And somehow or other

And Ben, wal he

Who was wOrkin' below,
On the rlppin flames;
But 1t warn'tno go,
For at last he got out O. musce
And went down below in the sea,
And whatd Ben do?
Why he stood at his post
And tho pale as a ghost
He didn't remove,
Buthe called 10 his Pa
Which the same didn't hear,
Ez bein' so dead
Thet he couldn't appear.
And thar Ben stuck
With considerable pluck,
And the ship whent asunder
And blew all to thunder
And wal Hist'ry dontsay

For you might find ct hard
To get off from here whole,
And what came Of Ben?

And a good many year
He2 made 1t jestso,
Butwould you believe
That Ben was right here
And warn't lost at sea-
What?-Yes, shol Ben's me

A WATERSPOUT.
A New Mexico Town Flooded and Sixty.
Three Houses Destroyed.

New YORK, Oct. "A despatch from Las
Cruces, New Mexico. states that. at 5 80 p. m.
on the afternoon of Sept. 18th, a tremendous
waterspout Suddenly appeared in the hills about
one mile back of the town, and before the citi-
zens had time to comprehend the impending
calamity, it was upon them. The TALL dark
column composedlof water and dust approached
with such velocity that in less than ten min
utes from the time of its observance and before
$40 worth of personal property could be saved
by any one, SO houses had been buried to the
ground. The streets were soon covered to the
depth of four or five feet with water, and the
current was of such great strength that bould
ers of large size and corresponding weight were
carried away. Two hours later the rain fell in
torrents and continued several hours in all. In
all the wreck and ruin of fallen houses and
rushing water, strange to say, not single life
was lost. On Sunday the entire population
were out repairing the damages as much as
possible in order that the homeless might be
housed and cared for. The work was kept up
on Monday, and everybody began to look
cheerful, when at 4 o'clock another waterspout
made its appearance from the exact spot where
its predecessor was first noticed, and came on
with equal celebrity. Sixteen houses, fortunate
enough to escape the previous visitation, were
tumbled down and their contents destroyed
This second floor lasted three hours. The loss
is $3.50. 600.

Re.Opening of the Bank of California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. AT the appointed
hour the doors of the Bank of California swung
open amid the cheers of the crowd, which at
once made rush, blocking the space outside
the counters. Evidently by far the greater
portion of those present were there as lockers
on, though the service of the tellers were at
once called into requistion and the counters
were lined with those presenting checks. 1t
was expected that large ldemand would be
made upon the bank, not from want of conf
dence, but simply from the need of coin which
has been so long locked up. Flags are mast
headed on California street, and salute was
fred from Meigs wharf. Large amounts of
coin were deposited. 1t is thought the deposits
during the day equal or perhaps exceed the
bank remained open to-day an hour later than
usual Oh Saturday. During three hours the
amount of deposits received exceeded the
checks paid by about $750,000. Confidence
seems completely re-established.

Turkish Reforms.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, Oct. 3.-An imperial de-
cree is published ordering that the agricultural
population which peacefully followed their vo-
catlons, be exempted from fourth of the re-
Gently imposed tithes, and that they be relieved
from payment of arrears of taxes to the finan-
cial year 1873, 1874. The latter exemption is
not to apply to the well-to-do class who are
indebted to the treasury. The decree further
enacts that communities are to be represented
in an administrative council by persons chosen,
enjoying their confidence and the reasonable
demands of such representatives will be re-
ceived with attention. Deputations from the
annual general assemblies are authorized to
come to Constantinople to submit to the gov
eminent their wishes. The goverenmnt is to
decide which persons enjoying the respect OF
their respective communities shall be summon
ed from time to time to Constantinople.
The information from them will serve as
basis of reform. Special comptrollers are to be
appointed to ensure the apportionment and
collection of the taxes A system is already
under consideration to guarantee just treat
ment of the population by the conversion Of
Titles into ground tax The decree announces
mat the gradual realization of these reforms

Gen. Custar's Explanation of the Failnrc
of the BLACK Hills Trenty.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Gen. Gustav says the
failure of the recent Black Hills negotiations is
the result Of holding a council in the heart of
the Indian country, where the chiefs had the
squaw men, and the whites married to squaws
to advise them. These men are ANXIOUS to
make the payment as large as possible in order
squaws. They should have held the council at
some spot remote from Indian agencies, and
ordered the different tribes to consult among
themselves, and when they had arrived at a
decision send delegates to represent them at
the council. The chiefs would then have been
away from the squaw men, and in a position to
listen to reason. He says the Indians are too
much pampered and require different treat
ment. He does not anticipate any Indian
troubles until next spring, when the gass will
feed their ponies.

Seizure of the Cargo of the Uruguay.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The Spanish Min lister
at Washington, now in this city, has received
a cable despatch from the Spanish Consul at
Kingston, Jamaica, informing him that the
cargo of the steamship Uruguay, consisting of
arms and ammunition intended for the Cuban
insurgents, has been seized by the authorities
at that port.
spaniards Sick of the War and Anxious
for Peace.
WASHINGTON, Oct Authorization has been
received here from Havana showing that there
is great deal OF dissatisfaction and uneasi-
ness in Cuba among the wealthy SpaIards at
the prolopgation of the insurrection, by which
immense damage has resulted to all the mate
rial interests in the island, the injury being in
calculable. They have therefore, united in a
remonstrauce against hostile movements to
suppress the Instruction, believing that by a
wise policy peace may be reached between the
contendiDg parties without further bloodshed
Not succeeding 10 their efforts for conclia-
ton and relief in that direction, story comes
from sources which are said to be reliable, that
these wealthy Spaniards have directly or indi-
rectly proposed to the Cuban Junta at New
York to co operate with them in such measures
as effect an accommodation between thecontend-
ing parties, but the Junta declined their over
lures. declaring that the determination to con-
tinue the war until their object in commencing
it, namely, the independence of Cuba, shall
have been secured.
There is no means of ascertaining the entire
expense of this war on the part of Spain furth-
er than that $40,000,000 were expended for mil
itary services in one year, namely, 1870 and
1871 in Cuba, to say nothing of the fleet of gun
boats in Cuban waters. The same official
source show the aggregate force under arms
exceeded 100000 men, more thai half of whom
were regular troops ADD that the losses of the
army of Cuba exceeded $4,000 men The in
surgents at that time did not number more
than 5000 of all arms. 1t is in view of such
vast expenses without corresponding results
that eprominent Spaniards, both in Cuba and
Spain are anxious for cessation of hostilities,
but it is the opinion of gentlemen at Madrid,
as expressed in correspondence from Spain,
that the want of stability in the government
and the prevalence of civil war in Spain ex-
cude the consideration of the pacifcation of
Cuba.
