WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... SEPTEMBER 1, 1877. If anybody disbelieves one single statement made by "Venise" in the communication in regard to Capt. Thom, published in the Gazette of yesterday, affidavit as to the correctness of every allegation can be quickly procured from men whose word is a thousand times better than Capt. Thom's bond. The Oroville Mercury Inc. says: "Most of the wine drank in this part of the country is made during the wine-making season." There is a strange coincidence about this. Strange as it may seem, the wine drank in Anaheim is also made during the wine-making season. We might add that whenever one gets inebriated in this part of the country, he acts just as if he was intoxicated. How is it up in Oroville? The announcement that Gen. Volney E. Howard will address the people of Anaheim on Saturday evening, taking for his subject the agressions of the railroad company and the question of freights and fares, is enough to fill Kroger's Hall to overflowing. The subject, is one upon which the people have an earnest desire for knowledge, and the ability of Gen. Howard is so well known that it is needless for us to say that he will present his views in a vivid, powerful manner. A Redwood paper says: One of our neighboring towns has ciphered the candidate-treat-dodge to a very fine point. A telegraph wire is connected with recording instruments in the various bars, and when a candidate enters a particular saloon the other drinking places are instantly signalled, and pour forth their inmates to swell the patriotic total. There is no telling how much a man will not do for the public good in the alcoholic line. The San Francisco Stock Report has "got off" what it calls the "prize joke of 1877." Here it is: HUMORS OF THE CAMPAIGN. Notwithstanding the exceeding difficulty which has characterized the present campaign, there have been numerous phases in it indiscreous enough to provoke gunkine mirth. Some of the arguments used why certain candidates should not be directed are sublime laughable and absurd. Take, for instance, the charge against Mr. Barrows—that he is too able a man; that he would make an admirable Secretary of the Treasury but a perfect stick of a Senator. And then it is urged that Col. Smith should be elected because he is a smart lawyer, and in proof of this his supporters cite the fact that the railroad company only employ the best lawyers; that Col. Smith is (or was) attorney for the company; ergo. Smith is a good lawyer. His other accomplishments are a perfect familiarity with the tariff question, codfish and salt—questions of paramount interest to the voters of Los Angeles. Here is a quandary for the dear people to be in. It won't do to elect a man of such ability to the State Senate as Mr. Barrows; and it is still more certain that they don't want to be represented by a railroad attorney and tariff sharp. And then there is Hilton. Hilton, according to the opposition, don't know a tax receipt from a piece of chewing gum. If you were to give him those articles he would put the receipt in his mouth and read the chewing-gum backwards. They call him a negative man, and all that sort of thing. But really we can't fully agree with this estimate of Mr. Hilton. We have conversed with men who have known him for a score of years, and they unanimously speak of him with the greatest respect. They tell us that in Solano-county he was looked upon as not only a merchant of fine business capacity, but as an able man in every sense of the word. He steadfastly refused to accept political office, and it was only by representing that certain abuses must be remedied that he was prevailed upon to take his seat as Supervisor of the county. They further tell us that having remedied these abuses, he retired from office and peremptorily declined to serve further. In further proof of his in- We don't claim to be a prophet seventh son of a seventh son, but we lose hazard the prediction that Col. Whaeler will upchad to arch-term in the board. Six years at least period for any official to hold office matter of fact, picture status per ito longing. As in the story it appears to make frequent changes, post to another, of the different officers, so in civil life it is equally for the efficiency of the service than a change of officials every six year. With Col. Wheeler as County people will have an official whose experience in office will enable serve his constituency intelligently. The extraordinary intelligence received in England of the disappearance two islands—the Barker Islands—inhabitants. Capt. Fisher, a capitalist, purchased from the Welian Government the right to remit from two islands on the coast, deed the chart and known as the Barker and situated in lat. 14° S., enn Capt. Fisher dispatched over April with laborers and appliances the guano, but when the vessel at the place where the islands are to be, there was nothing to be water. The islands had disappeared, how and when is at present. It was generally supposed that lay out of the line of active