Fratr.cldc In virgin ia,

A special dispatch to the Alexandria
Sentinel from Fairfax Court House, Octo-
ber 27, says: "On the 2lst, near Guilford
station, Washington and Ohio railroad,
Jack Lane was killed by his brother
Charles. The particulars as learned here
this morning are as follows: Charles Lane
was married few days ago, and party Of
young men went to serenade him last
Thursday night. 1t made him mad, ana
he ordered them to loave, which all did
but Jack, who stayed near the house. In
few minutes tn, par;y.camc back, and
near the place where they left Jack they
heard groan, ard, on approaching the
spot, they saw Jack lying on the ground.
His neck was broken and skull all mashed
in. His brother said TO one Of the party
that he (Charles) went and shook Jack,
which broke his neck. Jack Lane was
young man of perhaps 24o 25 years, and
was married last spring. No arrest has as
vet been made"

The Earth's Danger.

In the preface to his recent excellent
book, "The Abode of Snow" Mr.. Andrew
Wilson, we'll known as the author of one
Of the most interesting works on the Chi.
nese empire, revives the old tn eory of M.
AdheHar that the earth will topple over
one of these days, and send the oceans
sweeping over the continents. The theory
is that owing to the greater preponderance
of water in the southern hemisphere, the
greatest accumulation of water is round the
south pole; when the accumulation has
reached certain point, the balance of the
earth must be suddenly destroyed-the
centre Of sphericity abruptly changes far
from the centre Of gravity, and the whole
earth, almost instantaneously, must turn
transvsrsely on its axis, move the great
oceans, and so produce one of those grand
cataclysms which have before now altered
the whole face Of the globe. Some very
good physicians and mathematicians have
believed in this theory, which is not easily
even if it be false one.

somnambulisn Extraordi nary.

A curious case cf somnambulism, say .
the Londsn Echo, is reported by cores
pndent at Calcutta, of which khidmutgar
in the employ of one of his friends Is the
subject. A little after midnight this man
begins chanting verse after verse Of his
koran and Of sacred hynns; repeats the
Divine precepts; criticises the shortness of
time in this world, and the lengths Of
eternity in the next and, finally, winds
up with an unearthly howl or shrek.
During all this time he is in tile soundest
Of slumbers, and the only wayts put a stop
to this hn!laballoo is to turn the man on
his side, for, should any one awake him,
he will just open his eyes for minute,
and, if allowed to continue on the fiat of
his back, he will recommence his bowling

Mysterious Affair,
From the PIa. Bulletin.

ITOW We 1Huu. Duuetln.
A young colored girl who gave her
name as Cornelia Bostich, was found in the
street by a policeman, about 3 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon last, and was taken
to the Tenth District Police Station. Her
actions led to the supposition that she was
intoxicated. She was in a semi-cor.s sciy,ls
condition, and Capt. Helms could not de-
tect an odor of liquor He sent for ply
sician, who expressed the opinion that the
woslan was suffering from the effects of
narcotic poison. The womon stated that
she lived with Mrs. Hillman, or Millmar,
No. 3, Poplar Court, but inquiries failed
to discover any such person. There wa,
no change in the condition Of the sufferer
the next morning, and the physician was
sent for again. He was much puzzled
about the case, and in the afternoon the
woman was sent 10 the Phila. Hospital.
On Friday lady appeared at the District
Station and made inquiry about the girl,
saying that she had been sent en- an errand
and had not been heard Of afterwards.
This lady was informed that the gill was
at the aims house, but, it seems, did not 60
there after her A dispatch from the Stew
ard Of the aims house, yesterday morning,
announced that the woman was dead. The
matter will be investigated By the proper
authorities.

Booth, Surratt, jackson.

