YORKTOWN.

This memorable city, the theatre of
the recent imposing ceremonies in COM
memoration of the surrender of Lord
Corvallis army in revolutionary days,
is situated on high bluff of concrete or
stone mari, covered with sandy soil, on
the south side of the York River, about
eleven miles from it's mouth. It is the
highest ground on either the York or
James River below Richmond. The
peninsula on which the town is located
is level, and on each side of the village
deep ravines embrace it, almost meeting
in the rear. At the time of the siege, in
1871, the village contained about sixty
houses. Its sole Importance was as
shipping port for the tobacco and other
products of Virginia. In 1914 con-
siderable portion of the town was de-
stroyed by fire, and from that blow it
has never recovered. It is now little
more than dilapidated memorial Of its
former self. The average width of the
York River in the neighborhood of
Yorktown is about two miles, but direct
ly opposite the town it is narrowed to a
mile by the projecting cape on which
the village Of Gloucester is situated.
This, too, was once thrifty and enter
prising settlement, but the depreciation
of the surrounding country for agricul-
tural purposes checked the growth of it's
incipient commerce, and here, as at
Yorktown, the agencies of decay have
been more active than those of prosper
ity and progress.

Danuerous to Handle.

At the Paris electrical exhibition
number of small fires and accidents have
occurred. On one occasion gentleman
was leaning over to examine closely an
interesting machine, when his gold
watch made a connection between two
conducting wires which happened to be
exposed. The chain Immediately be-
came red hot and set fire to the waist
coat, against which part Of it rested.
The following day another man was al
most killed by a dynamo-electric mach
inc. Part of the conducting wire was
not insulated, and was lying on the
floor. Re touched the stand of lamp
which formed part of the conducting sys-
TEN. His body then formed connec-
ton through the ground to the naked
wire, and bis muscles contracted SO as to
cause his hand to clench the lamp. Ten
lamps we're in circuit at the time, and SO
much current was passed through him
that eight Of them were extingulshed.
He was powerless to unclasp his hand.
Every muscle in his body was para
lived. His face was distorted; his lungs
were so acted upon that he could scarcely
breathe. He could only utter faint
and unnatural cry. The workmen in
the place fed from the workshop, be-
lieving that some explosion was about to
happen. A friend came Tip and tried to
unlock his hand, but finding this impos-
sible lifted his legs from the ground.
This broke the circuit, and his hands
was released, while burning sparks flew
to his hands in the action breaking the
circ11it. He was insengible, but has re-
covered and devised an improvement to
the lamp which will prevent recur-
renee of such an accident.

A BIG CLAIM.

A most remarkable paper has recently
been filed in the state department at
Washington, and served upon the min
listers of Peru and Chill. It is nothing
less than claim fer about 1000, 900,
being it seems, somewhat in the nature
of lien for that amount upon the enor-
mously valuable deposits of fertilizers,
filtrates and guano in Peru. The claim
ant is the Peruvian Company, a corpor-
alton existing under a state charter. It
comes into the possession of it's claim by
succession, by assignment and otherwise,
of the claims of Cochet and Landreau.
the discoverers of the deposits in ques-
ton. They were respectively awarded,
by act Of Peruvian congress, certain pro-
portions of the result of their discover
les, which consideration was never paid
and is the subject of the claims now ad-
vanced in this new form. Cochet and
Landreau. were French citizens, but
Landreau was in partnership with his
brother, naturalized citizen of the
United States, and his claim has been
repeatedly before congress. ...,
The mere magnitude of this claim
would entitle it to attention, but the fact
that this claim is vested in American
citizens, who are now seeking to enforce
their asserted rights of contract against
Chih's rights of conquest, and who are
demanding the protection-forcible pro-
lection, if necessary-of the federal gov
ernment, is not without significance.
Moreover, the character of the men in
terested in the company, according to
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1881-10-26

the statements of the company's presi
dent and attorney-J. r. Shepherd, of
New York entities it to respect
full examination of its deserts. General
Grant, for one, is both convinced Of the
Justice and soundness of the claim, anil
in favor of it's vigorous support by the
executive. Ex-Secretary Boutwell, is the
counsel of the company in Washington,
and Hon. Scott Lord in New York city.
Both these gentlemen are said to enter
tain no doubt as to the legality Of the
claim. Senator Eaton. OF Connecticut,
and Senator Cragin, of New Hampshire,
are Of like opinion. The matter has al
ready been the subject of correspond
ence between the state department. and
the United States minister at Lima, and
coincidentally with the service of the
formal notice upon the Peruvian and
Chilian ministers, application was made
for the sending Of such vigorous instruc-
tions to Minister Hurlbert that the
company's rights are likely soon to be
tested.s These instructions have been
sent, and the company's attorney ex-
presses his satisfaction with their tenor.

THE COTTON CORNER.

