It was in the old stone house on Quackatog Ilill, where the Palmers h: d lived time out of mind; one generation after another moving out u> ine graveyard a uiue higher on tlie hillside, where the long grass waved and nearly hid the tombstones of John, or Daniel, as the case might be?and Ilannah, "His wife," :md Lois, his wife, and Ab'gai), his wife. It was a good omen t'.at the sun shone--the hills and valleys in front of the oil home;tead were golden green in its rav-, and tin water of the Sound fai: ly g isle it d toward far away Block Is'unil. Through the windows of the parlor c.une the sin"11 of mignonette and the ; tId fashioned Southern wool. No llowers had be.in gathered to make the wedding gay, but the nasturtiums crawling all over the old st'-ne wall tossed their bright heads and lo.>k"d in while Eider Howe made of this wain one llesh. Xone but the elder had good wishes for Mary?rahner and Robert Churchill excel t, indeed, little lame Danny, who had be< n his s'ster's pet, and who clung to Ji r liana. Tliev w re wen matched in ap; e.iran- e. Mary, with a ; lair, refined face, down which some j ? very bitt r and un'iridelike tears were j stealing, and l'ol ert, with clear, hon-! est eyes and the broad chin that lietokens strength and decision of character. "What was the trouble? It was the j love of m< n v. As young Churchill 1 a 1 no farm, present or prospective, he was in old 1. aniel Palmer's mind no | match for his daughter. Then, too, j his father had been poor. "Never 1 acl no faculty Tor gitting ahead," (irandi a Palmer said; so when he died, soon followed by his wife, the boy was left with only enough to give him a good common-school education, and take care of him until he could take care of himself, for which he early showed a disposition. Marv and liobert had been lovers i from childhood; hand in hand they had gone to school, long summer afternoons they had spent gathering blueberries in the rocky pastures, and their engagement might have developed into the old-fashiontd twenty-years' waiting had it not been for the appearance on the stage of o!d Peter Stantou, who, having mourned two months for his second wife, thought Mary Palmer a good one to succeed her. As he was strongly favored by the j family, poor Mary's life was made j miserable, until Robert, who could illy I endure se< ing her unhappy, or the con- j tempt with which he w.is treated, pro- j posed that they should marry immediately, and was so determined that he j carried the day, old Daniel granting, that they might be married in his house, but declaring that no darter of i his who would rather marry a beggar than a well-to-do mar. should have a ' ceat of his money. Xo wedding preparations were made, ancl Mary, putting in order her few dresses, and remembering that when her sister married the stupid son of a neighboring | furmer that much was given hor, | and all .helped, feit bitterly that sh \ was unjustly treated. They were to go to a neighboring village for a week, and, a* the wagon which was to take them to the depot rattled up to the door, the l ather strode moodily away. George, the "ne'er-dowell" son in whom the/heart of the mother was bound, had not honored the marriage with his presence. Mary, leaving a good-bye for him, and kissing the ethers, turned to her mother, and f?ung her arms round her neck. OUv-wutWr," she said, "you will be glad to see me when 1 come back? won't you?" For a moment the mother's lips trem' led, and she kissed her daughter warmly; th;n, hard n:ng again, she said: "Of course, M it, 1.^11 ,.!?,/! +/> AAA If/Ml Ktlf V.!ll I >VC UC f^iciu tu ocr jyru, uut ao urn have made your led you mus- lie in it. You could lave ple;tsed us all."' Mary turned, and with one hand held by lier husband and the other by her faithful little brother, went down the walk and out of the g te. It was years before she entered it again, then, laying her hand upon it, there came vividly back the feel ng of being shut out from home 1 y a tlaining sword. When a few miles from home these young people began to talk of their iuture. As Mary said " When we g> back?" Robert gayly interrupted her, "But will we go back; why need we go ) ack, Marv?" And as she looked bewildered, he c ntinacd: '-I have thought mil h a', out it. They have been unkin l and iut.,ust t'> us. With my best efforts it v.i.l be \\ars before I can make a home for you as g >< d as the one I Iiuvj tak n you from, and if I fail it would be t?.* hear ' I told you so' on all side.-. I.e: us go away from them ail and light the battle of life. Others have succ.edcd; why cannot we?" ' But v. here sha 1 we go ?' faltered Mary. "Go? Where shall we go?

