Recently a committee of citizens, under the lead of a Sheriff, went in search of the out­ laws, and at different times found them and exchanged shots with tnem. Two of the des­ peradoes were lulled, and the others were captured. Two mem tors of the attacking force were also killed, and one or two others wound­ ed. This desperate quartette were known as the "Hamilton gang," from the name of their leader, and their depredations have extended over a period of nearly a year A memorial tablet, marking the site of Fort Dearborn, was unveiled at Chicago with appro­ priate exercises in the presence of a large as­ sembly ..

A WASHINGTON dispatch says the " national-bank circulation is higher than ever before, and is steadily rising. It is nearly fM3 ,000,000. Gold-note circulation remains about where it it, because the law limits the circulation of a bank to $50,000. Otherwise it. too, would increase. It is understood that an attempt will be made at the next session to extend the circulation limit so that a bank in California can issue as many gold certificates as it desires. Despite the increase of nationil- fcank circulation, the demand for new notes still continues. New England is the most clamorous." THE exposure of a treasury ring, which has bee a growing fat by a long series of Systematic peculations, is the latest sensation at Washington. The ringsters, so far as un­ earthed, are Upton, the Assistant Secretary; Lamphere, the appointment clerk, and Pit­ ney. the superintendent of the Treasury bonding. The records show the pur­ chase of twenty thousand yards of car­ pet for the Treasury Department during ihe last fiscal year, although a deficit of 700 yards was discovered several months ago. A few local dealers have furnished such supplies at retail prices, there having been no advertise- ®»ents for proposals. In taking an inventory of Pitney's supplies, a barrel of bay rum and a lot of Lubin's perfumes and soaps were found. A WASHINGTON dispatch of May 24 sajB: " Secretary Windom's policy in the mat­ ter of the continuance ef the 5-per-cents is as complete a success as it was with the 6 *s. At the close of treasury hours to-day the total amount of the p. 0,000,000 included in the call tosd bt-erB received. Secretary Windom con- spavuiturs nimself that his views in opposition to the calling of an extra session of Congress "fhssaw mplwhed all that Congress mid have done with much less friction.".... The President has made the following recess appointments : Consuls of the United States --Jesse II. Moore, of Illinois, at Callao: John M.

Fourth district The Postoffice Department j-resent some inter- eating figures showing the amount of mail transmitted by the depaitment last year. They are b*sed upon an actual count of the mail at different postoffices throughout the country in the first seven days of December, 1880. Dur­ ing the year every man, woman and child in the United States wrote an average of twenty- one letters each. The number of newspapers mailed was 812,032,000 Gen. J. A. Williamson, CommisMoiier of the General Land Office, has tendered bin resig­ nation, and will become Land Commissioner of the Atlantic and Pacific Railway Company. THE State Department has been offi­ cially advised of the seizure of the Atelrifcan bark Acacia, of Boston, by the customs author­ ities at; Merida, Mexico, which harbor she en­ tered in distress.

A* a conference of the friends of Mr. Conkling, in New York city, it was decided that both Conkling and Piatt should be vigorously urged upon the Legislature for re-election. It was agreed that neither of the resigned Sena­ tors should return without the other. The be­ lief was confidently expressed that both of them could be returned.--A secret confer­ ence of prominent Democrats, with Speaker Randall at the head, was held in Washington, at which the political situation in New York was carefully considered. They decided to rec­ ommend to the Democratic members of the New York Legislature not to enter into any coalition with either of the Republican factions that will enable them to fill vacancies occa­ sioned by the resignation of Conkling and Piatt AN Albany (N. T.) telegram of May 23, says that city " has become the center of intense political activity. The sensation of the day was an editorial in the Conkling organ warning that gentleman not to place himself in the way of being humiliated. Opinions differ widely as to the connection of Gov. Cornell with the pronunciamento, it being generally believed that he hopes to occupy one of the vacant seats in the Senate. Among the rumors which have gained credence is one that Gen. Grant will hurry northward from Galveston and take a hand in behalf of Conkling. Thirty-two Republicans have signed a pledge not to go into caucus with the supporters of the Senators who abandoned their seats, or with Republicans not in sympathy with the administration. The leading administration candidates are ChaunceyM. Depewand James Wadsworth."