YayDO Justice.

The last chapter in the Zazoo tragedy
is as disgracefpl as the first. The Grand
Jury OF the county has declined to find
an indictment against the man who
shot Dixon in the back, and there is
great local rejoicing over the decision.
The Yazoo "Herald" says the jury was
one of the most intelligent the county
ever had, that all fair-H nded men are
satisfied with its finding, aud that it is
to be hoped that the enemies Of the
"youDg gentleman" who committed
the indiscretion "wi i'll cease from this
time henceforth TO speak of him as ons
who bad taken the life of another with
out cause or any provocation to justify
it," 1t then observes With the nice
sense of justice peculiar to the bull
dozers: "Ths law is as powerful in
Furnishing the wicked as it is in shield
ing the innocent"

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

Mr.. William b. Riddle, wealthy resident
and manufacturer of Norwich, CT, has been
arrested, charged with poisoning his wife,
who died some months ago under suspicious
circumstances.
George Arthur Gardner, aged 49, of Brook
lyn, n. Y. died q most horrible death recent
ly, from arsenical poisoning, caused, as al
legged, by Il dentist using arsenic to kill the
nerve of an aching tooth. An investigation
of this case brought out the fact that this
deadly poison is largely used by dentists for
the purpose mentioned.
Lulu George, the young lady who shot her
self at Cincinnati on account of the death of
her lover, it is now stated is likely to get
well, notwithstanding the doctors declared
her wound was mortal.
Two negroes, Tom Jones and Bill Rear
son, were recently hanged by mob at
Whites Creek, in Davidson County, Tenn.
They had, as stated, confessed to the muir
der of Dick Woods, a storekeeper, on the
9th of September last.
Peter McManus, a so-called Mollie Ma
guire, was hanged at Sunbury, Pa, on the
9th, for the murder of Coroner Hesser in
1874. John O'Neill, sentenced to be hanged
at the same time, was reprieved, and in his
dying statement McManus eXonerated O'Neill
from all knowledge of the crime.
A serious collision occurred on the Michi
gan Central Railroad, Il short distance east of
jackson, about l O'Clock on the morning of
the 10th, by which a number of lives We're
lost and many persons injured. The Pacific
Express train, composed of seven sleepers,
four day coaches and mail and baggage cars,
left Detroit 40 minutes late, and was run
ming mt high rate of speed, when
it came into collision with Il
switch-engine standing on the main track.
The tender of the express locomotive was
telescoped into the baggage-car about half
its length, and this forced its way into the
mail-car. The first passenger-coach was
thrown off from the track and escaped with
comparatively slight injuries; the second
and third coaches were smashed to atoms !;
the fourth coach was not badly damaged,
and the sleepng-coaches remained intact.
The occupants of the forward ears were
mostly emigrants and second-class passen-
gers, Il large number of them being French
Canadian wood-cutters, en- route for the
ished. The engineer and fireman of the
passenger train We're both instantly
killed; those of the switch en-
ginc escaped by jumping just in
time to clear themselves. The response
bility for the accident seems to rest between

MISCELLANEOUS.

In response to an urgent appeal for arms
and ammunition from Lake City, Gov. Pitkin
on the 9TH dispatched Il special train for Den
yer, over the Denver and Rio Grande Road,
with supplies rs requested, under the charge
of Major General David j. Cook, who was
authorized to enlist volunteers and to assume
command of State troops in the San Juan
country, and to take such measures as might
he necessary to defend that region against
hostile Indians. The Secretaryof War or
dered arms and ammunition to be supplied
from the Rock Island Arsenal, for the use of
volunteers.
A courier arrived at Rawlins from Milk
River, on the Sth, bringing the welcome
intelligence that Capt. Payne and his be-
leaguered troops had been relieved by
Gen. Merritt, whose command reached
them on the morning of the 9Th. Captain
Dodge, with company of the Ninth
Cavalry from Bear Creek, had previously
succeeded in joining Capt. Payne's com
mand, reaching them ON the morning of

GEORGE WILSON,
How Old Is Glass ?

The oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing any thing like date, is IL little
nodded lions head, bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh dy-
nasty, in the Slade collection ut the
British Museum. That is to say, at a
period which may be moderately placed
as more than 1900 years b. c., glass
was not only made, but made with a
skill which shows that the art was moth
ing new. The invention of glazing pot
terry with film or varnish of glass is so
old that among the fragments which
bear Inscriptions of the early Egyptian
monarchy are beads, possibly of the
first dynasty. Of later glass there are
numerous examples, such rs a bead
found at Thebes, which has the name of
Queen lIatasoo or Hashep, of the eight
eenth dynasty. OF the same period,
are vases and goblets and many frag-
ments. 1t can not be doubted that the
story preserved by Pliny, which assigns
the credit of the invention to the Phnni-
clans, is SO far true, that these adven-
turous merchants brought specimens to
other countries from Egypt. Dr.Schlie-
mann found disks of glass in the eXcava-
tions at Mycen9, though Homer does
not mention it rs substance known to
him. That the modern art of the glass
blower was known long before is cer-
tain from representations among the
pictures on the walls of n tomb at Benz
Hassan, of the twelfth Egyptian dynas-
ty; but Il much older picture, which
probably represented the same manufac-
ture, is among the half-obliterated
scenes in chamber of the tomb of Thy,
ut Sakkara, and dates from the time of
the fifth dynasty, n time SO remote that
it is not possible, in spite of the assidu-
Gus researches of many Egyptologers,
to give it date in years.
