The geological survey proves that the
Hoosac mountain, Massachusetts,, is as
little understood by scientific men as
any other range in the country. Five
different specimens of rock are found
there, and their formation is complex
and intricate so the surveyors say.

One Lucky American Girl.
Philadelphia Times.

Many an American girl has married, as
she supposed, a title and has been disap-
pointed to find when too late that her
husband was an impostor as to title, for
tune and character, and made Of very
common clay. This deplorable expert
ence was reversed a few weeks ago, when
Miss Nina Bachelor, of Louisville,
married young French lawyer,
whom she supposed to have only his
profession as maintenance and no
expectations. On her wedding day he
disclosed to her the awful fact that he
was the son and heir of Vicomte, with
a long and unpronounceable name and
belonging to a distinguished French
family. He has since taken his bride to
the Islands of Mauritius, where he is to
practice law instead of living in Paris
and wasting his substance in its gay So
ciety. Miss Bachelor has gone to Paris
to perfect herself in art.

A YEAR ago a bogus dispatch was sent
from Washington saying that Senator
Pike had dropped dead in the street on
his way to his Office. To some newspaper
men who called on him that evening he
said: ''This bogus dispatch has accur-
ately described the manner of my taking
off. 1 shall die just as suddenly as that
person described. I shall go out like a

what my doctor has given me-" Just one

the Afghan country. Russia is spelling

The pilot chart Of the North Allan
tic ocean for this month, issued by the
photographic Office, made its appear
ance Yesterday. 1t points out the po-
sitions Of over fifty wrecks in danger
GUS positions and in the track Of YES
sells bound from the West Indies and
from transatlantic ports. Gales Of
wind may be expected about once in
eight days north Of line from Charles
ton TO Bermuda, the Azores, and the
English channel. Icebergs and field
ice may be met as far south as latitude
40 north, longitude 80 west.
The chart contains valuable inforna-
tion III regard to the dangerous position
in which the British steamer Hylton
Castle, which recently sank, lies.
There is communication from Captain
j. +. Brown. Of the British schooner
John Willard, who reports that on Feb
ruary 90 last be encountered a terrific
gale Of wind, with great seas running,
which would constantly break over the
vessel.
To save the vessel it was decided 10
use oil. and atwo-bushel salt-bag made
OF burlap was filed with ten pounds of
oakum saturated with gallon Of kero-
sene oil and suspended from the weather
foreriggiDg. The vessel at the time
was hove 10 under a double-reefed fore
sail and was heading west-southwest.
The effect was wonderful, and the oil
spread for fifty yards around the YES
sci. Captain Brown says that after
doing this not a bucketful Of water
came on the deck.

OUTRAGE BY LYNCHERs.


A Chillicothe NO. special says !:
News reached here late last night that
there was great excitement in Medicine
township. this county, twenty miles
northeast Of here, over the attempted
hanging OF German farmer named
Andrew Behrendt. Two years ago
Behrendt leased three farms be
owned in that locality and went
to Arkansas. A month or two ago
be learned through friendly neighbcrs
that his property was being badly man
aged, the buildings and fences being
torn down and much Of the material
burned. Returning, he found affairs
to be as represented, and at once CON-
menced suits for damages against the
destroyers Of his property. A trial OF
the case was set for Tuesday next.
Soon after the suits were instituted Mr..
Behrendt was notified that unless they
were withdrawn he would be severely
dealt with. These threats were openly
made, but Behrendt gave them no at
tention.
Last Saturday night Behrendt and
his family were awakened by noises
around the house. Going to q window,
Behrendt discovered the house sur
rounded by a mob Of thirty-fve or forty
masked men, who demanded admit
lance or that be come out, threatening
to burn the house if be refused.
Behrendt declined to comply with
their request. vhereupon the mob
set up q howl and burst open the
door. yelling and hammeriDg the sides
Of the house with their guns and pis-
tolls, and striking terror to the hearts Of
the defenceless family. One Of the mob

which was placed about the neck of
Behrendt, who had been seized by seve-
raj of the men. He and his family
pleaded piteously for their lives.
The mob finally relented and re-
leased Behrendt. with a warning that if
bs did not leave the country within ten
days they would kill him. Last eve
nirg Behrendt arrived here and made
complaint to the authorities, who at
once issued warrants for eight or ten
members Of the mob who were recog
nized by the injured man. II is eK-

LONDON, April 6.-Ths Cabinet met
at noon to-day and remained in session
until 2 O'Clock. Gladstone laid before
The Ministers his Irish home-rule pol
ICY. 1t is reported that the discussion
which followed resulted in continuing
Ministerial opposition to certain fea-
lures Of the Premier's proposals. The
Earl Of Kimberly, Secretary for India;
Childers, Home Secretary; Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor Of the
Exchequer. and Mr.. Mundella, Presi-
dent: Of the Board Of Trade, are, it is
said, as much opposed rs ever to that
feature which surrenders the control OF
customs in ireland. As Gladstone re-
mains firm these Ministers, rumor says,
will resign.

tits expected that 70 Eler, Heneage, and
BrOadhurst will secede from the Gov
eminent Thursday. The opinion is that
the present Government is doomed.
Lster.-The Cabinet feud has tempo
rsTily abated. Gladstone modities his
proposals regarding customs control by
giving the English Parliament the right
TO veto all the fiscal enactments Of Ire
land, providing that an imperial re-
ceiver shall collect the customs and
excise, and making the imperial claims
the first charges on the revenues. The
mslecon.ents consequently withhold
their designations. Gladstone is tho
roughly supported in all his proposals
by Earl Granville, Earl ROsebery,
Marquis Of Ripon, and Campbell Ban
herman. Sir Farrer Herschel does not
participate in the discussion on home
rule but upbolds the proposed land
bill, and has relieved Gladstone Of draft
ing the latter scheme.
Mr.. Gladstone is in robust health
aud good voice, and is confident OF sue
cess.
On Thursday Chamberlain will speak
after Gladstone, and Lord Harrington
will move to adjourn. 1t is reported
that Lord Salisbury has persuaded Lord
Harrington TO move that the House re-
fuse to consider GladstOne's bill.
