THE DAILY TIMES, JOHN 11. MAItTI*, - - - Editor. OolumbuK. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 13.1H77 LARGEST CIRCULATION In tk I'.notle. o nnd Truilln* Hi I'olnmbu*. Gek. Sukuik an expresses tbe opinion that it is not diplomacy, but bad roads and tho other difficulties of moving huge armies and their equipments, that delay the Itusman advance in Europe. Hon. B. H. Him, made a rousing speech in favor of the Convention, in At lanta, on Saturday night, and Hon. Rob ert Toombs made one of his violent har angues on the same side on Monday night. - ■ About tho Ist of May Mr. Gather, or tho Aahvllie Mgis, assorted that cyclone would pass over sections of the West and South during the lat ter part of the month, and there was a probability of the greatest floods over known to the history of the country. He proved about correct. <———— Advices from Holland state that the vessels which have heretofore been engaged in the Baltic and Med iterranean grain trade in bringing from those ports rye and wheat, will hereafter bo used for trading with the United States, the Baltic and Mediterranean seas being closed by the Russian Turkish war. Wilson, who killed Swayze in Kansas, has been acquitted, and pub lic opinion out there says that lie was justifiable. The quarrel between him and Swayze sprang out of the Jatter’s abusive newspaper articles. He used to abuse the white people of Georgia with equal bitterness, and if he had been killed here for it, Radicalism all over the country would have howled witli rage and de nounced the act as a ku-klux outrage. 1)b. Bi-auvelt, to whose trial for heresy before the Synod of tho Re formed Church in New York city we alluded yesterday, was on Saturday found guilty and deposed. It is charged that lie denied the authen ticity of the Old Testament and questioned the authority of much of the Now. Dr. B. stated that he would have resigned long ago if that had been possible, but the rules of the church forbade it. A Washington letter says: “The inconvenience to the officers and en listed men of the army in the nb aenoe of an appropriation, will not, it now seems, be materially lessened by the recent offer of a Northern banking house to advance money to them. For tho accommodation proffered the officers and men would have to pay interest at the rate of about It per cent., and also pay for agents and contingencies. If they do not submit to this shave they will have no money for the next four months. A special from St. Louis, 10th, to the Cincinnati Enquirer reports the discovery of one of the most exten sive and formidable bands of horse thieves ever organized in tho West. It extended through Missouri and Illinois, tho leaders being distributed through those States. One, named Wm.Twedall, has made a confession. Some persons who had very good reputations are implicated ; and among them is a preacher named Lowe, who got up a revival meeting which his confederates attended to steal horses. Ho is one of the parties already arrested. The Chicago lnUr-(hvan says: “Seldom, if ever, have wo seen the summer ushered in on a duller and more unsatisfactory money market than exists at present. Business at the banks is utterly spiritless, and judging from indications, they are not earning expenses, much less dividends. A prominent banker re marked to-day that he never before saw the time when there was so little demand for money from those who had anything to give for it. If, how ever, money is plentiful and cheap, credit is not, bat on the contrary it is dear; in other words, hanks are more than usually cautious in regard to the character of the paper and secu rities taken. This caution is perfect ly natural, as the channels for em ploying money where it can be made proiltable to the iuvestor are so few that lenders want the most unques tionable assurance that the borrower is all right before his applications are regarded with favor.” A plainer mode of stating the above, with reference to its effects on business, is this: There is plenty of money, idle or invested in bonds, but comparatively little in circula tion, for the reason that securities formerly available for borrowing are 110 longer taken. The large amount of money thus kept out of circulation is valuless to business, and should not be taken into the account in de termining whether there is a suffi ciency of money in the country. What is needed is a restoration of confidence and a freer use of money. Will a forced resumption of specie payments bring this about, or will it not rather retard it ? A Chew Fertilized —First, gather any quantity of swamp muck into a pile to dry. Measure off six barrels of this (or any other rich, black earth) into another pile, and add the following salts, previously dissolved in a bairel or more of water: viz., forty pounds of nitrate of soda,' six ty pounds of sulphate of ammonia, and a half bushel of common salt. Then add a barrel.of ashes, a barrel of Plaster of Paris, and a barrel of ground bones. Mix all well togeth er, and use in the same mannpr as Peruvian guano.— Cottage Hearth.

