Yesterday a storm extended from
the lakes to the Ohio river, and at
last accounts had reached Columbus,
Ohio. But few fatalities are report

The Plot to Blow Up the Snez Canal.
London, June 26. — A speoial from
Alexandria, Egypt, says the report
recently published of a conspiracy to
blow up the Suez Canal was based on
authentic information.
The Khedive is taking effective
measures to prevent such an attempt
on land, while a sea-police is being

ENGLISH CONSULATE DESTROYED.
London, June 26.— The Standard
has the following from Vienna :
It is supposed the Czar will leave
Bucharest for Alexandria, to be pres
ent at the crossing thereabouts,which
is expected either Tuesday or Thurs
day.
A fearful contest is expected at
Rustchuk.
Eight hundred cases of typhoid are
in the Russian hospitals.
Constantinople, June 26.—1 t is re
ported that the English consulate at
Rustchuk has been entirely destroyed
by the bombardment.
London, June 26.—The Pout's Bu
charest special says: The corps now
entering the Dobrudseha is ordered
to advance quickly up to the line of
the Czernavoda and Kustendj.* i ail
way. After their arrival, the right
wing of the centre army will force a
passage higher up the stream.
The Daily News’ dispatch from
Rustchuk, Sunday night, says: The
bombardment of this town by the
Russians is terrible. The Turks
stand the tire with great coolness.
They reply vigorously and with good
aim. Shells have fallen in town and
killed two prisoners; several non
combatauts killed and wounded.
Shots have struck the German, Eng
lish and Belgium consulates. Shells
have burst near the Hospital, but tbe
Russian fire seems directed to ttie
centre of the town.
The Daily News’ special from Ib
rail reports that the Turks have re
treated towards Medidje, on the line
of the Kustendje railroad.
The whole north end of the Dob
rudschais abandoned. It is not like
ly that they will make a stand this
side of Silistria.
The 11th corps, under Gen. Zim
merrnann, will cross the river as rap
idly as possible, and will be joined
by the 4th corps, now in the direc
tion of Reni, and will march South
with the greatest despatch. It is
not known yet whether this army
will form a column of advance be
tween Varna and Stiumla. It seems
probable that to these two corps will
fall the duty of reducing Silistria
and perhaps Shumla.
It is further likely another passage
of the Danube will be attempted
somewhere between Guergevo and
Turni-Magruelli, within the next
few days, without awaiting General
Zimmermann’s advance, which can
not be available to the Turks’ posi
tion about, Rustchuk, under three
weeks.
London, June 26. -A special dis
patch from Vienna to tbe Times has
the following: In Constantinople
tbe agitation against Redif Pasha,
Minister of War, and all the military
authorities is on the increase. The
success in Montenegro, so far from
calming the excitement, has rather
increased it, it being deemed down
right folly, almost treason, that in
order to gain success at a. compara
tively trifling point, the important
theatre of war in Asia should have
been so willfully neglected.
The Turkish losses in Montenegro
during the recent engagements were
10,000.
Rustchuk, June 26. —The bombard
ment of this place continued all yes
terday. English agents report that
the English consulate, which had a
large Union Jack floating, seems to
have been singled out for a concen
trated force, and was completely de
stroyed.

New York, June 26. —President
Hayes and party arrived to-night on
their way to Boston. He was ac
companied by Secretary Evarts and
Schurz, Attorney General Devens

Baltimore, vice Archbishop Bailey,
calls for some explanation. For some
mouths Archbishop Bailey lias been
in exceedingly bad health and threat
ened with softening of the brain,
which is now said to have supervened
and hopelessly incapacitated him for
further active service in the church.
In February, Bishop Bailey went to
Europe for the recovery of his health,
but his malady developed so rapidly
that on his arrival there it was found
necessary to convey him to Trnppist
monastery, iu the north of France,
where he now remains.

