The apportionment bill aa it standi is a Republican measure, _ aud as South Carolina is also in favor of the proposed plan, it ia reasonable to aa- snrae that tbe bill will become a law with material amendment, sayathe Atlanta Constit’-tion. Instead then ot 185 electoral voles being necessary to elect a President, the successful candidate must have at least 201. Iu the old electoral college there were 309 votes; in the new there will be 401, or 404 if Dakota, be comes x state. In the last named event a majority would be 203. It ia reasonably certain that Dakota will become a .state, and. that there fore the next President most secure 203 electoral votes. Under tbe ex isting apportionment tbe sixteen southern states cast 138 electoral votes; under ihe£propoi«d law they will cast 153. Let us assume that the south will be solid iu 1884—dem ocratically solid. Jnst 60 additional votes are needed. New York will cast 36 and Indiana 15—total 51, or a relative loss ot two votes. In other words, under tbe present law, New York, Indiana and the south would cast 188 votes when 185 are necessa ry, under the new law they will cast 204 when 203 are essential to success. If Indiana should go over to the ene my, Nevada’s three votes aud New Jersey nine would not suffice. No vada, New Jersey and Connecticut -would replace Indiana, and give us a margin of tour voles, but Counecti cut is no longer reliably Democratic. We could spare Connecticut if we sou Id carry Calilot nia, Indiana could be given up in cate Colorado, Nevada and New Jersey went Democratic, The whole truth is, the situation will uot bu greatiy changed by tbejnew law; for New York will retain all her power as tbe Presideut nruKiue state, aud Iudiaua will remain as piv- ovtal as before. A nominee that could curry Ohio would, 'however, unsettle the slates. Uuder the new bill the southern gains foot up fifteen, namely: Aikansas, 1; Georgia, 1 Kentucky 1; Mississippi 1; Missou ri 1; North Carolina 1, South Caro lina 2; Texas 5; Virginia 1; and West Virginia 1. No southern state loses a member. The net northern guns are seventeen, Thestat.esthat suffer losses are Maine, New Ramp- shire and Vermont, one each. The papers are saying a great deal about Jeff rsouian democracy, Bour- bouism, and the like; but we con fess we feel more interest in the grain crops of the coining season than in those matters.

St. Louis Republican. Those who attended tbe meeting of the Woman’s Board if Missions at the Presbyterian rooms yesterday als ternoon were grieved and astonished when they listened to the reading of a very sensational letter from Miss Maggie J. Dunbar, a Presbyterian missionary, stationed at prenent at Fort Wrangell, Alaska. Through the letter its author described the terrible tlbfferinga of several families, old men and young children, recently tortured to death for the alleged crime of witchcraft. Thd victims, in cluding persons of various ages, frem four to seventy years, were tried by the heathen tribunals ot the place, and sentensed to death. At Lock, a portion of Alaska where tbe an- taent, population of the place predomi nates, and enforces their unwritten law, which consists of all the super stitions their ancestors fonnd leisure to devise and hand down to their posterity, a family found guilty of be ing spiritual jugglers, of a type sup posed to be in league with the devil, were taken out and tied' to trees. The grandmother of tbe family was tied to a large forest tree, and lett there to starve. After giviug her salt water whenever she asked that her thirst might be quenched, the demons about the tree fiually hacked her to death with knives. The balance ot the family succeeded in breaking away from their captors, and escaped by plunging into a dark, and, to all appearances, impenettable forest, filled with wild beasts. These perse* cuted people wandered about through the dark reeestt.es, of this wilderness, cold and buugry, until they could stand their sufferings no longer, when they concluded to cross the enemy’s oountry under cover ot darkness, and reach, if possible, Fort Wrangell, where they knew they would be safe in the presence of a United Stales man-of-war. They reached the ocean, and took to a canoe. In This trail bark they pursued their journey, buggiug the coast as closely as possi ble until they arrived at the fort, al most dead and scarcely able to talk. The missionary, who was walking on the beach on the evening ot their ars rival, saw the canoe land. The craft contained an old man and two chil dren, who related their frightful ad ventures and asked for protection. The children were taken into the inis* siouary home of the fort. The two girls, the letter states, looked rather odd walking to the home along the beach robed in blankets tattered and torn. A SCENE IN IRELAND. , HovOqProcexa- Server was Forced tej Eat Hit writ. ' Dublin IriahfTimea. 1 At the usual fortnight petty sessions bold last week—tbe presiding magis trates being Col. Stuart and Mr. T. B. Wilson—three young, men named Corbett and a man named Sena were charged with havining murderously asaanlted a process-server named Shee- Patrick Sheedy deposed that be bad resided in Carrick-on-Snir, and was procese-server. On Thursday, the 20th of Doceraker last, he got a number of writs to serve on the tens ants of Mr. Scally. Tbe writa were for rente due. In the discharge of that duty be proceeded to Ballyneal, and served some oi the tenants with writs. ‘While you were serving thou writs did anything happen to you?’ ‘I had them all served but two— one for Mrs. Shea and another. I got as far as Shea’s house and 1 entered tbe farm house, Shea, the prisoner, met me. He aaid: ‘Sneedy, I never thought I would see you at this dirty work.’ ‘Did anything happen you then?’ ‘Yes; 1 beard voices m the kitchen, and I became frightened, and turning, ran; but belore I got twenty yards I was seised by three or four persona, and dragged back into tbe kitchen.’ ‘Were the writs taken from you?’ •Yea.’ ‘Alter you were Liken to the kitch en did anything happen to youf ‘Yes; 1 was knocked down on tbe broad of my back, and several parties shouted. ‘Shove the writs down his throat.’ ‘Can you say if the prisoners were the parties who shouted, ‘Shove them down his throat? I was too terrified to know whodid it. Were the prisoners there at all. .Yes; they were all in the kitchen. You say that you. were knocked down in the kitchen. When you were knocked down, did an\ thing happen to you ? Hymaiial Coincidences. Wa-liington Cor. Baltimore San. Mr. William Hughes, ot Baltimore, was married to Miss Mollie Bur roughs. of Mathews county, Va., on last Thursday, and came to Wash ington on Friday, en ronte for Tope ka, Kansas, their future home. Tbis marriage forms a link in a chain of remarkable coincidences. Mr. Hughes has three brothers whose birthdays fall on February 16. Each ot tbe four brothers was married on his twenty- sixth birthday, at the same church and by the same minister, the bride in each case bring at the age of 21 cn their wedding day. A little girl whom tbe missionary calls Georgia, only five years of age and an orphan, resided with an aunt. This aunt took sick one day, when J^yhikhwaiti aceeaiad.of -bewitching her, and ‘making her bad medicine.’ As aeon ax this accusation was made the unfortunate little creature was locked up in a room, where she was kept for three days without food or water, and whipped unmercifully, un til her body was literally covered with discolored marks." The chief of one ot the Christianized communities heard of the outrage and reportod the matter to the military authorities ot the fort, who visited tbe place where tbe child was confined one night, res cued her, and took her to tbe mis sionary home. Both the cases des cribed have been reported to the Captain of the man-of-war stationed at tbe fort, .and the savages, it ia thought, will ultimately be punished. TBE CITY OF MACON. There is no paper that we read with more interest than the Macon Telegraph & Messenger; and there is no, city whose progress we watch with closer attention or more gratifi cation, than the beautiful (Jem ralcity of Georgia. Tbis is partly due to the fact that for many years, Macon wax our home. Here the halcyon days ot our childhood and youth werespent— perhaps the happiest period of life But there is another reason and that is that Macon’s progress up ward in financial prosperity and com mercial importance is snch as cannot fail to be gratifyiug to all who know the splendid old city and its charac teristics. With a steady unfaltering step, she marches onward. Without the rapid growth which some cities have attained, or tbe self-assertion of othera, e’ue has taken on growth as rapidly as is compatible with a truly healthy condition ; and she has never taken a step backward. Uupreteo tious, yet deserving, modest, bold in genuine progress, Macon maintains a queenly position among southern cit ies, and is the worthy home of some of tbe best people that ever breathed tbe air of heaven. We rejoice from- day to day, to note, in the columux ot the Telegraph and Messenger, the steady, increas ing advancement of our old home. Wbat it has done in the past seemi but a foreshadowing of what it will do in tite future. Macon will never have more good fortune than it de-' serves. Damages Obtained. St. Loais Republican. The wife of a drunken husband who was killed by being thrown from a buggy on hia wav home from a tavein where he bad become intoxi cated, has obtained judgment for $5,000 in the New York conrt of ap peals against the owner of the prop erty where the liquor was sold. In this case the owner is the wife of tbs tavern keeper who sold the liquor. The court hold* her responsible for the consequences of the act of her husband, who is her tendant. One Consolatioo. Savannah New*. The Unite! Slates Senate bus pass ed tbe bill to tax the people heavily tor the support of Grant as a Gener al ot the Army upon the retired list. Of course, it will pass the flense, and Arthur will promptly sign it. There is one consolation to be derived troin all this. It will remove the Inst possible excuse for continuing to make ot General Grant a public mendicant, and it is probable, therefore, that hereafter the country will have some rest on that score. ‘Let us have peace.’ Tee Utterly Street, Parson Kewmaa. New York Tribune. Parson Newman has bexpat'ered Gen. Grant with * fulsome praise. When be un- ertnkes eulogy he ex hausts the resources of the tongue His sweetness cloys.

