VOYAGE OF THE BALLOON ZENITH.

y nt short intervals, to grow drowsy,and to become a little pale. But thatbravo scud did not long succumb to theencroachments of .weakness^ He straiglit-ened himself up with an expression ofdetermination ; he made mo empty theliquid contained in my aspirator after J ayexperiment, find threw the ballast over-board in order to reach regions moveelevated. She] last year had been at aheight of 7,300 meters with OrQOe-Spiuelli. Ho wished tliis year to reach8,000 meters, and when Sivel wished vastobstacles had to iuterveno between himand his designs.

Oroce-Spinelli kept his oyes fastenedfor a long time on his spectroscope. Hewas radiant with pleasure and cried out," There is complete absence of the linesof the vapor of water." Then, afterhaving made these words Tinderstood, hecontinued his observations witli so muchearnestness that he begged me to placeon my note-book tho result of the read-ing of the thermometer and the barome-ter.

During the course of this rapid aacen-Rion it was very difficult tar us to givethat attention to our physiological con-dition which was necessary. We reservedour resources in this respect for tho mo-ment when we should plunge into the airof the higher regions, without a suspicionof the fatal denouement that paralyzedour effort».

REMEMBER THE PLACE,

• 28 East Huron St.,AHHOH,

[The following account of Hie most remark-able balloon voyapo over attempted is trans-lated from La Nature, of which journal M.Tissandier, the writer of the article, is chiefeditor.]

On Thursday, the 15th of April, 1875,at thirty-five miuutes past 11 o'clock inthe morning, the Zenith rose from thoearth at tho gas works of Villette. Oroce-Spinelli, Sivel and myself had takenour places in the boat. Three bags filledwith a mixture of air and oxygen, in theproportion of 70 to 100, were attached tothe circle, and from the lower side ofeach of them a tube of caoutchouc passedthrough a bottle fillod with aromaticliquid. This apparatus was designed tofurnish in the, high regions of the atmos-phere the oxygen necessary to the main-tenanco of lifo. An aspirator filled withtho essence of petroleum, which a lowtemperature does not solidify, was sus-pended outsido the boat; it was de-signed to be arranged vertically at analtitude of 3,000 meters for the pvposeof passing air into potassium tubes de-signed to test tho quantity of carbonicacid present in the atmosphere. Sivelbad attached within reach some bags ofballast which could be emptied by cut-ting the little cord which confined them.He had fixed under the boat a thickstraw mattress to moderate tho shockon descending. Croco-Bpiuelli carriedhis fine spectroscope, so frequently usedin tho preceding voyage of tho Zenith.On the ropes of the boat were suspendedtwo aneroid barometers, verified the |same morning under tho pneumatic ma-chine, and giving, the first, tho pressurescorresponding to altitudes of 0 to 4,000meters, tho second those from 4,000 to9,000 meters. Near these. in.stninicntKhung a thermometer of reddened alcoholgiving the measure of the iemperaturosdown to thirty degrees below zero ; athermometer minimum nnd maximum,which, fixed by an endless cord to thovalve in tho vertical axis of the balloon,could riso and fall in tho mass of gas.Above in a sealed bex were inclosed theeight tubes, barometric witnesses, wellpacked in sawdust, and designed to fur-nish on the return to earth tho preciseinformation of tho maximum of heightattained by tho voyagers. The instru-ment to test tho point of M. A. Penaud,some maps, some compasses, some print-ed questions to be thrown fr»m the boat,some dividers, etc., completedthe'soien-ific material of the expedition. "

Tho balloon starts ; it rises in the•nidst of a wave of light, emblem ofoy, of hope I Throe hours afterhe departure Sivel and Oroco-Spinelli

were found lifeless in the boat! Atabout 8,000 meters of altitude asphyxiahas struck with death these disciples ofscience and truth 1

It falls to the lot of their companionrmiraculously escaped from death, to shutmt for a moment grief from his heart, toIriye away sad memories and gloomyyjsions, in order to relate the facts gath-ered during tho exploration, and to tollwhat ho knows of the death of his imfor-;unate and honored friends.

From the first moments of the ascen-sion, beginning with a velocity of abouttwo meters per .second and slightly di-minishing for a distance of 3,500 meters,and then increasing under the constantfall of ballast and the action of a blazingsun to a height of 5,000 meters, Siveltook tho prudent care of letting downthe anchor and getting every t hing readyfor approaching tho earth. Hardly werewe 300 meters above the ground when hesaid with pleasure, "We have started,my friends ! I am well satisfied I" Anda little later, looking at the balloon as itswelled to a round form above tho boat," Look at the ' Zenith !' How splen-didly it fills ! Is it not beautiful I"

Croce-Spinelli said to me, " Come,Tissandier, courage ! To the aspirator, totho carbonic acid I" and I passed seventyliters of air into the potassium tubes atthe height of from -1,000 to 6,000 meters.But these tubes which I could not at theList moment press into their wadded boxwould have broken into a thousand frag-ment on the descent. These misfortunesmil be useful hereafter.

At tho altitude of 3,300 meters tho gasescaped freely from the large openingabove our heads.

At 4,000 meters the sun is glowing,the sky is resplendent, numerous cirrus-clouds stretch along the horizon,- re-sembling an O2>al vapor which formsan immense circle around the boat ofthe balloon.

At 4,300 motors wo begin to- breatheoxygen, not because we feel yet tho needof having recourse to the gaseous mix-ture, but simply to satisfy ourselvesthat our apparatus, no well arrangedby M. Limousin after the models indi-cated by M. P. Bert, is properly oer-forming its work.

At an altitude of 7,000 meters, 1 h.20 m. in the afternoon, I breathed tho

ations collected during several consecu-tive days previous to the ascension :

"We have, much ballast; must it hothrown out.'" I replied, "Wo as youpleqse." lie turned to Croco and pur.the gome question. Croco lowers hisbead in token of very energetic aflirmn-tion.

There wero in the boat at least livebags of ballast. There wan alnio.st usmuch suspended on the outside byropes. These, WB should add, wero nolonger full; Sivol had certainly estimatedtheir weight; but, it is impossible lor usto be precise in this particular. Sivel.seized his knife and cut successivelythree ropes; the threes Ifagj are emptiedand wo go rapidly up. Tlie last cleatrecollection which remains of the ascen-sion goes back to a moment a little an-terior. Croce-Spinelli wan seated hold-ing in his hand the flagon of oxygen gas;his head was slightly inclined and heseemed oppressed. I had still power tostrike with my linger the aneroid barom-eter to facilitate the movement of theneedle. Sivel raised his hand towardthe sky as if to show with his finger theupper regions of the atmosphere. Thoillustration represents tho position atthis time as accurately as possible.