Well, let us go to ^ Chicago; perhaps there will lie room for just one more couple.

Hut this momentous question of our life must be decided soon, and you must decide it, my darling, for you have all the sacrifices to make. I have my world with me?in you." Mary turnel her face toward the window and thought intently.

She was re-! fleeting with gratitude that upon this smail amount they could live, and be independent, when Robert rushed in, (lung his hat in the air. and declared that their fortunes wtr.* irade. lie had a place in the office of a Mr. Love { at $50 a month. "Y<u were right,; Mary, it was the unlucky old penny, j 1 paid it away in paying the rent, and j now we are all right. Hut the business? Oli! Mr. Love is on the board of trade; deals in hogs and lard." " Tut if you are there, won't you gamble away our bread and dinner?'; laughingly asked Mary. " Well, I don't think I shall specu-l late heavily on what is left of $50, j after the living i< paid, but I will promise not to at all?until you say I may." As Mary laid awake that n'giit for pure joy over their brightened prospers, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell Robert of her, engagement to go ta-^work the next i morning. SJi>~concluded not to tell him; it would only <lainp;-n his happiness, and she must ke:*p her wo.d and go, if only for a f-w weeks. Then, too, .she had a plan for their anniver 1 nr.ilh'n IiuP f A I VQ. sary, ?u;i uus ?uu.u v ??v? cute it. There could be no wrong in such a secret.

"Ii'I tru>t you, can you trust your-: : elf?" she a-k d. "I'll try for a while," he said, but! the late hours and abstract'.d manner : still continued, and Mary was glal, at'itu^h it was th"ir first separation.! when he was sent into the country by i the firm for a w< ck.

The next day was .Sunday, and no m.?re t! ankiul hearts ever entered a church than these, doing home through the quiet streets that lovely June morning they met two pertly and well-to-do citizens, one of whom said : | ."The while effect of the corner business is demoralizing." "Yes," an- j swered the other, "bad, bad for every one." Two pair of happy eyes met each other's sympathetically, and a soft v. ic.i murmured out: "I. say, bles ed be the lard corner Six years afterward Mr. and Mrs. Robert Churchill revisited their h-me, the fame of Mr. Churchill as a successful business man having preceded him. He received the warmest kind of a welcome, a ul bis two pretty children, and their sweet and gra ious mother, her dresses and her diamonds, won unqualified .admiration. They appeared t) concern themselves very little about it, acting like a pair of lovers, and going again together through the fields to the old schoolhouse. One evening, as Mary waited in the parlor of the old stone house for her husband, Grandma Palmer said: " Mary, I never thought your husband would turn out such a likely man. He is a good deal better than George, who took all that money, and your father ha! to sell this oil house, that the Palmer's had live I in so many hundred years, to pay it.

