THE TUKEATEXEB 1IEOIBA. The Mormons threaten to make anothtr Kodus in case the prortecutions against them for polygamy are prewed by the Gentile Courts. Thevuestion arises, where would the next Mormon rest be? Utah is as isolated as any spot between the Atlantic and Pacific, aad the Saints would be comjiclled to flee to the islands of the Pacific. That would be the best possible move they could make, and it U hoped they will put a big sheet of water be tween themselves andlheGentilts, unlex.- the Mormon enigma can be solved in some other way. A!t CBPBUVBICEU MTATEHEST. The Ku-Klux suppression movement, says a cotempory, in South Carolina, according to the local pajiers of that State, differs very materially from the reports of it published under glaring headlines in the Democratic papers of the country. The widespread com motion that lias been occasioned, is almost entirely anions the lawless fraternity, and the hundreds that have fled the State or are hiding in its inonrtain-, are thoe who either were engaged in Ku-Klux raid, or were privy to them. The government lias dctcr aained to put an end to the disorders, and to araah out the insurrectionary klan, utterly and finally. To this end it will use, if ncc- eamry, extreme measures. If some wrong and injustice shall grow out of thegoern- menl'e proceeding, as is almost inevitable, the people will have the klans alone to blame for it. The foolish attempts at secrecy have unfortunately and- perplexingly involved alike the innocent and guilty. THE V1VIE MEBVICE BEFOBB. The civil service commissioner) hope to be able to Isy before the President during the present week an outline of the rules and rcg' illations by which they projiose to reform the civil service of the government. The four leading principle of their scheme may be briefly stated to be, first, admission to the civil service at the lowest lioint, with com petitive examination at every grade; second, probation; third, promotion; fourth, no fixed tenure, the power of removal being left prac tically undisturbed, and the advantages of flexibility and direct responsibility which are dauaed for the present system retained, Very much still remains .'or the commission to do in the perfection of details and organi zation of the new moJs of appointment and twice which they hope to introduce, but they have substantially agreed on the above fundamental doctrines, which, firmly estab lished, will go far to mark out the work of the future. It is not intended to include all of the government offices without dis criniination in this revised system, but the great macs of the patronage and office, which bow forms so prolific a source of evil and corruption will be entirely within the field Of its operation.

A BfMlsM Hankasd MmIi IlliuM-ir at the Beat Bed srHln ire. From the 'JUuajUlf Couriir.J The citizens of this community were great ly snoikfd at an early hour yesterday eien ing by the intelligence of the death of Ch i. II. Durban and wire, which had jusl laken place at the residence of Judge Evans, in the Sixth Ward, under the most painful cir cumstances the one dying from the tfiVcts of a pistol ball in his bead, fired by his own hand, while tne wife lay dying in the same room, of consumption, and expiring ten minutes after her husband had gone into eternity. That our citizens were startled by the announcement of so tragic an occurrence would but faintly express Hie feeling ol saJne-u and horror at the event, anil of the sympathy for the jiarents, relatives, and friend of the deceased. The circumstances of this painful occurrence, as near as we tin gather them areas follows: Mr. Charles II. Durban, son of our well known citier, Thomas Durliau, Esq a young man about 'i years of age, a jirjclic ing attorney, office in the Athenaeum build ing, was mairied last spring to Miss Lucy Seaman. After marriage, owing to the foil ing health of Mrs. Durban, they resided at Judge Evans'. The disease with which she was afflicted was that of consumption of the luns. Mr. Durban, from the testimony of all, was1 the most devoted ol Iitubinus, kind generous, and noble-hearted. Dr. Hall was-the- attending uhycician of Mrs. Durlun during her illness. She continued to grow worse, and as the jirospect of her noivtry faded away Mr. Durban grew sad and gloomy. Dr. Ball visited Mrs. Durban yes terday morning, and found that she could not longurvive,a few days at the most. In the evening he was sent for again, ami ar rived at the bnWide of the suflerer at ten minutes before G o'clock. Mrs. Durlun wished to take some medicine, morphine and chloroform, jirescribed by the doctor when she wa restless and could not steeji. Her husband asked the docter almut giving it, and exressed himself as if fearing the desire for the dative might increase. The doctor rtquested him to give her the medi cine, which he did, at the same time seeming very nervous and excited. He walked nr lially around the room with his hands in t'n pockets and finally stopped at the foot of the bed. The remedy did not seem to produce relief, bhe was then breathing very bird The doctor then gave her some valerianate of ammonia. Mr Durban, still standing at the foot of the bed, seemed to be suffering intensely. He said to the physician, "Doc tor, for God's sake, can't you give Lucy (his wife) something to relieve her?" The