It is as true in commercial life as in
physiology and religion, that when one
member suffers, all the others suffer
with it. In the production of manu-
factured goods labor aud capital form
an unlimited copartnership. When
capital loses it's profits labor is liable to
lose its bread. When labor is oppressed
capital will fail of the largest returns.
The former truth was proved beyond
cavil in connection with the Liverpool
cotton corner. The mill-owners found
themselves, through lack of foresight,
obliged to pay an enormous price for
cotton, only few speculators being
made thereby richer. Hoping to break
the corner, the manufacturers in the
great cotton towns quite generally
agreed to suspend operations for some
days. Adopting this course they threw
100000 spindles out Of motion. For
week u, 600, 900 opportunities for poor
operatives to earn their daily bread were
absolutely destroyed. There were few
cases of acute suffering. One family, in
particular, comes to mind-a family
harassed by debt, (but when work was
plenty able to keep the wolf from the
door,, brought to the very verge of
starvation by the stoppage. It was
found with not a morsel to eat in the
house, and dependent on charity if it
was ever to taste food again.

Tom Herbert, a discharged employe, was ar
rested and charged with the murder. On the
night of the 18th inst, Deputy Sheriff Ben
Mitchell was killed while defending Herbert
from a mob. A man supposed to be Tim CARLY,
was mortally wounded.
Near Breckner, Texas, on the 18th, a horrible
outrage was committed by family of negroes
who we're visited with swift and terrible VEN
geance by an enraged community. 1t seems
that quarrel has existed between family
named Sloan and negro named Lum. On the
18th inst, Mrs. Lum enticed Miss Sloan, aged
Is, to deep ravine where her husband was IN
waiting. While his wife held the girl the negro
fend ra7ished her and then with his pocket
entrai!s to pieces. He then cut the girls throat.
The body was found and at the inquest Mrs.
Lum confessed the awful crime, which SO en-

The wife Of DIR. Harper, residing in Henry
County, Missouri, craZed by the cries OF her

Mrs. Dora Beyland, IS years Of age, residing

She then nearly cut the head from it's body with
q butcher knife. Mrs. Beyland is widow and
for years was an INN ate of an insane asylum.

Comfortably Seated.


He had story which he told with the
drollest exaggeration of detail, about an
occasion when he was out shooting, and,
sitting down on a bank to rest, found
that he had perched himself on a hor-
nets nest. The bank was tunnelled by
them; and, as luck would have it, he
had seated himself upon and closed the
only exit available for the imprisoned
insects. He dared not get up lest they
should swarm out in a body and sting
him to death. There were millions of
them, he said, for the earth for yards
around hummed and vibrated with their
subterraneous raging, like high-pres-
sure steamboat under way; but there
was no other orifce. At night several
others came home to go to bed. to whom
he had to " EXPLAIN forget how long
he sat there-a week. I think-much
longer, at any rate, than one would sit
on bank under ordinary circumstances;
but he could not raise the siege un-
til the imprisoned hornets were all
starved.

A Curious Anecdote.

The late Baron James Rothschild was
persuaded by his friend, Eugene Della
croix, the distinguished painter, to sit
for him as the model of beggar, as
much by way of a joke as because of his
capacity for excellently assuming the ap-
pearance of mendicant. While he was
thus disguised one day in the artists
studio one of Delacroix's young friends
and disciples entered, and was so COM
pletelydeceived by the models woebegone
appearance, thatin passing outhe stealth
lily pressed coin into! the old mans
hand. Rothschild greatly enjoyed his
success in his assumed character, and
took the money; but he afterward made
inquiry concerning the young man, and
learning that he was in needy circum-
stances and eking out an existence by
teaching, became q very useful friend to
him and the source of substantial pecu-
MARY aid.

BUYING UP CONFEDERATE BONDS.

r. j. Moses, of New York, acting as
agent for foreign parties, advertises for
81, ,000,0 of Confederate bonds, and ex-
presses willingness to pay for them at
the rate of one-quarter of l per cent.
Moses gives this explanation of his do
ings: II am buying these bonds and
paying $3.50 thousand for them. I
have already purchased more than
81 ,000,0 900 worth, and have advertised
for 81, 100000 more. am buying them
in accordance with orders from CORE
spondents abroad, but I do not care to
say where these correspondents are, nor
do know what they intend to do with
them, or how they hope to realize on
them. Personally, I would not give q
cent for all you could bring me, but.
am simply acting as an agent and obey
orders without asking questions. "Do
you think it would be worth while to
hold on to these bonds in the hope of a
rise?" was asked. "No, I do not, for I
understand that the market on the other
side is weaker. I do not know how they
are quoted there, but on Tuesday I re-
ceived dispatch that the market was
giving way, and yesterday I received an
other dispatch that the bonds were sell
ing slowly. The bonds come from all
parts of the south. I sent circulars to
all the banks in the south Offering to
purchase these bonds at 81. so per 81, 200,
and have received some from almost
every one. The First National Bank of
Memphis sent dispatch to me this
morning saying that they had forwarded
$215, 900 worth of bonds" The reporter
made inquiries among other brokers,
and was told that there were several of
them engaged in buying these bonds,
and that quotations ranged from 81 to So
per 81, 900. He was not able, however,
to discover any one who was willing to
pay the last-named price.
