A VINE cask full of dynamite, ready
to explode, was discovered in the New
York custom house. addressed to Jacob
Frech, Hunting on, Huntington county,
Indiana, North America. If it had
accidently fallen or received 4 blow
any way the explosion would have been
so fearful as to ruin everything around.

A Tidy Little Income for Hard
Times.

The heaviest amount in the way Of
interest and dividends upon stock and
bond securities paid to any one man
in this city, and probably in the United
States, if not in the world, is paid to
William ii Vanderbilt. The total is
estimated at over 81 100000 per quar-
ter. or between 6,0O0. 600 and 100000
per annum, of which some S4OOO,OO0
is received from the bonds and stock
of the New York Central railroad.
so vast total income is believed to
be. by those who haye good means for
knowing. without a parallel, except
in the case of Mr.. Wander bilt's father,
the Commodore, who at times realized
even larger income than S7,OD,OOO
AS was the case with the Commodore,
the son invests these dividends and
interests in the same. securities, or
those equally good, avoiding rea! es-
tate and other sources of revenue, no
matter how tempting for the moment
they may seem.-lN. Y. dispatch.

The United States steam man. of.
war, Huron, went ashore about one
O'Clock Saturday morning at the bend
of the North Carolina coast, seventy
five miles south Of Cape Henry, the
most exposed portion of the shore be
tween Capes Henry and Hatteras. The
Huron was third-rare iron-screw W
steamer of 54l tons, and displacement
of 1,O20 tons, and carried four guns,
She was comparatively a new vessel,
being one of three-the Alert, the
Ranger and che Hnron-built by the
Government three years ago, with a
peculiar rig. She left Norfolk, Va.
on Friday morning, in the midst of q
fierce storra from the southeast, the
wind blowing ct the rate Of seventy
miles an hour. 1t is the theory OF
those acquainted with the coast that
the Huron was caught in the height OF
the gale, and while trying to hold on,
head to the wind, her machinery gave
way, and her sails being useless
against such a wind, she slowly drifsed
ashore, the sea running tremendously
high, and being an iron vessel the
Huron soon became a total wreck
The foremast and main topmast were
the first to 60 by the board, and in an
incredibly short space of time she was
literally dashed to pieces. Attempts
were made to lower the boats, but
without avail. The sea made a clean
breach over her hull. sweeping her
crew into the breakers.
In; the darkness and the storm escape
was rendered almost impossible, and
only thirty persons out of 139 on
board managed to reach the beach in
safety, most Of them in shocking
bruised condition. The remainder, so
far as known were drowned in the
surf or killed by the floating umbers.

Bursting Bubbles.

On Thursday morning of last week
the telegraph Announced that theThfrd
National Bank of Chicago, one of the
strongest banking institutions in the
West, had gone up the spout and gone
into liquidation. Its liabilities are
given at S2,742,904 with assets of an
equal amount, and, as usual, the opin-
ion is expressed that it will be able to
pay ali its creditors, though such re-
suits are rarely realized.
On Friday morning the announce
ment came that the Central National
Bank of Chicago had determined to
close its doors. It had capital stock
of $500, 900, and besides its other liza
bilities was owing depositors about
1924 600. Ofcourse its officers con-
slider it perfectly sound and able to
pay all its debts.
At a meeting of the stockholders OF
the Tenth National Bank ofNew Y ork
on Friday last and in accordance with
the advice Of the Directors, it was
unanimously voted to close up the
concern and go into liquidation. This
is the bank that last spring reduced its
capital stock from 81 100000 to $780,
600.
The last statement shows S1,1S9, 200
in loans, S1O7, 900 in currency, and
$40, 200 in specie. against deposits of
$3.50. 400, and circulation of $500
The bank is now prosecuting a suit
against the city TO recover $500, ,OOO, ,ad-
vanced upon old Ring warrants, which
have never been paid. Deposits have
been discouraged for some time. and
hereafter none will be received. 1t is
hoped that dividend Of 40 per cent.
will he paid the stockholders by JAN
nary 1st.

