CGYcTNNATI, January 20.-John Wagner,
the murderer of DR.. Biggs, Treasurer of
the Alice Furnace Company, two months
ago, was taken from the Jail at Ironton,
Ohio, between 10 and II O'Clock last night
and hung in the Courthouse yard by from
forty to fifty masked men. They first took
Bill Seek, the other accused murderer and
swung him up. Whereupon he made a
confession duplicating others not yet ar
rested and the crowd allowed him to live
for the present. There is not the slightest
clue to The perpetrators, and public opinion
seems to approve the lynching.

The Claims Commission.

WASHINGTON, January 19.-The French
and American Claims Commission met to-
day. A decision was rendered in the case
of Wilt, administrator of Delrin, VS.. the
United States No. 313. disallowing the
claim. The question raised in this
case was whether an admins
traitor could prosecute claim
without disclosing the parties
bcnefcally interested. 1t was held that
they must be set forth, and that in order TO
recover under the treaty claimant must have
been French citizen at the time the los $
occurred and a French citizen at the time
the treaty was made in 1850.
The French commissioner dissented
in an opinion of some length. Counsel tor
France then moved that Judgment be sus-
pended for twenty days, to enable parties
interested, personal representatives of Del
rim, to show, if they can, that they are
French citizens, which motion the Com
missioner granted, as the same question
was raised in the case of Sigismund Roman
VS.. the United States, No 5j3. The Com
mission rendered a similar decision in that
case upon the same grounds. French cOun-
sci moved that the decision of demurrer
in the case ofDutrieuX VS.. the United States
No. 524, be deferred for ten days
TO enable private counsel in
the case of Valley, ct al. VS.. United States,
No 6S6 to file a brief, as both cases turn
upon the same question of law. The mo-
ton was granted and Commission adjourn
ed to meet on Wednesday, January 20,
1889.
The opinion of the French Commissioner
and United States Commissioner in Wilt
case will be printed in few days. The
following notice has Just been issued

T. II, H.

I every day am thinking things
That no one ever thought before,
And almost every moment brings
Strange thoughts in at some open door;
think that we are not at all
Ourselves, or not ourselves alone,
And that there's naught we ours can call
In any sense by mortals known.
That shadows which lie thick upon
Our lives, whatever life it be,
Are not made shadows by the sun
That is by any sun we see;
And our best feelings all are brought
From better lives than our lives here,
And all we really learn is taught
BY wiser teachers than appear.
Yet when l ask for ghosts, none come
And make themselves be seen by ME,
Although know that there are some
That watch beside me lovingly;
And howsoever much | try
To feel l am myself alone,
There yet is some one else than
Who stands beside me, never known.

whereas the oraug, like man, has but
twelve. With these two exceptions, the
differences are those OF shape, proper
ton and direction only. though the re-
sulting differences in the external form
and motions are very considerable. The
greatest of these are. that the feet OF the
anthropoid or man-like apes, as we'll as
those of all monkeys. are formed like
hands, with large opposable thumbs fit
ted to CRAP the branches of trees, but
unsuitable for erect walking, while the
hands have weak small thumbs but very
long and powerful fingers, forming a
hook rather than hand, adapted for
climbing up trees and suspending the
whole weight from horizontal branches.
The almost complete identity of the skel-
eton, however, and the close similarity
of the muscles and of all the internal
organs. have produced that striking and
ludicrous resemblance to man which
every one recognizes in these higher
apes, and III less degree in the whole
monkey tribe the face and features, the
motions. attitudes and gestures being
often strange caricature OF humanity.

MOlammedan Sensualism

No one of che Mohammedan races has
carried out the license given to sensual
passion by the Koran and the adhering
tradition to such an extent as have the
Ottoman Turks, and no race has suffered
so much from that license. The evil
consequences are far-reaching and bale
full in the extreme. 1t is TO feed the
Turkish sensuality that the slave-trade
throughout the empire and in the in
terror of Africa is maintained. The
beautiful, fair daughters who are pur-
chased from the Georgiaus and Circas-
slams also find their way at last to the
harems of Constantinople, Brusa,
Smyrna, AdriaDople, Aleppo, Bagdad
and other towns and cities of Asia Minor.
One of the direct results of this sensual
ity is that the Turks have degenerated
physically during the past 200 years.
That the conquerors of Constantinople
were hardy race, of great physical
strength, there can be no doubt that
the great majority of modern Turks are
of an effeminate type Is equally certain
very many of them are of fine appear
ance, but they are physically weak,
without ella ,ticity, giving the impression
of men who have lost their vitality.
The same may be said even more en-
phatically of the Turkish women; they
are small in stature, of a sickly complex
ion, easily fatigued by slight exertion,
and became prematurely old. After the
age of 40 all feminine beauty is gone I;
the eyes have become sunken, the
cheeks hollow and the face wrinkled I;
and there remains no trace of the activ-
- end 80 Nftap ~, Er-l,.b
women of 65 or even 70 years of age.
Another immediate result of the prevail
ing sensuality is the mental imbecility
of multitudes of the Ottoman Turks
great mutitudes among them are intel
lectualiy stupid. Many even of the
young men have the vacant look which
borders close on the idiotic stare. Severe
mental application is to them almost a
phys cal impossibility. 1t is we'll known
that in all branches of business where
considerable mental activity is. required
the Turks employ Christians 10 work for
them. This is owing not SO much to a
lack OF education, or to general want
OF energy, as, III many cases, TO a mental
lncapacity which often amounts to real
imbecility. Obvious illustration of the
special topic now discussed is furnished
by the royal family itself. Sultan Abdul
Mejid, Sultan Abdul Aziz, and tie de-
posed Sultan Murad were all men of de-
PRAYED minds, vicious habits, intemper-
ate and sensual in the extreme, and were
alike devoid OF moral character and men,
tai capacity. Mental incapacity, how
ever, from the causes alleged, is not con-
fined by any means to the wealthy and
aristocratic classes it is found in all
grades of society.-7he British Quar-
teriy Revie,o.
