An Interesting Old Building.

FROM the Baltimore Sun.
The State House at Annapolis. erected
more than hundred years ago, is, under
the renovating hand of Mr.. Geo. A,
Frederlcks, Baltimore architect, "re-
newlng It's youth" Complaint had been
made from time to time at sessions of
the Legislature of the state of decay into
which the building was falling, the bad
ventilation, poor heating arrangements,
&c, so that the last Legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 for its repair.
The walls were found in some places to
be dangerously impaired in strength, and
they are being made secure by underpin-
ming and strong girders where required.
The floors of the entire building have
been renewed, and new slate roof will
be put on. The building has been newly
rooted three times, as Mr.. Fredericks dis
covered on examination, and each time
the old roof of shingles or tin has been
allowed to remain, and was merely COW
cred over by the new one. New heating

An Extraordinary Tragedy

SpalatZo, in the Austrian Province OF
Dalmatia, was recently the scene of a
most extraordinary and terrible tragedy.
| Opposite parish church lived house
holder named Tonic, who, becoming sud
denly a prey to mad rage, killed his wife
and then his father, who endeavored to
restrain him. When the police came
they found that Tomac had everywhere
barred an entry and taken up a com.
handing position with gun and plenty
of ammunition. Being compelled to
turn back, and in the meantime Tomac
put bullet into young man VIII
crossed the street, and severely wounded
a woman. The police then drew cor
don around the building, but Tomacs
gun commanded a space between the
house, church, and top of adjacent
streets, and no one dared to cross a street
or approach the young mans body. At
length clergyman who had great infiu-
ence over Tonic bravely went forward
and implOred him at last to give up to
his care his child. The fathers answer
to this appeal was by throwing out her
limbs one by one. Then he resumed his
fusilade. The authorities would not
allow the police to fire, inasmuch as
they deemed the man bereft of reason.
SO an only course was to continue
blockade. All sorts of devices were
suggested. Some were for firing on
Tonic with Supplying cartridges, some
for concentrating the fire engine force
on the building, and all this time the
unhappy sexton OF the parish was send
ing up from the bell tower a wall for
food, having gone to ring the bell Just
before the tragedy began, and an only
mode of egreSs being in front of the
maniac's window. After the blockade
had lasted two days and Tonic showed
no signs of giving in, it was resolved to
keep up perfect hail storm of stones at
all windows of the building while the
door was forced The mailman fled TO
the garnet, but it was no easy matter to
disarm without killing him. Altogether
he killed four and wounded five.

WAR NOTES.

THE Montenegrins attacked Sptz Oh the
9th inst. and were defeated. leaving 23
dead and so wounded.
THE Russian official Messages publishes a
decree ordering new levy of 21S,OO0 men.
So great levy is unprecedented.
4 SPECIAL from Constantinople, via
Athens says several Turkish officers have
been shot for the loss of Arabian. Court
martial is still sitting
IT is rumored that the Russians will at
tempt to cross the Danube at Nicopolis and
the Turks are massing troops there.
a DISPATCH from Ragusa, dated June 9TH,
says that the Turkish attack on Montenegro
from the Albanian side has commenced.
Ali SAID with the whole of his forces adj
vanced from Spuz up the Zela Valley his
object being to reach Daniloisad. The
Montenegrins met the attack on the hill OF
Maljat. Fighting is still raging, but up to
noon the Turkish assaults were repulsed.
Five hundred Turks had been killed The
Montenegrins fight against enormous odds,
there being $4,000 regulars and irregulars
against them on this side alone.
THE opinion prevails in military circles
They expect such decisive successes in Asia
| that every condition of durable peace may
be secured from its effects.
\ DISPATCH from st. Petersburg SAYS that
Count Schouvaloff' is the bearer of a note
from Russia to the English government, the
purport of which is that the Car desires no
increase of territory in Europe, but demands
the cession of portion of Armenia, " from
Bayazid to the coast, but not including
Erzeroum."
THE Turkish army of the Danube is esti-
mated ut 700, and 1t is said to lack every
| thing that is Indispensable in tactical unity
| and system. 1t is slightly deficient in ar
tillery and very deficient in cavalry.
THE village of Stozer was attacked and
destroyed on the 31st ult., by the insurgents.
The Montenegrins lost Ill killed and 10
wounded, and the Turks AS killed.
THE Russians are in great force on the
Danube opposite Turtukai, and the indica-
tons point to the probability of their at
tempting the passage at that point.
THE New York Herald correspondent at
Schumla reports that the fall of Arabian has
produced painful impression on the Turk
ish troops there. The number of deserters
has largely increased since the news of the
disaster and the men are very much discour-
aged.
DURING the night of May 10Th the Rus
slams defeated and routed Moussa Pasha's
Circassians, at Bekli Ahmed, near Kars.
Bekli Ahmed was burned. kars is amply
provisioned, butas IA precautionary measure
the garrison has been put on half rations.
On the Danube the Russians have at last
occupied their chief positions and their lines
extend from Galatz to Kalafat, but the for
midable river bars their way, and until the
stream returns to its normal summer level
it will be perilous if not physically imposs-
bic to take the army across. 1t is now
hardly possible that the Russians can ex.
ecute this great military operation for the
next three weeks.

