Loss of Life from Flood, Fire, Etc.

The loss of human life from food,
fire, earthquake, ETC., during the past
six months has been very great. The
following shows the loss, so far as the
facts and figures have been published
By flood, in Toulouse, France, 215 (and
probably more, these figures represent
ing only the bodies found; from
measles in the Fiji islands, $4,000; by
the overflow in the Danube, in Pesth,
600; from earthquakes, in New Grena-
da, 10000; Asia Minor, 2,000 in the
Loyalty islands, where the earthquake
was accompanied by terrible tidal
wave, 1000; at San Cnstobal, Mexico,
70; from famine in Asia Minor, 10000 /;
from marine disasters, by the loss of the
Schiller, in the Scilly islands, $50; the
Gottenburg, off the Australian coast,
1866; the Cadiz, 81; the Flu Sing, Chi
nese steamer, 80; the American ship vi
oletta, 40; the Vicksburg, collision
with icebergs, 40; the Thornabia, 30 ;
the Cortes, 26; the George Batters, q ;
the Bride, Berar, Berlin (Japanese), and
the Alice, 20 each and the Lochnagar,
Is. There have been other severe dis
asters on the South American, Chinese,
and English coasts which involved Sc
rious loss Of life, but it is impossible to
estimate them, as the telegraph fur
nishes no record. From tornadoes and
hurricanes the loss of life has been as
follows: In Hong Kong, 500; Georgia,
BIZ; Chill, 60; Louisiana, 20; France,
IL Missouri, 6; Mississippi, II Ar
kansas, 5; Michigan, 3; Wisconsin, 8

been reported, by which 304 lives have
been sacrificed. Only three of these
have been accompanied by heavy loss
of life, being the burning of mattel
factory at Gottenbrug, Sweden, so
steamers at New Orleans, rs; and the
recent Holyoke MASS. church disaster

have killed 207 people. Total, 7S,S12 il

Boreman, who is presiding over the
present trial, is another unfinching de-
fender of American law, but should the
case reach the supreme court the other
two judges viz: David Z P. Lowe
and Philip Emerson both under the
control of the Mormon church, appointed
by President Grant under influence
brought TO bear by the polygainous dele
gate apostle George @. Cannon and Uni
ted States Senator Sargent, of Cali
fornia, who is the champion of Brigham
Young at Washingtonss United States
Marshal Maxwell isanother law-abiding
man, who is determined to enforce law
and promote Justice or diey But the
painful fact is only too true that no Nor
mon has ever yet been punished under
the laws of the United States. Mrs. No.

mon jury should ever faithfully try a
Mormon prisoner. In the endowment
house every Mormon is made to take a
secret and seditious oath, one clause OF
which binds him to bear eternal hostility
to the government of the United States
and to avenge the murder of theprophet,

An Illinois Vendetta.

Another victim has been added to the
already long list of those who have fallen
in what is now widely known in Illinois
as the Williamson county vendetta. +"
Captain Geo. W. Sisney is, we believe,
the eighth who has perished in conse-
,quence of the protracted quarrel of the
Russells and the Bulliners, which has
kept Williamson county IN fermentfo
years. An attempt was made to assassi-
nato Mr.. Sisney as early as 1869, when
he was set upon by the family of Bull
ners and severely wounded, but recov-
cred. He had no direct connection with
the Russell-Bulliner quarrel, but had in
Cured the displeasure of the Bulliners
in consequence of lawsuit in which
they were defeated. Some time last
year second attempt was made to as.
sassinate him by shooting from ambush,
but the guns in the hands of the would
be assassins failed to go off, and he es-
capped, but recognized one of his assail
ants as he ran away. This individual,
whose name was eagle, was indicted for
the crime, and we do not know that the
case was ever tried, the enforcement of
the law in Williamson county being very
lax. Some months after-that is to say
last fall-another and more successful
attack was made on Sisney, he being
shot by some one from the outside as he
sat in his house near window in the
evening. At that time he was severely
wounded, and after recovering he rent
ed his farm and removed to Carbondale
for the sake of greater security. The
result shows that he has at last fallen q
victim to the bloodthirsty vengeance of
his enemies under circumstances almost
precisely similar to those which came
near proving fatal last fall. Mr.. Sisney
was native of Williamson county, and
was captain in an Illinois regiment
during the war, and last year was the
Republican candidate for sheriff in vii
Hanson county. Both he and DIR.
Hinchcliffe-the latter being the lastvic
tim before Mr.. Sisney-were universally
respected,

English View of the Centennial.