A Utter from Sandusky, Ohio, to the Cincinna'i Enjiiirtz bays: Fannie Mills lias the biggest feet'inthe world, so far as known, and they are still growing. Your correspondent came here on purpose to see the wonderful s-igh\ which would, under ordinary circumstances, be a v<ry indelicate proceeding. Fannie Mills is tweniy-iwo years old, and r si !es on the dairy farm of her father, (ieorge Mills, two miles from Sandusky. Your correspondent called at the Mills horn* at eveniug, and the head of tlie household was standing in the yard. II is greeting was kindly and lie i ntered into conversation 0:1 the subject of his daughter's big feet. He laughingly remarked that people generally didn't Lelieve the seemingly incre lible stories concerning Fannies immense pedal extremities, but to prove t tat they were really to large he invited the reporter into the house to see f< r himsi If. The young woman was called by h r father and wabbled, rather than walked, into the front ioom. She w ore a long gowp, which was scarcely sufficient to hide the deformity. She sat down in a chair and exposed her feet to view. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the marvelous sight. S e removed her shoes, and then great wnuo pwuw casea, vyuiuu were worn as stockings. The feet look like two immense hanis. The toes are irregular and the little toes are r. presented by two little kno! s. There are no toenails, although the places where they should be are < 1 arJy defined. Your cjrrenj ondent un 1< rtook the delicate task of measuring the feet. The right foot is one foot mx inches in length, and the left one inch shorter. Over the instep of the right foot is twenty-one inches, and over the other one inch less. The big tue ol' the left foot is eleven inches in cireumfenn e. The right foot is longer than the left by an inch, but the latter is heavier and thicker. The feet are respectively seven and eight inches wide. From tuis actual measurement of Fanny Mills' feet any one can j readily imagine what marvelously large shoes she must wear. Heretofore they have been manufactured in ! Albany, X. Y., but a Sandusky shoe firm has the lasts and a pair of shoes on ' exhibition, whicn have attracted great 1 "HutiUnn Uorfnet luivf. increased in size since the display in the shoe store ; window was made. | The l.'ft slu e is 1G.\ inches long, the right eighteen inches fn length; the left is seven and one half inch< s wide and the oth- r eight inches. The right instep of th? shoe measures l'J? inches, and the left 17J inches. Fannie Mills weighs 10.> pounds, and, although delij cate looking, .' ays she has goorl health. It takes two calf hides to make her a pair of slices, and all her vitility goes to sustain her massive limlM and feet. The girl hai unusually large feet when she was horn, and t!r*y h ive continued to grow aiarmingly f ist ever since. ... ?? ?

Foreign News. A syndicate of Ijondon nnd continental bankers has been formed to obtain the recognition of Confederate bonds, and to force the Southern States to pay the holders of these bonds at least in part. About $:i0,C00,C00 of these bonds are deposited in a London safe deposit company and more are expected; and the syndicate expects to bQ paid a certain percentage of the proceeds if they effect a compromise with the Southern Slates. According to tie New York Herahl correspondent who sends an account of the formation of this syndicate, a gentleman well acquainted with its plans says in respect to its methods of operation: " The syndicate hope to hold this great mass of bonds a3 a constant cloud against the crodit of the South and in opposition to any enterprise, no matter what it is, that comes from the Southern States. They say that already in this market, for years past, whenever a Southern enterprise has made its ap pearance this mass of discredited securities has been thrust in the face of the Sonth, and in such a way, though not then in a consolidated form as now, as to have been a constant nnd terrible obstacle to Southern advancement. Now, they say, the obstacle will be more heavily felt than before." The Herald correspondent says that the syndicate " expects to get in $103,000,COO, and if it can succeed in obtaining twelve per cent, a pettlement with the bondholders would leave three and a half per cent., or $3,500,000 a9 the share of the company."

James Cabey, the Irish informer in the Phtnix park ca^es, was shot dead while landing from a steamer at Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The murder was committed by a fellow-passenger of Carey's named O'Donnell, who was arrested. The English government had taken special and expen. sive measures to protect Carey. O'Don tiell had dogged Carey from London. The in- ' former was traveling underan assumed nam6 with his family. News of his shooting created ! intense excitement in Loudon and Dublin, j A large crowd gathered av. night in front of James Carey's house, in Dublin, cheering loudly because the informer had been killed.