Rut I had not ceased to preserve abso-lute immobility without doubting that Ihad already perhaps lost the. power ofmotion. At about 7,500 meters of eleva-tion the condition of depression in whichone is found is extraordinary. The 1 >< >< lynnd mind become feeble by degrees,gradually, insensibly, without anyconsciousness of boss of power. The.ivis no sufFering whatever. On tho con-trary there is an inward pleasure, likethe effect of a radiant light coming sud-denly upon you. We become indiffer-ent; wo think no more, of the perilous

! situation or of danger; we go up and| aro happy in doing so. The dizziness.of high regions is not a vain word; but,

I so far as I can judge by my own experi-jie las t

moment; it immediately precedes pros-tration—sudden, unexpected, irresist-ible.

When Sivel had cut the three bags ofballast at the altitude of about 7,45!) meters—that is, under a pressure of 300(this is the last figure written at thetime in my note-book)—I think I recol-lect that he seated himself on the bot-tom of tho boat and soon took the po-sition before taken by Croce-Spinelli.

During the progress of tho ascension I As for myself I was supported into the height of 7,000 meters thermome- j the corner of tho boat, where Itrie observations wero regularly made. ] kept my position, thanks to this protec-They indicate a progressive diminution i tion. I was not slow in becoming soof temperature up to 8,200 meters; and in- feeble that I could not turn to look atcrease from 3,200 to 3,700, and finally a my companions. Soon I wish to seize

the oxygen tube, but it is impossible tolift my arms. My mind, notwithstand-ing, is still very lucid. I look constant-ly at tho barometer. I have my eyesfaxed on tho needle, which comes soonto the figure denoting a pressure of 290,then 280, which it passes.

I desire to shout, " We are 8,000meters high.'" but my tongue is likeono paralyzed. Suddenly I close myeyes and fall lifeless, losing absolutelynil memory. This was about 1 h. 30 m.

At eight minutes past 2 I wake up amoment. The, balloon was rapidly dc-

down by me at half-past 3 o'clock, atthe moment of my i;eeon«l waking, and.soiled with blood by a slight cut that Imade on my hand before my first pros-tration, was found still (lying in the airthirty-five minutes after the ballooncame to tho earth.

After having given tho history of theascent of the Zenith I come to the twoimportant points which have so thor-oughly taken the attention of the scien-tific world and the public. What is themaximum height attained by tho Ze-nith; What is tho cause of the death ofCrooe-Spiuelli and of Sivel?

The fcfst i(iiestion is answered to-dayby the opening of the tubes, barometricwitnesses, invented by M. Janssen, andalready employed by Sivel and Croco-ttpineili during their ascension to 7,300meters, March 22, 1874. The examina-tion of the tubes goes to establish thefact that the feeblest pressure was from2G4 to 2G2 niillimeters, wliieh carries themaximum elevation from 8,540 to 8,001meters.

It seems to me not to be doubted thatthe death of these unfortunate men isthe consequence of atmospheric depres-sion. It is possible, to support during atime of short duration the action of thisdepression; it is difficult to sustain thocciiitiniioiis eifect during almost two con-secutive hours. Our sojourn in the up-per regions was in fact much lojiger thanthat of ;civ preceding ascension to a greatIn i;;lit. j will add that the air, beingparticularly dry, had perhaps a fataleffect.

It will now be asked what is the causeof my safety. I owe my life probablyto my peculiar temperament, essentiallylymphatic, perhaps to my complete pros-tration aud the consequent total arrestof the respiratory functions. I washungry at the moment of departure, andth<uugjit a| first that thi« circumstancewas peculiar to me; but I have sincehad proof that if Sivel had eaten, Croceliad, like myself, almost no food at all inhis stomach,

The Future of the Potato Crop.Will the beetle destroy the potato crop

and make the growth o* this importantedible; either impossible or greatly re-stricted ? We give a decided No to boththese questions, frequently asked of uspersonally, and almost every day sug-gested by the fears of our exchanges.

The potato is far too important a cropto be stamped out of existence by thebeetle. Intelligent and enterprisingfarmers would find means of growingpotatoes enough' for general use werothe difficulties four-fold what they are.

AN inexpensive;, durable method offainting old buildings is as follows :First, give them a coat of emde petrol-eum, which is the oil as it comes fromthe, wells, and which can be procured for$4 or $5 per barrel. Then mix onepound of "metallic paint," which isbrown or red benmtito iron and finelyground, to one, quart of linseed oil, andapply this over the petroleum coat. Thepetroleum sinks into the wood, andmakes a ground-work for the, iron andoil paint. The color of tho iron paintis a dark reddish brown, and is not atall disagreeable ; it is very durable, andis fire-proojf.

CUT-WORMS.—If balls of fresh cloveror other green grass be scatteredthroughout tho field, the cut-worms aresaid to bo attracted to them and crawlinto them, where they can easily be de-

reeommended by a German journal :Make n liquid paste with good fiile wheatstarch ami cold water, aud then stir inboiling water until a sti ff pas) e is formed,and immediately add White wax, orstcarine,say about one ounce of wax to apound of starch (the exact proportions,however, in any cast; can only be de-termined by experience). If it is de-sirable that the linen should be verystill', powdered gum arabie may be addedto the cold water with which the; starchis mixed. The strained starch slioiildbethoroughly rubbed into the articles afterthey have been well wrung out, afterwhich they should be ]>laced betweendry cloths and passed through the man-gle, and then rubbed on an ironing-board in one direction with a soft ragto distribute, any lumps of starch. Col-lars, etc., should bo ironed dry with ahot iron and considerable pressure. Thesticking of the iron may be prevented bydrawing it while hot over wax, and wiping it with a rag dipped m salt.

Possibly the price of potatoes might be I stroyed_.

What passed ? It is certain that th«balloon, impermeable as it was, dis-charged its -ballast and again went intothe upper regions of the atmosphere.

I come now to the fatal moment whenwe were seized by the terrible influenceof atmospheric depression. At 7,000meters wo are all upright in the boat.Sivel, for a moment languid, revived ;Croce-Spinelli remained immovable infront of me. "See," said he, "howbeautiful those clouds are!" I t wasbeautiful indeed, that sublime spectaclepresented to our eyes. Cirrus-cloudsof various forms—some elongated, oth-ers lightly mammilated—formed aroundus a circle of silver whiteness. On lean-ing over the side of the boat one saw asif down at the bottom of a well, ofwhich the cirrus-clouds and tho vaporbelow formed the wall, the surface ofthe earth, which appeared in the abyssof the atmosphere. The sky, far frombeing black and deep, was of a clear andlimpid blue ; the ardent sun burned ourfaces, notwithstanding the cold began tomake its influence felt, and wo had al-ready placed our shawls over our shoul-ders. Numbness had seized mo ; myhands were cold, frozen.

