Since Russia recoiIed within her

much attention has from time to
time been bestowed in one way and
another upon the weakness and ex-
posture Of parts of her extensive from

when actual attack on these eXtremi-

Our readers will find below a letter from
a correspondent pointing out the injurious
effects of augmentation Of children as
practised by Mr.. TAYLOR Of ST. Thomas
in Illustration Of his lecture delivered here
on Saturday evening. If the process is
really injurious, as stated in the Letter,
then we agree with our correspondent
that it should not be allowed, but that Mr..
TAYLOR is convinced Of its harmlessness
is plain from his magretizing his own
child, as was the case on Saturday
evening.

IT the learned Doctor did for instance

although it could or would be nothing as

AS well known, the magnetizer HANSEN
was forbidden to give performances in
Vienna, Berlin, st. Petersburg and other

A certain boat coming up the Mis- slsslppi the other day lost her way, and bumped up against frame house. She hadn't more than touch- ed it before an old darkey rammed his head up through hole in the roof where the chimney once once out aud yelled at the captain on the roof: "War de hell is yer gwine wid dat boat? Can't you see muffin? ? Fust thing yer knows yer gwine to turn dis house ober, spill de old wo- man, an de chillen out in de flood an drown 'em.

Auditing the Doctors' Bills.

WASHINGTON, April 20. - The house committee to audit the ex- penses of President Garfeld's illness have made their reporl, which was referred to the committee of the whole. It allows Mrs. Garfield s50,000, less any amount the presi- dent had received for salary; Bliss, S35, ,000; Agnew, Sl5,000; Hamilton, Sl5,0o0; Reyburn, $lO,000; Mrs. Edson, s10,000; Crump, $3OOO, Sec retary of the Navy, $lSS2; Under. tsker Spear, *lS35; c. N. Jones, of Elberon, $l092, and other amounts varying from fifty cents to slOO. It retires Surveyor-Gener Barnes with the rank of Major General, and au- thorizes the promotion of oodward to the rank and pay of Lieutenant. Colonel.
 Blackburn and Springer for the minority, do not object to the pay ment for services, but oppose the ex- orbitsnt figures. They say the amounts paid should come from the unpaid salary of Garfield; they also oppose the retirements and promo tions recommended " the majority, and moved to re-commit the ques- tion.

-----------=---- A Probable MeSAaEe.

WAsHINGToN, April 19. - It is more than probable that the president will send a message to congress re- commenting that the law regulating the use of the posse comitatus be amended so as to allow the president complete authority to suppress law lessness in any state or territory where the local authorities are power less. The question of the power of the president to employ the posse comitatus to suppr ss cowboys in Arizona IS now under consideration by the attorney-genersl, and the message on thls question will be mainly based upon hls conclusion in the premises.

THERE Is not entire unanimity among the consulting physicians in the case of the democracy of Cochise county. Several are in favor of the heroic treatment recommended in yesterdays EPITAPH, while others those of-tbe Sangrado school--are still in favor Of astringents with the cheese diet. It is evident to any one at all familiar with the case that no half way measures will be effective in saving the patient. Powerful purgatives, with honest, wholesome after treatment, is the last, best and only hope for the sufferers life.

q Brutal under.

CoLFAx, Cal. April l9. - James Spencer, one of the oldest inhabitants of the county, was brutally murdered and robbed st his cabin near the town. He ess. last seen alive about 8 o'clock last night, on his way home. At 3 o'clocR to-day one of his neigh bors found him lying dead in front of his door, which was standing open. from appearances he had just un- locked the door when struck on the head with some blunt weapon. His coat and vest were torn almost to tatters, showing that he struggled for his life. The back part of his head was completely mashed in, and on his face ten cuts were discovered. In the search for plunder the mur- derers removed deceased's clothes from his body, seeming to know he was in the habit of carrying money. Near the body was found a broken ax-handle covered with blood and hair of deceased. Three tramps found at an Indian camp near by, were arrested on suspicion.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-In the star route cases Williams called on the government to furnish bill of particulars describing all the papers and petitions alleged to have been forged. The government resisted, and asked the court to decide on the request as soon as possible. After some argument on the forfeiture of Dorsey's recognizauce, it was stricken from the records. Merrick called for the arraignment of $. w. Dorsey who pleaded not guilty, when the court adjourned.

THEN AND NOW.

The richest silver mine in the world is at Potosi. It is situated on an elevation l6,000 feet above the level of the sea, in region of per petual snow. It has always been worked in very rude manner, yet it has already produced s250, 100000, and shows TO signs of exhaustion. The annual product of the silver mines of South America at the present time is estimated to be S13,- 100000, and their total product to the present time has amounted to $2,3S6,000,0 ,000.--Daily Stockholder.
 The above item is pure rot. The Comstock has produced s350, 100000, and is not exhausted Tn the same sense of the Potpsi. It will be re- membered that .his is the mine that Henry Meigs was going to rehabili- tate had he not died. The mine is in such condition that it produces but little if anything now. Meigs was going to reopen it by running deep tunnel from the side of the mountain, thereby draining the mine to great depth. It IS no doubt true that the mines of South America have turned out in the last 375 years the sum of $2,3S6, 100000, which divided by the whole number of years is less than six and half millions per year, or about one-half of Arizena's pro- duct last year. When the fabled wealth of these old Silverados is properly analysed it is found not to be such wonderful bonanza after all--thst is as compared with the one hundred millions yearly product of the present era.

James, great mistake was in not settling down in Cochise county, while here last summer. He would probably have received the appointment of deputy sheriff, and more than likely would have been a member of the next Arizona Legisla- ture from San Simon. But we are .a all liable to make mistakes.