A horrible plot to blow up steam
ships with dynamite- the mayor
TO CALL OUT THE MILITARY IF
NECESSARY.
j;y Telegraph to the Daily Nation.]
Montreal, Canada, June 22. A
j horrible plot lias been revealed
to-day. Several reckless ship labor
ers, maddened with drink, yesterday
went to a number of powder dealers
and endeavored to. purchase several
cases of dynamite, offering to pay
cash. The dealers refused to sell it
unless they brought orders from
responsible parties. It was discoved
this afternoon that there was a de
sign to blow up the steamships,
whose agents had refused to pay the
wages demanded. Sir Hugh Alien,
Mr. Camp, the mayor, chief of police
and city attorney, had a consultation
this evening in regard to turning out
the military. Arrangements were
made to read the riot act and turn
them out in case of necessity. Mr.
Magnaut, a labor agent, and a friend,
while returning through St. Surplice
street this afternoon from taking a
gang to work on the the steamer Pe
ruvian, were set upon and nearly
killed, O’Neil, the ringleader, was
arrested. Great excitement prevails.
The police are under arms.

What an illustrious company would
have to be turned out of our summer
hotels if the Jews were not admitted !
The great lawgiver, Moses, could not
have a room, even ir returning from
the study of the wisdom of the Egyp
tians he sought shelter. The immor
tal poet, Isaiah, would not be esteem
ed suiatble company, and would be
obliged to seek a less aristocratic
tavern. King Solomon, whoso words
of wisdom will instruct the world for
thousands of years, would have to
take uj> his lodging in a second-class
house. King David, over whose songs
the whole Cnristan world lingers,
would not be allowed by the gentle
man-like clerk to enter his sacred
name ou the hotel register. St.
Paul, who laid the foundations of
modern theology, was a man of an
appearance so poor and mean, bar
ring bis being a Jew, that no model
hotel would think of admitting him.
St. John was so rapt in his visions of
heavenly scenes that the hotel clerk
would indubitately have sent for a
police officer to carry him off if he
had appeared at the desk seeking a
suitable room, while tbe exclusive
patrons of the hotel would at once
have packed up their baggage if the
idea of the admittance had for a mo
ment been entertained. Spionza,
Neaxder, Mendelssohn, David, Ku
benstein,and|bosts of others conspic
uous in letters and arts would have
to depart amid the sneers of the ex
clusive guests. Disraeli, the Earl of
Beaconsfield, the Prime Minister of
England, could not enter there, for
he is a Jew, aDd bears in his linea
ments the unmistakable mark of his
descent. The hotel clerk would de
tect him at once, and see the damage
his presence in the mode house would
do.

