I This breaks an important link in the > Tichborne claimant's ease, who. assert* that the Osprey pioked him up off the L coast of Brazil in 1854. Aa Ei/oriNQ HUSBAND ANS A DEXES HUTED Win.-The late Omaha Tribune publishes the following: Passengers on a recent West-bound train, on the B. & M. Railroad, were treated to an immense sensation. In a first class coach were a man and a woman -the former, judging from bia appear? ance, was about forty-five years of age, and evidently a working man; the wo? man was a really pretty girl, and not over twenty-one years old. These two took the train at Oh ari too, Iowa. Soon after leaving that station they com? menced gradually to lean toward each that spake again," and for awhile "all went merry as a marriage bell." She waa reposing with her head on bia shoul? der, and their hands were clasped to? gether as if they feared they would lose each other during the night. Their overflowing affection attracted the at? tention of every other passenger in the oar. They slept sweetly, and all un? mindful that Mr. Man's true and legal wife was in the first oar ahead of the one in whiah they were riding. Right here, we must say that Mr. Man was eloping with the handsome young girl. His neighbors in Charlton knew of the elopement before it came off, and they raised a sum of money with which they purchased a revolver for Mrs. Man, and a railroad ticket which would enable ber to follow her runaway husband.. So, when they stepped into a first class coach at the station, she walked into a second class oar, and they left Ohariton on the same train. The situation can now be easily com? prehended. Mrs. Man waited until the train bad passed two stations, when she prepared for action, and firmly walked into the oar where tho elopers were firmly held by Morpheus. The first thing the guilty pair knew, they were suddenly awakened, and there stood Mrs. Man, with a revolver pointed straight at her husband's head. The girl jumped up and rushed into the sleeping-car, claiming protection from the Pullman oonduotor, who looked her >u & btat?-roouj. A? ins next stopp??g place, Mrs. Man, who kept guard over ber husband, walked him out of the' train, and when they were on the plat? form of the depot, sbe actually kicked bim, beat him*, stamped on him, and thoroughly subdued him in much tbe same manner as a man gets a vicious i horse under control. WHAT THE INT KR NATION AUB WANT IN NEW TOBE.-At a meeting of the Inter? national Workingman's booie ty, in New Yorkoity, on Sunday, "Citizen Banks" submitted the following document, which was ordered to ba sent to all seo tiona, and, if approved by them, to be adopted and noted upon: "The International workingmen of the city, through their delegate in the Federal Council, recom? mend to the oitizens of New York city the embodiment of the following propo? sitions in the forthcoming oity charter: That the oity shall institute gas works of their own, and not only supply the streets bot all the buildings in the city with gas at cost, That the oity shall in j stitute coal depots to supply fuel to its citizens at coat of mining and transpor? tation. That the city shall institute markets, where the provisions of the country may be garnered and dispensed to the people at cost of purchase, trans? portation and distribution. That the city rescind the charters of the oity rail? roads and ferries, take possession of and ron them in the interest of the people, at oost. That economical dwellings be erected by the city upon its own unim? proved lots, to be let to the people at oost. That the system of contracting public work shall be abolished where it eau be done' by the oity authorities. That all publio officers shall receive their commissions direct from tho people, while the names of deputies, clerks and other employees shall be taken from the hst of qualified applicants, aa jurors are, j by being drawn from a wheel. That all fee oifioes shall be abolished, and salaries reduced to comport to the wages of working people. That (to prevent venal legislation) all tax levies and other im? portant measures shall be submitted to the people, and heads of departments shall publish frequent reports, in detail, of all receipts and disbursements. That sohool-houses and town halls shall be free for the people to convene in to con? sider subjects of publio welfare, when not otherwise occupied." DATE OV THE CBOCTFIXION.-A distin? guished German soholar, Herr Kelb, in a recently published work, considera that he has settled beyond dispute the true date of the oruoi?xion. He shows that there was a total eolipse of the moon concomitant with the earthquake which ocourred whee Julius Cfosar was assassinated on tho 15th of March, B. C., 41. He has also calculated the Jewish calendar to A. D. 31, and the result of his researches confirms the facts record? ed by the Evangelists of the wonderful physical events that- accompanied the crucifixion. His astronomical calcula? tions also show that on the 6th of April, A. D. 31, there was a total eolipse of the sun, accompanied, in all probability, by the earthquake spoken of in Matthew. This mode of reokoning is verified by another calculation, made by calculating backward from the great total eclipse ol April, 1818, whioh also gives April 6 as the date of the new moon, A. D. 31. As the vernal equinox of tho year fell on March 25 F and the Jews ate their Easter lamb and celebrated their Feast of the Passover on the following new moon, it is olear April 0 wan identified with NiBan 14th of the Jewish calendar, which, moreover, was on Friday, the day of preparation for the Sabbath, and this agrees with the Hebrew Talmud, so that astronomy, urobroology, traditional and Biblical history seem to unite in fixing the date of the oraoifizion at April G, A. D. 31. In consequence of the attitude of the Italian sentinels stationed around the Vatican, who threatened to firo on some persons in atlondanoe on the Pope who bad plaoed themselves at one of the win? dows of tho Vatican, a conference has been held between Signor Vonosta and Cardinal Antonelli. This inoidentsoems to interest very much those persons who watch the oonrse of Italian politics at Romo. An nvalanohe ocourred on a hill in Massachusetts, a few days sinoe, of suffi? cient magnitnde to push fifty feet of stone wall olear across a country road. AN ACCOUNT BT A BJSNTUCJKY LADT KH 8IDKNT OT LAKB YittM?