...' Senators Cameron and Mitchell (says a Wash­ ington telegram) are very much put out with the President because "he refused to accept their advice and appoint a man thev reooni- meuded as Surveyor of the Port of Philadel­ phia. The President ignored both the Penn­ sylvania Senators and made the appointment to suit himself, but Cameron succeeded in inducing the Senate not to act on the nominations. Both Senators are very angry at the President for his action. A mass-meeting of Republicans who indorse the action of President Garfield was held in Chickering Hall, New Yerk. Ex-Judge Fithian presided. Resolutions were adopted indorsing Kol-crteon's nomination as Collector of the Port of New York, and characterizing the ac­ tion of the resigning Senators as nothing more than a high-handed attempt to usurp tho Presidential functions The Iowa Republican Convention, for the selection of candidates for State offices, will meet at Des Moines, on Wed­ nesday, the 29th of Jane. SENATORS CONKLING and Piatt and Vice President Arthur arrived at Albany, N. Y., on the 24th of May, and were received with enthusiastic cheers by a large party of political friends who had assembled at the depot to give them welcome. At the hotel they were joined by Gov. Cornell, and in the evening a general levee was held. The room was constaiitly crowded, and Senator Conkling shook hands with everybody presenting himself, and to each saying a pleasant word. The Grant Club appeared in a body, and presented an address to Mr. Conkhng.--T tie departure of Secretary Blaine for Ne?v York, on pretense of ofiisial business, caused several influential gentlemen to visit the Presi­ dent and enter a protest against tho adminis­ tration taking part in the Senatorial struggle at Albany. The chief magistrate appeared sur­ prised to learn of the Secretary's trip. IN the New York Senate, Mr. Woodin opened the Senatorial campaign, May 26, by offering a remonstrance against returning Messrs. Conkling and Piatt to the United States Senate, and made an extended speech in support of his action. During the doy Mr. Conkling sent notes to several Senators and Representatives asking for a private interview. A conference with forty-seven members had been arranged by Conkhng, but was postponed because only half the number made their ap­ pearance. The friends of the administration met and resolved not to go into caucus. A pr vate telegram was received by a friend of Conning ffbm Gen. Grant, exprefcaing the hope that the Legislature would re-elect the former. THE local elections in Virginia result­ ed favorably to the straight or anti-Mahone Democrats. The Readj listers have determined, it is said, to nominate Iiiddleberger for Gov­ ernor, believing that he will receive the in­ dorsement and support of the Republicans. GENERAL. THE value of the breadstuff's exported from the United States during the ten months ending April, 1881, was $225,155,801, as com­ pared with (>233,844,387 worth exported during the corresponding ten months of last year. SENATOB SHERMAN lately tendered t# Gov. Foster the amount of tbe hotel bill for the delegates to the Chicago Convention, bat it was not accepted. HON. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS, of Ohio, a colored delegate to tbe Baptist home mission gathering at Indianapolis, informed that body that 30,000 negroes are preparing to emigrate from Louisiana to New Mexico. THE number of people frowned by the sinking of the steamer Victoria, at Lon­ don, Canada, is known to be over 200. A dis­ patch from London of the 26th ult. says the funeral or the vie ims lasted all day and all the preceding night. There were not hearses nor coffins enough to meet the emergency, and vehicles of all kinds were used to convt y the dead to the cemeteries. The behavior of rough characters on board the ill-starred ves­ sel is said to have had much to do with cans- ing the di-aster. The calamity is to be com­ memorated by a monument in a cemetery over­ looking the scene of the disaster. GEN. J. S.

Very serious disturbances are reported in several parts of Ireland, including collisions between the people and police. THE Russian revolutionists are out in another manifesto. They ask that the Csar shall listen to his people rather than to his present counselors, and remove the evils from which they suffer. The <f >mand is surely a reasonable one The Swedish Government is said to be alarmed over -the exodus to the United States, and contemplates restrictive legislation. RUSSIAN social and political affairs | have had their due effect upon trade. Imports of cotton material have diminished from 8 to I 40 per cent. The cloth and iron trade are paralyzed, and Anglo-Russian merchants, tired of waiting for better times, are preparing to leave with their capital for England .The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh had a narrow escape from drowniug at Sidmoutli.

THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION. [From the New York Tribune.] The renewed prosperity of the nation, and the hardships of military service in Europe, are regarded as the principal causes for the in­ creasing tide of emigration which is now set­ ting toward these shores. In 1877 the number of immigrants who came to this country was less than 150,000. Last year the number reached 457,257. Of these 327,871 were landed at the port of New York. Judging from the arrivals at Oaetle Garden so far this year, Superintendent Jackson estimates that the arrivals at this port this year may reach 600,000. The arrivals at this port for the first four months of last year, ana corresponding period of this year, with the countries from which the immigrants come, as shown by re­ turns made to the United States Treasury De­ partment. wen as follows: Four Four montht month* ending ending Hay 1, May 1, yationaHtft*. 1880. 1881.

The rate of increase for New York, however, according to estimates of the Commissioners of Emigration, will probably be greater, aa, owing to the backwardness of the season this year, and the late dates at winch the Scandinavian ports were opened, the tide was kept back. In the first ten days of the present month 27,393 immigrants ar­ rived at Castle Garden, and it is estimated that 70,000 will arrive this month, against 45,578 for the same time last year. On Monday of this week 6,521 immigrants arrived, the largest number on auy day yet this year. Yesterday the number of arrivals was 3,203. The greater part of the immigrants arriving consists of men under 40 years of age, who would Vie subject to military duty if tliey re­ mained in Europe. Of the 109,123 immigrants who arrived in the firBt four mouths of this year 72,773 were men and 30,350 women. In the same time last year the men numbered 54,935 and the women 27,661, the proportion being the same each year. The number of immigrants arriving at this port last year--327,000--was greater than in any previous year. In 1854, 319,223, immi­ grants arrived--the largest number in any year previous to 1880.

Very few im­ migrants now come from Spain, Portugal or Turkey. The German immigrants nearly all bring con­ siderable money with them, estimated on an average from $500 to $2,000 each. Each im­ migrant is estimated to add at least $1,000 to the wealth of the country, in addition to the money he brings with him. At ibis rate the United States will have over $600,000,000 added to ite wealth this year by means of emigration. The poorest class of immigrants come from Austria.--the Sclavonians. Many of them ar­ rive here utterly destitute. 1873.... 1874.... 1875.... 187 6 187 7 187 8 187 9 188 0 Year. 1870..

" Some people think that snakes only shed their Bkins at certain Beasons of the year," said the keeper. "That's ft mis­ take. If they are well fed and kept right warm they change their coats about every eight weeks through the year." " Does it pain them ? " " Not a bit of it. You see the skin of a snake does not increase in size as the reptile grows, as with us. While the old Bkin is getting smaller by degrees, a new one is forming underneath, and the other gradually gets dry. When it is ready to shed, it loosens around the lips, and the reptile rubs itself against the earth or the rock in the cage, and turns the up­ per part over the eye and the lower part over the throat. Then it commences to glide around the glass case, all the time rubbing itself against something until the entire skin is worked off. Sometimes this takes three days ; occasionally they get rid of the incumbrance in a few hours. I don't believe they have a bit of intelligence. For all I feed them and care f<*r them, they would as lief bite me as any stranger. I can handle a good many of them safely, but it's ouly the knack of the tiling--not that they won't bite, but that they can't get the chance." Aa Anecdote of Carlyle. Some years ago a new history of En­ gland, greeted with much shouting, had appeared, and judicious or injudicious friends, thinking to please Mr. Carlyle, asked his opinion of it. " Yes," said he --and the racy dialect, unfortunately not reproducible in print, accentuated his words--"I have read it; that is to say, I took it up, and I saw that here was a young man who had taken pains about his subject, and perhaps knew something about it. But I saw that there was a great deal about the British constitution, and a great deal about liberty, and as I don't care a for the British consti­ tution, and as I don't care a for liberty, I thought it would be waste of time to go further." IT is said that there are. two kinds of girls; one is the kind men like to flirt with, and the other is the kind men like to marry. WATERWAYS. PrtCMilts of tbe Notthwcstmi River mi«l Canal Improvement Con­ vention, at Davenport, I own. The Northwestern Convention in aid of river and canal improvement met at tbe Opera House, in