One bright morning found liim in Huron casting about in a "prospecting" way for »u eligible location. The first man that he accosted was a lawyer, who referred him to a brother attorney, and on he went from one limb of the law to an­ other until he had called upon some seventy-five of these legal gentlemen all new residents. Addressing the last acquaintance he asked if there were any more lawyers in there that he had not met. "Yes, there are more than eighty that you have not met yet." "Do you suppose I could find a peac- able and respectable person in this city that is not a lawyer ?" "That would be hard to do, sir, but you could not sling your hat thirty feet without hitting some fool lawyer in the face."

Simultane­ ously a catamaran sail-boat scudded into the East river from the foot of Twenty-fourth street The race between Ezra Daggett's horse, Boston, and Frederick Hugher cata­ maran, Jesse, to Stony Creek, Ct, ninety miles awav, for $l,0ty a side, had begun. Trainer Schenek followed Daggett in a square-box buggy. When the trainer putted r# on bis tired nag in front of the Huguenot Hotel in New Rochelle at 7:80 o'clock in the morning, he had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Dag­ gett hop nimbly up behind Boston and whirl away. The owner ha~ in half an hour refctedfhls horse and refinshed him- aefc The groom saM that Boston had not turned a hair th his jaunt of eighteen miles.

It had bet $2,500 variously on the race. At 1 :<W p. m. a reporter who had gone to Bridge­ port by ra l saw Boston approaching in a cloud of dust Half of the dust belonged to Mr. gchenck's horse. Boston had oome the forty-four mile3 from New Rochelle in six hours and three minutes. The distance of twenty-three miles between Stamford and Bridgeport was trotted in two and a quarter hour a It was a race nearly all the way. A great crowd gathered at the stable. The wind had shifted to the Bouth since 10 o'clock, and was now favoring the boat. At 1:46 o'clock the horses turned their heads toward New Haven. The sun was blazing down. They were soon covered with foam, but the road was fine, and they got over eight miles to Milford in thirty- eight minutes. City folks in the summer residences, who knew the New York horse was to pass their way, were out looking for it Beiore the travelers reached New Haven they were almost certain that the boat was ahead of them. A steady southerly breeze had been bio w ing for live hours, and must have carried the boat beyond New Haven, barring au ac­ cident, but they urged the horses on. It was (.i:30 p. m. when Boston trotted through Water street. New Haven, past the railroad station, with ten miles yet to go to Stony Creek. He was going about tix miles an hour. Here Mr. Daggett got word that he had lost the race. The catamaran had passed New Haven at 2:80. Ctosslng Tom- linscn's bridgre, the cool breeze from the harbor struck Hoston and chilled him to the bone. He dropped into a walk, and lb*. Daggett halted under a clump of trees and rubbed him down and poured a few drops .of spirits down his throats He rallied and spun over another mile to the Four Corners House,reaching it a little after 4:80. A telephone message announcing ths arrival of tne catamaran at Stony Creek, greeted Mr. Daggett, here, and he rested his h )rse until 7, and then drove leisurely to Stony Creek, arrivimr there at 8:45.

It is well known that the constitution of Ohio prohibits the licensing of Baloons, and the olause waa ratified by the temper­ ance people in the expectation that its adop­ tion would put an end to the liquor traffic in that Stttbe. Such waB not, however, the case, as under the organic law of the»i?tate there was no power to restrain the sola of liquor, and it ran t riot In April last the State passed what was known as the Scott law, which authorizes an annual assessment upon fS business of liquor sell­ ing.

