The case Of Louisiana might still be con-
sidered in another light. ....
The Government OF Louisiana was upset BY
q revolution; Il Governor and all the officers
of State were expelled; their places supplied
Immediately by others apparently elected; the
Governor was absent or cOnstruchvely so,
because he was hidden in the Custom-House
in United States territory; there was then but
one Governor in Louisiana, and that was Mo-
Emery, apparently elected, and actually IN
Office; there were not two Governors, between
whom the President had the implied right to
decide; all that he had to do was simply to
ignore Kellogg and this he might have done
without great violence to his conscience with
the legal evidence upon record IN the con-
sressional proceedings.
Could it be commended that the President
had no option in tho matter Of deciding be-
tween Kellogg and McEnery because there
was q judgment of court in favor OF Kellogg Z
He had to take that into consideration in
making mp his opinion. Well, it is be-
believed that the court had no jurisdlc-
ton; if the judgment of the court had
decided detinitively between Kellogg and Nc
Emery, why did the President refer the matter
to Congress?
But, admitting that Kellogg was not functus
9thcio by the effect of the revolution, then
there was precisely the same case before the
resident that there was the first time-twO
Governors. If, since that time, there has
come conclusive evidence that he made an err
for IN recognizing Kellogg, his decision should
nave been different in the second case; and 1t
mas been shown that the reversal of his first
decision, and q Lew decision by which Nc
Lnefy would have been recognized, would not

The Greatest Thief on Record.

An arrest of more than usual i'm
portance was made yesterday afternoon
by DetectiTo Tyrrell. Complaints have
been cutie numerously lodged at de-
tective headquarters OF late from num-
ber of newspaper publishing firms, who
have suddenly discovered that their
entire subscription lists were missing.
The inexplicable disappearance of their
subscription books has involved several
of the publishing companies IN serious
loss, and has occasioned much delay IN
forwarding the paper mails. New lists
had to be made out from data in the
office, which was not at all times COM
pIete, and this species of peculation
has thrown branch of the newspaper
business in several offices into mex
tricable confusion, and sorely tested
the patience of many thousands of sub
scribers who have waited IN vain for the
coming of their weekly mental pabu-
lum.
Nearly aweek ago the case was placed
in the hands of Detective Tyrrell, and
yesterday afternoon G. Fl. Bruton was
landed in the Central Station lookup,
where he Is now pondering on the un-
certain fortunes that are likely to be-
fall the man who steals subscription
lists.
lG Is evident 1GOn large aLnOu1G u
Bruton's correspondence which was
aptured that he has found the business
profitable one. The lists which he
has succeeded in stealing embrace the
names of many thousands of bona tide
residents, scattered all over the West
ern States. His practice has been to
make as many duplicates of the lists as
there were demands for them. He has
found bis customers for the most part
in New York city, among the vendors
i'll quack medicines, counterfeit money,
and the propagators of every variety of
swindling lodges. The lists are, of
course, invaluable to this class of per-
sons, who are thus enabled to spread
their swindling circulars among the un-
sophisticated country people, whose ad-
dresses they can obtain So easily in no
other way. Bruton's lists, therefore, have
been in great demand, and he has driven
thriving trade supplying duplicates to
all parties applying, at the rate of 500
to 5000 per list, according to the mum
ber of names it contained. = Chicago

How Little 1t Costs to Take an Ocean
Voyage.

A remarkable instance of the extent
to which competition may be
carried may be found in the
the wonderfully reduced rates of trans
atlantic passage at the present time.
A steerage passage to Europe may be
obtained at as low as SO, while the
average prices are from $12 to $125.
During the past summer many Irish and
English emigrants have gone back to
their native land to visit friends and
relatives, and they are now beginning
to return-700 having arrived at Castle
Garden one day last month. The cheap
ness of the fare renders the European
trip really little more than pleasure
excursion. The food consists of boiled
beef and pork, salt fish, hot bread,
crackers, rice and barley soup, pota-
toes, hard ships biscuit, porridge, mo-
lasses, and poor grade of coffee. The
passengers have to provide their own
plates and table cutlery. They also
provide their own beds and blankets.
A 'skit " consists of a set of tin dishes,
and straw bed can be bought of venders
on the wharfs from So. SO to $3. These,
especially the beds, are usually thrown
away at the end of the voyage. Water
has to be obtained on deck, and it is
generally much less plentiful than food.
There are generally a number of musical
instruments and many musicians. On
the voyage they amuse themselves with
music, songs and dancing. Every day
those who arr able to do SO are required
to go on deck to get the fresh air. Now,
that this era of cheap fares TO Europe
has been inaugurated in one portion OF
the ship, it is morally certain that,
sooner or later, it must come IN the
other. To be sure, it does not cost Sc
much to carry the steerage as it does tc
carry cabin passengers; but, with con
tinually increasing competition, it is
very certain that reduction must come
in the higher class of fares. and the
profits of steamship companies be great
ly cut down. The man who, twenty
years ago, would have spoken of going
to Europe for $40 would have beer
hooted at. That has come to pass, and
it cannot be long, with the fierce rivalry
now waging, that even greater wonders
may be looked for.

