A Conundrum.

1t does not yet clearly appear what
American interests will be benefited by
the war in Europe unless England should
be seriously involved. If England is
dragged into the war Gan extremely i'm
probable EVENT. then the American flag
will become the safest in the world under
which commerce can be carried on, and
the shipping interests of the United
States would experience graf revival.
All idle steamers and ships in our har-
bors and those suitable for tie purpose
now employed in the less profitable
coasting and other trades would be put
into the trade between the United
States and Europe, and great blow
would be struck toward regaihing Amer
lean ascendency upon the sea. 1t must
be remembered, however, that the
United States will never regain its COM
mercial ascendency except With Amer
lean ships. The Americans ire the best
ship builders in the world; and it is
only by fostering their own ship build
ing and using their own ships that they
will ever again make their mark as a
commercial nation. The merchant ma
rine of the United States still ranks
second only to England.

II" Survival of the Fittst."

The ingenious doctrine prpounded by
Mr.. Darwin, the tireless investigator of ma

ing the fate of medicines as il that of the
animal species. Every year lew remedies
are brought before the public, md are soon
completely discarded as their sac rapidly de-
creases. Only those medicine which are
best suited to the peoples wants survive the
first test. If they are tried and found
wanting" in the merits whicl they are
claimed to possess, no amount Ofadyertising
will make them popular. OF al the rene

are so popular as DIR. Pierce's Family Medi-

An cold Hickory !" Story.

1t is said of stout Andrew jackson that
when he was President he was waited
upon one day by Washington boarding
house keeper, who complained that a
Tennesseean who had been appointed by
him to clerkship in one OF the depart
ments, would not pay board bill. ''Get
his note" said the President, & for the
full amount, interest included, payable
in sixty days, and bring 1T to me"
"That will be of no use" replied the
clearinghouse keeper, for he never
paws his notes." "Do as tell you, Sir, %
said Jackson, and turned away. The
next day the boarding house keeper re-
appeared at the White House and handed
the note to the President He took it,
wrote Andrew Jackson across the
back to his well-known autograph, and
handed it back, saying: Take that to
the Bank of the Metropolis, and tell
them from me that at its maturity it
will be paid either by the drawer or the
indorser They will discount it for
YOU" A few days afterward the man
who had given the note met his creditor
and tauntingly said: Well, | don't
suppose you have been able to negotiate
my paper?" eyes" replied the board
ing-house keeper, 81 had no trouble in
getting it discounted at legal rates of in
terest.' 'HWho in thunder is willing to
discount my notes?' asked the Tennes-
seean. "The Bank of the Metropolis
discounted the one you gave me, upon
the assurance that if you did not pay it
She indorser $would. "But who would
indorse my note?' "Gen. Jackson, and
he sent word to the bank that if you did
not pay the note he would" 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the note was
promptly paid by the maker.

An Ocean of Jelly-Fish.

The Star and Herald, of Panama, re-
ports curious phenomenon as having
occurred at Aspinwall during the present
month, and calls upon the scientific for
an explanation. The beach, says that
journal, is of coral formation and ex-
tends from the lighthouse eastward along
the northern shore of Manzanilla island
Tor mile or more, and is open to the
caribbean. Upon the night in question,
or rather, on the morning following,
this whole distance was covered with a
deposit of a deep-vivid indigo-blue-
something resembling broad ribbon
stretched along the limits of high tide,
which there amounts to only eighteen
inches. Beholders were startled by this
very singular appearance, and it was at
first thought that perhaps Old Neptune
and the Tagus indigo business might have
had something to do with it; nor was
curiosity allayed in the slightest when a
closer examination revealed the ichthy-
illogical fact that this deposit consisted
OF millions of peculiar fiat, shapeless
sort of jelly-fsh, smaller than the hand,
rounded in contour, with a slightly
raised ridge running what would seem to
be fore and aft over the back. Every
body looked and wondered, but the
wisest-and there are some perfect Sol
onions in that city-could not make out
what they We're, or what such sudden
and singular phenomenon meant. The
next day all the bright color had faded
out, and the gelatinous deposit, although
giving out strong, unpleasant odor,
dried up and soon disappeared. These
facts are vouched for by responsible par
ties, and should they meet the eye of sci
ence, we beg that their imperfect men
ton may be considered prayer for
light on this blue mystery.