How TO FEED FOWLS.—Fowls are notfed merely for the sake of keeping themalive, aud healthy on the least possibleamount of food. Wo wish to convertthe food into flesh or into eggs. Infeeding for quick fattening, it is under-stood that the poultry should bo made toeat as much as possible. My rule fo;feeding is to throw out tho feed once aday, and let them eat as much as theywant, and no more. I want the fowls toeat all they will; tho more they eat, withinreasonable bounds, the moro eggs theywill lay, and the better condition theywill be, in. Laying fowls should take

In less words, potato growing is tobe in fewer hands until a larger propor-tion of American farmers aro more thor-ough and successful in their business.

Tho potato beetle, in common withmost insect enemies, will prove a bless-ing in disguise to American farmers.Many of them may not see this now, butten or twenty years hence they will.

Therewas iu the oar two bags of ballast that Ithrow out. Soon tho earth npproach.es,I wish to seize my knife to cut the ropeof the anchor ; impossible, to find it. Iwas like one mad, and kept calling out,"Sivel! Sivel!"

By good fortune 1 was able to placemy Land on a knife and to detach theanchor at the right moment. The con-tact with the earth was extremely vio-lent. The balloon seem to flatten, and Jbelieve, would have remained stationarybut for the violence of tho wind beforewhich it dragged. The anchor did not.bite, aud the ear glided along the surfaceof the fields; the bodies of my unhappyfriends were jolted hither and thither,and I thought that at any moment theywould fall from the boat. l.Iowc ver, Iwas able to seize the-coixlof the valv,and the balloon was quickly emptied andlodged against a tree.

The yolk of the egg sinks,too, as may be easily seen by holding ittoward a candle or the sun ; and whenshaken, a slight shock is felt if the eggis not fresh. To determine the preciseage ef eggs, dissolve about four ouncesof common salt iu a quart of pure water,and then immerse the egg. If it is oneday old, it will descend to the bottom ofthe vessel ; but if three days it. will floatin the liquid. If more than live daysold, it will come to the surface and pro-ject above in proportion to its age.

Proper sanitary measures mustbe taken, or health and successful poul-try raising cannot be expected, nor is itdeserved. Lime is an excellent purifier,and when carbolic acid is added to thowi to wash, will effectually keep away ver-min from the walls. After every clean-ing of the floor it should bo sprinkledwith carbolic acid, dilute twenty of water jto one of acid. This is ono of the bestdisinfectants and antiseptics known, andis not used as much as it deserves. Theroosts should be sprinkled with it everyweek. This whitewashing should bedono twice, at least, better three times ayear. The nests of setting hens shouldbe sprinkled with carbolic! acid to keepoff vermin ; and the coops also, whereyoung broods are kept for a time, shouldbo purified in this way. If a hen getslousy, this dilute acid will destroy themby putting it under the wings, on thehead and neck. Wood ashes is excellentto be kept in fowl-houses for lions todust themselves with.

T H E failure of Duncan, Sherman &Co., the New York bankers, last week,seems to have but little effect upon thecountry at large.

THERE are now 763 convicts in theState prison, the largest number e\erreached. All the cells are filled, andtrustworthy men have places outsidethe wards. Notwithstanding this largenumber every man is kept at work, andand there are but six men in the hospi-tal, two of whom only keep their beds.A large amount of work is being donein the shops, the men working elevenhours every day. The State is offeringthe labor of one hundred convicts tothe highest bidder.

TELEGRAMS to the Indianapolis Jour-nal from eighty of the ninety-two coun-ties in Indiana and twenty-five of theeastern counties of Illinois, furnish adiscouraging account of the conditionof the crops. The best showing forwheat is in the extreme northern tierof Indiana. In the counties elsewherebut a small part can be saved, it havingsprouted in the shock, and at least two-thirds is already ruined. Corn is infair condition, except in the low landswhich are under water. Oats and hayin the same sections are rotting on theground, and fair weather for two weekswould not enable the farmers to savemore than half a crop. The flax is al-most entirely ruined. Reports fromportiens of Ohio are not more encour-aging.

THERE are indications that the recentadvance in wheat, though largely dueto legitimate causes, was helped a gooddeal by artificial expedients. The Chi-cago grain men were even more franticthan usual, and " bulged" breadstuffsbeyond what the market would stand,and there was a slight drop in theprice of wheat on Saturday. There isa deficit in the European wheat crop,and that deficit must be filled mainlyfrom the surplus in this country. Thiswill make a steady demand for grain atgood prices for several months if specu-lators will let the market take its course.But so many operators are trying to getrich out of it that they will almost in-evitably overdo the " bull " movement,and some of them will get bitten. Thedaily fluctuations of the grain marketare of small interest to the farmers, whoare mostly content to know that priceshave advanced substantially aud willremain so.

" T H E part which reoeived the mosiapplause at the recent Bowdoin com-mencement was the plea for ' A Short-ened Yardstick.' As the speaker show-ed the innumerable blessings whichwould flow from an act of congress de-claring that hereafter a measure thirtyinches in length should be held to bethe legal yardstick, the keen satire oithe production struck every one withludicrous force. It was ' conclusivelyshown' that by this policy of shorteningthe yardstick congress would at onceadd greatly to the productions andwealth of the country, would start thewheels of business, provide labor forthe unemployed, give cheap cloth to thepoor, and in general promote virtue andgodliness. Indeed, the speaker thoughtthat the advocates of the depreciatedpaper currenoy would further theircause much better by demanding ashortened yardstick, than by spendingtheir time in the less important work oiperpetuating a shortened dollar."

THE UNIVERSITY.

The New Homeopathic aud Dental De-partments.

On the 1st of Ootober next, two newdepartments, closely allied to the med-ical department of the University, willcommence a career which all friendB ofadvancement can but wish will be aprosperous one. One at least has had along struggle with its enemies for evena foothold, and it has at last attaiuedone only through determined persis-tence. As is already well known, theLegislature at its last session, appropri-ated funds for the support of a Homeo-pathic Medical School and a DentalSchool. The Regents with promptnessat a succeeding meeting ordered thesedepartments put into operation, andset about providing the necessary build-ings, auxiliaries, and instructors. Bothschools will open simultaneously withthe old medical department and a largeportion of the work of the three will bethe same and will be pursued in com-mon, all enjoying equal facilities.