Davenport, ou Wednesday, May 25. There were 379 delegates, representing all the Northwestern States, in attendance. Judge J. H. Murphy, of Davenport, was made temporary Chairman. Col. J. M. Allen addressed the convention. He stated that the survey from Rock Island to Hennepin is sixty-five miles in length, and that the canal can be cut for less than $5,000,000, thus completing a highway from Chicago to the extreme northern boundary of the Northwest. Hon. James P. Wilson "also addressed the convention. He said it was the "transporta­ tion problem" and not simply the construction of a canal that had called them together. Peo­ ple believed that the transportation system was at present too expensive and too unstable, and should be reformed. Waterways were the conservators of cheap and stable transporta­ tion, and those which nature had provided should be kept in the highest state of efli- ciency and supplemented by such artificial ways as were needed to effect a complete system. Such ways were not the swift ones of commerce, but were the maintained of reasonable rates and better prices for products whose value depended on getting to market Transportation by rail had been depended on so largely that the waterway had been noglected, and hence the superb railway system had been a failuro in that it had not produced that standard of equity and fairness ^hich the country of right had expecied. By the creation of an efficient water competition the railway service could be brought to realize what its duties were iu this regard. After the appointment of Committees oh Credentials and Permanent Organization, an adjournment was voted until 3 p.m. On reassembling, the convention was ad­ dressed by the Hon. 3. B. Henderson, who represents the Sixth Illinois district in Congresx. He said the question of cheap transportation from the grain-growing dis­ tricts to the seaboard was the important question before the people of tbe West. He wanted to see direct water communication be­ tween the Upper Mississippi and Chicago. St. Louis and New Orleans must not think the commerce of tho great Northwest could be con­ fined to one beaten track. That trade must take in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Balti­ more, aud other cities. He did not advocate a ship-canal, but believed a water-way ample for present requirements could be constructed for $5,U00,000, or about as much as was paid for a Custom House in any one of the large cities. The practicability of the route from Hennepin to Rock Island had been affirmed by successive Boards of Engineers. Oov. John H. Gear, of Iowa, was introduced, and addressed the convention. He said that they had assembled for a most laudable pur­ pose, having for its object the promotion of tbe welfare of the producers of the Mississippi valley, by devising ways and means to lessen the cost of transportation of the products of the farm and factory. It was true that less than half of the lands in Iowa were under cultivation, yet the resources of 6,000 miles of railway in operation in the State were taxed to their fullest extent last year to move the sur­ plus product. In 1880 from the State of Iowa alone there were exported 52,000,000 bushels of oorn, 9,0J0,000 busiiels of wheat, 12,000,000 bushels of oats, to say nothing of other cereals. There were packed 658,000 hogs in the State, and 2,570,000 were shipped away alive out of the State over six lines of railroads. There were 372,000 head of livo cattle ship(>ed East. With the exception of a portion of the cattle and hogs, the other things were the growth of Iowa alone. From this it would be seen that much depended upon this convention in giving such tone to public sentiment as would best ac­ complish the desirable results to the producers of the Mississippi valley. The Hou. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chi­ cago, came next, and opened his speech by say­ ing that in his opiuion waterways were the only means of regulating freight charges and keep­ ing railroad monopolies within bounds. Two specters threatened the perpetuity of repub­ lican institutions, and the worRt of these was corperale monopoly, which had no boul and never died. Behind this stood a maddened and exasporated people, who might m the end be goaded to destroy tbe whole machinery of gov­ ernment in order to get rid of its excrescences. It behooved mankind fjkfollow the plans of the great Engineer of ^HBgiilBrse, and to digcanals on the lines markedouK lie. Harrison advocated building a ship canal from Hennepin to Rock Island, and deepening the Illinois and Michigan canal. The Committee on Permanent Organization and Rules reported the following as permanent officers of the convention: President, R. S. Horr, East Saginaw, Mich.; Vico Presidents, J. W. Palmer, Detroit; J. L. Switz, New York ; J. W. Chapman, Council Bluffs; George Schneider, Chicago; W. LWalker, Toledo; Charles Seymour, La Crosse, Wis.; John Dement, Dixon. 