herzegovina pronounced, according
to Zell, Harts-e-go-vee'na) is an almost
independent province of the Ottoman
Empire. Along with other Danubian
Principalities owing certain vague al
legiance to Turkey, its normal state has
long been one of more or less pronounced
illsurrcction. Ever since the Turks in
the thirteenth century, says the CHaon-
icle, invaded southern Europe and sub
jugated the Christian population, the
latter have been restless under Mobam-
medan rule. The mountaineers of Mon
tenegro; the warlike Serviais, glorYing
in the fame OF Stephen Dushan, as the
Scotch of an earlier generation eloried
in the tame of Wallace and of Bruce;
the Herzegovins, witls4a population of
which more than eighty per cent. was
Christian, continually revolted against
a harsh and tanatical Mobammedan
rule.
The fact that partial instructions
growing ont of local discontents, unpop-
uIar inposts and troubles between the
Christian and the Mussulman popula-
ton have been frequent, and that the
Government of Stamboul has always
succeeded in suppressing them, has tend
ed to produce the impression thar the
uprising in Herzegovina is matter of
little significance. If we concede that
the Turks have the power to subdue
their rebellous dependencies in case the
latter are left to their anaided resources,
that admission does not warrant the
co clusion that the present uprising is q
mere epheneral demonstration of local
I discorteut, sure to be speedily sup
pressed as other local Instructions have
been On tie contrary, the present
| outbreak is liable to assume very Seri-
Gus magnitude. Only short time ago
Montenegro was III n state OF insurec-
ton. a Vienna dispatch of the date of
! August 18th says tI.at the rebellion i'll
! herzegovina is assuring alarming pro-
portions, aud that the Insurgents Lave
been Joined by the natives of Bosnia.
The people of all the. Dannbian Priuei-
palities appear to be ia perfect sympathy
with the rebels. But back of the recent
demonstrations lie certain facts of which
| l;tt e notice seems to have been taken
by those OF our contemporaries who have
undertaken to elucidate the situation.
Last year Austria, Russia and Germany
addressed joint note to the Ottoman
porte ihdorsilg the propriety OF COM
mercial treaty between AuStro-Hungary
and the Danubian Frincipalities. The
English Government entered protest
against any such negotiations from which
the Turkish Government should be ex-
Guided. Russia, Germany and Austria
support the right OF the Principalitles
to conclude commercial treaties without
the sanction of the Porte. The dis
patches show that the feeling which
has illuminated in rebellion, is by no
means confined to Herzegovina, bu: ex-
tends to servia, Montenegro, Bosnia
and Roumania. If lett to themselves,
without interference from Russia or
Austria, the people of these provinces
could probably defy the whole power OF
the Turkish Government; and there
now seems to be some reason for be-
iieving that neither of the great North
ern Powers will meddIe with the mat

River ReoeiHc, of the 18th instant, the
Pluto and Shoshone Indians of this sec
ton will commence to assemble at Mann
moth to gather the pinenut harvest. A
short time previous to the fipening of
the nuts-which grow in great profnsion
ON the hills in that vicinity-the In
dians gatl.er at Mammoth to the num-
ber OF upward of thousand. They go
from Austin, Belmont, Saltwater and
other places within a circuit of $50
miles. and have grand fandango, last
ing upwards of week, and when the
nuts are ripe the squaws gather and
roast them for Winter use. When the
harvest is over the Indians return to the
haunts Of civilization, where they live
comfortably through tho Winter on
pinenuts, kitchen refufe ard slaughter
house offal. Eltrails roasted IN the
ashes and bread made of crickets and
pinenuts mashed together form royal
feast for an Indian, and when seated in
his wickiup enjoying this sayory mess,

Ir,e --latest Thing in s.sicIdc.

There are various ways of committing
suicide, but perhaps the best is that
lately invented by one George Moore,
who lived near Midway, Kentucky.
Moore, tired of cruel fortune, concluded
to no longer fardels bear, but to termin-
ate it all by the introduction into his
system of a certain amount of strychuiie.
Accordingly, lie procured the poison
and swallowed it. III the manner of
the swallowing his improved method
tor suicides was illustrated. He didn't
take the villainous powder straight, as
men say of liquor, but rolled it UP
suldly III a piece of tissT,e-paper and
then swallowed the pellet, paper and
all. The Advantage of this method of
taking poison viii, be readily perceived;
it a lows the suicide time tor reflection.
In Moore's case the method worked adj
mirahly. i Two hours elapsed before the
deadly drug began to take effect, and
in that interval Moore came to the con-
clusion that he didn't want to die. lie
had little time to spare, bat lie employed
that time III rushing TO n doctor and
begging for q remedy. Tie doctor
acted promptly in the emergency, and
Moore was very nearly torn i'll pieces
by twenty horsepower emcties; but he
was saved. The new style Of taking
strychnine or any otlacr poison should
he generally adopted. We are always
doing things in too much Of a hurry

REMARKABLE SCENE IN A BEooKLYN
CEMETERY.

