—The plague of wild beasts and snakes in
India Is extraordinary indeed. Snakes alone
in 1877 killed nearly 17,000 persons, and
tigers, elephants, leopards and other wild

at the same time to destroy the animals, but
without apparent reduction of the numbers,
About 127,000 snakes and 23,000 wild beasts
were lolled, and $50,000 were paidinrewards
for their destruction.
A Tunnel roit Eosiox Sswioe.—The city
of Boston has advertised for proposals to
build a tonne! one and a half miles long, to
Moon Island, in the harbor, through which
tho entire sewage of the city will be dischar

A Case in Point.
Ex-Senator Hendroks delivered a po
litical speech in Eaton, Ohio, last Friday,
and we need not say ';hat it was charac
terized by candor, comprehensiveness and
force. After reviewing the financial sit

tardedthe work of recuperation), bat to
the eoonomy and retrenchment, personal
and politioal, which had been enforoed
since the panic ;of 1873, Mr. Hendricks
protests against that sectional iDjustioe

It was repotted in a special telegram
the Chicig> Times on the 15th of this

the county of Franklin, near by yonr
capital. Henry Corbin kept a hotel and
saloon in that town. His business as
saloon-keeper was offensive to a class

that be had the lawful right to prosecute
his busines under the laws of the State.
But they did not like the laws which
gave him that right. On the night
tho 14th of this month, while a number
of persona were sleeping in the hotel,
a late hour, keg3 of powder were placed
in the cellar, and, as is supposed, imme
diately under tho room in which Corbin
and his wife and three small children were
sleeping. Tho powder was ignited by

Below the Level.
Tho celebrating Yankee went below the
level of tho modern world a week ago
last Friday and actn&lly celebrated an
ancient Pompeii—the eighteen hun
dredth anniversary of tho destruction of
that city. On that occasion, also, they
began digging anew in the volcanic ashes
and excavated many magnificent orna
mentis and vaees which had been planted
there for the purpose of a convenient and
timely finding, and to crown tbe festivi
ties of tbe day, Vesuvius lighted her pipe
for the occasion and smoked away at a
terrible rate, jast as if tho bad half a

Maw vs. Horse.—As to the compare,

trained and so moving, might increase
his powers of enduring a test strain 07er
common horses nearly as much as
these pedestrians have increased their
powers over those of common men.
A man of average vigor, untrained to
walking, conld probably make, without
absolutely disabling himself, an average
of thirty mites a day for six days. With

The writer came over to the New Eng.
land “Hub” from New York two nights
since,by the steamer “Old Colony,” which
connects at Newport with tho railroad to
Boston. The coat of the whole trip,6m*
bracing two _ hundred miles by sea and
sixty-six on the rail, was only
one dollar.
This was eqnal to a little more than
one-third of a cent per mile, with no
charge for a berth on the steamer. Still,
these exoeptionably low rates induce so
much travel, and the prices asked for the
plainest sapper, on the “European plan”
are so extravagant that the company is
reaping a rich harvest. Thus,we had four
hundred passengers on board who took
np every stateroom at a dollar extra
apiece, and a majority of whom sapped.
When yon consider that a simple beef
steak coats 75 cents, and a plain omelette
and jot of lei 45 oentr,other things being
in proportion, it will be easy to see that
the owners make a good thing of their
cheap passenger fares.
It may be stated as an axiom that the
onto average Yankee never undertakes
any project unless it pays. We were
told that $200 would cover the round
trip of one of these Long Island Sound
steamers to Newport.

