The GOVERNMENTS SUIT TO RECOVER
THE PIEDMONT RA1LRoAD.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury is vigorously prose
onting suits against tho Richmond and
Danvilie Railroad for the recovery of the
Piedmont Railroad, running from Dan
vile, Virginia, to Greensboro, North ca
rolina, which was owned, built aud fur
nished by the Confederacy. The suit in
Richmond has come to crisis; the rail
road company is badly frightened. ar
rangemonts have been made for the
seizure of that part of the road which
lies in North Carolina. Able counsel on
both sides are engaged. and the contest
promises to be lively. The counsel for
tue Government are very confident. The
Piedmont Railroad was built by tho Con-
federacy as military necessity, aud was
the chief source through which General
Lee obtained his supplies during the last
campaign of the war Washington Star.

The suggestion of Superintendent
Walker, of the Census Bureau, that
an intermediate census be taken in
1875, meets with general approba-
ton. His reasons are sound and
commend themselves to every
thoughtful person. We quote from
his report the following sensible
paragraph:
"Whoever will call to mind the es-
Inmates as to the population and
wealth of cities, States and sections,
which Immediately before the oc-
currence of the last census were
properly put forth, were made the
material of political and industrial
speculation, and were even taken as
the basis of State and National legis-
lation, will hardly be disposed to
question that the cost Of a census
once in five years would be amply
repaid by the light it would shed up
on the condition Of the people and
the progress of the nation in popula-
ton and wealth. Were the country
once to learn by practical exper-
ience the advantages of a quintennial
enumeration, it is not likely that a
longer period would ever thereafter
be allowed to intervene between the
Federal censuses."

are hopes that the flre wIII not again

are hopes that the fire will not again
break out.
Nearly all the firemen are thor
oughly exhausted by their almost
superbuman exertions during the
last thirty-six hours. The police
and military are almost totally ex-
hausted by continued labors, but
vigilance is unrelaxed. Great credit
is due to their successful efforts to-
ward maintaining order during the
confusion. and terror arising from
the coDfagration. A committee of
citizens have ably directed affairs
in the public streets during the pres
ent crisis. The numerous newspa-
per men, including many special
correspondents and telegraph corps,
have all suffered greatly from fatigue,
exhausted by oYer-exertions in the
public service.
The entire district burned covers
sixty-five acres of ground and en-
braces the best business portion OF
the city. Upwards of seven hundred
buildings are in ashes, the bare
blackened walls standing upright
amid ruins here and there.

The Bible corrected.

Robert Dale Owen, In a recent work, is en-
deavoring to straighten out the Scriptures, and
correct ideas which have been entertained bv
religious men for the last few centuries
Among other things, he makes the statement
that the ancient years exactly correspond In
length with our present months, so that, when
the Scriptures say that Methuselah was $50
years of age, he was only SO many months, or
something more than so years old. Mr.. Owen
may, possibly, be correct, but viii he please
look little further and explain the following
verse. 'Shem was hundred years old and
begat Arphaxad." By the above standard of
Bible dates Shem would have been a little
more than eight years old at the time. Major,
Abraham's grandfather, by the same reckon
ing, became father at the tender age of twen-
ty-nine months, and died at the age of twelve
years, the father of a numerous family. Will
Mr.. Owen look after this at onceY

A Young Girl Tied Hand and Foot
and Whipped Nearly tc Death.

A Young Girl Tied Hand and Foot
an6 Whipped Nearly tc Death.
This morning the facts in case
of most inhuman cruelty came to
light, but not soon enough for any
interference on the part OF the legal
authorities. Living on Chicago
street a week ago was a Scaudi-
navian named Wylsorsn. In his
family was a young Danish girl,
whose name was Christina, an adopt
ed daughter. She was about eigh-
teen yearS Of age, and had fallen in
love with a mechanic named John
son. Her people disapproved of the
match, and did their utmost to break
it of. She was locked in her room
in an attic and kept on bread and
water for several days, until she grew
so faint and weak it Wss deemed pru-
dent TO release her. Careful nurs-
ing restored her health, and she was
allowed her usual liberty, which she
used to meet her lover at unusual
hours and in out of the way places.
This was all right for time, but last
week Thursday Wylsorsn found the
two, in sweet converse in an old de-
serted shed, and at once made an at
tack on johnson, desisting only
when his face was pounded cut Of
all semblance to humanity. The
enraged man then took his daughter
by the ear and led her to the house,
where he tied her hands and feet to
the posts of bedstead, and then
proceed to to thrash her on the bare
back with a hickory whip stock. He
seemed to grow more infuriated at
each blow, and only ceased his in
human castigation when the victim
tainted.
Her screams had called to a win
dow of her house lady neighbor,
who witnessed the cruelty, and from
whom we obtained the facts herein
stated. She informed her husband
of the transaction, but he did deem
it his business to interfere.
Sunday, the matter having been
circulated over the neighborhood, it
was resolved by the Swedish peo-
pie living there to drive Wylsorsn
out of the ward. Several men
waited on him and plainly told him
that his cruelty was known, and that
unless he cleared out a warrant for
his arrest would be issued at once.
He took the warning, and, early
Monday morning, sent his furniture
to an autioneer, and yesterday
moved east with his family.
We learn that the girl is still quite
low-the result of her whipping
and has been taken charge Of by a
family living in the southern part of
the city, who will adopt her in case
her injuries do not prove fatal

