A Marvellous CIairvoyant
r-a----l-s- ~ ..-----l.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
There is at present in a certain city in
Italy an aged woman of humble origin,
who possesses marvellous pewers of clair
vOyance. She has been consulted by
persons of high social standing, and on
more than one occasion by royalty itself.
She has no power Ofmesmerizing others,
being simply a medium. Her visitor
places his hand in hers, when she inn
mediately becomes clairvoyant, and &C
Curately describes his state of health and
business, frequently making startling
revelations. In the event of any ailment
she prescribes herbal cures, often with
powerful effect. Persons at a distance
send a lock of their hair with a fee which
she holds in her hand, and so places her
self en- rapport with her patients. The
foreign papers seem to have full faith in
her powers

SwitzerIana's Chief Industry.

But the chief industry of Switzer-
land is not of watches and jewellery,
and wine and cheese, ETC., but in pur-
veying for the hordes of summer tour
lists. What with the army of persons
employed at the numerous hotels,
established at every available point of
view or depa rture; the multitude of
guides, generally intelligent, faithful
and obliging; of porters, ready to carry
your luggage, sixty pounds each,
strapped ON their backs, over any diff
cult or dangerous route with the agility
of mountain goats, or to carry the
feeble or lazy or weary in their chases,
porteurs; what with the other multi
tudes employed in the carriage and
coach force of the mountains, and the
still larger number dependent on the
agricultural, mechanical and mercantile
pursuits which are fed by this great
stream of summer travel; and l should
think that, directly or indirectly, about
one-fourth of the people in the mount
ain districts are eithe. partially or
wholly supported by the contributions
of sightseers The importance of this
industry is so well recognized ly law
and custom that fix~d tariff is estab-
lished for every kind and degree of
service. don't wonder TIL t the Swiss,
who are reputed to bo merceanry, are
fond of their native mountains. For
they are mere prolific source OF profit
to them than all tie vineyards which
clothe their lower slopes, and all the
focks of sheep or mountains goats
which browse ON their higher pastures.

Halyv Wheat heals.

MILWAUKEE, April 1.-The transac-
tions in wheat at the Milwaukee Cham
Der of Commerce, yesterday morning,
were the heaviest for many years.
Within ten minutes of the opening of
business 5000, 900 bushels had changed
hands. Two more round transactions
of 100000 bushels each occurred
within the following half hour, making
1000, ZOO bushels in all. McGeoch was
the heaviest seller. He is understood
to have been selling out May wheat
here and buying in Chicago. During
the day Sam Tallmadge, as his broker,
disposed of 100000 bushels for him
At the beginning of business, j. b.
Oliver & Co. were heavy purchasers.
The Milwaukee market ruled 1I(G1s
cents above Chicago While these tran
sactions were taking place, over 200,-
600 bushels of wheat were loaded for
export.

Working for Relief,

New YORK, April Am effort is tc
be made by the citizens of Brooklyn tc
secure the release of DR.. Gallagher, who
was arrested in England, about year
ago, on suspicion of being implicated in
a dynamite plot. A petition is to bt
presented to the president. The neces-
sary papers are now prepared, aud as
soon as they are printed will be laid be.
fore President Arthur. They will make
a good volume, and in the shape
of affidavits, letters, etc, give com
plete history of the case. The aflidavits
are said to disclose not a foul conspiracy
on the part of Dir. Gallagher to blow ur
buildings in London, but an infamous
plot to convict an innocent man. Nor
ris, the man who he supposed was act
ing rs his counsel, and with whom he
held several consultations, is said to
have been an employe of the govern.
ment which was prosecuting him, and
when he was called for trial another
man appeared to defend him.

Sore Whisky Men.