the writer had tho very best opportunity

a marked individuality about tfceie build

Many of them aro exceedingly elegant

Method and system reigned every where.
Long rows of drawers were filled with

INTEMPERATE TEMPERANCE.
On Sauna b night as we oonld tear of
no charch appointment in reach of oar
quarters at tho Amerioan House, whioh,
by ihe way is ono of tha best kepi ho el)
in Boston, the deponent attended wbat
purported to be a temperance religious
gathering of the “Fanned Hall Club.”
And sure enough, nearly ail of the
speakers were clergymen and evangelists.
Bat never was religion so travestied and
Deity dethroned and made to play as
sab3ervieDt a part in a scheme purely of
man’s invention. ’
Tho first speaker was a Portland pas
tor, and his very opening sentence, an
attack upon
GOVERNOR GABCELON,
for his Atlanta revelations' concerning
the working of tho Maine Liquor Law,
showed the animus of the man. He was
cemperanoe” on nothing all through.
Then followed a Scotchman, who pitched
into the Sonth tquarely, and gloried that,
in years p&3C, because he*had aided the
eeu.p9 of a fugitive slave, he bad beon
imprisoned and
HANDOUnriD TO A NEGRO.
The old man fairly boiled over, and in
voked tbe wrath of God upon all lager
beer makers and drinkers, and dealers in
the “ardent.”
He was a fanny old fellow, and bronght
down the house frequently with his
quaint and unique deliveranoes. After
him came several others, the burden of
whose talk was the glorifioation of Wen
dell Phillips and abase of the South.
The negro, they declared, bad been lib
erated but was not free, and somehow,
albmt it wae a temperance meeting, the
effete question of slavery was constantly
lagged in and formed the staple of the
several harangues. One bold New Eng
lander attacked tho churoh for its apa
thy on the subject of temperance, and
declared it was tbe mission of Us apos
tles to “edneato” tbe pastors of the com
munity up to the fall standard of their
doty in the premises. Boston was eu
logized as
THE CRABLE OP AMEBICAN LIBERTY,
and the only spot on the habitable globe
where if a man was so fortunate as to be
born, there was no necessity for a second
birth. Bnm drinkers, ram sellers and all
who handled ardent spirit 3 were anathe
matized as unclean and detestable, and
furious appeals made to tho people to re
voke all licenses to sell spirits and to
make it a criminal offense. Bat to ac
complish this money was wanted, bo the
hat was handed atonnd; bat, aim! Geor
gia didn’t respond worth a cent, and for
that matter New Esgland did not do
mnoh better.
At the olese of the meeting the pledge,
a red hcfiionolad” production, was read
and all tipplers invited to sign it. Bat
bow sad! After ell that bloody shirt thun
der and the frantic appeals made to the
victims of alcohol, not a man came for
ward and pat his “fist” to the doonment.
MORAL.
Even temperate people can bs intem
perate in their dogmas and deliverances,
and under such circumstances ro-action
i3 inevitable. Those temperance reform
ers damaged their cause as might have
been expected, because they sought to el-
vatowhatia simply one of the virtues in
culcated in holy writ to the dignity of
genuine religion, and even sought to give
it the precedence. Yes, it was gravely
asserted that the temperance clubs ehonld
edneato the ohnrch up to its proper stand
ard ot duty.
Temperance i? a good thing and to bo
encouraged by all men; but as an insti
tution it is of earth, earthy, and can
never be enbatitnted for the religion of
Christ. Indeed, Christianity covers and
includes temperance; fordo not the ea-
cred oracles declare that a drunkard can
not enter the kingdom of heaven ?
BOSTON MEN AND WOMEN.
We admire the “Hub” for its enter
prise, eoonomy and intelligence; its nu
merous philanthropicil foundations, so
munificently endowed; its schclarly sci
entists and ancient patriotio record. Bat
New England’s metropolis is not tho
placo for a man to seek a wife who has
an oyo for those delioate charms of per
son which constitute the crowning graces
of a lovely woman. With remarka
bly few exceptions, the ladies are
(usiog the mildest word permissible) de
cidedly “plain.” And this is tho case
both in the higher and lower walks of life.
As in Baltimore, yon seldom meet a fe
male who has not some claims to beamy,
here it is as diffioait to find ono who ie real
ly good looking. Bach feetl It is no won
der that Boston is headquarters for tho
leather trade, for certainly tbe hems
consumption of the attiole most be tre

inoho3 in length, and another oonld, if
she choso, imitate tho lads who curl their
incipient monstsohes. They aro strong
minded too, as was evinced in that tem
perance meeting.

there is the greatest possible contras: with

chants, too, are uniformly courteous and
agreeable. All will testify that the n
verse of this is true of New York. There
the policeman is your only friend. So on
tho whole we like Boston, and it is not
surprising that a people who possess »o
much sclf-relianoo and independence, and
really have wrought such wonders on
that barren soil, should bs prond of their