The first annual announcement ofthese new departments have just ap-peared, and to represent them faithfullywe have summarized their contents andgiven the result below.

The Homeopathic School.The terms of admission here will be

the same as for the other branch of med-icine, and the examinations will be heldat the same lime. Women will be ad-mitted on the same terms that men are,but will have separate lectures, excepton general chemistry, separate dissect-ing rooms, etc.

Students in this college will receiveinstruction in materia medica and ther-apeutics from Prof. Jones, and in theo-ry and practice of medicine from Prof.Morgan. To gain instruction in gener-al chemistry, anatomy, organic and ap-plied chemistry, physiology, ophthalmol-ogy, otology and practical anatomy, sur-gery, obstetrics and diseases of womenand children, they will attend the lec-tures on those subjects in the depart-ment of medicine and surgery.

Then follows a oomplete descriptionof the chemical laboratory and the ad-vantages it possesses for a student inmedicine. Every candidate for the degree of M. D. is required to pursue thestudy of practical medical chemistry inthe laboratory, until he has completeda course of from twelve to fifteen weeksSupplies are furnished him at the pricecurrent of New York dealers.

All the students graduating fromthe homeopathic medical college shal!be furnished with diplomas so designa-ted, signed by the president and secre-tary, and bearing the corporate seal o:the Uuiversity.

In all other respects this announce-ment contains the matter of the previ-ous announcement for the allopathicmedical school.

The Dental College.The qualifications for admission are

the same as for the medical departmentand examinations for admission will oc-cur at the same time, Wednesday andThursday, September 29th and 30th.ADVANTAGES OF CONNECTION WITH THE

UNIVERSITY.

The advantages of this connection aredetailed at some length, and the vari-ous departments of chemistry, inaterimedica and therapeutics, anatomyphysiology, surgery, etc., are fully de-scribed. Chemistry will aid the stu-dent in understanding the importantpart chemical agents play in the dis-eases of the dental apparatus. He willattend lectures on organic and inorgan-ic chemistry, besides which he will en-joy the advantages of the chemical lab-oratory, for the practical study of allthose agents or secretions that concernbis future needs in the prevention andcure of disease. Special instructionwill be given in the anatomy and his-tology of all that pertains to the oralapparatus to give the student throughacquaintance with the region of his fu-ture professional practice. The dentalstudent will be greatly benefited bythe lectures on obstetrics and allied sub-jects, since the conditions of maternityand the provisions therefor so often dis-turb the system. In short, the advan-tages offered by a fully equipped medi-cal college are of such importance thatthe attendance upon at least one entercourse of medical lectures is regardedas the proper foundation for the subse-quent study of this specialty.

OPERATIVE DENTISTRY.

The principles involved in the treat-ment of and operations upon the natu-ral teeth and adjacent parts for theirpreservation and restoration to health,will be carefully investigated. Thiswill include not only the diseases of theteeth but also the remedies to be appli-ed and the best modes of operating inall the details of condition, materials,instruments and appliances.

In the clinical department the aimwill be to give the most thorough practical instructions in the operative de-tails, and in the preparations of theinstruments and appliances used. Theoperating rooms will be ample and wellarranged, and fully suppled with allthe requisite facilities, such as chairs,engines, etc. All valuable applian-ces will be made available and in-structions in their u«e given. Thestudents are required to furnish theirown instruments for filling, and theseshould be selected under the directionof the clinical teacher. Every memberof the senior class, at least, will be re-quired to spend a part of each day inthe clinic room.

MECHANICAL DENTISTRY.

Shecinl reference will be given to theprinciples involved in the restoration ofthe voice and natural expression of thefeatures. The student will be requiredto supply themselves with the necessarytools and appliances for the laboratory.The manipulation and management ofthe precious metals with reference toto their application to dental purposeswill receive special attention.

The advantages of the museum arereferred to, stating that there are morethan 100,000 specimens contained in itand accessible to all students who desireto study them. In addition to the li-brary of medical literature of 1,600 vol-umes, a library of dental science will bespeedily supplied.

CONDITIONS OF GRADUATION.

The candidate .oust be twenty-onerears of age. He must furnish evidence

of good moral character. He must de-vote three years to the study af his pro-fession, in connection with attendanceupon a full course of medical lectures.He must attend two full oourses of leo-;ures in the Dental College, or oneourse elsewhere, and the last one here,

and we recommend that he attend threecourses regularly. He must pursue thestudy of anatomy by dissecting the or-gans and structure upon which he pro-poses hereafter to operate. He mustpursue the study of chemistry in thelaboratory, or sustain an examinationin the studies there pursued. He willbe required to exhibit for examinationevidence of his skill in operating in themouth of patients, for which the infirm-ary will provide the oportunity. Hemust Bustain an examination satisfac-tory to the faculty in all the branchestaught.

A graduate of the medical collegemay enter the senior class, and if foundqualified may graduate after two yearshave been devoted to the study of den-tistry. A dentist who has been in re-putable practice for four years mnysubmit to an examination, and if ap-proved «ntes the senior class, althoughhe may not have previously attendedlectures.

The fees and expenses are the sameas for the medical department.

In addition to the above named pro-fessors, students in the Dental Collegewill receive instructions in anatomyphysiology, pathology, chemistry niate-riti medica, therapeutics and surgeryfrom the professors of these respectivebranches in the department of Medicineand Surgery of the University.

Currency and Debt.The aggregate indebtedness of th

country is appalling. To the nationadebt, we must add not only the obligations of State, counties, cities, • townsand villages, but the burdens'wbteh oppress corporations of every charactermany business enterprises, and nearl;every individual. Even religious aucbenevolent societies are not exempt fromdebt. If this indebtedness were alpaid, and particularly if the accountwith foreign countries were all closedit is doubtful if the country, as a wholewould be any richer than it was in 1860The South is certainly much poorermillions of wealth have been wiped outand its vast trade with the north hatbeen materially affected. The impoverished condition of the country is nowseriously felt, and as individuals and interests are seeking to clear themselvesfrom debt, the begin to realize the destructive effects of civil war.

