THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1S66.-TWELVE PAGES. , U TI1E I’A! L OF NEW YOKK. Tbo Bombardment uf the ( Ity by a South American Man-Of-War. New York Telegraph of June 2,1827. Ht is with no ordinary emotions that we *r bounce to our readers in both hemis pheres the surrender of the city of New E»rk t aft jr a brief bombardment, to the Knbined fleets of Chili and Patagonia. Ris event may be characterized as one of tbe greatest iuilitnry surprises of modern fimes. The articles of capitulation were signed late yesterday afternoon. The city is now quiet. HBh’.ing to the earliness of the hour at which we go to press, we can give but the most abbreviated summary of the circum • stances which culminated in this great mu- uioipal and national humiliation. r It appears that the Republic of Chili had r. often preferred an old claim against our go' rument, growing out of certain raw ^Irupl er and guuno contracts entered into \ with a former mayor of this city, who was •■ejnted to bo a citizen of the United States. ‘Jteboated demands had been made for the settlement of this claim without attractinj the attention of our Secretary of State, am ' it ^emg that more than five months ago Cl'fli, forming an alliance with Patagonia, • formally declared war ugainst the United 1 -SMtcs. This formal declaration being ver bally conveyed to onr Minister in Chili in th<» Spanish patois peculiar to the west coast jMSonth America, he, being unable to a imulerstand Spanish unless spoken with d i the pure Castilian accent, failed to per- ! ceive the gravity of the situation, and di plomatically presumed that the communi cation was an invitation to attend a ball in thd Presidential palace at Santiago. This incident has betrayed a serious defect in our civil service system, for our minister, lijur. O'Briou, who was fonncly custom : houso weigher in Brooklyn, has passed > through all the grades of the civil service J. before his promotion in the field of diplo macy, and yet it appears he had no enact knowledge of South American dialects. Presi dent Mahone, who owes his elevation to '* the chief magistracy of our nation sorely to his devotion to civil service reform, nlnhiLl see that this defect in civil-service re< nireuients is remedied at once, bjl As to the responsibility of the Secretary Stile for the shameful affnir of yesterday, kjhtjro is much difference of opinion. It is affirmed by his friends that it was impossi- lililfor him to bestow any attention npon So 4th American affairs while the complica tions with Austro-Hungary, growing out of tkiUndiscreet management of the Keiley imbroglio by a former secretary, remained imicttTed. It is intimated that at the very tinie when Chilian wrath was excited to the highest pitch by what was considered the -^Hied neglect and cold injustice of onr trnment, our Secretary of State was ah- *d in preparing a reply to the ultimatum ie Austrian government that no Amori- ninister should ever bo officially receiv- Viennese Conrt unless his wife owned n ;in sacqne and his children had been lated by Pasteur. While some allow- inay be made for the absorbing nature lif the secretary s duties, it is probable that Congress will take a very different view of .‘ It and will immediatelynppointacommittee „lif investigation to take testimony and ro- > f resh incuts at one of onr most costly hotels. It is absolutely necessary that an example skdnld be made of somebody. — Until 12 o'clock yesterday the citizens of this metropolis were in profound ignorance f the fact that they were threatened by iintile fleet of font gunboats maneuver- tig for choice of position off Barnegat. at hour Mayor Sharp, who was at >eon in the Astor House, was ap- hed by a military official in full dress, mi he mistook for one of the corporals ie “OM Onard.” Tho official presented with n formidable looking elocument, hlcli the mayor at first thought was a proposal for extending the Broadway 1 through the Bumble in Central He could make nothing of the com- tion, but Chief Justico Oliver, who cippc ned near, called ono of the courtin- '" crpt t rs, and this official, after much eliffi- ilft, translated tho document as follows: I lUSNSnAT.

Scarcely had the consternation which followed the effects of the second shell be gun to spread like n contagion, when ■•B-r-r-r-Boom” came another, directly in a line with the last. The Spanish Americana had plainly got the range nnd were accom plished artillerists. This shell, poising high m mid-air, seemed to waver for a moment over the Department of Public Works, nnd then, taking a north by west direction, it descended with fierce momentum in the vicinity of Forty-sixth street and Brondway, evidently making for the office of the Con solidated Goa Company.

