He had first, heard of it about a week ago, when he had received the most direct and positive information of this charac ter. He had then advised the jurymen to say nothing about it, as he did not wish to stop the progress of the case. Within the past twenty-four hours, however, these wolves that surrounded the jury became fiercer and bolder, and, upon hearing of one at tempt more brazen and.villainous than oth ers, ne had felt such indignation that he had nearly advised the juror to shoot down such a mail on the spot He had thought that, but had not advised it He now abjured the jurymen to spurn such men with the toe of their foot, to turn from them .with scorn. He wished to warn these men that they were not to commit such outrages with out punishment; after this trial perhaps an investigation would follow. Gen. Henkle immediately rose and said with much feeling that in the interest of his clients he should demand an investigation. The court said perhaps he would have it. All the other counsel for the defense gave similar notice. Foreman Dickson rose, and said that when the cases were disposed of he should lay all the information in his possession touching the subject before the court" OF the ten men arrested and commit ted for the recent murder of the Joyce fam ily in Ireland, five bear the name of Joyce and four the name of Casey.

More English is now spoken than French in the chief re sorts at the French capital, and comical la ments in Parisian papers over the American izing of the city and driving of the native population out into the remote suburbs do not seem so very much exaggerated.

Three adventurous persons last month as cended to the highest peak on Mount Ararat, which is lG,(Jiti feet above the level of the sea. p THE entire police force of Dublin left the force in a body, twenty-five officers re maining. Those who resigned or were dis missed held a meeting, at which Canon Pope urged them to submit to the authorities. There was great excitement in the city, and streets were patrolled by the military. Sev eral collisions occurred, but nobody was killed. Several robberies were committed, and fourteen persons wounded in street fights are in the hospital. Five hundred spe cial constables were sworn in, one of whom narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of a Arab! Pasha's chief engineer, who was re cently captured by the British, has been handed over to the Egyptian authorities at Alexandria, the Khedive guaranteeing that he should not be put to death without the consent of Gen. Wolseley. Dispatches of the 2d inst. from Alexandria re ported ^ that Arabi was withdraw ing his men to Tel-ei-Kebir. and that he was confiscating the property of the Eu ropeans in the interior, and selling it to the natives. Forty seamen from the ironclad Minotaur and a oompany of the Fifty-third regiment quietly approached the enemy's poMtion opposite raunleb, under cover of darkness, and suoceeded in blowing up with gun-cotton a house on the canal which had long been a point of vantage to the enemy's sharp-shooters. It was a daring deed. A wounded Arab officer states that hardly had the British cavalry swept through the Arab ranks recently when a horde of Bedouins poured in and began to strip and rob the dead and wounded of both sides, killing any of the wounded who were unable to resist. Dispatches of the 4th inst state that the Bedouins continued to intrench on the Aboukir side of Alexandria, in elose proximity to the British outposts. The Khedive had given permission to cut the dykes at Meks, preventing an attack by the enemy from Meriout lake. The populace at Cairo continued to menace the few Europe ans remaining, and there were fears that the Prefect of Police would be unable to main tain order. The British man-of-war Mino taur shelled a force of Egyptian infantry and cavalry l>etween llamleh and Aboukir. The Khedive's envoys at Ismailia arranged with Bedouin chiefs to bring over a considerable number of their people. •Gen. Wolseley has telegraphed the Government at home that it would not be necessary to mobilize a third army corps for Egyptian service, as, with a few reinforcements to fill up gaps, his present force was ample for all purposes De Lesseps declares that Arabi Pasha has the whole ot' Egypt at his back, with a force of 25,0» 0 to Arabs, and arms for 200,000.

It was a bright, balmy day upon which I started npon my pilgrimage, and walk ing out of the principal thoroughfare of the city I aoon arrived at the suburbs, where I round myself confronting a stately gateway, upon the arch of which was engraved "The City of the Dead passing through the gate I entered as pretty a spot, I will venture to say, as there is dedicated to the dead in this couniry. The ground is gently undulat ing, and, consisting of hillock and hollow, shows with picturesque effect the hum ble marble head-stone and more T reten tions monument and tomb. Continuing on the road that leads from the gate to a branch that sweeps off to the left and following this for a few paces I stood in front of the object of my visit. [Jpon the top of a mound of earth covered with greensward is a large square tomb. This is divided by a partition running across the oenter into two octfnpartments, and in the froat oneof these can be seen through an iron-barred door, lying lengthwise, a white marble casket, upon which are carved in relief some of our national emblems. This contains, I suppose, a metallic coffin within which lies all that remains of the great com moner. Engraved on the side of the casket are the following noble sentiments, uttered by him who lay within, when that now dismembered body was flushed* with the Are ot life, and when "listen ing Senates hnng upon his tongue." " I can, with unshaken confidence, appeal to the Divine Arbiter for the truth of the declaration--that I have been in fluenced bj no impure purpose--have sought no personal aggrandizement, but that in all my public acts I have had a sole and single eye, and a warm, devoted heart, directed and dedicated to what,in my best judgment, I believe to be the true interests of my country." Lying across the foot of this casket is another of marble, containing the re mains of the statesman's beloved wife.

