Eastman Time*: “From a private letter we learn that sheep are dying at a considerable rate in tbe lower edge of Laurens. The writer thinks it is cause-1 from eating something poi sonous. ‘for the sheep are fat, and will drop detd while feeding along, without any appar ent evidence of disease; nor does the carcass show any signs except foaming at the mouth,’ 1 his strikes us as raiher startling news. We remember a good many years ago, and so far as w know it may be true yet, that parties drivirg sheep to the Savannah market were more or less troubled. When within a few miles of the city, It was said there was a poisonous wed, of which sheep were very fond, but would soon die after eating it. Can it be that this weed, or s -mething similar, has found its way up the count'y • Since writing the above we learn from Dr. J. 31. Buchan of our town, who is a large she- p raiser, that sheep have been dving in b<s range at an unusual rate since shearing time. He thinks the fat dity is attributable to natural causes, superinduced by the overcrowded con dition of the range in certain localities.” Sandersville Herald: “On Sunday afternoon San-iersville was visited with a heavy rain, ac c n.pvnird with considerable thunder and lightning, as well a' with hail and violent wind. The rods upon the Gilmore House. Mrs Brook ins’ residence, and the houses of Mr. William Oallaher and Mr M. H. Boyer were all struck by lightning, but happily none were injured, iu each case the current running harmlessly down theiods. The points at the top of the rods of Mr Boyer's house were fused by the tiish. His little son was for a time much stunned. A tree near Mr. Minton’s residence was com pletely riven to splinters by a stroke of the subtle fl lid. It is hu: seldom that so many points as near each other are struck during one storm The hail on Harris street beyond tbe court house square was very heavy, and crops of Mr. R T. Pounds. B Hooks, and others on the road towards Mr. Bryant Watkins’ residence are completely rid died. A number of panes of glass were broken out on Harris street, we learn. Feveral shade trees were blown down by the wind, which re sembled a cyclone in its rotary motion. Bo thick were they near Mr. Tapper’s and also rear Mrs. Happ’s residence, that the debris had to be removed before vehicles could pass One tree was blown across tbe residence of Mr B. R Smith, on Haynes s-reet. We are grateful, however, to be able to add that we have no casualty to report.’’ Baiubtidge Democrat: • “Our readers cer tainly Lave not yet forgotten the terrible tragedy which look place near the city on the night of the 17th of July last. It was the assassination of Mrs. Brockett. in which three ra'serable wretches, yclep* men, played dif ferent part* The three men were Walter T. Williams. John Williams and Robert Durham Tbe murder w.vs arranged by Walter Williams, who paid his brother John and Robert Durham, after plying them with mean whisky, to go to the humble log cabin of the widow Brockett and take her life. He (Walter) then goes to a neighbors house Mid spends the night, in order to prove an slibi before the Coroner's jury, which ha knew was inevi table. Durham and John Williams went to Mrs Brockett's house, saw her lying on the floor, with her little child beside her, when Durham flred the conten’s of the gun, buck and small shot, into the victim, killing her al most inst ntly, and wounding the child. Such, in brief, are the facts under the testimony. The mea were all arrested two weeks after the murder, and all waived a commitment trial and went to jail. Learned, able and eloquent legal counsel was employed by the Williams brother*, aad Judge Fleming called an extra term of the Superior Court last August to try them. After several days i’ was decided to try John Williams alone. For over a week, we ra.y *sy. the trial ragei with a fury seldom known. Delay seemed the poliev of the defense, and immediate trial that of the prosecution. How ever, Williams went to tritf. and the jury re turned a verdict by a vote of 8 to 4 of imprison ment for life. Bentence was passed, counsel appealed to the Supreme Court, w here the ca.