Clairvoyance. Almost every physician, during the eoursj of hi? professional life, hears stones regarding clairvoyance. Sjine individual lias had a vision or dreamed a dream which is subsequently found to have represented, most marvelously, actual objects or persons that were at the time far away. An organization in London lias be. n investigating t'.ie alleged plienoimna (f this class, endeavoring to apply scientific methods to their study. The Nit.eUeuth Century and the Fort niyltthj Review have at different times I j:ii 1?]isliccl some of the results of this I work. Quite recently the latter journal has publish d an article by Mr. Edmund Gurnt'y a-id Mr. Frederick W. M. Myers, claiming very positively that the mind may at certain times ba capable of receiving impressions through other channels than those of this various senses: in other words, that tli so-called clairvoyance is an actual physiological fact. As an example of the class of phenomena alleged to be re;il, we append the following : "One Sunday night last winter, at 1 a. m., 1 wished strongly to communicate the idea of my presence to two l'riends, who resided about three mile3 from the ho.tsc where I was staying. When I next saw them, a few days afterward, I expressly refrained from menti ming my experiment; but in the course of c nversation one of them faiil, 'You would n.;t believe what a strange night we spent hut Sunday,' and then recounted that b;?th the fr.ends had believed themselves to see mv figure standing in their room. The experience was vivid enough to wake them completely, and they both looked at their watches, and found it * --1-1 /Slut * l.nOA to be exacny j. o chick, t wuc ui hic.-jo friends has supplied independent testimony to this circumstance.)'* We have ventured to furnish our readers this account of the work of these gentlemen because of Ihe strong indorsement that lias been given to it, and because of its important physiological and pathological signiih anco. If it could be proved that the mind can perceive through oth<r agencies than the senses,-it would establish a f iet which would antagonize the pr seat physiological theories (ba<ed upon evolution) of the development of those senses ; for it is now believed that tli -y were developed in order to enable the animal to adapt himself t > his en\ ironment. They were mad:) by the environment primarily, rather than for it, and in the history of animal evolution there are absolutely no data which enable us to account for the development of a supersensual perceptive now e r.?Midihi I li> >o ril. The Gradual Cooling- of the Earth. In a "Treatise < 11 Natural Huh sophy," by l'rofe-;sors Sir W. Thomson and 1\ (r. Tait, Sir W. Thomson, speaking of an opinion advanced by >ir Charles I,yell, respecting the possible nviint-.Misiiicfi of the earth's heat with out change throughout countless ages, use 1 words which, says A'tto/rlerfyr, may be applied without change of a word t'J the stupendous theory a Ivanced by Sir (.'.

The earth is necessarily cooling from century *to century; her volcanic 'energies are certainly diminishing, as certainly, to use an illustration of Sir W.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania, true to ' the fundamental faith of their party, re- | nssert their belief in a strict construction j unci rigid enforcement of the Federal Cjnsti- | tution. Theyupht/.J me hur.ctitv cf personal libertv. the security of private propoity nnd I; the lights of local self-government.

They believe in fuch taxation of tin . people as is reciui:-ite for the necessities of ; tho governm-r.t ic >nomicallv administered, j and t' at import duties should be so adjust.-d , in thei r application as to irevent in?r,ual b.irdens, encourage prcdi ct.ve industries at: , home and afford just comj eisitlon to 1/ bor, j ' but net t> create or !o; er monopolies. Trey | J denounce i he proposition of -h? Rei ub i an', patty th-1 the i eop e si o i!d le ta\<d . to rni50 a surplus tm l for the Federal : , government to distiibutj an ong the > { Slates. The p:o;>.'e shoild only I be taxed so much as is absolutely indis- I . justifiable for the fruitnl coiuluct of their nf- , fairs, not one cent for surplus and no unnecessary taxation. The existing surplus in | ( the treasury should be faithfully applieJ to i j the payment of the public debt. The money j . not needed for the expenses of the govern- J ment should remain in the poe'eets of the j people. To this end we favor the entire abo- > ! lition of the present syft3m of internal I , taxation as a measure of relief de- j manded by the people from an unneces- j sary and unequal burden. They demand that j the government should redeem r.ll its express | and implied obligations as to the coinage, ( that it shall maintain and defend the dignity ( of Ameiican labor and the rights of Ameri- , can Citizens at home and abroad, They in- f sist on resening t ie public lands for actual ? settlers, not anct'ier acre lor corporations,! and they further declare that?