doctor told him to wait, tint the remeJy had not had time to act. As the difficulty of breath ing seemed to increase, the doctor told Mr. Durban to bring somef unslaked lime, that she might inhale it while being slaked. He did so, and attempted to hold it to her face, but seemed unable, from nervonsness. She then took a severe fit of coughing, when the doctor took his place, and Mr. Durban jum cd to the foot of the bed, saying as he did o, "Doctor, can't you do anything more for her: she is dying The doctor found that she would suffocate if her position in the bed was not changed, and with the help of her mother and Mrs. Evans was trying to change her K sition, when a report rang out which filled the room with the sound. The doctor, glanc ing up, noticed Mr. Durban staggering, and supposing that he might have accidently shot himself, rushed to him and laid him on the floor. He did not breathe, seemingly, after the shot. His wife seemed fully conscious of what had laken place; said she was sorry, but couldn't cry. She tried to speak again, but the words were not understood, when she breathed her last, there being from five to ten minutes in the time between their death'. The ball took effect in the right temple, a little above and back of the eye. In li'n pocket was found a letter addressed to his wife, saying that he could not live without her, and if he died first that.be would meet her in Paradise. There were letters also to his parents, and a note requesting that no coroner's inquest beheld upon his body; that it was a matter between himself and bis God. A Beaaaa-asae'a Appeal. We wish we could more charitably charac terise the address of Gen. Blair at Montgom ery, which we publish this morning. He depicts the Chicago disaster, the hundreds of plunderers that flocked thither, and ihe nation's benificence to the sufferers. Then lie sketches the miseries of the South during and in consequence of the war, and tells his auditors that no such benificence was enlisted by her unhappincus, while theroguesswarm ed to rob her of the little left to her. This stroke accomplished the speaker's object, by capturing his hearers, to whom such a paral lei implied everything they could wish in a (olitical champion, and all the more so be cause it ignored that the South herself caused the war, that it cursed the whole land, that the nation furnished the victims, that North ern homes were desolated and Northern for tunes wrecked in the struggle, and that the nation's benificence was exerted both during and after the war to assuage its horrors even in the South. General Blair slanders his countrymen and falsifies history to win Southern approval. He then opposes, as a politician who is a Southern favorite should, the advice of Wade Hampton and others, that the Southern Democrats ought not to go into the National Democratic Con vention, and his arguments herein are sound. The South ought to go in. He again rrifcts for himself the new departure, but is willing to take all the votes it can bring. He prelen a Kepublican nominee he says for his party, but is against "the jassive policy." His view is that the Democratic convention should name the "Republican" and in this does our Bliir show his usual cunning; for onlv thus could such a candidate hope for anything like an effective Democratic sujiport. Next does the General wax magnanimous to the citizens of foreign birth, predicting that ther will cast some half a million of votes for his nominee. Schurz commands the pro- foucdest homage of Blair, and is pictured as holding the German vote in the hollow of his hand, to be given to tne vemocrauc candi date. That immaculate personage proclaims himself an incorruptible Kepublican, and Blair embraces him an nuimpeachable Democrat. louii Democrat. m psjcwoaaesut ar the Horthera Fire. From Uie bmn Bay AdTocaU. There are some phases of the great calamity which fell upon this region last week worthy of scientific investigation. The testimony of the cooler headed survivors of the fires at Pishthro. the Sugar Bush, and WiUiamson- ville is united as lo one phenomena: They say that the fire did not come upon them mduallv from burning trees and other ob jects to the windward, but list first notice they had ol u was a wniriwwa oi name, in great clouds, from aoove in tops oi we irem, which fell uuon and enveloped everything. The atmosphere seemed one of fire. The poor people inhaled it, or the intensely hot air, and fell down dead. This is verified by the appearance ol many oi ine corpses, a ney m found dead in the roads and open spaces, where there were no visible marks of fire nearby, with not a trace of burning upon their bodies or clothing. At the Sugar Bush, which ia an extended clearing, in some places four miles in width, corpses were in the open road, between fences which were only slightly burned. No mark of fire was upon them, but they laid there as if asleep. This phe nomena seems to explain the fact that so many were killed in compact masses. They seemed to have huddled together in what were evident I v regarded at the moment as 'lie nfcst places, away front buildings, trees, or LlkTiH""1"" BBhwjal, aad there to have died together- Fences around cleared fields ware burned ia ipots of only a lew rods in length, aad Usswlww not touched, fista filled in the stisams asatPeshuwo.