Not so my elderly friend who calls heaven's vengeance down on the mau who invented hats for women. " The sun never shone on my wife's face in her life," he says, with emphasis. " She wears a sun bonnet." The sun bonnet is the great author and conserver of the Southern complexion. It is one of the Sreat sectional distinctions between the orth and South, never having lost character like the slouch hat. It has its fashions. Women exchange patterns with their friendB and jealously guard them from their enemies, and certain varieties at times rage like the yellow fever. But it is always a sun bonnet, whether of a primitive kind, made of calico and fortified by pasteboard slats, or of corded muslin, transmitting a faint blush of pink or whatever color best suit* the wearer's beauty.--Yellow Spring#, ( Fa.,) letter. Measuring the Perspiration. By means of apparatus constructed specially for the purpose it has been found practicable to measure the amount of prestation in different portions of the human' body. It is also found that the most important element in reference to the atmosphere, in this connection, is its relative humidity--an increase of this relative humidity corresponding to a decided diminution in the quantity of perspiration. Of less importance is the influence of temperature, an increase of this acting not so much directly by in creasing the capacity of the air for moisturq as it does indirectly, by first of *11 bringing about some changes in the skin, increasing the supply of water at the surface whence the evaporation takes place. The clothed arm is found to be subject to variations in the amount of perspiration, which are dependent upon the exterior influences of the air, as is the case with the naked arm; clothing, in fact, does not diminish, but rather favors, the evaporation of water from the surface of the body. r."

QBEBNBACZXapi, t--f-T The^preenback-Labor State Convention of Nebraska met at Lincoln Sept 5. Col. & C. Pane, Chairman of the Greenback State Com mittee, called the convention to order and in a few words set forth the object of the meeting. Among other things, he said the people of Nebraska view with great alarm the increasing power of corporations, and their complete control over the legislative bodies of this State. The people have pe titioned and pleaded in vain for redress, and now they are rising in every part of the State. The Farmers1 Alliance or ganization and the Antl-Monopoly organiza tion have each called State Conventions, to meet at Hastings, to place a State ticket be fore the people. It has been urged that this convention adjourn, to meet at Hastings on the -'?th of this month to unite with the two organizations mentioned in making a State ticket and electing the same. Other speeches were made favoring this course. It was finally decided to meet at Hastings, Sept 27, in Joint convention with the Farm ers' Alliance and Anti-Monopoly organiza tions. J GEORGIA REPUBLICANS. The State Central Committees of the two wings of the Republican party of Georgia met at Atlanta for the purpose of harmonising differences, and after sev eral conferences hjwtfeony was se cured. Tlio wing known as the "Syndi cate" surrendered to the opposition, with drawing its candidates for State House offi cials and tendering its support to the candi dates of the opposition. The two State Cen tral Committees were consolidated into one active body of seventy-five memliers, and DEMOCRATS. The State Convention of the Democrats of Illinois oonvened at Springfield on Thursday, Sept 7. Thebody W*s called to order by j). R GQham, Chairman of the State Central Committee, who introdvfbed the Rev. A. Gross, who offlfced prayer as follows: "O, Lord, we beseech Thee to save us from the devil. O, Lord Q&&, we beseech Thee to save us from the star route and other thieves upon onr public treasury. O, Lord Almighty, we beseech Thee to save us from Republi canism. For Christ's sake. Amen." William A. J. Sparks, of Clinton, was made temporary Chairman, and upon taking the chair declared that the Democratic party wanted no discriminating legislation* (hat it believed in the greatest liberty to the indi vidual man, and would pot attempt to dictate whataman should eat or what he should wear. This anti-prohibition sentiment was loudly applauded. The temporary organization was completed by the election of W. J. Mize, of Moultrie, as Secretary, and assistants as fol lows: J. J. Crowley and Joseph 0. of Cook; J. W. Howard, of Vermillion. After the appointment of the usual committees, a recess was voted. Upon reassembling, the Committee on Credentials reported no representation from eight counties, and a resolution was adopted authorizing any Democrat front those coun ties to cast the vote of the county. The Committee on PeriAanent Organisa tion reported the name of ex-Gov. John M. Palmer for Chairman. Gov. Palmer was de clared the unanimous choice of the conven tion for permanent Chairman. A committee escorted Gov. Palmer to the chair. He de livered a fifteen minutes' speech, denounc ing the Republican party ana applauding the Democratic party. lie appealed for a straight-out position on tne prohibition question--ye3 or no. He wanted no double- dealing™-no word meaning two things. Alfred H. Orendorf, of Springfield, was then nominated for State.. Treasurer by ac clamation. - Henry Raab, of St Clair county, was nominated on first ballot for Superintendent of Public Instruction. The following platform was reported by the Committee on Resolutions The reading was followed by cheers, and it was adopted with a hurrah: 1. That the Democratic party of the State of Illinois, in convention assembled, reaffirm the great principles which are the foundation of free government, among which are equal rights to all privileges to none; protection of the weak against the encroachments and exclusive privileges to none; the strong; eqnal taxation; free speech; a free press; tree schools, and, first of all, a free and incorruptible ballot. 