Second?The ecor.onies enforced by the Democratic house of representatives in the departments of the State government which have passed und jr Democratic control and the abolition of useless oflicts th it were a burden upon the j eople, give assurance that the extension of that control to othgr departments of the Stille goveinmsnt wul be accompanied by real reforms upen the extravagance and irregularities which hive prevailed under Republic! n administn tions. Third?Public moneys are for public uses, and all appropriations should be the subject of rigid scrutiny, to the end that these uses may be served without personal or loeal favoritism, \va-*(e or peculation. Fourth?The long-continued abuses of the State treasury and the defiance of law by its management make essential a radical ieform so that large funds shall not be accumulated by taxation of the people and distributed among the favored depositories of S.ate officials, but that all surplus in excess of the imuud ata necessities of the State government shall be invested in interest-bearing State or Federal securities until it may bo applied to the extinguishment of the State debt. Fifth?The demand of the Democratic senators and representatives for an honest, just and true apportionment is in accord with the letter and spirit of the constitution and with the rights and interests of every section and of all the people of the State; the shameless determination of the Republicans in the legislature to maintain the present dishonest, unjust and untrue apportionment of the State by their refusal to ac cede to any fair proposition is a de- J nial to the people of their right to fair { and eijual lepiesentalion.

First dispatches gave the following particulars of the awful calamity: Tho town of Casamicciola, on the island of Ischia, near Naples, in Italy, was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake la3l night. The terrific shock was first felt about L):30 o'clock, when a majority of the uppei clnsses were at the theatres. Intelligence from the ruined town comes piecemeal, bill successive dispatch adds to the horror; of the cumu-.ity Almost all of the houses iu Casamicciola, itissaid, ,tc-? thrown down and it is believed that at least person; wer j killed and nearly as many more injured. Rome of the inhabitants of the town escaped to the sea after the first shock, and made im-irway 10 xxapits wun me startling news. A genfcerran who was staying at the Hotel Piccola Sentinella, and who b'irely escaped with his life, relates that he r nly had time tc r cure some cnndles to light him ti rough the i arknt-ss of the ruins before the building Went down. The hotel, it is said, sink intvi he earth and buried many of its inmates. The center of the ure;i of this shock was the same as that tf two years ago. but ti e radius was much wider. The shock was felt miles out at sea, and also, it is assorted, by Rome of the poopie residing on the outskirts L-f Naples. '1 ho towns ef i orio a:id Laccenir.eno. which are not far from Casamicciola, were greatly dampged. Large numbers ot men, women and children who earn- e t from Casamicciola were conveyed to Naples by steamers, and Iheir descriptions of the disaster are intensely interesting. According to tho Mtn*.emet.t'of mnny i erfonfl, tho firsj ehcc!i was followed by on opening of the f round in many places, while in other p aces there win no n.oven o it whatever. vVater gn hed suddenly out of springs that previously had not beon know;;. The walls of the large theatre, which was a wooden strt ctnre, were tent asunder, and huudieds of per:ons in ilu atidierce innde their escape through theopen'ngs. Seve.a! boi'ersin the large bathing-house burst, scalding and burning people who happened to be near hem. A man who lived in the vicinity of ;he bathing establishment says that as he >scaped from the place the walls fell close ipon his heels, and he ran toward the eea shouting to the terrified peoule who were s:_. .1 1. urn- .1 1 rr? III ftllliaillK MUUUL, lu iiiu ^Cii : iu mo oca The great excitement that prevails in Italy )ver this calamity may be imagined from he fact that there were abont 2,000 visitors n Ischin, including many wealthy Roman md Neapolitan families and several deputies w!io were taking the baths there. Steamers loaJed with the dead and njured are constantly arriving at S'aples and the hospitals are rapidly filling villi the fuffeiers. The public take no ntere.it in anything else and each new batch )f arriyalsfrom the ruined town is eagerly canned for identification. A dispatch from iome announces that the minister of public vorks h is gone to Casnmicciola to organize nea>ures of relief. At Licco there are many dead and vounded. At Forio the churthea are ruined )ut 110 one was killed. At Serrara fifteen vere kill d. The troops have recovered thl )ody of Signor Fiorentini, prefect of Lasari. All steamers plying between Ischia md the mainland were immediately charted by the government to bring the vounded from the island. The Naples correspondent of the Rome lerscif/lirre telegraphed as follows: "I iave