LINES TO A CAT.
I love thee, eat; I Iota thy pleasant ways;
1 love to tee thee dozing round the honse:
I love, through mil these dreamy summer days.
To watch the oirrumvent the hsshiol mouse;
I lore to hear thy calm can ten ted parr.
And stroke thy coat—so near and yet so far.
Bat I love not when starrv night is come,
To hear thse, cat, with velvet padded hcof,
Rapid as taps upon the startled dram!
Or summer raindrops pattering on thevoot,
For when thy paws slip from their velvet jacket.
Thou art a wild Niagara cat—a cat a racket.
Sweet warhler, when the radient moonlight
falls
In mellow splendor on the haunted shed.
Oft have I listened to tby plaintive wanls.
And cursed thee from my sleep deserted bed.
How have I wept to heir thy long drawn shout,
’Maria! O-h Ma-ri-al Cornin’ ou-outr”
O cat ambitious! Thau wort barn to lead:
Thou art the fir at in peace, in war, tb e tors,*
And to provide for each and every need.
Thou never goest without thy purrs,
And like most human vocalists who sing,
Yon got your back up/cat, at everything.
Why dost thou rage, vain cat, when sablt night
With dewy "freshness fills the silent air?”
Why dost thou climb the roof to yell and fight
Arid up and split and snort and claw and
swear?
Dost thon not blush, sweet cat, when rosy dawn
Sees thy for clawed out and one eye gone?
O cat, thon wouldst not thus distnTb themocn,
If to tho temperance pledge you would bnt
stick,
Thou wouldst not fight unless at some saloon
Thon didst get tighter, cat, than any brick,
I know yon, cat: I see it in yonr eye,
Fall oft you take tout catnips on the sly.
Go. gentle cat, go from my lap and prowl t
Upon the dizzy wood-shed’s beetling height.
On lofty dormer window sit and howl,
And everything that weareth cat-hair fight.
And I will lore thee still, for all that.

The nomination of Gen. Hancock Tor Gen.
MoOIellan by the Democrate this J6ar would
bo a very sagacious move. Both of these
gallant soldiers are patriotic and devoted to
the Union. Their education in the army has
taught them to look to the whole country,
bnt their regard for the constitution has
kept them from any temptation to infringe
upon the rights of the Btate. Either ot
these gentlemen would be a popular candi
date. MoOIellan still retains the affection
of the soldiers, whioh he secured in a meas
ure beyond that of any other general in the
late war, while Hanoook has been tiied in
the administration of govemmeut and the
work of reconstruction in the South. It is
evident that the Democratic party has made
snch mistakes as have increased the distrnst
of people in the North, and that it cannot
regain confidence except by purging its ticket
of every suspicion ot the cause beaten in the
war. To this end the nomination of a man
who was a leader of the Union forces, and
at the same time loyal to the constitution,
like McClellan or Hancock, would bs the
most effective measure.

The Quickness oe Things.—Oa tho
17th of July last, Messrs. C. H. Rogers &
Co., wero driven oat o' their store by a
furious conflagration. Yesterday, seven
ty-three days after, they moved back
into a much finer store on tha samo Bits
Astoreof two high stories and a cellar
—a hundred and eighty-five feet long
and thirty-five wide, with strong brick
walls and iron frontage, and undoubtedly
one of the finest groojry stores in the
State. It is trne they will have to wago
a close frontier struggle with the carpen
ters for some time yel, bat they will hold
their ground and clear the field in a few
days. Meanwhile they are pouring in
the goods at tke rate of several dray
toads per hoar, and so doabt will to-day
be pouring them oat with tolerable ra
pidity. j
RUBBERY OF A WAREHOUSE
spetdy Capture et tbe Tblrf.
Xesterday the report became ;ourrent
that a thief had burglarized tho wate
house of Messrs. Siulsbnry, Esspats &
Co. The faots in the ease are these. On
Saturday last Moses Grant, a oolored man
in the employ ot tbe warehouse, was dis u
charged. On Tuesday evening he con
cealed himself in tho warehouse end was
looked np, when 'ho establishment was
closed for the nigbt.
Shortly after it was closed he songht
tho office, and, knowing tho arrange
ment of the oish drawer, but being an
familiar with the combination, prized it
open from the rear. Tbe shades of tho
window were carefully pulled down to
soreen bim from observation from the
street. Abont $140 were removed from
tbe drawer, but all checks wore left cn
molested.
He then broke out of the warehouse
and left. Daring the evening he was
heard of at ono of the low bar-rooms of
the city creating some disorder. The
loss of the money was discovered abont
6 o’clock yasterday morning, and officer
Henderson, on whose beat
occurred, was promptly notified. He
went to work at onoo, and by seven
o’clock had caged his man. The prompt
and effioient manner in whioh he worked
up the case does efiioer Henderson great
credit as a good officer and detective.
On searching tho darkey f 60 ol the
money were found secreted in his sock?.
He then confessed to tho crime, and said
after obtaining the money ho made
number of Durohases at a Third street
store. Lieutenant xtunuy, vs u.. r .u
force, took tho matter in hand and soon
found tho goods. A trunk and valiso
wero promptly turned over by the
proprietors of tho store, and were
found to be filled with
miscellaneous stock of dry good3 and
ciothing. This part of the case was well
worked up by Lieutenant Harley. It is
not often dissovery follows so olosely on
the commission of a crime, and tho arrest
of tho offender does credit to tho effi
ciency of onr polioe force.
A Fine ltntifilng—Rapid Work
Yesterday Messrs. C. H. Rogers & Co.
moved into the new store built for them
by Mr. G. B. Roberts, on tbo site of the
old eland on Cherry street. The work on
the store has been rapidly done by
Messrs. Hendrix & Cox, and reflects
credit on them. The contract was
signed before tbe smoko from the ruins
had parsed away, and forty-five
dajs thereafter possession was given to
Messrs. Rogers & Oo. The store itself is
a very extensive one, extending back fur
ther than the old ono, and rising in much
more comely and imposing proportions,
Io is built in the most snb3tancial man
ner, and is a credit to tbo street and tho
city. Yesterday work was commenced
clearing away the debrh of tho other
two burned stores, preparatory to the
erection cf two other stores on their
site.
The Chicago Nines gives the following
welcome to the exedizing negro from the
Sonth:
The Southern negro will again begin
his exodns in the fall, it is said. The
cause is given as being his inability to
longer endnre the oppression of the
Southern storekeeper and the Southern
planter. Still, if the colored gentleman
and his family is ooming North with the
false idea that he ia to have an ovation
and that the men with whom he will deal
are angels lingering on earth to shower
blessings on him, then he will be greatly
mistaken. If ho emigrates, he will have
to fight for a living with a vigor of which
be has not dreamed. He mult he pre
pared to work like a white man and not
like a negro.

