Danger OF Carrying Concealed Weap.

Krasnovcdsk to the south, are within an
easy rush of the Uzbek horsemen from
Khiva, and can be effectually prevented
from assisting each other. To the north
east, KhIva menaces the Russian lines
on the Jaxartes (Sir Daria) and on the
lrgizh; TO the northwest, those on the
Emba; and two or three hundred
miles north of the Emba lies Orenburg,
the headquarters of Russian civil and
military organization in that part of the
empire; for the safety of which, II is re-
ported, fears are already entertained.
Russia has now, according to common
information, about SO, 900 men In Central
Asia. A comparative moderate effort,
with her present railway system, will
double the number. Meanwhile, the
steppes of the "lesser Kirghiz horde"
which lie across the road to Orenburg,
have already been "raided," as the mod
ern phrase runs, by the Khivan squadrons.
and Russian detachment under Colonel
Markosoff repulsed with considerable loss
OF camels and baggage.
1t is with this stage of affairs before us
that we have now to judge of the last in
telligence afforded. According to it the
Russian Government have finally decided
on a campaign against Khiva, though
contrary to the strenuous opposition of
Prince Gortschakoff.
The expedition is to move in three COL
umns-one from the Caspian (Krasnov-
odsk being the point of departure indi-
cated), one from Orenburg, across the
wide intervening steppes; one from Tash-
kend, the recent acquisition of Russia in
Central Tartary. With all this grand
preparation, we are assured that Russia
has nothing so little at heart as the an
nexation of Khiva. We shall see. Look
ing at geography only, 1t would seem al
most impossible for Russia to dispense
with the acquisition, or at least the con-
troll, of the Khanate, if she means to re-
tain any hold on Central Asia at all. And
as long ago as the reign of Peter the
Great, the Khan of Khiva, according to
Russian authorities, rendered forever
allegiance to His Majesty the Tsar."-

THE OLD WORLD.

It seems that it was the Spanish steamer
Murillo which run into and sunk the emf
grant ship Northfeet, off Dungeness Light
house on the night of the 22d ult. The
steamship, however, was not sunk, as was at
one time believed, but arrived at Cadiz in
safety. The Murillo sustained no damage
by the collision.
On the night of the 1st the British Isles
were visited by one of the most violent
storms ever experienced there, even at this
ordinary depth in London and surrounding
country. On the morning of the I'd it was
six inches deep in the city. Travel was al
most wholly suspended. In the provinces
the snowfall was much heavier, and in the
extreme north there were drifts several feet
deep. The gale ragged with great fury all
around the English and Irish coasts. Many
wrecks are reported, and there was fearful
loss of life, especially off Torquay and
around the Sicily Islands.
The report that Sirdar Abdul Rahem had
captured Fort Hissar, at the instigation of
the Russians, and was making other aggres-
sive movements in Afghanistan, was contra
dicted in London on the I'd.
The Berlin Vessische Zeituns of the 1st
argues that the Russian forces in Central
Asia are strong enough to defy any attempt
of the British to check their progress, and
England is powerless. Russia was only
waiting for false step on the part of En-
gland.
A dispatch from the south of France on

The Loomis Aerial Telegraph.

A bill incorporating the Loomis Aerial
Telegraph Company was recently passed
by Congress. This aerial telegraph
scheme is novel thing. The plan of DIR.
Loomis, the inventor. is to telegraph from
a high point of the Rocky Mountains to
the highest attainable peak of the Alps,
at which point a tower is to be erected,
on the top of which huge mast is to be
placed. An apparatus capable of collect
ing electricity is to be put upon the upper
end of this mast, by means of which, at
such elevation, it is claimed that strata
of the atmosphere will be reached which
is charged with electricity. Ground cou-
nection, the same as is used in ordinary
telegraphy, will be erected. This electri-
fed strata of the atmosphere will, as with
the ordinary single wire and ground con-
nection, make complete circuit, and It
is claimed that the slightest pulsation Of
electricity at one tower will produce SINH
lar pulsation at the other. The company
is to have capital stock of two hundred
thousand dollars with the privilege OF
increasing it to two millions If the inter
est of the company shall require it. The
business and objects of the corporation
are stated in the bill TO be to develop and
utilize the principles and powers OF nat
ural electricity, TO be used in telegraph
ing, generating light, heat and motive
power. and otherwise, and operate any
machinery, run by electricity, for any
purpose.