Tho several Cotton Exchanges of the Southern States have made their reports for the month of May, They cover replies from quite u number of counties In each State—sulßcieut to give a pretty reliable estimate of comparative acreage, and the sum ming up Is tho averago of these replies. In all of the cotton-growing States, except North and South Carolina, an in crease varying from l to 8 per cent, over tho acreage of last year is re ported. In tho two exceptional States-neither of which can be class ed among the larger cotton-growing Slates—the decrease is very slight. Reports of condition are more va ried, but it Is of course too early yet to make any reliable calculation of probablo yield from present condi tions. Wo may remark, however, that planters havo seldom had a mero favorable spring for getting .their cotton crops entirely eloan nnd in excellent condition to derive most benefit from good seasons, if they should c.omc. These facts indicate the danger of a cotton crop too large for the good of the planters. We have seen that the crop of 1870 was too large, even when there was no war to afford a pretext for bearing the market. The probability of the succession of an other crop of four millions and a half of bales cannot, under these circum stances, be contemplated without ap prehension. There is, fortunately, good reason to believe that the food crops have also been increased, and this may alleviate the misfortunate of too large a cotton crop. It is at least a hopeful reflection that it will lessen the expense attending the making of an unprofitable cotton crop. THE OAI>VETON TIRE. The Galveston News of the nth brings full particulars of this great conflagration. Its origin is un known. It was first discovered by Mr. Gardon! of tbe New York restau rant, who was aroused from sleep by the light, of the tiro, and said that it originated between his kitchen and tins wash room of Dirmeyer’s saloon adjoining. Mr. Gardoni’s cook cor roborated this, and said that he never built a lire until morning. The buildings burnt were on tbe north side of Strand, south side of Strand between Centre and 22d streets, south side of Mechanic street, north side Mechanic street, north side Market street.

A now, novel and expanding com merce is being conducted on the southern Island cousts of this State to wit. the capture of sea lions. A few years ago there were several standing rewards for these animals, and it was a rare thing for one to be taken. Now the business has been reduced to a science by Capt. Mullett, who follows it for a profession, having a regular outfit of vessel, crew, and all the necessary appli ances to Insure success in It is under takings. The objective point of his chief operations is tho Channel Islands, from which he has carried off a large number of the amphibi ous brutes. A Santa Barbara paper relates that he returned ft otn an ex pedition thither a few days ago with no less than twenty-five of the liuits, among the number a female with her cub. This lucky “catch” is to fill an order from Europe. Thus, it will be seen that if our snowmen are com pelled to go abroad for forest deni zens to occupy their menagerie cages, the zoologists have got to come to us for their sea monsters; and the sup ply now promises, under the skilful manipulations of Capt. Mullett, to keep pace with tho demand.— San Francisco Call. How the Women Voted.— -Speaking of an election for School Trustees in Denver, Col., ou the 17th ult., the News of that city says: Three hundred and twenty-three votes were east by women, and some laughable incidents occurred during the day. The married ladies almost invariably gave their husband’s ini tials, and one of them wanted to vote for her husband, "who couldn’t come,” she said. Several ladies in giving their names added very earn estly that they didn't want to “go into the papers.” Only one vote was challenged-that of a young miss of eighteen, who knew she was old enough to marry and thought she was old enough to vote. Everything passed off pleasantly enough, but there was a little quiet indignation at the attempt to run in an opposition ticket by bidding for tho suffrage votes, and the women would have damaged their cause materially it they had suffered themselves to be led away captive by the scheme. Fortunately they did themselves the credit of voting according to then judgment— not their prejudices—and thus demonstrated the fact that they may be safely intrusted with the ballot.. “Tilitrn Is a Ham Clam." NewXork Tribune.) Mr. Hendricks has attached himself to that w ing of the Democratic party whose leading article of faith and cardinal doc trine that “Tilden is a