of whioh get goods at wholesale cost.
The colony has its own school, church,
doctors, etc., and their own candidates

dairies and cheese factories in successful
operation, and their products find ready
sale at fancy priseB. They have splendid
herds of cattle, and their barns ore built
as carefully as their houses.

It is a pity to let such establishments

If something is not done tho Fall fencing

Harerly’s Colored Minstrel*.
On tho 8th instant, Haverly’s Colored
Minstrels will appear at Ralston Hall.
The troupe has received some fine press
notices in their oirenit. The Atchison
Champion in speaking of the tronpe,8aya :
“Manager Haverly naver brought a
poor show to Atchison, and the audience
that greeted his company of minstrels
last evening demonstrated that Atchison
people appreciated this faot. It was the
largest audienco that has been assembled
in Corinthian Hall for at least a year.
And to say that this audience was de
lighted, only faintly expresses their en
thusiaam. in all respects, the perform
ance was first-class; in cone has it ever
been excelled in this city; in many fea
tures, it far surpasses any minstrel
troupe that has ever visited Atchison.
The opening songs and choruses were
admirably rendered, and tbe end men
were irresistibly amnsing, keeping the
audience in a roar of laughter. The Bo-
heo brothers in their performance on the
banjo, are the champions. We have
never seen their equals. The hen antics
of Bob Mack are as nniquo as they are
oomic. The double quartette chanting
wero entirely amn3icg. The dancing of
Anderson, Sykes and tho Bohee brothers
conld hardly be improved, and was most
enthusiastically encored. And ,it there
ara any droller, more amnsing burlesque
performers thanMoIntosb, Grace, Devo-
nsar. Mack and 'loore, we have never
seen them. In brief, the performance
last ovecing waa a genuine feast of
mirth, fan and frolic, and every ono in
the orowded house laughed and laughed
and roared with laughter, until they were
sore. Whenever this troupe visits Atch'
isoa they can depend on a royal wel
come.”

called my atten'ion to an article rathe Union on

first application was a great relief and tho third
took the scales all oil, and I felt liko a new man.
I have used three SO cent boxes sad my skin is

The patient commenced using the Cuticura

When he walked there would at least one

Last night wo had a most delightfn

Every character was well, and some of
them very finely presented. Mire Either
Batter, a3 Giroile, was exquisite, and she
was handsomely supported by Maras*

Monrzonkwas docs exceedingly well
by Mods. Nathal. There was no leading
character which was weak.
The choruses ara good, the whole caste
a strong one and well handied.
Chattanooga has not at any timo had

see the hall tnll to-night, when Pinafore

The former opera the company played