The fuse was sizzing away with implacable rapidity. The clerk wub undaunted. Fortunately the door of tho largo safe was open. It contained the wa tered stock of the compnDy. He seized the shell swiftly, but without visible signs of trepidation. He plunged the hissing fuse into the watered stock. It was extin guished. By this time the city was in an uproar. Citizens were running inall directions with out apparent object or care for the future— the present nbsorbed all their energies. The torror was universal. Even the Bud- densick Hats above Seventieth street were observed to tremble. The yacht Atalanta, loaded to the hawse holes, was seen steam ing awiftly through Hell Gate, seeking on outlet to the trackless ocean. A frightful rumor spread about that Ludlow Street jail had been struct by a shell, liberating all the inmates who were marching in n body to ward Delmonico'a to get a square meal and charge it to the city. Taxpayers rushed for the office of the mayor only to disco7or that the City Hall no longer existed. The mayor had escaped up Broadway in one of his fast, nevor-stop cars, and was en route to his farm in Sknnentles. Thouaands nssembleil in City Hall Square, and daring a slight loll in the tiring a conncil of war w aa held. The damage already done by the bombardment was beginning to be appreciated. Speeches were made by prominent citi zens denouncing the inactivity of the artil lerists in Forts Hamilton, Wadsworth, La fayette and Columhua. Bnt it is now clear that no one waa to blame in that quarter. Tho guns had not been, fired since they saluted President Arthur’s flag away back in *83; through long disuse they have become embossed with lichens, nnd plugged up with toadstools and cobwebs, and there is little or no communication be tween the rusty vent holes nnd flaring cali bers; besidea it was expeotedthat any en emy wonld como up the liarbO in the regu lar way. and the sights could not be ad justed for Barnegat without the aid of the balloon corps. The attack was so sudden that it was Impossible to get out the bal loons, wnich, for greater security, had been stored in a government magazino in Mon- tana. At last a pugnacious taxpayer addressed the crowd and poldly proposed to surrender the city at once before further damage waa done. He urged, in rapport of his propo sition, that tho hoard cf aldermen was ex tinguished; that tho gas monopoly waa bad ly scared; that Jay Gonld had fled to parts nnknown and Jake Sba-p had retired; that New York was absolutely unprotected by military defences; that all tho great gene rals of the war were dead exeept Gen. ler and citizens might imagine the conse quences of inviting him here to take pos session. This last argument prevailed. A white flag was dispatched to the Lower Bay. * Two hours later Admiral Juan Sancho de Lynchio.at the head of apaltoonof marines, marched up Broadway, and calling for Su perintendent of Police Byrnes, told that official that he would be held responsible for tho preservation of order. affecting incident of the eonqnerer'a mnrch np Broadway waa the recog nition by an old lady of the Sixth Ward of her long lost son in the person of Admiral d« Lynchio, who was formerly known here ns Johnny Lynch, nnd who is said to he a great-grandson of the Mr. Lynch who wrote a celebrated treatise on Law and Order. The admiral's replies to the old lady’s affectionate greeting were in broken Spanish, and very touching. Whole blocks of people wept. The admiral's flag is now floating over his headquarters in the Fifth Avenne Hotel. The metropolis of the Western world lins fallen—a victim of municipal corruption nnd national neglect. A DANGEROUS MAN. Can Open and Rob a Safe and Get Away In Twenty Minutes. A Norwich (Ct.) correspondent writes of the yonng burglar, Williams, of Bridgeport, who is now in New London jail: “Give him twenty minntes nlone with a safe, nays Sheriff Hawkins, and Williams can open tho most intricate lock that ever was de vised ; and, if yon will tell him merely the name of the safemaker, he will tell you in- in the lock and give never ply finds out inside of twenty minutes the combination in which it is set, opens the safe, and takes out what he wants and rclocks it, and when the owner returns he finds the safe apparently i nst os he left it. To accomplish iis work, Williams needs, in ad dition to his quick wit and mechan ical knowledge, three ordinary wire*, which he forces into the lock about the handle in snch a way that the number of the combination is reduced to twenty fonr. He reasons that all persons in lockings safe make a certain number of moves, and a knowledge of this fact enables him to far ther reduce its probable combinations to two or three movements. These two or three moves he finds oat by actual trial, which consumea the greater part of hU twenty min utes. In the ease when the safe is in an apartment that is in full view of the atreet, he drops a little quicklime on the floor, pours water on it, and the steam that arises effectually cloaks the windows. In three instances, Williams unlocked safes, ab stracted the contents, relocked them, and made off in the time that the men who were In charge of them wire at their dinners.

