A BuBxus coL1 NuE.-About han
drsd years ago a coal mine At the Bank
oolllsry near Rotterdam, England, took
fire, and all efforts atthe time and subse-
queutly we're Intellectual to extingnish
il. Not long agOit was ascertaincd that
the flames were approaching the bottom
OF the shaft. In order TO prevent, il
possible, the FIRE from extending to other
parts Of the working wall was built 1000
yards in length, and varying from nine
inches to five feet in thickness. Metal
pipes have been inserted in this wall, Sc
cursly plugged; but by removing the
plugs the state Of the air, and even the
position of the FIRE, can be ascertained,
The heat arising from this fireis so intense
that two or three crops year can be OBJ
tanned from gardens over the colliery.

FRANCE.

PARIS, May S.-The speech Of Duke Dan
fried Pasquira, in the National Assembly On
Saturday, wherein he pointed cut the abuses
practiced in the army by Contrata, has eI-
cited great sensation in Government Cir
cles.
Rouher has given notice that he will 4ues-
ton the Government on the 18th inst, rela-
tive to the measures which have been taken
to reform the alleged abuses.
Marshal Bszane has taken up his residence
at Versailles, where he holds himself ready
for whatever disposition Government may
see fit to make of his case. 1t is probable
that he will be arrested soon.
The municipal authorities Of Paris have
resolved to rebuild Hotel de Vile, which
was destroyed by the Communists. The new
structure will cost 675, 900 francs.
PARIS, May l0.-The Carlists report that
their strength in Spain is in the province Of
Biscay, and news O! IN attack Oh Bilboa is
expected daily. The troops have dispatch
stating that a column of Spanish troops
which marched out of Bilboa was attacked
and driven back by, the insurgents. The
same paper says that trustworthy account
of the affair at Irequitta show that the Off
cial accounts greatly exaggerated its import
ance. Only the rear OF the Carlist forces,
1900 men, was engaged, and the prisoners
taken by the government troops were nearly
oil inhabitants of Irequitta, suspected Of
sympathy with the instruction. Don Carlos
has succeeded in joining his partizans, and
there are 1900 insurgents in the province Of
GirOna and 1000 in that of Linda.

CUSTON HOUSE.

Tie Omaha papers from time to time refer
to the magnificent building in process Of
erection at that place BY the United States,
for Government Custom House and Post

much Leavenworth has lost in the past BY
not havies representative At Washington.
Des Moinea, with only shout two-thirds of
our population, and not near - large - sew
eral other cities in Iowa, secured = Custom
House worth half q million, because q MEM
bar Of Congress lives there; Omaha, with
not mole than half a many people As We
have. had no difficulty in securing q like
favor, because she, also, had . member of
Congress; but Leavenworth, with Claims
vastly superior to these of either Of the towns
mentioned, has heretofore failed to secure
such favor, simply because abe has had no
body at Washington who felt enough interest
in her welfare to ask for it-and It would
cost but little more than the asking. But
hereafter We shall fare better; with one Of
our own citizens in the Senate, it is but
reasonable for US to expect that all such
favors as wide-avake Congresmen know
how 10 obtain for their constituents, will be
secured to Leavenworh. A building for =
United States Custom House and Postof6ce
is one of the public Improvements which
circumstances justify rs in counting upon
with certainty, during the next twelve
months.

CUNNING.

II is the opinion of the St. Joseph Herald
that the Democrats are about as cunning as
old rats ever &c. to be. They did not want a
Democrat, even if he was liberal, nominated
at Cincinnati, for they know the Liberal
movement will fail before the people. They
have no hope tina; Grant can be defeated
What they are after is the 'loaves and
fishes" to be obtained in smaller packages,
such as Congressman, county officers, etc.
BY giving Liberal Republicans the candi-
dates for President and Vice President, the
Democrats can claim the support of the sore
headed Republicans for minor offices. In
this way they hope to elect a number of
Congressmen, county officers, etc. In dis
tricts and counties where the vote is close be-
tween The two parties, the Democrats have
strong hopes Of success through this channel.
And in every county and every State where
there IS Democratic majority, straight

HANGING.

What's the matter in the New Ioik
World? Does the cultivated editor of that
journal feel so badly over the miscarriage Of
his plans at Cincinnati that his usually anna
bic disposition has '.sonred" toward all
mankind? We are led 10 these questions by
the fact tina; late number of the paper in
question comes 10 us with a savage and
''bloody" article, inveighing against the Leg
islature Of Iowa for havirg abolished the
death penalty for capital crime in that State.
Hanging Is legalized murder; it is one Of
the most brutal relics Of barbarism, and the
tendency OF our progressive civilization is
towards lis inevitable abolition. 1t is 10 be
expected that the abolition of the death PEN
atty, like most other humane reforms, will
meet with opposition among the low and ig-
norant, and among certain classes of better
people who permit reason TO be governed BY
prejudice; but in the columns OF refined
jonrnal like the World, which, no.withstand-
ing its Democracy, usually keeps up with
the spirit of the age, such an article as the
one We refer 10, seems sadly out of place, and
can only be accounted for on the hypothesis
fret sugges,ed-that the World is "sour"
over Cincinnati.

Ii i pretended that the LeavenwOrth bridge

bridge ia fully twenty-five feet higher than

now bridged at Omaha, at 81. Joseph, at

Charles. Charters for bridges at Nebraska
