CHICAGO,
MAYOR HEATu's sTATEMENT.

MAYOR HEATH's STATEMENT
Chicago, july %. The following is sent
at the request of Mayor Heath, and is
iudied by him:
Many of the dispatches from this city
have greatly exaggerated the disturbance
during the last few days. At no time have
The lives or property of law abiding citizens
been seriously endangered, ana but small
proportion OF railroad employees or other
workingmen OF Chicago have been engaged
In the riot BY the collisie between the
rioters and authorities Thursday and Thurs
day nights nine persons, all rioters, have
been Killed and perhaps thirty, more or
less, woundtd. No damage to property
has been done at any time and bat slight
Interference with business has occurred
The city is now entirely free from rioters
and the strikers are rapidly returning to
their various employments. There is no
probability of a further outbreak or any
disturbance of business interests of the
clly. However We're it not for the prompt
and efficient arrangements made by the
authorities TO suppress the disturbance the
trouble would probably have been quite
serious.

The Lamoille news. (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1877-1881, 1877-12-19
A q LONfer'S ParaliSe.N

The ohio State Journal publishes a
letter from Gen. Comfy, in which Homo
lulu is sketched with free-and-easy
hand, as a loafer's paradise. The natives,
he writes, are the most careless, improv-
ident, laughter-loving people in the
world. They have no winter to lay by
forever the proverbial rainy day needs
nothing there so they dance and sing,
and deck themselves with garlands all
the day long. Men go here with great
garlands of the lovliest flowers and green
leaves hanging in festoons, around the
neck and shoulders, down the body,
around the hat-everywhere. These men
are not the tops and loafers of the race,
but the bard-working fellows-the herds
men, the hackmen, even the draymen go
about adorned in the most exquisite
taste, with flowers and leaves wreathed
into forms of beauty which come to an
American like revelation in art. They
have no wealth-nothing that would
satisfy an American-but they are
always laughing, singing, playing jews
harps or making floral wreaths. The
Hawaiian knows that there will never b,
winters day to provide for, and tina
it will always be the same-yesterday
to-day and forever.

Saved by Bad Spelling,

An instance has recently occurred in
France where mans life was saved by
bad spelling, and it is probably the only
case in history, recorded or unrecorded,
where, GEOGRAPHY proved itself benef-
cial. Haas, desperate convict, who
murdered q jailer at Poissy, was found
guilty, but the foreman in writing the
verdict, "Yes, by majority" spelled
the word majority" with "g" in
place of the 81" in the last word. On
this error the case was carried to the
court of cessation, and, it being held
that the misspelling of this word consti.
tuted n fatal error, new trial was
granted. The second jury, animated by
a feeling of sympathy for the prisoner,
who had been kept in suspense for an
unusual length of time by the various
proceedings, brought in a verdict Of
guilty, "with extenuating circum.
stances" This clause is always life.sav
ing, and Haas was sentenced to pena
servitude for life.
