SIV Old Bismarck.

There seems to be general feeling of
disgruntlement over the decisions of the
recent European congress. Russia is
dissatisfied, but keeps quiet about it..
Italy, however, is openly growing, and
claims that sAustria, having obtained
Bosnia, ought now to give her the South
Tyrol. Servia is grumbling, and thinks
she ought to have had Bosnia, instead
of Austria. Roumania is mad because
she has lost Bessarabia. Greece is sur
ly because she gets next to nothing for
doing nothing. Last of all comes
France, who is every day getting mad
der and madden because of England's
special convention with Turkey, by
which she occupies Cyprus, and, as the
French think, threatens Egypt. For
how many of these soreheads ia Bis
marck responsible? In occupying
Cyprus as part of her scheme for pro-
tecting Asiatic Turkey aginst Russian
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and agreeing to oppose
Russia if she moved her frontier beyond
Kars and Arabian, did he foresee that it
was inevitable Russia would extend her
frontiers and thus provoke a bloody war
with England? When the English &C.
cupied Cyprus, did he forseee that it
would superinduce constantly-increas-
ing GOODNESS between England and
France, and soon smash the strong
alliance that has stood in his way SO
long? Did he foresee that in each case,
or in any case, Germany would be the
gainer2 And yet the cynic in the
spiked helmet, who could have removed
every possibility of trouble between the
powers by word, allowed them to go
on, in the interests of peace !-Ch5cago

Great Engineering Feat.

The Sutro tunnel, which was finished
Monday night, is one of the great en-
cheering projects Of modern times,
"a, 100000 and eight years time having
been spent in it's completion. Four
miles it runs under ground, straight as
an arrow, to strike the rich silver de-
posits of the Comstock lode, 1000 feet
under Virginia City, New, at which
depth it is SO hot the water is often at a
temperature of 100 deg, and miners can
handle the pick but five minutes at a
time before stopping to cool off. Here
tofore 5000 tons of waste rock have been
daily hoisted that great distance, and
the mines have been kept from flooding
by pumping the water into system OF
cisterns 200 feet apart, at an expense of
some 100000 annually. Now the
water can run out through the tunnel,
and the ore, on which Congress has given
the tunnel company the right to charge
So ton, can be conveyed on it's double
track, while Carson river, at the tunnels
mouth, can be utilized to send COM
pressed air into the mines, to cool and
ventilate them and drive machinery.
The Sutro Company expect to realize
largely on a town laid out at the mouth
Of the tunnel, as well as from the act of
Congress which gives them all mines
not previously owned for 1000 feet each
side of their line.

left, must have been an extensive and
magnificent establishment. decorated in
the highest style of art and embellished
with statuary. paintings, fountains, bath
ing-rooms and gardens. Beneath the
portico, and below the level of the oar
dens, was the wine cellar, long arch
way, not less than 100 feet in length. A
long row of wine Jars, incrusted in lava.
each about four feet high, stands in this
vault. On the night of the eruption the
owner appears to have lost the love of
kindred In his effort to save his own life,
for his skeleton was found, and that OF
an attendant, near the garden gate, the
one holding in his bony grasp the key of
the villa, while the other was carrying
purse, containing 100 gold and silver
COINS, and some silver vases. While
thus enoeavoring to escape to the sea-
shore the members of his family had
taken refuge in the wine cellar. where
seventeen of their skeletons were found
near the door, as if they had attempted
to retrace their steps after finding that
the place afforded no sufficient shelter
from the fiery tempest. From the gold
bracelets on the necks and arms of nearly
all OF these skeletons, it would appear
that they were mostly females. Two
were the skeletons of children, whose
skulls still retained some strands of
beautiful blonde hair. After they had
persisted, probably from suffocation, the
floor OF the cellar was inundated with
tine alluvium, saturated with the hot
water that poured from Vesuvius, which
hardened upon the bodies and took casts,
not only of their forms, but of the most
delicate texture OF the linen they wore
and of the jewels which adorned their
persons. One cast of young girl in
the museum possesses exceeding ele-
gance of form-the neck and breast es-
pecially are perfect models of female
beauty. We also examined the spot
where the skeletons of a mother and
three children were found, all closely
folded in each others arms, which were
decked with gold ornaments, elabo-
rately worked, and enriched with pend
ent pearls of great value.

THE FIRST CLIENT.


