Trenton, n. j., July "a fire &C.
Cured at O'Clock last evening in the
Third Presbyterian church, Warren
street, which was completely destroyed
with its steeple 1S4 feet high, an organ
and other fixtures. Four firemen were
in the church when the roof fell, and
several were seriously injured The
loss is about S45, 900, and is believed to
be fully insured, 1t is supposed to have
caught by sky rocket falling on the
shingle roof. The rain fell in torrents,
and but for that there would have been
a terrible fire, as the church was sur
rounded by frame buildings.
Morris Island, an excurs sion resort
one mile below Trenton, was the scene
of terrible accident yesterday after
noon. AS the excursion boat approached
the wharf hundreds of people rushed
toward it to get aboard The wharf
gave way and about IS persons were
thrown into the river. Mrs. Andrew
Johnson, her son, five years old, and a
little girl named Miller, were drowned

The Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Inter Ocean telegraphs an account
of the manner in which Tilden proposes to
manipulate the house of representatives in

Lake George Rattlesnakes.

One denizen of this region can not be-
spoken of without degree of respect
combined with aversion. It is the rat
tlesnake. He flies the haunts of men,
and is gradually disappearing from that
vicinage; but, like inferior races of
man, which, before they altogether
vanish before an advancing civilization,
cling desperately to a few strongholds,
so this reptile yet retains certain posi-
tions around the lake, which are in
tested in way that demands caution on
the part of the tourist. 1t is not I'M
common to see these snakes swimming
in the lake, passing from cove to cove
or isle to isle. Leaning over a boat one
calm day, saw one swimming under
the stern. He raised his head when he
saw me, and the expression of his face
was neither amiable nor assuring as he
darted his head spitefully forward. l
hit him with a stick, when he dived
and disappeared. Tongue Mountain
and Shelving Rock are most infested at
present. An old man and woman who
occupy a solitary cabin on the former
have long made business of catching
rattlesnakes and supplying the market.
The demand is much larger than one
would suppose on the part of showmen
and naturalists, and also from the rus
tics, of the neighborhood, who have the
notion that rattlesnake oil is an infalli-
BILE remedy for the rheumatism. Doubt
less this superstition-for it is nothing
else-arose in the same way as the be-
lief in former days in nevis eye, a
baby's finger, silver from the finger
nail Of mummy. or the baboon's blood
objects remote or difficult to obtain.
The quotation for good healthy rattle
snakes at Lake George averages one
dollar apiece, caught and delivered.
Those who do not mind the trihing
annoyance of being bitten by one are
allowed the free range of the rattle
snake preserves, and may catch them
for nothing. IS. G. W. BENJAMIN, in
Ha,per's Magazine.

Summers AfOOt.

Two years ago, a lad in Michigan
found his health broken down by too
constant application to his books. He
was clever, ambitious boy, the son of
a poor clergyman, and was eager to fit
himself to help the struggling family at
home.
While in this enfeebled state, he took
a severe cold, which settled on his
lungs. The physicians declared medi.
cine to be of no use. The only chance
of life was change of climate. and
his father could not send him to Colora-
do. It was as much as lie could dc to
keep him at home.
In this crisis an uncle, living in the
mountains of East Tennessee, wrote for
the lad to come to him. He found his
uncle's home rough cabin on the top
of high peak, surrounded by pine
forests.
The pure air and the balsam OF the
pines acted as tonic. The young man
lived roughly, slept soundly, ate with
was able, his uncle started with him on
short walking excursions through the
mountains. These increased in length
with his strength.
He remained year, at the end of
which time he was able to make his
twenty five miles day. He went home
a stout healthy young fellow, with an
amount of practical knowledge which
no books could have taught him.
Last summer, walking parties started
from several of our colleges, and we
believe that the idea will gain in popu-
larity during the present year.
In Germany, almost every student
spends his vacation in tramping through
some part of Europe. Our American
boys ought to study their own country,
face to face, by this means.
No more delightful or useful scheme
Of amusement could be found than for
couple or four intelligent, clean.
minded, fun,loving young men to start
out together to tramp through some
State unknown to them. The railway
would soon bring them. say to New
Hampshire, New York, Virginia, Penn
sylvania, or the great Southern noun
tains. Then let them say good-by to
railways, and with their guns, rods,
sketch books, and little money in
their pockets, what happy, beneficial
summer theirs would be!

Quick Trial for Murder.

