The Coming Rebellion.
[ HlteT- Oce0N.l


We publish In another part OF to,
days paper All earnest letter from
one of the most prominent men in
public life at Washington, review
ing the situation in the South, and
warning the people of the plain de
signs of the White Leagues aud their
sympathizers and apologists in the
North. lie tells Us that the danger
to the country IL more imminent to.
day than at any hour since the open
ing of the rebellion, and that unless
rigorous means are employed, fraud,
force and intimidation will do the
work in 1876 which secession failed
to do in 1861. How true this is, any
person who has watched the progress
Of events can abundantiy testify. A
long step toward the contamination
Of this evil purpose has already been
takea, and one House of Congress
has been placed under the control oil
men guilty Of bearing arms against
their country. The other step neces-
sary to a complete success OF their
schemes will soon be taken unless
the people are aroused to the danger
which threatens them. The move
for separate government may not
be made at once; possibly not at all.
But il not, a worse and more CALLING
scheme will be inaugurated. The
latter is foreshadowed in the speech
OF Mr.. Hill, Of Georgia, at Atlanta
last month. Said he:
When we seeded, we left the gov
ernment in the bands Of our enemies
and we left our friends In the hands
Of these enemies also. II war
must tcome-God forbid that il should
come--but il ii must, ! am ready.
Let us all who t0re The COiistI-
tuition IN unite and save tile country
by ballot if possible; and u
force. under pretext Of any kind,
shall attempt TO defeat the VIII on
the people, let every patriot be ready
to march under the old stais ana
stripes to the grave or victory. Le1
us OF the South go where we ought
to have gone at first, and where, II
we had gone, we should have crowd
ed out this sinister power.
1t Is a favorite idea OF DIR. Hill,
and doubtless of large numbers OF
Southern politicians, that the cause
of their failure in the late war was
accustomed by the uprising OF the
Democratic party In the North

The Cherokee Times says: " Ida
county has homesteader so tall that
he has to go down into the cellar to
put his hat on, and up stairs to draw
on his boots. More than one half Of
him is a widower." OF course that
means he is more than twice as tall
az his wife. If he stands on his feet
beside her the upper half OF him is
the widowed half. Fl he stands on
his head the upper half is still be-
reaved. Send him to Salt Lake To
get another wife or to Chicago to be
divorced, 80 that he can marry p
woman tall enough to stand on a

against them; the latter being una
BILE to quench that love for the
Union, the Constitution, and the
flag, which rose in mighty power
even against its best friends, when
these were attacked. Now it is a
fact, that thousands of those who,
until that time, had acted with the
Democratic party, threw off their al
legiance when the first gun was fir-
ed, and fought and worked for the
Union; but 90 do this they We're
compelled to leave that organization,
which they did, acting tbencefor-
ward with the Republican party.
The Democratic party as a body, was
disloyal from first to last. 1t was
not the love of the Constitution
which kept them from joining their
friends, but the fear of the conse-
quenees to their own precious bod
les. g Fighting for our rights in the
Union," says Mr.. Hill, 1--WE shall
have these men with u.s." No more,
we respond, than In 1861. What
they dared to do for you then, they
did, and what they dare do again
they will do; but you must not fiat
ter yourclves that the assistance will
be any the more willingly or effectu-
ally rendered because you fight in
side instead of ou aside the lines. The
plain drift of Mr.. Hills advice is to
march on the capital in case q Re-
publican President il elected i'm 1876,
aud capture the Federal archives.
Then set up tie government, and de-
nand that rebels against that gov
ernment lay down their arms. The
plan Is very pretty one, but we fear
Mr.. Hill and his Southern army
would have all the work on their
own hands. The help given them
by Northern Democrats would be
only of that negative quality which
was extended during the late war.
What progress he and his White
Leaguers would make when opposed
by Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and
the veterans whom they command
ed, and who have not yet lost the
spirit or forgotten the experience Of
old campaigns, may be easily mag
ined. No! Dir. Hills plan is inn
practicable; and though with one
House OF Congress in sympathy
with it and Northern renegndes en-
couraging it, with fresh promises of
support, it may be tried, it will re-
suit In faiiure more ignominions
than before. When 1t shall have
been tried and shall have tailed once
more, let us hope that a Judlcious
system Of hanging may warn traitors
in all the future that justice as well
as mercy is an attribute of the gov

examination of the history Of these sub
terranean disturbances shows that each
great earthquake-say of the dimensions
of the recent one at Cucuta, in which
ten thousand lives were lost-has been
followed for certain period by innu-
merable lesser ones. In the summer of
1868, the coast of Chill and Peru were
shaken by terrible earthquakes, in which
many lives and vast amount of property
were lost, and, just two months later, on
Oct. u, San Francisco was shaken SO
violently that buildings cracked from
top to foundation, and assures throwing
forth Jets of water opened in the streets.
In the same year, the Hawaiian volca-
noes had violent eruptions, and the sub
jects of Kamehameha were made sea-
sick by the continued swaying of their
islands. In the same year Vesuvius
opened out with fresh eruption. The
great earthquakes of Caracas, in Vene-
zuela, and New Madrid, Il the United
States, occurred just six months apart.
If we are to regard these precedents, an
other great upheayal may be expected
somewhere on the continent between
this time and the LIST of January.

A Danbury Occupation.