-e now stands unreached, and John Williams has been in ja.il h re ever sirce awaiting their de cision Kail had never been asked ia a crime so shocking and the other prisoners were glad to wait in durance vile the trial of their crime. In the meantime the lamented Judge Flem ing died, and Judge Warren, a confirmed in valid, was appointed in his stead, hence the other trials have never been prr-ce ded with. Thee unsel for Williams, however, were never idle—always at work. Bo they asked Judge Warren to'turn Walter T. Williams out under bond, and to fix his bail. This the Judge con sented to do, and did do, fixing the amount of bail at s:x thousand dollars! Our community were startled, sh'eked, stu; efied. when this announcement was made, bix thousand dol lars bail for the instigator of one of the most foul, bloody, inexcusable and damnable as sassinations that ever stained the records of crime I Last Tue day the bond was given to th Sheriff, and he a', once set the prisoner free.” Reply to “.(lockbolder” and “Philo J unfa*.” Savannah, June 23.— Editor Morning Atm: it would appear from the communi cation of “Stockholder,” In his number five, that I am called upon to make reply. I have already presented my views of the case. I have eimp'y used the figures o' his rittd ‘ Philo Junius.” I have deducted the surplus from last year ($39(5,919 73) be cause they don’t belong: in this year’s earn ings, and “Stockholder” knows It. I wish “Stockholder” to understand that I have used no figures of my own, but have merely criticised those of “Philo JunlU9,” and asked for the real facts In the case. I confess that as yet I am not the least en lightened, unless It be In a few minor item*, which are so small that my opinions and fears remain unaltered. Why does “ Stockholder ” not refute the figures given by his Mend, “Pnllo Jumu?,” and corrected by m> * In mv statement (taking the figures of “Philo J unius” without the surplus from last year) the condition of the road at the end of the fiscal year will appear just about as I have made it, and I now call the atten tion of “Stockholder,” “Philo Junius,” and the public to this fact. Both of these gentlemen may be directors for aught 1 know, and if “Stockholder” is one, he must certainly be one of the old di rectors, and, being so, it comes with grace from him to ssy “we should not blame the Innovators for the large debts contracted In I*o and 1881.” He may do himself an in justice if he keeps on at this rate. Suppose, row, I admit that “Stockholder” is right (which I do to give mat ters the most favorable light possible), and the public will see at once that the divi dends this year have not b?en paid our of net earning?, but out of the surplus from last year, and the various dividend* on stock*, etc , owned by the Central. Now, “B‘ockholder” knows that those same sources of revenue cannot bs depended upon next year, for they s'dd within ihe last sixty dsv* th" $300,(W0 Mobile and Girard bonds and 8,000 shares of 8 u b west erns tock. We do not question wby they sold them, we simply know they are gone for ever, and there must have ueeu some urgent nec salty or good reason for disposing cf the in. He says he has an abldkMt faith that mother earth will sm'le tuaWpropltiouely uj on ns next year. Faith and figures don’t work In the same harness. We may hops she will not disappoint us another season. But that is in the future. I prefer to fpeak of th“ present. The Georgia Killroad may not bring us in debt next year, but It has done so this year, and will so appear In the President’s report. It would be simply ridiculous tn making up the expenses for this year for “Stockholder” to say "elimi nate the SBO,OOO loss on the Geor la Rtii road because she won’t do so any more.” I' may profit the Central milllous some other year, bat not this year, and It is this year we are trying to get at. The reports of Bradutrett and the Agri cultuial Bureau do not give us flittering hopes for another season, but rather the contrary. Now 1 believe the figures of “Philo Junius” are a little wrong In some minor points, but he muet answer for them himself. I want “Stockholder” to tell me If the net earnings for this fl?cal year will exceed $975 000. If so, how much? I ask him If he does’not know they will be les-? This is the most important point. Upon it binges the whole question and the public sees how sedulously he avoids it. Now 1 will tell h m that the fixed charges that must absolutely be paid are as follow!: Rental of the Southwestern $ 352.000 Rental of Augusta and Sav-mnab 73 0 0 Rental ot Eatooton Branch 14.000 Interest ou $5,000,000 first mortgage bonds * 350,000 lb tcrest on $4,610,000 debentu res 278,00 J $1,040,000 Now I ask him if the net earnings of the read th tytar will be sufficient to meet these expense*? Then I would like to know if the Ocean Steamship Company’s earnings, and the income from all other sources, will have warranted the declaration of an 8 per cent, dividend? If he will answer this question fairly and squarely, mv mind will be at rest, but let him bear tn mind that I speak only of thi* year. Very respectfully, Tbctb.

