A Mystery Solved.

New YORK july 1.-THE death Of
Charles Goodrich is no longer a mys-
terry. He was shot by Minnie Walt
ham. alias Kate Stoddard, on the night
or the 2lst of March. She was ar
rested on Tuesday last. She yes erday
made full confession of her guilt to
the police authorities of Brooklyn.
The search for the murderer has
been unremitting. Not only has
Brooklyn been Sc r;hed but New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, baltimore, Wash
ington, and countless number of
smaller places. The primary object of
search was the woman Stoddard, but so
little was known about her personally
that at the commencement there was
next 20 nothing to work upon. The
photograph obtained represented Kate
as pleasant looking blonde of 80,
with moderately full face, handsome
eyes, hghtsome expression, and buoyant
manner, while Kate Stoddard, as ar
rested was thin and emaciated Only
one person who knew her positively
could be found--Miss Mary Handy
but for more than six weeks after the
murder that person was laid up in bed,
sick. Kate Stoddard was met by Miss
Handy in the street on Tuesday last
Miss Handy was going to New York,
and Kate Stoddard was evidently COM
ing from there when the meeting by
accident took place. AS soon as she
met her Miss Handy recognized her,
and followed her until she met police
officer, whom she induced to make the
arrest.

France Recent developments
point strongly to the probabilities that
the days of the Republic in France
are numbered, and the friends of pro-
gress have nothing to expect from the
present government. The restoration
of military despotism in France appears
to be McMahon's chief desire.

BRITISH SPIRITS.

Some interesting facts are elected by
the return made of the number of gal
Ions of distilled spirits manufactured,
and the number consumed in Great
Britain and Ireland during the year
1872. There were distilled 35,000,-
600 of proof gallons of which 2S,000,-
600 were consumed at home. Scot
land was the heaviest producer, her
product being 15,50o,000, while she
consume d nearly 100000. Ireland
e,mes next in production 100000,
while her consumption was the smallest
being little over 100000. Eng
land was the smallest producer, but the
largest consumer making S,75O,0OO
gallons and! consuming nearly H.
10000 These figures relatively
make Scotland the largest consumer OF
The three divisions, for with a popula-
ton OF about three millions her con.
sumption is 100000 more gallons
than ireland whose population is nearly
100000; and England with six
times the population of Scotland
consumes less than 100000 gallons
more than the latter.
SPAIN.--Matters are assuming a
serious shape for the perpetuity of
Of Republican Government in Spain,
ssd the death of the Republic seems
near at hand through the opposition of
the Carlists and Internationalists. In
several provinces instructions have
broken out, and the opponents of the
Government seem to be masters Of the
situation. Decentralization has become
apparent among the NATIONAL forces
rendering the Government at Madrid
powerless to suppress the insurgents.
Almost complete anarchy prevails, and
the condition of affairs is most deplor
able. The latest news confirm the de :
feat of General Cabrinety, command Ell
of the Republican forces. and the deatf
of that officer. Saballs led the insur
gents, and it is reported that the
Government troops surrendered with
out firing shot.
THE CaoLERA.-The Cholera scare
is about over, the disease having en-
tirely disa ppeared from several of the
cities visited. Some doubts are ex'
pressed about the disease SO prevalen1
in many places this season being the
genuine cholera. Whatever j: may
have been it was very malignant in
form, and quite fatal to those attacked
Meanwhile cities should closely observe
the laws of cleanliness, if they would
be exempt from this and other forms
of epidemic.

FoRT KLAMATH, Oregon, July 10,
ola YREKA Cal, July IL The Mill
tary Commission for the trial of the
Modocs implicated in the massacre OF
General Candy and the Peace Com
mlssloners concluded its labors yester
day. The evidence for prosecution
vas of the most positive character leav-
ing no doubt of the guilt of the prison
ers. The only witnesses produced
for the defense were Scarfaced Charley,
Dave, One-Eyed Nose and William.
Their evidence amounted to nothing
in favor of the prisoners, but was sim
ply recital of what the Klamath
Lake Indians had done and told them
(the Modocs) since this trouble COM
menced. The only testimony produced
by the prosecution, which was Of 10
value, was that of Mr.. Dyar, the Indian
Agent Of the klamath reservation
who could swear to nothing positively
exceptthat he accompaniedIG eneral Can
by and the Peace Commissioners to the
council tent. Not doubt exists in
the minds Of those who listened to the
trial but that the Commission will find
them guilty on the charges and speci-
hcations for which they were tried.
The soldiers and citizens of the place
appeared to take lively interest the
trial. The prisoners were also very
attentive and seemed to rely wholly
upon the commission for justice. Colon
ell Elliot, Colonel Curtis, and DR.. Bel
den. the official reporter of the Com
mission, will leave this morning for
San Francisco.

"OCEAN CABLES"


Sir James Anderson, in an address be-
fore the Statistical Society, gave some new
and interesting facts concerning the laying
and lasting of ocean telegraph cables.
He first calls attention to the construction
of these submarine messengers. He says
the loss of cables was found to be attribu-
table, first and most important of all. to
imperfect manufacture; owing, without
doubt at the CONNIE ncement, to inexperi-
ence in insulating the wire. Also. that it
required carefully selected copper wire to
give the desired standared, some copper
wire being no better than iron for the pur-
pose Of conductivity; copper wire. one
tenth of an inch in diameter, being equal
to an iron wire one third Of an inch in di-
ameter for electrical purposes. He also
gives additionally the following causes for
failures. both in laying and preserving
cables. The copper conductor not being
kept in the centre of the gutta percha COW
ering, the electric current destroys the
light film, and then the cable being ex-
posed is soon destroyed. The first Atlan-
tic cable failed on account of imperfect
manufacture; it was also hastily laid,
never having been tested under water the
copper wire was not good, the steel
wires of the external covering were too
small it had been coiled and uncoiled too
many times, which, together with expos
ure to the sun and many changes Of tenn
perature ruined it. Gables are injured by
currents or tides, and by chatting upon
rocks. They are often laid too taut, and
if they are small and not not strong they
very soon break, and being weak cannot
be taken up for repair, and consequently
are lost Another enemy of the cable is
the teredo, or borers of the sea. They
are of various kinds. Some of them eat
away the hemp and then bore through the
gutta percha and destroy the core. Light
ming is still another source of damage, al
though this may be and now is guarded
against. Mr.. Anderson in particular ad-
vocates the construction and laying Of
large heavy cables, to bear the strain con-
sequent on laying in deep water, also to
be able to overcome the accumulation of
deposit that gathers on parts suspended
from one point to another, where the bot
tom of the ocean is uneven, and If pOssi-
BILE to be of sufficient weight to sink stead
lily to the bottom, especially where it has
to fall into hollows and cavities. Other
reasons are given, but these are sufficient,
in favor of large cables. We have been
. particularly interested in reading this ad-
Uress, anu We presume All are more OF less
interested in facts concerning the making,
laying and working of that wonderful mes
sager, which to-day brings to us informa-
ton of events transpiring in Europe and
on the continent Immediately after their
occurrence. Thirteen years have passed
away, over thirty thousand miles of ocean
cable have been laid, and we are in direct
communication with the ends of the earth
The great advantages given by this means
to trade, commerce, civilization, justice,
law, government and religion no one can
estimate

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray Or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rous to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
aot soil white cambria, and yet lasts
lrag on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
I,istre, and grateful perfume. &