Ono of the objects of capital punish
ment for murder is to deter men from
the commission of this chief of crimes,
But this deterrent effect depends
largely on the promptness with which
the penalty is administered. If, by tie
aid of skillful counsel, the murderer is
able to defer the trial for months, and
even, as has occurred, for years, the
moral influence of his conviction and
punishment, if they ever do take place,
is far less impressive than would be the
case if speedy trial and prompt execu.
ton of sentence followed the perpetra.
ton of the crime. Yet so numerous
have the ways of securing delay become
that the trial of murderer, however
clear the evidences of his guilt, is al
most invariably postponed till his case
is we'll nigh forgotten, and sometimes
even until it is no longer possible to
secure proper proof of guilt.
No part of the country has suffered
more from this partial or entire defeat
If justice than the South, though the
evil has not by any means been con-
fined to to that section. We are glad
to learn, therefore, that an effort is
making in at least one of the Southern
States to effect change in this matter.
by giving the trial of murder cases, as
the most important that can engage the
attention of the courts, precedence
over all others, civil or criminal, in all
the Superior Cour,s of the State. 1t is
in Georgia that this reform has been
proposed, bill for the purpose having
been introduced in the Legislature,
with good prospect of success, whose
provisions deserve the most careful at
tention of the law makers of all the
States.
The bill provides that every person
indicted for homicide, of whatever
grade, must be tried at the term of the
court in which the Indictment has been
found. The grounds on which post
ponement may be granted are carefully
classified, and no case can be postponed
for longer time than thirty days. A
mistrial is not to go over to another
term, but must be retired Immediately.
Delays arising from appeals or writs
OF error are carefully provided for, and
the time which may be gained by these
means is reduced to the shortest posi-
bic limit.
No one will question the right of
every man accused of the terrible crime
of murder, and in jeopardy of his own
life, to make use of all proper legal ex-
pedients, and to be allowed all the time
necessary to establish his innocence if
he can. But the laws should carefully
discriminate between necessary delays,
granted for the purpose of procuring
testimony not Immediately available,
and mere technical Instructions to the
course of justice, such as are now so
commonly interposed by ingenius
counsel for the sake of gaining time,
and by delay, of weakening the case
against their client. Just but speedy
retribution upon the man.slayer is es.
sential to the full value of capital pun
ishment as o "terror to evil-doers; !"
and this the proposed Georgia law
seems to be we'll adapted to secure

A PRINCESS IN POLICE oTATIoN.-
In Berlin police court not long ago a
servant girl was accused by her mis-.
tress of gross negligence and disobedi-
ence in the discharge of her duties.
When the judge. asked the plaintiff, q
simply but respectfully dressed lady,
her name, she proudly drew herself up
and replied, ~ am. by birth, prin-
cess of Zanzibar" Her declaration, at
first discredited, proved to be perfectly
true. She was niece of the ruling
Sultan of Zanzibar, whose displeasure
she aroused by secret alliance with a
Mr.. Ruele, native of Hamburg, who
had made her acquaintance during his
stay on the coast of East Africa. The
Princess, who became estranged from
her family on account of her marriage
with Christian, followed her husband
to Germany, where she had, however,
the misfortune soon to be left widow.
She attempted reconciliation with her
uncle on her visit to London, but her
endeavors signally failed. the Sultan
even refusing to receive her. On Mrs.
Ruele's return to Germany some infu,
entail friends Of her late husband took
up her case and laid it before the Gov.
eminent, which, owing to her high birth
and merits, granted her small yearly
allowance. She is now living in Berlin
and gaining livelihood by giving les
sons in her mother tongue to those con-
sular officials and travellers intent on
proceeding to East Africa.

Is Russia Nationally Young?

Mr.. Gladstone. in an article in which
he spoke of the ample evidence of a
just and philanthropic mind :" in Alex.
ander H., once described Russia as
" nationally young" No greater his
torical error could be committed; Rus.
STA is an old country, and the tyranny Of
her rulers is Of the most ancient date.
Vainly does the eye search for period
of popular freedom in wandering over
her imperial annals. From the ninth to
the nineteenth century. the grim dark
ness of the long Cimmerian night Of her
oppression is but relieved, here and
there, by pale star Of nascent liberty,
whose uncertain glitter scarcely seen,
rapidly vanishes away. At the very
time Of the formation Of the Empire we
meet with dire despotism. "born with
teeth in its head" And to this hour
the same tyranny, only in crueller,
systematic form, holds the nation in an
abject thralldom, against which the
nobler minds among the better edu-
Gated classes-before all, the aspiring
youth-desperately carry on a desul-
tory warfare. The earliest chronicles
of Russia show US people subjugated
by a foreign warrior sib, called Waran-
gians, who came from the Germanic
North. They we're Norwegians, Swedes,
Angels and Cloths, led by chieftains
whose names are all of the clearest leu
tonic type. 1t was Rurick, with his
brothers Sjneus and Truvor, who laid
the foundations of the realm in the
ninth century, and gave the country its
name and its institutions. Stay, Fin
mic and Tartar tribes, dwelling between
the Finnish Gulf and tie upper course
of the Dnieper, were combined by these
Teutonic Warangians into a Russian"
Kingdom. At that time the word rus
sian" only signifed the conquering
race--even as the name of France arose
out OF that of the conquerors of Gaul,
the German Franks. TO this day,
thirty nine princely families in Russia
assert their origin from the direct male
line of Rurick. Among these families
are the Gortschakoffs and the Krapot-
kins, one of the latter of whom recently
fell victim to the Secret League, while
another Krapotkin lives as an exile in
Switzerland.--Karl Blind, in Contempt