dam clam.” This definition of Mr. Tilden grows out of the coldness of .that statesman toward the plan evolved by some of the inure fierce and hungry members of the party to take the Presidency by storm. The party is divided upon this issue, it being the only one that survived the campaign. Mr. Hendricks is understood to sympathize with the large and patriotic majority of the party that pronounces Tildena mol lust. (irowlh of the Xtanslnn Empire. F&n maU At the beginning of the reign of Ivan 111., the first autocratic ruler of Russia, iu the vear 1462. tho terri tory be governed comprised about 12.000 square miles. At bis death, in 15u5, the whole extent of his domin ions may be estimated to have inclu ded about 43,000 square miles. Under tho Czar Ivan IV, ("The Terrible’’) a considerable quantity of territory was annexed, including the districts inhabited by the Cossacks of the Don; so that at the time of bis death, in 1584, the Russian Empire may bo computed to have contained seventy-live thousand square miles. Theodore 1., who succeeded Ivan, acquired territory from the Swedes, and also pushed his conquests be yond the Ural Mountains; and at ids death, In 1598, the Russian sway ex tended over 130,000 square miles. During the troubled times which fol lowed Ids death some of the conquer ed provinces were again lost; but, on the other hand, a great part of Hi beria was added to the dominions of the Czar, und on the accession of Michael 1., in 1813, the extent of the Russian Empire may be taken at 156,000 square miles. Peter 1., by Ids numerous conquests, materially increased its extent, and at, ids death, in 1725, it comprised 282,454 square miles. During the reigus, of the Empresses Anna Ivanovna, Elizabeth and Catherine 11., large annexations were made, so that on the death of the latter, in 1796, tho Russian do minions extended over 352,472 square miles. The Emperor Paul I. added Georgia to his dominions. Alexan der 1. conquered Finland anil an nexed other territories, increasing the extent of the Russian Empire, be fore lie died in 1825, to 366,582 square miles; while Nicholas I. by the cam paigns or 1828 and 1829. secured to che van tho district of Ordubah, and the pashalio of Achalric, rising the total extent of ltu.-sian Empire to 367,112 square miles.

The Mloux in British America. From time to time since the troubles between the United States auttiorities und Indians have been going on, we have expressed our be lief that the complications on the other side the lines would be likely to place us in the positiou of having to control a number of tli hostile Indians whom the exigencies of their case and their own rebellious con duct had driven across the lines. Several small bands eatrio across a short time ago, while others, emis saries of Sitting Bull, came over and threatened our own peaceful Indi ans if they would not go over and help them in their conflict with the Americans. Wo liud from Fort Walsti advices that early in March Major Walsh came across a camp of the Yankton In dians about 120 miles west of the fort. He found the head chief of the Tetons and 57 lodges crossing the line und making a camp three quar ters of a mile north of tire line and close to the Yankton camp. He at once put himself in communication with the Teton and Yankton chiefs, and a council was held, at which he was informed that the Indians had been told by their fathers they would find peace in the land of the British. They had not slept sound for years, and were anxious to find a place where they could lie down and feel safe. They were tired or living in such disturbed state. Being asked as to their ultimate iuteutions, they affirmed that they had no idea of of recrossing the lines to make war, and said they would obey tbe law in this regard. This particularly re fers to the Tetons. As t.o the Yank tons, tho whole of their bauds not having arrived, they could not an swer until after a council had been held, but it is believed they would return to their agency on the other side of Fort Peck. The 'retons claim that the Sioux are British Indians; that sixty-five years ago was the first, they ever knew of being under the Americans. Their fathers were told at, that time by a chief of the British fathers that if they did not want to live under the Americans, they could go further north into British territory again. They could not tell why the British gave them and their lands to the Ameri cans. From children they had been taught that they were British. They had in their camp medals given their fathers by the British for lighting the Americans, with whom they had never made peace. The presence of so considerable a body of “host,iies” among us is certainly cal culated to inspire uneasiness, but Major Walsh believes that the chiefs and old men will do their best to keep in their places those who may be of a restless temperament, and it is more than possible that, like the Minnesota Sioux who took up their abode with us, they may become as quiet as any of the rest of our wards. Although we may not desire their advent, it is likely we shall have to make tho best we can out of It.