Capture OF a Gang Of Railroad Thiev<..
A Toledo dispatch of the 23rd says a
bold and we'll planned attempt was made
to rob the express car Of train No. 6, bound
east, over the air line division of the Lake
Shore l. Michigan Southern railroad. Shortly
after the train left Ligonier, Ind, the car was
entered by four men, who accosted the mes
senger and were about to bind him when they
were suddenly confronted by force of officers
and expressmen, headed by chief Of police
Pardy Of this city, who had been informed that
the attempt was to be made and had concealed
himself and men In the car. A short but
most desperate struggle ensued, resulting in
The capture Of the entire band, who were
brought to this city and lodged in Jail. They
arc oil young men and residents of Noble
county, Ind. The train was not stopped, and
none of the passengers were aware that any
thing unusual had occurred during the trip.

Reminiscenc@ Of tho Mexican War.
Gov. Hampton, in his address at the
Shields guard reunion, in Auburn, N, Y, on
the 21st, said: come solely to join in paying
honor to gallant soldier and my old friend
Gen. Shields; came at bis request to bring
from South Carolina that flag which waved
over him in those glorious battles on the hills
and plains of Mexico; that flag which derives
not little Of its lustre from his brilliant
achievement (applause.) That was the aag
(here the battle flag of the Palmetto State was
held up by Capt Hogan and received with
chcers) that was the flag, my friends, which
was first placed on the walls of the city of
Mexico over the halls Of the Montezumas. It
was the last fog to wave Us the conquering
army left the capital, the regiment remaining
by the request Of the Mexican city authorities
and forming the rear guard That regiment,
my friends, went out 100 strong, comprising
the best blood in the state, young men buoy

Carolina with 200 men, and now but small
remnant is left to guard this sacred relic I
am sure they would have loaned it for no
other purpose than it might be an honor to
the man that did honor to it. (Applause.)

The decision embodied in the following
letter Of Secretary John Sherman was reached
ut Cabinet meeting on the 10th inst, and the
letter thercupon promptly forwarded.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Juno
10, 1S77.-Francis o. French, Esq.,, Ne,r York
Sir: Your letter of the 18th inst, in which you
inquire whether the four per cent bonds now
being sold by the government are payable,
principal and interest in gold coin Is received
The subject, from its great Importance, has de-
manded and received careful consideration.
Under the laws now in force there is no coin
issued or issuable in which the principal of
the four per cent. bonds as redecmable or in
tcrest payable except the gold coins Of the
United States of standard value, fixed BY
laws in force the 18th of July, 1870, when the
bonds were authorized. The government ex-
acts in exchange for these bonds
payment at their face in such gold
and 1t Is not to be anticipated
that any future legislation Of con-
gress or any action Of any department Of tho
government would sanction or tolerate re-
dcmpton Of the principal of these bonds or
the payment of the interest thereon In coin Of
less value than the coins authorized bv law
at the time of the issue Of the bonds, being the
coin exactcd by the government in exchange
for the same The essential element OF good
faith in preserving equality i'll value between
coinage In which the government receives
and that in which it pays those bonds will be
sacredly observed by the government and pco-
pie of the United States, whatever may be the
system of coinage which the general policy Of
the nation may adopt. This principle is i'm
pressed upon the text Of the law OF Juno II,
1870 under which the four per cent. bonds
are issued, and requires, in the opinion OF the
executive department Of the government, the
redemption Of these bonds and the payment Of
their Interest in coin Of equal value with that
which the government receives upon their
issue.

MISCELLANY.
Il STORY OF FANNY KRMBLE AND HER
HUSBAND.

At the northwest corner Of Eighth and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, stood, till
some twenty years ago. an old brick mansion,
in the centre Of block surrounded by a solid
brick. wall a fine promenade, planted with
magnificent trees, under which few deer
gamboled end startled and slept. 1t was
known as the Butler mansion, and here the
celebrated Fanny Kemble passed . few years
of happy married life. We have seen her is
sue from the broad gateway of that old man
sion many time as she went out for her daily
horse back exercise. She was splendid
horscwoman and always rode alone. On her
visit to this country with her father, she mar
ried Pierce Butler, a little fop who was very
rich and of good family. and she lived to re-
greet it, through long, lonely years. Her OPP
position to slavery was determined, and as
her husbands property consisted in Southern
and Sea Island cotton fields, it became bone
of contention between them, and finally e;lus-
cd their separation. Her diary of residence
of three years on a South Carolina plantation
gives description of slave life and paints
the Butler character almost unconsciously.
Her husband, P. Butler belonged to the high
toned family who have figured SO prominently
in the Hamburg massacre, but was not y

