IN Irish

The barracks in the west Of Ireland have
been ordered to be prepared to take a full com
plement of troops. The government has deter
mined to REINFORCE the troops in view Of the
increasing turbulence growing out of the Land
League agitation, but the Duke of Cambridge,
who is Commander in Chief of the army, has
notified the government that no troops are at
present available for service in Ireland on &C
count Of the demands Of India. Parnell has
issued a circular to the trrder and farming
classes of Cork, inviting them to meeting to
be held Saturday next, for the purpose of
establishing a Land League on a new basis, in
tended to give the new body wider scope.

1t is plain that the epizootic which first ap-
peared in Boston a few days ago, will spread
over the entire land, but that it will prove fatal
does not seem to be generally apprehended. In
Cincinnati majority of the street car horses
are afflicted with it, and many of those owned
by private individuals. 1t is moro than amere
cold, as is witnessed by the discharge at the
nose, but it is nothing to compare with the dis.
ease in its virulence of 1872. 1t has appeared
also at Indianapolis, Chicago and at Spring
field, Ill. Horses afflicted are given what is
termed half work, as it is thought they do bet.
ter with some exercise.

"A Horrible Tracey.

In Lake County, Illinois, lives a family
named Baker, consisting of a father, mother,
and two daughters, the elder fifteen years of
age. Ayoung man named Sellers was in the
employ of Mr.. Baker. During the absence Of
Baker, Sellers, who had become very much at
tached to the elder daughter, insisted that she
should promise to marry him.. This she re-
fusedto do, whereupon he drewa revolver from
his pocket, and pointing it at a dog on the rug,
shot it dead. He then shot the mother and
then the daughter, aged fifteen, after which he
placed the weapon at his own head and shot.
Every shot was instantly fatal. The entire
tragedy was Witnessed by the younger daugh.
ter, who tells the above story.

Mr.. Russell; member of the Ute Commission,
has arrived in Washington with the ratification
papers signed by SIT Ute Indians. The amount
due the Utes is SIS, 600. Arrangements have
seen made for the payment of this sum in ac-
cordance with the terms of the bill. Mr.. Russell
expresses the opinion that the work of select
ing the new Iandf, surveying them, and making
allotments in severalty, work which must nee
essarily be accomplished before the Indians can
be removed, will probably not be commenced,
owing to the lateness of the season, until next
spring, and for this reason he thinks the re-
moval of the Utes can notbe effected until mex,
year.

unique cure for bone felons:
As SOC as the disease is felt. put di-

remain for six hours, at the end Of which
time, directly under the surface of the
blister, may be seen the felon, which
can be instantly taken out with the

At the Black Diamond Steel-works at Pitts
burg, Pa, the other day an anvil was cast
weighing one hundred and sixty tons. This is
the largest casting ever made in this country,
and it was witnessed by leading iron manufac
turers from different parts of the country. The
anvil will be used for q seventeen-ton steel
hammer, which is now being made by Krupp,
the celebrated gun-msker of Prussia. The
molten metal was run from five furnaces built
for the purpose, and occupied six hours exactly.
It will take six months to cool the casting.

