nad an interview with SECRETARY Eisl'
TINS morning and learned that ,hann
was meeting of the British r.h;,,a.
on Saturday, at which they dafnry,;,.
ed to adhere to their former nnsit;nn
not to return Winslow to the Trn;taj
States, as requested by our Govern
ment. The protest of the Secretary
of State, which the British Cabinet
had before them on Saturday, shows
that such an evasion of the treaty
stipulatiOns was never before suggcs-
ted by any Government. The Secre-
tary strengthens his protest by citing
a number Of precedents, alluding to
the fact that a parliamentary enact
ment seems to be considered by the,
British government of more binding
force than the solemn treaty existing
between the two nations and which
provides for the extradition under
the circumstances presented in the.
case under consideration, as our gov.
ernment will not give such assurance
as Great Britain requires and as the
latter is unyielding. Winslow will
be Internationally discharged to-
morrow OH the reception of official
intelligence Of this fact. The Secre-
tary Of State will transmit all the
correspondence in the case to the
House of Representatives. There is
no doubt that the action of the Brit
ish government will lead to measures
having in view the repeal Of the ex-
tradition clause of the Ashburton
| treaty.

CenssnnIal l3ieanings,

Two hundred and sixty-six car
loads of exhibits arrived at the Gen.
tennial grounds Tuesday.
The iron PROV of the oldest steamer
New Jersey, the first an smallest
steamer that ever crossed the Attain
tic, is in South Amboy, N. j., and
will be exhibited at the Centennial.
In the main building the work of
erecting show leases and putting goods
into place is progressing very rapid
ly. The American goods are arri-
wing much more promptly than here
tofore and the American department
presents very favorable showing,
as compared with its appearance sew
raj days ago.
A great sensation on the streets of
Philadelphia, is the presence of five
Arabians, wearing the fez, the zouave
jacket, and the baggy trowsers pecu-
liar to the Orientals, they can scarce
ly make their way through the thor
Oughfares on account of the crowds
that follow and cluster around them.
These gentlemen are merchants of
Jerusalem, trading under the firm
name of Nachly Freres, and owing
allegiance to the Sultan of Turkey,
Abdul Aziz. They have secured
space in the Turkish department of
the exhibition, and, if possible. will
erect separate establishment within
the grounds. They are dealers in OIL
i've wood, fancy articles, and eastern
goods generally, and were exhibitors
at both the Vienna and Paris Worlds
Fairs.

The Journal Of Chemistry warns
the drinkers Of water from wells near
dwellings.to beware of typhoid poi
son, sure to be found sooner or later
i'm those reservoirs if any of the
house drainage can percolate to them.
The galatinous matter often found
upon the stones of a well is a poison
to the human system, probably caus-
ing by its spores a fermentation of
the blood with abnormal heat or 1e-
YER. Wholesome untainted water is
always free from all color or oder.
To test it thoroughly place half pint
in a clear bottle, with few grains of
lump sugar, and expose it, stopper
ed, to sunlight in window. If, even
after an exposure of eight or ten
days, the water become turbid, it is a
sure indication that the water has
been contaminated by sewage of some
kind if it remains perfectly clear it
is pure and safe.

Biw "a rms Ia England.

Reference to the big farms in Illi-
nois-40,OOO acres, eighteen in corn,
five in oats and fax, and the rest in
grass--has recalled a notice of the
London Spectator from the Domesday
Book of Scotland, which has . list al
those landlords who each own more
than 2l0O0 acres Of land in that coun-
try. The result is that one man alone
in his own aud his wife's right, holds
more than a fifteenth of the entire
area of the kingdom, and twelve
men nearly third; a proportion
probably exceeding anything in Yves.
tern Europe. No less than 1876 hold
more than $4,000 each, The elsYep
Whn own the largest amounts of land
are; The duke of Sutherland, l, 49,.

THE New York World has started
the story that Senator Morton has
been guilty of Incorporating the
public funds, and the democracy have
got a fresh investigation on hand.
The subject matter is this: In the
early days of the rebellion, Indiana
had Copperhead-Democratic Lcgis-
Iat,ire, and they would not furnish
Governor Morton with the means to
assist the National Government in
putting troops in the field. In this
dilemma Morton hurried off to Wash
ington, and, through Secretary STAN
ton, got $250,OOO out of the National
Treasury, to enable him to second the
administration in pushing forward
the war for the suppression of the
rebellion. This is the fund the DEM
ocratic reformcrs claim he has not
properly used. Let the investigation
go on. A disclosure Of the disloyal
Democracy of Indiana, in those days,
embracing many OF its shining lights,
will be necessarily involved, and in
the end it can only result i'm the glo'
of the man it is sought to destro
and the discontinue of the invcstiga-
tors.

and close Of the agument be given to
the respondent; that three counsels
and three managers may be heard in
such order as may he agreed on be-
tween themselves and that such time
be allowed for argument as the coun.
sells and managers may desire.
After argument by Messrs. Hoal

Hon. WIN. S. HOLMAN, of Indiana,
wanted 10 be the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of that State. He
was quite a moderate war Democrat
during the rebellion. He could not
win. The successful man, James ID.
Williams, has bit of a record, and
here is some of it: In 1868 he was
a member Of the legislature Of that
State, and the following resolution
was offered in the Indiana legisla-
ture, at that time Democratic, but, at
the same time, thank God, the State
had a Republican Governor. Here
is the resolution:
"Whereas. the suppression Of the
rebellion and the preservation of thu
Union of all the States is the great anG
paramount object of all loyal citizens
therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of thu
Legislature will vote for no man fol
office who is not in favor of a vigor
GUS prosecution of the war, and who
is not unalterably opposed to tht
severance of any State or States from
this Union"
This was defeated, and the mar
Williams, now Democratic candidate
for Governor, laborcd and voted tt

LONDON, April PA Paris cores
pondcnt says the fire in the Theatre
des Arts, i'm Rouen, broke out while
the actors were dressing for the per-
formance, and was discovered before
the public were admitted. The flames
spread rapidly. The outlets of the
building were so narrow that the
exit of members of the chorus and
supernumcraries was cut off, and the
poor people crowded the windows,
many leaping from them upon the
bedding piled below by the inhabit-
ants. One chorus-singer was visible
for an hour in an upper window, be-
yOnd the reach of help. Four sold
iers were killed and fourteen wound
ed in cndeayoring to save lives,
About fifty person were badly injur.
ed. A leading singer, Nine. Pzys
entered the burning building in
search of her husband, and persisted
in the flames.
The Times dispatch from PARIS
says the theatre at Roucn continued
to burn until noon yesterday. The
fire was caused by gas jet igniting
a curtain. In addition to the victims
whose bodies have already been
found, four persons died in hospital
and four soldiers are missing
Twelve houses adjacent were destroy
ed. The total loss is estimated al
100000.

The shershovns.

Mr.. VIM. Curtis, a noted Shorthorn
breeder of Michigan, says he prefers
the Shorthorns because there Is more
profit in them; there is more of them.
The calves and stock bring more
money; they take on flesh faster
The cows give rich milk and the but
ter is richer. ! know. this, for have
tried Shorthorns for years. They
have no superior for beef. They COM
binc more good qualities than any
other breed Of cattle. They cannot
be improved by crossing with any
other breed; but the Shortllorn im-
proves everything it touches. 1t is
the best known breed for improving
native stock, and for this purpose
alone they are invaluable. They DIRE
kind and gentle, eqsily handled, good
breeders and good mothers, healthy
feeders, and prefer them 10 any 9TH
err breed. But make no war on
any other breed. They all have their
good points, but the Sborthorns, in
my opinion, have the most best
points.
