PAUPER SLAVERY.

West Virginia, which came into the
Union and freedom by Cesarian opera
ton, is just now adding a chapter to the
page of current history that reads like a
Turkish tale of contemporary methods.
1t appears that in one county of the state,
Hancock, the poor board make use of the
paupers to enrich the town treasury. On
the 1st of March of each year the aged,
the infrm and helpless are assembled in
the public square and knocked down to
the 1owest bidder that is to say, to the
man that will undertake for a certain sum
the average being $8O-to take pos
session of the victim and keep him year.
When in the possession of these specula-
tive philanthropists the unfortunates are
lodged and fed like beasts, only worse,
compelled to do the work of hale and
hearty manhood and allowed to rot in
squalor. All sexes and ages are sold into
this slavery and the cruelties engendered
surpass description.

i" SPINEL MENINGITIS " AMONG
HORSES.

There are said to be thirty dead horses
lying on the bank of the Connecticut
river, a mile or two below the city. They
are Victims of the spinal meningitis. Until
a recent time it doesn' seem to have been
known that this disease, SO serious and
difficult to cure in the shuman subject,
could also attack horses. 1t seems it can,
and several horses have fallen while be-
ing driven in the street, SO suddenly does
the disorder manifest itself in full force.
At Woolley's stables, Main street, severai
cases have occurred, and some are now
under treatment so of some other stables.
thereabout. Only few stables, as yet,
appear to have it. The disease attacks
the horses of private owners as well as
those oflivery stables. The horse, if un-
supported, sinks down helpless and cannot
move. At Woolley's they had strong
framework to hold up the horses that
were effected The stables of the Hartford
and Wethersield Horse Railroad Compa-
ny are somewhat affected. The main treat
ment seems to be to give physic balls and
a mustard plaster, and blanket the, horse.
Only few die. The rest come out of it
all right.-Hartford Times, April 2.

A MISSING VILLAGE.

SIOUX CITY, April 4.-No particular
change to notein the condition of the Mis-
souri, river. The gorge, about thirty
miles by river up stream from the city,
continues firm and the overflow in
Union county, OAK, is unabated in con-
sequence. Two members of the city coun-
Gil with other gentlemen left the city go
ing through Nebraska to examine the
gorge to see if it would be practicable to
open it with gunpowder or dynamite.
Mayor Sheafe, of Elk Point, was report
ed Saturday evening as probably drown
ed. He turued up all right, greatly to the
relief Of his friends The news from towns
above is ola distressing character There
is a report that VermiIlion with the ex-
ception of a few houses,
HAS BEEN ENTIRELY SWEPT AWAY.
1t is not believed any loss of life resulted.
All the lower part of Yankton is under wa
ter 6 ised by gorge in the river opposite
..hat city. tits reported that the town of
Niobrara in Nebraska has been flooded
though its condition is not known. The
river here is running rapidly and rose
somewhat duringfthe day, but this even
ing was some feet lower than the high
est point ola few days ago. The whole
country is nervously excited over the
situation and any news bearing on the
freshet is anzouslY sought after.

WITHOUT A MOTHER.

