Curious Litigation.

A queer case of litigation is reported
from Woodbury., vt. Almon Holmes
sued his son, July l, for trespass for a
harness and a pig, worth less than $40,
and committed him to jail in Montpe-
lier. The defendant, being still in jail,
could not be presen at, his trial, and
the father refused to take any steps to
bring him into court. The case was adj
iourned to MontpeliG, where the court
dismissed the suit, ard rendered ludg-
ment for the defendant for his costs,
whereupon the plaintiff appeals the case
to the County court which keeps the
defendant in Jail. Young Holmes
brought suit for fase imprisonment,
claiming $1,000 damiges of his father:
The defendant has wife and six small
children in Elmore that are in a desti-
tute condition. The wife chops the
wood for the fire, and the town assists
in their support.

A late cable dispatch from London
says: Leonard Amblam, a Belgian,
who was arrested in July last on board
an outward bound steamer from Liver
pool, accused of the robbery and muir
der of M. Mursut, banker, and his
housekeeper, at Ciury. near Brussels.
was delivered on Friday to Belgian
officer at Dover. Arriving at Ostend,
the officer and his prisoner, the latter
manacled, took special compartment in
the Brussels train. On the arrival OF
the train at Brussels both were missing.
The compartment they occupied was
deluged with blood, and bore marks OF
terrific struggle. The body tof the
officer was found beside the track with
skull and face battered. AL his valua-
bles were missing. 1t is conject ured
that Anblam watched an opportunity to
attack the officer with his wrist irons,
and beat him to death, after which he
unlocked the manacles and escaped.
He has not yet been recaptured."

How He Got The Idea.

DIR. LIE Moyne, the enthusiast, who
has built cremation furnace near Wash
ington, Pa, and!dedieated it to the poor,
caught the idea when he was on the
stump during political canvass. While
the campaign which resulted in the cleo
ton of Buchanan to tie Presidency was
In progress, DR.. lie Moyne and a number
of friends were poisoned by meals eaten
in Washington, d. g., hotel. A num-
Der of the poisoned gentlemen died, and
Buchanan had marrow escape. It was
charged that the opposition party had
procured the commission of the crime.
The investigation revealed the fact that
the poisoning had BEN caused by the
water which was drank at breakfast, it
having been contaminated by contact
with sewage. DIR. L. Moyne soon be-
came convinced that the cemeteries of
the world were great promoters of dis
ease, by the infltrati0 of decomposing
animal matter, by which springs of water
contiguous to graveyads were poisoned.

A Glance at the Organization that En-
gland Wisely shrinks from Meeting.
[From the New York Tribune.l
The arrival of the news of Russia S
intervention to assist Servia has created
no ineonsiderable interest as to her mil
itary ability and organization. Hence,
observations on the ukase of Jan. ID,
1874, by which the entire military sys-
tenn four ded by Peter the Great, per-
fected by Alexander aud Nicholas, was
recognized, are pertinent. BY that edict
the armed forces of the empire consist of
standing army and militia. The former
embraces land and naval troops, and the
latter are men between the ages of 20
and 40, not in the standing army, who
can do military duty. No physically
sound Russian subject is exempt from
military service. The entire empire is
a vast recruiting ground. Even young
men in the liberal professions do not to-
tally escape, although their period of
service is limited. Fifteen years is the
full term of military service for all ex-
cept Cossacks, whose service is lifelong.
Six of this is active, nine In the reserve.
The infantry and cavalry of the army
composed of four regiments artillery,
rifemen, andiengineers being formed IN
to brigades. Each division of infantry
consists of two brigades each brigade
of two regiments of three battalions
each each battalion of four companies,
and each company of $50 men. In 1875
the Russian army was estimated at $780,
900 men, but double this number, with
800, 900 horses, could, in the event of
war, be brought iRto requisition. The
regular army comprises 1872 regiments of
infantry, Sc regiments of cavalry, and
2,256 guns. Besides this the Cossacks
have 1853 mounted regiments, 81 battal-
ions on foot, and % batteries.
Scarcely less formidable is the Russian
navy, the administration of which is in
the hands of the Minister of Marine, as
sisted by an Admiralty Council, though
the supreme command OF the feet is in
vested in the Grand Admiral, who at
present is the Grand Duke Constantine,
brother of the Gear. The navy is COM
manded by 81 Admirals and 1000 officers
of all ranks, and contains 25, 500 sailors
and marines. The feet consists of 225
steam vessels, with 521 guns, of total
tonnage of 172,5O1. The feet is dis
tributed in the Baltic, Black, and Cas-
plan seas, and few vessels are scattered
on the Pacific and Arctic coasts. The
troors of Russia, though Lot as active
and intelligent as those that France and
England possess, are yet endowed with
implicit ) obedience and indomitable
courage, qualities Of paramount desir-
ability in asoldiery. Invincible in their
own country-undergoing the greatest
hardsnips, and shrinking from no under
taking, when well differed they are
equal to the best soldiers in Western

The New Old Ironsides.