volcano so that the phenomenon is all too markable. A CORRESPONDENT of the San Alta writes as follows: Whilst in Sonoma Valley as an invalid paternal hospitality of Dr. and his good wife during one rambles, I noticed what to me very large wild grape vine, upon which I found to be 42 inches once at the ground; thence a lace above the ground; two branches inches and one 25 inches in circumference four feet above the ground; one 23 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one 18 inches one A boring towns has ciphered the candidate-treat-dodge to a very fine point. A telegraph wire is connected with recording instruments in the various bars, and when a candidate enters a particular saloon the other drinking places are instantly signalled, and pour forth their inmates to swell the patriotic total. There is no telling how much a man will not do for the public good in the alcoholic line. The San Francisco Stock Report has "got off" what it calls the "prize joke of 1877." Here it is: Why was the Russian campaign in Armenia a failure? Because the Khurds were in the whey. Curda, you understand. And whey. Curda and whey. That is the whey it oo-Khurd. This is atrogy atrocified. A journalist who would so distort the English language should bo whey-laid and whey-led. Tirnova a new leaf. TALKS with several of the most prominent grape culturers in Fairfield county, Ohio, indicates a general expectation of the destruction of the grape crop, the black rot having totally destroyed the entire yield of Catahaw and Concords, and leaving but a partial crop to be expected from that hardier specimen, the Ivess Seedling. Growers are greatly discouraged, and many of them will plough up parts of their vineyards next autumn, to give place to something more certain and profitable. We have received a long communication from Westminster, charging Mr. Kremer with gross neglect of duty, carelessness in the administration of the affairs of his office, and with attempting to saddle the mistakes of his administration upon his predecessor in office, W. R. Rowland. These are in brief the principal charges made, but we can not afford to surrender the space required to print the communication in full. Nor do we think it necessary to the success of Mr. Kimball that these attacks should be made upon his opponent. There can be no doubt that in this part of the county at least Mr. Kimball will get a handsome majority. And we are equally certain, from the reports received from Los Angeles and elsewhere, that he will be the next Tax Collector. Mr. J. M. Bassett has addressed a letter to Col. Smith, on the subject of his being selected by the railroad corporation to manage a newspaper in Los Angeles, in the interest of the railroad candidate, e. Smith. In his letter, published in the Herald, he says: I am impressed with the notion that the "Railroad Company" is not sufficiently interested in the election or defeat of yourself or any other Legislative candidate to spend time or money for the attainment of either end. Mr. Bassett is not a man whose views regarding the Railroad Company's intentions will be received with very much weight. We would as soon expect Charles Crocker or Col. Smith to condemn any action the railroad company might take as Mr. Bassett. But we had almost forgotten another charge, more serious than them all. Mr. Hilton is charged with being the owner of land in Napa county. Were this damning accusation true we would forever eschew Hilton. We could be friendly with a murderer, could take to our capacious bosom the slayer of innocent babes, and weep sympathetic tears over the woes of a horse-thief, but when it comes to holding out the right hand of fellowship to a man who owns land in Napa county, we cave. Happy are we to announce that Mr. Hilton is not guilty of this grave indictment. And then there is Brunson. He also is afflicted with too much ability for the position he seeks. A mediocre lawyer like Thom is what is wanted. Whenever Brunson prosecutes a case he secures a conviction, and whenever he defends he secures an acquittal. It won't do to put that kind of a lawyer in the District Attorney's office. It would be strangely inconsistent, at a time when we are setting forth the advantages of our county, with a view to inducing immigration, to elect a man as District Attorney who would, by a monotonous stream of convictions, make serious inroads into the population. What we want is a District Attorney who signs bonds without examining them; who in drafting indictments for murder forgets to mention the fact that somebody was killed; who sealed his Democracy with his blood; who requires the assistance of a deputy at a salary of $150 per month; who in making out an indictment against a member of an insurance company, thought it was unnecessary to state that it was a corporation duly incorporated under the State law; that, we say, is (not) the kind of a man we want as District Attorney. Besides being possessed of the above qualifications, Capt. Thom's private life is a model to be patterned after. At least we