Suddenly the big bell o. the t-iiy Hall boomed loud and long over the metrop olis, and "Fire! Fire!" echoed arounu ano Ttl.in tlietheatre. We were off in an in stant, rushing out of the slamming doors, and onward toward the scene of the confla gration, which was "glaring on Night's star tled eye away uown town. When we reached Wall street,- near Wa ter, the Tontine Coffee House had caught, and dark smoke in huge masses, tinged with dickering flashes ol bright flame, was burs-ting from all the upper windows. The night, as all who were out in it will remember, wo3 intensely cold. There was but little wind, still as the fire advanced there was plainly nsroni;iilH i lie "food of fire" in the air. as I firmly lielieve there always ia in all great conflagrations; something mysterious as yet, and iinexjlainjble. it was so in our greai lire, for 1 saw its evidences myseii, anu i sec that reports of the same evidences are men tioned as features of the still more terrible and vastly greater conlugration in Chicago, which has "roused liie world." rcienee, there is but little doubt, will find out by-and-by, what this mysterious iower is, and tell us how it works, and how it may be guarded againt, if not conquered. Whether it is at moibcric or electric, or whatever ebe it may be, is yet to be determined. A word or two more concerning this subject a little fur ther on. Our great fire traveled south and west faster than a man could walk. Water froze in all the gutters; thick ice coated all the hy drants, ciuncheil in the hose pijKSlhat en ninilif rti! the streets, and lav in "floes" where there was :i -ludow from the heat and the flame. But in a little while no water was wanted. Engines were soon useless; and no energetic "Sykesy" was required to "take the butt." Clouds of smoke, like dark mountains suddenly rising into the air, were succeeded liy long banners ot name, rushing to the zenith, and roaring for the r prey. Street after street caught the terrible torrent, until over acre after acre there war rolling and booming an ocean offiame! "All of this I saw, and jurt of it I was. The printing office of the KnicLtrbucLrr, at fn-t in South William street, was moved threetiuies far beyond the ireailing fire, but was yrad uilly followed by the raging enemy, and finally deoured.

What latent jmwer enkindled the in side of ihee advanced buildings, while ex ternally they were untouched?

It is not so verv loiiir since the old tea-kettle first lilted its lid to the science of steam, and talking around the world under water is a inuth younger wonder. Itnllle Intbe Air. Two cinenters engaged in the construc tion of a building at Ninth and Market street", in which the floors have not el been laid, got to fighting yesterday while standing on the joists, nearly fifty feet above the ground. JlcMains, oue ol tlieiu,Knockeu down G. A. Carter, the other, with a club. He fell across the joists and was held there by McMains, who beat him terribly with a ji'iece of wood. He came very near falling to the ground, which would probably have resulted in his death. Aft-r the fight had progressed for some miniiti-, ijarter was asked it he was sati-ueu, which he replied that he was not. The an tagonists, then, by mutual consent, adjourned the battle for a few moments that tbey might descend to terra firau and fight it out, while iheir comrades immediately gathered round and lireed them to make peace. Both of them had fought stubbornly, though Cirter was consideratly the worse off. Arguments and Herniation failed to reconcile the infuri ated men, and they went down into the street and commenced a pitched battle with rocks. They had hurled but one or two missiles at each other, when they were promptly arrested and placed in Twelftl street station house by officer Westby. They were released soon afterward on bail, and Carter went to a physician and had hi: wounds dressed. He was awfully bruised. The difficulty is said to have originated in adisnnle about the width of a plank. A more dangerous jdace for a fight could not have been selected, as a misstep might have nrerJnitated both o. them to the ground, fifty feet below, and in the fall they would have ttruck against obstacles which would have injured them seriously u not luiauy. 7.0111 rit7 Courier Batn arc Benefactor. Among the prejudices cherished by the masses against harmless animals, few are stronger than that felt almost universally against bats, arising probably from the sim ple fact tl at they arc children of the night, and forced to carry on their search after food in the darkness. It may be, however, that their lieculiar hideoiisness has given ad ditional strength to this feeling, for the Jewish legislation already declared them unclean and accursed, and the Greeks bur rowed their wings for the harpies, as Christ ians have done 'or the devil. A poor, lost bat need but fly into a room filled with cum pany, and everybody is frightened. Sa pintitous eople tremble at their meia lic ence as an evil omen, and the strong-minded among the fair excu-c