At International IMepute In KM iMfeef Wlnslow the Vto|er -- Great Britain Abandons Her treaty Obligations. between tbA^B^ST t̂onamNl̂ the State department, mjn * WMhfa«- ton telegram, show* that extradition be­ tween the two ooontriea ia a dead-letter; that Winalow and Gray and other Amer­ icans is wlkO there will be nlMaed, and that to aU intents and purpoae# the treaty of 1642 may be considered aa abrogated. Official information to that dM baa been eommunioated to the Senate Com­ mittee on Foreign Relations, that it may take snoh stepa aa a oo-Ordinate branoh of the treaty-making power as it may deem proper, either in the way of sug­ gesting to the President the terms of a new or supplemental treaty or to provide fur euuli legituaiiuu hh wui meet the ex­ traordinary demand of the British Gov­ ernment. This demand ia for an assur­ ance in the case of Winslow, the Boston forger, from this Government, that he shall uot he tried for any crime other than for which he was extradited. His extradition is asked for on an indict­ ment for forgery. The English authori­ ties declare that they will surrender him if th© Uaited States 'frfl! a^?se_so| to ky him for any other offense,, The Secre­ tary of State repMeeiitiat the tenth article of the Extradition treaty requires no suck exae&ion and shows that both coun­ tries have tried persons for crimes for which they were not extradited. . To this Hie other side make answer that an act of Parliament of 1870 prohibits the surreader of any criminal to a foreign eonnfery until assurance is reoeived, by law or otherwise, that he shall not be put on trial for any other crime than that for which he is given up. This Govern­ ment, in its reply, stands on the treaty of 1842, and protests that it is no party to the act of Parliament of 1870, though it insists that the twenty-seventh section of that act in effect sustains the extradition ebrase of the treaty. Aside from all these facts this Government in the Win- slow case has no authority whatever to pledge the conduct of criminal justice in Massachusetts to Great Britain. Win- alow is to be tried, if tried at all, in the eonrts of that State, and not in the courts of the United States. No Federal officer nun dictate to a diatrict-attorney nor a grand jury in Massachusetts the nature of the crime for which Winalow rftail be tried. The position of the Secretary of State is snMwiied by the leading men In both puMes at Washington who a^e ac­ quainted with the facta, while on the other hand that of Great Britain is re­ garded as singular as it is untenable.

Prof. Ferrier, of King's college, London, who has made the phenomena of sleep a special study, recently said in a lecture thereon that anything which has a tendency to abstract blood from the brain favors sleep. Exercise does tliifl. because the moment, the weary muscles are at rest the blood rushes to them to repair their loss, and is absorbed by them. Digestion and hot drinks produce the same result by drawing the blood supply from the brain to the stomach. Conversely, anything that stimulates the brain, such as sights, sounds^ thought or anxiety, will keep a man awake, If we, therefore, wish for a refreshing dumber, we must begin by avoiding care and anxiety and take suf­ ficient bodily exercise to induce the necessary muscular exhaustion. With regard to' the length of sleep, Dr. fer­ rier holds that the heart is not in a state of constant but of rhythmical activity, & term of action being followed by a pause of rests daring -which the heart is to all intents purposes asleep. In fact, if the pauses of the heart are all summed up, it will be found that it rests or sleeps eight hours out cf the twenty-foui, the sleep,, being in the proportion of one- DOM Fnao says he intends to every State in our Union.

Tele­ graph can snuff a candle «at fifty paces and carries a cane like a weaver's beam, and so when he says that there is an In­ dian couple residing in Graham county whose respective ages are 175 and 130, every man earnestly declares that lie knows them.

ABOUT a month since Daniel MoOruly, of Tiffin, O., moved to Kansas, 900 miles distant, taking a shepherd dog with him. The day after his arrival the dog disappeared. The other day he turned up at Tiffin, well though* foot­ sore, having evidently walked the whole distance. THXBK died in Detroit, Mich., recent­ ly* that widely-known and somewhat curious character. Dr. Orestes A. Brown- son. A man of continual mental re­ search, be was ever changing his views, especially npon matters pertaining to the soul, having been in his life over and through the fields of nearly every religious creed, from Unitariamsm to Roman Catholicism.