An inquisitive Fiench bishop once caught a Tartar in the Duke de Ro- qnelaire. The latter, passing in haste through Lyons, was hailed by the bishop with ‘Hi 1 hi S’ The Duke stopped. ‘Where have you come from?’ inquired the prelate. ‘Paris,’ said the Duke. ‘What is there fresh in Paris?’ ‘Greqp peas.’ But what were the people saying when yea left?* ‘Vesper*.’ ‘Goodness, man,’ broke out the angry questioner, ‘who are yoo? What are you called?’ ‘Ignorant people call *me Hi! hi! Gentleman term me the Duke de Ro- quelaire. Drive on, postillion.’ One morning a woman was shown into Dr. Abernethy’s room; belore he could eak she bared her arm, saying Urn.’ ‘A poultice,’ said the Doc tor. Next day she called again, howi d her arm aDd said. • ‘Better.’ Continue the poultice.’ Some days elasped before Abernethy saw her again; then she aaid: ‘Well, your fee?' •Nothing,’ quoth the great medico, •you are the moutsenaible woman lever saw.’ Lord Aberdeen, the premier of the coalition ministry, was reirarks able tor the little use he made ot his tongue. When, by way of reconcil ing him to accompany her on a set trip, the Queen smilingly observed: ‘I believe, my lord, you are not often sea sick?’ ‘Always, madam,’ was the brief but significant reply. 'But,' said her Majesty, ‘not very sea siok?, Veiy, tpadam,* said the uncompro mising minister. Wellington, we need hardly say, was not given to use too many words. One example of bis economy thia way will auffioe. The Duke wrote to Dr. Hutton for information as to the scientific ac- quirments of h young officer who had been under his instruction." The doa. tor thought be could do no less than answer the question verbally, and made an appointment accordingly. Directly Wellington saw him he said: ‘I am obliged to you, Doctor, for tbe trouble you have taken. Is fit for tbo post?* Clearing his throat, Dr. Hutton began: ‘No man more so, u>y lord, I can > ‘That’s quite suf ficient.’ said Wellington; ‘I know how; valuble your time i»; mine, just now* is equally so. I will not detain you any (eager. " " What. As soon as they shouted, ‘Shove the writs down liis throat, I plead ed for mercy, but it was no use, and one ot the party stuck a writ into my mouth, aud I was held down until I swallowed it. They made you swallow tbe writ? Yes; Shea’s writ. Did any ot the prisoners take part in tbis ? It was not they that shoved the writ down my throat, but they assists ed in holding me while it was being pushed down my throat. Did you swallow more than coo writ? I was kept down until I swallowed tbe other. Did you get any water to wash them down ? [Laughter.] Yes; after I swallowed the first writ somebody said to give me a drink of boiling water, and after that I got some dirty drater to drink.’ . And after you got the water they made vou swallow the second writ ? Yes sir. Did anything rise happen to you ? •Yes, I was cuffed and beaten, and threatened that if I ever was got at such dirty work again I _ would not get off so easily; and just as I was oing out cf the kitchen running, a ;ettle of boiling water was thrown af ter me, but it did out do me any harm.