The need of more cash has led manyto think that if the country had morecurrency times would be easier. This isa great mistake. There is already morecurrenoy in the country than-it can ab-sorb. The great need of a er"£dit systemis confidence ; but the era of speculationcame to a close amid the destruction oconfidence. Hence, no man can to-dayobtain currency except on good securi-ty ; he must have that which is reallyconvertible into cash, or he cannot ob-tain the circulating medium he desires

If the federal government would to-day print $100,000,000 of greenbacksno one could obtain them without anequivalent convertible into cash. Suchan issue would add to the national debt$100,000,000, and it would represent in-dividual indebtedness to an equa"amount, if taken by any who have notnow the cash. The greenbacks must beredeemed in gold some day, or the gov-ernment must repudiate. And businessmen and interests must some day meettheir obligations or become bankruptThe cry for more currency, therefore, isa confession of impending bankruptcyThe federal government has avoidedbankruptcy for 15 years, merely by issu-ing notes payable on demand, and it hasrepudiated its obligations every daysince. If the government was a corpo-ration which could be put into a courtof bankruptcy, it would have beenplaced there long ago ; but as it cannotbe, it is merely a moral bankrupt, andmust remain so for an indefinite period.

It would be folly to increase the gov-ernment debt by swelling the volume oicurrency. Such a course would availnoting. If any one needs more cash—which is all that is meant when he sayshe needs more curreucy—he can secureit by obtaining good security, and hecan obtain it in no other way. Moneycan be borrowed at easy rates of inter-est, on good security. If these printedbits of paper which we call money wereindefinitely increased, their purchasingpower would decrease until they becameas valueless as continental or confeder-ate currency. In such an event intereston a single "dollar" might well decreasealso; but the decrease would be of nobenefit to the borrower.

Currency should be adapted to thewants of trade ; but who can tell whatthe needs of trade are r" There aremany forms of business paper, and agovernment currency is but one. Otherclasses of paper enter into the mediumof exchange, but all classes alike pre-serve a basis of value given and of valuereceived on the part of giver and re-ceiver alike. It is impossible for a manto receive a dollar in currency withoutgiving an equivalent in value for it, orpledging an equivalent, in case he doesnot return it when his note is due. Ifthose who clamor for more currency,therefore, would address themselves tothe necessity of providing a basis ofvalue for it, they would be wiser.—Albany Argus,

The Most Exteusive Cranberry Field InMichigan.

Perhaps the largest field devoted tothe raising of cranberries in this Stateis situated about six miles northwest ofCapac Village in St. Clair county, andis owned by G. S. Parks and anothergentleman, |both of whom came fromWisconsin last fall and purchased thefarm. It comprises 2,200 acres, and forit they paid little more than two dollarsper acre. Only about 120 acres arehigh enough for farming purposes, theremainder being devoted to raising thecranberries. The marsh is nearly sur-rounded by water, and all along oneside there is a chain of lakes, skirted onboth banks by beautiful groves on highlands. The water in the lakes is muchhigher than the marsh and thiB is con-sidered a great advantage. The ownersearly this spring began extensive im-provements in the way of providingditches on the marsh for the purpose ofirrigating in the spring and draininglater in the season. A gang of work-men is now at work on one of the mainditches, which is being constructedaround the borders of the marsh. Thedirt is being taken out and piled on theouter bank, forming a wall to keep thewater confined when iirigation begins.This ditch is eight feet wide and will beover five miles long. In addition to thisthere will be a number of large ditches

,nd smaller ones to connect throughouthe field to aooalerate irrigation in theroper season and to more thoroughlyIraiu the field after the berries havo set

and are ripening. A visit was rja<te tohe niaish Saturday. It was a sight toee the ditchers at work. The soil to a;reat depth below the surface is maderoni the rank growth of grasses thatlave been growing and rotting on theround for years past. The ditching

was performed very rapidly, and the in-struments used were hay kuives withong handles to cut the surface in

squares of nearly a foot, and forks with.he tines bunt at right angles to thebandies to pull these squares out anday them on the bank. The soil being

made up from vegetable growth hungtogether and a foot below the surfacewhere it was more rotten, the squareswould easily break off. The men woulddig over eight rods each dny. Themarsh was very soft as the water stoodnearly even with the surface. Themain ditches will connect with one ofthe lakes at the head of the marsh andabove it, by which irrigation will becarried on. A few years ago the marshburned over, and since then but fewberries have been picked, as the vineswere killed down. A rank growth ofvines, nearly covering the entire field,has since sprung up, which are begin-ning to be ir, and a full and heavy cropwill be grown in about ;two years.There is now considerable grass grow-ing over the marsh, but the vines areslowly crowding it out and in a fewyears none will be left.

There are several of these marshes inthis part of the county, but none so ex-tensive nor as well situated as this one.If the vines grow well the farm willprove a rich investment, as the landwill produce from one hundred to fivehundred bushels per acre and will netthe growers at least three dollars perbushel. These gentlemen are also ex-teusive growers of cranberries in Wis-consin.—Free Press.

Damage to Crops in Various Localities.CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 1.—Specials to

the Commercial to-night give accountsof heavy rains during the past twenty-four hours in Iudianna and Illinois, anda further damage to crops. Danville,Illinois, reports all the bottom landsalong the Vermillion River overflowed,and that the stream is full of floatingwheat shocks.

The Commeicial, Somerset, Ohio, spe-cial reports a terrific hail-storm this af-ternoon, with stones the size of a largehickory nut, followed by heavy rain;Considerable damage was done to theHocking Valley Railroad.

The Enquirer special from Circleville,Ohio, reports the Sciota River veryhigh and still rising. The bottom landsare all under water and considerablewheat floated off.

A special to the same paper from Ur-bana, Ohio, says the creeks are swollento rivers, and all the flat lands are in-undated. Rain is still falling and thestreams rising. Wheat has alreadybeen destroyed by rain, and the armyworm is cutting the grass and oats.

A special from Lima, Ohio, reportsserious damage done to the crops inthat vicinity from rain and the arm;worm. Corn is reported as badly beaten down by the water.

The Enquirer's Oxford, Ohio, speciasays the most severe rain of the seasonfell for two hours. Creeks are reportethigher than for many years, and covered with fencing, timber, wheat, oatand barley. The Cincinnati, Dayton &Hamilton Railroad line has run notrains to-night owing to landslides amwashes.