The rest of the day they play about, and are al ready verifying M. Pasteur’s prediction by getting fat. Just before the inocculation this morn ing M. Pasteur showed me through his lab oratory. We first entered a small room. A wooden table stood near the window and on the table.were two large rabbits—one white, tho other gray. M. Pasteur said: "Every day two rabbits have to be sacri ficed in order to obtain virus to inoculate the little children from Newark. To-day these are the two victims.” M. Loer, M. Pasteur's new and principal assistant, then caught one of the rabbits by the ears, took a pair of sharp scissors and cut off all the fur from tho top of the rab bit's head. He then stretched the rabbit out flat, bel’y down, npon a square piece of wood. The rabbit’s feet were then tied with strong cord to each corner of the piece of wood. M. Loer then sprinkled chloro form on a piece of paper and held it to the rabbit’s nose until the animal became un conscious. He then took a very sharp knife and made a slit about an inch long thronr* the skin of the rabbit's head just between the eyes. The skin was then stretched apart with pincers, and a sort of wedge of silver wire was inserted so as to hold back the skin and to expose the bare skull. With a delicately constructed instrument, like a small auger, M. Loer thin bored aholo right through the animal’s skull. Into this hole M. Loer inserted a needle, like the point of a syringe, and ini ec ted right into the rab bit's br.dn a solution of virus prepared from the brain of a mad dog. The syi* was then withdrawn, the wedge of the ver wire removed, the wound dressed, the skin carefully sewed together and tho rabbit was labeled with the date and quality of the inoculation and put into a cage. In exactly six days this rabbit will die of rabies, and the Newark children will be in oculated with the virus taken from its brain. By a series of inoculations and re inoculations M. Pasteur can obtain virus of any desired degree of intensity. The strongest vims that he uses iu inoculations is that which causes a rabbit to die of rabies six days after inoculation, the weakest virus used is that which causes the rabbit to die of rabies in fourteen days. In a small room kept constantly heated to tho temperature of 3o degrees centigrade, and called the "inenbating room,” M. Pas teur keeps a supply of virus ready for in stant use. Each bulb of virus is labelled with numbers. The bearing No. 6 contains virus that will kill a rabbit in six days. No. 7 kills a rabbit in seven days. No. 8 will kill a rabbit in eight days, and so on np to No. 14, which kills a rabbit in fourteen days. I then went with M. Wassersuct—ono of M. Pasteur’s assistants—into a cellar con taining several hundred rabbits confined in cages, most carefully and minutely labelled. We stopped before a cage containing a large yellow rabbit, M. Wassersuct asked, "do you notice anything peculiar about that rabbit?” I said: "He looks very sleepy; he twitches and quivers strange* ■ nnd kicks ont in an eccentric manner wit his hind legs.” M. Wasamuct said: "He showed symptoms of rabies on Cnristmas day nnd will die to-night. This yellow rnbbit now proves a fact of vital inipoil- once. DESERTING A HAUNTED VESSEL. Sailors Claim the Captain's Ghost Hangs About a Certain Boston Schooner. Boston Special. The three-masted schoonor William H, Jordan lies at the Iron Works" docks, at Somerset, deserted by all except her col ored cook. She is reputed among the vil lagers to be haunted, nnd her owners find it almost impossible to ship a crew. She arrived here three weeka ago with a cargo of coal. A week ago Saturday Captain Theesherwas killed while overseeing the unloading of an anchor from a train at the railroad dock. That night tho mate and cabin boy went to bed about 0 o'clock. Tho mate says he woko and heard the captain’s voice giving the order, "Take hold of that anchor.” "At last,” says the mate, "I dozed again, and j ust as I was about to lose myself I heard something going on up forward on deck. 1 thought it might be tbe cook rolling barrels about nnd paid no attention to it until I heard a tearful thump on deck Then I sprang np nnd rushed on deck aud looked around. I could not see a soul on Aboard, and after waiting awhile I went below and laid nwako until daylight. When 1 went on deck I found that the bower an chor had been dropped from the bows aft nearly to the waist, whore the shore plank is.