111.; E. O. Staft- nard, St. Louis; Chu-les P. King. Peoria; C. F. Clarkson, Des Moines; William Pettit, Minne­ apolis; John W. Burdette, Secretary, Burling­ ton. Iowa. Charles A. Randolph, Secretary of the Chi­ cago Board of Trade, spoke at great length on the subject before the convention and in favor of the Hennepin canaL Letters of regret were read from Horatio Seymour, Secretary Windom, Govs. Pillsbnry, Jerome and Cnllom, Senators Allison, McDiil, Saunders, Davis, Logan. Iugalls and Sawyer, and Congressman Farwell. After the appointment by the chair of the necessary committees, the convention ad­ journed for the day. szoosn DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. After the appointment of a Committee on Resolutions, speeches were called for. Ex-Gov. Stannard, of Missouri, complained of some strictures made by the Davenport Gcuette, with reference to the position of tbe SL Louis dele' gates. He denied that there was opposition to the canal project, but' MiRBonri men do not want to see the Mississippi river improvement slighted. They had thought the list of com­ mittees and tbe earlier form of the convention had a little too much Chicago in them. But that was all. Ex-Gov. William Bross, of Chicago, replied to the St. Louis representative, and said Chi­ cago was as much interested as St. Louis in the improvement of the Mississippi. There couli be no difficulty between St. Louis and Chicago. Gov. Stannard had talked about the shipments of wheat amounting to 6,000,000 bushels. That amount would not fill one Chi­ cago warehouse. Iliinoii paid last year 123,000,000 internal-revenue tax, and all she asked from the General Government was 5 per cent, of that amount for the improvement of her waterways. The Hon. Julius C. Starr, of Peoria, pro­ nounced in favor of improving all internal wa­ ter ways and developing all possible highway* of commerce. For this purpi.se the combina­ tion of all interests was needed. It was only by this means that Congress could be brought to appropriate money for improving the rivers and canals of the West. At this point of the proceedings the welcome announcement was made that the Committee on Resolutions was ready to report, and the Chairman, Gen. Henderson, presented tho fol­ lowing : Thin convention, representiiiK the peop'e of the MiMiMlppi vn.lcy and of the Northwest, in pursu­ ance of the call of the convention, «u<t In further­ ance of the purpoBes thereof, unanimously declare: 1. Tbat the Congrean of th.- United State* iihould devlMi by law and sustain by hberal and efficient im­ propriation® a system of cheap transportation by water routes connecting the Mississippi nver and its tributaries with the Kastern Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico. Z That it ban beeu the po icy of Congress aud the derirc 1 i Ihe jMiopie of the Northwest f r many yearn to lcangurato and comp.ete a system of w.iter-chsn- nel improvement, having the Miwis^ippi for its bsse; that, t<» give greater efficiency to ttiis p«i icy, there «houid be constructed from tlis Mit,sit>slp|.l river on the most direct and feasible route to the Illinois river at i le:iuepiu, and tlwnoe to the lake at Chicago, a canal adequate to ihe present and future transpor- alion need* of that treat part of the Northwest to wliose people such a work of internal improvement is an imperative necessity f. r relief from the e«ce«- sivo freight rate* on the produce aud commerce of the country, a:t(I that the work so long needed should be Immediately commenced. S. That the continue J improvement of tbe Misals. sippi river uuder the auspices of the Mississippi River Commission, created by act of Congresn, is a work of great national Importance ; that the Con­ gress of the United States ought to promote that Miheme of improvement by the most liberal appro­ priations, in a separate appropriation and bill there- loij slid that we emphasize ami enforce the united and earnest demand of the pe pie of the entire Mis­ sissippi vailey that Congress shall make prompt and adequate appropriation** for the improvement of Ihe river and its navigable tributaiies from the fallx of St. Anthony to the Oulf of Mexico, and that this convention hss no sympathy with any policy that woti'd depreciate or hinder this great enterprise of making lully navigable and but ding up a great commerce upon this central rivsr--nature's gTeat highway of the continent. 4. That we bail with peoullar satisfaction ths in­ creasing success of the oarge-line system of trans­ portation on the Mississippi aud its tributaries, and the relief it was to the producers and shippers of the MissiesinDi vallcv in the cheapening of Irelgtta. 