just returned from Ischia. Casamic:iola, Lacco and Forio have been destroyed. Chey were threa of the most flourishing communes on the island, which was half >verthrown. The io\d between the towns )f Ischia and Casnmicciola is* impnssble." The train from Rome to Naples tolay was ciowded with passengers going to miuire as to the fate of their friends. There vere very few English visitors on the island it the time of the disaster. None of ,h3 special aispatcnen mwiuuu nuu.:an names among the killed or injured. T. legrams state that all tin hotels at Casanicciola a e wrecked. The soldiers will work o rendtr the rains secure, and will engage n a senrch for lha wounded. A number of physicians have pone to attend to the njured, their aid being urgently needed. Fhestorie* to!d by the survivors are hor ib!e. Many Romans having vilas it l8chia are known to have been ost. '1 he dead are fearfully mutilated. In iouie cases cjr| ses are plainly discernable .hioufeh the mins?, but they cannot be sxtricntvl. It is sunris^d that some persons ire still, livein thecel'ars. A correspondent elegraf h.s this afternoon that judgiDg from erort - already at h'nd the ca'amity will ininitelj eiceed the Chioe ear hijuakein 1881. The syndic of Casamicciola telegraphs: "The shock came with irrasi-itible violence, and vas accompanied by a deafening noise. The :onfusion in the theatre was fearful. Lichts vere overthrown and set lire to tie building. V dense crowd of dast tilled the air. Cries )f pain and terror were heard on all sides. )n hearing the shouts of 'To the seal' a general rush was made toward the shore, hivery boat and floating thing was taken by ifsault." Among the dead are Professor Palma, the Baroness Direseis Commander Zappnti, the wives and children of Signori Cecere, Siciliani, All and Martano. It is probable that the Marchioness Pacca Laurati is also imong thede id. Casamicciola is a town of 4,?00 inhabitants, on the island of Ischia, twenty miles southwest of Naples. The tourist in Italy usually visits the island by steamer from Naples, landing oil the nortn shore, one mile and a half from Casa nicciola. The i- 1 island is sixteen niiicn m uiauiuimmv., uuu sontains n population of 28,200 people, nearly nil engaged in grape culture md fishing. The bathing establishments 3f C.'.sarnicciola and its neighborhood have been famous from ihe remotest antiquity, ind when the shores of the bordering mainland were dotted w;th Roman villas the baths jf Ca<ainiccio!a were in high favor, as now, among invalids with weak lungs and skin jiseases. The thermal springs and baths have made the town a favorite watering place. A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. .Many Perseus Killed or Ininred by a Train's Collision with a Freight Cur nenr Ho. clicntcr. At S> o'clock at night the steamboat express on the Niagara Falls division of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg railroad met with an accident frightful ill its conse- : quences. The train was an enormous one?a double-header, as those are called that ara dragged by two engines?and the engines were followed by six sleepers and six ordinary co iches. It wai bound fiom Niagara tor Clayton, whence its passengers were to take a boat to the Thousand Islands It was behind time, and swept along at forty miles an hour. The way was along the soutli shore of Lake Ontario. Suddenly. when it neared Carlyon. six miles north of Rochester, N. Y., it dashed into a thunder squall of unusual violence. The tain fell in sheets, the wind roared and pre-sed heavily against the cars, and, while the thunder was heard above the rumb'eand clatierof the train, frequent Hashes of lightning illuminated the country side. 'J here were 200 people in the cars. mainly pleasure-seekers, ana nearty annum Michigan, A box freight car had l een standing in a siding near C'ariyon, and had either been b own a ong to the junct'on of the siding and main track or had been pushed there by so ne ma icioas person. It le ted so that one of its corners p o.'ected beyond one iail of t'.e main track, and the swiftly moving express train ran against it. Instantly, ami without any apparent loss of headway, the engines, baggr.ge car, and two of the sleepers left the Ml is and were heaped one upon the other?a mass of wreckage?beside the track, blocking the way of the rest of the cars and part:ally wrecking many of them. It is reported that the crash was heard three miles away. The cries and shrio'ts of the wounded added to the horrors of the situation for thosa who have described the scene, and who could not in the c'arkntss, and amid the blinding and deafening storm, comprehend t ho extent or exact naturo of the disaster. The country is very sparsely settled there, and assisli'nre came slowlv. The first engine tipi?ed over on its side, and the engimer and fireman on it e-cai ed. The engineer and tireii an on the second engine ? ere among the kille '. Tweu'.y-threo persons in all?four of them train hands and the rest I nssengers?lost their lives, and nearly a9 many more were injured. A VAST CEMETERY.