John Smith, young attorney just admitted to the
Was solelnn and sagacious as-as young attorneys
And frown of deep abstraction held the seizin Of
The result of contemplation of the rule in shellys
case.
One day in term time Mr.. Smith was sitting in the
court
When some good men and true of the body of the
county did on their oath report
That heretofore, to-wit: upon the second day of
May,
A. d. 1877, about the hour of noon, in the county
and State aforesaid, one Joseph Scroggs, late
of said county, did then and there feloniously
take, steal and carry away
One bay horse, of the value of fifty dollars more
less
(The same then and there being of the property,
goods, and chattels of one Hezekiah Hess);
Contrary to the statute in such case expressly
made
And provided; and against the peace and dignity
OF the State wherein the venue had been laid.
The prisoner, Joseph Scroggs, was then arraigned
upon this charge,
And plead not guilty, and of this he threw himself
upon the country at large;
And, said Joseph being poor the court did gracious
ly appoint
Mr.. Smith to defend hira-much on the same
principle that obtains in every charity hos
pital where young medical student is often
SET 10 reculIy a serious INJURY TO an organ OF
a joint.
The witnesses seemed prejudiced against poor Mr..
Scroggs,
And tAe District Attorney made thrilling speech,
in which he told the jury that if they didn't
find for the State he reckoned he'd have to
"wak their logs -
Then Mr.. Smith arose and made his speech for the
defense,
Wherein he quoted Shakespeare, Blackstone, Chtty,
Archbold, joaquin Miller, Story, Kent, Tup.
per, Smedes, and Marshall, and many other
writers, and everybody said they "never
heerd SIGH bust of eloquence."
And he said: "on this hypothesis, my client must
go free;''
And: "Again, on this hypothesis, it's morally i'm
possible that he could be guilty, don't you
see 2"
And: Then. on this hypothesis, you really can't
convict
And on, with forty-six more hypothesis, upon
none of which, Mr.. Smith ably demonstrated,
could Scroggs be derelict.
But the jury, never stirring from the box wherein
they sat,
q Returned verdict of "guilty," and His Honor
straightway sentenced Scroggs to three
year term in the penitentiary and heavy
fine, and the costs on top of that;
and the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and
danced and sung;
And when they asked him the reason of this strange
behavior, he said: 8" It's because got off SO
easy-for if there'd ha' been few more of
them darned hyp0thesise, should certainly
have been hung"

shrugged his shoulders as if lump of

"You must be mistaken, grandfath-
er; st. Louis is the hottest place in the
world. People are dying there from the
heat by DOZENS"
Oh, know they are now,: and
don't wonder at it-people have become
SO everlastin'ly delicate these days that
they can't stand nothin'. Now, when
lived in st. Louis it was inhabited by a
different breed Of cats. In them days
the regular temper'ture was from $50 to
800 in the shade"
Here the member got out of the
room, unperceived by grandfather, who
continued:
"That made it kind of pleasant and
healthy. But one summer, right in the
middle Of harvest, the thermometer fell
down to hundred an five, an I never
see such distress in all my life. People
just literally froze to death. If your
grandfather hadn't been tougher than a
pine knot-hole, I'm sure he wouldn't be
here now to tell it. But I had lots of
heavy clothin' and managed to worry
through. There's somethin' in the air
now that reminds me of that desp'rit
time, an I'm afraid history is to be re-
peated, and he began blowing on his
fingers ends, at the same time turning
around to see what effect was being pro-
duced by the recital.
Finding himself alone, he said:
"An right; I can stand it if they
can. [ was only tellin' the story that
they might know little of the history

my part I'll go down to the ice-house.

peal the silver bill. This will doubtless be
considered too radical a measure, and &here-
lore It has no prospect of passage; but pro-
position will be made to modify the act so as
TO make all denominations of silver coin sub
sitlary, and 8 legal tender for limited
amount. IL the report which comes here iS
correct, that India is about to adopt the gold
standard, and there seems to be good reason
to believe 1t, the price will decline very much
lower, as then the United States, Mexico
and China would be the only commercial
countries retaining the double standard
1t has been stated here that the Presi-
dent, in his annual message, and the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, in his report, would re-
commend the repeal absolutely of the silver
bill. But while the President and Secretary
have had but several conferences on this sub
ject, which has also been alluded to In cabinet
meetings. they have come to no such conclu-
sion. But they are agreed upon the point
that there is necessity for further legislation
on the subject and they confidently expect to
mature some plan whereby silver may
be made to facilitate and assist resumption
instead Of embarrassing it, as must be the
case Il the present act remains without modi-
fication. This plan will be submitted to Con
gress at the opening Of the session.

eOvery of the BODY or knowledge
inf the ThIqveR.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1G-The Stewart grave
robbery case is still mystery. Many rl-
mors are anoat but few facts are obtainabIe
The Daily Ne,us says, on authority, that two
suspicious persons, now under arrest, are
suspected Of completely in the robbery, OF
Stewards body and were arrested for that
crime. The Ne1ca further claims to know
that the robbers entered the cemetery at SIT
o'clock on tho morning Of the robbery.
It Is further said that one of the gang. be-
coming frightened voluntarily made a full
detailed confession, and has since aided the
police In various ways. These are all the
facts the authorities deem advisable to make
public at present. It is reported another ar
rest yyass made this afternoon. The police, it
is stated, have ever since the robbery was
committed had under surveillance every per-
.son connected with the contestants side of
the Stewart will case. One Of the counsel, S.
E. Keeland. has been under suspicion Of collu-
sion with the robbers, and his every move
ment been shadowed. What the result has
F1een is not known. Important developements
are predicted to occur within few days.
