The report of the existence of yellow

The Nashville /tannersays "the Macon

Ihe Chicago Jlerald is enterprising,

A creat deal of interest is felt in the
forthcoming decision of the highest court
of Ohio respecting the liability of the
church property for the debts of Arch
bishop Purcell. The amount deposited
with the Archbishop, and for which he
was responsible, was about $4,000,000.
He used the money in building church
and school-houses. When the depositors
demanded their money he did not have it.
The question pending before the Ohio
court is whether the church property pur
chased with this money can be sold to pay
the depositors. The decision will proba
bly turn on the point whether the Arch
bishop, in receiving the deposits, acted in
his individual capacity or for the church.
Archbishop Elder, who succeeded Bishop
Purcell, has been trying, by means of do
nations. to raise money enough to meet
the demands of the depositors, but has
not met with much success.
The Baltimore papers say that a young
and beautiful society widow of that city
lately attempted to blackmail a leading
lawyer of the city to the extent of SSOO.
She called on him to employ him to settle j
the affairs of her dear dead husband.
About the third call she told him that if
he did not give her SSOO she would make a
great scandal. He was a widower, hav
ing but a few months before lost his wife.
He didn’t want any scandal and he didn’t
want to give up so large a sum ot money.
He apparently acceded to her request,
and asked her to eall the following day
for the money. She came the next day,
and the lawyer, who had concealed a de
tective in his office, adroitly led her to
admit that she was blackmailing him.
Os course her game was beaten, and she
was turned out of the office without the
cash. The lawyer ought to have been
punished for not exposing the black
jnailer by having her arrested.
The State Lunatic Asylum.
The joint committee of the Legislature,
appointed to examine the condition of the
State Lunatic Asylum, have made their
report. The committee appear to be very
well satisfied with the management of the
institution, and take occasion to mention
in complimentary terms several of the
officers. A brief description of the build
ings of the Asylum may not be unin
teresting. A main building. 180 feet long
and 84 feet wide, is occupied by the
Superintendent and other officers of the
institution as a residence. On each side
of this main building is a wing 186
feet long and 42 feet wide.
■ n the rear of these wings are six other
wings. Two of them are 138 feet long and
42 feet wide, and four are 132 feet long and
32 feet wide. All of these wings are con
nected with each other and with the main
building by porticos, and are all occupied
by patients. The buildings, with one ex
ception, are three stories high, and that
one is four stories. There are in that part
of the institution set apart for males 386
patients, and in the part assigned to fe
males 395. As the plan of the asylum
only provides for the accommo
dation of 510 patients, it will be
seen that it is now over-crowded
to the extent of 271 patients. This
overcrowding is. of course, to be deplored.
There must necessarily be alack of that
comfort and attention so imperative to
successful moral and curative treatment.
Demands are constantly being made,
however, for the admission of patients,
and some of them cannot very well be re
fused. The only thing to be done is to in
crease the capacity of the asylum as soon
as possible. This institution is called
the State’s greatest charity, and in order
that it shall be that in fact, as well as in
name, provision must be made
for the comfortable accommodation ol
all the inmates without unnecessary de
lay. It is proposed to erect two conva
lescent buildings—one for males and the
other for females. The one for females is
, being built, and a conditional contract
has been made for building the other. In
1881 the sum of $67,867 was appropriated
for their construction. It is estimated
that $33,847 more will be required. When
finished they will each accommodate one
hundred patients. The almost completed
hospital building is half a mile away
from the main buildings. It is of brick,
150 feet front and 31 feet deep, having a
c *ntre building 16 feet square. J here are
two dining-rooms in the rear, each 24
by 14 feet. The amount appropriated
for this building was $9,364. An addi
tional appropriation oi about $2,000 will
be required. An amusement hall and gas
works are among the improvements con
templated.
The buildings occupied by colored pa
fients are two in number, one for males
and the other for females. They* each
have a recess front of 114 feet, 32 feet wide
and two wings, each 84 feet long and 32
feet wide. There are various annexes to
these buildings, which increase their
capacity. There is a new building for
colored patients in course of construction.
It will he of brick, three stories high with
a front of 375 feet, and two wings each 271
feet in length.
