Credit MobiIier-SIatemen of Capt.
John n. Drew.

The story of the Credit Mobilier investi-
CATION is revived by very remarkable
statement made by Capt. John Il. Drew,
of Washington, who is now stopping at
Burlington. Capt. Drew claims to have
been present when the famous check to
as. G. or bearer" was paid in the office of
the Sergcant-at-Arnis of the House June
22d, 1868, and he states that the check was
presented by Oakcs Amcs, who received
the money therefor. Mr.. Drew says that
in the summer of 1868 he was engaged in
some matters before Congress which re-
Quircd the assistance of Massachusetts
people. On the day of the payment of the
check, June %, 1868, Drew called upon
Ames at the Capitol and was by Ames
taken to the Office of the Scrgeant-at-A
There Drew distinctly saw the face of the
check with the words, rs. G. or bearer,
Cakes Ames,' thereon. Ames held the
check. Drew saw that the uppermost bill
was of the denomination of $500, and one
of the other bills was 800. This money
Ames subsequently gave to gentleman in
the lobby, then unknown to Drew, with
whom Ames engaged in conversation con-
corning some New Orleans cotton cases.
The date he fixes by his papers and men,
orandum book, in which is entered the
business for which he called upon him on
that day
Drews statement regarding the denom-
ination of the bills is substantially the same
as the evidence of Mr. Dillon, the cashier
who paid the money. Mr.. Drew has been
absent in Europe for nearly year in the
revenue service of the government, and
had "A very inadequate comprehension of
the political affairs of the United States
last winter, as he spent much of his time
in travel. Drew returned to this country
after the investigation closed, and has not
permitted this statement to be maj
public until now.
The dispatches say that Capt. Drew Is
well-known in Vermont, which we think
is fact. We leave our readers to their
own conclusions in this matter.

THE sHAH,s CONTRACT.

At first glance it would seem that the
bargain Of Baron Reuter-, of London, with
the Shah of Persia, was very sharp one
on the part of the Baron. 1t may be sharp
enough for the Shah, too. He has been
receiving million dollars per annum from
his custom houses The Baron rents these
custom houses for twenty five years, ut
~, 100, 900 per annum That is Il decided
gain of 500, 900 year to the Shah.
Persia has no railroads, and it is not
likely that her people would ever build any
without the aid of Western enterprise.
Baron Reuter- is to construct line four
hundred miles in length, assuming all the
risk involved in the fact that eastern rail
roads are seldom If ever profitable. Per-
STA has great advantage there.
With this contract which is to last sew
enty years, the Baron obtains for himself
and successors the exclusive right to con-
struet other railroads to make canals, to
work mines, and to establish other enter
prises In Persia. In the exercise of these
rights he can take government lands, stone
from government quarries, and gravel from
government gravel pits, free of charge.
His men and materials are not to be taxed
Any mineral deposit except gold and silver
and precious stones, can bc worked by him
without cost. During the existence of this
contract, he agrees to pay the Shah of Per-
sia fifteen to twenty per cent. of his net
earnings.
Though the resources of Persia are placed
in the hands of a foreigner, that kingdom
would reap an enormous advantage if upon
the expiration of the agreement the I'M
provements passed into the hands of the
government and people. 1t would in eff
feet be the importation of western civili-
cation by contract. But there is provi-
sion by which the Baron is to have the
right to purchase mining lands at the value
of the land for ordinary purposes. This
clause in the bargain is bound to occasion
trouble ten or fifty years hence, in the
event of the discovery of new mines after
development and the establishment of
manufactures shall have shown the Per-
SLAMS that there are minerals more to be
depended on as permanent sources of
wealth than gold silver or precious stones.

FIRES.

