OUTSIDE VIEWS ON VIRGINIA POLL.
T4cs.-The Philadelphia Times, inde-
pendent, in an article on Gen. Wick
ham's letter announcing his purpose to
support the democratic State ticket in
Virginia says:
"Taken in connection with his re-
fusal to run as the republican candidate
for Governor the letter has peculiar sig
nificance. It Is direct and emphatic
notice that the intelligent republicans
of Virginia not only cannot sustain the
Malone movement, but that they ap.
preciate that the honor of Virginia can
best be saved by giving their support
and influence to the only organization
which is in position to cope with re-
pudiation. The present situation does
not leave the republican party without
responsibility. It holds the balance of
power between the reputation and debt
paying factions of the democratic
party. The ignorant and interruptions
portion has not hesitated to trade itself
off to reputation those who have in
telligence to determine their own course
and property to be protected by the hon.
or Of the State have but one course to
pursue Gen. Wickham has led the
way along the only path which q self.
respecting man can 60. He prefers an
honest democrat to q dishonest one, and
those republicans of Virginia who are
worthy of the name will agree with his
position"
The Philadelphia North American,
republican, in an article on the same
subject, says: considering that repu-
diation is the leading issue of the Vir-
GINA campaign, and that Gen. Wick
ham is the recognized leader of the re-
publicans who favor an honest payment
Of the States debt, q casual observer
from the frontier might hint in very
emphatic language that perhaps gigan>
tic speculation is in contemplation in
Virginia bonds, which are certain to
boom when Malone and reputation are
defeated next November, but which are
to be forced down to lower prices be-
tween now and then.O

The Funeral OF the victims.

An immense concourse was present Mon
day at st. Stephens cathedral, where a SOL
emn requiem mass was celebrated for the re-
pose of the souls of the victims of the thea
tire fire. After the requiem, the funeral GER
emonies began at the cemetery. Cavalry, in
tantry and police maintained order on either
side of the imposing catafalque. which was
Illuminated by several hundred candles.
There were 20 metal coffins, those containing
unidentified remains being numbered, while
the others bore names. The collins were low
cred into q common grave 100 by Ia feet.
The funeral, though public and imposing,
was deprived of many demonstrative features,
because of the fear of riot against the po-
lice. The common people of Vienna have
long been restless and the awful loss Of life
at the Ring theatre has given revolutionary
leaders rare chance to stir popular feeling.
As has already been stated, it was the com.
mon people who thronged the theatre on the
night of the fire, and it is charged that there
was a notable absence OF the usual police and
that little attention was given the audience
beyond taking their money. 1t is said that
there was neither policeman, a soldier nor
fireman within the building, nor any other
official to either keep order or give directions
that the man whose duty it was to care solely
for the stage hose had been assigned that
night to shift the scenes that the man whose
duty it was to attend solely to the stage gas
had been assigned elsewhere to look after oil
lamps; that the man whose entire charge
was the iron fire curtain, had been sent away
from his post on an errand, and 30 on. The
investigation also shows that the loss of life
was largely due to the mistake of the police
in supposing that all the audience were out
and in stupidity failing to act from the out
side

FIGHTING WINDS AND WAVES.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF A GERMAN VESSEL on
ITS RECENT PASSAGE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Six overdue steamships from Europe ar
rived at New York Monday. While all of
them had severe voyages, no vessel has had
such terrible experience since the recent
tempestuous weather began rs the Nederland.
Sailing from Antwerp on November 20, she
encountered a strong westerly gale three days
afterward, which increased in severity until
the 26th, when it developed into terrific
hurricane with tremendous high seas Stand
ing on the stern, the seas could be seen roll
ing up ahead over the topsail yard. One af-
ter another the seas broke over the bows,
sweeping away deck houses, bursting in the
wheel-house and severely injuring a sailor !;
the sails were blown from their fasteninRs
and the rudder was disabled. The vessel then
dropped into the trough of the sea and it
seemed that she would soon become victim
OF the elements. Captain Ueberweg, with
his officers and sailors, however, succeeded
after forty eight hours in making temporary
repairs. While the repairs we're being made,
the chart-room was swept away the saloon
companion way was burst in six of the sail
ors were injured; the boatswain had his left
thigh broken; the eDgine-room skyhght was
broken, and other serious damage occurred.
The cabins and steerage were flooded with
water most of the time for five days, great
volumes pouring through the galleys and
openings made in the skylights aud compan-
ion-ways. The water also put out the FIRE in
the galley, and for two days no food could be
cooked. During the five days that the hurri-
cane lasted no person went on deck except
ing the lookouts The officers took their
turns on duty on the bridge, and we're dashed
during the time they remained there. The
passengers were in despair when the water
made its way below decks; mothers cried
and prayed with their children clasped to
their breasts, and no one expected that the
vessel would live through the storm. Miss
Anna G. Dyekman, of Antwerp, a cabin pas.

at a time the ship was almost constantly un.

The number of varieties of insects il
vastly greater than that of all other hy'
ing creatures. The oak supports 450
| species of insects, and 200 ars found In
the pine. Humboldt. in 1S49. calculat-
ed that between 10000 and l70,000
species were preserved in collections,
recent estimates place the present num-
Der at about 10000 species
1t Is a very general belief that great
burial places exert 9 noxious in
fuence. which must render the localities
very unhealthy as places Of residence.
This idea is shown to be a mistaken
one by the results Of an inquiry into
the sanitary condition of the cemeteries
Of Paris. The composition Of the air in
the cemeteries Is reported to be indis
t~inguishable from that Of arabic lands
Animal life In the Sahara is some
what peculiar to the region, and. ac-
cording to NJ. Vogt, the traveller is
struck with the absence of all bright
colors in the animals of the desert. As
a rule, their hue approaches that of the
ground, and the adaptation is most re-
markable In birds, reptiles, grasshoppers,
etc. Black and white exist in some
animals-for instance, the male ostrich
which have nothing to fear from n
emies: and q single exception to the
rule occurs among insects-the Coleop-
terra are nearly all black. To explain
the existence in safety Of these insects
whose color must make them conspicu-
GUS, M. voyt states that they feign
death on approach of danger and In
that state closely resemble the excre-
ments of gazelles, goats and sheep. This
deception, with their disgreeable odor,
gives them sufficient protection. The
general color of the ground in the de-
sert lie, of course, that OF sand.
At the Crystsl palace, London, a Sec
ond international electrical exhibition
is to follow closely on the heels of the
irst at Paris. The objects to be ex-
hibted are chiefly comprised in these
classes: Apparatus used for the pro-
duction and transmission Of electricity;
magnets, natural and artificial; marin
ers' compasses; lightning conductors;
and applications Of electricity-to tele-
grapby and the transmission Of sounds,
to the production Of heat, to lighting
and the production Of light, to the SER
wee of lighthouses and signals. to APP
paratus giving warning, to mines, rail-
ways n navigation, to military art. to
ine arts, to electro-chemistry and chem
ical arts, to the production and trans.
mission Of motive power, to mechanical
arts, to surgery, and medicine. to horo-
logy, to astronomy, to meteorology, to
geodesy, to agriculture, to apparatus
for registering, and to domestic uses.
1t is expected that the exhibition will
pro7e much more attractive to Americ-
ans than that at Paris.