The width of the main building and of
the wings, will be 31 feet. To complete
this building it isestimated thats27,B73 33
will be needed. The number of colored
patients is 264—144 males and 120 females.
The committee say that to carry out all
of the contemplated improvements $92,-
875 53 will have to be appropriated. That
the improvements are needed badly ts
apparent from the facts already pre
sented. On the Ist of last October
the number of inmates, white
and colored, was 976. On the 21st
of last month the number had increased
to 1,072. At that date there were 316 ap
plications for admission, which could not
be granted. The report of the committee
is exhaustive and satisfactory. It makes
the duty of the Legislature very clear.
Tii<> Mormon Question.
The interesting, if not always reliable
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
who writes from Hatche’s Hotel in
the Y’ellowstone Park, about the
doings of the Presidential party,
gives an account of an
interview which the Hon. Edwards
Pierrepont, of New York, had with the
President respecting the workings of the
Edmunds law in Utah. Mr. Pierrepont
had been in Salt Lake, and what he saw
and learned there made him so indignant
that he sought the President at once
to lay before him the schemes of the wick
ed polygamists for retaining control of
Utah and for extending their power into
other Territories. Mr. Pierrepont is of
the opinion that the Utah Commission,
from which so much was expected, have
thrust a scandal upon the Repub
lican party. When the Commission
made their appearance in Utah it
seems they were captured by the
wily Mormons, and treated so generously
and hospitably that they enfranchised
about 35,000 of them and disfranchised
only about 3,500. Enough were enfran
chised to give them entire control of the
Legislature, and of every State and local
office. This proceeding so disgusted the
Gentiles that they made no effort to elect
their candidates because effort was
useless. The Mormons are now in
just as good position for controlling the
affairs of the territory as they were before
the Commissioner was appointed. They
have not only got a firm hold on Utah, but
they are reaching out after the
control of the State of
Nevada and of Idaho ami other territo
ries. They are increasing through immi
gration at the rate of 3,000 a year, and
they have any amount of money
to further their plans. They have
7,000 votees in Idaho, if the correspondent
quotes Mr. Pierrepont correctly, and have
a good share of the offices there. They
have only to import 5,000 voters into Ne
vada to take all the offices and the entire
Legislature. Even in Wyoming they are
reported to be strong. Mr. Pierre
pont is of the opinion that
Congress must deal with the Mormons
with a strong hand. The Commission
being a failure, must be abolished. There
must not be any Mormon Legislature, but
the territory must be governed by a Sena
torial Commission, composed of men
strong enough to resist al} blandishments
of the Mormon leaders. This is
about what Mr. Pierrepont said to
-no uroui.unt it u stated
that the President was so
impressed that he promised to give the
whole matter thorough consideration and
recommend to Congress ap entire change
of policy with regard to Utah, Jt is very
evident that the Mormon question is
much bigger than Congress thus far has
been willing to admit. Polygamy is a
great and growing evil, and, if it is to
be destroyed, ought to be grappled
with at once. Notwithstanding the
reports to the contrary the Mormon lead
ers are yearly growing bolder and more
defiant. They send their agents all over
this country and to foreign countries to
make converts. Every onee in a while
thev are heard of in this State, in South
Carolina and other Southern States. The
assertion, often fnade, that polygamy is
dying out is not sustained by the facts. The
Mormons show no sign of giving it up.
On the contrary, they are strengthening
themselves in every possible way. so as
to preserve it. It was thought that im
migration would destroy it. It hasn't
had the least effect upon it. Immigrants,
except the kind the want, don’t
seek Utah in large numbers. They don’t
find Mormon neighbors pleasant. Polyga
my will not be suppressed by immigrants.
Some other method must be tried.
The raising of insurance rates is also
exercising the cotton merchants of our
sister city of Charleston. It seems that
rates in that city have been raised only on
cotton and fertilizers, the insurance com
panies giving an excuse for increasing
rates that they have recently lost more
than a million of dollars on cotton alone
in Charleston, a sum it would require
more than twenty years recover
through their business transactions in
that city.
Interest in the Panama cpnal seems to
have suddenly died out. The papers are
so busy with political matters that they
have been paying no attention to it. The
friends of the Eads ship railway say that
the canal will not be dug this century. It
is also probable that the ship railway will
not be built this century.

