Robert Colleyer writes that London
has increased in population q million
souls III twenty years or since the death
OF Prince Albert, and that in these two
decades has doubled its wealth. But the
manufacturers and shopkeepers are Bit
terly complaining Of hard times. Bust
ness is greatly depressed, and there are
aching hearts and starvi & bodies, but
one would not suspect this dreary side
OF life to witness all this display of
wealth and extravaganza now seen on
all hands in London. The roadwsys are
full of most magnificent equipages; the
parks are full; the causeways are
crowded. 1t is difficult to get standine-
room at the principal theatres. Tickets
Tor the operas are secured six weeks in
advance. The fashionable restaurants
are crowded with fashionable diners
from 6 till II nightly, and, as if by SYM
PATTY, the gorgeousness of life in Lon
don is reflex OF all the brilliant displav
at Moscow. The times are evidently out
OF joint when such striking contrasts
are presented, and nobody can tell what
the cost will be.

General Crook, who is after the MUIR
derous Apaches, and about whom con.
siderable anxiety was felt on account of
the interruption Of communications. has
turned up safe and sound, and to a Ger.
tain extent successful in his recent cam.
paign. Gen. Crook now stands at the
head of Indian fighters, not only on &C.
count Of his gallantry, but good sense
and discretion. Gen. Crook is about
hfty-three years of age, but he looks lit
tie more than forty. He is about five
ieet' ten inches highs wiry as a grew
hound, and can outstride and outmarch
any man in the American army. It ia
an historical fact that he lived for three
days on no other nourishment than tree
bark, during one ofhis campaigns against
the Indians. He has fair complexion.
bis hair is straight and cut short, and he
has large, bushy beard which divides
naturally in the center. Personal fear
is unknown to him; but, while he is
reckless of his own person, he is cauti-
Gus of exposing his troops unless there
is something ofimportance to be achieved
thereby.

An Appalling Panic.

=
A terrible calamity, involving the death
offs children; occurred in Sunderland,
county of Durham, Saturday. From
details received 1t appears that IN entertain
ment was given At Victoria hall by con.
jurer, attended almost altogether BY chill
drer, several thousand being in attendance.
The accident occurred Ut the close of the
performance. The body Of the hall had
some i, go Of the little ones came rushing
down stairs from the gallery. At the
top Of the first fight of stairs was door
which opened only twenty inches, and thus
but one child was permitted to pass through
at . time. At this poixt, willie the mass
OF children were pushing forward. one of
them fell and was upable to rise, owing to
the Others crowding. No effort could stop
the mad fury of the frightened children.
They came on pell NELL, though strangely
without much shouting, and soon 17S chill
dren were knocked down and suffocated TO
greater number of bodies, which were badly
msngled from trampling. laid seven or
eight deep. Many victims and Others who
we're not killed had their
clothing torn from their bodies,
and this together with the bleeding bodies
of the unfo1tunales, shows the terrible na-
ture of the struggle. The ages Of the 17S
children ranged from four to fourteen years.
The excitement in town, when the news
spread, was terrific. Great crowds rushed
to the scene until 20. 900 persons surround
ed the hall. The feeling was 10 intense that
the authorities ordered out the Sixty.eight
infantry to preserve order. The work of
getting out bodies began Immediately.
They were laid out in the halls. The
parents of those killed were admitted to
identify the bodies OF their children. Nest
heartrending scenes transpired while iden-
t:fcation was in progress.

Clinging to cherished fctions is hui
man peculiarly that is not altogether to
be deprecated, and therefore some ex-
cuse may be found for those who res.
olutely believe the stories that Thos.
Parr lived over century and half, and
Henry Jenkins flourished to green old
age of 1863 years, or Margaret Yates mar
ried at 90, OUTLYING her husband 30
years, though they are pronounced by
late writer's as wholly false. A lea rned
scientist in st. Paul demonstrates that
the age of Methasalea was really less
than 100 years. and that translator is
wofully at fault making him over 800
years old, but for all this not one person
in hundred will ever consent to rob the
old patriarch of q single year.

A Minnesota Homestead Entry Case.
The commissioner OF the general land Of
fee has written letter to the land officers
at Redwood Falls, MIMI, directing them 70
reopen the case Of Horey Dean, whose claim
has been Cancelled oy . former decision.
The case Wa again brought to tho attention
of the general land office by letter from J..
II. Houston, who claims TO have purchased
the tract of Dean. The letter WAS to Hon.
H. B. Strait, who referred it to the depart
ment: It appears that Dean had made q
soldiers additional homestead entry of this
tract In August, 1877, d additional to IN
original Homestead entry of date Dec. 20,
1869. The tract in question is within
the granted iimits Of the Hastings L D.:
kota railroad. the right OF which
attached March 7, 1857. Previous to this
time the quarter section was On tered by
James Beebe, but was subsequently cancelled
for abandonment, for the reason that no
member Of Beebe's family was reading up
on the land 1t the date of entry q required
by law. This decision became final ON de-
fault of appeal by Dean, and his entry Wa
accordingly cancelled. It was, however,
afterWSrd discovered that tho quarter Sec
ton in question had been excepted from the
operation Of the grant, and that Beebe had
resided upon and cultivated the land more
than two years. On account of this error,
the commissioner has decided to reinstate
Deans homestead entry.
