Valley, was stabbed by William Nc
Combs, under the following circum-

naturally considerable bad feeling. AT
the time mentioned Messrs. Billings,
Judd Dakin and John Walker were in
the latter's saloon on the Halleck road,
near the crossing of LamOille creek,
and McCombs, accompanied by Ben
Morton, came in and took SOME drinks.
McCombs finally asked Billings and
the others o join him in a glass, which
they did, after which McCombs asked
Billings to step outside ~ he had
something to say to him. The two
walked out of the house and sat on the
opposite side of the road; while Nor
ton and Walker engaged in a converse
ton in the rear of the house, and MIR.
Dakin amused himself at "~solitaire."
In a few minutes McCombs and Bill
lings jumped to their feet, the former
applying OpprObrious language to the
latter, who in turn struck McCombs.
McCombs then stabbed Billings in the
breast with a pOcket-knife. Walker
and Dakin took the wounded man

MUSTANGS AGAIN.-Our dispatches
contain interesting details of another
mustang a Q against time and for
greenbacks. Peralta rode this time in
stead of Parker. The match was to
ride l55 miles in seven hours, or at the
rate. OF 2:42 a mile, with Is horses. Par
ker was to have ridden 3O5 miles In
Is hours, or at the rate of 1857 q mile,
using 80 horses. AS far as the endur-
ance Of the horses are concerned the
Peralta race, it will be at n seer, was
the most severe test. Yet he accom-
plished it with ease, and without inter
ference from Bergh. But Peralta took
proper precautions against fatigue;
while Parker, dreaming of the free air
and active life Of his native plains, fell
q victim to the insidious seductions of
New York spring weather and New
York crooked whisky.

DEEP WALNUT STAIN FOR LIGHT WooDs-The employment of alkaline manganates for staining light woods in furniture and floors a beautiful, uni form and durable walnut brown, is highly recommended by Viedt. The action depends upon the decomposition of the salt in the pores of the wood, with the separation in them of very finely divided brown hydrated peroXi- ed of manganese. In practice, addi- ton of magnesium sulphate to the solution hastens the reaction. The process may be conducted as follows Dissolve equal parts of manganate ot soda and crystallized Epson salt Tn twenty to thirty times the amount oi water, at about 144 deg- and brush the blamed wood with the solution. The less the water employed, the darker the stain, and the better the solution, the deeper it will penetrate. When thoroughly dry, and after the opera lion has been repeated, if necessary inc furniture is smOOthed with oil, and finally polished. It is well to wash Il carefully with hot water before smooth ing. to prevent the etflorescence of the sulphate of soda formed. For floors the solution may be employed boil inr hot. and if the stain is not dark enough, a second application of a less concentrated solution should be made After it is perfectly dry, it should be vanished with a perfectly coioresS oil varnish. On account of the depth of penetration of the stain, fresh ap
 plication will not soon be required.

A Jewish Restoration Under Rus
 sian Auspices.

The Washington correspondent of the Graphic states that there is curi- ous story afioat in circles which have access to diplomatic secrets that the movement of Russia on Armenia and southeastern AsIatic Turkey is some how mixed up with George Pilots story of Daniel DerOnda's scheme, first suggested by the dying Jew, Nor decai, was the purchase of Palestine and the restOratiOn.of the Jews to their old home. It is said that if war should break out it is the intention of Russia to march directly t. Palestine with d double purpose First, to Oattiank the Turkish dOminIons in Asia, and sec Ond, to gain access to the Mediter ranean and the harbOrS on the coast of Asia Minor. It is also asserted that, in case Russia should get possession of the Holy Land, it proposes to erect a Jewish nationality upon the payment by the rich Jews of the world of a sui ticlent 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 impossible and aspiring among them, to agaIn occupy Judea, and as George Eliot and hus- band are known to be intimate with leading Jewish 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.
 If this IS true it wilt account for the presence of the immense Russian army on the borders of Armenia, and points to the possibility of the recon stitution of the empire of David and Solomon under Russian auspices.