The Greeley MOnument---Address 0i
the Committee.

To the People of the United States:
The committee to raise a fund to COM
memorate the virtues of the late Horace
Greeley, by statue and monument in
Greenwood, has been fully organized by
the appointment of the Hon. VIM. w.
Niles, of Westchester County, as Chair
man, the Hon. Andrew Fl. Green, Con-
troller of the City of New York, Treasur-
er, and Edmund G. Stedman, Esq, of
New York, Secretary.
The members of the committee, as far
as appointed, are to work in earnest and
with sure prospect of success. But
they are conscious that it does not belong
to them or to any limited number of men
to render adequate honor to one whose
just fame belongs to the entire people.
Horace Greeley was pre-eminently man
of the people; he rose from among their
ranks by industry, frugality, and life of
blameless purity; his example no less
than his written words will remain for
ever precious legacy to the masses of
workingmen who are actuated by the
same pure ambition as that which raised
him from poverty and obscurity to the
honorable and conspicuous posit n in
which for many years he led the public
opinion of the country. There is nothing
in his character or career which mars the
force of his benefcent influence No
young man can ponder the story of his
life without profit. He is one of the few
public men of our age who may be safely
held up to the imitation of the young. 1t
is, therefore, to the people at large
that the committee confidently ap-
peal. 1t is their privilege and
duty to honor worthily the man who best
represented the brain and conscience of
the masses.
This is in no sense a partisan enter.
prise. The committee is composed of
members of all parties, equally proud to
do honor to one whose laborious life was
passed in devotion to the general well
fare.
All who believe with US, that Mr.. Gree
ley's great efforts in behalf of freedom, of
enlightenment, of economy and of pro-
gress, have not been without beneficent
results, are cordially invited to share in
this tribute to his memory. The rich
cannot better show their appreciation of
the lessons of industry and order which
he taught, and the poor, in giving what
slight sums they can afford, will honor
their own estate and aspirations. 1t is
not doubted that every editor in the
country will be willing to forward the
work, either by an editorial Endorsement
or by receiving and forwarding such
sums as may be raised in his locality.
There is not village in the land but con-
tains some man who has profited by Mr.
Greeley's teachings. We hope there is
not one where an effort will not be made
to contribute to this expression of the ma
tional gratitude.
A memorial volume will be kept con-
tanning the names and residences of every
contributor; and upon the completion of
the work will be deposited in the histori-
cal society for preservation.

A Topeka dispatch of the 31st ult. says
Senator Pomeroy's friends claim that the
charge of bribery against him is a put-up

At the opening of the Greeley will case, on
the Sd, Judge Hart stated that he had received
a note from Miss Ida Greeley, which had
been approved by her sister, in which they
begged to withdraw from the contest, which
their opponents were determined to wage
over their fathers grave. The contestants
then proceeded to prove the will made BY
Mr.. Greeley in 1871, without further opposi
tion. 1t was stated that Mr.. Greeley left
property estimated to be worth s206, 900
which, with the estate of Mrs. Greeley
would amount to s225, 900.

How Appearances Deceived a Smart
Hotel Clerk.