LEXINGTON, August 1.—The almoscontinuous hard rains of the past weekhave been supplemented during thpast twenty four hours with still heavier storms. The river bottoms consequently are flooded, and the crops aresuffering seriously. The Miami Riverand tributaries are at flood height, higher than it has been at this season fortwenty or twenty-five years. At thispoint no serious damage has been donebut the bridge abutments are sufferingThe tobacco crops are almost ruined bythe storm. Oats, corn and meadowsare suffering great damage by the armyworms, and wheat is rotting in theshock. The weather is still gloomy to-uight and more rain is threatenedPublic feeling about business is depress-ed in consequence of the damageccrops.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 1.—Rain continuedmost of last night and a drizzle fell uptill noon to-day. The mercury has fall-en about 60 degrees and the wind isfrom the northwest, but still very cloudyand threatning- The four prinicipairailroads running east from here areeither flooded in places or damaged sothat trains cannot run, and most of theroads in this state are similarly situatedThe river has risen here three feet sincelast uglit, and is now rising at the rateof two inches per hour. Accounts fromUpper Mississippi, Missouri and Illinoissay all are rising rapidly, and the tribu-taries within two hundred miles of hereare greatly swollen, many of them pour-ing out floods of water. Dispatchesfrom various parts of this State say im-mense damage is done to crops and oth-er farm property. In the Spring Riverbottom alone the damage to the farmersis estimated at $1,500,000. The Osage,Samine and Blackwater Rivers are high-er than ever before, and in faot all thestreams in the State are at flood heightand causing great destruction to prop-erty. The railroads are also sufferinggreatly from washouts, loss of bridgesand overflows. Trains are badly delay-ed or stopped entirely. Turnpike roadsare also being washed away in places,bridges destroyed rnd travel impeded.There has probably never be so wide-ly extended damage done in the Statebefore.

— Frank Bishop, a young man tweuty-oueyears of age, met with a very severe accidentabout two months since, and died from the ef-fects of it on Thursday of last week. He wasat -work in a brick yard near Brighton, whensome machinery about the engine caught hisclothing and tore away a portion of the fleshon his side before he could be rescued, leavinghis lungs exposed. He was carefully treated,however, and the prospects were that he wouldrecover. But he became imprudent, fell intoa relapse and died quite suddenly.

— The target shoot by Company B last Fri-day was quite an enjoyable affair. As it wasintended for recreation, failure to make bril-liant shots disappointed no one. The targetswere placed at a distance of 500 yards andover 100 shots were fired before they were hit.At length Private C. A. B. Hall scored 22 and24 at two shots in succession, and carried offthe first prize; which was a silver medal. Ser-geant Chris.

The prospects are that thesame state of affairs will continue to exist, atleast they will if the officers do their duty.Along nearly all our streets noxious weeds aregrowing, which needs cutting, and there is nobetter way to have it done than to setthese "jailbirds" to work at it, undercharge ot an officer. By this means the streetswill bear a different appearance and the num-ber of occupants of the jail lessened. Letthe Commou Council adopt an ordinance forthis purpose.

Subscriptions for the payment ofthe bill of purchase are footing up rapidly-The Cougregationalists will continue to occupythe church in the afternoon till their new oneis completed.

— Many towns are adopting an excellentplan in regard to tramps, who are overrunningthe country, soliciting aid to get from oneplace to another, in many instances demand-ing it as their right, and showing violencetoward women and children when refused it.The authorities set them to work to pay fortheir board and lodging, Formerly there wasa pity felt for these ragged, wanderingwretches, but people have lost all sympathy,and have concluded that the only way to getrid of them is to starve them out, or compelthem to do some useful work. It only breedstramps to board and clothe them. At thisseason of the year there is plenty of work tobe had in the country at fair wages; but inmany places where they have been offeredwork they have scornfully refused it, and sud-denly leU for the next town. The authoritiesot this city have furnished board and lodgmgfor ninety days for three of these lazy vaga-bonds at the House of Correction during thepast week. If every city would use this orsimilar measures, these vagrants would soonlearn that they must work tor what they eat,drink and wear.

The excursion on Wednesday to Grosse Islwas a very enjoyable affair. The morningdawned with tokens of pleasant weather, ancmany who had up to this time been undecidedhesitated no longer to pack their picnic diunerand join the throng which was moving towarcthe depot at an early hour.

Thirteen coaches had been provided to con-vey the excursionists to Detroit, and long be-fore the time for the departure ot the trainthese were filled to their utmost capacity. AtYpsilauti three more coaches were hitched onand, thus accomodateil, 1,500 people movedslowly into Detroit. But the journey so faiwas not without its pleasure, for companies ofyoung people and squads of muldlo-aged inei;tud women filled the cars with their laughter.The wants of the hungry were amply suppliedby peanut aud candy " boys," who sold " prizepackages without prizes in thorn," aud enter-prising young ladies dealt out bouquets formoney.

Al length the first stage iu the journey wascompleted aud the throng got aboard thesteamer .Fortune. Some few timid ones stay-ed behind in the city, not caring to risk a ridewith so many upon a "small vessel," as theyexpressed it, but the Fortune proved equal tothe occasion, aud bore her burden without somuch as a quiver.

Shortly before 12 o'clock the boat quietlymoved away from her moorings and headeddown the river. The water was at first scarce-ly ruffled by the wind, and the weather seemedspecially prepared for this excursion. The skywas overcast by hazy clouds, which temperedthe hot rays of the sun, aud yet the sky wasfar from gloomy. The atmosphere was warmbut became gradually cooled by the risingbreeze which came up from the lake as theboat neared the mouth of the river. Thepilot kept the middle of the channel, and gaveboth shores equally to the scrutiny of his pass-engers. On the ground of both Uncle Samand her Majesty they felt bound to be partialto neither, and so justly admired all things oueither side. Sandwich and Wyandotte in suc-cession appeared in view but uot near enoughto show their full size and importance. Steamyachets, tugs, steamers, sailboats, rafts, scowsetc., crowded the river everywhere, aud thesalutations from one to the other and with theFortune were always friendly and abundant.

At length Grosse Isle appeared in view, andthen its cultivated farms and residences, audsoon the eye of the excursionist caught sight ofthe Alexander House. Here all landed in duetime and proceeded at once to beautitul grovesa half mile from the shore. Dinner was eatenwith all the earnestness that usually accom-panies the midday meal, when not served tillhalf past one.

From this time till the boat left on the returntrip at half past three, the day was spent in• ambling about the groves, resting in the spa-cious hotel, rowing upon the river, »nd a hun-dred other things that were full of enjoyment

The trip up the river was more delightfulthan the outward " voyage," if such a thingcould be. As their was plenty of time tospare, the captain kindly steamed up by De-troit to Belle Isle, giving a quite favorableview of a portion of the city, and returning onthe other side of the river lay Canada at ourfeet. Ou landing there was no time left tovisit the city, so the cars were boarded, whichat nine o'clock had transported their cargosafely to Ann Arbor.

Ou leaving Detroit, rain set in, but it lastedonly a short time ; with this exception unpro-pitious weather kept far aloof.

Not a single unhappy incident marred thepleasure of the day ; uo one was hurt by ac-cident, fell overboard into the river, was sea-sick, or was left behind. Order, perfect enjoy-ment, and good feeling reigned supreme. Allwere truely thankful to the M. E. SundaySchool on their return for this trip. The ex-cursion to Grosse Isle will be talked over timeand again, and leaves in more than one diarybe rilled with its description.

