VIOLENT STRIKES are expensive
luxnries. Claims of nearly million and
!, half dollars nave been brought
against the city of Chicago for
damages resulting from the Debs
strike in that city. They will have to
lie paid, and to pay them, taxes will
have to be raised, aud those from whom
t.xes are exaeted will assnredly get
even by raising rents. The rich, having
houses of their own, don't have to Fay
rents, but the poor do, and 50 again, as
i, always the case, the cost of strikes
fnls upon those least able to bear it.

TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 2, 1856

ACCORDING to their present intention,
. higher tariff rate will be the main
plank the republicans will put in their
next national platform. In view OF the
fact that the existing tariff rate is high
.r than any other except that of the
Mckinley bill, being nearly three per
cent. higher than it was during the
Grant, and more than two per cent
during the Arthur administration, the
reason for the proposed increase is not
apparent. The present tariff bill is un-
equal and unjust, for while it removes
or reduces the protection on Southern
products. those of New England are
protected by it to the extent of fifty
per cent, but no reasonable man can
iiuly say it is not high enough.

THE FACT that in some of the manu-
featuring districts of the North work
has been resumed aud increased, and
wages been raised, whether by means
employed by the holders of government
bonds or otherwise, has induced those
holders and their agents to attempt to
give the condition of the whole country
a roseate hue. But that such color is
not the +-s one is patent to all oh
servers, whether they live in the urban
or rural portions, either-o the North or

THERE are more college students
now than there used to be, and conse-
quently 1io:e graduates, but fewer are
ever heard of after commencement day.
Possibly the reason may be that more
attention is paid to the development OF
muscles than Of brains at colleges now
than formerly. One reason for the evil
dent deterioration in the intellectual
character of Southern people, is the IL
most entire abandonment of the .ys-
tenn of home education, by tutors.

BUcHANAN's SMALL BRAIN.-As
stated in the GAZETTE of that date DR..
Robert W. Buchanan was executed by
electricity at Sing Sing prison yester-
day for poisoning his wife.
There was great deal of interest iu
the autopsy, because of Buchanan's
defenders assertion that his brain was
affected. All the physicians were pres
ent. 1t was found that Buchanan's
brain weighed but 31a ounces, or about
IA to Is ounces lighter than the average
brain. In gray matter and depth Of
cells, it was up to tho average. There
were no ruptures of blood vessels, but
several of the cells were filed with
blood, caused by the excessive use of
electricity. The body was well nour-
ished, weighing 40 pounds. The left
lung was collapsed, and the right one
in adhesion. The heart was normal,
but empty. The stomach, liver, blad-
err, kidneys and spleen were normal.
Mrs. Buchanan had not arranged to
take the body up to two o'clock, and it
may be buried in quick lime, although
Governor Morton told Mrs. Buchanan
that he would pay for the burial. Mrs
Buchanan is resting under sedatives adj
miristered by the prison physician.

weaned at four months old and had al
ways been sickly. Igave it the usual
tre,. tment in such cnses but without
benefit. The child kept growing thin
ner until it weighted but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
l then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rbea Remedy. Before one bottle Of
the 25 cent size had been used mark
ed Improvement was seen and its con.
tinued use cured the child. Its weak
ness and puny constitution disappear

MRS. BRowN's FoRTUNE.-Under the

MRS. Browns FoRTUNE.-Under the
will of the wife of Gov. Frank Brown,
admitted to probate in Baltimore, yes
terday, the Governor and his two child
rem are left tho entire estate, valued at
81 100000 to $1,3O0,O0O, She left
personal property, valued at $500, 900.
The rest of the estate is in warehouses,
ground and dwelling houses in Boston,
Cambridge, Mass, and Chicago. Mrs.
Brown owned but little real estate in
Baltimore. By the death OF cousin
two weeks ago, the Governor also iu-
erited $3.50, 900. There had been some
rumors afoat that Mrs. Brown had left
large sum to the Catholic Church,
but the will shows that with the excep
ton of few personal requests the en-
tire fortune goes to husband and child
rem.
The Governor was very indignant
over story published in Catholic pa
per that Mrs. Brown on her deathbed
had sent for Cardinal Gibbons, and that
the Cardinal being away, priest of the
Cathedral visited the dying woman,
talked with her about embracing the
Catholic faith, and that when the priest
came again, according to the story,
Gov. Brown would not permit him to
enter his wife's apartments. The Cath
Ole paper claimed, however, that Mrs.
Brown had virtually died Catholic
She was buried from a Protestant Epis
copal Church, and the Governor
promptly denied the entire story. The
priest declined to discuss the matter.
Yesterday Rev. Richard Harcourt,
prominent Methodist Episcopal minis
ter, stated that he had received from
Gov. Brown copy of the Catholic MIR
ror containing the article above men
toned, with word denying the story.
DR.. Harcourt said he would speak from
the pulpit on the subject next Sunday
night in Grace NJ. Z. Church. There
are rumors that the publication in the
Catholic paper was intended to injure
Gov. Brown with the Catholic vote in
the approaching democratic primaries
in Baltimore, the contest for the guber-
material nomination being very bitter
