which may provoke Widespread artsg-
onism between the Indians and whites
on both American and British territory.
He asked whether ths government
proposed to tender its good offices
in The interest of the Indian subjects of
Great Britain and of humanity. The
secretary replied that go far no informa-
ton had been received, and said he could
not express an opinion as to its origin or
possible consequence. He had no ilfor-
nation tending to show that any
British subjects are connected with
these events, and as at present advised

An Aggressive Swerdhsh.

The brig P. M. Tinker, Captain Ber-
nard, previously mentioned as having
arrived here from Richmond, leaking,
for repairs, has been hauled upon the
ways at Graves's shipyard. On exam
ination yesterday it was discovered that
the leak was caused by swordfsh, the
sword being found broken off forward
the bands, about sixteen feet abaft the
forefoot. The fish, in striking the ves-
sci, must have come with great force,
as the sword penetrated the copper
sheathing, four-inch birch plank, aud
through the timbers about six inches
in all about ten inches. It occurred on
the morning of the 23d OF December,
when the brig was eighteen days out
from Rio, and in the neighborhood of
Cape St. Rogue. She was pumped
about 4 o'clock in the morning, and
found free Of water. About o'clock
the same morning she was again
pumped, when water was obtained,
and, on examination, it was found that
she had made ten inches of water. The
men were kept steady at the pumps
until her arrival at Richmond, and while
there and on her trip Norfolk

The Moon and the Weather.

The notion that the moon exerts an
influence ON weather is SO deeply rooted
that, Notwithstanding all the attacks
which have been made against it since
meteorology has been seriously studied,
it continues to retain its hold upon us.
And yet there never was popular SUI
prostitution mere utterly without ba-
sis than this one. Ii the moon did re-
ally possess any power over weather,
that power could only be exercised in
one of three ways-by reflection of the
suns rays, by attraction, or by emana-
tion.s, No other form. of action is con-
ceivable. Now, as the brightest light
of full moon is never equal in intensi-
ty or quantity to that which is reflected
towards us by white cloud on a sum-
mer day, it can scarcely be pretended
that weather is affected by such
a "A cause. That the moon
does exert attraction on us is manifest
we see its working in the tides; but
though it can move water, it is most
unlikely that it can do the same to air,
for the specific gravity of the atmos-
phere is SO small that there is nothing
to be attracted. Laplace calculated,
indeed, that the joint attraction of the
sun and moon together could not stil
the atmosphere at a quicker rate thar
| five miles day. As for lunar emana.
tions, not sign of them has ever beer
discovered. The idea of an influence

Pluck Of ! Keataeky Wsnsn.

Jailer Horsfall, of Newport, owns .
wife who has several times proved her
self q heroine, and last night about 8
o'clock she proved again that, although
she is . woman, she Is better than some
men for all that. Mr.. Horsfal was
away from home his wife heard . pc
cular kind of noise in the jail. Suspi-
cioning that something was going crook
ed she seized revolver and went to the
front portion Of the building, when she
discovered that prisoners were at work
on the inside Of the wall, cutting q hole
through the brick, for the purpose Of ef-
fecting an escape. It appears that there
were seven OF the prisoners at work.
Marshal Locke and Lieutenant Cotting-
ham had gone over to Cincinnati on q
certain affair pertaining to their duty.
The brave woman dispatched q boy for
an officer, and then standing at the place
they were working at, she told the boys
inside she would blow the brains out Of
the first one who would dare put his
head through the opening. The boys,
knowing that Mrs. H0rsfall meant what
she said, ceased operations, and when
Deputy Marshal Jackson arrived they
both entered and drove the unruly crea-
lures back into their cells. Too much
praise cannot be awarded the brave wo-
man for the fearless part she took in the
affair. Had it not been for her those
seven prisoners would doubtless all have
escaped Cinctn7sdtj Times.

produced by the phases of the moon is
therefore based on no recognizable
cause whatever. Furthermore, it is
now distinctly shown that no variations
at all really occur in
weather at the moment of
the changes of quarter, any more than
at other ordinary times. Since the
establishment of meteorological stations
all over the earth, it has been proved
by millions of observations that there is
no simultaneousness whatever between
the supposed cause and the supposed
effect. The whole story is fancy and
a superstition which has been handed
down to us uncontrolled, and which we
have accepted as true because our FORE
fathers believed it. The moon exercises
no more influence on weather than her.

Why President Buchanan Remained q
Bachelor.

In an elegant mansion near the Ar
lington Hotel in this city, says the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago journal, reside two ladies of the
olden aristocrrcy-Mrs. Freeman and
her sister, Miss Coleman. About the
latter lady a little romance clings which
makes her interesting. She was the
second and the affianced bride of the
late President Buchanan, his first love
having died in her youth, and until he
met Miss Coleman he was almost re-
cluse from ladies' society. He was en-
gagged to her when sent abroad as
American Minister to the Court of st.
James in London. At that time Miss
Coleman resided in New York. He re-
turned to this country on visit and on
the evening he arrived Miss Coleman
was giving grand entertainment. He
was fatigued, and instead Of dressing
and paying his respects to her imme-
diately, retired to his room, and early
next morning called to see her. She had
taken offense at his not calling the even.
ing before and refused to see him, and
they never met again. What regrets
were felt the world has never known
but many an angry impulse has wrecked
the happiness Of men and women be

Beef Tea, and How to Prepare 1t.

First let us take that probably most
valuable of all invalid's preparations
viz, beef tea. The quickest and best
method Of preparing good beef tea is
as follows: Take pound of good lean
gravy beef, cut it up into little pieces,
pour over them pint of cold water, and
add little salt. Then take a fork and
squeeze these in every direction, in or
der, as much as possible, to extract the
juices out of the meat. Next place it
alt. e., both water and meat-in an
enameled saucepan, and put it by the
side of the fire, not on the fire, and
gradually heat it, taking the greatest
care that it does not boil. Having con-
tinued this process for about an hour
and half or two hours, during the last
half-hour keeping the beef tea hot with
out even simmering, strain the whole
offthrough a strainer, pressing the meat
again with spoon, so as to squeeze as
much as possible all the goodness out
of it. Then remove all the fat. This
can be done by carefully skimming it
or, if time will allow, by letting it gel
cold, when the fat will harden on the
top. Now to my mind good beef tea is ont
of the things we can take when i'll, bu'
sick persons often tire of it, and loatht
it. When this is the case, very often by
adding a little sherry, and allowing i
to get cold (when if properly made i
will be a jelly), patients will take it il
this form when they could not in thu
liquid state.