The Czar and the Vatican. An understanding has been arrived at between the heads of the respective churches of Greece and Home The two churches were formerly a unit, but as early as 482 A. D. dogmatical differences sprung up between them, which gradually threw them more and more apart, until July 16,1054, when the Schism was completed Various proposals nave since then been proposed and rejected for a union of the two churches again, the last being that of Pius IX,, when, in 1848, he invited, oy an encyclical letter, the entire Greek church to a corporate union with Borne, which proposition was rejected with acorn. There is, however, in the Greek church a faction that hopes and prays for such a union, which embraces home of the nobility and societies of the Greek Church. That a modut vivendum has been agreed upon by the heads of the East­ ern and Western churches is, in view of their past histories, very significant Under t&ls concordat the Russian Government re­ tains the right of Inspecting seminaries, supervision in the appointment of teachers, and the education or Catholic children in the Russian language, history and literature, and abrogates the harsh measures declared against the Catholics in 1864. For the first time in many centuries, the chasm between the Eastern and Western churches seems to be closing. Assisted Emigration. Our Government has at last taken decided action to prevent Great Britain from un­ loading her paupers in this country. Having tried every possible means, except those of humanity and justice, to restore peace to Ireland under her tyranny, Great Britain began some hftmths agtf Urahip the pdorof that country to this, in the hope that by re­ ducing the population there would be less demand for land, fewer paupers to support, and an element of political disquietude banished from the island. In May last sev­ eral vessel loads of pauper-Irish landed in Boston. Gov. Butler called the attention of the Secretary of State to the matter, and quietly since then has it been investigated. The result is that enough proof has been procured to sustain the charge that Great Britain is paying the passage of emigrants from Ireland to this country. The subject was brought up for consideration at a meeting of the Cabinet on Tuesday, and under the direction of the President Secre­ tary Folger instructed the Collector of Cus­ toms in New York to prevent the landing of all immigrants found to be paupers within the meaning of the law. Some of those who have been donated to us are taken from the workhouse and are usually persons well along in years, with large families, which have been and are the subjects of public charity. On the same day tnat this action was taken by the President the telegraph Informs us that there were then waiting transportation from Queenstown to the United States 100 persons from the Linnford Union, most of Vhom have been taken from the workhouse. While it is true that we have always prided ourselves that our land waa-the asylum for the oppressed of all nations, we have never favored compulsory immigration, although the voluntary- immigrant, rich or poor, has iilways been welcome. Our Government has once before had to adopt similar re­ strictions iik^he case of Italy, which began sending us her paupers and criminals. The return of a ship-load or two put an end to the trouble, and such will be the case of Great Britain Let her deluge her dominion of Canada with these people if the depopu­ lation of Ireland is necessary to the tneser- vation of the United Kingdoms.

Number •# t>«opl» Prowind. teem Glasgow, Soottead, my the steamship Daphne tipped ovsron her site, oapalaed apd sans in nilililisani while being launched in ths Clyde. About 100 persons perished. The vessel, with up­ ward of 900 workmen aboard, left the ways at a very rapid rate. As she gained the water she rolled from side to side When opposite Renfrew, about live miles above this city, the human freight was seen rush­ ing to and fro. The ship gave a furious lurch, rose elear above the water and disap­ peared as if by magic. Those who luklolung to floating pieces of the wreck did their utmost to save their drowning comrades Eye-witnesses saw a great number struggling and shrieking for help. Many were bruised and covered with blood, having been struck by the debris. Boats were pulled hard to aid in resetting the unfortunates; many wore thus saved. A number of mm. at the ship's yard, on the opposite side of the river, witnessed the disaster, but were unable to render any as- siatance. They immediately set to work saving the people struggling in the water. They say some of the men on the steamer jumned overboard and others were thrown overboard and that a quantity of loose fit­ tings fell from the deck and crushed many unfortunates struggling in the water. A number of swimmers were visible directly after the ship capslxed, but many of them were afterward seen to sink. Six men were eeen clinging together. Four endeavored to climb upon the steamer as she was sink­ ing, but were forced to desist by rush of steam from the port-hole. Some climbed upon the keel just before the ship was sub­ merged Many who were dashed into the water swam ashore Several of those picked up were so exhausted that it was found neces­ sary to remove them to hospitals. According to the stories of witnesses and survivors, the vessel left the slip too rapid­ ly, causing her stern, which entered first; to sink deeply in the water. She was then caught by the strong current of the river, by which, aa well as her topweight, she was caused to keel over so far that the water entered her port. She had all her machin­ ery aboard when launched. She is now completely under water. She was con­ structed for coast trading, and was of 500 tons burden. Crowds of stricken relatives lined the quays all day. Whenever a dead body was taken out and recognised heartrending cries drowned the splash of busy oars. A later despatch says: A diver reports that the bodies in the hold of the Daphne are so closely packed that he was unable to move them. Preparations are being made to raise the vessel Fifty-two bodies have been re­ covered. It is now estimated that 150 per­ sons were drowned by the sinking of the Daphne MEXICAN RAILWAYS.