The profits were nut the least pleasing featureof tne excursion, as upwards ot $500 remain-ed after all expenses were paid. This sumgoes to the benefit of the Sunday School, andIt will be expended in a one hundred dollar ad-dition to the library, a new carpet for theirroom, and other improvements.

but fortunately the flames were arrested be-fore any damage was done. This is the thirdtime that building has had narrow escapesfrom hre.

SPECIAL COMMITTEES.

City Attorney read the report of the committee appointed at last meeting, relativebondsmen of S. M. Webster, late City Treasurer, as follows :

Your committee, after as careful an examnation as the means within their reach woul

permit, find that the said Webster was indebt-ed to the city at the time of his resignation inthe sum of §1,435, and that the greater part ofthat sum was due the city and unpaid at theclose of the first official term, April,1873. Some ot the sureties on the first bond,executed Dec. 12, 1872, are upon the secondbond, executed May 27, 1873, to wit: JohnF. Miller, E. J. Johnson and John Moore. Inaddition to these there are en the second bond,who were not on the first, J. T. Swathel, A. A.Gregory, F. Sorg, E. J. Knowlton, J. S. Now-land and D. M. Finley. These sureties saythey are now and always were willing to meetall deficiencies, or make good to the city everyiollar of which Mr. Webster was a defaulterfor the term for which they became his sure-ties, mid have made a special deposit in theFirst National Bank of $224—au amount, as;he claim, sufficient to cover all the loss thelity hns sustained by the treasurer for the term'or which they were his sureties, and the costcreated by the suit commenced in the CircuitJourt upon the bond they signed. The aboveamount is subject to the order of the city upondismissal of the suit and cancelling of thebond of May 27, 1873. Mr. Webster was ap-jointed his own successor May 27, 1873, (ateast that is the date of the bond). The most

satisfactory method of arriving at the amountof the liabilities of those on the bond givenHay 27, 1873, is to take that term and to con-sider it by itself, just as though he had suc-ceeded some other person, instead of being hisown successor. There can be no doubt that;he sureties are liable for every dollar in hislands as Treasurer, carried over into his sec-

ond term and for all money received by himas said Treasurer during said second term. Its equally true his duties as Treasurer are forhe yoar for which he has been appointed anaor which the bond is given, and not lor anyormer year. The bond given covers the offi-

cial term only, and the official defaults of thetreasurer during the term for which the bond

was given the sureties on that bond are liable ;>ut your committee cannot see upon whatirecept of law or equity they ^ould or ought to>e held responsible for any ot his official actsor a term anterior to the term for which they>ecame his sureties. It seems to us that theylave not entered into any such contract. Tollustrate, supposing that ou the last day of hisirst term, ending April, 1873, the Treasurerad m his hands f 1,000 of the city's funds ; as

iis own successor he carried over into his sec-md term and charged himself with #100, giv-ng the city credit for that amount, aud appro-bating to his own use $900, he was then a

defaulter in the sum of $'J00 before he enteredupon the duties of the second term. Surely theureties on the bonds for the second term could

not legally be held, and ought not in equity,or the reason the defalcation did uot occur inhe term for which they were sureties. Theyould only be held for the $100 and all monieseceived by him as Treasurer during the sec-ud term. Your committee would respectful-y ask the Council to empower them with au-honty to secure the services of a good ac-ountant to find as near as may the defalcationif the Treasurer Webster, tor the term forphich the bond was given dated May 27, 1873,ud upon ascertaining the amount, and theureties upon said bond paying the same, withhe costs of the suit now pending on said bond,o the City Treasurer that your committee beuthorized to instruct the City Attorney toismisa the suit and caucel the bond datedlay 27, 1873.

On motion ot Aid. Rogers the report was ac-epted, and the committee were authorized tomploy au accountant as asked for in the re-oit, with instructions to report to the Council.

THE SLAUHHTEE HOUSE QUESTION1.

The following memorial signed by all theutchers of the city, was presented, nearly11 of whom were in attendance at the meeting:b the Honorable Mayor and Common Councilof the City of Ann Arbor:We, the undersigned, butchers and meat

ealers of the city of Ami Arbor, would here-y most respectfully ask you to reconsiderour late action directing a removal of ourlaughter houses from their present location,nd will here with endeavor to show youhy we consider a decree of such a sweeping

haracter injurious to the interests to the iu-rests of a good number of hard-working,

aw-abidiug citizens.A few years ago, within the remembrance ofost of you, we had our slaughter houses lo-

ated in the secoud and third wards, aloug AI-en'8 creek. We were then ordered away downo the river where we are now located, and atreat expense and trouble bought lands andrected buildings. City authorities, Board oflealth. as well as the people at large, werenghly satisfied until now.

It may be the case that lately some of theremises complained of have not been keptlean enough, and, if this be so, remedies foriie correction of any nuisances, can witninour power, be applied without a recurranceo measures of such severity.

Slaughter houses are kept within the limitst all cities of the world, and can be kept sos to not iu|ure the health of the people.If you will, however, make an impartial

omparison between the looks of the gentle-men composing your honorable Board oflealth with those of your humble petitioners,ou will, we think, come to the conclusionhat, as far as health is,concerned, said geutle-en would perhaps do well in spending part

f their valuable lives in our slaughter houses.The removal of our slaughter houses is au

mpossibility for us, they cost us upwards of110,000. We are men who are doing theirbare in turning capital into useful employ-

ment. Our yearly business amounts to over100,000; we are paying heavy taxation; were building houses for our business and homesor our families, whom we support among you,ud we hope that such harsh decrees, depriv-ug us of the use of our property gained byard labor, will uot find grace either in yourr the people's eyes. We should have to use"' legal means to resist such a law ; this wouldf course cost the city and ourselves a goodeal of mouey, and we hope that our representa-ives will not put us to such unnecessary;rouble.

But we repeat, that we thall be thankful toyou for most stringent and severe laws for the:eeping of such premises in the most orderly-

way, and in accordance with the rules of theutmost cleanliness. We have now engaged aman whose business is to daily take from thelaughter bouses all bones and other remnantseft after killing—a measure which will go agood ways toward improving matters. Weshall gladly submit to any regulation half-wayeasonable, to meet the wishes of yourselves

and the Board of Health.

Accompanying the above was a petition,igued by about 100 citizens, In favor of thegranting of the requests in the a,bove.

Leave being granted, Judge Lawrence ad-dressed the Council in behalf of the butchers.

Ou motion, the memorial aud petition wereaid upon the table.

