JUDGE DANIEL II. PrSNKy, the newly appointed Associated Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona, Is at present residing on his farm near Joliet, IIh- nois but will shortly remove with his familyto Arizona. A Joliet dispatch to the Chicago Tribune says of Judge Pinney: "The position comes to Judge Pinney unsolicited on his part. He has resided twenty years in Joliet, and is well-known, respected and honored by our people. He has wide experience in political affairs. and bears the honor of having nominated Judge David Davis to the United States Senate, and manfully fought the battle through to a successful result, thereby changing the complexion of the United States Supreme Court, and brought into the United States Senate an anomaly in American politics, the truly Independent Senator, David Davis of Illinois. Like the man whose cause he championed, Judge Pinney is thoroughly Independent in politics, though during the past few years he has stood by the banner of the Demo cracv.'

The celebrated cathedral of St. Issac, at St. Petersburg, which was finished in 1S59,at a cost of S25,OOO,OOO. IS giving in dIcatiOns of sinking into the ground. As IS well known, the Russian Capital IS con structed on a marsh, and the site of the cathedral was selected in one of the sOitest portions of it. Upon the fOunda- tions, at the outset Sl, 100000 were spent iu driving piles, but at no period has tue building maintained a rigid attitude, and at present 1t manifests a disposition Co tOpple over at one corner altogether. \ short time ago an examination re- vealed the fact that on one side of the structure the columns had parted from the architrave, and left a space of three inches between, which the application of test has shown to be regularly increasing. In consequence of this discovery the ad- vice of engineers was taken as to tighten ing the roof, and wOrkmen were engag- ed to remove the heavy corner bronze, but as the work proceeded fresh Assures displayed themselves, and the engineers grew SO alarmed that they gave up the undertaking altogether as bad IOb. Since then nothing has been done except to hold consultation after consultation. with no result except the expenditure of deal of talk, and the rejection of s number of fancy projects of improve ment, more or less impossible to carry out.

A BLuNDER.

The press of California is trying to settle to the satisfaction of the public & to whom General Stoneman meant in hls speech of acceptance after his nomin- ahon. when he said:
 Go down m the street and see the railroad agents. They were the men had to fight. The order went forth, Crush this man Stoneman." That was the fight. It would not do to allow this humble individual to come mp and slap them in the face, because they know how well 1t would give them black eye.
 It is not clear whether he meant Hearst or Johnson, and their friends are not ready to enter heartily into an aggres- sive campaign until satisfied that they are not implied parties to the insult They regard his words as unfortunate" 1" and some even assert that he did worse than make a mistake-he blundered.

The horses were covered with sweat, in which con dltIOn they are sure to be attacked by bees If left near thelr hives. In few moments the animals were covered with bees, and in endeavOring to quiet them Mr. DeckOr drew a part of the In- sects upon himself Mir. Davis, as soon as he was told of the condition of affairs put on his bee veil and went to his as- sistance. Mir. Decker was sent into the house and the horses unhItched and carried away. One of the horses was so badly stung It died next morning; the other will recover. Mir. Decker was stung about five hundred time which made him very sick, causing him to vomit severely.

Space and Electricity.

How far we have annihilated space and
time by means of electricity let the follow
ing incident, related by the Times of India,
show tDuring the repairs of the tele-
graph cable near Bombay, the steamers
Chittern and Great Northern were about half
a mile apart, the former having hold of
shore end cable, and SO was In telegraphic
communication with Bombay; the latter
having hold of sea end, and so was In tele-
graphic communication with Alden. The
Chittern desired the Great Northern to splice
on to the cable end held by the latter, and
pay out three-quarters of mile of cable,
and this was communicated by wire from
the restroom of the Chittern, passing
through all the coils of cable in her hold
and on to Bombay, whence it was sent on to
Alden. and back from Alden to the Great
Northern. Thus, as a speedy means of
sending a message half a mile, it was for
warded by route between 5000 and 1000
miles long. The following morning, when
the two vessels were within quarter of a
mile of each other, communications passed
between them constantly in the same way."
1t is quite evident that as railway and steam
boat travelling and telegraphing progress we
shall have TO adopt some other means of
measuring distances than those we now
possess.

The nominations of Henry III. McMullen
to be United States Marshal for the District
of Delaware and William Y. Swiggett to be
Postmaster OF Wilmington were confirmed
yesterday by the Senate. Mr.. McMullen has
already filled the office of Marshal for one
term with great efficiency, so that his reap
pointment is in the nature of mark of con-
fdence and approval for official duty well
and faithfully performed. Mr.. Swiggett's
appointment is in the nature of a promotion
in line of service with which he is entirely
familiar. He has been connected with the
post office department for seventeen years /;
and this large experience will doubtless
enable him to make our local postal service
as efficient as it is possible to be made. A
good post office is prime necessity in a
growing city like Wilmington, and Mr..
Swiggett's undoubted professional qualitica-
tions will find full play in his new and more
resnOnsible station,
