Longevity Of the Turtle.

Mr.. d. H. Willard, 81 Capital Ave-
nue., says that in the year 1888 on the
east farm, half mile south of the New
ington Railroad junction, he came
across very large spotted box or hinge
tortoise (so-called from its power to
close its upper and under shells firmly
together.) Turning it upside down he
inscribed on it his own initials, and the
date, letting him free. In 1862 he found
the same fellow again half mile west.
He had crossed two bridges or forded
the streams, and three railroad tracks.
The new date was then added, the first
inscription being very distinct. He has
not seen him since until last Saturday,
18th, when he espied him on his west
farm near the New Britain line, about
one and half miles from the first point
named, looking as hale and hearty as
ever, but not increased in size percepti-
bly,. He was duly marked 1878, and
sent on his way, with this query: Sat
this rate of travel, when will you reach
the Pacific coastgr-Hartford Tunes.

The Potter Investigation.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Representa-
tive Potter, Chairman of the Presidential
Election Investigating Committee, has writ
ten long letter TO friend explaining the
purposes and effect of his resolution. The
pith OF the letter is contained in the follow
ing extracts:
"You suggest that to raise the question
about the last Presidential election will
bring on disturbance or revolution. Not at
all. About that possess yourself in peace.
There is not the slightest chance of revOlu-
ton or disturbance. When the whole
country was at fever heat on the
subject Of the election, a way was
found to establish a tribunal to pass
upon the election, and every one submitted
to that determination. The title rests upon
that, and in case that there was franJl which
palpably affected the electoral vote, and
which the Commission did not notice, and if
legal remedy exists for correcting the err
ror, you can not believe that such a pro-
ceediDg underthe law could lead to disturb
ance. If there be no such legal remedy eX
listing, and Congress should hereafter, by
approval of the President, or by two-thirds
of both houses without that APP
proval, provide one, why should
legal determination thereafter had
any more produce disturbance than the
decision of the Electoral Commission did ?
1t is exactly because this is not Mexico, and
because the people prefer determining ques-
lions by legal methOds-and if legal meth
DDS have not been provided, to invent legal
methods of determining them, and to sub
nit to the determination thus arrived at
that this country can not be Mexicanized.
Having accepted the Electoral Commission,
of course we were bound to submit to its re-
suits, but we ought at least TO be allowed to
show, if such was the fact, that the returns
upon which the Commission passed were
procured by fraud"

Healing Raw Surfaces.

Nearly a year ago, DR.. G. F. Waters,
of Boston, made the discovery that the
1bicarbonate of, soda, if applied. to a
burned or scalded surface, promptly
subdued the pain. He performed q
somewhat impressive experiment., to
prove his discovery: he scalded himself
severely, on a space seven. centimeters
broad, all around his wrist. The appli-
cation of the biearbonate Immediately
relieved the pain, and if all had gone
well the burn would have been cured in
week. But the Doctor was careless,
and permitted his cuff-button to catch
and tear the blistered skin, and further
trouble Of the same sort was caused by
friction on the edge of the cuff. The
result was that while the rest of the
burn was soon cured, hepart thus torn
became troublesome,ri suppurating

Waters thought that possibly vegetable

The Earthquakes of Fifteen Centuries.

81 q - q
Minister Bingham has. sent from Ja-
pan a very. interesting paper by. a ma
tive savanf on the earthquakes that have
occurred in that country during the past
1900 years. The numberof destructive
earthquakes recorded is 149. The ninth
century was most prolific irthese, reach
ing %; lin the fifteenth century there
were ID; the same in the, seventeenth;
l3 in the 18th; and Is in the present
century, The recorded average is one
great earthquake every 10 years, but
the 10Th century gives one every five
years. Unusually high temperature
and strange atmospheric, changes have
been noticed as precursors of great con-
missions, especially in the earthquake
which desolated the city of Yeddo in
1893. -rr.f ~f- CO. rnH 1871

MADISON, WIS, May 2t.-The tornado
which passed over this place last night
proyes to have been more widespread and
destructive than was thought last night.
The storm came from the direction of south
west, passing through a section Of the State
where no telegraphic communication Is es-
tablished, hence details of the great destrue-
ton and loss of life are meager. Enough
has been received, however, to show the de-
yastation and sacrifice OF property and life
has been appalling. In the vicinity Of Prim-
rose, % miles southwest Of this city, and
from there through Mount Vernon to Paoli,
the storm seems TO have done WIDE
spread damage. From 25s to 10
barns and farm houses were blown down,
some of them utterly destroyed and the de-
bris carried of in The mighty avalanche of
wind, some OF it falling twelve and fifteen
miles away, one shutter Of house falling
in Lake Mendoza near this city. Some
twelve or eighteen persons are known to
have been killed and large numbers seri-
ously-injured. Graphic yet terrible deserip-
lions are given Of the terrible effect Of the
tornado. Teams and wagons are reported
taken from roads and carried in the air, and
dashed to the ground. At DIR. George
Fox,s, near Oregon, two valuable horses
in pasture were taken up 100 feet in the
air, carried fifty rods, and dashed TO the
earth, killing them instantly. The storm
came from the direction Of Mineral Point,
where it wrought such terrible damage. 1t
raised from the ground seven or eight miles
southwest of Madison, and again striking
the earth near Port Atkins, northeast OF
here. Near Primrose and Paoli, the storm
seemed from half to- mile in width and
swept every thing before it, moving down
trees, fences, barns, houses and shrubbery
as il with a scythe. Further returns may be
had tonight.

the Mayor of East st. Louis, which occurred
people of East ST. Louis are divided into two
bltterly-oppoSed factions, one of which Bow
man leads. He has numerous enemies, some
OF whom would stop at nothing 10 humble him
The story, as told, is that Mrs. Bowman Was
very jealous, and that serious trouble had oc-
CURED between her and her husband. She
mad procured a revolver, and had il with her
when she went to the city hall To bring her
husband home. he having put in some leisure
hours of Sunday in signing warrants. ON the
way home the Mayor noticed the weapon and
asked the meaning of il. His wife replied
rather Indefinitely. They retired-She 10 her

Some time afterward members of the family
were called up stairs. They found Mrs. Bow

he had been aroused by the report of the piS-
tol, and had gone UP stairs, and had found his
vile on the floor, bleeding from wound i'm
the left breast. His theory was that the pistol
mad fallen from her bosom, and had been dis
