The Pacific TideIess,

There is no tide in the middle of the
Pacific around the South Sea Islands; a
phenomenon explained by the probability
that the coral reefs in that part Of the
ocean have the effect of oblterating the
tide wave; for Mr. Russell found, during
his researches on wave; that the slightest
obstacles placed at the bottom Of the
trough were sufficient almost instantly to
obliterate the wave; insomuch that whereas
at first, he bad to wait after the expert
msnt, sometimes fifteen or, twenty minutes
before the surface was still enough to
commence the next; after he discovered
the fact, he could at pleasure quiet the
surface by elevating certain pieces ofwood,
which, in general, lay even with the bot
tom. Now, the coral reefs were just such
obstacles and the tidewave being clearly
proved d wave of translation, he had little
doubt that they would furnish an explsna-
ton Of the fact.

Gigantic SWindle.

A most gigantic swindle was brought
to light here to-day by the arrest Of j.
r. Ham, Edward l.. Stevens, and
George Miller, on a requisition from
Coy. Hubbard, of Texas, ON a charge of
forging land titles and issuing deeds for
large tracts Of land in Texas. The
swindle originated with Ham and man
named Thomas Tullis, of Austin, Texas.
Ham lives here, and, through his pursua-
sions, Stevens and Miller were brought
into the scheme. Stevens, who is law
yer and a son of Judge Stevens, of this
city, is credited with having gone into
the operation innocently at first, by buy
ing Il, 900 acres of Texas land of Ham,
and subsequently became infatuated
with the money making plan, and acting
freely with the other parties engaged in
it, and was known in Texas as the Kan
sas City lawyer, the better to enable
them to carry out their scheme Ham
and his confederates had made duplicate
copies of notorial and other seals, and
had obtained the signatures of many
officials. They also had printed here
blank forms and perfect copies of deeds
necessary for their operations. All titles
and patents representing either State or
Government lands used by them were
forged. An immense amount of land
has been conveyed by them under many
aliases, and to many different parties.
About year ago the attention of Cover
nor Hubbard was called to the matter,
and looking into it monstrous swindle
is detected, involving both this State
CTexas) and the United States. The au-
thorities at Washington were informed,
and Special Agent Foster was sent out
here, who obtained clue, which has
been closely followed ever since, re-
sulting in the simultaneous arrests to-
day of sixty persons, in different parts
of the country, who belong to the gang.
No less than thirteen Court Houses have
been burned the past year to destroy evi-
dence that could be brought against the
swindlers. Ham, Stevens and Miller
left for Texas to-day in charge of officers
from that State. kansas City (lno.) J

Curious Mail Matter.

Game, fish, seaweed,. tobacco, leeches,
frogs, snakes and lizards were sent
through the British postofice during the
past year; some in letter packets, others
hidden away in newspapers in breach of
postofice rules. A horned frog and two
live lizards arrived thus from the United
States, and were delivered to their con-
signees. A live snake was less fortunate.
It escaped from its packet, and was
found, without any address, in the Holy
head and Kingstown Marine postofice,
and was thence forwarded, as unclaimed
property, to the Dublin Geological Gar
den. The London Times says: We
have ourselves received what purported
to be an inclosure of Colorado beetles,
but we destroyed the whole parcel I'M
opened, and cannot, therefore, speak
positively as to the contents.

Douglas.

Senator Douglas monument is at
length to be pushed rapidly to compile
ton. A new and stronger foundation is
to replace the present one. It is sixteen
years since the "Little Giant of the
West" died in Chicago, at the early age
of 45. He was Attorney General, of ILL
inois at %; Secretary of State at 27;
Judge of the Supreme Court as %; elect
ed to Congress at 80, and served four
years; elected to the United States Sen
ate at 81, and served in that body until
his death. He is the only person who
ever entered upon third term in the
Senate, served fourteen years, and died
at the age IS.
