with fine buildings, afford great and
agreeable contrast to the narrow, crooked,
sunless streets of the other cities of this
part of the continent. 1t was ia real COM
fort to ssstand out in the sun sand not be
chilled by the cold shadows of the canon
like walls. Here the ancients had their
manufactures of jewelry precious stones,
coral ornaments, etc. The churches are
very fine, although not over 800 years old.
The palaces are magnificent. The Church
of the Major has an altar named after Laz-
arus, which has front carved in basrelief,
said to be of the nth century. OF the old
Church of the Accoules" an old gothic
tower remains, which carries now the town
clock. The Museum is filed with paint
ings of the Italian and Flemish masters,
and the cabinet Of medals is truly remark
BILE, being, they say, the most complete col
lection of the medals of the Greek kings,
Roman emperors, and consular and colonial
medals as well. On hill overlooking the
town is the Fort Of Our Lady of the Guard,
within which is a chapel dedicated to the
Virgin Mary. Them, besides, there are
some old Roman ruins, of course, which
are SO old that they don't know who built
them. We next went ~
UP THE RHoNE TO AvIGNoN
To see some more beautiful ruins. The
Palace of the Popes, magnificent pile Of
stone buildings, now fort, on high rock
jutting out into the river, presents fine
effect. 1t looks as though it were built
part at time, without any regular design,
but one is struck with the massive walls,
grand courts, spacious saloons, and i'm
mense vaults, rising one above the other.
Upon the walls are numerous old paintings,
nearly effaced, which arouse the curiosity
Of the antiquary. The palaces also con-
tain splendid portraits by Van Dyke.
Those in the Brignolla, Durazzo and Bali
Palaces charmed us particularly. These and
the Guidos are worth long journey to see.
To give even faint idea Of these things,
SO different from anything we see at home,
is impossible without the aid of the photo
graph, and even this is unsatisfactory so l
shall feel content if I only arouse your Gu
riosity by these etchings in outline of the
beaten paths of the old world. '.s.55

Spontaneous Combustion of Bituminous
Coal

Coal.
A list of 1875 disasters to sea-going ves-
sells from fire in coal bunkers or in cargoes
of bituminous coal has been published as
occurring between October, 1869, and De-
cember, 1876 All of the vessels were dam
aged and many of them destroyed. APP
pended to the list was a record from Lloyds
of sixty-fve sailing vessels and four steam
ers, loaded with coal, which were reported
"missingn between July /, 1873, and Feb
ruary 1, 1876. Although the manner in
which bituminous coal stored in vessels be-
comes ignited is still subject of discussion,
it seems to have been demonstrated that
combustion may be set up in heaps OF some
kind of bituminous coal by chemical ac-
tion, and that the cause of such combus-
ton, whatever it may be, is at present be-
yond mans control. 1t was asserted some
time ago that "spontaneous combustion
took place only in certain English coal dug
from mines of great depth. The list pub
lished in the Herald shows that among
every vessel burned or missing was loaded
with English coals-not more than half q
dozen of the vessels sailed from American
ports. The great loss in property and in
lives occasioned by these spontaneous fires
makes the question of their origin one OF
great importance Paila. Ledger

LONDON, September 16.-The

although the Porte has said its

not said theirs. 1t remains for them
to signify by collective act what
terms of peace are admissible, and
Turkey will indeed have begun a
new chapter of her history if she
should resist their united counsels.
Her unbending attitude almost
warrants the suspicion that, to
save her own dignity in the pres

the pressure of those powers, which,
as they protest, must command. Il

"Are there any noble Indians,

B." Yes, plenty of them, and

is a greater Indian than has ever
appeared in America. The late
campaigns on the Yellowstone show
that he is equal if not superior to
the best generals in managing bat
ties. A few years ago he was a
blanket Indian, without influence
or wealth, and by his own energy
he has raised himself to the head Of
the most powerful Indian tribe on
the plains, and is the acknowledged
leader of all the hostiles. Red
Cloud will compare fayorably with
any chief that has ever lived, and
Spotted Tail is not far behind him
in ability. ] remember Washakie,
chief Of the Shoshones, who, if he
had been born white instead of red,

George Rector and Spencer Grand,
who returned Sunday from Kim

following particulars of a terrible
duel which took place Friday morn
ing on the bank of the Brazos river,
opposite the town mentioned. A
party composed of Walter Turner,
Ed Brown and 49, Thompson,
from kaufman county, had been
in that locality several days with
race horses. On Thursday last
Frank and Lacy Robinson, Taylor
Campbell and Wiley Norman, all of
Hill county, went to the camp
of the Kaufman county men and
got into a dispute with them about
a pony race, which resulted in a fist
fight. The parties agreed to meet the
next day and settle the thing in a
more satisfactory manner. So at
10 o'clock on Friday morning the
Hill county men took a stand at
the place agreed upon, in readiness
for action. They had notwaited long
when the other party rode toward
them. The men were all armed
with six-shooters except Turner,
who carried needle carbine. When
the parties had approached within
tweLty yards of each other, Taylor
Campbell fired at Turner, and the
battle commenced. Turner leaped
from his horse and fired three shots
with his terrible carbine. The first
shot went crashing through Camp
BELLS brain, the second caused the
instant death of Frank Robinson,
and the last shot mortally wounded
Lacy Robinson ; by this time a ball
from Thompson's revolver had
passed through poor Norman'S
breast, a boy aged seventeen years;
and all of the Hill county party laid
weltering in their blood. Some
twenty shots were fired altogether.
More than half the shots were fired
by the Hill county party, but,
strange to say, none of the Kauf-
man county men were in the least
hurt. Campbell and Frank Rob
inson each fired five shots Nor
man and Lacy Robinson also fired,
but the only damage did was to kill
Turner's horse. The surviving
party mounted horses and fled the
country. A hundred men started
in pursuit. Both the Robinson'

the Infected Quarter Greatest
Apprehension Prevailing.
NEW YORK, September 15.-The
World this morning has a dispatch
from Baltimore stating that the
greatest apprehension prevails there
on account of the prevalence of
some fifteen cases of yellow fever
in the eastern section Of the city,
in a locality adjacent to the ship
wharves, where hundreds of sea-
faring men find lodgings. All the
force of the health department are
at work. Three deaths have occur
red and several cases have been sent
to the quarantine hospital. The
line of steamers between Baltimore
and Savannah has been ordered to
discontinue its trips. Several yes
sells are at quarantine with cases
on board. In one case a woman
who died of the epidemic last even
ing remains alone in a house, and
no one will go near it. Six cart
loads of chloride of lime and other
disinfectants have been scattered in
the adjacent streets, which look as
if a snow-storm had taken place.
Policemen guard the infected neigh
borhood, and many families are
moving away for several squares on
every side. People are burning tar
in front of their premises.
Mayor LatrObe nenies the Exist
encs of yellow Fever.
Mayor Latrobe states that no
case of yellow fever prevails in Bal
timore that official reports were
made to him up to last evening
from DR.. Stewart, of the health
commissioners, and DR.. Howard,
quarantine physician, and not a
case of yellow fever was reported
or has occurred in their report sub
mitted yesterday. DR.. Stewart
states that a type of malarial fever
prevails to some extent in East
Baltimore, fronting the back basin.
in tenement houses at the foot
of Thames, Dallas and Caroline
streets ; that he visited this locality
yesterday and found twelve OIL
thirteen cases of this fever, which
originated from the bad sanitary
condition of the neighborhood, and
most of whom were improving.
The persons suffering were no.

could in any way be traced to thu

ease is endemic, and disappears OF