In former times Young America was
satisfied if with the coming of Easter he
could celebrate the event with half doz-
en- or less plainly colored eggs. Later on
the egg coloring business was taken up
by the confectioner and toy-dealer, who
showed their superiority in the art of dye
ing eggs by making names and notices
and flowers on colored shells. Now young
America has taken another stridein keep
ing with the progress of the age, and no
longer satisfied with his fancy-colored
eggs, he demands in addition live chick
en- as ocular proof of what the egg might
have produced had it not been laid for
twenty minutes in boiling water. This
new departure is said to have started a
year ago, when toy dealer alone sold
over 600 live chickens for the Easter hol-
idays. To answer this pressing demand
for the domestic tribe the incubator has
been called into requisition, while the
matronly hen gleefully chuckles over the
fact that hitherto she has only to produce
her fruit and not reduce herself to skele-
ton in warming her progeny into life. Mr..
Henry B. latham, Jr., is responsible for
the advent Of from 250 to 500 of these lit
tie chicks at one Matching, who, like Top
sy, "never had no farder nor no mudder."
In one large incubator the novel sight is
presented Of 250 little heads peeping out
of their shells and struggling with all
their strength for entire liberty. The in
cubator consists of an outer casing of
wood, This is constructed for the recep-
ton Of structure Of sheet metal, COM
prising vertical reservoirs for water ar
ranged at opposite ends of the box and
connected with each other by tubes at or
near the lower ends of the box. Com
munication with the top Of these reser-
voiers is afforded by series of rubber
tubes. In the lower part Of one of the
reservoirs a copper pipe is introduced
through which heat is passed from coal
stove, q lamp or gas jet. An automatic
regulator is immersed in the water Of the
same seservoir, which opens and closes
the heat valve or turns the light up
and down as the water reaches the de-
gree of heat that the regulator may
be set for. By this arrangement con-
tinuOus current of warm water is passed
through the rubber tubes and made to
descend in the upper reservoir, and then
to return to its original place through the
lower connections. The rubber tnbes
are placed at short intervals, and the eggs
laid in rows to correspond with the open
spaces between the tubes. By this means
free circulation of air is insured while
at the same time they are receiving the
contact of the warmed rubber tubes, in
imitation of the contact of the hen, and
with equally satisfactory results. Mr.
latham is now preparing to exhibit his
incubator in Chestnut street show win
dow, when an opportunity will be given
the new-fashioned way.-PAiladezphia

INUNDATED CITIES.

ST. LOUIS, April S.-The Republicans
Kansas City special says about 4 O'clock
yesterday morning a house standing on
the bank q Tie Missouri river, near
Parkville, occupied by woman named
Cordell and three children, was swept
into the stream by the current cutting in
to the bank. After floating down the riv-
er about miles the house was discovered
by two young hunters named Burch and
Ford from Kansas City, who put out to it
in a skiff, cuta hole in the roof the only
part of the building above water, and
rescued the terrified inmates, and took
them back to Parkville
SIOUX CITY, April 8.--The river here
has been on the decline all day and is
now about a foot below the highest point
ofyesterday. VIM. Cunningham, an old
settler of Dskota county, Neb., was
drowned this morning. His house was
surrounded by water and his family had
gone to higher ground. He was making
his escape on horseback, when his horse
went through bridge, and Mr.. Cunnig-
ham was drowned. A special to the
Journal from YaIkton says, the damage
to the steamboats,, railroads, and private
property by the ice gorge in this city has
been fearful. Steamers at the levee were
carried inland and now lie on the railroad
track. The steamer Peniah struck the
railroad machine shops and completely
wrecked them The boat is now on the
prairie about a mile from the channel.
The government warehouses are destroyed
and many of the goods stored in them
carried away. Rescuing parties report
great suffering and destitution among set
tiers on the bottom lands between Yank-
ton and Vermillion A number of houses
at Yankton have moved from their foun-
dations and in some instances carried off.
The Gen. Terry has arrived at Yankton
from Chateau creek, and is the only one
of the feet escaping without damage.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, April S-The unprec-
edented rise of the Missouri river at this
point has resulted in the overflow or the
lower part of the city and many persons
were compelled to vacate their houses here
tonight. The bottom and between this city
and the river proper about one mile dis
tant is inundated, forming a mighty lake.

load down their small bridges over a small
stream in the city limits, and tonight the
water is several inches over the tracks
and is flowing in the Vicinity Of the
large Union depot. The river is nearly %
feet above-low water mark, being several
feet higher than ever known here, and
still rising. Some fears are entertained
that the current may succeed in forcing
passage-way through the low land of the
city mile or two this side of the large
iron bridge between this city and Oma-
ha on the U. P road, but this is hardly
probable.
OMAHA, April S.-The Missouri River
Flood is twenty feet above iow-water
mark and still rising. 1t flooded the
Union Pacific shops and is running
through the smelling works and greatly
damaging the Government rip-rap.
Trains on the ST Paul & Omaha

NO. &C..
THE REAL QUESTION IN VIRGINIA.