From the Baltimore Amerlcan-l
 The Rev Father P Ryan, assistant pastor of St. Peters Catholic Church, corner of Poppleton and Rollins streets delivered an interesting sermon yester- day morning, in which he adverted to mixed marriages, or marriages the par ties to which are of different religious faith The effects of these marriages were often ruinOus tO the peace and happiness of families The subject had received the serious consideration of the archbishop and clergy of the diocese at a meeting held at the close of the recent annual retreat. As a re- suit, parish priests were not now per mitted to give abSOlutiOn tO a Catholic young man who was paying attentions to a Protestant young lady, or to a Catholic young lady who was receiv- ing the attentions of Protestant young man, with a vIew to matrimOny In cases where members of the Cath olic Church did contract such mar riages they would be compelled first to receive the consent of the archbishop before the parish priest could marry them. It had also been determined that all marriages in the Catholic churches in this city must take place in daylight

THE great Centennial Exhibition

THE great Centennial Exhibition was to have closed its career on No vember 10, and although we have nothing as yet in regard to such clos ing, we suppose that the great show IS already numbered with the past. IL was undoubtedly goodly sight and one that will afford those who were so fortunate as to be able to attend, a theme for life time How the years speed by. How interminable does the thought of hundred years hence seem, ana the conceit of being or not be ing present at the next centennial has furnished food for numberless small wits and yet it is but briefspan, and we can contemplate the round of another hundred years and conjecture its pos sible and probable dangers and results and achievements with a calmer assur- ance than could our fathers an hun dred years ago. We think we see dangers crowding thick and fast around our beloved country, and we shrink from fast accumulating prob lens and crises which like Alps on Alps arise immediately in our way. But if our fathers faith was firm and immOvable in the almost hopeless night of our national nativity, we must be weak and degenerate sons to falter and waver in regard to our future des- tiny. We have serious questions to solve, but we have such a grand pur- chase on which to plant our levers of thought and action that we shall verify move the world in the next century, or our promise greatly bellies results. There are serious questions to solve. There always will be until the perfect day is reached when man shall stand out as like God as he was originally made Godlike. Let us forth to the next century's contests concerning sui frage, education, church and state and all the weighty matters just before us, firm and steadfast in our faith and con fident of the result.
 For right is right since God is God,
 And right the day must win;
 To doubt would be disloyalty
 To iilter would be sin.

Diving for Drink.
From the New Haven Register

From the New Haven Register.l
 One of the hottest regions of the earth is along the Persian gulf, where little or no rain falls. At Barhin the arid shore has no fresh wa.cr, yet a comparatively numerous population cOntrives tO exist there. thanks to CO., pious springs which burst forth from the bottom. The fresh water is got by diving. The diver, sitting in his boat winds A great goatskin bag around his left arm, the hand grasping it's mouth; then he takes in his right hand heavy stone, to which is attach ed a strong line, and thus equipped he plunges in and quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly opening the bag over the strong jet of fresh water he springs up in the ascending current, at the same time closing the bag, and is helped aboard. The stOLe is then hauled up, and the diver, after taking breath, plunges again. The source of these cOpIous submarine springs is thought tO be in the green hills Of Oman, some 500 or 600 miles distant

After he had confessed all here he went down to Santiago and Jose and regulated their cOnsciences, but III San Jose he WIS accused of making too free with some of his pen itents, and was obliged to leave sud denly.

TIE news that the next German Par lament would be asked to increase the silver coinage because there was not enough in circulation, has already been referred to in our columns. The scare ity of currency in Germany indicates that the limit of the area within which gold can be made the single monetary standard, is beng rapidly reached. The English government has recently avOwed that it greatly desires the sub stitution in India of the gold for the silver standard. The United States, when it resumes specie payments, will need a large amount of metallic money gold or silver, as the case may be. An influential school in France are urging that country to adopt the single gold standard Does it need to be argued that if Germany, with the gold standard, finds herself short of currency, that France, the United States and India cannot adopt ihe same standard without producing the most serious monetary Arrangement? To throw SO vast a mass of silver aS would be demOnetized out of use, would in fiict great loss on the holders of silver, either as bullion or currency, and the supply of gold cannot be spread over so vast a surface-ChcsgO Tribune.
