The remarkable disparity between our slender
exports to Cuba and our heavy imports from
that island has attracted the attention of the
Chamber of Commerce. The members were
divided in opinion as to the moral to be drawn
from the fact, but there appears as yet no
probability that it will furnish fresh occasion
for putting our navy on war footing.

not discharged the duties of his Office with

therefore, no grounds for saying q single

Mr.. Calvin, who was nero APP

nothing, for we can say nothing favorable.
We only hope that they may not weaken the
really excellent names with which they are

The WEATHER. Gulf hurricane and a
storm in the West are the chief meteorologi-
cal items of interest that will engage atten-
ton during the next few days. Both of
these storms have been duly predicted in the
HERALD, as we have been noticing their ap-
proach for several days. The hurricane in
the Gulf is now moving with great energy
northwestward over Cuba from the Car
ribean Sea, and will doubtless be severely
felt along our Atlantic coast as far to the
north as Cape Hatteras. The storm rim had
already reached Key West on yesterday
morning, where the barometer fell to 1857
inches and the velocity of the wind rose to
forty -four miles an hour. From tho wind
direction, which was then northeasterly, we
Judge that the storm centre was somewhere in
the vicinity of Jamaica, or perhaps between
that island and eastern Cuba. Heavy rains
prevail oil over the Western country north
of Cairo, and will cause rapid rise in all
the rivers of the Mississippi basin. As pre-
dicted in yesterdays HERALD, we shall cx-
perience this storm during the next two or
three days.

For many years Mrs. Sallie Faddis has lived in Little Beaver, Pa., for some time past her only companion being her daughter Rachel, about twenty five years of age. This daughter has or a long time manifested symptoms of in sanity, at times being extremely vio- lent. Her violent spells were of rare occurrence, however, and although Mrs. Faddis had often been advised to have Rachel placed in an asylum she always refused, saying that as long as she could manage her she preferred to have her homo.

 A few weeks ago the old lady was missed from her customary rounds, and call was at once made at her house. There was no one to be found there but Rachel. She was asked where her moth CT was, but the only reply she made was "They took her to glory"

 Fears were at once entertained that the old lady had been made away with by Rachel. A woman living near Mrs. Faddis' said she had heard loud screams at the latter's house night or two be- fore, but as Rachel was in the habit of occasionally indulging in loud lamenta- tions she thought nothing seriously of the matter. The country was searched for days, but no signs of the remains of the missing woman could be found. At last visit was made to the house, Ra- chel having been removed to other quarters. The stench that pervaded the rooms was horrible. Disinfectants were scattered about the place, and two men, stimulated with brandy, made search of the house. They found closet in one corner of tue house, the existence of which had not been known by any one before. In this they found the remains of Mrs. Faddis. The head was severed from the body, which had been chopped into numerous pieces. There is no doubt that Rachel, in one of her violent moods, overpowered her mother, killed her, and then cut the body into pieces to stow it away in the closet. Mrs. Fad dis was sixty years old.

Most of the sentences in the case of the German ship Anna have been carried out at Hong Kong, showing that the Chinese government, when it does make up it's mind to punish it's people, goes to the furthest extreme. Two of the mnrderers were apprehendcd and exc cuted, and rewards are offered for the capture of the others, who escaped. Those who looked on while the slaughter was done, but took no active part, have been beaten and banished. Several houses on the islands where the plum dered cargo was concealed have been burned by the public officers. Tho coolies who moved the cargo from place to place have been logged. The mill tary officials of the district have keen dismissed from the service and deprived of their buttons; likewise the civil au- thorities for their failure to act expedi- tiously. The full money compensation has been given for the stolen property, and nothing remains now to be done but the burning of the junks in which the cargo was transferred from the wreck of the Anna to the shore. The evidence upon which these sentences were passed tends to show that the murders were not originally prompted by piratical inten- tions, but were in revenge for brutal treatment to the men by the captain and mates of the Anna.

 He has always had the reputa- tion of high personal character, and his opposition to the Tweed gang of thieves has even placed him in some degree among polit- ical reformers. Mir.

 He will lose some Democratic votes, but they will not count for anybody else. They will be with held entirely. On the other hand he will draw out more votes from citizens who are greatly indiffer- ent about voting at all than any man whom the Democrts can nom mate.

morning Mr.. =Uriah G.. Hoyt drove down
Main street, and left his horse and buggy
standing in the street while he went into
an Office for the purpose OF transaeting
some business. Mr.. Hoyt remained for q
few moments, but on returning he found
his horse and buggy gone. He Immediately
informed Detective John Wren, who set to
work to ferret out the case. After getting
some clue as to the appearance of the party
who was seen to enter the vehicle, and the
course he took, he went to the lower part
of the city and waited awhile. Soon
he came across q man in buggy
answering the description Of the one lost.
He arrested the man and took him to the
station-house, where he gave his name Us
James Howard. He is tramp, and has, it
is said, been hanging about for some time.
After getting in the buggy he drove to-
wards the Mechanicsville turnpike, and in
quired Of the toll-gatherer the nearest road
to Washington, and being informed that he
was on the wrong road he returned for the
purpose Of taking the right one, but was in
tercepted by Detective Wren, as stated

The horse and buggy has been identified
as the one lost by Mr. Hoyt.

have been the subject Of so much calumny
life being perverted, and false incidents in
vented for that purpose that have long
since ceased to regard them or to deem it
important to contradict them. Injurious to
me as is the story recently published con-
cerning an alleged transaction on the rall-
road, II had at first resolved to treat this,
too, with silent Contempt. But the advice
of trustworthy friends admonishes me that
I owe it to them as well to myself to make
an exception in this last and most fagrant
instance. Accordingly I intrude myself
upon the public SO far as to pronounce the
story imputing to me dishonorable conduct
toward a lady in sleeping-car on the Hud-
son River railroad to be assolutely false, and
to declaae that stand ready to meet and re-
bel any and every accusation OF such mis-
conduct. IHEODORE IlLIoN.

Having rested and refreshed ourselves,
E. and.I, after taking turn round
to see how the men were getting on with
the carcasses, and giving directions for
preserving the heads, struck into thick
wood, on the chance OF getting a shot at
bull. We had not gone far before a
red bull, which had been lying down,
sprang up within twenty-five yards of
us, and, after running short distance,
turned and stood at bay, as though con-
templating charge, and giving E. q
point-blank shot at his head.


No result followed the shot, beyond
the speedy retreat of the bull; perhaps
it was just as well he did so, for had he

have retarded our escape, though it
would have offered no obstacle to aheavy

AMONG the guests of one of the largest
hotels at Rye Beach, N. H., an epidemic
broke out, which for some time baffled
the skill of the local physicians. Venti-
lation, drainage, water, milk and every
description of food were foupd unexcep-
tionable, till the last suspicion became
directed to the supply of ice furnished to
the hotel, and which had, during period
of six weeks been consumed in variable
quantities by five hundred persons. A
visit made to the pond whence the ice
supply had been taken in winter at once
revealed the cause of the blood poison
ing. A space at its lower end, about FIVE
hundred feet long and one hundred and
fifty wide, directly in front of the mouth
of the brook that fed the pond was a
homogeneous mass of putrescent matter,
composed of marsh mud and decompos-
ing sawdust. The water in the vicinity
was black, and when stirred emitted an
intolerable stencil. The notion that ice
purifes itself by freezing is fallacious
and contrary to experience.
