New York, April 14.—The Su

was sought by Hurbert O. Thomp

HOUNE.
Washington, April 10.—Under a
call of committees this morning, Ste
phens, of Georgia, chairman of the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, reported a bill for tlie in
terchange of subsidiary coin for legal
tender money in sums of $10, aud
multiples thereof, and making such
coin legal tender in all sums not ex
ceeding $20.
The report of the committee on
States that the bill is based upon pe
titions, was referred to tlie commit
tee.
Conger, of Michigan, raised a point
of order that no bill on tlie subject
liad been referred to tlie committee,
and that therefore the committee iiad
no right to make a report.
Tlie House, in committee of the
whole, resumed tlie consideration of
tlie legislative appropriation bill.
After discussion the amendment to
repeal, after March, 1880, the acts
creating tlie Southern Claims Com
mission to transfer to tlie Court of
Claims all cases then pending before
the Commission, was rejected. The
committee disposed of all the bill ex
cept tlie portions specially reserved
for general discussion, being the p:
visions In respect to the mode of
lecting grand and petit jurors, repeal
ing the jurors' test oath, and also in
respect to supervisors of elections and
deputy marshals. The debate was
commenced by Lewis, of Alabama,
who made a legal argument against
the election laws, and denied that tlie
"South was solid" for any illegal or
unconstitutional purpose, or out of
antagonism to tlie North.
Samford, of Alabama, also argued
upon the necessity and justico of re
pealing tlie jurors' test oath, and
modifying tlie supervisors of elec
tions.’
SENATE.
The Senate resumed tlie considera
tion of tlie army bill, and Mr. Beck
continued his remarks.
Beck said tile Democrats were de
termined, on their first access to
power, to repeal the laws passed in
time of war, unsuitable to time of
peace, and forming dangerous pre
cedents which would become funda
mental principles of our system of
government if left alone. Hequoted
freely from historical authorities to
show tlie pernicious results of mili
tary interference with civil functions,
and to refute the assertion of Hoar
that money hud not been withheld
by the commons to force tlie king's
consent to legislation.
Beck continued his remarks upon
the Army bill. He said ratberthan
have the army used as it hud been,
and os it might be again, lie would
favor its abolition, and establish a
militia.
Halves followed in opposition to
tlie pending measure. During ills
speech he yielded to Mr Butler, of
Mouth Carolina, who stated that his
colleague, Wilde Hampton, was pres
ent and ready to take liis seat. Mr.
Hampton, on crutches, was lead for
ward by Mr Butler, and sworn in by
tlie President pro ft hi, Mr Thurman,
taking tlie modified oath.

Column.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Cape Town, April 1, via St. Vin
cent, April 15.—'The Colonial Secre
tary of Natal lias telegraphed to the
Colonial Secretary of Cape Colony
that Cettewayo has sent messengers
to Lord Chelmsford with overtures
for peace. It is thought, however,
that this is merely a ruse to obtain
information of the movements of tlie
British troops. '1 lie Ekowa relief
column started on tlie 28th of March.
It is composed of six thousand men,
two Gatlin guns, two cannon, several
rocket tubes, 110 Wagons and 56 pack
mules. Colonel Law commands tlie
advance guard, consisting of naval
brigades from the Bilips Shah and
Tenedos, two companies of Butt's,
five of the 09th regiment, and tlie
whole of tlie 01st regiment.
The wagons are escorted
by two companies of mounted
natives, and a battalion of natives a
foot. Major Pemberton commands
the rear guard composed of 200 men
from the Boadicea, (Iie57lli regiment,
a battallion of the Otli regiment ami
the mounted natives. Lord Chelms
ford and stall - are with tlie rear
guards. All was well with tlie col
umn up to the 30th of March. Col.
Pearson that day signalled from
Ekowa that lie coiild see tlie head of
the column entrenching on Ainatu-
dala river. On March 27tb lie sig
nalled that 150 of liis garrison were
ill, and 50 wounded and that only 500
of liis men would be able to assist
tlie relieving column, for which 35,000
Zulus were lying in wait. Adju
tant Davidson, of tlie 80th
regiment, is dead. Col. Wood
attacked Umbelinis stronghold
on the 28tli of March and captured a
quantity of cattle. Subsequently
2,000 Zulus retook the cattle, and on
tlie 2!H!i attacked Col. Wood’s camp.
They wore repulsed after four hours
fighting, but the Britisli loss was
heavy. Seven officers and seventy
men were killed including Captain
Campbell and Piet IJys, leader of the
detachment of mounted bores, who
lias several times been me.ntioned in
the dispatches fife distinguished ser
vices.
There was fighting in Basuta on
tlie 21st ami 23d of March, and the
son and two gaandsons of Moriosi
and eighty Basutos were killed, and
a number of cattle and horses cap
tured. The British loss is insignifi
cant.
Tlie Boers at tlioir meeting almost
unanimously decided to never rest
satisfied with less than their inde
pendence. It is thought they will
adopt a course of passive resistance.