The Convention is now an assured
fact, and hence the discussion of
questions hitherto inexpedient or of
doubtful policy may now bo entered
upou. We are not of those who have
seeu lit. during the campaign to
argue, magnify, and Pi ing into prom
inence questions upon which the
people were divided. Our theory
was first to get the Convention, and
then leave tho discussion of iiues
tions to be considered by it until af
ter it was an assured fact. That time
has now come, the people have
spoken, and now it is in order for the
press representing tho feelings of its
patrons to proceed to put forth a re
flex of their opinions on important
subjects.
One of tho questions which will
! come before that Convention will bo
i tile removal of the capital; indeed, it
lias well nigh, if not in fact, been an
I issue in the campaign. We are de
jcidedly of the opiuion, and believe
j we reflect the sentiment of our peo
j pie when we say that the capital
ought to be returned to MilledgeviUo.
We are not one of those who light
Atlanta because it is Atlauta. aud
I stigmatize it ns the fountain source
|of all evil. Wo like Atlanta; she has
! many clever people within Her
I borders; she is a part of Georgia, aud
j for her energy, push and vim wo nd
j mire tier, and as a Georgian wi are
proud of her. Hence, wuat we may
; say in support of our theory tnat the
capital ought to be removed to Mil
ledgeville shall bo in a spirit of ut
most fairness to our present capital
city.
But thi3 question of the capital re
moval is not. one that should be in
fluenced by local causes. No mere
question of sentiment, or mere theo
ry of fitness on account of ttiisorthat
minor matter should influence this
question. There should be but one
ooject, and that object should be the
good of the State of Georgia and the
welfare of the people who make the
State of Georgia and pay the taxes to
support its government. If this
convention is intended to do any
thing at all, it is intended to cut
dowu the expenses of running the
government machine, and to such a
reforming of every department
as shall give to the people a
more economical aud inexpen
sive, even if it is a more
plebeian form of government.
We claim that this can be done
easier in Milledgeville than in Atlan
ta. It is less expensive to live there,
and even if it is less elegant, our
State officials must be content to live
wherever the people they serve see
lit to put them. In Atlanta we have
a capitol building that has to be
barred to the public on any exciting
occasion lest the rush of the multi
tude should crush it to the earth. In
Milledgeville we have a capitol emi
nently fitted and suited to tho pur
poses for which it was built. Ridicule
it as they may, “the hails of our fa
thers” is a building the like of which
Atlanta cannot show. In Milledge
vilia we have a Governor’s mansion
fit for tlie occupancy of our Chief
Magistrate. In Atlanta wo have
a cottage, completely overshad
owed by Mr. John H. James’palatial
residence, and which lias to be
repaired regularly every winter.
Here, too,is located the penitentiary,
the asylum, and all the machinery
of tlie government, all right here in
easy reach of the capitol, where it
can be overlooked by the represen
tatives of the people without any
long and expensive trips to and fro.
Then, again, the temperature of At
lanta at the season of the year when
lim Legislature is hold is one that
almost invariably produces sickness
among the members from the more
southern portion of tlie State, while
Milledgeville is free from this and
has none of these draw bunks to en
counter. To sum up tlie whole mat
ter in one line, whether there is any
other reason or not, tho people of
Georgia want it moved back and
t his is enough. It ought to be done.

Tlie Fall Election*.
The first election to be held during die
present year will be that of Kentucky.
August 6. A Governor and a Legislature
are to he elected, and the Legislature
will choose a United States Senator in
place of Thos. (J. McCreery, whose term
expires in 1879. Vermont will vote lor
State officers September 4; Maine will
elect State officers September it); and it
is possible that a secret warfare, if not an
open one, between the Hayes and Blaine
factions of the Republician party may
bring about some strange developernents.
in September 6, California will elect a
Governor. In 1875 Irwin (Democrat)
was elected Governor by a majority of
485 over both the Republican aud Inde
pendent candidates.
Tlie Legislature to he elected will
choose a United States Senator in place
of Aaron A. Sargent (Republican), whose
term expires in 1879. In tlie present
Legislature the Democratic majority on
joint ballot is 54. It is safe to say that a
Democrat will succeed Sargent. The
lowa and Ohio elections occur October 9.
Both States elect State officers, and in
Ohio tbe Legislature to be elected will
choose a United States Senator in place of
Stanley Matthews (successor to John
Sherman), whose terms expires in 1879.
The November elections are those of
Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, nil
of which occur November 0.