Knocking worms from apple trees is a
common occupation at present. In inn
petuously removing nest from a tree
on Spring street yesterday, two of the
worms fell outside the nest and went
down the neck of the woman who was
watching the operation. She emitted
piercing scream, and went plunging un-
der the tree, uttering shrek after shrek.
The husband, knowing nothing of the
cause cf the outbreak, very discreetly
took to the cellar and crawled back of
cider-vinegar barrel to wait for the dis
appearance of what he firmly believed to
be a serious attack of insanity. The un-
fortunate woman pranced and screamed
until she brought together some sixty
five neighbors of her own sex who were
determined to afford her immediate re-
lief until they learned what was the mat
ter, when they precipitately retired out
side the fence, but showed there was no
no abatement of sympathy by asking
her Individually and unitedly why she
didn't take the dreadful things out. At
this juncture Mr.. Rouse, the baker,
drove by, and he soon restored peace
with the aid of two of the more courage
ous neighbors. The husband now un-
expectedly appeared-from the cellar, aud
explained his course by saying that he
had on his best coat, and was afraid that
she would tear it in her frenzy.-Dan-

Results of the Harvest,

Generally the reports of the condition
of the crops are encouraging. Undoubt-
edly there are large sections of country
in which great damage has been done by
unfavorable weather or insects, but, TAX
ing the country as Q whole, the prospects
now are that the aggregate yield of farm
crops will be large. The grasshoppers
are not reported doing any damage in
any part of the country, and unless they
return later in the season the aggregate
loss will not seriously affect the yield of
the crops of the West, serious as the loss
has been in many counties. AS rule
the Colorado potato beetle is doing less
injury in the West than last year. 1t
has made its appearance in New England
where it has excited much alarm. The
'snew" potato bugs reported in different
parts of Illinois, are not new, and have
thus far never proven destructive over
large sections. With favorable weather
during the remainder of the season there
is good reason to expect harvest which
will do much to increase business

Burning Of Russian Town-.2O0 Lives
Lost.

A Petersburg letter to the London
Standard says:
The fire which destroyed the town of
Morschansk began about o'clock in the
afternoon in one of the faubourgs, at a
distance of nearly half a mile from the
town proper, and within few hours the
whole town, over an extent of five versts,
was prey of the flames. A violent
wind drove the flames in all directions,
causing them to overlap all the open
squares and even the river.
As the fire grew the wind became
tempest, and enormous planks and sheets
of iron, torn from the falling houses,
were hurled as high as the second story
of houses still standing. Cases of goods
allowed to float along the river were
burned on the water. Some of the pa
pers of the public offices have been
found at distance of sixty versts from
the town, and the glow of the fire light
ed up the horizon to distance of ninety
versts. The fire spared about hundred
wooden houses at one end of the town,
but of the brick buildings hardly ten have
escaped.
All the public edifces, with the excep-
ton of the school and several churches,
have been destroyed. The destruction
of property has been entire. Many of
the inhabitants trusted to cellars and
vaults, but they nearly all fell in. AS
the fire spread, furniture and other eff
fects were removed to gardens and other
open spaces, but in vain the flames
soon reached them and reduced all to
ashes. Only one of the corn depots was
saved.
1t is calculated that 1000 buildings
have been burned, and that the loss cam
not be less than 100000 roubles.
About 200 lives were lost, and several
thousand persons were wounded.
Succor, in the shape of provisions,
clothes, and money, was instantly for
warded from Tamboff, Riezan, and other
places, to the unfortunate citizens of
Morschansk, literally wandering about
the woods or sheltering under carts, hav-
ing lost everything, and the number of
the homeless and destitute exceeded TO-
600. Three days after the fire the cor
poration of the town petitioned the gov
ernment for loan of 100000 roubles,
to be redeemed in thirty days.

Resuseitating the Drowned.

Itisnotimprobable that many drowned
persons might be resuscitated, who are
left to perish for want of intelligent and
timely treatment. The rules proper in
such cases, which have been tested by
long experience, have been so often pub
lished that they ought to be generally
known. By way of giving practical
illustration of them, we copy, substan-
tally, case mentioned by the writer of
that interesting little work recently pub
hshed under the title of "The French
at Home" In his walk one morning he
says he saw a man pulled out of the
water, apparently drowned. He was
laid on the right side, the face turned
toward the ground, and the jaws gently
opened to facilitate the escape of water.
Several times the head was placed a lit
tie lower than the rest of the body for
the same purpose, but only for a few
seconds at time. In the meanwhile
there was a regular manipulating process
to induce breathing, which consisted in
pressing the abdomen, stomach and
sides of the chest, but softly. The eff
forts were without effect; the man looked
as if he had seen the last of earth.
Then the PROSTATE figure was carried to
the nearest station for the rescue of the
drowned. Here the man was stripped
and wiped dry, and he was laid, turned
on the right side, between two blankets
on straw mattress. The manipulating
process was resumed, with intervals of
about a quarter of minute between
each pressure of the body, the pressure
being repeated fifteen or twenty times,
followed by suspension of ten minutes.
Twenty minutes were passed in this way,
when physician employed on this kind
of service appeared and took charge of
the case. A warming pan filled with hot
water was passed over the body outside
of the blanket, particularly over the pit
of the stomach and the sides of the
chest. This was alternated with q gen.
tie friction of hot woolen mittens, and
the naked hands and the soles of the
feet and palms of the hands were vigor-
ously rubbed. An operator breathed
into the mouth of the man by means OF
tube. These efforts also proving in
vain, the physician had recourse to the
introduction of tobacco smoke into the
lntestines. In about ten minutes the
man gave feeble sign of life, where
upon all manipulation was discontinued
lest it should interfere with the natural
movement. Soon he showed desire to
vomit, which was assisted by feather
introduced into the throat. How long
the whole process lasted is not stated,
but the reader will see that it was
lengthy. A few days after the writer at
tended ball, and among the most lively
dancers he saw the drowned man.-BoS.
