oUMOODY AND sANKEY.

The editor Of the Wichita Eagle went
TO hear Moody and Sankey " hen they
were at Topeka the other day, and gives
this vivid description of his impressions:
"The matter ofsa little business taking

into which lac piles his whole nature,

then begin TO sniffie and the brothers to
wipe away an unbidden tear

SaIkey opens his mouth in song and
the whole business is corralled. Every.

as their case demands. We feit little

Victims of MiasIna.

DETROIT, Mich, April ga terrible
case of sickness is reported from the town
of Ceresco, this state. A family named
Weaver, eight in number, living on an
island in the center of large marsh
were found nearly dead with malignant
form of scarlet fever. They were found
in destitute circumstances with no COW
ering upon the feet of the children, Scant-
lily supplied with food and the atmos-
phere infected by the miasmatic marsh
The water for domestic purposes was
procured from barrel sunk in the
ground, into which the surface water of
the marsh flows, making it totally unfit
for man or beast. When the physician
first called one of the children was dy-
ing and beyond all medical assistance.
Soon after death the body became black
and the doctor calls it the most malig-
nant form of the disease ever met. Three
children of the family died within twen-
ty-four hours.

A SmnnlflarIng Fire.

NEW York, April ga cablegram
from a correspondent at st. Petersburg,
says: 1t would be difficult to exaggerate
the gravity of the situation in Russia at
the present moment. Never before was
the need of a steady hand at the helm
so deeply and so universally felt. 1t re-
quired nothing less than the tragedy of
the 18th of March to open mems eyes to
the fact that the reform which the re-
yoIutionists endeavor to wiring from the
government by deeds of bloodshed can
not and must not be long delayed by a
majority of the intelligent persons.
In the matter of intelligence the wo-
men of Russia are much superior to the
men. If they ventured 10 reformulate
their desires they could repeat the de-
mands contained in the last proclamation
of the famous executive committee.
1t is surprising to see how much
there is in common between
Russian intelligence and the revolution
airy party. The distinction between
them lies not in the end but in the
means. The very absence of that free
dom which some demand and all desire,
leaves the Russian reformer no choice
but silence or sedition. No one who
has travelled through Russia lately can
have failed to mark the difference be-

which must shortly be taken. Mean

THE PRESIDENT AND THE DEAD LOCK.
WASHINGTON, April 29th.-Senator
Dawes, chairman of the Republican eau
Gus committee, had a conference with
the President to-day, The President is
emphatic in urging the consideration OF
executive business, and especially the
rapid confirmation of nominations
Numbers Of the pending nominations
are to fill vacancies the existence of
which somewhat embarasses the work of
the departments, and as soon as the sem
ate resumes its executive sessions the
President has number of communica-
tons to make, some of which. he has
been requested by parties to hold back
while the deadlock continues, as the
gentlemen do not like to have their
names hung up IN the senate.
There is no doubt but that the commit
tee will arrange for an executive session
next Tuesday, to consider the Chinese
treaties. This will take two or three
days, and meantime the committee will
arrange for action upon the nominations.