By Aid. McDonald: Thaff*a standing com-mittee be appointed, whose duty it shall be tovisit the various slaughter houses, at least oncen each week, aud inspect their condition.

Adopted, and Aid. McDonald, Cate and Smithappointed such committee.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Aid. Besiruer moved that the Marshal be in-structed to cause to be removed forthwith, un-der the provisions ot Ordinance No. 91, thestairs leading to the second story of the Bots-tord block, corner Main and Huron streets.

Leave being granted, D. Cramer addresseethe Council in opposition to the motion, claimiug that several of the same kind of encroach-ments existed within the city, and that if onewas removed all should share the same fate.

The motion was amended fixing the time fothe removal on the first day of October, antincluding all other stairs and obstructions attached to business blocks in the city. The votebeing taken the motion was lost.

By Aid. Cate: That a committee of two bappointed to ascertain the expense of a striof land to connect the north end of Statstreet with the Huron river, to afford a publipassage to the river for watering purposesAdopted, and Aid. Cate and Seabolt appointe'such committee.

By Aid. King: That the chairman of Sidewalk Committee shall have the power to establish the grades ior sidewalks in the soverawards. Adopted.

He settled atGreenville, which, during all the yearsof his busy and eventful life, continuedto be his home.

A Brio!and Authentic Accountofthe CruelSlaughter.

Ill September, 1857, an emigrant trainfrom Arkansas, consisting of about 150people1, men women, and children, with40 wagons, 800 head of cattle, and 00horses and mules, passed through theSalt Lako region, bound to California.Their property was valuable, the proceedsof it being afterward declared to exceed$30,000. The numbers and strength ofthe party afforded protection to a trainof disaffected Mormons, who took thisoccasion to flee from the, horrors of SaltLake valley. Sept. 10, while camped inMountain Meadow, about 320 miles westof Salt Lake City, the emigrants wereattacked by a band of white peoplepainted and dressed like Indians. Theemigrants defended themselves withspirit after the. (irst dash, in which theylost ten or twelve men, was made bytheir assailants. Behind their barricadeof wagons they kept up such a vigorousfusilado that alter a siege of live daysthe t-nemy withdrew. The camp wasnextvisited by a wagon bearing a whiteflag and containing Jacob Haight, thenono of the Presidents of the MormonChurch, and John 1). Lee, a Mormon' 'ishop, and also adopted son of Brigham1'onng.

These men professed to be on goodterms with the " Indians," and offered tonet as mediators in the interests of peace.It was propsed that the emigrants shouldmarch out from camp, leaving everythingbehind, including their guns. The Mor-mon emissaries agreed to furnish a guardthence to the sctttements. These con-ditions were accepted. Tho little pro-cession began to move, when it was tiredupon by the guard, tho so-called "In-dians" joining. The men were firstkilled ; the women and children ran ona few hundred yards and then fell. Theplunder was taken to Salt Lake City andthe adjoining settlements, and divided.Mr. J. Forney, Superintendent of In-dian Affairs for Utah, testified that thechurch dignitaries alone received prop-perty estimated to bo worth $30,000.The skeletons of 120 persons were sub-sequently collected on that fatal field andburied in one mound. A pile of rocksmarks the spot, and on a huge cress,erected as a monument, was placed theinscription, "Vengeance is mine, saiththe Lord."

I t will be observed that tho number ofprofessional people in England is twicethat of the United States ; that this isthe greater agricultural country by 100per cent., and that England is thegreater* mechanical, mining and manu-facturing country by 200 per cent. I nthe proport ion of persons supported byagriculture France is much more liketlio United States than like England andWales. The proportion of the popula-tion engaged in agriculture in the sev-eral European States is said to be as fol-lows : Russia, 8G per cent. ; Italy, 77 ;Sweden, 71 ; Belgium, 51 ; France, 50 ;Prussia, 4 5 ; Austria, 25 ; Spain, 2iHolland, 16. If the domestic and in-definite population of England andWales is distributed among those en-gaged in agriculture in the same propor-tion as in other occupations, it will giveabout 20 per cent, of their populat ion asdependent upon agriculture.

A noteworthy feature of the Brit ishcensus of 1871 is that tho proportion ofpersons employed in agriculture in En-gland and Wales, as to the general popu-lation, has gradually declined since 1851,

Ac-cordingly they had authorized a baud ofrobbers, called Dttfiites, to make thescheme look religious. On this sameground of communism the Bedouin Aral >sfollow robbery as a religious profession.Theso facts, and numerous other detailsof events connected with the MountainMeadow Massacre, lix the responsibilityof that crime npon the Mormon leaders.Indians living south of Salt Lake relatedall the particulars of the affair, impli-cating President Haight and BishopsHigbco and Lee. Some, also, of theMormons engaged in the massacre sub-sequently confessed their guilt.

Uiitnmings, then Governor of the Ter-rilorv, wad :< v»T:ik, vain man, and failedto give the United States court any sup-port in the attempt to ferret out andpunish tho, murderers. Judge Cradle-baugh, then one of the associate justicesfor that circuit, opened court and en-deavored to bring to justice the guilty

in Salt Lake City. Tho grand jm-y refused to indict their own brethren ; andwhen the indomitable judge, dismissingthe jury, issued bench warrants for thearrest of the accused persons, they fledto the mountains until the trouble had" blown over."

jomparing the Social con-dition of several countries are extremelyinteresting and curious. For example,the proportion of lawyers and their as-sistants to the whole population in thesecountries is as follows :Rngland and Wales, one to each (i.">:United'States, one toeacb !>4(T r.Ttie..'. one to eiieh l,07(Belgium, one to eacb 2,7(HrtiiBBia, one to each 12,000

Litigation is, therefore, comparativelyunknown among tho Germans, whil'iamong the English-speaking people it isa great (mid expensive) institution. IImay be remarked that our German pop-ulation readily fall into American cus-toms iu this respect as soon as they settledown among us.

The returns show the following pro-portion of clergymen to population :United States, one to each 87!England and Wales, one to eaeh 71?Russia, one to eaeh 831France , one to each 'I'.VItaly, one to eaeh 14'.Spa in, one to eaeli ,". I

The vast disproportion of persons inreligious orders between the Catholic andProtestant countries in the active list ifimmediately noticeable. An interestingfact is, tliat the Dissenters are iDoreasin.cvery much more rapidly in Englandthan members of the Established Church.The per cent, of increase of Dissentersfrom 1851 to 1871 was 44. G , and of com-municants in the State Church 19.5.

The proportion of physicians (includ-ing chemists and druggists) in Englani"and Wales is ono in each C61 of the in-habitants, and in the United States (ex-