ances ou the losses by the St. Johns’
fire, are, so far as heard from, as fol

cantile held risks of $600,000, and
their supposed loss is from $900,000

THE TERRIBLE CONDITION OF JOURNAL
ISTS AND AUTHORS.
When brain work is not tlie noblest
of all tbe professions, it is the vilest
of all the trades. Despair, envy,
hatred, destitution, vioe amt madness
are at an end, sometimes in the mid
dle of this contemptible career, in
which money is tho only aim, iu
which debauch beeomesan incentive,
and drunkenness a muse.
Look at that miserable young fel
low, over there, with his contorted
features, yellow cheeks, grimacing
mouth, and vagabond eyes, lit) wus
born to walk free aud joyful behind
a plow, and proudly to sow the seed
of the next harvest. In the evening,
at the farmer’s fire-place, he would
have eaten tho bread lie had earned
during tho day. Every step, every
movement of his would have vivified
something. And now look at him iu
this vast city, pressing day aud night
iiis poor head between his two hands
to squeeze out of it tales and adven
tures for a hungry crowd, who de
vour him to-day and take to some
body else to-morrow, if nothing
more can be got out of him.
For a more or less extended period
of time he will make Henriettes mar
ry Authurs, will some husbands
catch lovers, will poison some of
them, and send others to the guillo
tine, keepiug, of course, tho sensa
tional interest duly alive till tho end
jof the chapter or tlie fuilleton. Ho
will sell everything in succession;
love, jealousy, tears, history, scandal,
slang, satire, morals, laudation, in
sults, polities, sentiment, obscenity,
religion -iu a word, everything out
of which manuscript can be made, at
from two to live cents a line, accord
ing to the momentary taste of the
public or the tendencies of this or
that journal. When ho shall have
eaten up his own contents, he will
live upon the contents of others. He
will patch up old comrnedies and
novels; warm up the arrus of past
centuries, lie will swallow whole
libraries and second-hand book
shops. He wants ideas, anecdotes,
witty sayings, pleasure, money, and
notoriety. No time to be lost now!
He must get celebrity. Once cele
brated, lie is quoted. Once quoted,
he is rich. The journal goes to press,
the theatre canuot wait, and there is
no time left to get up anything.
What does it matter y Two or three
men of us will put ourselves together
and spend nights at work. And the
bodily force, where is it to come
from? We will take strong black
coffee. And the inspiration? We
will take absinthe.
Go on, human brains! Throw out
sentences, lines, pages, and volumes!
Swell yourself like a sponge and
squeeze yourself like a lemon, till
you dry out and out, till lunacy and
paralysis take possession of you,
till besottedness strikes you, and
death comes to finish tho whole.
Meanwhile, we will enter the home
of this celebrity. What we find there
is disorder and indigence; an old
mistress, of whom lie made his wife
iu a moment of lvrism or exhaustion ;
some unhappy children already dres
sed in black and crying, without
much knowing what about. The air
of the room is still full of yesterday’s
tobacco smoke. He liked smoking
so much, poor fellow! He was often
told that smoking was bad for him,
but he was unable to give it up. Oh,
what jollv davs had been spent in
this room at the time of the little so
and-so!”
A number of friends escort him to
the cemetery ; nossibly a sight seeing
or sympathetic crowd will join them,
for the deceased was much liked.
He used to be so jolly at times! A
lot of anecdotes are told of him;
speeches are delivered ovor his grave;
a flat tombstono is placed on hi*
nose; the friends return to the city
to take a bite ; some obituary notices
are gotten up at once; for two or
three days the journalists iive on
him ; a subscription is started for a
monument; the government is in
formed of the sad occurrence; a pen
sion is obtained for the widow and a
scholarship for one of the children;
and all this done, tlie surviving
friends rush to resume the very same
frenzied life which killed him. Fare
well ! thou great man of a year, a
month or a day. Quiet be thy sleep,
now that eternal night has come.
It is info this pandemonium, into
tins penitentiary, into these sowers
that, thousands of young men rusti,
with a good-natured, frank smile on
their lips, believihg that they will
meet there fortune and reputation as
easily us one meets a cart on the
highroad. They would not stick to
ordinary labor, obscure and requir
ing patience, but certain in its resnlts
and sure to make a man robust,
serene respected, useful and good.
I have gone myself through these
horrible swamps in the beginning of
my career. I come out shivering and
pale, terrified by wliat I had seen.
Aud I become still terrified when
now and then I have to go hack there
to shake tho tiand of an old comrade,
or to take tiis body and carryitto
a place of rest, I would have been
dead long ago if I had remained
there. Blessed bo tho Lord of tile
destinies of the universe, for his hav
iug shown mo tho way to get out,
and for having commuted my sen
tence. No, Dante, whoso name is
invariably invoked when people
invariable speak of abominable tor
tures, could not have dreamed of this
