A WASHINGTON dispatch of the goth ult
says Geo. II. Cowell, Chief Clerk of the
Postoffice Department, and a personal
friend of Mr.. Jewell, had been requested
to resign, and had done so, the resigna-

A REPORT was published in the Chicago

A SEVERE engagement took place near
Urbizas, on the 2Sth ult., between the
Turks, under Moukhtar Pasha, and the
Servians. The latter were victorious, cap

created intense excitement throughout
Greece, and her relations with Turkey
were becoming very serious. She had is
sued a note to the Great Powers, express

vent war with Turkey. A Berlin tele-

withdraw her Envoy from Constantinople.
A Widdin dispatch of the 31st ult says

Ex-SOlicitOr Wilson's Statements.

Bluford Wilson, ex-Solicitor of the United
States Treasury, was before the House Com
mittee on the whisky trials in st. Louis, on
| the 9th ult., and gave in detail his knowl-
edge in regard to the late whisky prosecu-
tions in the West, and particularly in regard
to the connection OF Babcock with them
| Wilson said that there was no lack of coop
Grafton on the part of the President in the
whisky cases generally, until Babcock be-
came involved, when q GOODNESS between the
White House and the Treasury Department
arose. He also testified that, in converse
ton with Gen. Horace Porter, soon after the
discovery that the Sylph" telegram was in
Babcock's handwriting, Porter gave an ex-
planation of the dispatch TO the effect that
it related to movements of certain parties
going to st. Louis on bridge business, and
said that the signature arose from the fact
of there being a certain woman who had
given the President much trouble, and
whom Mcdonald had been requested by
Babcock to get away from Washington, be-
cause she had been annoying the President.
The President subsequently Indignantly de-
MED to Wilson the story told by Porter.
Wilson testified that when he first heard this
story from Porter he believed it to be false,
and he still believed so. Mr.. Wilson was
further examined on the 28th, and gave in
detail his reasons for thinking the President
did not show the same sympathy with the
whisky prosecutions after as before the evil
dence tending to implicnte Gen. Babcock in
the frauds. The witness read several letters
and stated several conversations between
the officers and others, which letters and
conversations had led him to the conclusion
stated He testified that the annoyance
which it was said the woman "Sylph"
gave the President was by her efforts
to blackmail him in St Louis. Mr..
Wilson stated, in reply to a ques-
tion by one of the committee, that he
attributed the differences between the Presi-
dent and himself to the fact that the form
er believed Babcock to be innocent, and, so
believing, he could not sympathize With the
prosecuting officers or with the Secretary and
witness in the part they took with reference
TO Babcock's case. He further stated that
his own judgment was that whatever differ
ences arose between the Secretary and him
self on one side, and the President on the
other, were due on the Presidents part to
misconception OF the motives and
purposes which actuated the Secre-
tary, and witness to misinformation, as to
facts, to wilful and deliberate per.
versions of facts to the President by
scoundrels whom they were endeavoring to
bring to punishment, and their friends, for
the purpose of bringing about a disagree
ment between the President and the Secre-
tary, to create embarrassment to the prose-
cution, and, if possible, to defeat their pur-
pose.

A Curious Bee Story.

IT is quite easy for any Chapei-street
merchant to verify the truth of the follow
ing Interesting statement concerning a
strange annual visitation of honey bees to
the store in Streets building, which for
the last thirty years has been occupied by
DIR. G. b. Whittlesey, the we'll known
wholesale and retail druggist Every year
since the store has been occupied by its
present tenant, at about this season, il has
been regularly visited each pleasant day by
hundreds of busy bees, which fly in and
out, apparently on some errand or quest
not to be accounted for by any circum-
stance or condition of the premises. They
never sting any of the clerks or customers,
but buzz among the boxes and packages,
and tumble and hum against the show
cases and great bottles on the shelves, go
ing from one end of the establishment to
the other with an apparent earnestness
borrowed from their sense of toll amid
happy clover haunts, or where flowers of
fragrance and sweetness blossom for the
especial benefit of bees. These not alto
gether unwelcome visitors from some un-
known and probably distant hive are not
enticed TO this place by sweets, because
there are no drippings of translucent
sirups tinct with cinnamon" or other de-
lectaDle commoulty upon Wnlcn they can
feed, or which they can carry away.
Some of the bees make their call without
ever returning TO their home. They wan
der on uncertain wings up and down
the store, in and out of the open door,
as though their mission were to
"see Rome and die" for they grow
weary after day or two, and appear to
fail in strength until they perish. Every
week the young men gather as many dead
bees from the counters and shelves as
could not be contained within the bulk of
generous double-handful. There has
always been more or less speculation as to
where the bees have their home, and
what occult motive brings them every
year, like faithful pilgrims, to this partic,
ular repository of potasheS, chloride of
lime and other infragrant chemicals, dye.

solution of the mystery has as yet been

The Eruption OF Volcanoes.

The Reuue ScfentUque of July / con.
tans an interesting chapter quoted from a
work on volcanoes by NJ. X. Fuchs. The
author, after reviewing all the different
theories hitherto in vogue, distinctly re-
pudiates the notion that volcanoes are in
communication with the center of the
earth. The real cause of eruptions, he
says, is still mystery the modern hy.
pothesis, which supposes the center of the
earth to be solid, but enveloped in STRAIT
um of rocks in state of aqueous fusion,
over which lies the hardened crust we in
habit, answers pretty nearly to the facts
brought to light by recent investigation.
1t is not to be doubted that eruptions are
owing TO struggle between the vapors
contained in the volcanic focus and the
masses of lava that stop their issue. These
will absorb large quantity of the former,
but in the end they get saturated, and the
remaining vapors force a passage TO the
'errestrial surface. The origin of these
-lpors is stated to be the sea, which pro-
rides the volcanic focus with the requisite
Snam. In support of this view the author
Aoints TO the fact that active volcanoes are
TFmost exclusively situated near sea
past Out of 139 that have had eruptions
Sce the middle of the last century,
Timely eight are insular, and nearly all the
hers are close to the coast. Another ar
lment in favor of the intiltration of sea-
later is this; that the chemical constitu
:, n of volcanic vapors comprise all the
distances that distinguish sea.water from
,,sh, and even in the same proportions.
t nt real volcano is the invisible focus sit

viii mere crater exposed to view. The

MONROE, Mich, July n, 1876.
To the Soldiers OF the Nation;
Custer has fallen. The gallant chief, the
ideal soldier, the warm-hearted comrade, has
gone. The Nation mourns his loss, and
gratefully acknowledges the debt she owes

the honor which soldier and civilian alike

bright luster of his fame, will count it a
privilege to give some substantial tribute TO
his memory, the Executive Committee Of
the Custer National Monument Association,
led by the suggestion of many Of your old

result is not surprising to US. Well

sustained by evidence, we were only
surprised that the Senate should give
to such proceeding the attention it

While we conccde to every Senator
the right to vote as he pleases on such