The London Times, commenting upon
the Centennial exhibition in Philadel-
phia, gives us fair idea of the view en-
tertained by foreign nations of this great
work. The London Times commends
the exhibition warmly, and at the same
time urges upon the American people
the erection of high standard by which
to measure the character of the objects
exhibited. The Times has noticed in
recent exhibitions "an increasing ten
dency to turn the building into place
for the common vulgar advertisement OF
tradesmen's goods, without the slightest
regard to what is supposed to be fur
thered by an exhlbition-scientific I'M
provement, artistic excellence, ingenuity
of process or the like" Where trades
man is allowed to make show OF his
wares of /" ordinary goods, which you
may see in twenty shops in Oxford
street, without single new idea sug'
gested by them, the public feels that
there must be an element of charlatanism
and jobbery in the nature of these dis
plays, and is repelled accordingly. The
Times trusts that the Americans will do
something to remedy this evil, and 1t
thinks that they can do much toward re-
newing "the usefulness and popularity
OF the industrial exhibitions by making
selection from the mass of merchandise,
good, bad and indifferent, that will be sent
to them by Contemplating firms" We are
glad to find, says the New York Herald,
an authority, representative in its char
acter like the Times, so judicious and
chary in its Communications, taking a
deep interest in our Centennial exhlbi-
tion. We count largely upon the warm
support of England in this display, be-
cause, while we celebrate in 1876 the
foundation of the republic OF the
United States, we celebrate in no less q
degree the greatness of that mighty ma
ton from which we came and In whose
relationship we feel an honest Anglo
Saxon pride. .a. o

A Female Traveller.

British manners and customs ever
prove fertile source of amusement to
Gallo critics, and French contempo-
rary has now been chatting what he calls
the English g sixth sense the bump of
travelling. He maintains, however, that
they do not travel always for the love of
the thing, and tells the following story
as proof: Twenty years ago Liver
pool steamer packet company wanted to
extend its premises, and resolved to buy
a piece of land belonging to maiden
lady of can uncertain age." The spin
ster sold her land at very low price,
and rs set-off requested that clause
should be put in the agreement to the
effect that during her whole life she and
a companion should at any time travel
free in the company's vessels. The day
after the agreement was signed she sold
her furniture, let her house, and went
on board the first outward bound vessel
belonging to the company, without
troubling herself about the destination.
Since then the lady has always lived on
one ship or other, accompanied by some
lady traveller for whom she advertises,
and whose passage-money she pockets.
She is reckoned to have made over ten
thousand dollars by the transaction, and
the company have offered her upward OF
this sum for her privilege, but cannot
get quit of her at any price.

The Story of a RObber Chief.

When in Albania Olive Harper went
to visit robber chief, dined with him,
and tells the story as follows: After the
meal was concluded, Vasile Carabas rose
to go, and making low bow to me, and
taking fold on my linen travelling dress
and pressing it to his lips, he begged
would not think quite SO hardly of him
as others did, and he begged me to ac-
cept, as a slight token of his pleasure in
having seen me, beautiful diamond
ring. Isomehow could not make up my
mind to do so (or perhaps required a
little more urging), and so 1 coupled my
refusal with request for one of the sill
yer buttons he had on his jacket. He
cut it off and gave it tome with apleased
smile, and, with the other hand, threw
the ring away as far as he could. l will
confess that was Just a little sorry L
hadn't taken it, for it is pity to waste
diamonds like tears. ...-. .....
We were soon on our way again, and
it was dark. The old captain told me
the history of the robber chief. Some
years ago he had position in society as
the only son of wealthy and respectable
father, and was himself respected as a
young man of courage and intellect.
He had one sister, lovely young girl of
fourteen and half years. A certain
man of high position in Athens stole the
maiden and kept her hidden from her
people for two weeks. Vasile loved this
sister tenderly, and he searched for her
far and wide, and at last succeeded in
finding her in the retreat in which this
man had confined her, and on learning
the story of outrage and disgrace, he
became almost beside himself with rage
against the cowardly villain who had
perpetrated it, and swore vengeance
against him to the death. He embraced
his sister tenderly, and said "My sis
ter is dishonored, and my sister dis
honored must die, that the fruit of that
dread disgrace may not rest forever q
reproach to all of her kin, and with
these words he plunged his knife in her
heart. That same day saw the death of
the wretch who had caused this sorrow
and death, and as the man was of high
position the story was hushed as much
as possible. The young man threw him
self upon the mercy of the government,
relating the story and what he had done
and demanding justice-that he should
be acquitted of crime in what he had
done. But, instead of that, the utmost
/ rigor of the law was enforced, and he
was placed in prison, from whence, by
, the aid of two trusty friends, he escaped
and took to the mountains, after one
years imprisonment

Startling Adventure of a Child.

