The New-Hampshire Republicans took high
ground with reference to the denial and
ab.idgmcnt Of tie rights OF the blacks by the
Southern States The resolutions adopted de-
clare that the Republican party is sacredly
pledged TO see that the rights of all citizens
shall not only be conceded in theory but shall
be freely exercised and call upon the Gov
eminent to use all its constitutional powers
to that end. They also demand that in all
cases where a State abridges the freedom o.
a citizen. or impedes the exercise of suffrage,
or ovcnules a lawful majority by turbulent
minoiitcs, or adopts or tOlerateS murders and
Whppings as election practices, and does not
enact OF enforce laws to suppress them. the Fed
eral Government shall interfere to protect such
citizens There are other contingencies III
which they deem it right that the Govern
ment should interfere, either to protect OF TO
aid. such as a failure to provide for proper
education. For the correction of these evils
they advocate not only the enforcement OF
existing laws. but the enactment of new laws,
if necessary, and of additional amendments
to the Constitution.

The Board of Aldermen have adopted an
ordinance respecting the sale of poisons, which
seems calculated to lessen the dangers con-
nected with it. Druggists are required to
keep all poisons in a compartment separated
from the ordinary drugs, marked Poison"
and locked. This certainly should make one
class of druggists mistakes impossible.

short time to allow for the reclamation OF

does not say so, a short time to allow the

marsh, and clambered up to dry land.
Those at the stern jumped overheard

When I left Wards Island in the even

the waters edge. You could stand up
in row boat and look right down into
her. Nothing is left but her keelson
and few bottom timbers, braces, &c.
Her smokestack and engines are still
standing. can in no way account for
the fire except by guess work. The
engineer and firemen were always very
particular to see that no inhammable stuff
lay about. Engines and boilers were
considered in excellent condition. The
only way l account for it is the posi-
bility that hue blew out, opening the
furnace door, and scattering the fire a
considerable distance around. The
slight noise l heard may have been a
flue bursting. l am certain the boiler
did not burst. think two.thirds of the
passengers must have jumped over be-

MADAGASCAR W1Dows.-Upon the
death of any man of position or wealth,
on the day of the funeral the wife
is placed in the house, dressed in all
her best clothes, and covered with her
silver ornaments, of which the Sihanaka
wear considerable quantity. There she
remains until the rest of the family re-
turn home from the tomb. But as soon
as they enter the house they begin to
revile her with most abusive language,
telling her that her aoiniann or her fate
has been stronger than th. of her hus-
band, aud that she is virtually the cause
of his death. Then they strip her of her
clothes, tearing off with violence the or
naments from her ears and neck and
arms they give her coarse cloth, a
spoon with broken handle, and dish
with the foot broken off, with which to
eat; her hair is dishevelled, and she is
covered up with coarse mat, and under
that she remains all day long, and can
only leave it at night; and she may not
speak to any one who goes into the house.
She is not allowed to wash her face or
hands, but only the tips of her fingers.
She endures all this sometimes fora year,
or at least for eight months; and even
when this was over her time of mourning
is not ended for a considerable period
for she is not allowed to go home 10 her
own relations until she has been first di-
vorced by her husbands family.

NIAGARA FALLS DRY.-"The Falls
of Niagara were dry for a whole day."
said the Rev. DR.. T. B. Fuller, of
Hamilton, Ontario, in recent lecture.
The accuracy of the story was questioned,
and now the clergyman publishes the
Sworn statements Of several persons that
they saw the phenomenon. They say
that it occurred on March 81, 1S4S. At
5 o'clock in the morning so little water
WAS dribbling over, that a man and his
daughter walked half way across from the
Canadian shore, near the edge of the
precipice. The girl stuck pole into n
creyice of the rock and left handker-
chief flying from the top. Not content
with this feat, they went halfa mile above
the fall, and rode part way across the
bed Of the river in wagon. Others did
similar things. The jagged rocks at
the bottom below the falls were exposed.
This strange condition lasted until night
fall, when the stream began rapidly to
swell, and before morning was as large
as usual. DR.. Fuller's theory is as fol-
lows: "The wind had been blowing down
Lake Erie, which is only about 80 feet
deep, and rushing great deal of water
from it over the falls; it then suddenly
changed, and blew this little water com.
paratively speakiug) up to the western
portion of the lake; at this juncture the
ice on Lake Erie, which had been broken
up by these high winds, got jammed in
the river between Buffalo and the Cana.