2. That we favor honest reform in the civil service, and denounce the extortion of large sums of money from officeholders to corrupt the ballot and control elections as the most threatening, as it is the most insidious, danger that besets a free government, and the shameless resort to such methods by the National Republican Com mittee and by the Republican repudiation coali tion in Virginia evinces utter abandonment of principle, and meets our unqualified condem nation. 3. That we denounce the reckless extravaganoe and profligacy of the Republican party in the appropriation of the public treasury, as mani fested during the last session of Congress, which increased the appropriations for the current fis cal year ever those of the past year, made by a Democratic Congress, to the enormous extent of S78,000,000. 4. That we extend our heartiest sympathy to the Irish people in the Rtruggle for their rights in which they are now engaged, and recognize in their persistent efforts to obtain their freedom, despite the dungeon and all the other Infamous appliances characteristic of British rule over: Ireland, a love of liberty which is unparalleled in history and sheds a ray of glory upon the Irish national character, commending it to the respect, admiration and support of freedom-lov ing lieople throughout the world. 5. That it is incumbent upon our Government to protect its citizens, native-born and natural ized, at home and abroad, and we denounce and condemn the present Republican administration for its neglect of duty toward those latelv im prisoned as suspects in tbe jails of Ireland by the arbitrary action of the British Government 6. That we are in favor of the reduction of Federal taxation to the lowest point consist ent with the wants of the Government under an honest and economical administration of its affairs, and that such taxes be so adjusted as to secure an equitable distribution of the burdenB. 7. The Republican party of the State has proved false to the pledges it has made to the people; with not a cent of bonded debt against the State, taxes for the past year have been one- third greater than the preceding year. The va rious boards of the State institutions have been used more to advance the interests of the Repub lican party than for the care and oomfort of the unfortunate men, women and ohildren com mitted to intar cuarKe- :ine State officials are surrounded by numbers of un necessary clerks and attendants, whose salaries are paid from the State treasury. The humiliat ing spectacle 4s presented of the Governor of the State saying, in his annual message that the sum of $3,000,000 would be ample to pay all the expenses of the State for two years, and the same Governor approving bills passed by the Republican Legislature appropriating nearly $7,(W0,000 for such expenses, and the large fund received annually from the Illinois Central Rail road Company under the wise provisions of a law effected by a Democratic Legislature, in stead of being utilized to relieve the people from taxation, has been misused as a stimulus to increased extravagance and increased taxa tion. 8. That the officers of the Warehouse and Railroad Commission, now filled by appointment qf the Governor, should be filled by election by the people. 9. That we demand a revision of the present unjust, and in many respects prohibitory, tariff, which is framed in the interest of capital, and, while it favors and fosters iniquitous monop olies, is unjust and oppressive to the laboring man in all the relations of lite. The constitu tion confers on Congress the power to raise rev enue by duties on imports, and as a just and proper exercise of that power we favor a tariff based on the principle of revenue, which will deal justly with existing business relations and with all legitimate industries, and at the same time discourage monopolies and remove the burdens imposed by the present tariff upon all the lalKiring people of the country. And we hereby declare that there is no power given by the constitution to Congress to levy a tariff or tax on the people for the purpose of protection, without reference to revenue. 10. That, while we have no purpose to inter fere with just laws in force in IllinoMttor the regulation of the traffic iu intoxicating liquors, and conceding the right of the people to an amendment, if necessary, of such laws, to pre vent or correct the evils to society growing out of abuses In the use of intoxicating liquors, this convention declares that it is not the legitimate province of government to control the habits, tastes, appetite and liberties of the people s0 long as they are peaceable and orderly, Rnd do not encroach upon the rights of others or of so ciety : and we therefore declare that prohibition, by constitution or by general laws, of the manu facture or sale of vinous, spirituous or malt liquors would be in violation of individual and personal rights, and contrary to the fundamental principles of free government 11. That we appeal to the people of this State, without regard to former political affiliations, to unite with us at the ensuing electionIn carrying into effect the foregoing principles. The State Central Committee at Large was announced as follow: W. G. Mize, of Moultrie; J, H. Oberly, of McLean; S. Coming Judd and Gen. Herman Lieb, of Cook; William H. Green, of Alexander; and J. W.