Internal Revenue Redactions—Mr. Stephens’ Views on tbe Subject— memorial Tribute to Congressman Allen. Washington, June 23.—1n the Senate to day Mr. Beck offered a resolution reciting that It Is alleged that the directors of some national bank In Richmond, Va., have been permitted to file In the office of the Comp troller of the Currency a modified oath with substantially the following proviso: “The above Is subscribed to In all respects except so far as it applies to the rate of Interest allowed by law In this Btate.” The resolution directs the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish a certified copy of all oaths which were taken by directors of na tional banks in Richmond, which were on file In the Comptroller’s office during the years 1879 and 1880. Adopted. The Senate took up the rule recently re ported from the Committee on Rules to set tle the right of the President pro tem. to desigea'e bis eubstltute in case of absence. After occupying three-fourths of the time allotted for the morniDg business, the mat ter was referred with the amendments sug gested by Messers. Brown and Gorman to the Committee on Rules for further con sideration. The Hcu*e bill to establish a uhiform system of bankruptcy came up as the regu lar order. Tbe discussion of this bill occupied nearly the remainder of the day’s session. It was finally laid aside until Monday. The Senate then took up and passed the Senate bill to pav for the use by the gov ernment of tbe Protestant Orphan Asylum propenv at Natchez. At 3:45 the House resolutions comtnemcra Uve of the late Representative Allen, of Missouri, were received, and after Impres sive remarks upon tbe life and servtces of the deceased by Messrs. Cockrell, Dawes, Brown and Vest, the usuai mortuary reso lutions were adopted, and the Senate, at 5 o’clock, adjourned. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. In the House, Mr. Townsbend, of Illinois, gave not.ee that If the Committee of Ways and Means did not at an early day report a resolution for a Una! adjournment of Con gress, he would himself make a motion to that effect. Mr Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, stated that the matter would be brought, to the attention of the House after the next com mittee meeting. Mr. Kissou, of lowa, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported back a bill amending section 2983 of the Revised Stat utes, providing that the dues paid on sugar shall be asssessed on t,he quintity delivered from Instead of the quantity entered into a a bonded warehouse. Referred to the com mittee of the whole. The Hou j e then, at 11:25, went Into com mittee of the whole and resumed consider ation of the bill to reduce io'ernal revenue taxation, it being agreed tba' general de bate thereon should close at 3 o’clock, at which hour eul >gfes on the life and charac ter of the late Thomas Allen, of Missouri, would be delivered. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said that the bill was right ss far as it wen’, but that it did not go nearly as far as Jie would have wished. He thought thattbe entire internal revenue system ought to be abolished. In ternal taxes, except in time of war, were anil-republican and undemocratic. They were in opposition to the general policy of this government. They were of British origin, and had always been viewed with the bitterest odium. The beet way in which to raise revenue was by import duties. They bore lees heavily on tax payers, and that wa6 what legislators ought to look to. A gen eral debate followed, which occupied the time until 3 o’clock, when the committee rose. After eulogistic addresses by Messrs. Riblnsoa, of Mississippi. Hewitt, of New York, and Hatch ami Frost, of Miss url, the House, out of respect to the memory of tbe deceased (Mr. Allen), at 4:10, ad journed. FOUR ON THE GALLOWS, Three Negro Hen and a W. msn Hanged m South Carolina. Kingstree, 8. C., June 23.— Andersen Singleton, Lucinda Teasdale, Abraham An derson and Boston Singletary, all colored, were hanged to-day.

Siogletaiy and Anderson were con victed of robbery and arson on the 27:h of March last. The execution was conducted within the jail enclosure, but a crowd of about 2,000 persons were in the town. There was no disorder, and everything DasseJ off quietly. All the pris oners protested their innocence ex cept the woman, who said she killed her sister In self defense. Singletary, In his last speech, said the rope had been put around his neck by witchcraft, and named a vou doo doctor, who, he said, had bewliched him. The execution occurred at twelve m. All the prisoners died- easily except Single ton, who struggled violently and had to be l ushed away from the scaffold. FLASHES FROM ATLANTA.