A Comparison.
Philadelphia Chronicle {Denis'),

Getting in Out of the Rain.
New York Sun {Dem,).

sary to the Democrats.
John Sherman Not a Goose.
Boston Herald {lnd.),
The Democrats must be hard pushed for
ammunition in the Ohio campaign if they

quite a match for the snake in the grass.
Mahone’s Scheme.
Washington Star (Hem.).
According to a prominent Democrat of
Virginia, Mahone has concocted a scheme
to grasp about all the political patronage
of the country. His plan is to put up an
electoral ticket composed of men "true
to Mahone,” and, if he can elect them,
then to sell the electoral vote of Virginia
to the Presidential candidate who binds
himself to give Mahone control of the
Post Office, Treasury and other Depart
ments.
No (Republican Party South.
S r eic York Wo Id (Hem.).
There is no Republican party worth
mentioning in the Southern States. Yet
the Southern delegates, representing 153
electoral votes, can, with only forty-eight
Northern delegates, nominate a President
for the Republicans and compel the whole
party to support him.
This is not only a dictation by the
“solid South,” but a dictation by men
who have no power to give the Republican
candidates a single vote.

The gambling spirit is universal, and
the ingenuity shown in making occasion
for a bet is amusing. The Spanish races
in South America frequently vary the mo- •

each player furnishes himself with a piece
of loat s'tlgar. which he places in front of
him. Leisurely whiffing their cigarettes,
the players keep a watchful eye upon the j
sugar, and the possessor of the piece on
which a fly first alights takes the pool.

A Paris journal tells that a New
Yorker, whom it names, on coining into
the possession of $5,000 from the estate of
a dead uncle, devoted it to playing bacca
rat; that he enjoyed a most wonderful
run of good luck; that he broke bank
after bank in the French capital until the
doors of those that remained insolvent
were closed defensively against him, and
that a year of this prosperous gambling
made him the possessor of half a million.
He returned to New York, and took fine
quarters in a leading hotel. A year
passed, and he did nothing except spend
money lavishly. He went back to Paris
last winter, and made a tresh onslaught
on the gambling hells. This time the con
ditions of luck were reversed. His was
bad, and the gamblers’ was good. He
lost as rapidly and steadily as previously
he had won, and now he is without any

Bob Hart has written a letter to an
actor begging him not to stay on the

of the time that his Income ran very low.
Then he reformed, abandoned minstrelsy,
and is now a Methodist evangelist. With

ance rendered grotesque by a comical
wig and exaggerated shirt collar, he
makes an effective religious speaker. He
has just been cured of asthma by faith.
At least he believes his recovery to have
been miraculously effected through
prayer, and it is certain that the asthma
is all gone. “Bob’s cure has made it im
possible for him to backslide into the
minstrel business, unless the disease
comes on him again,” said a show mana
ger. “Don’t you remember that a pecu
liar huskiness of voice was what made
him funny? That was asthma. Lack of
breath was his fortune, so to speak. Re
covered, he wouldn’t be of any sort of use

her husband. If she had wanted a young
man with black eyes John L. Sullivan
could have furnished her with the article
at once.

“I feel so worried about Charles!”
sighed Mrs. Wildhusband. “It’s getting
late, sure enough,” said sister Kate, look

usual has happened.” “That is what

am afraid something usual has happened
to Charles,”
Ten years ago two loving hearts were
separated by a little quarrel owing to the
miscarriage of an explanatory letter. He
went West and married; she staid East
and married, and now both are once more
free. He has eight children and the jaun
dice, and she seven and the dyspepsia,
and neither has any idea of ever marrying
again. Truth may be stranger than" fic
tion, but it is not so romantic,
Overheard at bed-time up-stairs in
one of the summer-resort hotels. Said she:
“Y T es, I think she intended it. She saw I
was looking very well, and she has two
daughters of her own; horrid things they
are, too. They were there that night.
She can’t get them off, with all her money.
Well, I came in; and my hair took me two
hours, I assure you. Jt lay, just as I want
ed it, along my forehead. She rushed up
to me with a fan as big as a barn door,
and commenced fanning herselt as if she
were worked by steam: ‘My dear child,
how nice you look. But how hot it is!
Where is your dear sister?’ It was a regu
lar hurricane; my hair flew about in all
directions. I caught a glimpse of myself
in a glass; I was a fright. I might have
been getting myself up for Ophelia in the
mad-scene. I could have choked the old
cat. I know she meant it. One of her
charming daughters had claret pnuch
spmea oyer her light siifc. It was ruined,
That was some consolation, anyhow,”

