THE vIcroEIo MASSACRE.

The destruction OF Victcrio and his band
is confirmed by later dispatches, but
though the details are still meager, enough
is told to leave the fact hardly doubtful
that the affair was less a fight than mas
sacre. It was indeed stated in the first
account that the Indians were almost des-
titute of ammunition, and this was evil
IDENTIFY the real and only cause of their ex-
termination. That Mexican troops would
have faced and fought them on anything
like equal terms cannot be believed.
1t appears that Terescas and his troops
succeeded in surrounding Victorio, and
that as the latter's band had no ammu-
milton, it became possible to shoot them
down with almost as much impunity as
though they had been cattle. The fact that
Terescas only lost three men in the
affair, and killed sixty Apaches, proves
this view of the case to be the correct one.
Victorio was a terrible fighter, as the
United States troops know well. He had
repeatedly bafiied and not seldom defeated
them in fair engagements, and had his men
possessed ammunition no Mexican soldiers
could ever have destroyed the formidable
old savage.

THE DEMOCRATIC STAMPEDE.

1t is becoming more apparent every day
that the Democratic managers have COM
pletely lost their heads, and that they do
not know which way to turn. They en-.
tered the campaign under series of delu.
sions, which the October elections dispelled,
and since then they have felt the necessity
of changing front without seeing how to do
so. Their attempt to hedge on the tariff
question only sank them deeper in the
mud, and made their candidate ridicu-
lous. Their previous attempt to hedge
on the currency question had done them
more harm than good. Their en-.
deavors to explain away the solid
South had all been Ineffective. Their
efforts to blncken the character of General
Garfield by chalking 500" all over the
pavements and doors of New York. had
only caused them to be laughed at. And
their last shameless forgery has capped the
climax of dishonesty and incapacity, and
made it plain to the country that having
abandonedsall their professions and prime.
pies one by one, the Democracy has at leas.
fallen back upon its last ditch, and is
reduced to pelting its opponents with
the mud which lines it. In fact

L9IsEo ONCE MoRE.

The unspeakable Turk" appears to
have outgeneraled all the European Powers
by an adroit use of those processes of lying
which the Democrats might envy the
Porte. The surrender OF Dulcigno was
promised, and on the strength of that
promise the threatened naval demonstra-
ton was abandoned. Then followed pa
LAYERS, gradually encroaching upon time
until the season during which naval opera
tons would have been possible had passed.
And now that the Sultan thinks be has
nothing to fear this winter, behold, the
surrender of Dulcigno begins to fade into
improbability. and everything has to be
begun over again. 1t is quite unlikely that
Mr.. Gladstone can now obtain any as
sistance in coercing the Porte, and unless
he is prepared to undertake the work alone
it will have to be postponed, and postponed
indefinitely. Decidedly the Porte has
achieved a neat piece of diplomatic roguery.

ZEE s1LYER QUESTION.

The Nation has an article on the silver
question, comparing the course of the two
parties upon the issue, as shown by their
votes in Congress. The analysis indicates
that the Democrats have from the first
been found voting almost solidly for the
most mischievous legislation, and that
while many Republicans have been wrong
in the same way the Republican majority
has always been on the safe side. The
Nation shows that unless the coinage of
silver is checked soon, it will inevitably
result in the expulsion of gold, and the
substitution of silver as the standard of
value, and that "the significance of the
change will be very great to that portion
''of the community who have laid up
something against rainy day. All bank
deposits, savings and other, will become
silver instead of gold deposits. That is,
"they will fall in value about thirteen per
scent. Annuities, life-insurance policies,
&C. and all fixed incomes not specifically
payable in gold, will decline in
g the same ratio. And it ends its discus
sion of the subject by saying 1.-The con-
"clusion is irresistible that, as regards this
question, the Republican party is the
+" safer of the two, and, if not wholly
" trustworthy, is much more so than its
" antagonist, while the course of General
" Garfield himself leaves nothing to be de-
MED" There can be no doubt that the
silver question viii loom into 6rst.rate i'm
portance during the coming winter when
the Presidential question is determined,
and that it is of immense consequence that
Congress should be in the hands of the party
which can alone be trusted to legislate at
all wisely upon this issue. The Democrats
have committed themselves to course
which would give the country a silver in
stead OF gold standard, and therefore
they are quite incapable of dealing intelli-
gently with the subject.

HOW TO pAcrry THE SOUTH.