Home Remark able cnlrnlndoii* by an
Eusllali MelcntUt—The Origin and
Recurrence of Epidemics Controlled
by Planetary and Magnetic Condi
tions—An Outbreak Probable In 1NS3.
II. G. Jenkins, F. R. A. S. in the Fall Mall
Gazette.]
It is to tlie Intense prejudice edu
cated people have against astrology-
confounding the astrology of the
ancients and the scientific men of
middle ages with tlie nonsense of the
gipsies—that we are indebted for our
ignorance of tlie origin of epidemics.
As Hecker remarks : “Of the astral
influence which was considered to
have originated tlie ‘great mortality’
physicians and learned men were as
completely convinced 11s of tlie fact
of its reality.” The fatal error they
made, however, was in supposing
that the influence was due to the eon-
juration of the planets, Instead of to
tlie position of tlie planets in their
orbits. Omitting tlie nonsense of
fortune telling, the reason why peo
ple of the present day do not believe
in planetary influence are two fold:
First, it is hold to betoken ignorance
and superstition—points on which
educated people arc very sen <ilive;
and, secondly, they cannot imagine
how such objects can affect their
great globe, unconsciously forgetling
that our earth among tlie planets is
as a marble among cannon Lulls.
From a lengthy study of great terres
trial phenomena and tlie movements
of the large planets, I can come to no
other conclusion than that they am
intimately connected; and I shall, in
as few words as possible, lay before
your readers my reason for such a
conclusion.
About eight years ago i spoil! many
months accumulating information oil
cholera throughout the world, from
1810 to 1871. 1 tabulated my results,
threw them into tlie form of a curve,
and was surprised to find that there
liad occurred a great outbreak about
every seventeen years, and that these
outbreaks took place alternately at
maxima and minima of sun-spots.
Certainly the sun-spots could not
have produced the cholera, for (here
was a great outbreak when the spots
were very plentiful, and the next
when they were very few. But Hint
there was a connection l felt con
vinced, and also that they were both
ill the nature of effects. I suggested,
in a paper on the subject, which I
read before tlie Royal Historical So
ciety, that the cause would probably
be found in tlio influence of the
planets, and in their approach to tlie
sun. There were minor outbreaks
which I could not explain; hut I
felt sufficient confidence i n my results
to state (sec Nature, May, 1s72i that,
as there bad been great outbreaks in
1816-17, 1832 4, 1848-50, 1805 7, wo
might confidently expect tlie next iu
1HS3-4. I left the subject for seven
years. Meanwhile 1 worked at the
subject of sun-spots, and was reward
ed by finding that tlie average period
for these phenomena, for magnetic
storms and for aurora period was 11.0
years, tlie period of Jupiter’s anoma
listic year, and that these phenomena
were always least when Jupiter wa
nearest the sun. I then turned t
terrestrial magnetism and found that
tlie needle of the compass, which at
London was moving cast up to J.vsn,
and west till 1810, aud east ever since
follows the movements of a strong
magnetic pole which Sir James Boss
found in 1830 in Boothia, but which
lias now, i hold, traveled west to
Prince Albert Land, and has moved
at such a rate that it will complete its
revolution round the pole of t(ie earth
in about 500 years. On examining
tlie accumulated evidence in regard
to the dip of tlie needle, I found that
the magnetic pole must bo in the at
mosphere over the place whore it ap
pears to be in tlie earth.
Tn tlie midst of this work a little
incident occurred which induced
me to write to the Register Gen
eral for the number of deaths in
England for tlie last forty years,
which lie kindly sent me. I imme
diately found that what 1 suspected
was true—that the number of deaths
in England was greatest, on an aver
age over tlie whole period, every six
years. I threw tlie numbers into (In
form of a curve and under it placed
the curve represented by Juniter’s
orbit during the same period, and
found that whenever Jupiter was at
two points equally distant from liis
nearest point to the sun (correspond
ing to our September und March) the
deaths in England were greatest. (A
short paper on thesubject will appear
in the next number of the proceed
ings of tlie Statistical Society.) If
tiffs is true for England it should lie
true for the'deatli rate of the world.
On axaminiug the curve for cholera
over the world from 181(1 to 1871,
which I drew out seven years
ago, I found that this held good,
I am at present engaged in
cxainiining the death rate of tlie
world for the last forty years as far as
possible. The outbreak of the plunge
directed my attention to that subject.
I examined a magnetic, churl of tlie
world and found that tlie lines of no
declination (i.c. tlio lines which indi
cate where the needle points to true
North, and therefore the lines in
which tlio greatest magnetic power
is manifested) are advancing west,
at the average rate of about one-sev
enth of a degree annually over the
regions which arc the present epidem
ic-stricken quarters of tlie globe —
Russia, Persia, United States, Brazil
and Western China. As tlie mag
netic poles advance these lines ad
vance, and the cpidtuics on men and
beast accompany them. On eulcttlu-
ing back I find that the line which is
now passing across Russia must have
passed over that region 500 years ago.
This will take us back tn the middle
of the Fourteenth Century; aud with
simulur magnetic conditions we have
the same epidemic- the Black Death.
Wo know that plague devasta
ted Europe more or less Ou
tlie next two centuries, culminating
in the great plague of I.melon in
1665,and curiously enough just at the
time when a line of no declination
was advancing over Ihigltind. It
occurred to me that Neptune might
be the cause of the movement of the
magnetic pole. On examining the
movements of the planet initsorliit,
1 found that those of the needle
varied in accordance with those of
that planet while it makes three rev
olutions. The magnetic poles make
an eccentric circle round tlio polo of
tlie earth; Ibis eccentricity I found
wits dui- to some influence at u maxi
mum of about eighty years. On ex
amining the movements and pnsi-
tioli of Uranus, I found that they
were such as to account for tlie
anomaly. I have fully detailed tlio
subject in a paper I sent to the
Royal Astronomical Society; they
have announced it; whether they will
have tlio courage to lmve it read is
another matter.
T have, sir, occupied so much of
your space that I will not go into
other curious points, especially some
relating to tlie atmospheric change
which produces plague, and a possi
ble remedy. In conclusion, I would
say that within tlio next seven years
there will happen tlmt which lias not
happened for hundreds of years; all
tlie planets at or near tlielr nearest
point to tlio sun about tlio smile time.
It is true of the earth that its mag
netic intensity is greatest about tlie
time when it is near the sun; the
same is probably true of ail tlie plan
ets; therefore we may expect extraor
dinary magnetic phenomena during
tlio next seven years, and great
plagues, which will manifest them
selves in all tlielr intensity when Ju
piter is about three years from liis
perihelion—that is, in 1883.

