Once a trap was baited
With a piece of cheese;
Il tich,ed so 4 little mouse

once tL,l@ was a robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside,
And hop upon the floor.

Don't you see what trouble

And cant you take a warming
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking

EARTHQUAKES.

Discussing the phenomena Of earth
quakes, Prof Mallct considers that the
original impulse given to the bed Of the
sea acts simultaneously upon the earth,
the sea, and the atmosphere-originating
at the same instant, and transmitting Ii
or more waves through each. The earth
wave, he says, moves with an immense
velocity, probably not less than 10000
feet per second, in haad stratified rock.
and perhaps little short of this in the
less dense strata. But it is well known
that while the earth wave travels at this
rate, sound moves through water at about
400 feet per second, so that a double
sound will be heard from the sea after
the land sound. Yet at times the ave
of sound are absent while the others are
present. In such cases it is supposed
that no fracture of the earth's crust takes
place, but merely a bending or Texture.

Court Items.

The cases of the Clmal and Drainage
Company, and of Warner Van Norden
against the city, having been argued two
days in the Superior District Court, were
yesterday finished by the mandamus being
made perpetual by Judge Hawkins. The
amount which the order of court was in
tended to cover could not be determined at
the moment, but it will be very nearly

The long continued case of Earle and
Garvey was given to the Jury last night
Judge Cullom's charge, requested in writ
ing by Mr.. Luzenberg, being published in
full in the court record. The arguments on
both sides were exhaustive recitals of the
facts of the case. Mr.. Luzenberg's state
ment of the evidence was thorough, inter
spersed with many apt quotations of the
law, and almost entirely directed to
the object of showing the absence of proof
on the part of the prosecution. The counsel
dwelt continually on the subject of the
confession of Earle, the continual refer
ences to it during the trial having brought
it prominently before the jury, and argued
that even if it had been admitted it could
not have affected Garvey. Attorney Gen.
eral Fields perfect familiarity with every
fact in the case gave great power to his
closing. argument. which was shorter than
usual Every incident was detailed and
every circumstance effectively connected
with the crime. While he was speaking
it seemed to many of the audience as if
the grave clothes of the accused we're being
shaped.
Mr.. Luzenburg excepted to portion of
the charge-that where certain proof was
in the power of the accused absence of it
must be construed against them-and of.
fered number of charges, all but one of
which the court gave to the jury, who then
retired. The foreman, at half,past eleven
O'Clock, reported that there was no pos
sibility of an agreement last night, and the
jury was locked mp to remain till ten o'clock
this morning.
The Babcock war has broken out in q
new place, one of the parties arrested hav-
ing sued four members of the board of
delegates individ ually, in the Fourth Dis
trict Court, alleging that they conspired to
injure his bu siness by the resolution of
arrest. As the resolution was passed by
the whole board of delegates, the members
sued have doubts whether there ought not
to be more parties defendant, and whether
demurrer would not have some effect on
the court.

General Buffers Postal TELEGRAPH Bill

General Butler'e Postal Telegraph Bill
The bill to establish certain telegraphic
lines in the several States and Territories
as post roads and to regulate the trans.
mission of commercial and other intel.
ligeDce by telegraph, recently reported
by General Butler from the Committee
on the Judiciary, is accompanied by
report which seeks to show that it was
originally the settled purpose to control, if
not own, the telegraph as part of the Post
office service, and that the right and power
OF the government to do this, in the interest
OF good government, and for the prevention
of mOnopolies either in the prices of the
transmission of intelligence or by the su-
perior advantages of early intelligence,
which shall give one man an undue, unna-
tural and fraudulent advantage over his fel.

dltles amorg the people, or in affecting
the value of the securities of the govern.
ment, IN whichever way it may be stated,
is complete under either the third or seventh
clause OF the eighth section of the first ar
ticle of the constitution. The report crit.
icises at some length the business arrange
ments between the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and the New York
Associated Press, and asserts that
the former ''can crush q or buy
up all rival lines whenever it desires to do
So" and that ''every leading journal must
have full reports both of the general and
commercial co news, and that they can only
be obtained from the Associated Press, and in
compliance with whatever rules and regula-
tlons it may dictate. A refusal to comply
with them would be the loss Of telegraphic
news, of readers, of advertisements, and of
subscribers. The choice is between auh.

Manufacturers aud Dealers Op.
posed to the Coupon Cigar
Stamping,

The closest and largest direct tax col.
lectcL by the government is that upon the
tobacco and cigar dealers, and yet the au,
thoritics "are not happy" Tobacco deal
ers pay four duties-a duty per pound,
an al valorem duty domestic stamp
duty and u foreign stamp duty-and the
aggregate which all this brings into the
United States Treasury is the snug little
sum OF SlO,OOO,OOO per annum. The Sec
rctary Of the Treasury seems to forget the
fact that profit is required by men who
buy and sell, and 20 he insists upon cigar
dealers putting u separate stamp upon
every single cigar that is made. The iol.
lowing reasons will show plainly whythis
law should not exist;
The stamp on each cigar entailsa great
amount Of labor, necessilatcs the smOk-
ing Of the stamp, which would injure the
flavor OF the cigar, or, ii it were to be
removed, the glue would be certain to
tear the wrapper and spoil the cigar,
On imported cigars each package would
have to be broken open and the cigars
turned ont, and it would be impossible
to replace them in the same order; for
cigars when put into tho box are green
and are what are termed cylinder shaped
when they reach here, except those that
are packed loose, expressly Tor the pur-
pose Of keeping them perfectly round,
This would require u large amount Of
labor and expense, and it would leave
domestic manufacturers at the mercy Of
careless or malicious wOrkmcn, who by
leaving of the stamp from one or more
cigars in box would entail heavy penal.
ties upon the manufacturers, who would
certainly find it impossible to inspect
every cigar made and boxed. 1t spetty
and inQuisilorial in its nature, and it is
unfair 10 unnecessarily annoy the cigar
and tobacco interests, which pay 80
promptly such large revenue to the gov.
crnmcnt. Tobacco men agree that the
proposed system is patented for the pri-
vatC cmollmcnt Of the patentcc rather
than for the actual protection of the gov.
crnmcnt. The manufacturers say that
they are perfectly willing to pay
all just taxes, but they think ihis
one is unjust and oppressive, They
argue that it is impossible for them to
superintcnd the manufacture Of every
single cigar that is turned ont Of their
factories, and II any mistake should oc-
cur, although they may be perfectly in.
noccnt, they either have to pay large
sum Of money or go to law. Upon inn
ported cigars the rule is dOnbIy hard.
Every box must he opened, and Il one

cigars are replaced nicely, or the buyer

count Of the letter Of DR.. DOllinger, dated

The letter speaks thus OF the ground OF

OliC Church which does not acknowledge
the Vatican Council and the new dOgmas
Of the iniallibilty aud unlimited suprem.

respects dogmatic differences which may

VIZ have the authority of two such
journals AS the New York Nation and the
Chicago Tribune for the statement that
business in these cities at last begins to
show signs Of substantial Improvement.
The Tribune reasons from the talk Of the
streets and Board Of Trade, the testimony
Of It's commercial reporters, and by its
own advertising patronage, which on Fri.
day exceeded that Of any other week day
since the Tribune was established. The
Nation speaks from equally definite and
reliable authority, so that the main fact
