A HIGHLY DRAMATIC SCENE occurred in
church at Carthage, Ind, last week. John
W, White of Wabash had been brutally muir
dered and, while his funeral was in progress,
Henry Foxwell of Knightstown, the supposed
murderer, was taken into the church and
forced to look at the corpse, He exhibited
great agitation, and the people, who had been
greatly excited at the crime, became frenzied
at this indication of guilt, and rushed toward
the prisoner and attempted to tear him from
the officers. Pistols were drawn, women
screamed and tainted, and. 1.-THE preacher rush
ed into the crowd and exhorted them TO keep
the peace. Through his influence Foxwell
was removed safely but outside the church
the same scenes were repeated, and it was on
ly with the greatest difficulty that the officers
succeeded in getting their man through the
crowd, which clamOred for his blood.

BAYARD TAYLoR's APPOINTMENT 1t is re-
ported that the selection Of Bayard Taylor rs
United States Minister to Germany is not very
acceptable to Pennsylvania politicians which
is Just so much discredit to those politicians,
for the President could not have made a more
fit and suitable appointment for the impor-
tant post in question, or one which could have
been more gratifying to the great body of the
American people Mr.. Taylor is not only Il
man of high literary standing but of excel
lent character in all respects, of wide expe-
rience. sound judgment and first-nte business
qualities. His perfect familiarity with the
German tongue and his extensive acquain-
lance among the leading men of Germany
will both make his appointment very accep-
table there and add materially to his official
usefulness by such a selection and that of
Mr.. Lowell for Spain, and others of like
character, the President gives an earnest of
his sincere cndeavors to elevate the represen-
tation of the Government abro5d, which can
not but be generally appreciated.

THE TERRIBLE FAMNEs which have desc
lated India within the past few years have
given rise to many speculative schemes for
their prevention, and the one which has re-
ceiyed the strongest support is that put for
ward by Mr.. John Bright, which was that the
British government should construct a system
of canals for the purpose of irrigating the
land. thus overcoming the disastrous results
of prolonged drought Supcrfically, the
plan seemed an admirable one, and public
spirited and philanthropic men and and wo-
men in England have taken il up, and have
been urgent that the government should take
active steps in the matter But these fancies
have been suddenly swept ont Of sight 10y the
report of an engineer who has carefully con
sidered the subject, and made estimates rs TO
the cost of the work. From his statement it
seems that, on account of geographical diff
culties, only about two-seyenths of India could
be irrigated in this manner, and the expense
of building the system of canals in this con-
trncted area would not be less than -, jOO,-
OOO, 600. Generous impulses may well be
staggered before this amount A cheaper way
of accomplishing the same end will be the
construction of rail and post-roads, 30 that the
surplus of one district may be used to offset
the wants of another. At present, modern
means of transportation are in a great degree
wanted, and. when the crop of peasant fails
without he can borrow Of his immediate
ncighbors, nothing is left for him but to
starve.
