teresting than that at Vienna will be held
in Prussia about the middle of August

100000 or 40O,0 visitors from all parts
of Europe and Asia. The fair is held in
an immense stone building containing

that immense quantity only $4,000 ,OOO
worth remained unsold. All kinds of
goods and manufactures are sold at this
mammoth fair, and an opportunity will
be afforded for seeing collected together
the people of all countries, and the modes
of traffic of every race in Europe.
A New ORLEANS dispatch says it has
been discovered that, under an old law
giving to every State, each year, small
quota OF arms and accoutrements for
militia purposes, Louisiana, for which.
none had been drawn for several Years,
is entitled to 10000 worth of munitions
of war from the General Government.
Governor Kellogg has accordingly made
the necessary requisition.
IT has been reported it seems
there is no doubt of the correctness OF the
report-that the sounds of the rifles that

circumstances have produced strong

WE are informed says the Salt Lake
Tribune, that the recent visit OF railroad
magnates eliminated in an arrangement
between the directors Of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern Railroad. and
the directors Of the Utah Southern, by
which this important road will be pushed
as far as Fillmore the present season. If
TINS news be true, and we have every
reason to believe it is, there will be busy
tunes this summer, and our Southern
mining districts will rapidly rise in i'm
portance. Miners in SEWER and Star
districts should take fresh courage from
this information and develop their mines
as fast as possible.
THERE is in st. Louis at present a
strong reactionary feeling against tho
regulation of the Social Evil of that
city by law. That the decent Christian
sentiment OF the community is strongly
opposed to the ordinance, whenever If
can be induced to conquer its reluctance
to speak ON so uninviting subject, and
such sentiment on such subject is not
likely to be mistaken. Moreover il is
claimed that the "Social Evil" in St
Louis Is not bad enough to require any,
thing more than ordinary police arrange
ments, and observes the Globe. "The
Clty Council will render service to the
cause OF decency and to public morals by
declining to make itself responsible for
course of treatment of which the benefits
are doubtful and the evils great and

10 those who have never seen n sand
club the following description will be of
interest; The sand-club was originally
made by filing an eel-skin with fine
sand. This formed a very pliable and
deadly weapon. A blow could be struck
with it which would easily break bone
without leaving the slightest mark upon /
the skin. 1t is only within the past
few years that the sand-club has been in
use, or at least known to the police an.
thorities in the United States, Atten.

examination of which showed death

be found upon the outside of the bodv
burglar was finally captured with n
sand-club i'll his possession, made ont ~
eei-skln stuffed with sand. Being closely
questioned, he explained its use, When
the victim is struck, for instance. on the
mead, he drops insensible, and soon dies