Tlrnt fr** Stack a* Bcawraiia* Warl4 dVaa *Mk*i» Son.] We see, sometimes, in looking in th* jewelen' show oases, that there is a ne* ahirt-stad invented, which goes through: the gimlet hole In % shirt bosom, in sec tion*, and snaps together, leaving t>h» under side smooth, so that there is no raw selvage to stick into a man's vital parts, the way there is in the old spiral, stud, and we look forward to the happy- fut ire when we can buy a set of the new~ v studs, and give the old spiral stnds ta ttle poor, who have no feelings to be lacerated. We h*ve thought, for years, that the Government ought to call in the old spiral shirt-studs, and issue a new kind, with ooupons that will go together with a snap, bnt nobody has seemed to think tt}e Government ought to take the responsibility. The man who has in vented the new stud should be placed on. the pension roll with the man who in vented the telegraph and the India-rub- ber baby .ekiiihes. There is nothing that has been invented, lately that will prevent as much profanity, unless it is. the water-proof baby clothes, as the new shirt-stud that snaps together. For a hundred years the spiral shirt-stud that screws in has held the etomach of a man in its grasp, and has made sore spots on him, when all should be sun shine, and so forth. It is said women share our joys and our sorrows. That may be do to a certain extent, and they may suffer somet but they don't, know anything About tne honors of the< fcpiral shirt stud. We suppose no man ever put spiral shirt studs in his shirt without swearing that was the last t'mg he would ever use them. To say noth ing of the fact that the hole is alwajfe. filled with starch, and has to be probed with the hind leg of a hair pin before* the stud can be pnt in, the process o£ putting in the stud is full of annoyance. In the first place you screw the studl around eleven times, and think it is- almost in, before it goes in at all, and then the point flips out and you have to- Burrround the hole in the shirt again,, and by the time you have knocked off a. thumb nail, and got the studs all in, the* shirt bosom looks as though two cats. i: had been fighting three or four minnt^*. rounds on it, and on£ of them had been, knocked out of time and into eternity. And after the man has got them in, and: corralled himself in the shurt, the trouble* just oonunences. At one time under- | shirts made with a chilled iron front 1 prevented the spiral from chewing the- | flesh, but late years the iron prowed | undershirLhas been discarded, and meu. | have suffered the tortures of the inqui- . j sition. The spiral stud does not begin to. get in its wont until an hour hat; elapsed, after the shirt is put on. At that time the- bosom of the shirt begins to lose its con- J tour, and falls upon the manly breaafc i with a duil thud, and then the trouble $ begins. The upper stud begins to plow" its way through the chesj, into the* lungs, and it i,s soon seoonded by the- other two, which go on exploring expe- J ditions in search of tbe other Vitals. The» J man seldom complains, but you can se» S by his face that he suffers. Many men are taken for dyspeptics by their friends-, from the pained look always present on. their faceB, when it is not a gnawing at the stomach from disease on the inside,, but a chewing at the outside of the> stomach by a spiral stud. Many mea^ go down to their graves, and never com- - plain, who had their lives made miser able by spiral shirt studs. No man caa -< be cheerful, fnll of fun and irivolifcy.' and. keep a company in a roar of laughter, when he 1b constantly reminded thai- three golden corkscrews are gently but- firmly entering his body from three> different places, that three different- shows are getting in their work under one canvas, at one price of admission. It is asking too much to expect a man to- be entertaining when three artesian wells- are being sunk into his person at once, Women do not mean to be cruel, and to- cause unnecessary pain to man, but it they knew how they send the quivering" arrows to his very soul, in three places,, they would be careful how they throw their heads on men's shirt-bosoms, an& " ! root around to find an easy plaoe to lay_ : Artificial Quinine. . , The various preparations of cinchona. J are the only known specifics for malarial ' poison. So great is the demand for this, drug that it was found necessary to stariA regular plantations in South America, India, Ceylon and Java. The forest- supply would long ago have been ex hausted were it not for these cultivated. ~ varieties of the Peruvian bark, as it is- ealled. But now a distinguished French, chemist, M. Maumeni, announces that.' he has discovered how to make a com* pound not only indistinguishable from this vegetable alkaloid, but possessed of all its medicinal virtues. If he lias ao» comnlished this feat it is one of the mar- ^ vels of modern science, and he will rank, as a benefactpr of his race. The various* preparations of quinine are now very" oostly and often impure, but an artifi cially made, chemically pure preparation of quinine would be nailed by physi cians as a boon to their malaria strfofetj fr.-- patients.