Concerning Earthquakes.
Xew York Sun.
The recent calamity in the island of
Ischia has naturally given new impetus
to the study ot the earthquake phenome
na. Considering that there is hardly a
moment when the earth is not quaking
somewhere, though we are not always
cognizant of it, because it occurs at the
bottom of the sea or in uninhabited
districts, and according to Prof.
Alexis Perrey’s catalogue ot earth
quakes, they average 575 per annum,
it is astonishing that their phe
nomena have not been carefully studied
until within comparatively recent years.
The advances in this study have' been
slow. During an earthquake even the
most scientific mind is hardly in a condi
tion to make minute observations. Scien
tific men generally prefer to investigate
earthquakes after the}’ are over. They
wait until they hear of an earthquake
somewhere, and then pack up their seis
mometers and go to work with enthusiasm
to find the focus and the epicentrum.
In studying earthquake phenomena in
vestigators have arrived at various con
clusions. It has been shown that earth
quakes are more frequent when the moon
is on the horizon than when it is on the
meridian. They are also more frequent
when the moon is nearest the earth than
when it is furthest off. These positions
j correspond to the times of ordinary flood
j tide and of highest flood tide. Some have
j concluded from these facts that the inte
rior of the earth is in a fluid condition
beneath a thin crust, and that this fluid
matter is affected by the tide generating
forces of the sun and moon. But Prof.
Le Conte has said of this theory, “If it
were true the effect ought to be far greater
than we find it,” and he concludes that it
is better to regard the position of the
moon as an incidental phenomenon.
It may be regarde'd, however, as almost
established that the forces which produce
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are
closely allied. Eruptions, especially if
explosive, are often preceded or accompa
nied by earthquakes. Earthquakes also
cease after eruptions from neighboring
volcanoes, and vice versa. For instance,
Stromboli ceased erupting during the fa
mous Calabrian earthquake, and the
earthquake in which Biobamba -was de
stroyed and 40,000 people perished took
place under similar circumstances. An
earthquake map prepared by Prof. Mallet
shows that the distribution of earthquake
centres is much the same as that of volca
noes.
Elevation and depression of great areas
of the earth’s crust are connected with
earthquakes. After the South American
earthquake in 1835 the coasts of Chili and
Patagonia were elevated from two to ten
feet, and old beach marks are found there
from 100 to 1,300 feet above the sea level,
indicating that the whole southern end of
South America has at some time been
elevated to this extent. In the Missis
sippi Valley earthquake there was a
fissure, one side of which dropped lower
than the other, thus forming what is now
called the “sunk country” around the
J mouth of the Ohio.
From the phenomena of volcanic erup-
I tions and of the movements of great areas
I two separate theories have been formed.
I Earthquakes, it is said, originate by the
sudden subterraneous formation or escape
of vapor. This will account for local
earthquakes, but not for the movements
of large areas. Both phenomena seem to
be covered by the following theory; There
is greater contraction in the interior of
: the earth than on the crust, consequently
the crust is forced upon itself by horizon
tal pressure, and where the crust resists
it yields suddenly by the formation of
fissures. The yielding produces a jar in
the interior of the earth; the jar produces
an earthquake; the earth wave reached
the surface at what is called the epicen
truni. and spreads from that point.
This wave tucorv explains many phe
nomena, For instance, in great earth
quakes the velocity with which the shock
travels rarely exceeds twenty miles a
minute; in small earthquakes it runs up
to 140 miles. In great earthquakes the
trough of the wave is deep, and conse
quently it is continually striking inelas
tic strata, whereas in slight earthquakes
the wave trough is shallow and meets few
interferences. The interferences gradu
ally break the force of the wave. Again,
in all earthquake regions there are dis
tricts called bridges which are not affect
ed. In these districts the original wave
strikes an inelastic stratum before emerg
ing and is deflected, other phenomena
are explained by the wave theory.
The great sea waves which sometimes
accompany earthquakes are formed by
the point of emergence of the original
earth wave being on the sea bed, the sud
den upheaval of which lifts the water
above, which in falling spreads like other
waves. This great wave reaches the
shore after the earth waves, which travel
faster, have wrought their destruction.
Thus halt an hour after Lisbon was de
stroyed by an earthquake a great sea
wave sixty feet high came rushing in.