doctor who ran away with and married Miss

was Maer. A daughter is the wife of Gen.
George Cadwallader whom old Mexican SOL
diers will remember Prince Butler, of South
Carolina, being childless, offered to adopt two
of Maer's boys John and Pierce, provissed
they dropped their name and assumed
that Of Butler which they did, and
inherited bis very Large estateF. But they
squandered It all. Pierce sold his slaves long
before the war and bought cheap popularity
among the apologists of slavery by giving
each hand as he was sold silver dollar as a
memeneo Of his generosity. When the war
broke out he went South but finding that he
could not remain without Joining the army
he came back North, began at once his open
opposition to the Government, and shortly
found himself IN Fort Lafaye cite. He was re-
leased on giving bonds for his good behavior
and died 4 lew years ago poor and despised.

VALUE OF SALr.--Not more than twenty
five yeara ago learned doctor published an
elaborate treatise to prove that salt was, the
/" forbidden fruit" through eating which our
first parents fell, and has ever since been the
cause Of all our diseases and ills, though only
iunatio would deny that salt serves some
important aud essential uses in the animal
economy. The desire for salt seems an in,
stinct implanted in the animal creation, and
there is a naturaI craving forit when it does
not exist in sufficient quantity in food.
Animals win travel long distances and brave
great dangers to get at saline earths, called
salt ticks horses and cows. are most healthy
when provided with Jumps of rock salt In
their managers, or pastures, and even bees
will sip a ISOLATION Of salt With avidity. Men
viii barter gold for it in countries where it
is scarce, and for it husbands win sell their
wives, and parents their children. In some
districts of Africa salt Is far more expensive
than the purest white sugar in Europe, and
children will suck a lump Of itn preferences
to sweet-meats. But the existence OF great
er or less appetite for salt in all individuals
shows that this substance serves more im-
portant functions than taat of merely crafty
ing the palate.
Salt being a large constituent of the human
body and forming about hsif the total weight
of the saline matters of the blood, the con-
slant loss of it by the seoretions, the bile, and
even tears, requires to be made up by its EN-

The War Indications.

AS the army operations of Russia pro-
coed, and the plan of the campaign de-
velops, the theory gains strength that the
great antagonist of Turkey does not in
tend to move directly on Constantinople,
but only to keep i'll that region an army
large enough to threaten and be ready to
strike This will require the bulk of the
Turkish army to be present and equally
watchful Meantime the large Russian
army that has invaded Turkey in Asia,
eastward of the Black Sea, will have its
own way in that region, and make havoc
with the armies and Notifications Of the
Sultan. This is as shrewd in strategy as
it is able in diplomacy. Operations on the
Danube, that would alarm other nations,
and provoke their interference, will thus
be avoided. In eastern Turkey too, the
Russians will have their friends the Per
slams within striking distance, if the re
port of an alliance with that nation be
correct.
But in thus thanking Constantinople
Russia can scarcely fail to arouse the
jealousy and apprehension of England fol
her commercial supremacy i'll India and
the east generally. Russian success in
Asiatic Turkey threatens England at q
vital point, But still the advantage will
be largely with Turkey, for if England
intcrteres, she must carry on long, eX-
pensive and eXhausting war with the
Russian army in Turkey, at distance
from home, and where her navy could be
OF small assistance. Meanwhile, the Rus
sian ships of war would burn, sink anC
destroy the English merchant marine
That England will be able to avoid wal
is not believed by observers who are best
informed and most discerning. That Rus
sia has toreseen and is expecting such {;
contingency is evidenced in her policy o.
sending abroad to both Atlantic and Pa
citic ports a large number of the best anC
swittest ships Of her navy. England per
ceives this, and her natural pluck is as
sorting itself, for John Bull is all courage
for any fight, no matter what the odds
If all signs do not fail, we shall soon be-
come spectators of a tremendous Euro
pean conflict.

