IT is reported that the entire crops of
cotton, corn and fodder in the Black
Warrior Valley, Ala, have been swept
away by the rivers sudden rise of 60
feet, which is within two feet of the ter
rible freshet of June, 1872. Plant
ers had just commenced picking
cotton and had not hauled corn and fod-
der from the fields The cotton crop
destroyed is estimated at 10000 bales.
Most planters are ruined. 1t is doubt
full if the actual necessaries of life can be
secured now. Tuscaloosa is about de-
vastated.

IT is said that there will undoubtedly
be an attempt made at the next Con-
gress to repeal the Tenure-of- Office law,
and to restore TO the Executive the pow
er of permanent removal for official
misconduct and impropriety. The ar
gument for the repeal will be that the
law is an obstacle TO civil-service re-
form, and that the President, in order
to radically reform the public service,
should have what the Constitution gives
him-the power of.permanent removal.

A DARING train-robbery was commit
ted on the Union Pacific Railroad at Big
Springs Station, Neb., $50 miles west of
Omaha and 100 miles east of Cheyenne,
on the night of the 18th. Just previous
to the arrival of the Eastward bound ex-
press train, due at 10 AS p m two masked
men entered the station-house, and pre-
senting cooked revolvers at the head of
Mr.. Barnhart, the agent and operator,
compelled him to sever his telegraphic
connection by removing the instru-
ment. They then ordered him
TO hang out red light,
rs the express train did not stop at that
station except on signal. Upon the ar
rival of the train, four of the robbers
entered the express car, and, putting
the messenger under guard, they
proceeded to ransack the car for valua-
bic packages, among those which they
secured being two treaSure-boxes con-
tanning about 100000 in gold. Others
of the gang meanwhile took possession
of the locomotive, putting out the
fire, while the remainder went
through the passenger-coaches, relicv-
ing the passengers of their watches,
pocketbooks, and other valuables.
There were from 10 TO - persons en-
gagged in the robbery, and having Sc
cured their plumber they mount
ed horses and rode away,
their departure being FASTENED, it is
thought, by the timely arrival of
a freight-train. The stolen treasure
was in charge of the Union Pacific
Express Company, and was a
through shipment from California. The
Railway and Express Companies imme-
diately offered a reward of $4,000 for
the arrest of the thieves and recovery OF
the treasure, and a number of parties at
once started in pursuit of the robbers.

TWO MASKED MEN

stepped into the Office of the Station
Agent, Mr.. Barnhart, who was taken
completely by surprise. They pointed
four cooked revolvers at him and order
ed him to tear up his telegraph instru-
ments. Mr. Barnhart tried to deceive
them by taking up his sounder, but they
stopped HIM and made him take out his
relay, which they carried off with them.
The person who gave the orders was
called Captain, and seemed 20 be an in
telligent man, and Mr.. Barnhart is of
the opinion that he is telegraph opera
tor. They then ordered him to put out
his red light. After the red light was
hung out on the track they commanded
Barnhart to get his mail ready as usual.
The expected tain soon came along
and stopped in obedience to the red
light signal.

any thing on them but a little red cord
tied around their waists. One of my

linen cloth over one shoulder, and so

this cloth is wound around the loins.

On the 20 of August a curious case of
poisoning by nicotine occurred in Turin,
Italy. Giovanni Deloges, aged II, visited
that city in compliance with an invita-

The RoumaBlan Occwpation.


Russia and Turkey are both apparently
treaty of Paris by the occupation OF Rou-
msnian territory. According to that
treaty Roumsnia is neutral ground, and
the DO wers who signed the treaty guaran-
teed the principally against foreign iLva-
sion. Roumania was made q semi-inde-
pendent principelity to keep Russia and
Turkey apart. IL anybody is going to
stand up for the treaty or Paris, therefore,
now is the time. After all the declarati ons
OF the Earl Of Beaconsfeld and Claiborne
Hardy, In the British parliament, about
the sacredness Of the treaty, IL might be
expected that England would at once re-
sent the movement OF Russia and Turkey.
Not power stirs, however. France and
Italy annnouced their n ,utrality, and Ger
many looks ut the moyeme nts on the Pruth
and the Danube with apparent indiffer-
ence. Germany could prevent Russia and
Turkey from colliding II she chose. There
may Indeed come ian interdiction from
either England and Germany at any mo-
ment, which will change the whole aspect
Of the Eastern situation; but the fact that
neither OF these powers have protested thus
far looks very much as il they would not
object. Prince Karl has announced his
alliance with Russia. and that appears to
settle .he mattel. lie could do nothing
else. Abdul kerim has ordered his Cir.
cassians 10 tear up the RouDanian rail.
wsys, an Prince X arl Will need all the
help he can get from tle ear. II the Rus
sian headquarters are establi III e d at Buseo,
which l. on the railroad to Galatz, seventy
miles from Bucharest, the ear will be able
to afford abundant protectio to the Kou-
manisns. Buseo is connected by rail with
Bachrest, shursha Opposite Rustschuk),
GalatZ, Jassy. kischenef and Odessa, and
also with the towns 40 miles west on the
Danube, opposite seryian territory. These
railroads Russia will undoubtedly protect.
1t s. probable that prompt occupation Of
Wallaehia by Russls will keep the Turks
south Of the Danube, and Koumsnia will
be spared the tribulation Of becoming the
battle ground Of the two armies.