Expressing Diatanoes in Coin.

Mark Twain, now in London, made an af-
ter-dinner speech to the Savage Club, in which
he expressed his difficulty in finding out where
he was in that great city as follows:
Everything in this monster city interests
me, and I cannot keep from talking, even at
the risk Of being instructive. People here
seem always to express distances by parallels.
To stranger it is just little confusing to be
so parsbolic-so to speak. collar a citizen,
and think em going to get some valuable
information out of him. 1 ask him how far it
is to Birmingham, and he says it Is twenty
one shilings and sixpense. Now, we know
that don't help a man any who Is trying to
learn. find myself down town somewhere.
and 1 want to get some sort of idea of where
am-being unconstitutionally lost when all
slone-and / stop a citizen and say: "HoW
far is it to Charlng Crossr' Shilling ilro in
cab, and off he goes. I suppose IL I We're to
ask Londoner how far it Is from the sublime
to the ridiculous, be would try to express 1t In

fretted ceiling of whose nave still
glows with the first gold brought by

A New Chill Cure.

The local of the Terre Haute Jo,lr7aI has
discovered a new cure for ague. Here it is:
To those afflicted with ague we say emphat-
ically, crawl down stairs head foremost Laugh
at the idea if you please, but do your crawl
ing first; you can then afford to laugh. Just
as the chill is coming on, start at the top of a
long fight Of stairs ard crawl down on your
hands and feet head foremost. You never did
harder work in your life, and when you arrive
at the bottom, instead Of shaking, you will find
yourself putting, red in the face, and prespir-
ing freely, from the strong exertions made in
the effort to support yourself.
It will effect cure, beyond a doubt: but
whether from this cause or that, we will never
tell you, nor need you care TO know. Try
it. 1t won't cost you near as much as patent
medicines, and if it fails it will only do what
they do every day. If it cures, as it surely will,
lay the facts before our local scientists, and let
them discover the cause. At all events, ye
shaking sufferers, lay this maxim to your
hearts "Orawlng down stairs head foremost
viii certainly prevent chill"

Slow Poisoning Prom Green Wall
Dacer

A physician in Western Massachusetts, re-
Gently had a lady patient who, for several
weeks, had been suffering from nausea, gener-
al prostration, and other symptoms of slow
poisoning. Failing to discover the cause Of
the symptoms, as last resort, the Doctor re-
quested her to move from her chamber, the
walls Of which Rere covered with paper of a
very light shade of green, so light, indeed, that
in the evening it could scarcely be distinguish
ed from white. After leaving the room the
symptoms Immediately disappeared, and the
patient rapidly recovered. A sample of the
paper was forwarded for analysis to the State
Chemist at Hartford, Mr.. Joseph Hall, Of the
High School, and was found to contain large
quantity OF arsenic. Mr.. Hall obtained the
poison IN the various forms of metallic arsenic,
yellow tersulphite, silver arsenic, and arsen-
ious acid, or common white arsenic, He esti-
mates that every square foot Of this Innocent
looking paper contained an amount of the
poieon eq uivalent to five grains of arsenious
acid, or double the fatal dose for an adult per-
son. This, In the moist, warm weather of
last July and August, was amply sufficient to
keep the air of the room constantly impreg-
mated with the poison, and any person occupy
ing such room would be as certainly poison
ed as though the arsenic had been taken into
the stomach. ford CouTGRt.