their terror by a irt- tended lear lor tneir uair an apprenenriou which could be well founded only if the ac counts of iasects being harbored in their chignons should be verified. It istnie thee children of d irkness are neither fiir in form, nor amiable in temper, the naked, black skin of their wings, stretched put between enormously lengthened fingers, like the silk of an umbrella between the whalebone of the frame; the ugly claws of their hind feet; the bare apjendages wnicn irequrnuy auorn their noses in a most eccentric manner; and their perfectly noisele", almost mysterious flight by touch, and not by sight all these peculiarities combine to make them un welcome guests among men. And yet they are real public benefactors When the first warm sun of spring arouses them from their long winter sleep, which they enjoy, hanging by their long hind feet, bead down, and the whole body carefully wrapped up in the wide cloak of their wings, they begin their night hunts. A dozen fat beetles hardly suffice for the supper of a hungry member of one variety, and sixty to seventy house-flies of another kind. All nieht long lliey pursue with indefatigable enerev every variety of beetle and moth, of fly and buff, and enjoy most of all those which do the greatest injury to our fruit-trees and cereals. Prof. De cre ia Appfeton't Journal. A.T. Stewaet is one of the most liberal and systematic advertisers in the world. He thoroughly believes in it. During the last rear his expenditures in this respect, which he maintains bring him the best return of anv, have been largely increased.

King's excellent address delivered be- lore me otaie caiiorui .aswAMuuu, iym approvingly of that portion of the address devoted to "Personalities," and endorses the position taken therein. This poition as we understand it. is. that a paper to be worth anything must be outspoken about individ uals as well as parties, about men as wen a measures. It must be capable of saying "Thou art the man," whenever the public good requires such an expression. Villains must be pointed out by their given and sur names, and fools, who are nearly as danger ous to the public peace, must be talked to in a manner that even a fool can understand. Tn lmkinir over our exchange list we are reminded every day that Capt. King's doc trine is that ofnearlv every leading and in fluential paper in the country. Pickin? up, for instance, a recent copy ot the New York TrUncue, we find in the same column one short paragraph commencing in this manner: That the attempt of Magnus Gross to sell out the German Democrats, who are resolved on reform, has not been so far successful, is not so much due to the backwardness of Mr. Gross, etc And another which begins by sa ing that "fmm Washington we have an unavory story about the sales of seized reliel cotmn by the Government at the close of the war." Here are two samples, selected at random. A weak, old grannyish paiwr would have commenced by intimating, in a circuitous imnner. that "the attempt of a certain toli- tician, who shall be nameless, to sell out the German Democrats," and so on, through a column and a half, and as to the cotton frauds no mention would be made of them lest somebody at Washington should be offended. The New York Times Is another favorable sjecimen of a modem newsjiajier. In its fir.1.1 n tlip Tniom inv rim; it has been un- Iaringly "peroual," and lias filled wnole columns" with the names of thieves. This is a good sign not only for the public, but for the indejiendence and prosjierity of the jiress itself. The leading iapers of the country do much lo fix the "style" of all the pajiers'of the country, and will, aftera while, make independence the lahion everywhere. The people like the new order of things, and they grow impatient of granny ism and toady ism in newspajiers. Cowardice makes a newsnaner as odioue as it does an individual. "Ifjouare afraid, go to the rear," is the admonition of the public We hone Capt. King's address willlhave a good effect in Kanis, and that Kansas edi tors will all realize that indejwndent and courageous journalism does not consist en tirely in calling the editor 01 me opposition pajrhard names, out, as aneminemcoieiu poraryof ours would observe, "holding the mirror up to niture" in all cases, eten though the mirror might leflect the counte nance of a United Slates Senator, or some other great man. As a taper should be oiit-poktn in regard to the enemies of the public, so it should always be ready to say a good word for the really meritorious. 11 11 wisnes to sujijion a man for office it should say so at once, and not ro t'ifflini? and blushing about it. It should express its preferanoe in plain words, and not haslilullv indicate its cnoice uj publishing a long address on the subject of cheese and turnijn by its fionte asjnrant for political honors. It i' too much to exject at this time th.-t newsnjiers will be emancijiated entirely from party im. There w ill always lie some iajvrs who will sujijiort anybody who has a "regu lar nomination."

