Famines, of greater or less severity,
exist in Ireland, parts of Silesia, Italy,
Turkey, Persia and India. The caus-
es are various; in Ireland the distress
is attributed in part to the land system
and in part to the unfavorable season.
In Silesia to scarcity Of employment,
low wages and bad weather. In Italy
to prevailing fever, though the fever
is probably due to the want of food.
In Turkey it Is one of the results.of the
late war, financial disorders and general
mismanagement. Famines in Persia
are indigenous and chronic, due to want
Of irrigation and facilities for the dis
tribution of food. In India, also, fam
ines are due primarily to the want of
rain in season for crops and the dense
ness Of population, but not to want of
means Of distribution. The British
system Of railways and other means Of
communications are such that any part
of that vast Empire can be relieved in
short notice, provided the food supplies
can be had in sufficient quantities. Tax
alton there, as In Turkey, and indeed
in most European countries, is eXCes-
sive and keeps the people poor. Vast
armies, Withdrawing hundreds Of thou
sands of able-bodled men from fields of
productiveness, and converting them
Into consumers as we'll as destroyers, in
time Of war, are maintained at the cost
of the people, who are eaten up by the
very means supposed to be necessary to
defend them against jealous and ambi-
tlous neighbors and to preserve domes-
tic tranquility.

In the cutters; we had fought it as war,

Lincoln was killed on the evening of

the 9th of April, ! was busy sending
out orders to stop recruiting, the pur-
chase of supplies, and to muster out the
army. Lincoln had promised to go to
the theatre, and wanted me to 60 with
him. While was with the President,
a note came from Mrs. Grant saying she
must leave Washington that night.
She wanted to 60 to Burlington, to see
our children. Some incident of q tri-
Alng nature had made her resolve to
leave that evening. / was glad to have
1t so, as did not want to 20 to the thea
ter. SO made my excuse to Lincoln,
and at the proper hour we started for
the train, AS we were driving along
Pennsylvania Avenue, q hOrseman rode
past us on a gallop, and back again
around our carriage, looking into it.
Mrs. Grant said, "There Is the man
who sat near us at lunch to-day, with
some other men, and tried to Overhear
our conversation. He was so rude that
we left the dinlng-roOm. Here he Is
now riding after u.s." Thought 1t was
only curiosity, but learned afterwards
that the hOrseman was Booth. It
seemed was to have been attacked, and
Mrs, Grants sudden resolve to leaYe
deranged the plan. A few days after /
received an anonymous letter from
man saying that he had been detailed to
kin me, that he rode on my train as far
as HaVre de Grace, and as my car was
locked he could not get in. lie thank

conductor locked our car, but how true

DR.. Wachsmuth Of Berlin, says that
If one-third part Of oil Of turpentine is
added to chloroform, the latter can be
administered to an an@sthetic without

Great organ.

The great organ building for the
Stewart Cathedral, atGarden City, CAL,
will, it is thought, be the largest and
most remarkable in the world. When
placed in position it will occupy four
different parts of the Cathedral. The
main body Of the instrument will stand
in the Chancel, where the organist will
sit. In the tower at the west end of the
building, directly behind large stain
ed window, is room in which a part
of the organ will be placed to be con-
nected with the chancel by electricity
The window will be opened and closed
by electrical apparatus controlled by
the organist from the chanCel, which
will afford fine cresCendo and dimin-
nedO effects from that section of the or
gan in the tower. In the center Of the
tower. In the center of the Cathedral
over the ceiling will be placed another
part Of the instruments, to be called
the "echo" which is also to be operated
in the chancel by electricity. In the
chapel underneath the ChanCel there is
to be still another section Of the great
organ, which will be so arranged that
it can be played in the chapel as we'll
as from the chancel. The famous Cen
tennial chimes in the tower are also to
be connected with the chancel by cleo
tricity, so that the organist can strike
them from the keys of the organ. The
bellows will be operated by hydraulic
engines.