— Montreal Herald. - ♦ Andrew Jackson Davis says that on January 15, 1877, he had “a telescopic chairvuyant view” of the planet Jupiter, aml was able to observe the inhabitants. He adds:"My attention was suddenly attract ed to a massive assemblage of men, wo men, and children, walking about beneath a bright sky, and performing peculiar acts; the majority of the host walking in an inclined position, and very many of them actually using their hands also iu accomplishing locomotion. And yet com pared with the bodily appearances of many tribes on earth, their physical forms were exceedingly handsome, and their in telligenee was quite spiritual and com manding.” He was informed—ho does not tell how —that these people were en gaged in a religious ceremony. Mourner Turk l’aekitig. The past week shows a considera ble increase in receipts of hogs at Western packing points compared with the preceding two weeks. This has been looked for, although it was not generally expected that the liberal movement ot a year ago would be exceeded. At Cnicago the receipts for the week ending Tuesday evening were 84,265, against 71,577 last year, and yesterday’s estimated receipts amounted to 15,500. Last year the June receipts at Chicago averaged upward of 84,090 per week. The current production of meats is about 12,000,000 pounds per vveek, which probably equals both the ex port movement and domestic con sumption, and as a result the market is increasingly depressed, reaching the lowest point of the season, with a lessening of confidence on part of holders as the downward movement progresses. The current production of lard is about 2,800,000 pounds per week, which is largely short of the foreign movement of this article. Last year, subsequent to this date, the export movement of lard showed an average of about 4,- 280,000 lbs per week, to the Ist of November. The total number of hogs packed iu the West last season to Ist November, subsequent to this period iu the seasou, was about 1,- 530,000 head, or about 73,000 head per week.

TO AVOID II If DHOI* II 081 A. HOW r.ABII) DOOS MAT BKTOLD-PIIEVEN TION OF THE DISEASE. To the Editor of the N. Y. World: Sib: There is a pamphlet upon hydrophobia, the means of uvoiding its perils and preventing its spread, translated from tbe French of H. M. Bouley by Prof. A. Liautard, princi pal surgeon Of the American Veteri nary College of New York, which should be in the hands of every one. Some of its sentences should be printed in huge letters and posted everywhere, so that he who runs may read. The uut hor says: People generally imagine that when a dog is “mad” his disease is immediately characterized by furious manifestations and frantic move ments. This is a false idea. Often quite the reverse takes place. An affectionate dog will not become ferocious and estranged iu a single day ; it is by slow degrees that the transition comes. But even in that first period, from the moment that the first symptoms of hydrophobia show themselves, the saliva of the animal is virulent. Beware of a dog which begins to be sick. All sick dogs, as a principle, must be suspect ed. Beware especially of one that is sad, morose and seeks for solitude; one that does not know where to rest; one that goes and comes, rambles about, snaps and barks with out reason, whose looks are dull and gloomy, and whose bright expression is lost. Beware of the dog that looks about and attacks imagi nary phantoms. Beware of oue that is suddenly too affectionate, asking for your caresses by his pitiful and repeated cravings. The mad dog is not of ne cessity hydrophobic. He is not afraid of water, and he will BOt run away if one offers him a drink. He will drink it as long as he is able to swal low. Rabid dogs have been known to swim across rivers. The bark of a mad dog is thoroughly characteris tic, Instead of the normal and suc cessive barks, it is hoarse, tower in tone, prolonged and not so strong. After the first bark, made at full strength, a series of five six, seven or eight other immediately succeeds, lower in streugth and thrown out from the throat. The bravest und strongest dog will in the presence of a mad dog show cowardice, and in stead of