The HenDhaW4H6aIton Murder Trial

FT. WAYNE, IND, August 16.-This has
been an unusually! interesting day for the
murder trial at Winchester. The defence
brought some very strong evidence to the
effect that the defendant had been threat
enedby the murdered man. The interest
eliminated when the defendant was put
on the stand. BE Is represented as tall,
stout fne looking man. His testimony
was given In q straightforward and efec-
tive manner, and while public opinion Is
still divided about hsmeritS of the case,
considerable sympathy Is felt for the
prisoner. The arguments Of the different
attorneys will begin tomorrow, but the
case will not probably be given to the
Jury before Tuesday or Wednesday.

Causes of Sudden Death.

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from "disease of the
heart, Z" do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, experiments have been tried IN
Europe, and reported to a scientific
congress held at Strasburg. Sixty-six
cases of sudden death were made the
subject of a thorough post-mortem ex-
animation /; in these, only two were
found who had died from disease of the
heart. Nine out of sixty-six had died
from apoplexy, while there were forty
six cases of congestion of the lungs
that Is, the lungs were s full of blood
they could not work, there not being
room enough for a sufficient quantity OF
air to enter to support life. The causes
that produce congestion of the lungs are
cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels,
sitting till chilled after being warmed
with labor or rapid walk, going too
suddenly from close, heated rooms into
the cold air, especially after speaking,
and sudden and depressing news oper-
ating on the blood. The causes of sud
den death being known, an avoidance OF
them may serve to lengthen valuable
lives which would otherwise be lost un.

That disease is supposed to be inevita-
BILE and incurable hence many may
not take the pains they would TO avoid
sudden death if they knew it lay in
their power.

Extraordinary Emigration.

The London Pail Mall Gazette thus
laments the exodus to the United
States eft is extraordinary that the
working classes do not seem more in
clined to stay at home and enjoy the po-
htical privileges which they have of
late gained, and which they were sup
posed to prize so highly. They appear
to be leaving us in swarms. The exodus
from Liverpool to the United States and
largest on record. The number of in
tending emigrants which daily reach
Liverpool is so great that the lodging
house keepers find it difficult to accom-
modate them, and the consequence is
that large numbers OF the emigrants
have to be temporarily lodged until such
time as vacancies occur in the customary
Iodging-houses. AS showing the extent
of the exodus, it is generally believed,
says the Manchester Examiner, that up
ward of 10000 e~migrants left Liverpool
last week for the United States and
Canada. This number, of course, does
not include those who would embark on
board the steamers. calling at London
derry and Queenstown.
From the number of emigrants at
present in Liverpool, and that are ex-
pected within the next few days, it is
computed tnat very SOOn IrOm fourteen
to sixteen thousand people will have
sailed from the Mersey in thirteen
steamers for the United States and the
Canadian ports. Many of them, nc
doubt, are Germans, and some are from
the Baltic ports, but vast numbers are
English and Irish, and why they should
leave us at this rate when we have sc

An exhibition more wonderful and in
teresting than that at Vienna viii he
held in Russia about the middle of Au.

THE MODOCs.

Surrender OF the Entire
Jack and Three Companions Again
dispatch dated Tule Lake Peninsula, May
29, gives the following details of the scout
after Capt. Jaek, the capture of him and his
band, and the subsequent escape of that noted
warrior: The cavalry and artillery command,
and Warm Spring Indians, under Col. Green,
left Boyle's( camp at 2 O'Clock this morning,
and rode in hot haste to Clear Lake, where
Gen. Davis issued special orders for a scout.
Bogus Charley, Steamboat Frank, Shacknasty
Jim and Hooka Jim accompanied the expe-
dition and led the way to Jacks Willow creek
retreat. Theyled the troops to a point within
a mile of the stronghold. Capt. Hasbrouck
passed up the north side of the creek with his
squadron Capt Jackson's squadron over the
creek along the south side Capt. Hasbrouck,
having had a mile further to travel than Capt.
Jackson, did not arrive at the stronghold in
time to accomplish the desired connection.
Jack was nevertheless surprised. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon, Jackson's men came across
two pickets, on the bluff near the creek, and
ran them through the juniper to Jacks re-
treat. The fleeing Modocs cried out, " Run
quickI Run quick! Soldiers 'coming!',
Capt. Jackson deployed his skirmishers along
the face of the, bluf. Though expecting to
receive a heavy fire, the men ran to the front
like deer under the lead of the officers. Sud-
denly the Modocs conversant with English
cried out "Surrender! Surrender! We no
fight. We want talk peace. We like peace
talk"
Boston Charley, the murderer of Rev. DIR.
Thomas, came in full view, and was immedi-
ately covered by a dozen rifles. Charley
offered to surrender, and was allowed to come
into camp, as he feared the Warm Spring
scouts. He threw down his rifle and extended
his hand in token of friendship. The profered
member was cordially grasped by the scouts.
Charley was then passed to the rear under
guard. Next he was taken to the other Modoc
captiyes, and by them interviewed. He says
that several of Jacks best warriors wanted to
leave him and come into our camp, and put up
a job on him. His gun was returned him, and
he was allowed to depart on his mission.
Hardley had this arrangements been effected
when the rife in the hands of Steamboat Frank
was accidentally discharged Several Modocs
who stood with uplifted hands decamped at