back the waters of Lake Erie"

A BRAVE Boy RUsHEs INTO BLAz-
ING Room AND SAVES HIS BABY
BRoTHER.-Fire broke out at 8 o'clock
this morning on the top floor of the five
story tenement house, No. 968 Third
avenue. The floor is occupied by two
tenants, Henry Seib and Jeremiah Nor
rissey. The fire was in the Morrissey
family's apartments, but quickly seized
upon the partitions and extended to the
adjoining room. The Seib family made
their escape without difficulty the Nor
risseys with more haste, but safely. But
in the confusion of the first fright a baby
was forgotten lying on the floor Of Mrs.
Morrissey's kitchen. The room was
ablaze with fire on all sides, and tongues
of flames reached out many feet from the
doorway, playing about the entrance,
when Oswald Morrissey, the 12-year old
brother of the imprisoned child, rushing
back through the hallway sprang into
the fexy gap and seiziug the child car
ried it out in his arms. Not unscathed
though in his retreat; his clothing
caught fire, and before the remedy of
rolling him in blanket proved effectual
he was badly burned on the back and
limbs. The baby, from the first uncou,
scious of any danger. was unhurt, and
crowed gleefully over the bright fire with
which the fremen now began to battle
and soon came off victors. The youthful
hero was taken to the Fifty-ninth Street
Dispensary, and after his wounds had
been dressed there he was sent home and
made comfortable in another tenants

Hancock and the Republicans.

The following letter was handed to the
New York World by Mr.. Leonard W.
Jerome, of New York City, with request
for its publication;
"1lajor- General Rancock-MY DEAR
GENERAL: I take the earliest opportuni-
ty to congratulate you upon your nomi-
nation and to assure you, lifelong Whig
and Republican that l am, of my most
hearty support. belong to very nu-
meron5 and very staunch old silver.gray
Republican family. With one solitary
exception, there never was one of them
known to vote the Democratic ticket, but
1 venture 10 say they will to man vote
for you. They cannot consistently do
otherwise.
"You, sir, embody the views and SEN
timents in regard to the great questions
of the day that we have entertained since
the war closed. They are the same that
actuated General Grant when he laid
down those liberal terms of surrender to
General Lee. They are the same that
actuated my poor friend Raymond, when
he battled so manfully in the committee
of Congress against the savage policy of
Thad Stevens. l believe General Grant
would support you to-day, did not the ex.
igencies of his situation forbid it. And
Henry J. Raymond, were he alive, would
support you too, unless the exigencies of
the New York Times restrained him. He
was compelled at an early day to smother
the sentiments he had expressed in the
address of the Philadelphia Convention,
to abandon his career in legislative halls
and to change the tone of the Times or,
as Mr.. Jones, our business manager and
partner, insisted, the paper would be
ruined. Il believe I offered to pay the
damages at the time, but that was con-
sidered impracticable.) 1t was a bitter
pill, but it had to be swallowed. Thad
Stevens had succeeded through Congress
which misrepresented the country in en-.
grating his policy upon the Republican
party. And though disgusted, it was
fastened upon them and there was no
way of getting rid oft. Thus for years
vast number of us, good Republicans,
have been compelled to be helpless sup.
portcrs of policy we believe to be the
very worst that could be devised. An op-
portunity is presented us now for the first
time with any show of success to vote in
accordance with our convictions, and
l am sure we shall do it most joyfully.
With great respect and esteem, believe
me yours faithfully,
LEONARD W. JEROME.