How Flood Got Rich.


A correspondent of the New York
EUening Post, at San Francisco, writes
as follows:
Mr. Flood (of Flood q O'Brien) is
about so years of age, of robust appear
ance and pleasing address He was
ready to answer all our questions, and,
moreover, volunteered somewhat of his
personal history, which | reproduce in

adapted myself to the business of a car
penter, at which / earned SIG dav.
But had the gold fever like all the rest,
nd so l struck out for the mines. Well,
we had a rough time that winter. 1t
was as much as we could do to dig our
selves out of the snow, without digging
much gold. But l stuck to it, and |

so | went home and took my family out

found that SO, 900 was not fortune. So

into the Hale & Norcross mine. and that
gave me my first big start. I've been in
the mining business ever since. never

WASHINGTON.

THERE are indications that a formidable
opposition to the treasury policy of with
drawing the 81 and 81 greenbacks from cir
culation will be manifested at the next ses-
sion of congress. The argument against the
retirement of the notes is that they are a
great convenience to the people who have
small remittances to make by letter, and
who do not live near a money-order office.
THE new postal treaty with Italy goes
into effect July 2. The following western
money-order offices will be authorized to
transact Italian international business :
Iowa-Burlington, Davenport, Dubuque
Michigan-Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kala-
mazoo, Lansing, Marquette. Minnesota
Carver, Henderson, Mankato, ST Paul,
Winona. Wisconsin-Fond du Lac, James
vile, Madison, Milwaukee and Racine.
\ WRONG impression prevails that Secre-
tarv Sherman has ordered the payment of 81
and 3 notes TO cease. No such order has
been given, and notes of these denomina-
tons continue to be furnished to assistant
treasurers throughout the country when re
CURED.
SECRETARY SHERMAN has appointed a
committee to make thorough examination
into the conduct of the business transacted
by the bureau of statistics of the treasury
department.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT DEvENS has sent for
District Attorney Howard, of Utah, to Wash
ington, and the latter is now GA his way
there to consult in regard TO the Mormon
trials.
IT is understood that Mr.. Marsh, our Min
lister to Italy, viii be relieved within few
months.
THE secretary of the treasury prohibits
district attorneys, hereafter from receiving
over $4,000 in fees.

Extending the Meat Suppy.

One OF the most enthusiastic hippopha-
gists of Paris, NJ. Decroix, not content
with advocating the use of horse-fesh
for food, now would have have people
eat the flesh of deceased animals. He
has made it a practice to eat the flesh of
horses killed in his service, which had
CHAMBERS or farcy land whether thoroughly
or partially cooked, he found no evil re-
suits to his health. Further, ever since
1861 he has eaten the flesh of all animals
that have died within his reach, no mat
ter from what disease. He affirms that
one may eat with impunity the flesh,
cooked (not putrid), of any of the
domesticated animals, no matter what
they died of-glanders, typhus, hydro
phobla, etc. SO far from the flesh of ami
mails which have died naturally having
repugnant appearance or a peculiar
flavor, he states that he has placed the
two kinds side by side in the same pan
and with the same sauce, and, in serving
to different persons, many of them con-
nOisseurs, the meat of animals that have
died natural death has invariably been
pronounced superior to that from the
slaughter-house?