The OPENING OF THE PERMANENT
EXHIBITION. President Hayes has ac-
cepted an invitation to be present at the
opening Of the Permanent Exhibition in
Philadelphia on May 10. The only mark
Cd change in the construction of the Nam
Building is in the centre of the north side,
where the high gallery has been connect
ed with the floor by ascending tiers of
seats, the great organ looming up above
them. This is a stage for a chorus of $500
voices, and in front OF it there is an audi
cnce room that will hold 5000 people.
The foreign courts face the main aisle,
the structures being us a rule the same as
those used at the Centennial Exhibition.
One of the towers is to be turned into an
Indian encampment, and close by will be
placed the old log cabin and the New
England kitchen. Another tower will rep
resent German homestead, deliberately
tiled and lighted with stained glass. A
new bronze statue Of the Goddess of Lib
erty is to stand in the centre of the EXhi-
bition Building, and the art exhibits, in
Guiding marble and bronze statues, plaster
casts, paintings, engravings and photo
graphs, are to be arranged to the south,

The main art exhibition will be in Me-
mortal Hall. The educational section will
be very complete; machinery and agri-
culture have not been neglected; a large
space has been reserved for the book de-
partment, and French crystal pavilion
where foreign glass is to be exhibited is
one of the many new features that have
been introduced. The enterprise of Phil
adelphia in offering under single roof so
many of the attractions of the Centennial
Exhibition is striking, and, according to
The Press "will reawaken deep and ire
pressible enthusiasm"

Bloody Work Of Mob.

JACKSON, May |. On Thursday even
ing last Jno. w. Gully, Il prominent citi-
zen OF kemper county, was assassinated
10y an unknown party, which created in
tense excitement and every means were
resorted to to discover the pcrpetrator.
On Saturday two cOlored men made aft
davit that Benjamin Rush (white) did the
deed, and that Judge Chisholm, who ran
for Congress on the Republican ticket in
the third district in the last election, his
son, Gilmer, Rosenhaum, and Hopper,
prominent white Republicans, knew of
and instigated the crime. Chisholm and
son were arrested and imprisoned at De-
kalb. Mrs. Chisholm and daughter in
sisted on sharing their confinement. On
Sunday Chisholm sent to Scooba for Gil
mer, for whom a warrant had been issued
Gilmer came and on his arrival was ar
rested, but just as he arrived at the Jail
he was set upon by a mob and killed
The jailer was then overpowered by the
mob, who Immediately attacked CHS
holm, mortally wounding him and kill
ing his son. Miss Chisholm, i'll defending
her father, shot and killed DR.. Rosslie,
and Mrs Chisholm severely wounded
young Gully, son of Gully who was as
sassinatcd. Miss Chisholm was also Sc
verely wounded. Rosenhaum and Hop
per were carried to the woods by the mob
for the purpose of eXtorting from them
the whereabouts of Rush, the alleged as
sassin of Gully. When last heard from
some weeks ago, Rush was in Arkansas.
1t is supposed that Rosenhaum and Hop
per were hanged.
1t is reported that horrible state of
affairs exists throughout that section. The
people are wild with excitement and other
hanglngs will probably follow.

nificance whatever, being only quarrel

Russian and Turkish Names.

1t is reported that the night editor Of a
morning daily newspaper, when he be-
came certain that the Russian war had
begun, and contemplated the terrible ar
ray of unpronounceablc names that he
would have to Wrestle with in the de-
spatches, went and hanged himself. 1t is
true that they are outrageous to English
photography and pronunciation, but there
is sometimes a comlcal appropriateness to
them. One Of the officers of the Russian
navy, and the inventor Of the circular
iron clad ship, is Admiral Popot1, who
will proceed to pop off the Turks as
fast as possible. There is a poem by
Robert Southey, describing Napoleons
disastrous retreat after the burning of
Moscow in 1872, which makes a humorous
use of we'll known Russian names, and at
hatred Of the Emperor. The Emperor
Nap is represented as setting out for an
excursion to Moscow ''while the fields
were 50 green and the sky was SO blue"
The poet thus relates the incidents of the
retreat
The Russians they stuck close to him.

And last of all an Admiral came,

Nobody can speak, and nobody can spell