should judge so, because he challenged Mr. Brunson to a comparison and discussion of their domestic and private affairs! This we consider to be the most humorous phase of this most humorous campaign. A CORRESPONDENT OF THE SAN ALta writes as follows: Whilst in Sonoma Valley as an invalid paterno generous hospitality of Mr. and his good wife during one of rambles, I noticed what to me very large wild grape vine, upon which I found to be 42 inches in once at the ground; thence, a above the ground, two branches inches and one 25 inches in circumference; at 50 ground, 10 inches in circumference; the branches: three large trees form a natural trellis; from them runs into 13 different trees. Can beat this vine? Since our expose of Thom's persistent refusal to do his work collecting delinquent school taxes he him and Fairview districts, of another instance of its neighbor name for it.) The repeats Sycamore and Justin City district its delinquent taxes, were treated same contempt and indifference by proud aristocrat, Thom, as well Anaheim and Fairview. It been Thom's policy while District to shield, whenever he could do landowners from paying school taxes the poor settlers here in the city 1870-71 and '72, were almost does selves the necessities of life, so to build school houses, through sal to do the duties of him was deliberately shielding the land-monopolists from paying tion of these school taxes. Let when he goes to the polls next bear in mind that while thus no duties, and through this negligent additional burthens upon the police Cameron E. Thom and his illegal deputy were drawing a salary year for pretending to fill the district Attorney. Let every vote hopelessly fettered by party shoppers go to the polls next that the name of Cameron E. Thompson this ticket. MR. H. D. BARROWS has issued to the voters of the county length his views upon the railroad questions. It was superfluous rows to assure the people of his position on all matters relevant welfare; but at the same time he comparing his past railroad record of his opponent, will no doubt be of great good. We make the follow-it is well known that my oppose Smith, and the law firm of my member, have been the attendant Southern Pacific Railroad for ten-day. That fact is a perfect one, both to his firm and to him it is compliment to the eminent I am impressed with the notion that the "Railroad Company" is not sufficiently interested in the election or defeat of yourself or any other Legislative candidate to spend time or money for the attainment of either end. Mr. Bassett is not a man whose views regarding the Railroad Company's intentions will be received with very much weight. We would as soon expect Charles Crocker or Col. Smith to condemn any action the railroad company might take, as Mr. Bassett. Unless rumor much belies him, he is, or has been, so closely connected with the railroad corporation that he must necessarily surrender what little judgment he has into their keeping. If his letter to Col. Smith was not dictated in the interests of the "Railroad Company," we are very much mistaken. Nearly every newspaper in the State, not known to be controlled by the monopoly, are filled with warnings to the people against candidates supposed to be favorites of the railroad corporations. It is worse than foolish in the organs to keep on reiterating that "the railroad is out of politics." Every body with an idea above an oyster knows that the monopoly has too much at stake to remain passive during the present campaign. We find in a Democratic paper, published in San Francisco, a long editorial commencing as follows: "The Central Pacific Railroad Company is an important factor in the approaching election. It has a two-fold interest in the struggle. First, it desires to secure a Legislature that will give it such legislation in local affairs as it desires; and second, through that Legislature it hopes to secure a Senator in the Congress of the United States plagged to its interest. We shall have occasion hereafter to point out the desperate necessity under which the giant monopoly labors to secure a legislature that will avail itself of the authority affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, to embarrass its grasping proponents in the matter of fares and freights." That is the real issue in this election—whether men will be elected to the Legislature who will work for the people or do the bidding of the railroad magnates. Whish of the Legislative candidates in this county are the most likely to legislate in the interests of the people and against the aggressions of the railroad?