Ernest Morris, the Young Ex-
p1Orer.

The New York World of July 8 says
Mr.. Ernest Morris, Indiana's young
naturalist and explorer, who described
in letters to the World his exploration
of the Rio Negro during his last stay in
Brazil, is to sail to-day for Para in the
steamer City of Para, to make another
attempt to ascend the great but almost
totally unexplored lilo tapura, which
flows into the Amazon at Teffe, 1,SOO
three mouths, that at Teffe being the
most important and the most distant, be-
ing 25O miles higher up the Amazon.
MIR. Norris on reaching Para will at
once push on to Teffe, which will be his
headquarters. He Has little outfit and
will buy at Teffe one of those rather
clumsy canoes in which the Indians
navigate the river. In this he will en-
bark with his possessions the crew will
be composed of about 20 Indians. Mr..
Morris, the last time he was in Brazil,
tried to ascend the Japura, but was pre-
vented by the tribes of hostile Indians
living on the eastern bank about 80
days. journey or $50 miles from Teffe.
He had only sttiall company with him
at the time and was not able to buy per-
mission to pass up the river This time
he is better able to pay toll, and besides,
guided by experience, will keep as close
as possible to the western shore, which
is nearly six miles from the eastern.
About two months or two and half
months journey from Teffe are the Falls
of the Japura, which Mr.. Morris was not
able to reach on his last trip. These falls
will, he thinks, be serious obstacle,
as the canoe must be carried around
them. When he passes the falls, if not
prevented by the natives, he will go on
up the river into district almost unex-
plored, and inhabited only by Indians.
A large portion of it is covered by for
ests which are yearly flooded. Wander
ing Indians have carried to settlements
of whites wonderful stories of the min
eral wealth of this region, and handfuls
of gold-dust have been procured from
time to time in support of their tales.
Meeting the Japura with the Rio Negro,
and thus forming an islandin the mid
die of Brazil several hundred Thousand
square miles in area. Mr.. Morris will
try to find this branch, and if he can he
will pass along it to the Rio Genera,
then returning to the Amazon. Mr..
Morris also expects to find forests of the
cinchona above the falls. These trees
were found by an explorer who ascend
ed the neighboring Rio lea in 1875, near
its head. At present large quantities of
bark are sent down the Rio lea. If Mr..
Morris should not find the branch, or
should not be able to past to the Rio
Negro, he will continue to ascend the
Japura to its supposed source among
the unknown mountains in the United
States of Colombia. The Japura is sup
posed to be 1000 miles long, and Mr..
Morris believes that it will take year
or year and half to explore it. He
intends to travel slowly, stopping wher
ever he pleases as long as it is necessary
to study and collect specimens of the
flora and fauna of this district,

A TERRIBLE double tragedy was en-
acted in the town of Edgington, near
Rock Island, ILL.,, on the morning of the
9th. Miss Robbins, young lady of
2OI had been for some time receiving
the addresses of q young man named
Tom Richards, against the expressed
wishes of her parents and the stronger
protests of her brother, Lee Robbins.
An engagement followed, not
withstanding these objections on
the part of the young lady's
family, and the wedding day was fixed
for the 9th, the ceremony to take place
at Rock Island. At about half-past 5
on that morning, while the young lady
was in her room making preparations
for the to her important event, her
brother entered and made final appeal
bornly refused, and he thereupon drew
revolver and shot her dead, after
which he placed it at his own head and
fired, blowing his brains out. Lee Rob-
bins was % years of age, and had the
reputation of being young man of
very quiet demeanor and most exempla-
ry habits. Richards is said to be q
drinking man, and was not considered
in many other respects a suitable match
for the young lady whom he would have
wed.
AN agreement has been signed on be-
half of the original promoters to the

Inter- Oceanic Canal Company. Sub

will be opened in London, Paris, Frank
fort and New York simultaneously
The caution money Of 1000, 600 francs
required bynKenezuela towards the
canal has been already paid. De Les
seps stated at the last meeting of the
Geographical Society that he does not
think the total expenses of constructing
the canal will exceed $50, 600, 900 francs.
The difficulties OF the work he says are
not so formidable as those which had
been overcome in the construction OF
the Suez Canal, as a railway already
exists along the course of the proposed
Panama Canal, with large town at
each extremity

There lisa pious smile going the rounds

Baptist and presented herself for bap-
tism. Now Miss Wilson weighed two
hundred pounds, including her cork leg,
which was full length leg, and modelled
in due proportion. She maGe an at
tempt to reach the officiating clergyman
breast-deep in the water, but her cork
leg was siezed with unwonted activity.
Miss Wilson knew nothing of the law of
specific gravity, and was not to blame.
She was suddenly reversed in the water.
The minister, feelingly, righted her up,
and observing the grinning OF the spec.
tators at the solemn scene, asked Miss
Wilson ito please not to do that again.
He was innocently ignorant of the cause
OF the disturbance of her equilibrium.
He gently led the maiden out, when,
with q wild shrek, she fell backward,
and her lively leg shot out of the water.
The minister made half dozen efforts,
but could not keep the convert right end
up long enough to baptize her. At length
she told him of her trouble, and lie called
for weight to ballast her. The spec.
tators fled precipitately to give vent to
their feelings. Miss Wilson fip-fopped
ashore in indignation and amazement,
and went and joined the Presbyterians.

TAKE WARN1NG. On Tnesdoy Michael
Kutt's house, on Meadow Valley street,
was entered by that well-known young
ster Dan Cadigan, and as Is his usual
practice, the trunks was overhsule3. a
lot of irhamable stuff was taken out and
piled in the stove and large amount of
coal oil poured on it. The young rascal
vas lust about to set fra to it, with the
purpose, we suppose, of burning down
the house, when he WAS detected by
Joseph Poujade, who made him decamp.
This is not the only vicious child in
town. There are number of others,
some of whom broke into the primary
school, breaking off the lock on the desk
and stealing the contents therein. Our
purpose 10 mentioning these things. is
to say that such children should be taken
in charge by the authorities and cent
away from their parents, who neglect
looking after them. II these doings are
permitted TO 60 on longer we will have
the town burned, aud the sooner the
matter is nippedfin the bud the better it
will be for the safety of Phoebe.
HIS REwARD.-George Patton, one Of
Lincoln county's Representatives, left
here on Monday morning last after a
stay Of about week. When he returned
here his maddened and betrayed con-
stitusn!s gave him the cold shoulder;
and the merited contempt of the COM
munity was duly his portion. His
cheek in returning here was unequaled
after his having in every instance with
out exception voted to betray the people
who had elevated him to the position he
held. He felt the contempt of this COM
munity, which was the cause of his
leaving again, as he had steady work if
he wished it, but the treatment he met
with was too. much;for him, as he him
self expressed it, "every one treated him
as If he was dog" so that be was glad
to hide his head and crawl away to more
congenial climes. We hope that Dayton
and Allen will take warning and not in.