IJiu tl truth is tint, aside fiom the ordinary ills thai oiinuioii llet-h is heir to. and of which she has her shire, she is a spiriiualist; anLT the eminently re-qjecuble and thoroughly stujiM English public regard such a belief with repugnance bordering on dismay. The tiling seems to those materialistic, matter of fact oeonleso utterly incredible that the only way I hey can account for it is by supjosing that her mind is laboring under a hallucina tion, if, indeed, it is not jermaiienlly disor dered. She has a firm conviction that Prince Albert is always preent with her, and that she can hold communion with him. Her private rooms are arranged as they were when he was alive. His chair is placed ojijiosite to her own in the library, and the books which he delighted to lead to her are arranged lovingly in order, ujion the tabic In some of her moods she will converse with him for an hour together, conducting her own share of the conversation aloud, and with the visor and interest of old times. He has ta'ight her by his example, the success of his business enterprises esjiecmiy uy ins management ol the Duchy of Cornwall to sujerintend, as much as ossible, all her private affaire herself; to reduce all un- eces ceasary exjiendilures, and to forbid extrava gan.e.

Wm. sprague, great grandfather of the present prince, was one of the original settlers of Rhode Island, and built the first cotton mill ever erected in Providence. It was his ambition to run 100 looms, at the end of his death sixty were in operation in his mill and about 900 yards of cloth were manufactured per week. The present Arm runs 6,000 looms, manufactures 5,000 pieces of cloth her day and print 2,500. The largest mill in the United States belongs to them and is located at Baltic, is 964 feet long, five stories high, contains 2,000 looms and runs 76,000 spindles. They own two mills at Quidneck, R. I., of 25,000 spindles; at Natick, four mills of 43,000 spindles; at Central Falls four milk of 33,000, constitu ting the United States Flax Mill, and at Maine two mills of 35,000 spindles. These different mills are surrounded by villages formed of houses occupied by the operatives. churches for their attendance and a large store to supply their necessities, all erected at the same time as the mills. In Baltic the firm own every lot of land Iwrdering lioth banks of the Shetucket Kiver for ten miles, extending through Windham, Sprague, and South Windham counties to Willimantic In Maine tbey hive purchased the entire northern end of the city of Augusta, and on the Kennebec River they have erected a dam 1,000 feet long, 17 feet high, with an average flow of two fee in dejith, which backs the water twelve miles with force sufficient to run all the mills in the State of Rhode Island. The firm also own the whole of the Cnn- lraree Kiver in Columbia. S. C.

JF'ruiu !!jri-r' Weeklr. The following adventure hapiened Bath, England, many years ago, and the lady who narrated it to the writer, was (in those days) a otiiigcirl staving ::t the house. It was in the jialmy days of Bath, when tint nuvr fallen city rivalled London in brilliancy and di-siicitiun, and when all the rich anil gay, and the high born of England congre gated 111 Ihe season, and graced the balls and assemblies. Mrs. it once the belle of the court of George HI, but at this period gradually retiring from general society, pos sessed one of the largest old houses, and gave in it entertainments which were the most popular of the day. She was celebrated for llnMhree things (once for four,) but the fourth ntr beauty was of those days gone by these were, her fascination, her benevolence, and a set of the most matchless and perfect amethysts. Her bouse contained tapestried chambers. The walls of the one in which she slept were hung around with designs from heathen mythology, and the finest in the room was that which hung over her dressing table. It represented Phut-bus driv ing the chariot of the sun. ihe figures and horses being life size, it filled up the space between the two windows, and the horses were concealed behind the old fashioned e netian looking-glass, while Phsbus himself, six feet high, looked down by day and by night on his mistress at her toilet. One evening Mrs. R had an unusually large party at home. She wore all ber ame thysts. On retiring to her room at four o'clock in the morning, she took off her jew els, laid them on the table, and dismissed her weary maid, intending to put them away herself: but before doing so she knelt down, as usual, to say her prayers. Vhile engaged in her devotions, it was a habit with her to look upward, and the face of Phoebus was generally her point of sight, as it were, and the object upon which her eyes most easily rested. On this tiarticular night, as usual. she raised her eves to Phtebus. What does she see? Has Pygmalion been at work? Has be filled those dull silk eyes with vital fire? Or iff she dreaming? Ivo. Possessed naturally of wonderful courage and calmness. she continued to move her lips as if in rilent prayer, and never once withdrew her gaze; and sun the eyes looked down upon hers. The light of her candles shone distinctly on living orbs, and her good keen sight enabled her, alter a cleverly inaugurated scrutiny, to see that the tapestry eyes of Phu-bus had been cut out, and that, with her door locked and every servant in bed in their distinct