dammed production of intellect,
which rolls its own head as Sisyphus
rolled his stouo and knocks it against
iton walls to get out of it a last little
spark. Alexander Dumas.
The Merchants’ Hank of Montreal,
Special to tbe World.]
Montreal, June 22.— The annual
report or the Merchants’ Bank, is
sued to-day by the new general man
ager in advance of the annual meet
ing, shows a loss on capital by debts
of twenty-live per cent,., and shares
are to be reduced that amount,. The
detailed result of the examination by
Mr. Hague and the committee has
been appointed to write off $633,000
bad debts, $533,000 losses or securi
ties of doubtful character, $198,704
losses by the New York branches,
and $223,991 expenses attending tho
operations of the Quebec goverment
al loan to date. While these amounts
are large, it is thought they are not
all entirely irrecoverable. The cap-1
ital, when reduced, will then be
over $6,000,000, and the hank will
still be the second largest in the Do
minion. Great confidence is ex
pressed in tho stability and opera
tions of the bank and its ability to
earn future dividends. Sir Hugh Al
la i resigned the chairmanship a
short time since.
Till* Fill lire 111 I lie West.
A gentleman who has spent many
years in the Western Territories, lias
travelled extensively in all of them,
aud is thoroughly familiar with tlieir
topography and resources, gives tlie
following estimate of the maximum
population they are likely to attain
aud support:
Colorado 200,(100 Now M0x100.... 1715.000
Wyoming 1(0,01(0 Washington.... 150 uoo
Dakota 176,000 Nevada 73,000
Montana 200.0(H)
Idaho 125.000| Total... .1,400,000
j Utah 200,000 |
He adds Nevada aud Colorado to
' tho list because they are Suites only
' in form of government,and resemble
the teritories iu tne poverty of soil
1 and incapacity for much further do
i velopmeut. This estimate, if cor
rect—aud it is sustained by the best
information that comes from army
officers and scientific travelers—has
an important bearing upon many in
teresting publiequestions. The time
is at hand when there will be no vsst
arcus of fertile land tempting tlie
emigrant to the West. Even now
the limit of profitable agricultural
settlement in Western Nebraska and
Kansas has been reached. Beyond
stretoh vast plains available for
grazing purposes only where water
can be obtained. Further west
comes the region of mountains and
table lands, where 110 rain falls, aud
i where agriculture is only practicable
along the banks of rivers or in a few
localities where water can be obtain
ed lor irrigation from tho streams
formed by the melting snows ou tbe
mountains. These localities are rare
because the mountain peaks aud
chains are for the most part bare of
snow in summer. West of the Rocky
Mountains and their lateral ranges,
the sage-brush desert, utterly worth
less for culture, extends to the
Sierras. Washington Territory has
different characteristics from tlie
elevated rainless interior region, but
timber is its chief resource, and
farming is confined to a few valleys.
The section of country described
has an area greater than that of all
tho States east of the Mississippi
river, but its population a century
hence will probably uot equal that of
Massachusetts to-day. Each territo
ry, by making the most of its mining
and farming resources, may acquire
population sufficient to entitle it to
admission as a State, but not one is
likely to ever iiave more than a sin
gle member of Congress. Except in
the Senate the relative power of the
East and the West will not there
fore be much changed in the future.
There will bo few’ more new States
erected iu the present generation.
Colorado was only admitted after a
long light. Nevada ought to be set
back into a Territorial condition.
Her population is less than 50,000,
and it is uot to be expected that she
will ever have as many inhabitants
as in the old States are requisite to
form a Congressional district.
The influence which the cessation
of the movement of population West
may have upon the social, industrial
and political phases of our national
life opens a wide field for thought
and discussion. Looked at iu one
way it will bo an evil day when
there is no more virgin soil
awaiting the ploughshare of the
farmer, no new towns springing up
and inviting the enterprise of the
young men of the East, no region
for tlie restless and unfortunate to
flee to with the hope of bettering
their condition. But there is anoth
er view to take, and it will probably
be the view taken by tho social scien
tist. It is that high civilization is
inconsistent with sparse settlement,
and that culture, wealth and happi
ness will rather increase than dimin
ish when the population of tho whole
country is much more dense than at
present, and the vacant spaces are
tilled up that have been skipped in
the rush to the West.— Cor, New York
Tribune.

Hair Vigor ,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always, 1
cured by its use. Nothing can re-'
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or tho glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.'
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a f
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cam
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