The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel, in a
recent letter, says:
"However much John Wilkes Booth
may have erred in assuming the assassin's
role, for which good men must in all time
dtnoun2e him, there is no doubt that lis
distorted intellect made him believe that
he was performing a. act Of patriotism.
While Booth has been severely animad-
verted upon from time TO time by Southern
journals and people generally for his rash
act, there are those in the north who re-
gard him as "a great hero Ayoung New
York lady stated to me that she revered
the memory of Booth, and would freely
give her own life if she could call into be-
ing the young actor. 4 would esteem it
an honor to kiss his foot were he alive
she exclaimed.
] met a christian statesman the other
day, and asked him if he could inform me
where Mrs. Surratt was buried. Indeed,
l cannot, Sir he responded The killing
of that woman was murder, and all the
waters in the Potomac could not whiten
the souls Of her murderers,' But were you
not in the Senate at the time, Sir, and
might you not have interceded for her poor
life" l asked. Judgment had fled to
british beasts Sir, and 1t would have
taken man Of more courage than pos
sessed to have even suggested that she be
pardoned,' quoth the ex-senator. John
Su-ratt married Virginia lady last year,
and is now teaching school at 4 village in
Maryland, about twenty-five miles hence.
Miss Sarratt married a Treasury clerk,
but Immediately after the nuptials he was
dismissed from the department.
The daughter of Jackson, who shot COL
Ellsworth for tearing down the Stars and
Bars from his hotel, is Gle k in the Pos;
Office Department. She rec eived her place
through the influence of Col. Mosbv.
Some time since she was discharged, but
upon hearing Of it the President-put this
down to his eredit-iastructed Jewell that
this worthy young lady was to be retained
as long as he was president. I guess Mss
Jackson will not oppose third term.

The story is as follows: Two young ruf

purparting to be signed by Detective Kea-

THE President has been waited upon by
number OF ministers who desire that the
peace policy towards the Indians shall n
lie disturbed. The President assured the.
that the peace policy was not failure.
This may be so, bs' no thanks are due to
the plts;l,a; and h:S cabinet tina: it is not
a failure as the way in which the poor
Indian was cheated and robbed by D,lano
and Lis allies in this crime, was not only
enough TO break up peace policy, but

is what will be required 10 make the

Arsenic E0teHs.

At meeting of German natural philo-
sophers in Vienna, Dr. Knapp introduced
two arssnic eaters from Styria; the one ate
$50 grammes of yellow sulphuret Of ar
senic, the other 0.4O grammes of arsenic
acid, in sight efthe Assembly. In his lee
ture on the arsenic eaters, DR.. Knapp said,
among other things: 1T is difficult to give
any certain particulars as to the increase
in number of arsenic eates. ! have con-
WINGED myself that there exist many of
them in Upper Styria, and also in Middle
Syria; very many stable boys, os lers,
wood cutters and forestess are known to me
as arsenic eaters; even the female sex is ad-
dfcted to the practice. Many began
already at II or IS years of age to take
arsenic, and continued it to great age
Most arsenic eaters keep the matter secret,
50 that it is impossible to give accurate sta
tistics. They all assign as their motives
for indulging in the habit that it prevents
illness; furthers their. wish to look rosy and
healthy; that it is remedy against diff
Guilty OF breathing, and assists the digestion
of indieestable food. A poaeher in Upper
styria, who made experiments in my pres
ence Of eating arsenic, told me he had ac-
quired courage by the habit. The appear.
ance Of the arsenic eaters in all cases
known to me is healthy and robust. l
think only robust persons can become ac-
customed to the practice. Some of them
attain grea! age. Thus 10 Zeiring I saw
a charcoal burner, upward Of seventy, still
strong and hearty, who, I was told, had
taken arsenic for more than forty years. l
heard, too, Of chamois hunter of eighty.
one, who had long been used to eat arsenic.
l never observed an arsenic cachezy in
those addicted to the habit. It certainly
happened once that such an arsenic-ea,er,
"a leather dresser's apprentice in Ligist
1861 while intoxicated took TOO much
thereby poisoning himself severely. Ac-
cording to his own account he had taken
piece as large as bean. He entirely re.
covered, however,and ate arsenic asterwa I'd,
but more carefully"

THE MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

C1ScISSATI April G-The sale Of season
tickets for the May Musical Festival was be-
gun this morning under the most hatterlng
assurances of the success of that enterprise.
Although the Office was not opened until ~
A. NJ, the line commencing forming alb out
A. NJ, and those in line who waited for
nearly eight hours were furnished with coffee
and sandwiches by their Fri nds.
The days sale was more than double that
of the irst day. two years ago, and if the
same ratio OF increase is continued during
the week there will be nothing left but stand
ing room. The ball has seating capacity for
only six Thousand persons, and the proba-
bil,ies are that its capacity will be tested to
the utmost.
Orders tor seats are pouring in by mail and
telegraph from Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland. st. Louis
and many other cities, and although there
are still many seats to be had, an early appll-
cation will be necessary to secure them.
The rehearsals Of the orchestra and chorus
are progressing steadily, with promise Of
far greater success than was attained two
years ago, and everything possible is being
done to render the festival complete in all its
parts. There will be seven performances,
commencing May H.. and closing on the
evening of the l4th.