5. That we hesrttly favor the ptopos'ed cession of the Illinois and Michigan canal and the improve­ ments «u the Illinois river by the State of Illinois, and declare that the Erie caual should be made free of tolls; theietoie, we hope for the early success of the effort* inaugurated to secure the e lesults. The foliowmg resolutions supplemental to the report of tno Committee on Resolution* were presented by Mr. Russell, and adopted: 8. That tlie commission under the auspice* of which this convention has been called be continued, with the proviso that Its membership be enlarged by the selection of au additional member from each Stite represented In this body, which additional member shall be named by the delegates of the re­ spective States, said commission to afterward elect its own officers and mature its own organization. 7. That the commission, when reorganized as con­ templated herein, l>e requested to select two gentia- meu from each Stat*, to present to Congress the ap­ peal for the support to the work of iuternal Im­ provement which is contemplated by the foregoing resolutions. A number of resolutions handed to the com­ mittee were reported back without recommend­ ation and without being read. Mr. Edtiussen, of Davenport, read the reso­ lutions iu regard to the continuance of the canal commission, whloh the committee has not conaidered germane to their work, bat highly approved of. Sam M. Clark, of Keokuk, moved to adopt the report. A delegate from Council Bluffs moved to include tbe words " and Missouri valley" where the word " Mississippi" occurred, Mr. Henderson said the committee had been unanimous throughout, and there had not been a ripple on tbe surface to disturb their har­ mony. Mr, 8tarr, of Peoria, wanted something said about the Copperas Creek and Henry improve­ ments in the resolutions. Mr. Henderson thought it would do BO good for the convention to say anvthing as to the cession by the State of Illinois to the General Government of these improvements. Murrv Nelson, of Chicago, moved to lay the Missouri valley amendment on tbe table. The vote was t akei; on the amendment direct, and it was sustained by a large majority. Mr. Starr's resolution about Copperas creek was carried atuid some confusion. The report of the Committee on Resolutions was adopted unanimously, and the resolutions offered by Mr, Russell were also adopted. Mr. Howard, of Toledo, called up and advo­ cated the passage of the two resolutions in re­ gard to O iio canals. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, opposed the resolutions as inopportune. Lieut. Gov. Campbell, of Missouri, favored, and Mayor Lake, of Minneapolis, opposed the resolutions as not germane. Mr. Grinuell, of Iowa, pleaded for harmony, and asked the withdrawal of the Toledo reso­ lutions. They were voted down by a considerable ma­ jority. After passing the customary resolutions of oonrtesy the convention adjourned sine die. New England Wages. Mr. Carroll D. Wright, of the Massa­ chusetts Bureau of Labor and Statistics, who is said to be a careful statistician, in his recent report gives some interest­ ing facts about lal>or prices and com­ pensation in New Eugland. According to this report, in the mills of Maine men are paid $7.50 a week, and women get only $5.50, while the little children re­ ceive from $2.25 to $5.49, in the woolen mills, which pay the largest wages. One paper mill in Maine pays men $10.50 a week and women $5.50, working seven- two hours a week. In New Hampshire the wages are much lower than those paid iu Maine, aud the operatives are re­ quired to work sixty-six hours in the week. In Rhode Island the wages are a little higher, with 6ixty-six hours of work during the week. In Connecticut operatives work ninety hours a week-- fifteen hou re a day for six days--and the wages are $9 for men, $i.80 for women, $5.10 for male children and $4.50 for female children. The highest spinners' wages are $6. In Massachu­ setts from sixty-three to sixty-six hours of labor a week are exacted, and spin­ ners only get $1.08 a day; the highest class of labor in the mills not exceeding $10 to $12 for the men. Many of these factories are run by water power, and much time is lost during the winter sea­ sons on account of freezes, and of cousse the employes are not paid for the time thus lost. The statistician remarks that ' 'long hours aud poorly paid labor tend to brutalize," and he shows that one manufacturing town in Massachusetts supports 400 bar-rooms. Such is the exhibit of a gentleman who has no rea­ son to misrepresent things, and it pre­ sents facts which are not creditable to the boasted civilization, wealth and gen­ erosity of the New England manufac­ turers.