CAUSE OF POWER IN THE RIGHT
HAND.--ln paper read before tle
Chlrnncial Society of London. DR.. Orle
states it as his belief that the suneri"r.
lty ofthe right hand, in works reouir.
ing streni'n aud skill, is not due merely
to custom and usage. His reasons for
this opinion are that the superior now
er of The right side is not confined to
Tue arm, but extends to the leg. and
THAT 1t commences in the arm before
use or education begins, and continues
III spite of all efforts to resist or divert
1t. This superiority has resemblance
TO some malIormations, inasmuch ~ #
is hereditary aud is met with more fro

men, bnt in apes and parrots. The an.
thor further asserts that the Left siIa

sests that this greater development of
ne left side is due TO the greater ouan- |
ity OF blood which it receives.

The carIIst chief san,a Cruz.

A Spanish correspondent of the IIXnne Slecle
gives an account of the Carist chief Santa Cruz,
whom he SAYS he met the other day in the neigh
borhood of Mondragon. "Santa Cruz" he saws,
"is man of about thiTty-hve short, pale, thin,
nervous, and with a singularly energetic cOunte-
nance His beard is thick, the hair of his head
is cut close, and there are Two bald patches near
his temples. Two small eyes, like those OF an
owl shine out from under an arched brow. His
lips are thin, and nose bent.
On the whole, his appearance is repulSiye, espe-
cially to those who have heard of his cruelties-
He has q frightened look, and ! was told that
this look had become habitual since q price was
set on his head. His speech is brief and dry, and
he answers by mOnosyllables.
Our carriage stopped near the wall Of a sulphur
bath establishment, where there are number Of
holes evidently produced by musket shot, in the
form of a circle. lady had come in her carriage
along the same road as we did some weeks ago.
santa Cruz ordered the carricge 10 be stopped,
and took a packet of letters which were being
conveyed by the coachman into his room. The
lady was the wife Of well known member of
the Liberal party who had been captured by
another Carlist band, and hearing that Santa Cruz
was living in the village she entered his house
What passed between Them no one knows but a
quarter Of on hour after she was brought out OF
The house by twelve soldiers, who placed her
against the wall and shot her there. The house
which Santa Cruz uses as his headquarters 10 oc-
cupled by forty men, who form his body guard,
and are commonly known in the district as the
hlack hands Notwithstanding
this guard, Santa Cruz is constantly in fear Of
being poisoned.

From the Camden. n. j., Democrat,
WHAT BAYARD TAYLOR SAYS.

This gentleman, writing from Vienna 10 the
n. Y. TRIBUNE, gives dark picture of Ameri.
can interests, and the standing of our national
character at the Vienna Exposition, where our
shortcomings are 30 conspicuoHsly displayed 10
the worlds scrutiny. He Gays that "impaiience
in the exhibitors, embarrassment in the Com
missioners, wrath in the fold, emotions Of every
sort in the 20 or so HoBoraries, and the un-
speakable modification in the citizen spectators
OF the scene, make Vienna anything but pleas
ant TO an American just now. / have tried not
10 write Of this, but it iS part Of the situation.
and must, at least, be mentioned"
He attributes the Irregularities to "riValry
for placesp beWails the inexperiencs of the
Commission, and regrets that most Of them are
not "men qualified 10 meet their fellow-COm-
mimioneEsfrom other lands on an equal ground
Of character and intelligence" Mr.. Taylor, in
accounting for the humiliating position in which
enthusiastically officials have placed ns, says
It is the system Of reWarding party services
By ofics-of putting any man into any place
which they must accuse. ] will say nothing Of
The absurdity Of Honorary Commissioners, and
anywhere from three TO twenty Commissioners
from each State, for very few Of them have any
specified duties, and none Of them are recogniz.
ed By the Austrian officials. Those who come
with purpose and intelligence, will quietly ae-
complish their work, while the ignorant and
sWaggerers among them are stripped Of al au-
ih0Fity.

The Post omce.

ttls to be regretted that the Washington OH
mass OF our business people, as to keep gentle
man in our post Office who seems to care moro for
hour or two on holidays than be does for faith
fully and satisfactorily discharging his official
duty. Yesterday the pest Office was again closed at
o'clock in the morning, and all the mail matter
received after that time remained locked up in
the Office When It is known that all the north
ern and southern mails and that from the PENN
sulA arrive after the time at which the office
was closed, and the letters aud papers were all
kept from those to whom they were direete duntil
the next morning, the justice of the indignation
Of the people will be understood. Certainly the
Republican party has enough men in it 10 furnish
an officer who will discharge his whole duty.

PAYING your enemies 10 kill your foes, might
be commeudable under certain circumstances,
but We cannot believe the Republic has been re-
duced to the necessity yet that such a policy
should be approved Of Captain Jack is vile
wretch, or he never could have committed the act
Of assassination he did, after dscoying Gen.
Cauby and the Peace Commissioners unarmed
into his presence. But nevertheless, the policy
of employing some of the meanest Williams who
helped hlm 10 do these deeds Of vengeance, aiter
they found they were unable TO slay any more Of
our men. withou; lorfeitlng their lives, is very
doubtful one, and liable 10 be misconstrued by
The Indian tribes generally 1t is in effect saying
TO the worst chief you have fought and killed
cur men we will give you the preference and
highest pay TO join us and Kill your former asso-
ciates, as we are utter unable TO suhdue them
ourselves with all our boasted power. Aside from
this the y. Y Herald doubts the policy, and fears
that Gen. Davis has fallen into trap devised by
Capt Jack to get a supply of arms and amdni-
tion. 1t thinks Bogus Charley, Schacknasty Jim,

An exhibition Of a more wonderful and inter
esting nature than that at Vienna will be held in
Russia about the middle Of August. The scene
of its operations is the historic city of Mini Nov
Gorod, which is situated at the confluence Of the
Nolga and the Okla, in Central Asia. The ordi-
nary population Of the city is about 81 600 inhab-
itants, but during the fair that number will be
augmented by an addition OF 100000 or 100000
visitors from all parts OF Europe and Asia. The
fair is held in an immense stone building contain
ing three thousand shops, in which sales are made.
One hundred and forty five million dollars worth
of wares and goods were brought to last years
fair, and of that immense quantity only $20,0OO,-
600 remained unsold. All kinds of goods and
manufactures sold at this mammoth fair, and
an opportunity will be afforded of seeing collected
together the people Of all countries and the modes
Of traffic Of every race in Europe
Wilmington daily gazette., 1873-05-31

The Exhibition may after nll prove an elephant
to the Viennese. At last accounts strangers were
heeing from that city as if It had the plague. The
fact Is that the landlords have been attempting
to make bay while the sun shines, too fast. Their
tahpre is due 70 the unmistikabla TACT that the
Exhibition is not in order Alter The hFst sarerb
pageant was over there was but little left TO soc,
SO there was inducement for travellers to linger.
Ih7y became birds Of passage, moi Gagged, as the
severely hit on the wing The prices charged are
said to be outrageous 1t requires the income OF
a small principality to remain long. Only Amer
icans and Russian mobiles can stand 1t. Such q

are holding aloof, intending to come later In the