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1882. ANOTHER TORNADO. lowa Again Visited—Great Destruc tion Reported. Des Moines, Jute 23.—Another terrible rain and wind storm passed over lowa yes terday afternoon. The recently desolated town cf Malcolm, in Poweshiek county, was visited for three hours by a pitiless storm. The damage to goods rescued from Satur day’s hurricane is enormous, and will pro bly amount to total destruction. At Pleasantville, Marlon county, the resi dence of P. Lyon was badlj twisted, and the props placed against it on the east side were driven through the wall. Numerous chimneys and shade and fruit trees in that vicinity were blown down, and signs and awnings whisked away. It is thought the damage east and north of these points Is even more serious. Dubuque, June 23 —A heavy rain and wind storm passed during yesterday after noon from along the lines of the Illinois Ceutral Railroad west of here and great damage was done. At Independence the telegraph wires are all prostrated and it Is impossible to communicate with that place. From reports of railroad passengers from that district It appears that it struck Independence at a Hale before five o’clock and wrought great destruction, fences were torn up, barns wrecked, houses leveled and trees uprooted. Nearly all the business houses were un roofed and plate glass smashed. Tbe depot of the Burlington, Cedar Ripids and North ern R diroad Company is said to be a wreck. A bridge across the river is said to hi ve been Injured. S.lls’ circus exhibited at Independence, and the circus tent was badly damaged, and one wagon containing animals was lifted bodily from the ground and carried some distance. A large number of people were Id the town, and many of their horses were killed by flying debris, and their wagons broken. Two men were killed. At Water loo the force of the wind was terrific, but it is not known that sell :us damage was done. The tents of the military encamp ment were ruined. The storm struck Du buque at 6 o’clock, but no special injury was inflicted. ERIE ON A DOOM. Singular Phenomenon at Cleveland —The Water* ol the Lake Invade the City. Cleveland, Ohio, June 23 —A remarka ble tidal wave swept over the lake front at 0 o’clock this morning. The wave was about two mlle6 wide and eleven feet higher than the surface of the lake. It came in the wake of a dense, angry looking, black and gray cloud, which moved northward over the city. There was no rain nor wind at the lake shore, but rain fell In some parts of the city, and the wind blew fiercely south of the town. Vessels parted their lines at themou’hof the river, and the piers and docks were submerged to a depth of four feet. In some places hundreds of fiih were cast ashore. The fires in the Lake Erie RolllDg Mill on the river beach were put out. A scow loaded with sand, ly ng at the break water, was landed high and dry on the shore. A section of the railway near the Union Depot was ripped up, and numerous switch shanties and small buildings were overturned or moved about. Some iron rails, twenty eight feet long, piled near the depot, were lifted up and scattered In every direction. Huge logs were washed ashore at the life saving station. A stenmer was badly wrecked and various other damage was done. The wave lasted only about one minute. Several parties who were fishing in skiffs, report that there was a sudden rise iu the water aDd a violent commotion like a whirlpool. The skiffs weathered the singular storm without acci dent. The damage to property on shore Is roughly estimated at $30,000. Steamboat men, who came in this morniDg, report a short, (quail and a sudden movement of the wa’er off this port, of which no particular notice was taken at the time. So far one life lost and a tramp drowned. A BIG HAUL. A St. Lonls Rank Teller Comes to Grief. Bt. Louis, June 23 Receiving Teller Owen, of the Third Natioaal Bank of St. Louis, was arrested last night on the charge of having embezzled $150,000 of the bank’s funds. His operations have extended over several years. A warrant was sworn out bv the Presi dent of the hank, Thomas E. Tutt, this mornlrg, against. Owen Ir. charz s him with embezzlement of $150,000. Piesldent Tutt. also filed an attachment suit In the civil courts against property owned by Owen to 'he amount of $70,000. Owen’s bond is for $30,000, and the sureties are re sponsible parties, so that the loss to the bank will, after all, not be great.