Resting over night at pretentious
hotel, and breakfasting very heartily
there in the morning, was an aged stran-
ger, whose unspeakably seedy attire,
while it had been unnoticed in the dark
hours of his arrival, excited the dire dis
trust of the officials of the house as re-
vealed by daylight Sorely suspicious
was the superb clerk of the establishment
that the latter was to be wronged of its
dues by some trick or plea of the venera-
Bile shabby guest, and when the latter hav-
ing dispatched his meal presented him
self at the desk with an admonitory
cough, his doubts became a certainty
Il have had my breakfast" began the
aged man, deliberately, ''and candor
compels me to say" "Hand over the
money, you old rascal p' interrupted tie
clerk, in rage. cas- was saying" re-
sumed the stranger, placidly, "candor
compels me to inform you" "Call
policeman |" roared the clerk to bell
boy. "We'n have our twelve shillings,
or you go to the lookup" The boy
started upon his errand without apparent
notice from him of the seedy costume,
who, taking his own time to draw forth
from some obscure pocket a vast and
greasy wallet, quietly repeated. Gas I
was saying, I've had my breakfast, and
here's your twelve shillings; but candor
compels me to inform you that them
mashed potatoes was lovely-perfectly
lovely, sir and don't mind throwing in
shilling extry for 'em."

a PHlLANTHROPlST.

WHAT does he do when the sidewalks glare,
And every brick seems but snare
To catch the passer unaware
He spreads his ashes.
And when down town we creeping go,
And trembling tread, a tottering row,
With honest features all aglow,
He spreads his ashes.
Long may he live, that man Of soull
Filled be his bipufFith red-ash coal,
Till halos crow h his sanity poll
Who spreads his ashes.
And when he leaves this world Of slides
And with grim death serenely giides,
May this be heard, and naught besides
peace to his ashes"

THE New York World makes the serious
charge that few days ago not less than
twenty car loads of diseased Western
sheep arrived in that city from Chicago,
and many of them were killed as quickly
as possible and sold to consumers The
senders were Immediately telegraphed to,
and warned that if any more diseased
sheep were shipped they would be imme-
diately returned or seized by the proper
authorities. Sheep whose fleece showed
evident signs of the pestilence when alive
it was found could be detected by COM

filed with sluggish blood, along the back
visible when the pelt was stripped off,
was sufficient indication that the disease
permeated the system, to say nothing of
the general leanness and thinness of the

The Plague Spots of Phoebe.

Time and again has the RECORD called
attention to the shockingly filthy condi-
ton OF the city, but 50 far it seems not
TO have had the desired effect. One man
allows nuisance upon his premises
because another man does the same thing
with impunity. In the principal thor
oughfares are to be found disease breed
ers too loathsome for description, while
in some OF the less prominent streets,
such rs McCannon and Davis, where
charming residences might be fitted up
within u lew steps OF the heart of the
city, vet sufficiently removed from the
ordinary range of flying bullets to afford
comparative protection to life, If there
was only some way of compelling at
tention to cleanliness, filth also
abounds. The other day our attention
was specially directed TO one of the
filthiest localities imaginable, situated on
Davis street, between that and the rear
of buildings on Main street. The stencil
arising from it was almost stifing yet a
family is compelled to inhale the pesti-
lential atmosphere merely because they
are too poor to seek out better quarters.
while the man by whom this shocking
nuisance is committed doggedly refuses
to abate it. As remedy for these evils,
which threaten the health of the city, we
beg to suggest that the parties who have
demonstrated and complained in vain by
word of mouth and through the columns
of our paper, will now present theii
| grievances to the Grand Jury. With a
town OF city government to appeal to
there would be no difficulty, but as
we have nothing of that kind to enforce
an observance of hygeinic laws, there is
no remedy but in an appeal to the Grand
Jury. Both the common law and the
statutes now in force define what NUS
ance is, and it appears to us that indict
ments under the provisions of the statute
must follow if vigorously prosecuted
The Grand Jury meets to-day.

that number of ladies, well known in
Phoebe, are taking energetic measures
towards holding grand fair the first
week in August, the proceeds to be de-

meeting was held last week and various
committees appointed to superintend the
different departments. From the char
acter of the ladies having the enterprise
in charge, there can be no doubt but that
it will prove to be a complete success.