The Richmond Dispatch is moved to
explanation and prophesy by the speech
of Malone, and the debate which ensued;
and it strengthens the claim of Senator
Malone, that he is at least as good a man
in the matter Of the payment Of public
debts as are the Funders, technically SO
called. And it is pretty apparent that
the Bourbon Democrats care much less
about paying or funding or adjusting the
debt of Virginia, than they do about
holding that state firmly in the clutches
of the Democracy. 1.-THE Funders," says
the Dispatch, are indignant because of
the position Senator Malone has OBJ
tained, and are determined not to allow
the Readjusters and their negro allies to
get possession of the state, even if the
debt question has to be thrown over
board" 1t is confident that the negroes,
even where, as in some thirty counties,
they are in the majority, can be so ham
pered with by the law, and SO influenced
otherwise, that their supremacy in num-
bers shall avail nothing. 1t does not
mean to have any negroes in the General
Assembly. All this is in confirmation OF
the theory that the real cause Of the fight
against Malone in Virginia, and by the
Democrats in the Senate, was his cooper
alton with the coIored voters to the end
that they might have a genuine and ef-
fectual suffrage. 1t is the old story. The
Democratic leaders in and of the South
have not repented, and have not been re-
constructed. They do not intend to rec
ognize the negro as citizen III full. The
fight will be carried into other states. The
example of Malone will be followed, and
the South will be regenerated politically.
In the meantime the North can do but lit
tie more than to watch and wait. The
injustice of the South to it's own citizens,
while it causes embarrassment and loss to
the North, is damaging more particularly
and in the greatest degree that section
which, after all, must fall into and march
with the constitutional ranks Providence

The Washington correspondent of tt

The Washington correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that "Mrs.
Robert G. Ingersoll is a bright-faced and
handsome matron, on whom the cares of
life have set lightly, and whose clear-cut
and animated countenance is perpetual
study, with its quick play and change of
expression. The two daughters are pretty
and charming young girls, with a quiet
ease and modesty of demeanor that quick
ly render them delightful entertainers.
The elder-Miss Eva Ingersoll-is by
many considered most decided beauty,
being of that fresh, dewy-eyed and virgin
al type that the English painters de-
pict, with wealth of golden brown hair
massed in great braids at the back Of her
head, and plant and graceful figure.
1t is the boast of their proud parents that
these two daughters never went to school. !"

MORDECAI AND ESTHER'S TOMB.

Rabbi Joseph Misrachi, of Shushan, is
in this city to solicit money to be used in
repairing the tomb of Mordecai and Es-
ther, a famous and sacred spot to the
Eastern Jews. The rabbi is himself a
native Persian and has the dress and
manners of that country. He is appa-
rently about forty years old, of short stat
ure, dark complexion, and wears long
beard. His dress is turban of red with
a white center, dark blue gown lined
with white, and full trousers. He has
been absent from Persia eighteen months
on his expedition, having travelled by way
of India, Australia and San Francisco,
and will 60 hence to Europe. On his
journey he has collected considerable
money in small gifts, the largest being 500
rupees, Among the, names of the doners
are names of distinguished Jews all over
the world Rabbi Huebsch, of this city,
says his credentials are excellent. He
finds great difficulty in communicating
with English-speaking people, as he knows
only Persian, Hebrew and that mixture
of Arabic common to Eastern Jews. The
more enlightened Jews do not care much
about rebuilding the chapel over the
tomb of MordecaiI and Esther, as they
have little faith in the tradition establish
ing the genuineness of the spot. Over
the reputed tomb is a chapel, which is
now falling into ruins and to repair which
is the mission of Rabbi Misrachi. Speak
ing of the latter and of the tomb Rabbi
Huebsch, of this city, said to reporter
yesterday "Eyen if it is admitted that
the book of Esther is authentic, there is
nothing beyond mere superstition to at
tach any value to the tomb the rever-
ence paid to that is like the reverence
paid by the Crusaders to the tomb of
Christ at Jerusalem, or not SO well
grounded it is like worshiping the cloak
of Christ, which they do somewhere in
Germany. But even religion has its
myths, and this is one of the Jewish
myths. There is no mention of this spot
in Persian authors, that know of, as late
as the end of the fourteenth century, SO
probably the tradition is not older than
that. Ii fact, the whole thing is COM
paratively modern. But certainly think
Rabbi Misrachi is in earnest in his belief
that Mordecai and Esther are actually
buried there, and there is no doubt that
great many other people believe so, too"
