The Black Hole of Calcutta.

The Iowa State Board of Health, in it's April bulletin, concludes that few who have heard of the "Black Hole of Cal cutta" know the terrible facts that have rendered the place famous and made it the synonym of all that is to be dreaded from foul air and overcrowding.
 At eight o'clock on the evening of June 20, 1756 one hundred and forty six prisoners, officers and men, black and white, and of different nationalities, were thrust into room eighteen feet square-with two windows on one of the four sides heavily barred with iron giving to each inmate forty cubic feet of space. In ten hours one hundred and twenty three were found dead-only twenty three being alive!
 Another instance is where, in 1742, the High Constable of Westminster, Lon don, committed twenty eight persons to prison, where they where thrust by the keeper into hole six feet square and five feet ten inches high-the windows being close shut. In very short time four of the inmates were suffocated!
 These facts show the poisonous effects of the human breath-or of respired air. Prof. Brown-Sequard has recently made some experiments that are not only highly interesting, but show why the expired air of man and animals is so deadly. From the condensed vapor of the expired air he produced liquid so poisonous that when injected beneath the skin of rabbits it produced almost instant death, This poison he found to be not 8 microbe, but on alkaloid. His conclusions are that the expired air of all animals contains poison more fatal than carbonic acid.
 It is we'll for the people to understand these facts. They cry aloud for better

CURRENT EVENTS ABROAD.

Hon. Woodbury Mcclellan has been ap- pointed Governor of Nova Scotia.
 A St. Petersburg paper, in an article on the probable foreign policy of the new German Emperor. says that he will be guided, no doubt, by the same good sense that char acterized the two preceding reigns. It expres ses the hope that the memorable words of the late Emperor William on his death bed will be regarded as a sacred legacy by the grandson to guide Ger manys relations with Russia.
 A railway is to be built from the import ant Mexican mining town of Pachuca to Port Tampico, the future Gulf terminus of the Central railway.

 Most of the Paris papers regard Emperor Williams order to the army being of a war. like tone, contrasting singularly with the re- scripts of Emperor Frederick. Some journals, however, view the Emperor's language as merely that of soldier addressing soldiers, and express the hope that Emperor Williams proclamation to the Prussian people will be de- cidedly pacific.
 Count Munster expresses himself as mol apprehensive of disturbance of the kindly relations existing between France and Ger. many,

The AutOpSY.

The post-mortem examination was confined to a dissection of the neck, larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which was found to have been destroyed by suppuration, was cavity about the size of clcnchcd fist. Dr. Mackenzie states in the report which he prepared at the command of Emperor William, that the dis ease was beyond doubt cancer of the larynx. He adds that the diagnosis was rendered very difficult, as the disease attacked the cartilage of the larynx at tho outset and afterward developed chiefly in the lower part of the car tilage.
 The National Zeitung says that the autopsy proved that tho larynx was completely de- stroyed by cancer, and that putrid bronchitis existed. There was also inflammation of the tner notifications of the bronchial tubes, into which putrescent particles had entered The whole larynx was in state of suppuration and presented soft, lumpy mass, with scarcely any trace of cartilaginous structure remain ing. There was nothing to show the existence of perforation of the wall separating the tra- chea and oesophagus The choking sensation, from which the Emperor suffered during the last days of his life, which was attributed to such perforation. appears to have been really due to collapse of the larynx. owing to de- Hruction of the cartilage. The direct cause of death is given as paralysis of the lungs.

William II, EmDerOr.

Tie soldierly young man whose portrait is given below becomes Emperor h his thirtieth year, having been born on tho 27th of January, 1859. While his life has not been eventful, it abounds with indications of what the world now most wants to know, that is, what sort of ruler he will bo. As the son of Victoria, the English Queens oldest daughter, his first teacher was an English governess; yet his sympathies are far from English.
 His wife is Victoria, the Princess Auguste Victoria, daughter of Frederick, Duke of Schles- wig -Holstein. They were married in his wife's twenty third year at Berlin, on the 27th of February, 1881. She is not of royal blood nor of personal beauty, and their married life is said not to be ideal. Their family consists of four sons. The oldest was born on the 9th of May, 1882, and to distinguish him, now Grown Prince, among the tangle of Fredericks and Williams in the German royal family, it is nec essary to give him all his names, viz., Freder- ick William Victor Auguste Earnest. The other sons are, respectively, years, years, and year.

The Piegans were only 9 few minutes in advance, and had already talk en off their clothing preparatory to swimming the Yellowstone. The pursuers found and were examining the clothing, when shot from the Piegans killed Crow horse. The war-whoop at once sounded and the skirmish began.

Monthly Army Payments.

The system of monthly payments, in the army, which was inaugurated about & year ago at some of the larger posts as an experiment, is beginning to show 8 result otherwise than satisfactory to the advocates of the plan. AL though but one official protest has been re ceived against it, other official returns show an increased number of assertions and de- crease in the amount of monthly deposits over last year; all of which indicate that, while more frequent payments may be more popular with the enlisted m n, it is against their wei fare, as we'll as against the interests of tho service. The advocates of frequent payments, however, are 10th to believe that the increase in desertion is owing to the new system of pay ments, but prefer to attribute it to some of the other many causes which have been advanced by the wiseacres for the past twenty years.