WASHINGTON, April WHISKY
men continue to express surprise and
disgust over their crushing defeat The
widest opponent of the bill never
dreamed the majority would reach 102
Governor Curtin, who opposed it from
the first day it was brought before Con
gress, and who predicted certain de-
feat for it, never claimed a greater
majority than fifty, while Sam Randall,
who made canvass of the members.
claimed it would be beaten by about
twenty-five. The whisky men attri-
butte the defeat largely to the impol-
itic speech made on Wednesday by Mr..
Hewitt New York;, and to the malig-
nant anti-temperance address of Phil.
Thompson. Colonel McGibbon, the
well-known distiller of Louisville, pre-
dicted in an interview that
numerous failures among banks and
business men would be the early re-
suit of the defeat of the bill. Advices
received here, however, by leading
Congressman from various cities indi-
cate not much apprehension through
out the country. Congressman gen
orally believe the danger of serious
business trouble has been greatly ex-
aggerated A semi-official estimate
shows the quantity of whisky to come
out of bond by reason of the three
years, limit is as follows: During the
current month, 100000 gallons; dur
ing April, 100000 gallons; during
May. 100000 gallons; during June,
100000 gallons; during July, 2,900,-
600 gallons. This makes II total OF
Ii, 400, 900 gallons, which, with a tax OF

Rarnnm,s Trick Exn0sed.

One day, says the Pittsburgh DIS
patch, Barnum noticed man leading .
peculiarly shaped horse through to.
streets of Washington city. Turning
to friend, he said he would bet SOD
he could make a pile of money out OF
that horse. The bet was taken, ana
nothing more was thought of it. On.
morning the people of Washing. on
wakened to see the city plastered with
bills, on which was cut of woolly
horse. The small bills said it had been
captured by Fremont during his explo-
rations in the Rocky mountains, and
that it would soon be on exhibition near
the Capitol. Thomas Benton, Fremont's
father-in-law, saw the sign out as he
went to the Capitol He was with some
Congressman when the show-bi caught
his eve, and he remarked: 81 am going
to put an end to this Internal swindle, "
and the two started to go in. The
ticket-taker stopped them and asked
them for their money. Benton handed
him a quarter. He attempted to stop
them, still saying that was not enough,
butBenton pushed him angrilyaside with
Il have had enough of this foolishness, u
and striding past him went in and
jumped over the rope which separated
the woolly horse from its audience. and
with cut of his knife skinned half oil
his woolly cover off him, showing the
same old bony, bay steed, with the or
binary fur on him common to horses.

from Khartoum with 5000 men, two
guns and squadron of Bashi-Bazouk
cavalry, accompanied by three steamers
on the river. The rebels were en-.
countered near Halfiyek. Sixty of the
enemey's cavalry charged the Bashi.
Bazouks and put them to flight, causing
panic among the infantry, who also
fled in great disorder. General Gordon
returned TO Kartoum. Notwithstanding
this check, he declares Khartoum quite
safe.
Later advices give details of Gordon
engagement near Halfiyeh on the 10th
instant. The rebels pursued the Egypt.
aims two miles after the battle. The
confusion during the retreat was fearful
to behold. The Egyptian regulars and
Bashi- Bazouks kept shouting out thai
their Generals had betrayed them. The
wounded received no attention for sever
hours. The troops had been clamorine
for three weeks before to meet the
enemy. In the early part of the en-
counter the Egyptians We're successful
and the enemy were actually in full
retreat, when their cavalry made {
dashing charge. Despite the revcrs,
the inhabitants still remain stauncl
friends of Gordon. One Arab lent Cor

Another Arab equipped 1000 blacks fol
him. Two black Pashas have beer

Dyeing Cut Flowers.

Many uses have been found for dyes
outside the textile kingdom, but perhaps
the most remarkable discovery for their
utility has just been made by an English
chemist. 1t has for long time been
known that the color of growing flowers
can be altered by simply mixing little
stuff with the mold in the fower-pot.
No one, however, has hitherto thought
OF changing the color of flowers when
cut. There are in London many artists
whose business it is to give to birds
finer feathers than nature has allowed
them, and they have now a counterpart
in flowers. Mr. Nesbit, distinguished
botanist, has iound that by simply
soaking the stems of cut flowers in a
weak dye solution, their color can be
altered at will, without the perfume on
freshness being destroyed. Most
beautiful effects are produced by pre-
pared lakes. Singular to say, flowers
refuse to absorb certain colors, while
they dispose of others in different man
ners. Ii placed in mixed solution
they make complete analysis, and
some lilies that had been treated with
purple showed distinct red and blue
veins, the colors having been divided in
the process Of absorption Mr.. Nesbit
is still engaged in his Investigations.