All eyewitness describes the scene at the theitre at Casamicciola, island of Ischia, wl oatlie eardi-iuaka occurred a* an awful one. '1 he turtiiin had just risen when a tremendous shock was felt. A fearful loar followed, and the ground rocked like the sea in a storm. A gioit cry of terror arose from iho audience, who were thrown into a 1 eap, and a large number of them were buried beneath the timbers of the building which fell upon them. Two more shocks occurred. All who could rushed outside of the theatre and hundreds of persons clambered into the trees in trie vicinity for safety.

The si arc h of the ruins for bodies of victims of ti e ea ihqtiake on the island of Ischia was continued durmg the night. All the bodies recovered were I urio l immediately to prevent miasm,-. King Humbert, who had been sojourn in,' at Monza, went to Casamicciola. The burials of victims of the earthquake weie continued throughout the day. Two hundred and eighty bodies were buried at Casamicciola, ninety at Lacco and twentynine at Fora). The latest estimate places the number cf doaths at between four and five thousand. As it would be impossible to recover and bury all the bodies. Signor (ione'a, Italian minister of public works, ordered that, in view of ti e horrible exhalations f:om tlie do.-< m w ing remains, the ti'irecovered ci r, ses b ; 'oft where they lie : nd l:i|ti'd lin o he poired o er the ruins nu de 1 y tl o e u-thnu ti c.

It is thirteen year* a^o that tiiS-Cld ^ad* ^ tnal team, of New York, defeated the Whitf Stockings at Chicago by 9 to 0, and- originated the slang "Chicagoed." The salary list of the disbanded Menriti cub, of Camden, N. J., wa3 $1,?00 a month. Of this amount Einsile and Gardner drew $150 a month each; Fennelly, Sweeny, Hauseholder and Greenwood ?12} a month each; Warner and Kimber $100, and Keinzel ^ SHO.

Tbe 3Sn Mewingioiiard (Oar Boyiclabe, both of tiw^3|v< Amateur league, of Batfinpra, met to IMW water of Bay Bidee and engaged in a gam*, ; and after some of the most unnatural |4wC'*/'!g2| ins ever seen the Newington bore otf the palm of wctory. \\ hen the game wascaflec!; --t| in the beginning of the ninth inning, tbe jffiS Newingtcns had two runs to their credit anckr (Jnr Boys none. Tbe two runs scored by the |H Newingtons were made on lost balls?fortu- I nate accidents, for without them there would fln have been no result at all. The game w^a H8 ealled for a reason not often given? the sop-^ Hg ply of balls became exhausted. Three were, Wwb. lost?that is to say, went to the bottom. The ffH g;ime begun at 4 o'c'ock and lasted until QH The players were placed in a line paral- II lei with the shore, but, even with this ar- gflfl rangement, there was a great variation in their apparent height The first baseman *j| and right-fielder stood knec-deepin water, Hjp tha batter and battery were up to their waista wh lu only the head and shoulders could be seen of tlio left-lieldtr. The rope -which gHR| marks the bathing limit served as the fence. > 4 The bases were life-preservers anchored m - *g the water. The frantic and generally nnsnocessful efforts to reach first base in time made ;'* the whole affair look very much like a game . M-j between two nines composed exclusively of jR cripples. In the sixth inning Horner struck %?? a fly to Toffling, the pitcher for the Newing- | ;$5 tons, who turned a somersault in his anxiety Sffg? to take it. Very few base hits were made.; I The batter, if he succeeded in getting in any I sort of a crack, would seldom knock the J an bull further than a few feet, when it would MBHB disappear in the briny deep; then he would jM-JS paddle away for dear life for his base; if tUf-m poss.ble, he would throw himself on the ball Hjjg| in front of himandtake it along with him, bm until trio caiener, swimming up iu *ould upset h s plans by grabbing his foot, |\$?S The ball would be let go, and the fugitive 3w*3 tfould make some fuilher headway toward his bose, when the catcher would splutter Ky? around, waiting for the ball to come to thrf Mji suifnce. He woold then scramble for it, and just as the man thought he had hia base uH he would find the ball a second ahead of him. jSgH This scrambling for the bnll and awaiting 85fl its coming to the surface proved the most I 538 irr,using and nicst exciting pait of the game. Kfl 1 here was always some doubt as to just H .vhere it would rise and how deep it had 99 ^one.