Wmrmum, Pkeaident of the Washington Moomeni Associa­ tion, has prepared a plan lor the com­ pletion of the monument, which has Deem .adopted by the association. The design is to abandon that part of the" original plan which calls for a temple orpantbeon. and to erect a simple shaft 800 feet high. The purpose of surrend­ ering the charter or allowing the monu­ ment to remain unfinished or be taken down, is to be abandoned, and subscrip­ tions are to be solicited from time to time until the monument is completed. THIERS recently arrived at Leaven­ worth, Kan.; a buffalo-hunter from the Pan-Handle o£ Texas, whose experience has never had a parallel in this countiy. Previous to the terrible storm of March 15 he was lost between Cantonment and Bed Deer creek, 100 miles away from any habitation, with no clothing or arms. For teii days the poor fellow b'ved on roots dug from "the frozen ground. One day he found the leg of a buffalo that had been killed months be­ fore, and ate the rotten marrow. This and the roots were his only subsistence. Both feet have been amputated. THE wife of George I. Amsdell, a wealthy Albany brewer, obtained a di- voroe from Mm in 1870. She was granted $50,000 alimony, of which $20,000 was paid in cash and the rest in a mortgage. In 1874 they were remar­ ried, and the wife gave back the mort­ gage. In 1876 they were ready to part again. The wife began a suit to recover the mortgage. Mr. John T. Hoffman was made a referee in the. case, and he has decided that the second marriage was null and void, as Mr, Amsdell had no right to marry afpuin while his di­ vorced wife lived. Therefore a new mortgage mnst be given to her and the arrearage of interest paid. PRESIDENT GRANT has signed the sil­ ver resumption bilL It ia now a law. No more money is to be spent by the Government in printing fractional cur­ rency. As fast as it beooiaes too worn for use it will be retired in favor of sil­ ver pieces of the denominations of ten, twenty, t-r-anty-five and fifty ^nts. Tho law ia peremptory and immediate in its direction to the Secretary of the Tret^s- ury to issue silver coins, although he is allowed some latitude in the details of the work, It ia probable that a good deal of the fractional currency will be redeemed and retired before it becomes too mutilated for use. CHINA is apparently becoming the " sick man" of the farther east. Sne has two distinct and prosperous rebel­ lions on hand at present, maoy interior towns being already in the hands of the insurgents. And worse than that, even, is the fact that the Government finds itself compelled to submit to th© bully­ ing of so insignificant a power as Portu­ gal, whose usurped position at Macao, having been aa incurable nuisance to the Chinese for a long time, is now ex­ tended by the occupation of an island In the neighborhood which China wanted to us© for a customs station. There is obviously not much hop® for a nation of hundreds of millions of people that tamely submits to snubbing from a state whose whole population might be housed in a single Chinese town. Bogus Scalps. T|ia large sums of money which were mid by the authorities of Blair and other counties in the mountainous parts of Pennsylvania, as bounties for scalps of wild animals, during the last year, prompted an investigation, which re­ vealed a well d&iriaed and carefully- executed scheme for defrauding the countv treasuries.

An Aeeompllsheaf fTie^Ire, Half-a-dozen small, boys congregated in an alley off Fourth street this morn­ ing to witness a Gweco-Roman wrestling' . match of some importance about to come off. The athletes in the case were a couple of boys about evenly matched in size, who had never engaged in a Grasoo- Roman wrestling before, but who thought they could manage it easily eBougbJbe- cause, sis one of them remarked,, "It's, only a kind o' rough an' tumble rastle, anynow." The stakes were a couple of bananas, purchased by subscription among the boys, and placed in the hands, of an umpire. c. Promptly at the word the two cham­ pions took off their coats and pitched in vigorously. They grabbed each other by the collar and tugged and pulled, and finally "one got hold of a handful of hair, and in return took a crusher in the eve, when they clinohed again and fell. The contest at once became a Grseoo- Roman fight of elegant dimessiens, and lasted about ten minutes® when one of the contestants, with a bloody nose and one eye closed, yelled " enough," and the otlier got up and claimed the bananas. They were not to be found, and the umpire was indignant that they should be demanded. He explained the situation in forcible terms .* " Yer show mose cheek nor a mule! Yer can't claim the stakes cos yer didn't stick to no rules.