Wood.sawing by a White-Hot Wire,

The Abbe Moigno, in a recent num-
Der of his periodical, entitled Les
Mondes, describes an invention, which,
he says, has recently been patented by
Mr.. Robinson, of New York, for saving
wood by an entirely new, and which
seems sufficiently odd, process. Since
it originated here it ought to be no new
novelty to our readers but since it is
such to us we give it the benefit of this
notice. The process consists in substi-
tuting instead of the saw platinum
wire, heated white-hot by means of an
electric current. The wire receives the
same reciprocating motion which is
commonly given to the saw, and thus
burns its way through the wood. It is
practicable, according to the inventor,
not only to cut logs, planks or heavier
forms of lumber by this means, but also
to give curvature to the cut, and to pro-
duce fantastic forms of every descrip-
tion, since the saw, being without
breadth, adapts itself to such purposes
better even than the band or ribbon
saws. Inasmuch as the wire burns its
way instead of cutting, it leaves the
surface of the wood charred; but this
is an effect entirely superficial, and oc-
casions no injury to the material. II
would seem as il, however, there was ar
important question of economy here tc
be settled, and we shall wait before
pronouncing an opinion on this applica
tion of science until we hear from il

Hide Hunters.

It is estimated that the "hide hunt
ers of Kansas, Texas, Colorado, and
Southern Nebraska kill $4,000 buffalo
each year for the skins alone that the
Indians kill three times that number,
and that perhaps 10, 900 more are killed
by sportsmen and those pioneers who
depend on the buffalo for their winter
meat thus we have the enormous fig
ure of 210,00 as the annual slaughter.
But this even will not represent the
grand total, for many calves are cap
tured to be sold to menageries, muse
ums and private gentlemen who desire
such pets. I cannot approach sum-
mary of the latter, but think that from
5000 to 10000 would be an approx
mate estimate, though low one. ]
have known instances where hundred
of these creatures we're caught in day
by being run down, and not more than
one-tenth were alive the next, for,
though apparently strong, they cannot
endure much hardship. By giving the
figures in round numbers we may esti-
mate that quarter of q million bison
are destroyed yearly and that, I think,
will not be far from the exact number.
At this rate of destruction they cannot
last long, so the present generation will
probably witness the decimation of the
animal most characteristic of the fauna
of North America-one with which the
history of our plains, pioneers an6
trappers is most closely blended.

A Doubtful Point.

A Western paper is responsible for
the details of chapter of accidents
which had it's origin in the most COM
monplace occurrence. A dog rounding
the corner from an alley, and closely fol-
lowed by brick, came in contact with
the feet of an old woman who was car
rying a Jug of molasses in one hand and
basket of eggs in the other. The old
lady sat violently down into the basket
of eggs, and smashed the Jug of molas-
ses on the pavement, bringing down
upon herself by the cleverely executed
maneuver the full weight Of young
gentleman who was running to catch hls
train. Continuing his fight, the dog
ran against the legs of team of horses
attached to load of potatoes. The
horses becoming frightened, bolted,
and, the tail-board of the wagon falling
out, they unloaded the potatoes along
the streets as they went. Crossing the
railroad track, the wagon displaced one
of the rails; freight train, coming
along directly afterward, was thrown
from the track, smashing some of the
cars and killing thirty or forty hogs
Continuing their course, the horses. on

A stratagem ON the scafroId.

A Paris correspondent relates the fol-
lowing story about the great-grand-
mother of the Polish Prince Lubomirs-
ki, s'who writes SO cleverly and chatters
SO incesSantly:'' ttThis unfortunate
Princess remained in Paris during the
Reign of Terror, imagining that her
foreign nationality would save her from
the guillotine. The unhappy lady, who
was very beautiful, made a mistake.
She had been the intimate friend of
Princess Lamballe, and was arrested on
q groundless suspicion of being in cor
respondenee with the Austrian govern
ment, and hurried off to execution on
the day following that which saw
Madame Roland perish. Princess Luz
bomirska had one little daughter which
she wished to embrace before she died.
A faithful nurse brought the child in
her arms, and, at the risk of her own
life, to the very foot of the scaffold.
The wretched mother, wishing thai her
little one should be recognized in after
years by the Lubomirski family, and
not being allowed to write to them, inn
agined the following means of identify
ing her orphan daughter. Stooping
down she dipped her finger in the blood
of victim who had just perished and
wrote these words in big letters on a
scrap of her linen, The child with the
letters L. B. scratched on its arm is my
daughter, Princess Lubomirski.' Then
taking pin she scratched the initials
on the arm of her child, embraced it,
and few moments afterwards laid her
head under the knife. The nurse, when
the Reign of Terror was over, took the
child to Poland, where, being recog-
nized by her mothers family, in the
course of years she married her cousin,
Prince Ladislas lubomirski. The
present Prince has often seen the initial
scar on his grandmother's arm. The
old lady died only few years ago"