—Barrows or Smith, Hilton or Ellis! The San Francisco News Letter points to the fact that the reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands is not panning out well—indeed, is not panning out at all. There has been no noticeable increase in exportation to the islands; sugar costs the California consumer just as much as before. The only difference is that several hundreds of thousands of dollars, which formerly went into the United States Treasury, now go to swell the bank accounts of a few lucky Hawaiian planters. It was unnecessary to state that it was a corporation duly incorporated under the State law; that, we say, is (not) the kind of a man we want as District Attorney. Besides being possessed of the above qualifications, Capt. Thom's private life is a model to be patterned after. At least we should judge so, because he challenged Mr. Branson to a comparison and discussion of their domestic and private affairs! This we consider to be the most humorous phase of this most humorous campaign. The objections to Mr. Bixby also partake somewhat of the humorous. They say he is too rich a man to be elected County Treasurer; that if any deficiency should occur while he was Treasurer, he would, by means of his wealth, be able to fee abundant lawyers and thus escape the consequences of his derelictions. And, besides, he is a sheep-owner and farmer, and it is proverbial that sheep owners and farmers, like Joe of Tom-All-Alones, "dont know nothink." Mr. Bixby will have to plead guilty to the charge of being rich, but in extenuation he can plead that his riches are the result of a lifetime of toil; that what he is possessed of has been earned by the sweat of his brow; and that his wealth has never been put to ignoble uses. As to the charge that he "don't know nothink" he might refer to the fact that he is usually accounted a shrewd business man; that he is one of the directors of one of the most substantial financial institutions in the county; and that the vast interests under his control are prosperous. But then something must be alleged against him, and it may as well be this as anything else. We will conclude by commiserating with the polished, classical, and able Kewen, on his defeat for the nomination for Senator. To use his own words, it is bitterly humiliating to be, like Lazarus, licked by dogs. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company employed his firm heretofore, when led the services of any legal firm during the last few weeks, in drawing a contract, or contract of the Railroad Company, for way, etc., from the Santa Monica Alameda street track. No able, I suppose, and certainly true, that I have also been a friend and zealous advocate and, I believe, a not altogether worker, for the Los Angeles dence Railroad, which as a co-mit from this city to tide water harbor or roadstead, which it is estimated, saved this country cent back country, several hundred dollars by the reduction it caused and fares. He reviews at some length on the Southern Pacific Railroad for the improbability of expecting exactions if the Legislature men who are in sympathy and that corporation. The conclusion of his address is as follows: If these assurances are not met by the voters of this county to be beside me for the Senate of Ohio only guarantee of the sincerities I have to offer is my than twenty-two years of work spent in Los Angeles county. It is said that the Sacramento County Committee's assessment for election expenses is unjust year, amounting to but $26000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 The extraordinary intelligence has been lived in England of the disappearance of islands—the Barker Islands—and their inhabitants. Capt. Fisher, a Tasmanian official, purchased from the West Austra-Government the right to remove two islands on the coast, described on chart and known as the Barker Islands, situated in lat. 12° S., long. 125° E. Fisher dispatched three vessels in oil with laborers and appliances for shipping the guano, but when the vessels arrived the place where the islands were known there was nothing to be seen but water. The islands had disappeared entirely now and when is at present a mystery. Was generally supposed that Australia out of the line of active volcanic agency, that the phenomenon is all the more remarkable. A correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle writes as follows: Whilst supporring Bonoma Valley as an invalid partaking of generous hospitality of Mr. Leonard Ross, his good wife during one of my little absences, I noticed what to me seemed a large wild grape vine, upon measuring when I found to be 42 inches in circumference at the ground; thence, a short distance gave the ground, two branches, each 60 inches and one 25 inches in circumference, at feet above the ground, three branches, each 23 inches, one 18 inches and one 15 inches. Such a Stupid Woman. From the Chinatown Liaqueter. "John," said Mrs. Sanjurja to her husband one evening last week, "I've been reading the paper." "That's nothin'," grunted John, "I've seen people before who read newspapers." Yes, but there are several things in the papers I can't understand." Then don't read 'am." What do they mean about the strike, John? What is a strike, anyhow? "A strike is where they have struck," and Sanscript knocked the ashes from his cigar. "I don't grasp your meaning, exactly," said Mrs. S., with a puzzled look. "Now these strikers have stopped all the railroad trains in the country. Why did they do it?" To prevent 