sPOOR LONGFELLOW." :"
His COnditiOR-His Wonderful Power Of
Endurance-The Nature Of His
Iniury-FOreVer Disabled.

NEW YORK, July IA Saratoga
special says that poor LongfellOw in his
stable this evening presented picture
of misery. There is a complete circle cut
from the center of his hOOf extending
round the cornet ring to his heel. His
middle tendon tonight is three times
the natural size. It appears that he
broke his shoe-plate on one of his hind
legs at the half-mIle pole, when he was
tapping Bassett, and cut his fore foot with
it. No doubts exist in the minds of
experienced turfmen that he is COM
pletely broken down and will never
appear in public again. Uncle Harper
is completely overcome, and walks
about with sorrowful looks. 1t is to be
regretted that the question of superior
ity has not been decided, for LOngfellOw
tonight is as much, if not more, the
hero than Bassett.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE War De-
partment has details of the massacre OF
the Lee family, on Clear Fork, sixteen
miles below Fort Griffin, Texas. The
father, mother, and little girl eight years
of age, were killed by arrows, scalped,
and their bodies left with the arrows
sticking in them. COrdelia, aged fifteen,
Susannah, aged seventeen, and John
Lee, aged six years, were taken prison.
ers. Mrs. Lees ears were cut off. The
commander of the post at Fort Griffin
sent scouting parties after the Indians,
but there was great delay in ther start
ing, owing to a flood in the river, and
there are but small hopes of overtaking
the murderers. General Augur fears
that more extensive operations will have
to be inaugurated against these Indians
before they will remain peaceable. With
Mexico ON one side and their reserva-
tions on the other as places of refuge and
security for themselves and their plum
der, the present defensive system can
not effect much,

TERRE HAUTE, July 1.-THE Demo-

Congressional District, meets at Spencer,
Owen county, tomorrow. 1t is under
stood that Hon. Daniel w. Voorhees,
will have the nomination without oppO-

cracts that he will support Greeley and
Brown. In 1870, Nj. Voorhees, was
elected by more than fourteen hundred
majority over his Republican competi-

only Democratic daily paper published
in this district, in its issue of this date,
editOrially says: '"The canvass will be
a sharply contested one, and it is by no
means certain that the district can be
carried by the Democracy in the pres
ent disorganized condition of the party. ("
Mr.. Hendricks and other prominent
Democrats are expected to attend the
convention tomorrow.

LONDON, July 17.-Mail advices from
Alexandria up to Friday last, give de-
tailed accounts of the affair between
Consul-General Butler and the Khe-
dives American officers. Consul Butler,
his Secretary, Wadleigh, and an attache
of the Consulate, named StrOlegO, were
dining at a Greek restaurant, where
were also a party Of officers, Generals
LOring and Reynolds and Major Camp
bell. As they were leaving the restau-
rant LOring and Reynolds saluted But
Ter, but Major Campbell passed on with
out recognizing him. Butler shouted
after him: "GOod evening, Major
Campbell" Campbell retraced his
steps, and high words and blows
ensued. The whole party then
went into the street, where Wadleigh
fired several shots at Major Campbell.
wounding him dangerously. General
Reynolds then fired at Wadleigh, but
without effect. The difficulty is re-
ported to have grown out of a long stand
ing enmity between Butler and Camp
bell. Persons who have recently arrived
in this city from Alexander, state that
they saw Butler, Wadleigh, Campbell,
Loring, and Others, playing cards to-
gether within the past two weeks.

Church as President Barnard's junior
counsel asked for an adjournment of one
week, on account of the absence of
senior counsel Beach, and because of
the confinement of Judge Barnard to
his room from an attack of The rheumatic
gout. The adjournment was unani-
mOusly negatived. Barnard objected to
swearing in members, but the Organiza-
ton proceeded, after which there was
an adjournment till tomorrow.

Perhaps no work of its size ever writ
ten has afforded as much material for the
scholar, artist and musician, as Goethe
Faust" AIRY Seheffer, among other
artists, has taken "MargretD as the sub
iect of some Of his most impressive and
pathetic pictures. The poem as a whole,
OF in part, has been set to music by diff
ferest composers, GOunOd's Faust {"
being the most successful, the music ac-
cOmpanyiHg the text sympathetically,
though il fails often as an Interpretation.
To penetrate into the depths Of Goethe's
philosophy and meaning contained in
this work has been undertaken by many
Of the first writers and critics. The poem
has been translated into twenty-nine
different languages. Among them We
assume that Bayand TaylOr's translation
into English ranks with, if not above,
any other.

A Dreaded Foe.

A curious plant grows in the southern
parts of Africa. 1t is known by the
name of hook thorn, and is said to bear
some resemblance to the cuttle-6sh.
The large flowers of this truly horrible
plant are lovely purple hue. They
spread themselves over the ground, or
hang in masses from the trees and
shrubs. The long branches have sharp,
barbed thorns, set in pairs throughout
their length. When the petals fall off,
and the seed-vessels are developed and
fully ripe, the two sides separate widely
from each other, and form an array of
sharp curved hooks. Woe be to the
traveller who ventures near at such a
timel The English soldiers in the last
Kaffir wars suffered terribly from this
plant. While the Kafirsunclothed and
oily, escaped harmless, the European
was certain to be made and held
prisoner. Imagine one hooked thorn
catching coat sleeve. The first move
lnent at escape bends the long slender
branches, and hook after hook fixes its
point into the clothing. Struggling on
trebles the number OF ihorned enemies,
and there is no way of escape ex cept to
stand still, cut off the clinging seed
vessels, and remove them one by one.

Headache Remedies.

40, how my head aches" said Mr..
A. sit seems as if never had such a
headache before"
"Take these boneset blossoms and
chew them," said (handing him what
would fill his mouth swallowing the
bitter juice then lie down, and if they
do not help you in half an hour, or you
do not drop to sleep in that time, will
try another remedy"
The half hour elapsed, sleep did not
come, and the pain was not eased SO /
took about as much saltpeter as would
make a lump as large as two peas, dis
solved it in little warm water, then
added little cold, so az nearly to fill a
teacup gave him teaspoonful of this
once in ten minutes, till he had taken
four teaspoonfuls wet clean white
cloth with some of the water and laid it
on his head under dry one.
After taking this he slept few hours,
and toward nj ght was able to do his
chores. Previous to retiring to bed
that night he bathed his feet in warm
water, to which bad been added wood
sshes sufficient to make it feel soft,
soaking them we'll, loosening all the ac-
cumulations on them, rubbing and
Wiping them dry. With these simple
remedies and attentions he was as well
as usual next day.

Alabama's Mineral Resources.

Alabama is calling attention to her
great mineral wealth. A deposit of red
fossiliferous, hematite ore extends from
near the center of the State to its
northern extremity, distance of $50
miles. 1t is pronounced the most re-
markable in extent in this country, and
affords practical yield in the blast
furnaces of over fifty per cent. of iron.
This is found to be perfectly adapted to
the manufacture of car wheels, guns
and all castings requiring great strength
and tenacity. The deposits lie so near
the surface that the railroad Cuttings
have in some instances exposed the
strata. Beside this iron ore, the coal
fields are also of great extent and are
mined with equal facility. They are
located near the Cahawba and Warrior
rivers, and estimated to cover an area
OF more than 5000 square miles. The
Warrior fields seams are seventy and
the Cahawba fifty feet in thickness.
Railroads, two Of which are in course of
construction, are only needed to de-
velop these resources.