When the South wanted to extend

gun. To hev stopped it then wood hev bin
an easy thing. All the North he'd to do

When the North nominated the feend
Linkin, the South pertested. IF the North
he'd heedid that protest, and let Breckin-
ridge hev gone in, all trouble would hev
been avoided.
When the South pertested agin the rane

the North Good hev avoided enragin the
South by lettin NV EN- alone. But, ez If

opposed the South.
Doorin the bloody and fratricidle
struggle the South wuz willin at any time
to end it, but the North wuz in the way.
It refoozed to lay down its arm, and finally
the hoomiiated South he'd to submit.
Even at this late day the South is still
willin to forgive, even il it can't forget.
The way is simple. All the North hez
got to do is to repair the damages done by
its hard .heartedness and stiff. neckednis.

BETRAYED BY THE rRuTE.

The very amiable and worthy occupant
of the position of British vice Consul at q
port in the far East has often expressed to
| his American fellow residents his great
desire to visit their country, and make
himself familiar with some of its institu-
tions. His ideas of the West had been
formed from perusal OF the works OF
Cooper, and it is to be feared that his IN
terlocutors had purposey abstained from
disturbing his somewhat highly colored
expectations. Finally furlough came to
him, and he made ready to carry out his
cherished plan of trip home by tbs way
of the Pacific Ocean and the United States
IntrodIetions were given him to TRASHY
practical jokers in San Francisco, which ne
presented, ON arrival, with expressions of
vehement desire to encounter indians and
hunt buffaloes. This, he was told, would
be easy, as both abound in the neighbCT<
hood OF the Cliff House and in the peace
full and prosaic suburb Of Oakland. An
expedition was planned and carried out,
and the British brother, armed TO the teeth,
performed great deeds in the encounter
with practicable Indians and buffaloes

and circus or menagerie. ENulting III

covered with glory, he departed for New
York and England. His fame stood HIM
in good stead at dinners and other social
gatherings during his entire vacation, pre-
coded him ON his return to his post, and
made him quite a hero among his fellow
eXiles. No American could find it in his
heart to disturb it, and all might have
gone well to this day had he only
confined himself to his character of
amateur Leather stocking. One day,
however, countryman of his came to

IERREsTIAL MAGNETISM. Balfour
Stewart. in letter to Nature, July !,
1856. discusses the connection between
auroras and magnetic storms. Since we
have changes produced in stationary strata
by a moving magnet, cannot the reverse be
true? May wenot have discharges produced
in moving strata by a stationary magnet /?
The sun in this case would by convection
currents produce changes in the atmospher-
ic strata, and the earth as permanent
magnet would cause electric disturbances,
which in turn would react upon terrestrial
magnetism. Working upon this hypothe-
sis, Balfour Stewart has been led to the
fact ''that certain magnetic diurnal
changes lag behind corresponding solar
changes, just as meteorological changes
would do. and he also states that his OBJ.
servations mp to the present appear to show
that an increase or decrease of solar active
ity corresponds to an increase or d.
crease of both magnetic and meteo-
Biological activity. The probability
of a progress of magnetic phenom-
ena from west to east, corresponding
IN character to a progress of meteorological
phenomena, is alluded to. Magnetic weather
appears to travel faster, however, than
meteorological weather.

THE EUCALYPTUS IN MAI-iRIAL DIS

in a recent number of London Nature.
The testimony in support Of the efficacy Of
eucalyptus in this respect, tie writer as

In marshy districts, where the fever-tree
abounds, fevers are unknown. and in AL
gerian Corsica, where the experiment of
planting the trees on the strength of their
reputed virtues was systematically made
some years ago, malarial fevers have en-.
tirely disappeared. From Algeria, es-
pecially, the evidence of its virtues is very
convincing. Consul Playfair reports, for
example, that large tracts of land have
been transferred by the agency of the
fever-tree and that, wherever it was cul-
tivated, fevers are found to diminish in
frequency and intensity NJ. Gimbert re-

THE CAPTURE OF CoUsrERrgIrERs.

The Government detectives have Just
succeeded in capturing formidable gang
of counterfeiters and forsers, and it is
said ths% one OF the number is so skilllul
that bonds forged by him have deceived all
the experts and been pronounced genuine.
H. rs is alleged, he is better engraver
than any in the employment of the Gov
ernment, this result is perhaps not sur.
prising Now that this gang of forgers is
in custody, however, it might be well to
ascertain whether any Of them have lately
been employed by the Democratic National
COMMITTEES. OF course it is not to be sup
posed that the chief counterfeiter would
have executed so clumsy forgery as that
which Mr.. Barnum has just published, but
it seems possible that some of the under
strappers of the gang might have done the
Job.