NOTIONS ABOUT BABIES. Mup.r.Ution. That art* Fooll.li .ml Other. Ihkngeroiu. Chicago Mail. 'Tbe way some of these old woman's notions about tbe core of babies bang on is simply marvelous," said Dr. Tomlinson, of tbe health department, to a Mail reporter, “and not leaa marvelous is tbe abject deference which the men of the bouse pay to these notions, particularly if it is bis first. Take, for example, tbo superstition that saffron tea mast be given to the baby to cleat its complexion. I suppose that every fond mother who baa any regard for her lialiy at all, instructed by a long line of il- lnstrioas paternal predecessors, nud fed her baby enough saffron tea to paint Madison street a gorgeous yellow from tbe lake to Western avenne. Hhe might jast as well have dosed it with so mach hot water as far as any drag action is concerned. Bat, law me, tbe milleniam will be nigb at band, indeed, when this useless practice is discontinned. I think tbe most careful, conservative doctors will admit that saffron is a very Inert drag, indeed. There is an other superstition, in which there is possi bly a grain of truth, bnt every stomachache the bony has is always laid to it, and that is change of milk. To hear some of those mothers talk yon wonld think that yon might aa well kill tbe child out right as to change the cow, I couldn’t begin to tell all the fool notions people have about tending ba bies. The worst is that the child mast lie fed all the time it Isn't asleep or it will starve to death. Gorging carries off about half the children who die. I don't count the superstitions which solemnly forbid the placing of three lights in a row m the same loom with the baby, nor allowing the child to look in the mirror, for in . either case before the year is oat a little white coffin will lie in the front parlor. Bnt sorely it is a superstition which fsan to hare a cat in the room with a sleeping baby, for fear it will jump into the crib when no one is looking and sack tbe innocent's breath. What good do yon (appose it would do a cat to draw into its lungs breath which a human being hoe fast exhaled? Bat jast eee how that fond delusion hangs on. The primitive cat got into the pre-Adamite cradle to enjoy the warmth ot the contemporaneous liaby, and tho savage mother believed the cat to be an embodiment of nn evil spirit and chased it away. From that day to this tho supersti tion has obtained, and each succeeding generation bolds the faith with greater te nacity.” “These people believe,” continued the doctor, “that if n child looks at any person with sore eyes the child will bo afflicted in the Hanie way. They also think that piercing the ears improves the eyesight. Another notion which is fostered by superstitions parents is that if a child is bitten by a dog the beast must be killed immediately, not bo much by way of revenge as in the belief that if that dog in the years to come were to go mad the persons bitten would go mod too, if he were in Chinn at the time. “There's a good deni of talk about its be ing wrong to allow children to sleep with S crsons, and although I think there's a deal of foolishness about it, I don't ' bnt there may be some germ of truth in it after all. “But there's superstitious practice that is positively dangerous. It is customary among nnedneated people to‘charm’away wnrts. So long ns it is done with ‘spunk water’ and such harmless things there is no trouble, bnt some of tbe rigmaroles prescribed tbe picking of tho wort nniil the blood comee. Thu blood, you know, most be emenred on a bit of rag and carefully tied np and laid where some unlncky neraon coming along may pick up the bundle and thus get all the warts, wnich leave the afflicted person and fasten upon the new victim. Now, pricking a wart is a dangerous thing, for very often when a growth like that is ir ritated it starts a cancer to growing, and the results are not at all plcsant.” SHOT HERSELF THROUGH DESPAIR.

HpecUL Just before noon to-day hnndreda of peo ple in and about Fnnenil Hull Market heard a faint report of two pistol shots. Investigation showed that Mrs. Muckin, tho young wife of William Mackin, superin tendent of provisions, hnd fatally shot her self in her husband’s office, over the market. Mr. and Mrs. Mackin were mar ried under fnvomblo auspices last sum mer. Mrs. Mackin came trom an exaellent family, and Mr. Mackin was prosperous, with a good position. The tint tew months of their married life were exceedingly happy. Five months after the marriage, however, the husband commenced proceedings for a divorce on the ground of fraud. He in formed his wife tlmt ehe should never want, hut insisted on a separation. She then threatened to commit suicide if her husband took steps to have the marriage annulled. When she visited him to-dny the husband thought that her object wo* to hare tho matter transacted os quietly os possible in order that publicity iu the case might not affect her cnanccs of earning a livelihood. The tragedy followed so qnickly that the unfortunste man was quite overwhelmed.