Causes Of the Present Figure Of the

The Comptes Rendus of the French
Academy contains q remarkable paper
by M. Faye on the physical forces which
have produced the present figure of the
earth. After remarking on the use of
the pendulum in determining the figure
of the earth from series of measurements
of the intensity and direction of the
g~ravitation force at different parts of the
earth,s surface, he draws attention to the
very curious fact that while the direction
and intensity of gravity are affected per-
ceptibly by the presence of hills such as
Solicitation and Arthur's Seat, or even
by masses as small as the great pyramid
of Gizeh, gigantic mountains such as the
Himalayas, and great elevated plateaux
and table-lands, do not affect the
pendulum indications i any sensible
manner, except in certain cases where
upon elevated continents there appears
to be a veritable defect of attraction instead
of the excess which might be expected.
Indeed, the observations are sufficiently
striking to seem to point to the supposi-
ton that not only under every great
mountain, but ever under the whole of
every large continent, there were enor-
nous cavities. More than this, the at
traction at the surface Of all the great
oceans appear too great to agree with the
distribution presumed by Claimants
formula, which is exact enough for most
purposes. Sir G. Airy's~ suggestion that
the base of the Himalaya range reaches
down into the denser liquid interior, and
there displaces a certain amount OF that
liquid, SO that the exterior attraction is
thereby lessened, is one which, inherently
improbable, fails to have any application
in explaining why the attraction above
the seas should be greater than over the
continents. M. Faye propounds the fol-
lowing solution to the difficulty: Under
the oceans the globe cools more rapidly
and to a greater depth than beneath the
surface of the continents. At a depth OF
1000 meters (13, 900 feet the ocean will
still have q temperature not remote from
0 degree c., while at a similar depth
beneath the earth's crust the temperature
would be not far from $50 degrees @.
(allowing 1OS feet in depth down for an in
crease Of one degree in the internal tenn
perature). If the earth had but one
uniform rate of cooling all over it, Il
would be reasonable to assume that the
solidifed crust would have the samt
thickness and the same average density
all over it. 1t is therefore argued tina
below the primitive oceans the earth
crust assumed q definite solid thickness
before the continents, and that In con
tracing, these thicker portions exercised
pressure upon the fluid nucleus tending t
elevate still further the continents. Thu
hypothesis, N. Faye thinks, will, more
over, explain the unequal distribution Q
land and sea around the two poles, tn
general rise and fall of continents beinI
determined by the excess of density G
the crust below the oceans, and by tn
, line or points of least resistance to IL
ternal pressure being at the middle cor
tinents or at the margin of oceans.

attempted to shoot, whereupon a. freighter
fired, killing an Indian named johnson, son Of

the Indians and ~FreIghter~.
Advices from Del Norte state the following
particulars from a reliable source of the killing
of the son of an Indian chief: Thirty miles east
of the Los Pinos Agency, September 90, about
7:30 in the evening, two Indians came whoop-
ing into the freighters, camp of ]. H. jackson,
calling him and his four drivers vile names,
and acting as though they intended to shoot.
The Indian, who is supposed to be killed, fired
one shot, when A. T.. Jackson, nephew of J.
H. Jackson, fired at him. Next day the party
were surrounded by Indian, who demanded
the men who did the shooting the night before.
Agent Berry, Mr.. Meacham, and Captain Stel-
ley then arrived with fifteen soldiers and ar
rested the ~freighters, and put them under n
guard of two soldiers and ten to fifteen In.
dams over night. Previous to the arrest j. s.
Jackson requested protection from a Major,
name unknown, who had two hundred soldiers
under him. But the Major replied that he was
not there to protect whites. The next morning
the freighters were marched to Kline's Ranch,
where the soldiers disarmed them, even taking
their pocket-knives, after which they were dis
missed, the agent and officers stating they were
not in their jurisdiction. Thus these five men
were left defenseless in an Indian country, de-
MED protection by Government officers, who
duhplo lOICt, anu hLeh Tie men udu acleu
in self-defense, excepting Colonel Beaumont:
who, at the risk of censure by his superior Off
GERS, sent a sufficient force to escort them
toward Sagauche. On their arrival at kline's
Ranch, Agent Berry told Jackson to obey Cap
tain Kline's Instructions and they would be
unframed. Kline advised them to proceed
toward their destination, which would have re-
suited in death to young Jackson, who did the
shooting. He gave himself up TO Messrs. Kline,
Hoyt, Holmes, and one Indian, to be taken to
Gunnison City for trial. These men took jack
son, without guard, and started toward Gunni-
son City, and proceeded three miles, when they
reported the Indians overpowered them and
took the prisoner; but it is asserted by a man
who overheard their conversation, that Kline,
Hoyt, and Holmes intended giving Jackson up
10 the Indians when they left Kline's Ranch.
The freighters begged the military officers for
arms to protect themselves, but were refused.
Steps are now being taken north of here to
avenGe Jackson's death as soon as it is def
nitely ascertained.