The Horrors of Chinese Warfare.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Shanghai of the Chinese
rebellion, gives thrilling account of the
capture of Manas by the government
troops and of the terrible scenes of blood
shed which ensued. The Mohammedan
commander of the insurgents sought and
obtained permission to surrender, and
marched into the government camp with
some 5000 fighting men, armed to the
teeth. The government generally order
ed them to throw down their arms, when
they suddenly made a rush upon the
besiegers, who had, however, been sus-
pecting this movement and who soon re-
pulsed them. The insurgent leader was
captured and beheaded before his line of
battle, and his troops were all finally
captured and killed to man. Another
body of the government troops had,
meanwhile, captured the city and put
to death every one of its inhabitants.
sparing only the old men, women and
children. Hai-gen and other insurgent
leaders were captured alive and put to
death with extreme torture. The corpses
OF various other leaders, together with
the remains of the g Prince of Pure Re
hgion," so called, who had died or been
slain during the siege, were sought out
and exhumed and cut to pieces before
the troops and the survivors of the
rebels as public example. In short,
all the able-bodied males in the city
were mastered, to the number of several
thousand. The account of this affair is
not taken from rumor, but from the of
ticiai reports of the imperial viceroy and
of the commander of the government
forces, General Kin Shun.

The stupid fashion among ladies of

DAGMAR.
BY ROSE TERRY COOKE

The beautiful Princess Dagmar,
The darling queen lay dead
With lilies on heE bosom
And roses round her head.
Cold, and fair, and silent,
Upon her bier she lay,
And weeping lords and and gentlemen
Were bearing her away;
When down the city caseway,
Wherein the mourners passed,
In bitter grief and raging woe
The king came riding fast.
The dead heart in her bosom
Leapt up his voice to near,
The dead lips opened softly,
She rose upon the bier;
Straight to her husbands smitten soul
a smile OF heaven she sent;
a word of love and pleading,
Then back to death she went.
To die double dying,
Oh, fate, he spared to met
When death has kissed mine eyelids
And life has set me free.
Thou, dearest, do not call me.
Do not utter word;
Let not my peace be broken,
Ny hard-won slumber stirred.
Leave it for one Voice, dearer,
bearer even than thine
When the resurrection morning
on heaven and earth shall shine,
To send its trumpet clangor
Through star, and sod, and sky,
And call His dead, where'er their bed,
To the life that cannot die.

piled in icy tones. ''Sir never should

them to me. I would not SO far demean

A REPORT having reached the city on
Tuesday to the effect that the remains
of a man had been discovered on the
beach one mile south of Mann's Pier, a
ccroner's jury was impanneled and, ac-
companied by a physician, repaired to
the scene. The remains were found as
reported, but subsequent inquiry devel-
oped the fact that corpse had been
washed ashore at that point over two
years ago that the authorities of the
town of Newton were notified and SUBJ
sequently buried the remains on the
beach near where they were found, and
that the waves had washed away the
earth and brought them again to the
surface. No inquest had been held and
evidently no coffin furnished either.
The remains were brought to this city
and decently inferred. An Investigation
of the matter will be had and some in
teresting facts developed.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

In the month of April, not quite four
months past, No. wheat sold III this
market for S1.9O. Yesterday the same
grade of wheat for September sold at
99l cents. This is certainly an extra
ordinary change, and, we think, scarce
~ justified by the circumstances, but
strong bear movement both in Chicago
and Milwaukee has exerted a potent IN
fuence in breaking prices. And Why
are values so suddenly broken up2-
Merely it is because of the prospect of a
great harvest. But it should be consld
cred that both the granaries of the
farmers and the bins of the elevators on
the 1st of August, 1877, have not been
SO thoroughly cleaned out in any season
for twenty years. Barely A, 600 bush
els was the stock in the Milwaukee ele-
yators yesterday. The crop of England
is below an average and the quality Is
poor France will not raise more than
enough for her own consumption. The
war between Turkey and Russia will
continue through another year, and is
desolating so many wheat growing dis
tricts that we doubt whether Russia will
have much wheat for export. Turkey
will certainly have none. The famine
in Hindoostan will assuredly diminish
her export to England The wheat crop
of California is SO scant that no one puts
the deficit at less than 1000. 900 BUSH
els, though many, and for good reasons,
estimate it as high as 10000, 600 bush
els, and the quality is not the best
These considerations induce us to think
that all the wheat which the northwest
ern states have raised during the year
1877 will be needed for the consumption
of the world, and we think at fair prices
too. No one wants inflated values on
the farmers staple, but it does not seem
fair to push the prices down merely on
a supposition that the stock is bountiful.
The corn crop has not yet matured.-
That may be very moderate one, for 1t
is observable that in years of the most
bountiful wheat yield the corn is scant,
and Uice verse. The year 1876 was the
poorest wheat year known in the north
west, and yet it was one of the most pro-
life corn years in its history. However
bountiful may be the wheat crop, if the
corn should be comparatively scant, that
circumstance alone would give frmness
to the wheat market. = Wisconsin,.
