LEANING TOWER OF PISA-Whether by
accident or design, no one can now tell, the
inclination of the structure makes it look and
feel to the visitor as if it were about to fall.
1t is $50 feet high and is thirteen feet out of
the perpendicular. This is stated everywhere,
and is no doubt true, but l suppose there are
many persons who, like myself, expected to
see a building standing erect, the centre of
whose top was outside the centre of gravity.
This is not the case by any means. 1t is true
that rope falling from the centre of the top
would strike the wall at the bottom of the
tower side, but the rope would not fall out
side the tower wall. In a short time / salts
fled myself and two other visitors of this fact
The apparent contradiction of the laws of
nature disappear then, in Il moment. Taking
the building us a whole-letting a line fall
from the centre ut the tOp-if this line fell
outside of the base, in that case the building
would violate the law of gravity if it remain
cd standing, | believe the architect planned
this optical deluSiOn. There are no signs of
any giving way in the structure. No crack
or crevice gives evidence of rapid or slow
settling of the walls. The architect knew
very well how easily the eye can he deceived
The trmness of the masonry, the gradual as
cent, the symmetry of the whole, prove beyond
a doubt that it was built as it now stands.
Liz "dllS DtloW dlt hPlt lHlCk, diu ulllcSS
these should give way there is but one other
method by which the building could be over
thrown. If the stones were to slip from their
places, then, little by little, it would be dis
lodged. But the whole structure is keyed
and boted and cemented into a solid mass.
If it leaned nine feet more than it does, then
it would fall, because the sum of it's weight
would fall outside of the centre of gravity.
The mystery disappears at once when we eX-
anime it, but the curious effect upon one S
nerves in making the ascent and standing on
| the top is nevertheless real.

Hostile Indians.

CHICAGO, June l4.-An Omaha
special says: A company of cavalry
left Fort Sidney, Nebraska, last even
ing, for Mckinney, Wyoming, to re-
inforcc the garrison. General Crook
learns from the commandant there
that it was rumored that 800 In
dians were on Powder river below old
Fort Kinney, but few miles from
the present fort, and that 100 lodges
of Indians were ON Rock creek.
Stock men reported that these In
dians were killing cattle and threat
ening to attack the herders. The
commandant has not heard from his
messenger sent to obtain the actual
facts, but General Crook deemed it
advisable to send the troops.

Another Steal.

SAN Francisco, June 14.-Regard-
ing the Ocean Shore scheme the Call
says: Rosccrans's statements in ref
erence to the company are not known
here to be true. If he can show that
the Ocean Shore is not an imaginary
concern, he can confer favor on the
people of this coast by proving it,
Rosecrans may know who the promi
nent railroad men at the head Of the
company are, but the people on this
coast do not. There is an evident
purpose in some quarters to make it
appear that the Central Pacific heads
the opposition to this scheme. We
do not know whether this is the ase
or not, but the fear that the Central
Pacific contemplates buying out the
speculative company which seeks the
franchise, has aroused general pub
lie opposition to the Ocean Shore
scheme.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE DAILY TINES,
UNITED STATES.
Too Many Poor Jews.

NEW York, June lathe troubles
of the Hebrew immigration Society
have multiplied so rapidly in the last
three months that, Notwithstanding
the increasing work by Mr.. Kurs-
heed, agent of the society, and his
aids, the number of immigrants upon
its hands increases daily-more than
can be sent away or places found for.
Mr.. kursheed says that if the Euro
pean societies continue to send them
at this rate, he will have to apply to
the public for aid. On Sunday af-
ternoon the society had a meeting to
consider the problem before it, A
dispatch was received during the
meeting, announcing that in Brody,
on the Russian and Gallican frontier,
there were 10000 Russian refugees
living on quarter-rations and wait
ing for transportation to America.
The New York society had sent
dispatch, weeks ago, to Europe, re-
qaesting that no old people or large
families of children be sent, but this
request was disregarded, and the
prospects are that 10, 900 immigrants
will be sent here as fast as transport
alton can be found. European soci-
eties organized to aid in transport
ing these people have found them
selves overwhelmed with penniless
immigrants. Most of the immigrants
are entirely destitute; there are, how
ever, exceptions. The system for the
present is to send agents Of the soci-
city to all large cities, where bra nch
societies for the reception and dis
posal of Jews can be made. In the
meantime the refugees now here are
fed and clothed by the society. Fifty
young men went to Chicago last even
ing.

Perpetual Injunction.

SACRAMENTO, June 14.-The fol-
lowing decree was rendered by Judge
Temple to-day, in the famous mining
debris suit of the State of California
against the Gold Run Hydraulic
Mining Company:
That said defendant, and all the
officers, superintendent, foremen,
agents and employees thereof, be per-
petually enjoined and restrained
from discharging or dumping into
the North Fork of the American
river, or into any stream tributary
thereto, and especially into Canyon
creek, any bowlders, cobblestones,
gravel or sand from the mines; also
from causing any such material to
flow or to be washed into said river
from its said mines or tracts of min
eral land.
Subject, nevertheless, to this, that
said defendants may at any time, as
it shall be advised, apply to this
Court to have this decree and re-
straining order modified or vacated
and set aside. And whenever upon
such showing it shall appear that
efficient means have been provided
to impound, detain and hold back
such tailings at any point on said
American river above Alder creek,
and that such means are sufficient to
detain all bowlders, cobblestones,
gravel and the heavier sand, then
said defendant shall be entitled to
have said decree vacated and set
aside.

$75O,OOO Lost by Fire.

MONTREAL, June l4.-Losses by
last nights fire were three quarters
of a million dollars.
1t originated in Miller, Son Il Cos
book bindery and stationery store
and extended to the following prem
ises, all of which are now gutted:
Grcenshield, Sons T. Co., dry goods;
Mcintyre n French, ditto; the Glen

$3.50, 900; Greenshiclds', $3.50, 900;
Mcintyre Il Co., 100000; Clenden-
ming building and stock, $55O,OOO.
Insured in all the leading English
and Canadian offices for three -fourths
value. The water power at the be-
ginning was not sufficient to cover
the upper stories of the buildings
where the flames had the strongest
hold. Three steam engines, all in
the city, were brought into requisi-
tion, but they seemed useless in con-
quering the fire. The loss will not
be SO heavy on Mcintyre 4 French
as was at first believed, the wind
having changed in time to partially
save the premises and stock in the
northwest end of the block. The Or
igin OF the fire is unknown.

Naughty Mrs. Christiancy.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The dep
osition of Charles Emery of Provi-
dence, R. l., in behalf of ex-senator
Christiancy in the latter's divorce
suit against his wife has been re-
ceived here. In the latter part of
June, 1879, deponent went from
New York to Aspinwall in the steam
er Colon. Mrs. Christiancy was one
of the passengers. Before the
steamer had been two days out
from New York he noticed an init
macy between her and man with
whom he was not then acquainted,
but whom he afterward met and
knew as George E. Haight. Mrs.
Christiancy and Haight were togeth-
er almost all the time throughout
the voyage, and the intimacy was
the subject Of unfavorable remarks.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Guiteau
at his last interview with Reed ex-

call on the President, and urge COM
mutation of his sentence. He in
structed Reed to shake his fist in the
Presidents face, and demand protec-
ton for him as Gods man, who
saved the country and made Arthur
President. Reeds last appeal for
Guiteau has been placed in the hands
Of Justice Bradley, of the United
States Supreme Court. 1t is practi-
cally the same as that made before
Justice Gray and refused by him.
There is no probability that the writ
of habeas corpus will be granted.