attempting to tight with him will trv to escape. The rabid dog is always violently impressed and irritated by the sight of animals of its own species. It is generally believed that the mad dog salivates abundantly—that he froths at the month. This is a serious error. The salivary secretion is Increased in hy drophobia only when the disease is at its paroxysms. The cat may be come rabid, but. fortunately seldom, for the rabid eat is more terrible and dangerous than the dog. The rabid cat knows its master no longer. It aims its blow at the face. The dan ger from mad dogs in the winter is about the same as in the heat of sum mer. In the spring, cases are more frequent, and in the autumn, least frequent. Sensitiveness to pain is greatly diminished in the mad dog. When whipped, burned or wounded, he does not cry or utter any com plaint, The mad dog runs' away from home, but, after two or three days’ absence, he returns to die near his master. The surest way of pre venting the effects of rabid inoculation from the bite of a mad dog is the immediate cauterization of the wound with the cauteral artery or with burning gunpowder or some other caustic agent. If the cauterization cannot be done immediately after t he bite, one must, white waiting, wash the wound, press it thoroughly to squeeze tiie blood out, suck it with the lips, (spitting out the blood im mediately). compress the edges of the wound, and, if possible, apply a liga ture about the limb to arrest the cir culation of blood. It is to be hoped that these few ex tracts from this useful work may bring forth good fruit. Axe. Judge Jerry Black is reported to have prepared a long article for a leading monthly magazine on the Electoral Com mission, which will make a decided sen sation when published. It is said to re flect very severely on the Associate Jus tices who voted in Hayes. Associate Jus tice Field was called to Black’s home, at York, Penn., last week to listen to tiie ar ticle and make suggestions. —Cincinnati Enquirer. SEI.UXIi A WIFE 14U IHtIMiM A Romance of CnnnMlnat Life Over In the State of New Jemy. Thomas Gilligan, a jovial young canal boatman familiarly known in Jersey City as “Tommy Dodd,” some years ago be came attached to a comely young woman near Phillipsburg. She liked to drink, and one day Gillingan plied her with li quor, and on the next morning showed her a marriage certificate signed by a Rockaway Justice of the Peace, wherein their marriage was duly set forth. “I don’t remember anything about it,” she said; "I was drunk, 1 confess, but if you say so, Tommy, it is all right.” They lived to gether four years, during which time two children were born, but Gilligan’s acts of cruelly compelled her to seek advice and sympathy elsewhere. In die heart of Jacob Meyers, a fellow canaljboatman, Mrs. Gitligan found a responsive chord, and she conceived a strong attachment for him. Gilligan noticed it, and said: “A treat for all hands around, Jake, and she is yours.” He jumped at the propo sition, and after spending $1.60 for drinks Jacob claimed Mrs. Gilligan as his own. Ever since Gilligan seems to have repent ed of his bargain, and has made overtures to regain his wife, but failed. On Monday last Gilligan went to the boat on which Jacob is at work, and de manded his wife. Jacob knocked him down, and laid open his scalp with a piece of coal. Gilligan had Meyers ar rested, and when arraigned before Police Justice Davis in Jersey City yesterday, the story was developed. Justice Davis fined Meyers $lO, and sent him to jail for thirty days. Mrs. Gilli gan says that she is happy with Meyers, and will not desert him. Tiie la nit of Mldiau. Capt. Burton has found gold and precious stones in the land of Midian of Midian. At the request of the Khedive he explored the desolate region boring upon the easternmost of the two long and narrow estuaries in which the Red Sea ends. Aecotn- B anied by a French engineer, Capt. urton lauded in Midian on April 2 and explored a region full of ruined towns, Duilt of solid masonry, with made roads, aqueducts five miles long, artificial lakes and massive for tresses. He reports the existence of gold, silver, tin, antimony, and tor quoise mines. The auriferous region is extensive; indeed, the discoverer believes be has opened up a Califor ais, and the Khedive proposes to have the country worked by Euro pean capitalists. In the Bible Mtdlan is described as a land full of metals, especially gold, silver, and lead, The Spectator considers it more than probtible that Solomon's Ophir was situated there, as the small ships In whioh he imported gold, Ivory, and peacocks were launched at the head of the Red sea.