years traversed the mountains around Lead
Vile, and penetrated almost every one OF tho
secret receSSes, informs Herald reporter thM
there Is within twenty five miles OF this city one
o! tne most interesting cur1oSities OF nature-a
ver1table glacier, presenting all the character
1st1cs OF the glaciers OF Switzerland, both in
magnitude and motion, Its progress being grad
TALLY down the gulch. The scene of this curl
osity is located in the Mosquito range, about
fifteen miles north OF the pass Our informant
ago, while out on a prospecting tour. It was
then about mile in length, and at the bottom
OF the gulch presented sheer preScipice of ice
not less than $50 feet In height. Later In the
season the place was visited again, and
1t was found that the great mass OF ice had
melted until at its face 1t was not more than
one hundred feet high, the loss from the surface
reducing its length to about half a mile. Again,
early the following year, the place was visited,
and the glacier was found to have regained its
bulk, showing that the accumulation or the ice
and snow during the winter was about third
its gross bulk. The rocks on the side OF this
immense mass OF ice shows the marks of attrt-
ton, proving beyond all controversy that the
glacier Is Ia motion. Indeed the earth at the
root OF the glacier heaved up In great masses
shows that 1t is gradually moving down into
the valley. During the summer large stream
or water flows from the face OF the icy Cliff.
Our informant Is OF the opinion that the glacier,
as IL progresses out OF the deep gorge In which
II was formed, will slowly melt away, and that
OF ordinary travel, and the route to the scene Is
exceedingly difficult, so that 1t is not likely to
be visited except by prOspectors and hunters

OF stepping on an upturned steel rake and get

Interested In learning that the treatment recon-
mended by q skillfu1 surgeon In my own case
was precisely that adopted by the most eXpe-
rfenced stablemen In Chicago with their horses,
which are to an Incredible extent, in the habit
Of 'picking up nails" as tits called, In course
of their work about the city. In a graphic ac-
count OF the stables and horses OF Chicago,
the Times says there are numerous remedies
for this trouble. 1t is generally customary
to draw out the nail, wash the foot and i'll
the hole with tar or something cooling. MANY
persons put horses to work at once or at
least after day or two. This Is risky, however,
as iG Is liable to cause Inflammation and lock-
jaw. But the superintendent who has charge Of
one of the best and largest collection Of horses
In the city, does not allow horse that has
'picked up nail" to go out for week or two.
II a nail has penetrated the foot, It Is with
drawn as soon as found, and the foot Is then
put and kept In bucket Of water, as hot as the
patient will bear it, for five or six hours-a
hOstler meantime, pressing about the wound
so as to obtain as free discharge Of blood as
possible. After that the horse Is kept quiet
and on light diet for week or 50. Under
this treatment there has never been case OF
lockJaw or serious permanent injury from pick
ing up nails, for the last ten years. The pop
ular conception that punctures or wounds from
old rake teeth and rusty nails are specially
dangerous owing to the poisonous character Of
the penetrating substance, Is mostly err0n-
wound, but from an abSceSs forming at the bot
tom and the resulting Inflammation invading
the nerve tissue. II the wound can be made to
discharge the blood and pus, and heal from the
bottom, there is little or no danger.-C0unt1y

The Days of FOrty.nine.

Territorial (Ney.} Enterprise
The record OF the men OF Forty nine teaches
that only persistent prosecution OF one line Of
effort can give success.
The average wages made by miners in 1s4s
were from $50 to $50 per day, and in rich dig
gings $500 TO $500 per week. Most of us would
now be satisfied with this-Sl5 0G0 to 81, 900
year. But men grew credulous, because there
were so many UNREASONABLE mar7els, such as
the occasional finding OF gold in nuggets OF
lying loose in pockets. Early in 1850 two mug
gets Of gold were found, weighing about g
pounds each. Others OF not quite such astonish-
Ing size were brought to light In 1S49. Each OF
such cases set nearly wild the miners who were
toiling at claim that paid less than at first and
very soon they began series Of what were then
known as "ruSheS."
on a branch OF Poor Mans creek, Plumas
county, in 1850, nugget OF gold weighing so
ounces, and worth 81 .664 was found. In half an
hour party took out $, 600 in gold. At valleci-
ia the largest chunk Of gold was discovered. 1t
weighed 26 pounds, and was valued at about
