WoRsE AND WoRsE.-We can understand the green-eyed monster playing havoc with heart of any age from eighteen up to eighty, but we cannot conscientiously find a justification for that human being who will permit it to find an abiding placa in his breast after that extreme point of life's hayday. How then shall we speak of the Othelo in North Carolina who, at the i'm pulslve age of ninety six, is under indct- ment for murdering his wife in fit of jealousy? The wretched man pleads in mitigation that the fckle and heartless young creature of ninety callow summers had been flirting with other young fellows, which was an outrage that his nature could not calmly bear and permit to go unpun- ished. Here his jealousy destroyed at one fell blow party who might, if properly encouraged, have lived to be one of those remarkable women who do all sorts of wonderful things at the age of l2O, and make the rounds of the papers as an exam pie for others to go and do likewise. This is too bad

Appeals to 7He LG'o.-Rogers of the Courier last week acknowledged himself hog,cd with the same whip he has indus riously and indiScrim inately used for years to fog others with, laying 1t without mercy to whomsoever he chose to wal lop, and while himself cringing under the stings of this eame lash, he threatens to disgrace the fraternity by appealing to the law for protec ton, and demands of us that we fully rctract, etc, etc. He also has much to say about legitimate newspaper warfare. Three times did he aude in a most provoking and uncaled for manner to our intellect. intmating as much as to say that we were weak in intellect before we opened our batteries on him, and since then has call.d jackaas, a.skunk. and has alluded to the NEWS as being weekly driveling'; "bantling": calls our writings 'boyish twaddle,' and reflects se verely on character in accusing of pretend ing to be Mir. Horace Landon's friend while SC cretly plotting his defeat, and everything else as bad as his ingenuity would admit, then breaches loudly about Legitimate newspaper warfare" /! and now, when by sheer necessity we were com pelled to lay hold of the same weapons with which to defend ourself and he is beaten in his own game, he throws up the sponge and ingloriously threat ems to slink into the friendly embrace of the law seeking protection and asks US to ''bc manly and eat our words and talks about compelling us to do so. If by making the above threat it was his design to frighten us he might as well know now as at any time that we don't scare worth a cent, but as he Is the aggressor, so soon as ne chooses to treat us respectfully, we Il not put ls as strong as that,-even DECENTLY. we will re- ciprocate and thus the matter may end.

 Thief.

Robbery on the Cars-.Arrest of che Thief.
 Edward Beder, diamond merchant, who was on his way from Boston to New York on the Owl train Wednesday night, met with 8 mlsadYenture, which, however, might have been much worse than it was. On his arrival in Springfield he stepped off the train, lesying his travelling bag-a fine English dressing case-in his seat in the car, but on returning after getting a cup of ] coffee, he found it gone. He at once noti- fled the police, and they went into the Mas sasoit House to talk the matter over; while they were conYersing, well-dressed, gen teel appearing man, about forty years old, stepped into the office from the depot, and on seeing the officers jumped back in as- tonishment, but, instantly recovering him self, registered his name as W. Clark, and was shown to his room. The policemen at once :'spotted' him as the thief, and while he WAS writing his name one of them mo- ticed that his shaggy overcoat was full of splinters, as if he had been laying against a pile of lumber. Knowing that there was such pile just north of the depot, the po- lice went there and, in a few minutes, found the bag cut in strips lying behind some boards. Three fine pearls and 8 pair of onyx sleeve buttons, together worth about $4OO, had been taken out, but the thieves had missed 8 few diamonds of greater value, which were in another part of the bag. A passenger who sat near MT. Beder on the train haG previously been in terviewed, and he gave description of the man who took the carpet bag, correspond ing with the one who had the splinters on his coat. The evidence was deemed suffi. cient to warrant Clark's arrest, and he was taken into custody about o'clock, yester- day morning. A careful search failed to bring any of the stolen property to light, but It was probably carried off by a pal, who subsequently telegraphed from this city as follows :--''Gone ome. Couldn't stop. -GUs." Clark, or whatever his name is, takes the matter very coolly, and says he is joint owner in New York hotel, but he is evidently an old and accomplished thief. -Harttord Post.

 EFFICACY OF PRAYER IN PHYSICAL NA- TURE.-Prof. Tyndall says in the Popular Science Monthly:
 The bone contention at present is the physical value of prayer. It is not my wish to excite surprise, much less to draw forth protest, by the employment of this phrase. would simply ask any intelligent person to look the problem honestly and steadily in the face. and then to say wheth- CT, in the estimation of the great body of those who sincerely resort to it. prayer does not, at all events upon special occasions, invoke power which checks and aug ments the descent of rain, which changes the force and direction of winds, which af- fleets the growth of corn and the health of men and cattle-a power, in short, when . appealed to under pressing circumstances, produces the precise effects caused by phy. sical energy in the ordinary course of things. To any person who deals sincerely with the subject, and refuses to blur his moral vision by intellectual subtleties, this. l think, will appear true statement of the case. It is under this aspect alone that the scientific student, as far as represent him, has any wish to meddle with prayer, Forced upon his attertion as a form ot physical energy, he claims the right of sub jecting it to those methods of examination from which all our present knowledge ot the physical universe is derived. And ii bis researches lead him to 8 conclusin ad verse to it's claims; If his inquiries rive him still closer to the philosophy enfoldec in the words ''He maketh the sun to shine on the evil and on the good, and sendetl rain upon the just and upon the unjust = he contends only for the displacement o prayer, not for its extinction. He simply says physical nature is not it's legitimate do main. This conclusion, moreover, mus be based on pure physical evidence ant not on any inherent unreasonableness il the act of prayer.

