EASTERN DISPATCHES.

NEW YoHx, April g. Under the
heading Of What Did De Lssseps
Gsin7" the Times says: De Lssseps has
finished his pilgrimage to the Western
Continent and set out on his return to
Europe, and 1t is pertinent to inquire
how much he has gained for the promo
ton Of his great project for sevsring the
isthmus that separates the two oceans at
Panama. He has visited the scene Of
his proposed operations, and . technical
commission, brought over for the pur.
pose. has declared the work to be entire
" practicable, and has net down the
cost Al about $l6s. 600. 900. The pro.
isctor has made Q tour to some OF the
principal cities OF this country for the
purpose Of commanding the enterprise
to our people. He was received with
the respect and admiration which the
prestige Of his past achievements was
calculated to excite /; but Il was probably
less, rather than greater, than II would
have been II he had had NO new designs
which were supposed TO aEset n ns.
tional interests. His proposals were
respectfully listened to-, even Of Wash.
inRton ; but there II NO evidence that
they are regarded with favor. He stirred
up the Monroe doctrine and provoked
the declaration OF p~retensions on the
part OF our government which will
probably be put In Q ridiculous attitude
BY the failure OF bis scheme. With ths
supplsnsss OF the diplomatist he pro.
fssssd to regard these p~rstsnsions as I'm.
Objectionable. and claimed that they
furnished . new security for the purely
commercial character Of his undertaking.

CINCINNATI. April s.-The Enquirer
prints reports from . large number OF
points in Ohio. Indiana and Kentucky
upon the condition Of the wheat crop
and prospects for fruit. From these II
appears that from 10 to 20 per cent.
greater acreage Of wheat was sown in
1879 than the previous year. and that
everywhere. except In some parts Of
northwestern Ohio and central and
northern Indiana, the prospects are good
for an unusually fine yield. As to fruit,
the reports are almost uniform that there
will be sn abundance Of all kinds unless
injured hereafter.

A GLASS MOUNTAIN.

Another marvel recently brought to
light in the Yellowstone Park of North
America, is nothing less than noun
tain of Obsidian, or volcanic glass.
Near the foot of the Beaver Lake a
band of explorers came upon this re-
markable mountain, which rises in
columnar cliffs and rounded bosses to
many hundreds of feet In altitude
from kissing hot springs at the margin
of the lake. AS it was desirable to pass
that way, the party had to cut road
through the steep CLASSY barricade.
This they effected by making huge
fires on the glass to thoroughly heat
and cxp pand it, and then dashing the
cold water of the lake against the
heated surface, 50 rs to suddenly cool
and break it up by shrinkage. Large
fragments were in this way detached
from the solid side of the mountain,
then broken up small by sledge ham,
mers and picks, not, however, without
severe lacerations of the hands and
faces of the men from flying splinters
In the grand Canyon of the Gibson
river the explorers also found preci.
pices of yellow, black and banded OBJ.
sidian, hundreds of feet high. The
natural glass of these localities has
from time immemorial, been dressed
by the Indians to tip their spears ant
arrows.

The st. Louis Republican thinks
that the electoral bill to be reported to
Congress will probably be supported
by the democrats, with a fow excep-
tions, and will be unanimously OPP
posed by tho Republicans, who object
to the features which give to Congress
the right of Inspection and supervision
over the returns. It's fate Is doubtful.
The unanimous opposition Of tho Re-
publicans, reinforced by those Demo-
srats who do not approve 1t, may
suffice to defeat 1t; and in that case we
go into the next presidential election rs
we went into the last, with tho dis
puted points of tho law all open
and offering a wide margin for con-
trOversy.

Senator Mcdonald says that the
black refugees who have made their
appearance in Indiana come from a
district in North Carolina which gave
twelve or fifteen thousand Republican
majority, and the Senator asks why
they should leave for political reasons
and why they should come to Indiana?
"Were not the States between full OF
vacant lands-homes for the million?-
Pennsylvania and Ohio. What should
make Indiana the land of promise to
the modern exodus 2"

A BANDITS WIDOW CARRIES ON THE
BUSINESS.
(London Teleyraph.l

Southern Italy has not as yet sue
ceeded in radically curing the chronic
disease of brigandage under which !,
has suffered from time immemorial
1t seems that the district of Saranvarc
has recently been tormented by an un
commonly severe attack of the bandit
epidemic, spread over its vine clad
hills and smiling valleys by an armed
horde of sanguinary ruffians under the
leadership of a lovely and romantic
damsel, Maria Croci by name. This
amiable adventures, whose personal
attractions are reported to be little
have been fortunate enough to escape
from her clutches, was formerly the
bride of gallant mountaineer who
occupied distinguished position In
the band at present commanded by
her. This brave fellow unfortunately
met with his death by the rife of
carabiniere whilst diligently practicing
his professional avocations, whereupOn
his afflicted betrothed picked up his
gun, raised it towards heaven and
vowed to avenge his cruel fate. She
has fulfilled her pledge with touching
conscientiousness. Elected captain OF
the association by her dear departed's
comrades, she has become tho terror OF
the whole district above-mentioned,
where she has earned dread reputa
ton for ubiquitousness by the rapidity
of her movements. Here, there and
everywhere by turn, she burns down a
farmhouse one day, plumbers church
the same night, cliffs" a herd or two
OF cattle next morning and carries n
nunnery by assault before she retires
to her well-earned repose. Troops are
out after her In half dozen directions,
but she has hitherto managed to evade
their impertinent interference with her