'em from running. Yes, but why didn't they want trains to run? Because they wanted more money for running them." Do they pay more for stopping trains than for running them? No, you stupid woman. Then why in the world did they stop 'em—why didn't they run more of them, or run 'on faster? Mary Ann, you will never surround the problem." Maybe not, John. Some things are gotten up purposely to bother women. Now, here's a column headed 'Base Ball.' What is base ball, John? Don't you know what base ball is? Happy woman! you have not lived in vain. Here it says that 'the Hartfords could not collar Cummings' curves.' What under the sun are Cummings' curves? It's the way he delivers the ball. Is the ball chained? No, you booby." Then how does he deliver it? I mean pitches it. Oal Now here it says Jones muffled a ball after a hard run. What was the ball doing after a hard run? Hadn't you better confine your research to the obituary and marriage columns, Mary, with an occasional advertisement thrown in to vary the monotony? Yes, but John, I want to know? There's Mrs. Racket, over the way, who goes to all (the base ball games) and comes home to talk one blind about 'fly fouls,' 'brace hits,' 'sky scrapers,' and all those things. For heaven's sake, John, what is a sky scraper? Compose yourself, old woman. You are treading on dangerous ground; your feet are on slippery rocks, while raging billows roll beneath." Mercy on me. What do you mean? I mean, my dear madam, that whenever BY TELEGRAPH. Special dispatches to the Gambro by the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company. Arizona and Mexican News. SAN DIEGO, August 28. The Union's special from Tucson says that Hazlewood, a mail carrier, was shot and scalped by Indians on the 22d, at Steare's Peak, above the New Mexico line. His male has been recovered and the mail partially recovered. Troops who were out on the trail discovered the body, and are now on the trail of the Indians. Guido H. Hayra, mining engineer, and working in the interest of the San Francisco Mining Journal, has arrived here after eighteen months' examination of every Mexican State. He thinks favorably of the Mexican mining resources, and believes that the political outlook has improved under Diaz Gen. Huerta has fully recognized the legality of Mariscal as Governor of Sonora, which had a soothing effect. Murder at Sea. SAN FRANCISCO, August 28. The schooner Maggie Johnaton, just arrived, brings news of the murder of Capt. Hayes of the schooner Lotus of this port, by one of his men, while cruising among the Marshal groupe of islands. Hayes has been a notorious character in the South Sea Islands, and has been frequently credited with pirical acts. He was well known as a desperate character from Australia to Japan. He left here in the Lotus some months ago on a trailing voyage to the Samoan groupe and and neighboring islands. At Samoa he shipped a Dutchman as cook and seaman. An altercation ensued between the two, as to the steering of the vessel, which resulted in the sailor killing Hayes with the crutch of the main boon. Massacre by Indians. HELENA, Aug. 28.

The repeated impersonation of Thom and Austin City districts delinquent taxes were treated with the same contempt and indifference by this purpose and aristocrat, Thom, as were those of Haheim and Fairview. It seems to have been Thom’s policy while District Attorney shield, whenever he could do so the large landowners from paying school tax. While the poor settlers here in the dry years of 170-71 and 72, were almost denying themselves the necessities of life, to raise means to build school houses, through his refusal to do the duties of his office, he was deliberately shielding the monarch and monopolists from paying their just portion of these school taxes. Let every voter when he goes to the polls next Wednesday, hear in mind that while thus neglecting us duties, and through this neglect, imposing additional burthens upon the poor settlers, Cameron E. Thom and his illegally appointed deputy were drawing a salary of $6,000 a year for pretending to fill the office of District Attorney. Let every voter, who is not hopelessly fettered by party shackles, when he goes to the polls next Wednesday, see that the name of Cameron E. Thom is not on his ticket. Mr. H. D. Barrows has issued an address to the voters of the county giving at some length his views upon the railroad and other questions. It was superfluous in Mr. Barrows to assure the people of the soundness of his position on all matters relating to their welfare; but at the same time his address, by comparing his past railroad record with that of his opponent, will no doubt be productive of great good. We make the following extract: It is well known that my opponent, Colonel Smith, and the law firm of which he is a member, have been the attorneys of the Southern Pacific Railroad for years, and are too-day. That fact is a perfectly honorable one, both to his firm and to himself; indeed it is a compliment to the eminence of that character from Australia to Japan.