FISH TALES. A JEJRSEYMAN caught an eel in a small creek and found inside of it a sleeve-button which he had lost some years before THERE is in Lake Tahoe an immense fish which jumps up out of the water, seizes the bowsprit of vessels in its mouth, snaps them oft, and disappears. FISH are so plentiful in the Hackensaak river that they appear to be crowded for room. It is not an uncommon sight to see them swim up alongside of boats and mute­ ly plead to be taken in. A LONG ISLAND angler threw in his line the other day, and fastening it to a stake went home to dinner. When he returned the weight was so great that he was compelled to call for assistance. Hauling up the catch he was surprised to find that there was only one immense catfish, but on cutting it open he discovered another fish which, when dis- •wallowed tbe hook. 7; v; * nt 5 were, on to exactly UM people take him to ba, butthat he always gives value reeeived, and in ex- change farsKTlMSeefei • dose of quinine, or a mtwtftatofor aHir nine, into jwur system at the moment that lie taps yarn epidermis for a straight drink. Perhaps there is a grain of truth in this interesting and sensational state­ ment. We know for a fact thtil th* favorite luumts of the mosquito are usually located in swampy, malarial districts, where stalk the ghostly chills, dumb yet eloquent agues, indolent livers and torpid spleens. We know that, because we have been there- ourselves and have sampled them. And the mosquitoes sampled us at the time, but we didn't have the least ide». in the world that we were swapping-" blood for quinine, although we didM notice that in these localities, sur­ rounded with such malign and depress- ing influences, the average mosquit<>- waxed fat and monumental in avoirdu­ pois. The man, woman or child caught- prowling in this vicinity, and a long- way from a regular, practicing physi­ cian, with a sheep-skin diploma, saddle-* bags and a cross-cut saw, is in moment­ ary danger of being seized with a con­ gestive chill, and suddenly ushered intoi the dim, uncertain hence without benefit of clergy or the prompt and expensive services of a red-nosed doctor, or even a journeyman medical sharp who has a* large and lucrative practice--to get. In such an emergency the philanthropic; mosquito comes to the rescue, antL while you are stamping^slapping, fight­ ing and swearing, the medical mosquito- is busily engaged in saving your life with liis little hypodermic injections of quinine, and you never once thank liim, or ask him to call again in the morning- and see how you are getting along. One of the chief peculiarities of the. whole business is that the medical mos­ quito settles his bill before he prescribes. That's where he is sharp--sharper than, a serpent's tooth, for he would ever have* a thankless patient, even if he got away without being busted up in 'the medica'L Srofession. Of course, this practice of leeding is no new tiling in medical science, but we doubt if any of the- numerous schools of medicine have ever adopted the practice of injecting quinines at the moment of the removal of the* blood. But, after all, there are other and rather more seductive ways of taking- quinine than through the mosquite. , Up in Arkansas, for instance, they have* a happy faculty of compounding thf* disagreeable drug with another an<t jnore powerful stimulant, renowned* throughout the country for its sudden- oecs in effecting surprising results, and hailed from the Rio Grande to Moose- head lake under the assumed names of "Parole," "Old Crow," "Sour Mash," "Liquid Crime," "Calamity Sirup," "Sheep Dip," "Snake Cordial," etc.* and as a disguise for quinine it beats • Mr. Mosquito, M.

It was the lecture or ser­ mon that,, at stated periods, was de­ livered exclusively to the Indian women.. An important member of the tribe, the* big chief or the medicine man, would select a promontory or island remoter Mil) the mainland, and paddle there, solitary and alone, on a line*day. Soon all the squaws would be seea following him, paddling vigorously to-,, ward the common point. No bucks were among them; they all remained, on the mainland. The preacher, in­ structor, exhorter, or whatever he was,, often stood in the water up to his knees- for a full hour or more while he deliv­ ered his discourse; but the squaws and Indian maidens gathered as close> around him as their canoes would per­ mit, so as to catch every word that fell from his lips. Savonarola was never more in earnest than this dusky preach­ er; his face and action showed he- realized the importance of his word. He was supposed to be instructing the- women as to their proper duties in. their savage life; but whatever he said, they were eager to hear it all. There" was no noise save the occasional chafing of one canoe against another as they moved with the slight swell of the< • water. It was an exciting spectacle to- see dusky women, when the service Vras over, s :art in an emulative race for the mainland, their dark sinewy arms plying the flashing paddle as the white canoe cut swiftly the placid waters of the sound until with laughing banter the prows touched the shore and they rejoined the bucks, who were idly awaiting them.