Boston is bestowing great deal of at
tention on the subject OF fires. A commit
tee of the city council has been consider
ing the best methods of preventing fires,
and whether the city had better launch in
to the business of insurance. The views
of committee of the National Board of
Underwriters were also heard.
Mr.. Jonas Fitch, who had been on the
committee on fire department two years in
the Board of Aldermen, favored perma-'
nent Board of Management. This commits
sion should have head with a liberal sal
airy.
Mr.. ID. A. Head, ice-president of the
Home Insurance company of New York,
urged the appointment of commission,
and said the Boston people erected struc-
lures exposed to fire because they paid bet
ter. The rates of premium are five, six and
ten times higher in that city than in Milan
or Florence. The Boston Journals report
does not explain Mr.. Heads purpose in
going so far away for an illustration but
perhaps 1t IL for a reason that will ever
lastingly exclude Boston and every other
American city from fathoming the depths
of low premiums in those old cities, and
that reason is their entirely safe styles of
building. The streets in Florence are mar
row, and houses tall, but constructed
of stone with very thick walls, while
indestructible material is used inside to
such an extent that burning is next to im-
possible. You cannot very well set marble
floors and iron rafters ON fire.
Mr.. George T. Hope, president of the
Continental company, said the first fire
engine in the city of New York was paid
for by the underwriters, and they intro
duced the paid fire department into that
city. Under the volunteer system the fire
department of New York cost three quar-
tiers of million. Under the paid system
they had from five to six hundred men
whom they paid $1,000 each, under the
commissioners, and the cost was now
about 5000, 900 per annum.
This matter Is of no particular benefit
to denizens of places too small TO have a
paid fire department, and after noticing as
matter of general interest that the ex-
penses of the coming year for the New
York fire department were estimated by
another insurance man at 81 1854 900, we
proceed to mention some experiments that
cannot fail to interest all parts of the coun-
try. Hon. Edward s. Tobey. of Boston,
has patented an invention which seems Ia
he an improvement on a certain San Fran
cisco mans device. This ingenious West
ern person built the parspet of his dat roof
soft could be readily made TO hold water
and had force pump and pipe prepared
When conaagration came be pumped
water on his roof, where 1t stool
to the depth of several inches, effectini
the salvation of his house while others IL

Few persons except students of Veget-
able Physiology consider the intimate re-
lation between plant life and animal life.
This dependence extends from the simplest
species of animal life to the most complex
Every animal is an organized collection
of organic cells.
Organic substances must first be made
from the inorganic elements of our world,
such as the gases of the air. water, earthly
matter, ETC., and the combination and ar
rangement must I've made under the
troll of vital force. II is evident that ami
mails cannot elaborate their substance from
any animal matter
Neither man nor beast can grow or long
survive upon air, water, and earthly COM
pounds alone. There must be some labor
atory where the change can be effected.
Such chemical laboratory is provided in
the growing plant, particularly in the leaf.
Every garden and field is filled with plants
that supply fruits for man and grass and
fruits for beast.
Wonderful and mysterious is the pro-
cess by which plants collect, in fluid
form called crude sap, moisture from the
air and soil, and with this moisture some
earthly matter, and then change these inert
particles into organic and living forms.
In accordance with the laws of tcrres-
trial life, animal life could not subsist be-
fore plants were created and We are not
surprised to learn that plants were first
called into existence.
All our food consists of roots, fruits,
grains, and animal tissue; and the animal
tissue was first made from vegetable pro-
ducts. Plants then are the connecting link
between those organizations which are the
abodes of mind and the inert elements be-
meath our feet. From the dust on which
we tread and the offensive substances that
we loathe, plants elaborate our noursh-
mcnt and choicest viands. They are our
patient drudges, working that we may live.
In the language of another we learn,
"Not only that the leaves and flowers arc
distilled from the crystal medium in which
they dwell, but that they are tissues woven
in the loom of the Universe-their warp
the subtest others of earth, their welt the
radiatons of the stars not only that the
leaf is the crucible of vitality, whose mys-
FERROUS alchemy is interposed between our
! selves and death, but that it is the won
drous mechanism appointed to receive and
and gather the life forces which God is
perpetually pouring through the Universe.
In the next article we shall consider how
that plants contribute more indirectly to
| life and comfort.