A Kurka special says: The truth must be stated about one feature of the Turkish attack. I stood for an hour in the hospital this afternoon and saw three explosive bullets cut out from as many wounded Russian bodies. These missiles had in these instances failed to explode, but they are so charged as to literally blow a man to pieces. A general order has been issued to examine the dead and ascertain if the use of explosive missiles is universal. Murderers of people, defenseless girls and children cannot be expected to deal with foes on the field of battle, according to the changes of modern warfare. Turkish Losses. Bucharest, Aug. 28. A correspondent states that the hills around Shipka are covered with Turkish bodies, and that their loss has been as great as that of the Russians at Plevna. London, Aug. 28. At the annual convention of the Home Rule Confederation of Great Britain, held at Liverpool yesterday, Dr. Bull presented character from Australia to Japan.

Strike It was superfluous in Mr. Barrows to assure the people of the soundness of his position on all matters relating to their welfare; but at the same time his address, by comparing his past railroad record with that of his opponent, will no doubt be productive of great good. We make the following extract. It is well known that my opponent, Colonel Smith, and the law firm of which he is a member, have been the attorneys of the Southern Pacific Railroad for years, and are so-day. That fact is a perfectly honorable one, both to his firm and to himself; indeed it is a compliment to the eminence of that legal firm that it has been employed, not alone by that powerful corporation, but by various other powerful corporations and monopolies in this county and section. In fact, the existence of such relation not only is perfectly honorable, but it is above criticism even, and the only thing connected with the matter that is, or should be, at all liable to criticism, is the attempt made in certain quarters to mystify that relation or half deny it, to Col. Smith's evident detriment. That gentleman is too honorable to deny that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company has employed his firm heretofore, whenever it needed the services of any legal firm, as well as during the last few weeks, in negotiating and drawing a contract, or contracts, in behalf of the Railroad Company, for the right of way, etc., from the Santa Monica depot to the Alameda street track. Not less honorable, I suppose, and certainly it is no less true, that I have also been known as the friend and zealous advocate (as a citizen), and I believe, a not altogether inefficient worker, for the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad, which as a competing road, from this city to tide water and to a new harbor or roadstead, which it opened up, it is estimated, saved this county and its adjacent back country, several hundred thousand dollars by the reduction it caused in freights and fares. He reviews at some length the attitude of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and the improbability of expecting relief from its exactions if the Legislature is made up of men who are in sympathy and accord with that corporation. The concluding paragraph of his address is as follows: If these assurances are not sufficient, I beg the voters of this county to elect somebody besides me to the Senate of California. The only guarantee of the sincerity of the assurances I have to offer is my past life, more than twenty-two years of which have been spent in Los Angeles county. It is said that the Sacramento Republican County Committee's assessment of candidates for election expenses is unusually low this year, amounting to but $2,000. welcome to the state by Governor Hartranft at Independence Hall last evening. His address was responded to by Governor Anthony, of Kansas, and Governors Beadle, Axall and Porter also made addresses. Governor Young, of Ohio, made the closing speech, and promised that the people of his State would give all the aid possible to the new exposition enterprise. A General Good Time. CLEVELAND, Aug. 29.

Attack by Turks. SHUMLA, Aug. 29. Yesterday Sulieman Pasha made an assault on the Russian positions in Schipka Pass. The battle, which was sanguinary, lasted until 6 o'clock in the evening.

LONDON, Aug. 29. A telegram to the Times from Shumla says Sulieman Pasha has captured nearly all of the Russian positions. The Russians lost 3,000 killed and wounded. The Standard's dispatch from Shumla says that it is reported that the Russians have abandoned their works and that Sulieman Pasha is pursuing them. French News. PARIS, August 29.