Y," TALLAHASSEE TOPICS. The Supreme Court— Florida Cigars —Middle Florida Fall Fair—The Negroes’ Holiday—The Late Col. Brevard. TALLAHissEK, June 21. Editor Morning News: The “heated term” is now upon us, the trucking season about over,and now that there to a business lull, the dullness corresponds with the heat—it to not very pleasant. Plant ers being busy at this season superintending the last plowing, visit our city only when com pelled by urgent necessity. Only on Satur days, when cur colored agriculturists toill take a holiday, do our streets present an animated appearance. Our Supreme Court is still in session, and on account of the unusually heavy docket for this season, is likely to be for some time. So far, forty-eight cases have been docketed, of which ten have been disposed of. There are more cases from Jacksonville and Pensacola, in tbe fourth and first circuits respectively, than from any other points in the State. From this section there are but very few. Asa general rule the larger the business transacted in any community, the greater the litigation, and hence the cities of Jacksonville and Pensacola are more largely represented by the legal flaternity in the Supreme Court than any other section. Of the twenty-seven attorneys from a distance, who have been in attendance, twelve were from the two cities above named. Owing to the excessive heat, the court opens usually at 9 a. m., and as the bu-iness before it is dis patched promptly, it is expected that notwith standing the unusual heavy docket, the present tenn will not be as long as was first apore hended. It sometimes happens that the disciple of Blackstone, after coming a long distance to the capital with his carefully prepared brief and the expectation that his case will occupy the attention of the court tor at least a half of a day, finds to his chagrin that it is “dismissed on motion” for some irregularity, and so it may happen at this term. On account of tbe United States Circuit and District Courts being now in session at Jacksonville, all of the Jack sonville bar who were in attendance last week have left, and the court is now engaged in hear ing the argument on cases from Pensacola. In a former communication I alluded to the cigar factory of Mr. Witts, of this place. This gentleman manufactures exclusively cigars m ade from Florida tobacco, and has succeeded where others failed. The great objection here tofore to the Florida cigar has been a peculiar bitter taste, aud hence the difficulty of finding a market. Mr. Wilts informs me that he has overcome that difficulty. The Florida leaf, he pays, must be handled very differently from other tobacco, and his success is owing to the secret of resweating and rebandiing, a patent for which he has applied for. His is the only factory, I believe, in the State where cigars are made exclusively from Florida to bacco. Key West, Jacksonville and other points boast of their cigar factories, but the tobacco used ia nearly all imported. Hence to this enterprising gentle mau alone is due the palm of being the suc cessful pioneer of a future great industry. He informs me that a few days since he visited Gadsden county for the purpose of ascertain ing the prospects of the coming crop of tobac co. and found that there would not be half enough raised to meet his demands. The Cuban seed is used, and direc tions given to those engaged in the culture. Mr. Witls already has more orders than he can fill, and though he could import the Havana and increase his force he has wisely deter mined to confine himself to the manufacture from the Cuban Florida leaf. Another year there will be a still larger crop made, and to hacco culture will soou be more largely en gaged in. Though this is the dull season, the directors of the Middle Florida Agricultural and Me chanical Association have not been idle. Al ready preparations are being made for their fall fair. With a praiseworthy spirit of pluck, they have determined to inaugurate the completion of the Pensacola and Atlantic Rail road, tha opening of the fine, new hotel here, and the incipiency of various public enter prises, by a fall fair that will surpass in the variety of its exhibits and other attractions, any similar exhibition of the kind ever held in this section. And a magnificent success it will be if energy and well directed effort can avail. It is the design of the directors to appoint an agent at once to thoroughly canvass this coun ty, to visit the planters at th -ir homes, appeal to their pride and interests as agriculturists, and explain fully the advantages of a full exhibit next fall. It will not be purely an agricultural display, but as varied and interesting as can be made. Not only will there be the usual agri cultural exhibit, but the fine arts will also have a place assigned them. I was recently shown by Rev. W. L Hugon, of this place, a magnifi cent oil painting copied from one of Rafael’s best. It was brought over by Mr. Hugon from France last fall, and it is his intention, after having it handsomely framed, to place it on exhibition at the coming fair. As such a chef d’ ouvre is not often seen in this section, its ex hibit will add considerably to the attractions of the occasion. A list of premiums will soon be published, and our entire community look for ward to the Middle Florida Fall Fair with no little interest, for it will doubtless be the larg est and most successful ever held here. With the hot weather and laying by of the cotton crop comes the season of cheap excur sions by our colored community. Tbe Ameri can c tizen o’ African descent, unlike bis Anglo- Saxon