Higginson says: lam not given to predicting just wbat will happen when women vote, but I cons fidently assert that they will be taken to the jiolta in fitst class carriages, as old or invalid or indolent voters are now. Tbe.carriage will be only the beginning of tbe polite attentions that will soon appear. When we Bee tbe transformation undergone by every ferryboat and every railway station, so soon as it comes to be frequented by women, who can doubt that vto- ing places will experience the same change? They will soon have—at least in the ladies’ department—^ele gance instead of discomfort, beauty for ashes, plenty of rocking-chairs, and no need ot spittoons—the Massa- ebusetts Legislature has already passed a law forbidding' tORikingal the polls. Very possibly they may have all modern conveniences and in conveniences. furnace registers, tea kettles, Washington pies, aud a young lady to give checks for bundles. Who knows what elaborate comforts, what queenly luxuries may be offered to women at voting places whsn the time has finally arrived to sue for their votes? People look at the coarseness and dirt now. visible at bo many voting places, and say: ‘Would you expose women to all that?’ But these places are not dirtier than a railway smuking car; and there is no more coarseness than in any lerryboat, which is, for whatever reason, uaed by men only. You do not look into these place* and say with indignation: ‘Never, if I can help it, shall my wile or my beloved greatgrandmother travel by steamboat or by rail.’ You know that with these exemplary rela tives will enter order and quiet, car pets and curtains, brooms and dus ters. Why should it be otherwise with ward rooms and town halls? There is not an atom more ot intrin sic difficulty in provid : ng a decorous ladies’ room for a voting place, than for a post office or a railway station; and it is as simple a thing to vote a ticket as to buy one.’ The Pope’s New Home. A curious story is told at some length by Figaro concerning the ne gotiations which it asserts have re cently taken place in regard to the expected departure of the I'ope from Rome. Tiiis flight from the Vatican has long been the fixed purpose of Leo XIII, but it is only recently that be has decided to go. Prince Bis marck offered to repeal the May laws and to authorize the expelled priests to return to the parishes ir the Pope would consent to fix his future resi dence at Frankfort. He promised that the city should be neutralized; as il) the time, of (he. Gel man Confeder* tion, aud offered the Pope its tempo ral sovereignty, with a subsidy of many millions per annum. Leo de clined. Strasburg was then offered him ou the same terms as Frankfort. This offer was also refused. A ref uge in France was out of the ques tion. So at last the Pope closed with the offer of Salzbur, which has been made" him by the Hapshurgs. The ci y is to be neutralized, and the Pope subventioned from the Austrian exs chequer. Everything ia said to be in readiness tor the tranxfer ot the Holy See from Rome, to Salzburg, and be fore long the hour of departure will be fixed. Disease in lee. The New York World, backed by Professor Pornpelly, of Newport, and ofessor Pornpelly, ol Dr. Bell,ofNew York,both emrainent scientists, is investigating tbe subject of disease in ice. Professor Pornpel- ly las been studying tbe ice question for some years, aud discovers that freezing will not kill tbe bacteria and other germs, which propagate disease, as has generally been supposed, and that the ice made from water into which any sewerage flows is liable to propagate typhoid and other fevers -whether placed iti drinking water or in a cooler to cool meat. This fact the Professor proves by innumerable instances, and he proves his taith by his works; for he never drinks water in which ice has been plaoed. He always cools hia water in bottles, which are plaoed in ice . Neverthr less, we dare say, people generally will continue to drtuk ice water ail tbe same. Prohibition la Georgia. Hawkinsville Dispatch.

Snctmarlnc Navigation. London Telegraph. A young Roumanian engiueer nam ed TrajaD Teodorescu, has at length succeeded in surmounting the difficul ties that have heretofore baffled in-, ventors without number. A few weeks ago this gentleman submitted to the consideration of a technical commission, appointed by the Rou manian government, his model of / a fiahvshaped s ed boa:, provided with ibeine iusof locomotion and stored with air sufficient lor the consump tion of its crew during a period ot submer.-ion but exceeding fifteen hour*. The stock of air, however, can he renewed at will by raising the vessel to a point Jrom six to nine leet beneath the . surface of the water, whence, by means of pneumatic pumps and a slender iron tube passed through a practical circular trap in its roof, it will be able to take in its atmostpher- ic provision. The interior of the boat is illuminated brilliaully from stem to stern by electric light'throwc upon powerful reflectors. With tbe aid of this light it will be enabled to search for torpedoes at but little risk to itself, and to conduct its own of fensive operations against hostile fleats with the utmost precision.

The conformation of the.bird’s neck is such that food, must pass directly across the windpipe to reach its des tination, and in tbe case of a china berry this journey is rather trouble some to the bird. The berry lodges against tbe windpipe and the attempts to swallow it result in suffocation. It is then the bird falls from the tree, and his efforts to swallow the berry have tbe appearance of drunkenness. Generally the bird recovers, but some times it is choked to death.