OLD NEwsPAPERs.-Many people take newspapers, but few preserve them, yet the most interesting reading imaginable is ar old file of newspapers. It brings up the very age, with all it's bustle and every day affairs, and marks its genius aud it's spirit more than the most labored description of the historian. Who can take paper, dated half century ago, without the thought that almost every name there printed is now cut upon a tombstone at the head of all epitaph.
 1t is easy to preserve newspapers, and they will well repay tue trouble, for like that of old wine their value increases with their years.

The Horse Distempar.

The horse catarrh is on the increase, and its effects may daily be seen on the princi- pal streets, and almost every animal in the city ia affected. Butchers, milkmen, ex- pressmen and grocers are still working their horses though many of them are sick. We saw horse to-dayon Central row, that had the disease. but was apparently able to travel. In New Haven, post nsertssn ex- animation has been made Of a horse that died of the disease. The Pallat5iuna says: The real character of the disease is in- aamation of the respiratory passages, and in its secondary stage, of all the mucus mem- braheS. Sometimes the passages from the pharynx to the termination will be found to be affected, and aome of the larger in testines are not always free from infama- tion, the upper part of the trechea may have a collection of spume, adhesive in na. ture, and the tunic of the bronchi, the heart and lungs may also be affected.
 CAUSES.
 The causes of the disease are difficult to determine, but enough has been learned to know that it arises from some peculiar state of the atmosphere, probably soms foreign and injurious substance in it. It is also known to be most prevalent in cold or chilly weather and in the Fall or Spring.
 ITS NATURE.
 The disease is epidemic, and frequently spreads over whole country, as it is now doing. It is sometimes endemic, that is, pervades only one district or sometimes one town. It has also been learned that the disease increases with the number of hor- ses at the stables. An suthority-YouAt.- says that 1.-two or three horses shut up in a stable may escape. and out of thirty horses distributed through ten or fifteen stables, not one may be affected, but in g stable containing ten or twelve horses, all will be affected"
 TREATMENT.
 YouAtt rocco mcnds feyer draught con tsining an ounce of spirits of nitre ether, with six or eight ounces of liquid ammonie acetatis in a pint of water, twice day, and the application of counter irritant to the throat. He also recommends a mash for food, while preserving an equable warmth. h.-Hartford TInprs.

THE PHANTOM TRAIN-A writer in the Albany Evening Times relates conversa, tion with superstitious night watchman on the New York Central railroad. Said the watchman Il believe in spirits and ghosts. know such things exist. If you will come up in April will convince you" He then told of the phantom train that every year comes up the road with the body of Abraham Lincoln. Regularly in the month of April. about midnight, the air on the track becomes very keen and cutting. On either side it is warm and still Every watchman, when he feels this air steps off the track and sits down to watch. Soon after the pilot engine. with long black streamers, and a band with black instru- ments, playing dirges, grinning skeletons sitting all about, will pass up noiselessly, and the very air grows black. If it is moonlight, clouds always come over the moon, and the music seems to finger, as if frozen with horror. A few minutes after and the phantom train glides by. Flags and streamers hang about. The track ahead seems covered with dark carpet, and the wheels are draped with the same. The coffin of the murdered Lincoln is seen ly- ing on the center of car, and all about i in the air blue coated men, some with cof- fins on their backs, others leaning on them It seems then that all the vast armies of men who died during the war, are escorting the phantom train of the president. Tue wind, if blowing, dies away at once, and over all the solemn air a solemn hush al most stifling prevails. If train were pass- ing, i:s noise would be drowned in the si- lence, and the phantom train wouli ride over it. Clocks and watches always stop, and when looked at are found 10 be from five to eight minutes behind. Everywhere on the road, about the 27th of April, the time of watches and trains is found sud- denly behind. This said the leading watch. man, was from the passage of the phantom train

RebSeries OF the Treasury.

A bill passed by Congress on the Stb
inst, for the equalization of bounties
will take from the Treasury quite two
million of dollars. This 10 not, how.
ever, quite such depletion as is propo-
sed by one or two other measures of a
similar character, and which, if passed
by the House, will call for from seventy
five to one hundred million dollars. This
is in itself four or five times the amount
Of the balance. of receipts over expen-
ditures, according to the estimates for
the next fiscal year. The protest Of
Mr.. Dawes, therefore, against this ex-
travsgance in appropriations ir not un-
timely; fox, as he declared, if it is TO
continue all efforts to reduce taxation
might as we'll be abandoned now as at
the end Of the session. The proposed
subsidies for steamships alone will
amount to milliors, while FIVE millions
already have been appropriated for new
pnblic buildings.