neighbor, will have a good time of it as long as the money holds out. He takes no thought of the future, but mindful of the old adage, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,” makes the most of his opportunity in enjoying what he considers the good things of this life. In the course of a week or two flaming posters signed “by the committee” will announce a cheap excursion to Jacksonville, and more than one luckless housekeeper will b 9 deprived of her “help” or cook, for many avail themselves of these occasions because of cheap rates to emigrate elsewhere. The dense population of the colored element in this com munity causes labor to be comparatively cheap to what it is in other sections. Hence the exodus in the summer season. The husbands and fathers go in the early part of the year to work on the different railroads being constructed in ffast and South Florida, and their families follow in the summer. It is estimated that not less than two thousand have thus gone from our midst in the last four or five years And yet, judging from the numbers seen on our streets every Saturday, there is scarcely a perceptible diminution Wages are still low, and “help” for the house and field can be easily obtained. For one, however, I do not regard this ex odus with joy. We need the help of “our brother in black,” and the time is rapidly approach ing when his services will be more in demand than ever. The new industries now being so successfully inaugurated will, in a very few years, require a large increase of aborers, and to those who understand the African, as does the native Southron, the services of the former cannot be easily dispensed with. He cares not for the fierce rajs of the sun during the sum mer solstice, but works patiently and uncom plainingly. If well fed, promptly paid and wisely directed, he gives satisfaction. Of course there are some exceptions, but take him all in all, no other kind of laborer can well supply his place. At last we are to have anew court house. Some three years ago the old one was destroyed by flre; and now thattbe amount necessary to build anew one has been raised by toxatian. tbe County Commissioners, after adopring plans, are to-day to open the proposals of bidders. The new structure will be an honor to our capital city. I have seen the plans, which were drawn by one of the most experienced and able architects in the Bouth, and when completed it will be the finest build ing ever erected in the city. The Clerk’s and County Judge’s offices will have fireproof vaults connected with them, so that should there unfortunately be another flre, no valua ble records will be destroyed. The cost of the building will probably be between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars. Our James Islanders are still busy preparing for their summer exodus. Two families have already left, a steamer has been temporarily chartered, and others will follow in a few days. Etrenuous efforts to have a semi weekly mail by steamer between Bt. Mark’s and Apa lachicola, touching at Bt. Teresa and Cara belle are being made. Should such a contract bs awarded, a steamer will be put on the route at once. Such a line would do a good freight and passenger business, and assist materially in building up all that section of country. Our community was greatly shocked to day by hearing of the sudden death of Colonel T. W. Brevard. He died of apoplexy at bis residence last night. He was a gallant ex Confederate, and served with distinction in the army of North ern Virginia. In 1861 he went to Virginia with the Second Florida Regiment as Captain, and served until the reorganization of the regi ment in 1862. Returning home he was elected Major in anew regiment, the Tenth Florida, I think. This regiment having been ordered to Virginia in 1664 he rose rapidly, for he was a gallant officer and a great favorite with the division commander. He was first promoted to a Lieutenant Colonelcy, then to a Colonel, and was finally recommended as Brigadier General. It is said that his commission as such had actually been issued and would have been received by him but for his capture a few days before the surrender at Appomattox Court House. Afthr tbe war he commenced tbe prac tice of law, for which he had previously quali fied himself, and soon rose to be one of the le&diDg lawyers in this State. There wei e few more talented. His fluent delivery and quick perception of the ieadiog points in a case, gained for him deserved reputation. Asa criminal lawyer, he hd not an equal in the State, for I have never known him to lose a case. On the announcement of his death in the Supreme Court rooms, this morning, the court immediately adjourned, out of respect to his memory. He was universally esteemed, aad deservedly popular with all classes. Leon. The agent of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society In New York says the Jewish refu gees from Russia are a very peculiar people, and the customary manner of dealing with immigrants will not answer at all with them. The Swedes or the Germans can be aeparat ed and placed in families or on farms all over the country, while these Russians want to go together in large bodies, so that they may keep up their religious rites and con tinue to live apart from the rest of the world m much as possible. Not one out of a hun dred understands a word of English, and few have any trade beyond that of shop keeping and peddling. The experiment of settling them as farmers at Vineland, N. J., however, appears to be working well. About 300 are now there engaged in felling trees, clearing the ground, and doing rough farm work. ARABI AROUSED. BESOLVED ON RESISTANCE. Hl* Plan* to Oppoae Intervention— The Power* and tbe Conference. London, June 23.