AT midnight March 18th, an effort

the Lord Mayor of London by placing q
box containing 40 pounds of powder
near the wall to which fuse was attach

discovered by a policeman and cxtin-

the plot of the nihilists to murder every

ing purposes avowed by the nihilists,
publicly and boastfully proclaim their
doctrines and purposes, We think it the
duty Of government to as effectuslly

as though he were guilty Of high treason.
We believe it should be made . crime
even in this country to utter such senti-
ments towards the rulers of other coun-
tries, that should be punished with the
severest penalties. Men of such prin-
ciples ought not to be allowed an asylum

RoAMrNG ROBERT, the Pilgrim Of the
Rostrum, who is the humorist Of the
Burlington Hawkeye, recently had the
good fortune to meet Miss Hawley,
known to the reading public as Sa-
mantha, or Josiah Aliens wife. She
lives a, Belleville, N. Y. and this is
what he says of her:
"The author Of Samantha at the Centen-
nial" Josiah Aliens Wife" Is q lady with
e pleasant, attractive face, quiet and almost
childlike in its frank expression, handsome
eyes, very friendly, eloquent eyes, that see
everything and all its peculiarities of figure
aud character, that comes within the range
OF their quiet, sweeping glances- The dark
brown hair falls in kindly little curls and
pretty crimps over n broad white forehead
the smiles that light up the face at inter
walls display small regular teeth, and when
she speaks, just q percep;ible lisp, barely
perceptible, lends an additional charm to
low, soft voice. Josiah Aliens Wife" Ia
Miss Hswley. Think Of that, with sill of her
wonderful lore of domestic life and incident.
And stranger than all else. "Samantha" was
meyer at the centennial! Didn't 60 near the
centennial, and knows more about It and
writes more about it than three -fifths Of the
people who were there. She lives and thinks
and writes on her own farm about five miles
from Belleyille; she lives ever SO cozily, is q
most charming neighbor, and they seem to
worship her In Bclleville. The critics are
praising her new book Samantha and Her
Maynard Pardner" to the skies, and its ad-
mirers will read IL with more interest, per-
haps, for knowing little gossip about its
author" -.f

In 1869 Herr Won Begold inferred
from observations In Bavaria, that there
was an increase from year to year In the
number of buildings struck by lightning
There seemed to be also an increase in
the number of thunderstorms, aud this
was assigned as the cause. A little later,
observation by others in Saxony and
Schleswig- -Holstein also showed an in
but no comparison was made with the
number of thunderstorms. Herr Holtz
has lately made fuller inquiry OH the
basis of data from all parts Of Germany, +,
and from Austria and Switzerland. He
publishes two tables, one to show the in
crease or decreaseof thunderstorms since
1854, since 1862, aud since 1870, in the
different regions; the other. the increase
or decrease Of lightning-risk estimated
from comparison Of the number of light
ning-struck houses with the entire num-
Der of houses. 1t appears, then, that
while any increase in the number of
thunderstorms Is extremely small, and
there Is In some cases even a decrease,
the lightnihg-risk shows very large
increase and In no case q adecrease. Thus
the increase of risk from lightning must
be regarded as not due, unless In very
slight measure, to meteorological in
duences. This appears more distinctly
from the fact that the increase of light
ming risk is proportionally greater as
the compared years are farther apart;
but it is not SO with the increase Of
thunderstorms (Which for example, is
less since 1854 than lS62). To explain
the increased risk by telluric changes,

TEE people of South Carolins. one of
the worst Of the bulldozing States. are
in q fair way to learn what the people of
the North and the men high in official
position, think Of their ballot box stuff
fing and other crimes against the free
dom and purity Of elections. The
Charleston News and other papers with
commendable enterprise and fairness are
giving their readers liberal installments
from leading Republican journals as
well as the most advanced thought from
our most eminent statesmen, and we are
both surprised and grsti6ed that they
find SO little in them to condemn. They
d not deny that they have suppressed
the negro vote, but plead that it Is a
necessity in order to coed Government.
They are, however, tired Of the heroic
methods they Lave pracliced in the past
and which have justly disgraced them
in the eyes of the civilized world, and
say that there will be some more humane
but equslly effectual plan devised to ac-
complish the same results. The News
winces under the statement in Garfield's
inaugural "That the denial of the elec-
tive franchise to q class unfit at present,
to exercise it is more than an evil-it is
crime" and says the minority in South
Carolina will not submit to the rule Of
an ignorant majority. The following
paragraph however, shows that they are
fully awake to the dangers of the situa-
ton, aud are intent upon discovering
some honorable way out of it:
south Carolina is determined to- have fair
elections as to retain good local government.
Precisely how this will be done, nobody can
say at this moment; but 1t will be accom-
plished somehow. The State will not be Ut
to live in or be worth saving, IL that which
was q desperate remedy Is to become our
daily food. There is danger already that
some ensineers will be hoisted with their
own petard. Last year, in Charleston, one
tet of Democrats stuffed the ballot.boxes, at
q primary election, to defeat another set Of
Democrats who had received q majority of
the votes cast; and this very week, at q
municipal election in the rigidly Democratic
County of Lexington, the bailot-box was SO
stuffed that the managers of election refused
to canvass the vote. For Republicans, in
the South, -F -s-..-.
Doubtless the pleasure is as great
{ OF being cheated a. to cheat.
But Democrats are no. SO philosophical In
their eyes, cheating as means of securing
honest government is q widely different
thing from cheating for the benefit Of local
workers" and machine-made ONCE seekers.
There Is always one way to ensure absolute
honesty at elections, and that Is by interest
ing the white people In 5 free ballot and a
fair count When our pleasant vices, SO to
speak, are likely to be made into whips to
scourge US, we are in the humor to mend
our lives. There is no complaint In Virginia
or Georgia, where the whites divide and in
sist on q square vote, and other States are
moving rapidly in the same direction.