The Isccapturc of wagner,

Wagner seemed to be quite merry EVER
his capture, and on his return to Aired
broke into Il laugh as he sighted the Jail
and sarcastically remarked, "That Il
strong place." His own account of Til, es-
cape is very similar to the theories fomcd
of it, He had barely got through the ,cut-
tic upon the roof bcfor the Waterman toni
mcrced their guard over his cunningly de-
vised dummy. After getting free he walk
cd the railway track to Springvale There
the other two escaped prisoners left him,
and he went to East Rochester He Law
in the road nights, not daring to 90 into
the woods for fear of wild animals, and
on one occasion hc came near lping
run over by n team. According to h &C.
account the farmers who arrested him we're
Il cowardly set. One of them raised a )ole
and was about to strike him as if he were a
wild animal but his willing surrender pre-
vented it. He says he only went out to ex-
ercise his limbs, and to see if he couldn't
find somc-of the. pretty girls who ilirted
with him at the trial, but that he meant to
have got back any way, this week. Wag-
ner is suspected Of another murder besides
that on the Isles of Shoals. Three years
since Louis Ludwick, u sailor companion
of his who had quite sum of money in a
Boston savings bank, was persuaded
by Wagner to take his bank book
with him to sea. When the vessel
returned to Boston, Ludwick was missing,
and Wagner, who had possession of his
clothes and bank book, accounted for it by
saying that he had fallen overheard in a
storm and been drowned. Afterward he
tried to draw his companions money, but
failed. The shirt with the small wristbands,
which was feature of the trial and
which seemed at first favorable bit of evil
dence for the accused man, has been iden-
titled by Mrs. Brown, former boarding
house mistress of the two sailors at Boston,
as having been made by her for LudwiclS,
and she is stoutly of the opinion that Lud-
wick met with foul play at Wagncr's hands
for the sake of his money.

So-called spiritual" phenomena are
undergoing tacit attack In London in the
performance ola certain Herr Dobler. Ills
person does exactly the very same things
which the Davenport Brothers did, bit
without claiming the assistance of any
supernatural agency. His audience sits n
darkness for about two minutes while lie
binds himself hand and foot to char.
The rope is then examined, and appeas
quite fast, the knot being between his hanis
and seemingly so tight as to render it in
possible to withdraw them. The light
again extinguished, hcis guarded upon tie
platform by two well-known members #
the audience, and suddenly tamborire
flies about the room and a bell is RUM.
Other things Herr Dobler does which sh oy
that with hands and legs tightly tied, 10
can do more than most people can accom-
plish with hands at liberty. lie borrows
coat from a spectator, puts 1t beside hin
on the table, the light goes out, is instantly
rekindled, and the coat is on his back, his
hands tied as before; in another dark mo
ment it is off and thrown to the lender. The
lights are extinguished his hands tied and
filed with -four, and in two minutes they
are found united with the flour still re-
naming in them. He acknowledges tina
this is all mere slight of hand.

SuICIDE.-As the Cakes Ames was near
ing the Wharf at Plattsburgh, Friday, n
man was seen to rush down to the extreme
edge of the dock and plunge into the water.
There were many people near, as the Wa
liams had just landed an excursion party,
and great excitement prevailed. Boas
were hastily pushed out, but did not rea,h
the spot till after he had sank for the last
time. His body was subsequently recH-
cred. The man was stranger in Platt-
burgh, but it is thought his name was
Clark, and that he came from Port Henry
or that neighborhood. 1t was undoubtedly
a case of suicide Dclirium tremens and
religious insanity are both assigned as tie
cause, but nothing certain is yet known
about it.

in England, suggested an invention
novel and striking, though not necessarily
involving an impossibility. He opposed
the purchase of railroads by the govern

prove losing investment if something
should be found to supersede them as they