•‘Our Landlord, ”
Detroit Free Press.]
While it is to bo supposed that tlie
man with a bouse to rent is anxious
to secure all tin* rent be can get,
there are some offsets which never
leak out and people have come to
regard the majority of landlords as
shylocks. Ml’ Blank, of the north
ern pari of tin* city, bad a Iiouhc to
rent. That is after be hud laid out
$-100 in repairs he called it a house,
but the very lirst woman who came
for the key banded it back with the
remark:
“I am not obliged to live either in
a stable or a pig pen.”
Thu second woman started to look
through the house, but sin* got no
further than the ball. She said she
bad never lived in u house
with a • ball less than
seven feet wide and she was not
going to begin this late. The third
customer was a man, and be wanted
1 wo partitions knocked out and three
doors to swing the other way. The
fourth was a boy sent by liis mother
to see if a certain bed-room carpet in
the house they then occupied would
/ita certain bed-room hi tliisliouse. It
wouldn’t, as the owner refused to
squeeze the walls together tlie boy
broke otTall l’utlier diplomatic nego
tiations.
The next inquirer was a woman
whose son was about to be married
and as she was to live with tlie new
family sin* wanted to be sure about tlie
convenience of tlie house. She didn’t
want much done to tin’s house. Ail
she wanted was the rent cut down
one-half, the roof raised another story,
tlie yard increased to a hundred feet
front, and a few trifles in the way of
bay-windows, frescoing, etc.
The last call was yesterday. The
owner went over iu company with a
young man who earns $7 week,and is
to be married soon. The bouse just
suited him* He wouldn’t have a
thing changed. He bad been look
ing for just such a house for two
years, and lie wondered why all
houses were not built just like it.
When the owner mentioned rent in
advance tlie young man grow sad
and replied;
“Sir, if my word is not good for a
month’s rent, we must part—fare
well!”
