probable that English
will become the universal language
without any especial concerted ef-
fort from the civilized world. 1t is
already spoken by many people in
every kind of public business all
over Europe, and now that China
and Japan are welcoming foreign
ers, and especially Americans and
English, to their shores, and send
ing their youn people to be educa-
ted in Amer In schools, the day
seems not far distant when it will be
a popular medium of communica-
tion among the Orientals.

UNHAPPY.

The Cincinnati Commercial is
not happy over the shout for Grant
at the Columbus Convention. 1t is
sick of 1.-THE name. Half a dozen
States, more or less, have set up the
shout, and the Commercial wearies
'of it. 1t has set up counter cry
of its own and bellows Justify for
Charles Francis Adams. Perhaps
the Cincinnati Convention will echo
the cry--and perhaps it won't. We
have nothing to say against Charles
Francis, but he is not the man who
will make the little speech from the

A DISPUTE ABOUT A DOG AND
MURDER THE CONSEQUENCE.

AKRON, March 2S.-The particulars of
the homeicide at Middle bury on Thurs
day, are, as near as they can be learned,
as follows: Hugh, john and Michael
McGary, three brothers, were on Mon
day last passing along the street, when
dog belonging TO George A. Barber
attacked John. Barber came out, and
some words passed between them. On
Thursday morning the parties met at
the blacksmith shop of Thomas F. Hunt
Barber had just brought wagon there
which he had just been painting, when
the three brothers appear upon the
scene. Mike, who appear, have been
the spokesman of the part approached
and made some remarl- about the
trouble of the Monday pre- .ous. Bar
Der made some reply to til effect that
time backing into the shop. The BROTH
ers followed, Mike in advance, until
they reached the rear of the shop. Here
Barber made stand, and pointing a
revolver, which he had in his hand, at
the latter, told him not to touch him, or
he Barberl would shoot him. McGary
seemed to pay no attention to the warn
ing, but continued to advance until
within few feet. of Barber, when, as
the bystanders allege, he attempted to
seize the latter by the shoulder. Al
most simultaneously the revolver was
discharged, and McGary turned and
reeled toward the door, vomiting blood.
He reached the street and fell dead, the
ball having penetrated his left breast, be-
between the second and third ribs, about
an inch frcm the center OF the sternum,
entering the upper lobe of the left lung
near the anterior border, passing
through the curve of the aorta, an inch
and half from where it leaves the left
ventricle, passing through the windpipe,
striking the third rib, and passing by
the second and third ribs on the right
side of the body two inches from the
spinal column, and lodging under the
right scapula, where the bullet was
found and extracted. Barber at once
gave himself into custody, and is con-
fined in Jail. A coroner's jury was
summoned, and brought in a verdict
that McGary came to his death from
the effects Of a pistol-shot fired by George
s. Barber.

A TALE OF LOVE.

( One hundred and forty years were
the united ages of a couple married AT
the residence of NJ. Lambert, in Yates
City, last Tuesday evening. The bride
groom was from Mclean county; by
name,-Burwell; age ~. The bride,
Yate City girl; age, 6s; by name
Elizabeth Smell. There is,too, "a spice OF
romance in this true tale. The aged
couple have loved for more than thirty
years. When in the prime of Gfe-he
in the forties, she in the thirties-they
met and loved, but young loves dream
had a rough awakening and they were
drifted wide apart. He married but not
the woman of his heart. She was also
united TO another than the man of her
choice. Since then Mrs. Smell has been
twice married, twice widow; and Mr..
Burwell has also for some years been
widowed. A few weeks ago, the lady,
visiting some friends at Bloomington.
met her old lover, when Cupid's wing
famed a latent $ lrk of the old flame
until it burned brightly as of old.
Mrs. Smell ret ned to her home to
make preparatio for her wedding, and
ON Tuesday evening the Rev. Mr.
Couch celebrated the union of these
loyal hearts. .... ..

JEWELL TRlUMPHANTLY
ELECTED GOVERNOR.
Republican Majority in Both
Branches Of the Legis-
lature

AS we write the full returns from
Connecticut have not been received,
but the indications are that the Re
publicans have made clean sweep.
Governor Jewell is supposed to be
reelected by about two hundred
and eighty majority over all, which
is splendid triumph considering
the circumstar ,es under which the
battle was fought.
Four tickets were in the field,
headed respectively by Jewell, Re
publican; Hubbard, Democrat; Gil
lette, Temperance; and Harrison,
Labor Reform. In 1870 and 1871 on
ly the Republican and Democratic
tickets were run, the Democrats
electing Governor English in 1870
by s43, aud the Republicans elect
ing Governor Jewell in 1871 by 103.
The margin was so narrow, and the
influences brought into play in this
years canvass so complex, that a
Republican success was at first
scarcely hoped for.
The Legislature probably will
show Republican gain of two in
the Senate, leaving the House as ii
is with a Republican majority OF
twenty-one, securing a Republican
Senator.
The result of the Connecticut
election will probably put an end
to the coquetting between the Dem
ocrats and the Liberal Republicans
The straight ont Democrats attri
butte their defeat in the Nutmeg
State to the abandonment of the
traditions of the party, and want nc
more of that policy. The New
York Forld, which led off in the
new departure" policy, now calls
back the party to its old paths, and
warns its followers from strayine
Cincinnati-ward.

THE TICKET.

Thisis wholly unexceptionable.
Captain Wikoff is So soldier and a
gentleman" a man of ability, faith
ful and experienced in the duties of
his office. Judge Welsh is an able
and independent judge-one who
dares do right as he sees the right,
when to do the expedient might be
be more popular. His unanimous
denomination by acclamation is a
just tribute not only to his worth
and ability but to an independent
Judiciary. In short the whole tick
ct, as we have said, is wholly unex
ceptionable, and that exhausts the
subject

market opened up fairly active to-day, and
nearly il not all the good cattle were picked

of last week-but the common grades were
slow at the opening and continued to drag all
the way through. Selling at S to cents. Prime
