JAMES FITZGEsALD was elected President OF
the city council at its Reorganization. He has
not his equal in the United States for tact in
harmonizing prej1lice and conflicting interests
for personal advantage. There was clear
majority against him in the council, yet he
over came all obstacles and now occupies the
chair We made gallant effort in our favor
against the confirmation of John Bell for work
house director a year ago in the council May
his shadow never grow less
TIE excitement in connection with the May
Convention is increasing The Mo. delegation
have secured the st. James Hotel. Col
Nichols. Chairman Of the Convention Com
mittee, reports that Missouri will send one
thousand delegates. The Convention will be
held in Mozart Hall which has been secured
for that purpose Tho committee propose to
hold public or grand mass meeting at the
SaEgaerfest Hall on the evening Of April Both,
at which 1t is expected that Trumbull, Carl
Shurz Horace Greeley and others will speak.
1t is evident that the Convention will be one
of the largest, if not the largest, ever held in
the United States. What it will do is beyond
mortal ken. History, however, will index it
as an earnest protest Of the people against the
President using his official patronage and in
fuence to secure denomination and re-elec-
ton. The result will be that no future Pres
ident will serve more than one term.

Mr.. Faye, few days ago, called the
attention of the French Academy Of
Sciences to the part which photography
was likely to play on the occasion of the
transit of Venus, which is expected to
take place ia December, 1874 He said
England was getting eight helio-photo-
graphic apparatuses ready on the model
OF that at Kew, three of which were Or
dered by Russia, which has one al
ready. The Germans will have four;
Portugal will send the Lisbon one to
Macao; the United States are also hav-
ing some made, but on quite different
plan; and, lastly, France intends getting
four constructed, according to the direc-
tons Of the late NJ. Delaunay. There
will therefore be upwards of twenty on
duty, under the management Of quite as
many first rate hands in photography, at
the various places in both hemispheres
where the phenomenon will he best
visible, for the measure of the suns par
allax. M. Faye added that in this
vast Photographic undertaking, two
methods we're to be distinguished; in
the FIRST, an object-giass, having short
focal distance, was taken, giving very
small imagewhich would have to be en-
larged by special optical apparatus, in
order afterwards to project it on the sen
sitive plate; in the second, long focal
distance was adopted, whereby the i'm.
age might be obtained at once of
proper size. The former plan had the
advantage Of requiring only very light |
and manageable telescopes; but there
was also the drawback of getting an in
correct image during the process Of en-
largement. This danger is avoided in
the latter method; but there remains the
inconvenience Of transporting and set
ting up telescopes measuring between
thirty and fhirty-six feet in length, which |
is certainly not encouraging. The Amer
leans, it seems, have nevertheless Sc
lected this system. NJ Faye is also in
favor of il, having had the experience Of
the lunar eclipse of 1858, which was re-
produced by photography with admira-
BILE exactness at the first trial.

A Greek ExeeutiOner Killed at

Ithica, the Adriatic island and home
of the ancient warrior and King, Ulysses,
Of the days of hero-wOrship, has evil
dently changed its character, as it has
for long time its name. 1t is called
Theaki now, and is Inhabited by a popu-
.lation about one-half murderers and the
other half stupids. The two old magis
trates on the island dispense justice;
the lash for small offenses, and death
for deeper crimes. The capital punish
ment is administered on a novel plan
but, unfortunately its novelty is not par
ticularly enjoyable to Christian, owing
to the cruelty that accompanies. The
victim is placed in a wooden box, with
the lid off, and tied down. The execu-
toner then takes him by the hair, sticks
a knife into his throat a. he would into
that Of a sheep and turns it until death
ensues Then the lid is nailed on,

They were condemned to death of course
and after several delays driven to the

approved style OF the executioner art

He was about to repeat the process upon

A correspondent gives some idea of
Alaskas wealth as follows; Then, in
the way Of fish, the cod, salmon, halibut
and herring present their claims, with a
score of others. The Goldfish OF the
Shumagin Islands is superior to the
Eastern article, and the supply is un-
limited A species of small fish called
the yulikon is remarkable for its plente-
business and as being the fattest mem
ber of the 6nny tribe-so greasy that
the Indians use it, after drying, as a
torch they light the tail, and that
and the backbone serve as wick,
the clamp burning for some time. In
valuable oils there are whale, walrus,
seal and other descriptions for manufac.
turing and lubrioating purposes, to say
nothing of the bars grease, essential
TO every wellf4rnished toilet, aud the
cod-liver oil which furnishes consump-
tives with a new pair Of lungs yearly.
The fur-bearing animals of Alaska oom-
prise both the land and sea otter, the
walFgs. hsaE, volt, deer, fox, marten,
mink, muskrat, nearly every kind of
seal-in short, all the desirable and
beautiful species one could ask for.
Walrus ivory and whalebone constitute
a source, also, Of considerable pfoAt.