One or two very pood double plays ?ere made. The loss of the third ball, just [ < $?! is one hand of the Our Boys was out in the IB neginning of the ninth inning, brought the jflB Lame to a close, when the contestants tH| jrrgged themselves to the shore, after j wallowing enough salt water to preserve |3 hem for years.

President Arthur opened the Southern ex- uffi position in Louisville, Ky., at 12:36 o'cloak I '& p. m., in the presence of 20,000 people. At l; 11 o'clock the President, Secretaries Folget I and Lincoln, General Gresham, Commis sioner Evan?, General Sheridan, Senators BB Bayard and Beck, Governor Black- SHI burn, and Congressmen Morey and BHH Lowry, of Ohio, entered oorriages in front of the hotel to start for the exposition. I As the President left the hotel on the arm of I 33 the mayor the dense crowd in the street sent [ up an enthusiastic cheer. Main street was H;' impassable with people, and every house on j the line of march was gay with colors. A j military escort of live companies preceded the presidential party, and a police guard WBM i frtllnmprl. ] On arriving at the exposition President Arthur was conducted to the stand, embow- | ered in shrubs and flowers. It was placed at I p? the intersection of the naves, crossing the almost square parallelogram of the building," j^H and faced the grand organ, in front |H| of which were seated E00 choristers and g the Seventh Regiment band of New York. I -vjj About 'J00 distinguished persons accom- 9m| panied the President. After a prayer bv the HaHi Rev. E. T. Perkins, of St. Paul, the Hon. Charles D. Jacobs, mayor of the city, addressed the President, briefly welcomiag him a to the State and the exposition. In conelusion he said: , ttgjjU "This exj:oi/4on is for the regeneration ?5BB of the South,give unto her beanty for HH ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the gar- MflB ment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, HHl and all ou this day of re.oicing are gratefa ?RM to you, sir. for your presence, which gives 9 assurance that you are in full sympathy with g its inrposei. Mr. President, we of Ken- gfflH tacky are \ our people, as are those of Massa- [ .-MS chusetts, New York, or Ohio. Whatever mew honors are heaped upon you illustrate us as Hh American citizens. Whatever grief touches yousears <j|ir hearts as we'.l." The sentiment wps cheered and 'he applause repeated when the mayor f-.ook tne President by tho hand. Governor iJlaci-" burn then introduced President ArtLut.wiio, after a few moments' hesitation, said: Fellow Citizens: I count myself fortnj nata in that I am npon the borders of this beautiful city of the South on a day which must be henceforth famous in its history; for a great undertaking, an undertaking of ^ national interest aud importance, enter< here and now upon its career. I congratulate the promoters and managers of this exposition that even at this very threshold of its existence it give3 abundant pledges of success. The zeal and enthusiasm which they have disnlaved in their labors of preparation, and the frequent tidings of encouragement anu cheer by which these labors h ive been light* ened and made gird, the splendid triumphs of American gen us, activity and skill which are arranged within these walls, the presence of the eager multitude who throng these hoapi table streets, all are tokens that the enterprise here inaugurated will be crowned with ; brilliant, far-reaching and enduring results. After delivering his speech the President started the exposition machinery. In the evening the city was brilliantly illuminated. At the building every Southern State wai represented, not alone by its citizens but bj displays in a more or less advanced state ol completeness. ODD STOKIES.