A windmill is a very pretty pictur
esque object sitting upon high bluff,
with it's figure outlined against the sky
tanning itself on.a warm evening. The
further off it is within the range of vision
the prettier. George Wells, wealthy
citizen of Monona county, Iowa, lives
next door to a very high windmill. Mrs.
Wells has little eight-year old daugh-
ter, whose curiositythe monster wind
mill excited. She wanted to get the
nearest possible view of it, so she climb
ed and climbed, and never thought how
far above the ground she was getting.
That evening, when her father came
home from q journey to a neighboring
town, hislittle pet daughter did not run
out to the gate,to meet him as usual,
and at this he wondered. 81, He, feared
something must be the matter. with her,
but was not left long in doubt, for lit
tie musical voice which he well knew
came to him from afar, and it seemed
from on high. 1t was as if an angel had
spoken, and the father was almost afraid
to look up lest he should see his darling
daughter floating away from him on an
gelic wings. But he did look in the di-
rection of the sound, and, to his con-
sternation, beheld his little girl away up
on the other side of the windmill,
standing on ladder just under the
vanes, and evidently at some loss how to
get down. The top of the ladder look
ed not much wider than the tines of q
table fork, and a slip would have occa.
stoned her a fall of one hundred and
twelve feet to the ground. The huge
vanes were revolving rapidly enough tc
make one dizzy, just above her tiny
head. The father summoned all his
presence of mind and treated the situa
ton lightly. He shouted to his child
bravo" to give her confidence. A
CHEEKY little "hlGrah " came down from
above. The father then shouted
"Nellie, haven'tyou got it about fixed2'
"Oh, yes, papa" came floating from tn,
dizzy height. "Well, then, come down
DEAR" The child commenced the de
scent. 1t was critical moment. A few
rods of the ladder made would give he,
confidence. The father stood breathles
as nearly under his child as he coulc
get, thinking that he might save her i

She made it in safety, and acknowledged
she was just little bit scared away VI
there toward heaven, and nobody nea

mill again, and especially not to max
herself little tomboy by climbing lad

A Check that Can't be Forged.

A gentleman deposited a package in
the safe this morning, says Long
Branch hotel correspondent, and asked
for a check for it. Our affable and
obliging clerk gave him check which
he himself invented and put in. vogue at
Saratoga fifteen years ago. Hastily
writing the gentleman's name on a
square of paper, the clerk as hastily tore
it in two. He gave the gentleman one
part and pinned the other part to the
package. This was the check, and an
enforceable one at that. For observe
often as you may do this thing to dupli-
cate it is impossible. You might sue
ceed, perhaps. though with extreme
difficulty, in making an exact reproduc-
tion of your own writing but to tear
apart two pieces of paper in the same
way so that a fragment of one will hit 9
fragment of another is something you
can't do, but you have my permission tc
amuse yourself by trying.

Heavy Sentence.

Imprisonment and $1,000 fine passed on
Col. Valentine Baker, of the English
army, for brutal assault on young
lady In the cars, at Croydon, will in
crease the respect for the administration
of British justice. 1t shows that his
high social position, and reputation as
the best strategist in the British army,
have not been allowed to screen Inn
from the consequences of his miscon-
duct. COL Baker is one of the best tao
ticians in the English army, an intimate
friend of the Prince of Wales, and a
tremendous influence was brought to
bear to secure his acquittal.

Whenever we scatter for them the grain.

And whether the days be dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
These lands of mine,
These fields of thine,
In cloudy shade and in sunset glow,

When gold is high and when it is low.

Analysis of the Human Breath.

An account of some experiments made
with the view to determine the organic
matter of the human breath in health
and disease presents some facts of
peculiarly interesting nature. The
breath of eleven healthy persons and of
seventeen affected by different disorders
was examined, the persons being of
different sexes and ages, and the time of
day at which the breath was condensed
varying. The vapor of the breath was
condensedin large glass flask surround
ed by ice and salt, at temperature of
several degrees below zero, the fluid
thus collected being then analysed for
free ammonia, urea, and kindred sub
stances, also for organic ammonia
Among the various results of this ex-
animation may be mentioned the fact
that, in both health and disease, the free
ammonia varied considerably, the varia-
ton, however, could not be connected
with the time of the day, the fasting, or
full condition. Urea was sought for
in fifteen instances three healthy per-
sons and twelve cases of disease; but it
was only found in two cases Of kidney
disease, in one case of diphtheria and a
faint indication of its presence occurred
in female suffering from catarrh. The
quantity of ammonia arising from the
destruction of organic matter also varied,
possibly from the oxidation of albumin
GUS particles by the process of respira-
ton but in the healthy persons there
was a remarkable uniformity in the total
quantity of ammonia obtained by the
| process.