--New York Commercial Ad­ vertiser. How and Where Globes Are Made. It is a fact not known, perhaps, by many readers that Troy is one of the largest and best producers of school and library globes in the country. The manufacture was begun in this city in 1852. At first only a ball live inches in diameter was made, but a ten-inch ter­ restrial globe was soon added. The list of sizes was rapidly increased. The balls are made in Boston, but the ap­ pendages are supplied and the globes mounted and shipped in this citv, where are owned the plates from winch the maps are printed. Globe-making is a skillful and delicate process. The maps are printed in small sections on English drawing paper, and these segments must be so nicely put upon the hollow ball of paper mache that there shall be not the slightest break in the alignment of letters or the continuity of lines when the smooth and painted surface is complete. Three months are,required to construct one of these worlds in miniature from the time that the ball is begun until it rests in its frame or sits aloft upon a brass, bronze or nickel standard. And it must lie so trimmed and mounted that it will have no disinclination to change its inclina­ tion in the frame and will hang so truly in space that it will halt in its revolu­ tion at any time when so commanded and remain motionless, as if its eenter of gravity were in truth equally distant from all points upon the circumference. If the globe refuse to rest with any oth­ er country than America on top, the maker will be deemed more patriotic than skillful. The sizes manufactured for general use range from three to thir­ ty inches in diameter, and from $2 to $225 in price, and are mounted in forty different styles.--Troy 'Times. Atlantic Ocean Patrol. The New York Times makes a good suggestion and asks this question: "Has not the time come for the gov­ ernments of England and the United States to take some action to diminish the risks of oceau navigation? Every municipal government patrols its streets, and there is no good reason why the great ocean highway should not be pa­ trolled. Were England aud the United States each to provide two steamers, the route between New York and Liverpool could be thoroughly patrolled. These government steamers could remove sunken wrecks, warn passenger steamers of the locality of icebergs, and afford re­ lief to shipwrecked vessels. A steamer with her machinery broken down would be towed free of charge by the patrol steamer, and would not, as is too often the case, decline assistance in order to save $30,000 or $40,000 of salvage. A shipwrecked crow compelled to take to their boats would have a reasonable de­ gree of confidence that in two or three days' time a patrol steamer would pick them up, and the owners of a missiug steamer would have good reason to be­ lieve that, were she iu danger or distress help would be not far off.

A terrible calamity, involving the loes of nearly 200 lives, occurred to the steamer Vic­ toria at London, Ontario. "The ill-fated ves­ sel," says a dispatch from London, " with over 600 excursionists on board, was returning from Spring Bank, and, when near the Cove rail­ way bridge, one mile below the city, the boat suddenly collapsed like an egg shell and be­ came a total wreck, level with the water's edge. All tbe passengers were instantly pluuged into tho scream, more than half of them being underneath the debris. The iirst news which rcached the city was brought by survivors, who struggled through tho streets wet and weary. The news foil like a thunderbolt, and a stampede took place for the spot Arriving there, a terrible sight met tbe view. Fifty or sixty bodies bad already been recovered and were lying on tbe green sward some distance up the bank. Those ar­ riving from the city from every direction crowded around, anxious to see if any relatives were on board. Several hundred families were represented on the excursion, and ihe wail at the sight of the victims was heartrend­ ing. Fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters rushed about panic-stricken, endeavoring to identify relatives. By 7 o'clock about eighty bodies were recovered from under the wreck, where the water was twelve feet in depth. Almost every minute some victim was brought to the surface and conveyed to the boat The steamer Princess Louise was early brought to the spot and the victims placed on the upper decks. Fires were lit on the bank overlooking the river, and petroleum torches were brought and the search continued. Up to the present hour about 150 corpsea have been secured. Among the dead are James liobert- son, Manager of the Bauk of British North America; J. C. Meredith, Clerk of the Division Court; Wm, McBride, Assessor and Secretary of the Western Fair Aoaociation; Mrs. Wm. Aahbury, Wm. Millman, Montreal, commercial a^eni, and two sons of J. Rogers, plumber. Mr. Matthews, night editor of the Adver­ tiser, lost his wife and two children. Harry Smart, of the Free Press, lost wife, two chil­ dren and a sister-in-law. The wbole city seems almost demented to­ night The accident was entirely due to gross carelessness. The boat was overcrowded to a disgraceful extent The manager, George Parish, was expostulated with by several at Spring Bank, and urged not to let the boat go oat in that overcrowded condition, but he is reported to have replied, "All right, I know my business,'" or something of that