THE NORTHERN Pacific.

Tne Heruh intlmated from tho mo-

Ths following from the Philadelphia

key to the position OF things on tho

and Que ether'fact, We are able to get at
the actual present situation. ...- g.
Che Construction Syndicate have
givsu Mr.. Mead orders to keep the road

THIS ia the reverse Of the policy that

A Horrible Mystery insLoadon.

One Of the most mysterious and ter.
rible murders of the ago has just been
brought to light by the discovery Of
some human remains At Battersia Park,
on the Thames, near London. At frs,
the left breast and lower part Of the
chest were fonnd and identified as be-
longing to female form. On the same
day other fragments were discovered.
Soon ths collection included the scalp
and the skin Of the face, which by some
diabolica, ingenuity had been striped
from the skull and head. The appear
ance Of the remains indicated that the
body hid been cut to pieces before it
was cold. Eleven fragments in all have
been found the right and left thorax
the scalp, and the skin Of the face, both
thighs, both feet, the left half Of the pei
Wis, with the four lower vertebrn, the
right shoulder joint, and both fore-arms.
The parts missing are the skull, both
hands, both legs, the left sho!,ldsr jsint,
and the internal viseera. No clothing

the 18th September to the 10Th Ootober.
there we're 976 deaths in Memphis, 700
OF them resulting from yellow fever.
There is slight decrease reported now,
and the sanitary condition may be con-
sldered as improving. At Shreveport,
every business house is closed, and
every member of eight leading business
firms is dead. Notwiths .andipg the
distressing financial stringenoy every.

Loss OF THE STEAM-Tua OLDHAM
The Wilmington IN. C.) Journal, OF Oc-

Oldham. which left here last Saturday
night for Charleston, under command OF
Captain d. P. Morgan, was lost on
Wednesday. about fvo miles off the
mouth Of Little River. Her pumps re-
fused to work, and, as she could get no
headway, she became nnmanageable,
and was swamped by the heavy sea that
was running at the time. Her crew
succeeded in getting off safely"
a PAIR OF FooLs.-A man named
Harper, who lives in Missouri, writes to
the st. Louis Caucasian to say that lie
will bet So, 900 That President Grant,
"unless be dies from natural or other
causes. will bo assassinated on or before
the. 10th day of April, 1871" It is
doubtful which is the greater donkey
the nun who made the bet or the man
who printed it. What good card that
bet would be just before AN election!