Captain Jacob johnson, a native OF
Denmark, who for many years CON-
manded a vessel that sailed bet veen
Havana and the different European
ports, settled down in Brooklyn, several
years ago, aid became an inmate in the
family of Mr.. w. III. Drew, 101, Park
Place The captain had no other in-
innate friends III this country: and from
frequent conversations with him on the
subject. Mr.. Drew judged that he either
had left none in his native country, or
that he wished to drop all communica-
tion with them. Last Saturday Capt.
johnson died. and on Monday afternoon
at 3 o'clock the funeral procession start
ed from Mr.. Drew's house for the cem-
etery of the Evergreens, Mr.. Drew and
mis- amily being the only mourners.
The few carriages had hardly started
bef re the rain began TO fall, and the
ride to the cemetery was through a
drenching shower, binding flashes OF
lightning and crashing thunder, adding
to the solemnity of the burial of the
stranger Dane.
When the cemetery was reached, the
rain was pouring down in torrents, and
the little procession halted before cem-
etery office to wait for lall in the
storm. The hearse was the first vehicle,
the carriage containing Mr.. Drew and
his family was rext, ard four or five
other carriages were behind. Every
flash of the lightning seemed to strike
OH the hill, anc the roar and crash of
the thunder was deafening. A loud re-
port frightened the horses attached to
the hearse, and they began to rear and
plunge. The horses of the first carriage
also were frightened, and it was all the
cnpants of the carriages were terribly
frightened, and began to get out as fast
as they could. DIR. Drew's carriage
was soon emptied of all but Mr.. Drew's
daughter, young lady who was just
about to alight, when two balls of fire,
seemingly two feet in diameter, dropped
Just in front OF the horses heads, and
burst with report like cannon. At
the same minute there was a binding
flash Of lightning, followed instantane-
ously by crash of thunder that made
the cemetery hill tremble. The horses
attached to Mr.. Drew's carriage sprang
forward, running the pole through the
back of the hearse and throwing the
coffin of the dead captain from its
mountings. They began to plunge,
and the front of the carriage was dashed
against the hearse and badly shattered.
Miss Drew, who sat on the inside front
seat, was thrown out and severely
bruised. The driver could not control
the horses, and they started to run
dragging tie remains of the carriage up
the main avenue of the cemetery, and
going nearly g. mlle before they could
be stopped. The driver was also
thrown from his seat and slightly in
iurcd. The same shock that frightened
Mr.. Drew's horses struck one Of the
horses attached to the next carriage,
and knocked him down, but did not
injure him.
After waiting for nearly an hour In
the office the storm abated, and the pro-
cession started again for the grave.
With the usual ceremonies, the coffin
was lowered into It's water-soaked rest
ing place, and Captain Johnson's faith.

this covering was found to be ON frs'
and was burned, one OF the lamps above
being broken by the heat. All ordinary
theories Of the causes Of fire failed to
account for this one, and it was discov-
cred that the globular lamps Of the gate
concentrated the solar rays and directed
them on the spot where the canvas had
been, and thus doubtless occasioned the
fire.
DIR. Bernays. Professor Of Chemistry
in ST. 1'homas's Hospital, London, sug-
gests that by proper application Of
earth, humation might be made IS safe
as cremation. Instead of cremating the
body, he would cremate the earth, and
render it, by increased porosity, the best
material for slowly, butsurely and safely,
oxidizing the body. Thus al6nd dpmld
the clay soils of many of our cemeteries
be made properly available Cor bufisal
without such burning Of the soil acme
of our cemeteries ought not to be used. s
DIR. Bernays suggests cofins OF perfo-
rated iron plate, with lids Of the same
material. These should be covered s0'
the depth of one foot with charcoal, and
completely filed in with well-burut
clay. By such method advantage
would he taken of one of the most vaiu-
able properties of burnt clay-the power
of absorbing and oxidizir g injurious hy-
drogenous compounds and promoting
decomposition. One great advantage
OF cofins Of sheet iron thus perforated
would be the rapid oxidation of the re-
ceptacle OF the body, which, BY the color
OF the oxide. would render all the drain
age water frcrn a cemetery visible for
some distance from its source, and thus
give the necessary indications OF impu-
rity.
Ia an essay read before the London
Physical Society lately, MIR. Whitehouse
described some experiments he had made
"On the Electric Conductivity Of Glass;
He employed pieces of thermometer
tube about an inch in length, into the
bore of which two platinum wires were
inserted IN snch manner that there was
an interval between the points. In
some cases one wire Of platinum occu-
pied the entire bore of the tnbe, and
this tube was surrounded on its external
surface by a helix Of wire OF the same
metal. In each case the Grraheement
was introduced into eircuit ID which
were also placed q Thomson galvanom-
eter and a set OF resistance coils. Il was
shown that at the ordinary temperature
there was no DETECTION, but that the
current passed freely when the glass was
heated to redness. The difficulty Of
making contact with the giaas led Mr..
Whitehouse to use two test tubes, one
inside the other, both containing mer-
curry, with which wires of platinum
freely communicated. The flame Of a.
Bum en- burner was applied to the outer
test tube, and the temperature Of the:
metal noted by the i'll oil d therrnon-
eter. In one series of experiments the
diameter of the internal tnbe was OF
an inch, the length in contact with the
mercury about 81 inches, and the thick.
ness OF the glass 1-1O0 of an inch. A
current was first observed TO pass ae