The frigate Constitution, better know
as the cold Ironsides, which is no
being rebuilt at the shipyard of Messr;
Wood, Dialogue & Co., at Kaighn'
Point, is to be fitted up as school shit
for naval apprentices. Com. Henry A
Adams, now of the receiving ship Poto
mac, will be In command, and Lieut.
Com. Neilds will be executive officer. A
full complement of men are now being
shipped for term of one year, for the
purpose of manning the vessel and put
ting her in order fer sea. Heretofore
boys who were shipped at this point as
naval apprentices were sent to the Min
nesota at New York, but hereafter they
will go aboard the Constitution, where
they will be taught seamanship and taken
on Short cruises to prepare them for duty
as seamen. Philadelphia Ledger.

THE HEBREWS.
Is it the Intention of the Gar to Re-Esta b
lish Jewish Kingdom?
Washington Cor. New York Graphic.l


washington Cor. New York Graphical
There is curious story afoat here in
the circles which have access to dlplo-
matte secrets that the movement of Rus
STA on Armenia and Southeastern Asiatic
Turkey is somehow mixed up with
George Eliot's story of SC Daniel De-
ronda."
It will be remembered that Daniel
Deronda's scheme, first suggested by
the dying Jew, Mordecai, was the pur-
chase of Palestine and the restoration of
the Jews to their old home. It is said
here that if war should break out it is
the intention of Russia to march di-
rectly to Palestine with a double pur-
pose First, to outfank the Turkish do
minions in Asia and, second, to gain
access to the Mediterranean and the
harbors on the coast of Asia Minor. 1t
is also asserted that in case Russia should
get possession OF the Holy Land, it pro
poses to erect Jewish nationality upon
the payment by the rich Jews of the
world of sufficient sum to indemnify
Russia for the cost of the war.
AS the Jews are the great bankers of
the world, and as it has long been the
dream of the most impressible and aspir-
ing among them to again occupy Judea,
and as George Eliot and her husband are
known to be intimate with leading jew
ish families, it is believed that she was
induced to put this Jewish scheme of
Mordecai and Deronda into a novel, SO
as to prepare the public for what was
likely to take place.
Charles Bradlaugh, when in this
country, communicated to the Graphic
and other papers the fact that secret So
cieties were at work fomenting trouble
in the East between Turkey and Russia,
and, if this latest rumor is true, it will
account for the presence of the immense
Russian army on the borders of Armenia,
and point to the possibility of the recon
stitution of the Empire of David and
Solomon under Russian auspices.

A BI0Odthirsty Lion.

The New York papers report that
sold Parker the famous African lion
of the Central Park collection, is dying.
He was captured, when about 4 years
old, near the walls of Oran, by Schulet,
one of the agents of the geological Gar
dens of London. In 1859 he was first
brought out, and on the second night of
his exhibition he killed w. G. Brock
well, his trainer, in Crooks circus, Lon
don. His next exploit was the killing of
his trainer, Robert Stuart, in Glasgow,
and afterward he badly mangled man
in one of the shire towns of England.
Parker was afterward brought to this
country by Sands, Nathan Il Co., but
they could do but little with him, and
after few performances he killed Miss
Hardy. He afterward became the prop
erty of Mr.. Barnum, and finally OF the
Park Commissioners.

A Chinaman Buys a Railroad.

The Celestial can hold his own when
he plays poker with innocent Americans,
but in Europe he is as helpless as babe
in a wood. Mandarin Mung, of the
Chinese embassy, which recently visited
Paris, entered railway coach with
eight seats at Marseilles and found a
wen-dressed Englishman III one of them.
Mung politely allowed him to remain,
and, being ableto speak English toler-
ably, soon entered into conversation
with him. The Englishman casually
spoke of himself as the proprietor of
both the train and the locomotive, and
dropped the subject. Mung renewed it,
and the Englishman told him that the
locomotive and the coach in which they
rode would be very useful to himself
and the embassy in rapidly traversing
the Paris streets. Having plenty OF
other locomotives and coaches, he offered
to sell them for 10000 francs. Mung
eagerly embraced the opportunity, and,
taking the money from his treasurer,
counted it out. The Englishman gave
a receipt, and at the next station disap-
peared. The Celestial learned thing

tient who had the consumption, and he
informed the parties Who consulted him

patient died, and it vas found that he
had died exactly on the day that DR..
Langley predicted he would. AS the
patient was never informed of the pre-

DR.. Langley was formerly gambler and