—An Alexandria corre spondent telegraphs that he is Informed on the best authority that If France and Eng land Interfere actively in Egyptian affairs, Arabi Pasha will blow up the Suez canal, cut the railway to Cairo and oppose the landing of European troops In Alexandria. If beaten he will retire to the Desert, where he is promised the support of 30,000 Be douins, partisans of Prince Ballm. The Egyptian Ministry are prepared to sanction the above on patriotic grounds. In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr. Gladstone, in replying to Sir Stafford Northcote, stated that all the representatives of the powers at Constantinople, except Austria, have received Instructions for their guidance at the conference. He said he had no reason to think that Austria objected to joining the conference. In reply to another question Mr. Glad stone satd that the whole subject of the control of the government and administra tion of the Suez canal was outside the scope of the conference. In the House of Lords this afternoon Lord Granville announced that Austria has now consented to join the conference. The official correspondence on the Egyp tian question shows that Prince Bismarck informed Count Von Munster, the German Ambassador here, that he was opposed to joining English and French Intervention in Egypt because he believed it would lead to disagreement and In a quarrel between France and England, which, whatever might be said of his supposed policy, he would be glad to see avoided. Lord Granville, Minister of Foreign Af fairs, In April, suggested that England, France and Turkey each send a General to Egypt to restore discipline In the army. France objected to this plan as dilatory, and as,possibly,leading to the sending of Turkish troops on the Sultan’s own authority. On the 21 of May the French Government sug gested the sending of fleets, and agreed if they failed to secure the desired object that calling in of Turkish troop3 by France and Eugiand would be the least objectionable form of armed intervention. The Standard's correspondent at Alexan dria telegraphs that Ragheb Pasha, Presi dent of the Council, has written to the Italian Consul, as well as a dozen of the di plomatic corps, inviting him and his col leagues to appoint delegates on the commis sion of Inquiry Into the late riots. Sir El ward Malet and M. Sienklewlez, Eoellsh and French Consuls General respectively, are opposed to any court of Inquiry into the recent riots at present. London, June 24.—Tbe Standard's dis patch from Constantinople states that the conference held a long sitting on Friday. The Standard's correspondent at Alexan dria sayc “Arabi Pasha Informs me that he will resist to the death every pretence on the par: of the enemies of Egypt to Interfere with her affairs. He says he cannot regard any settlement as satls.’se'ory until the fleets have been withdrawn. The report that he aimed at ruling Egypt with out the Khedive he declared to be a base calumny.” Portsmouth, June 23 —A tank vessel ca pable of distilling one hundred tona of water hourly has hastily sailed for the East. It is supposed that she is sent as a precau tion against the possibility of supplies for Suez canal stations being Interrupted. Alexandria, June 23—It Is understood that Arabi Pasha, in reply to the Sultan’s Invitation to go to Constantinople, states that, though he is willing to go there, the army will prevent him. BRITAIN’S REALM. Released Suspect* Canght Drilling— Tbe Allea Clause of tbe Repres sion Bill Adopted. London, June 23—A company, com prising Irish noblemen and large land owners has been formed as a purely com mercial speculation for the purpose of de feating the Influence of the Land League and supplementing the work of the Property Defence Association and the Emergency Committee. Capitalists are Invited to take shares in the company’s stock, which will take possession of evicted lands and work them to the greatest public advantage. The police discovered fifty men drilling In Klimore, county Roscommon. They succeeded In capturing three of them. The prisoners were recognized as released sus pects. The House of Commons spent the whole afternotin discussing the various amend ments of clause twelve of the re pression bill, moved by Irish mem bers, providing that an alien shall be furnished with a copy of the sworn informa tion in consequence of which he is to be expelled, giving him a month’s notice to quit the kingdom, and provldingfor redress by action against the Secretary of Btate for unjust expulsion. The amendments were opposed by the government, and were with drawn without a division being taken. John Bright said it was obvious that the condition of Ireland was made much worse by subscriptions raised in America and by those persons who come from America to participate In conspiracies. He did not. hesi tate to say that those subjects of the Queen who had taken part in the Chicago Conven tion were traitors to the CrowD, The object of the clause under discussion was, he said, to prevent conspirators of the very worst dye from exciting the people to disorder. Mr. Seaton warned the government that the feeling generated among the Irish in America by seeing their countrymen driven as aliens from their careers of industry must cause trouble to Great Britain at no dis ant day. The clause was carried by a vote of 132 to 30. _ BRIEF NEWS SUM HARY. It is announced that the extra 10 per cent, added to the Russian tariff of 1880 will be abolished after July.