The folio wing is the full text of the
Silver Bill as amended by the Com
mittee and reported 10 the Senate on
the 2lst inst:
''An act TO authorize free coinage OF
q standard silver dollar, and to restore
the legal tender character. ts
''Be IL enacted, de-, That there shall
be coined st the several mints Of the
United States silver dollars of the
weight, u four hundred and twelve
and q half grains troy OF standard sill
yer as provided in the act OF 1897, on
which shall be the devices and super
scriptions provided by the said act,
which coins together with all silver
dollars hereafter coined by the United
States of like weight and iineness, shall
be a legal tender, at their nominal val
ue, for all debts and dues, public or
private. except where otherwise pro-
vided by contract, and the Secretary
Of the Treasury is authorized and di-
rected out of any money in the Treas
ury; not otherwise appropriated, to
purchase from time 10 time silver bull
lion, at the market price thereof, not
less than two million dollars per mouth,
nor more than four millions of dollars
per month, and cause the same to be
coined into such dollars and any gain
or seignOrage arising from this COIN
age shall be accounted for and paid in
to the Treasury, as provided under
the existing laws relative to subsidiary
coinage, provided that the amount Of
money, at any one time, invested in
such silver bullion exclusive of such
resulting coin, shall not exceed five
million dollars.
''SEC. 2. All acts and parts of acts
inconsistent with the provisions of
this act, are hereby repealed"
There is no probability that this i'm.
portant measure will be brought to a
vote iu the Senate before the regular
session as there are but TWO or three
days remaining of the extra session.
The friends of the measure feel quite
confident Of it's final passage, but there
is much speculation as to what action
Mr.. Hayes will take on the bill.

The will of the people has at length
been heard and headed by one branch
of Congress. On Friday the bill to
repeal the third section of theResnmp-
ton act was brought to a vote in the
House of Representatives and passed
that body by a vote of 133 ayes to 12O
noes. The bill as passed is substan-
tially the same as that reported by the
0ommittee and advocated by General
Ewing. Forts amendment, which
was accepted by the advocates of the
repeal bill simply continues that part
Of the third section of the Resumption
act relating to National Banks.

Georgia, as saying that if the Senate
does not pass the anti-resumption bill
which the House has passed, or some
similar measure, that ruin and riot are
inevitable in this country" The ruin

On Wednesday of last week novel
spectacle was witnessed In the United
Statef Senate, when for the first time
since the 81 of March, 1861, the Dem
ocrats had majority in that body
Early in the day the report was circu'
lated that Patterson and Coaover had
been blackmaiIed into voting for But.
ler's admission, and canvass was
made showing that if this was true the
Democrats would have majority.
Patterson was iabored with, but could
only be persuaded to leave the Senate
and dodge the vote, as he had a good
excuse for doing, his habeas corpus
case being argued in the District
Court. But Conover would not yield.
He said that he owned large proper
ty in Florida and that it would be
worthless to him unless he did some
thing to 'concilliate the Democracy.
Mr.. Patterson's excuse was that the
Democrats had promised to stop their
persecution Of him in his State, but
they will compel him to vote with
them on every important question
This vote to-day is the beginning OF
the end. In the abseEce of Sharon,
with the votes of Patterson and Con-
over, the Democrats have a majority.
They will then admit Butler, Butler's
vote will admit Eustis, and when he is
In, Spofford's admission is certain.
The Democrats will then haye a ma
jority and will reorganize the Senate.
Butler will not get in without long
debate. Cameron and Christiancy.
who went to South Carolina IS an in
vestigation committee last winter, have
meyer reported, but their report is
ready and will be presented for eifec,
against Butler. ,.
The Radicals are making most des
perate struggle to retain yet little
longer their power in the Senate. The
fight is chiefly over the contested seats
of Butler, of South Carolina, andSpof-
ford, Of Louisiana. If the case OF
Butler, should be first acted upon and
he be ,ses.ed. Kellogg would have 10
step aside and Spofford would be ad-
mitted. The Democrats wOnld then
have q working majority in that body
would be in accord politically.

KuKluXtng on the Reserve.
On Tuesday night of last week
. startling sensation was created by a
lynching affair near Middlefeld, &C.
augs county. A man named Luther
Scott was arrested by Constable and
two deputies from Middlefield on the
charge of burglary, in breaking into
the store of Church s. Co., of that
town. While returning to the village
with the prisoner, and while passing
through strip of woods, the officers
were attacked by band of about
twenty masked men. who bound and
gagged them. and then hung the pris-
oner to tree. After the Ku-Kluxers
left, the officers loostened themselves
and gave the alarm. 1t was thought
that Scott was dead, but he was resus-
citated and the physicicns think he
will fully recover. There was great
excitement over the affair and bodies
of armed men started out Immediate
ly in search of the men, but at last ac-
counts no clue had been gained 10 the
perpetrators. Ii the came thing had
happened in the South the services of
the Federal army would have been
demanded and it would have been q
subject for Congressional investiga-
(ion.

THE Cincinnati Times don't go much

on Gen. Garneld. 1t says:
The next time Mr.. Garfield makes 8
speech on the resumption question,
we hope he will cOnfine himself strict
ly to his subject. We should like to
see him prove that, under the present
plan, we can resume on gold basis.
Arguments against imitation, or state
ments of the favorable effect OF re-
sumption on poor men, are beside the
question. The country wants to know
what reason he has for believing that
the gold standard can be restored by
January, 1879. Assertions that it can
be are of no more value than asser-
tions that it can't be.