sort Tl»e SMry «f the DlnanUir, from Be­ ginning to End. [London Telegram to Chicago Tribune.] Tuesday, the day of the horrible catastrophe, was the anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth­ day, and the great bulk of the people closed up their houses and went off for a day of inno­ cent enjoyment. Several train loads took their departure for the lake shore at Port Stanley, others to Windsor and Sarnia, and about 2,000 went to Springbank, being carried thither by the three excursion steamers owned by the Thames Navigation Company. The day was pleasantly enjoyed in the customary recreations of a rural picnic, and, toward 5 o'clock, the homeward rush began. The rotten Victoria wax the first boat up, and the rush to get on board and reach the city before sapper-time was tremendous. Several people protested against tbe Captain of tbe craft allowing so many people to board her, but he was deaf to all entreaty, and allowed all who could iind a placo whereon to hang to come along. Groaning under the weight of t?ome 600 people, who kept moving in masses from one side to another, the boat had a hard time oi it. The main deck was packed so tightly that it was with difficulty that one could elbow his way ; yet at times tho mass of humanity would, as it were, congeal together, so an to leave a small vacant space, sometimes on one and sometimes on tho other side of the deck. The hurricuiie deck also was crowded, but here there was none of tbat swaying back and forth, which marked the crowd below. A few adventurous spints sought the seclusion of the boiler-deck and the engine-room, where they smoked their cigars and watched the movement of the ma­ chinery. All went well, or, at leant,, prehuma- bly, until a bend in the river was reacht d, about 200 yards below the Cove railroad bridge, aud there the day of pleasure turned into a dies irie. About 7 o'clock some persons arrived in the city with a wet and generally used-up appearance and spread the intelligence of what had befallen the Victoria, luimors of all kinds began to spread like wildfire, but it was not for some minutes that the full significance of the news was realized. Then the general stampede for the river backs, in which the en­ tire city seemed to join. Every road leading to the fated spot had its line of people of both sexes, hurrying thither in a state of frenzied anxitty, some sobbing hysterically and ques­ tioning every one in their flight as to the fate of friends and relatives, whom they knew to have gone down the river. As eacli one ar­ rived on the river bank overlooking the wreck and saw the ghastly upturned faces of the dead who had been taken out and laid upon the sod, or looked out upon the shattered hulk which lay in fragments on the water, they gave vent to piteous exclamations of grief: "My God! such a sight I have never looked upon!" said one. "This is a dark day, indeed, for London!" exclaimed another. "My wife and child! Where are they'/" "Oh, God, restore my little ones!" were prayers heard on all sides. Oil tbe wreck brave men, streaming with perspiration, and strong in their noble purpose, were working like heroes iu recovering the bodies which lay underneath the shattered boards and timbers, and, as one after another were brought to the surface aud carried tenderly to tho green sward to add to the ghastly row, the crowds pressed forward eagerly to scan the features. Their faces lit with a strange anxiety. Here was some be­ reaved father or brother, clasping the limp form of a beloved daughter or sister, giving vent to their emotions in wails of anguish; there some mother or sister lamenting over the corpse of a son or brother, like Itacliel weeping because they were not. Here and there knots of men worked vigorously to restore to life some beloved relative, practicing all the arts known to them, rubbing the hands and applying clothes heated at a neighboring fire,* but all to no purpose. Vitality would not re­ turn, and the sorrowing friends gave up in de­ spair. Meantime the work of rescuing went on, and the list swelled and swelled until it seemed as if the end would never come. As dusk deepened into the night the soene became more weird and terrible. Fires were lit upon the bank, shedding a lurid and fitful glare over the water, and showing the dreadful outlines in their most sinister aspect The work of recovering the bodies was entered into with a heroic spirit by those who arrived early on the Bcene. Merchants, lawyers, workmen and all classes pluuged into the water, aud, borne up by rafts, began to hand the lifeless forms of the drowned ones out to those on the shore. Resuscitation was tried with all who were res­ cued within one-half hour, but only in one or two instances were the efforts successful. During the silent watches of the night, and by the lurid glare of wood-fires and petroleum torches, the work of rescuing the frmfins of the drowned was carried on. horses.