ajartmenis, and all her jewels apread out before her, she was not alone. She concluded her prayer with her face sunk in her hands. We can well imagine what thoe prayers must have been. Mie knew there was some one liehind the tapes try: she knew that bells and screims were equally Useless; and she lay down in her bed is usual ami waited the issue, tne oniy onus- ior. being that she did not put away her jew el. "They may save my life," she said to herself, and she closed ber eyes, the clock struck five 1-efore a sound was heard, and then the moment arrived. She heard a rustle, a decent from behind the tapestry, and a man stood at her dressing-table. He took off his coal, and one by one he secured the jewels about his waistcoat. What would lie his next move? Would it be to the bed side or to the window? Ue turned and ap Kroached her bedside; but by that time she ad seen enough, and again dose 1 her eyes and resigaeuVberself .0 the Providence whose proection she had been craving. The man was her own coachman. Ap parently satisfied by a brief glance under his dark lantern that he had not disturbed her, he quietly uulocked the door and left her. For two hours they must have seemed two days she allowed the house to remain un- atanned, her only movement naving oeen 10 relock the door, which her living Phojbus had left ajar. At seven in the morning she rang the bell, and ordered the carriage around just after breakfast. All was accord ing to ber usual habits, un me oox was tne man who had cost her a night's rest and most probably all her jewels. However, she went off; she went straight to the house of a magistrate. "Seize my coachman said she; "secure him and search him. I have been robbed and I hardly think he has had time to disen cumber himself of the jewels he has taken from me." Sh. wm nheved. and she was right. The amethysts were still about him, and he gave himselfup without a struggle. eaiE BCT XBT rBBsjBrra."

The Test far Buralua; Oil. From the Nalinual Oil Journal. In our last issue we explaimed the method in common use for determining the fire test of petroleum oils. We refer to the matter again for the purose of urging every per son to use kerosene to ascertain the fire test before trusting it. If a thermometer is not available, or if for any rexon the test cannot be made in the usual way, then try a vet sim pler method which has been occe before mentioned in our columns. Pour a small quantity into a saucer or other shallow dish, and pass a lighted match near the surface of the oil. If you detect any small bluish flashes or un, or if the vapor takes tire, then, in either case, the oil is dangerous and unht for use. K sure and always have both the dish and the oil at as warm a temjiera Hire as they would be in the shade on a hot summer's day. Recently, in a single month, three women were burntd tn death in the ci y of Pittsburg by keroseene explosions. We have before us a sample of the oil used in one of these cases, nnd any person familiar with kerosene can tell instantly that it lias lieen adulterated by the addition of benzine. On the application ol a match as above described, it takes fire as instantaneously as jiowder. The oil was purchased as a good article, hut if this test had been applied, its true charac ter would have been discovered, and the life of the wife and mother might have been saved. ITE3IM.

Seator Sumner's letter to the colored jieojile, rejd at the Columbia, (S. C.) Con vention, contains the following iutt resting iiassagi: "A hotel is a lejrd institution, and so is .1 common "chool. As t-uiii, each iim-t be for the equal benefit of all. Hon can there be any exclusion from either on account ol color; is it not enough to jirovi.n seturale accommodations for colored ciliztn even if in all resiiects as good as those of other persons equality is not found as an equivalent, but only in equality. The right to vote will have new security whin your euual right in public conveyance, hotels and common schools is at last established. The civil rights law needs a siipi!ement to cover such rases. Justin McCarthy writes from London: "the British rough has got il thoroughly into his head that his wife is his projierty to beat and kick as he please, and unless he actually and deliberately kiljs the woman, having' formally announced his intention U forehand, lie never sufferers more than a few weeks' imprisonment. The beast would be more severely punished if he were to break a janeof glass in a shop window. The ju- pers positively overflow with thee crimes just now. Il is almost sujiertluous to single out any particular ca-e as an illustration, lor thev are all the same. In no country save England alone, do such things occur to the same extent, and the fact .is a hideous disgrace to our laws and our society." AtTitusville a new oil well has been discovered. A corrcsjiouilcnt from that vicinity says that tor nine hours jt "flowed a beautiful amberand rose tinted oil, of sixteen degrees gravity, as large as a sto.epipe, at the rate of four hundred and thirty-wen barrels per hour. The nil is so heavy tint it foamed a jierjiendicular column of six inches in diameter that would push its way up several hundred feet into the air, when, becoming pirtially melted by the sun's rays, and overcome by its own weight, it would break off near the ground, and tall over like an immense tallow candle struck with a club."