Reed, a farmer living about two miles west of this village, has recently had several workmen engaged in draining a swampy meadow. One of the laborers threw out what was at firet thought to be a large white gravel atone, but which, on being wiped off by one of the men, was seen to be an immense tooth which had evidently belonged to some large animal. The tooth was about four inches long and two inches across the top, and weighing nearly four pounds. The men were about to resume digging, when Mr. Reed ordered them to deslat. He ac quainted Dr. Samuel Lockwood, the natu ralist. who lives here, with his “find,” and showed him the tooth. Dr. Lockwood im mediately declared it to be a molar from the mastodon. Mr. Lockwood accompanied Mr. Reed to the place where the remains were found. This was eyidently the site of an ancient beaver dam. The laborer had cut through the remains of the creature at a point which took away the base of the tusks and a portion of the face of the animal. Under the direction of Mr. Lockwood the digging was resumed. The ends of both t asks were exposed. The left one was un covered and carefully lifted out to the surface of the ground. It was four feet four inches in length; measuring tie width of the ditch, which was eighteen inches, and allowing two feet for insertion in the skull, the entire length of the tusk would be seven feet ten inches. No sooner was the tusk exposed to the at mosphere than disintegration began, the tusk falling to pieces in transverse sections, each section being about one-fourth of an inch in diameter. In the course of halt an hour the disintegration bad proceeded so rapidly that only a crumbly mass was left of the tusk. When first exhumed the tusk bad the feeling of a fresh cheese newly cut. On account of the greater depth of the second tusk portions of it remained uncovered while the laborers were at work at the re mainder, and by the time the hole was un covered the first part had so far decomposed as to render it impossible to lift it out. “On the second day after the discovery the work of exhuming the body was begun. Operations commenced at the head, which was lying within two feet of the surface. When the laborers had cut down to the head it was found to be so soft that the bones were easily cut through with a spade. It was nearly the color of the black vegetable mould of the meadow, and was, therefore, almost indistinguishable. But a careful in spection showed that the front part of the head was greatlv similar to that of the ele phant of the present day, except that the forehead was abnormally high. By a close investigation of the skull numerous air cells, some of them an inch in diameter, were found. The bone of the skull was of an immense thickness, but completely honeycombed with these air cells. These cells had become filled with the fibrous roots of plants, which extended through the entire skull. After digging through the skull and coming to the lower part of the head three or four more teeth similar in shape, size and weight to that already described were foutd. The teeth, unlike the tusks and bones, were in a remarkably good state of preser vation. The exploration was continued until the entire body was laid bare. Beneath the bones was found a bed of sand, upon which the animal had evi dently laid down to die. The bones of the body, though greatly decomposed, were plainly distinguishable, and the position of the animal was ascertained. It was lying with its head to the northeast, and its legs stretched at right angles to its body and its head inclined toward its chest. About a year ago the remains of a megatherium were found in the marl pits of Marlboro, where those of smaller sea creatures of that period are numerous. The discovery of the re mains of the mastodon is important to geo logical history, as it has been the general belief among geologists that at the time the mastodon lived the coast of New Jersey was submerged, and that it has risen from the waters since that time.” Flipper’s Dismissal. The Army and Navy Herald , of Washing ton, announces that the proceedings and findings of the court martial In the'case of Becond Lieutenant Flipper, recently dis missed from the army, will be promulgated In a few days. He was tried upon two charges—embezzlement and conduct unbe coming an officer and a gentleman. On Saturday last the Secretary of War informed a representative of the Herald why the case had been so prolonged. He said: ‘‘The reason this case has been so long reaching a final settlement is that it was tlfbught best not to proceed hastily in the matter. Each charge and specification has been carefully examined, and all the sur rounding circumstances thoroughly Investi gated. Indeed, Lieut. Flipper’s case has received greater consideration than if he had been a white man. The reason for this was that he was the only one of his race that had ever passed successfully through the Military Academy. Until the time he became involved In his present difficulty he was respected by all who came in contact with him. He was allowed every oppor tunity to prove that he could be trusted In the future, but failed to do so; hence there was nothing left to do but dismiss him. I will state, however, that the charge of em bezzlement was not sustained, but the court were unanimous that he was guilty of con duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle man. There was no recommendation for clemency or any appeal in his behalf. All talk of political Influence being brought to bear Is mere chaff. I have never spoken on the subject to any one except the President and his Cabinet and the officers of this de partment who keep the records.” Most of the lager beer saloons and music gardens in New York are now more or less controlled, as In London, by big brewers. When Calvert & Cos , an immense London firm, failed for $7,500,000 in 1858, thev re turned in their schedule 359 public houses of which they had the freeholds or leld leases, with stringent stipulations that they took no ot her beer but theirs. Hence the ‘‘Calvert & Cos. Entire,” “Barclay Perkins &. Cos, Entire,” etc., inscribed over London public houses. The Calverts were soon flourishing again.