As regards Brigham's successor, it is impossible to say who may attain to his position. It is probable that the twelve Apostles, of whom John Taylor is leader, will take control of the church for a time. The Santa Ana Times says: We attended the settlers' meeting at the Arbor in Fountain Valley on last Saturday. There was a large number present to listen to the speech of Mr. Allen relative to the present status of their case with the Las Bolsas grant. Mr. Allen's speech set forth clearly the difficulties to be overcome, but pointed out in convincing manner the many frauds which had been perpetrated in the confirmation and survey of that grant. He presented convincing evidence which had never before been brought to light in the many trials which have been had in that case. The committee of the League resolved to employ Judge Brunson and Judge Allen to prosecute their case in the courts. We sincerely hope the glaring frauds explained by Mr. Allen may be shown up in the courts, and if they are, we have no fears but that the settlers will come off victorious. The devil fish, or vampire of the ocean, is perhaps the most dangerous monster a diver can encounter. Mitchell, in his "Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History, New York," describes one which was taken in the Atlantic, near the entrance of Delaware Bay, and was so heavy as to require three pair of oxen, a horse and several men to drag it on shore. It was estimated to weigh about 5 tens, and measured 171 feet long and 13 feet wide. Its mouth was 24 feet wide, and the distance between the eyes was over 4 feet. Doctor Baneroff, in Vol. IV., of the "Zoological Journal," describes a devil-fish, which was captured in 1828 in the harbor of Kingston, Jamaica, which had strength sufficient to drag four boats, fastened together, at the rate of four miles an hour. Probably Anson, in his "Voyage Round the World," refers to the devil-fish when he speaks of an immense fish, "broad and long like a quilt, wraps its fins round a man that happens to come within its reach, and immediately squeezes him to death." In July last a diver, in submarine armor, working at a wreck in Normandy, was seized by a devil-fish who held fast to a rock. His companion came to his assistance, and was also seized. It was with difficulty they could give the signal that they needed help. Others went down with cutlasses, and the A telegram to the Times from Shumla says Sulieman Pasha has captured nearly all of the Russian positions. The Russians lost 3,000 killed and wounded. The Standard's diapatch from Shumla says that it is reported that the Russians have abandoned their works and that Sulieman Pasha is pursuing them. French News. Paris, August 29. Gambetta has not yet received a summons. It appears that the law officers find some difficulty in framing an indictment. A ministerial council was held to-day to consider the matter. Governments papers are ordered to suppress all reports of the trial by correctional police. The project for the prosecution of Gambetta before a jury on more serious charges is said to be abandoned, because the fullest publicity would then be inevitable. The reason for Gambetta's prosecution is said to be that the Du de Broglie foresees the possibility of defeat at the elections, and thinks that if defeat should lead to Gambetta's elevation to the Premierhip, it would be a disaster for France. MacMahon could never accept as Premier a man convicted of insulting him. Holocaust in Mexico. City of Mexico, August 29. A dreadful fire has occurred in the Rosario mine.

Miles, of the crossing of Milk River of Sitting Bull, and his encampment between Milk and Missouri rivers, in the neighborhood of Little Rocky Mountains, 50 miles southeast of Fort Belknap. Sitting Bull's presence again in the United States with a large force will cause additional activity at the War Department in dealing with the Indian problem. Strike of Cigar Makers. Cincinnati, August 30. The cigar makers employed by Newbury Bros., numbering about 125, struck to-day, demanding the discharge of female employees. The firm declined, and expressed the intention Bought the Whole Thing. The Gold Hill News relates a story concerning Joe Blakely, formerly known in Gold Hill as "Imperial Joe" while on his visit to the East. One night after a lucky "sitting," so the story runs, Joe and his pard dropped in to see a church Fair that was in progress. It was in a country village, and the people, unlike most church folks, had some conscience in the matter of charging. Joe and his friend were both strangers, and walked around awhile, to take in the situation. Joe finally concluded that it was the cheapest fair he had ever struck, and proposed to his companion that they buy out the whole shebang. The proposition was accepted. They started at each side of the door and went around until they met in the middle, buying and paying for everything on the tables. Then the fun commenced. Prizes were announced for the prettiest girl in the room, and for the ugliest; girls with little feet, and girls with big feet, received premiums. The strangers were the center of attraction. They were the observed of all observers. After turning the heads of all the girls and making all the boys desperately jealous, they gave the remaining portion of the goods back to the church, and left as mysteriously as they came simply saying in explanation that they were mining speculators from Nevada.