-We at? per? mitted to publish tho foliowing extract from a letter just receired by a' lady at Eresent in thia oity, from a friend reaid ig in Obioot County, Arkansas, iu the rory village where th? recent Boones ?f morder end outlawry were enacted. It will be found of great interest: ' - rv? LAKB POST, AJ?IL,'December 10,1871. ' Three or fonr days ago, after the ?lec? tion, One of oar planters got into a po? litical disoassion with an educated Badi eal negro lawyer, both unfortunately drunk. The lie passed. They were in a drinking shop. The proprietor jumped up, handed the planter a knife, and ?aid, "kill him." The negro knocked the planter down, who rose again, and, aa he roae, ont the negro in the nook, sever? ing the artery. A third man (white also) ehnt the door to prevent the negro's get? ting ont, whiob he tried to do, after knocking l?r. Saunders,' the planter, down, Aa soon aa thia man saw that Mr. Saunders had stabbed the negro, he opened the door, and the negro walked out. AB eoon as he did eo, another ne? gro said to him: "You have blood on {our aim." He replied: "It's not my lood, but that white man's/' and fell down and expired, with the words on his lips, as it were. Everybody waa shocked and foll of sorrow for Mr. Saunders and hie family, j Oar Probate Judge, who ia a negro, and ! a brother-in-law of the murdered man, immediately sent .aud collected 1,000 I armed negroes, who surrounded the jail ?to which Mr. Saunders, ino proprietor pf the drinking shop, and the man who shut the door, had. been taken, and threatened to bnrn our little village and jail. They went to the grocery, broke open the whiskey barrels and drank the contents, and kept a guard over the body of the dead negro, who is still lying in state iu the court house. Yesterday, the mob oolloo ted stronger than ever, commenced shooting around the jail, and finally demanded the keys of the sheriff, (who ia a carpet-bagger,) went into tho coll where Ur. Saunders was, beat him in the face with their pis? tols, and bruised and mangled his face awfully. Then they dragged all three of them ont and shot them in the jail-yard, and after they were dead, every negro that had a gun or pistol Bhot the bodies until they were literally torn to pieces. They say there must have been at least a thousand balls in them. The mob then dragged the bodies baok into tuo jai}, und ??iu llioni L?c?? till tu?8 .morning. I have not yet heard what has 'been done with them. It is an awful affair-the most dreadful I ever heard of. Oar little community of whites' Boom to be perfeotly paralyzed with horror, and some say, "What next?" It is a fearful question, bat I pray God will protect and spare UH. This is the Yankees' doings-God forgive them. But enough of thia horror. [Chr. Louisville Commercial. "HIGH CHIMES" AND "LOW CRIMES." The Oommittee of Investigation of the Legislature of South Carolina bas made a report on the financial condition of the State, whioh is creditable for its full? ness and frankness, particularly as the majority are colored men, and as that body last year took the enormous Barn cf $583,651 for "legislative expenses," and fitted themselves ont with furniture and upholstery to the amount of $91,500. Between October, 1870, and November, 1871, the carpet-baggers increased the State debt of $6.655,856 by over $9,000, 000, and have nothing to show for it. The Treasury is empty, the credit of the State completely gone, and the January intereat will probably not be paid. Kot only have enormona amonnts of bonds boen issued, nobody knows for what, but they have been issued without au? thority of law. The report of the oom? mittee arraigning Governor Soott and the worthy Niles G. Parker, the State Tieasnrer, for fraudulent over-issues, has been adopted in the House, and it was immediately followed by resolutions that both of them be impeaohed for high orimeB and misdemeanors. The resolutions were laid over under the rules. ' The impeachment ought, how? ever, to be accompanied and followed by a common domestic prosecution for fe? lony. Deposition from office by a "high court" for "high crimes" is all very well, but conviction by an ordinary criminal court of low crimes, and committal to an ordinary penitentiary, ia what all our ring thieves and peculators most need. [The Nation. Daring the coming year a fnll and en? tire revision of all treaties between Ja? pan and various foreign powers will take place. In advance of auoh a duty, the representatives of Great Britain, Frunce, Germany and the United States are in? vestigating existing treaty stipulations, and aoquiring the information necessary to form a satisfactory and enduring agreement between their respective Go? vernments and Japan. The main point aimed at is to open the whole country for purposes of residence and trade tb foreigners. The treaty made by Com? modore Perry, in 1854, is the foundation of all thu treaties at present in foroe. By this agreement two porte were opened to American ehips and trade, undor such restrictions as might be imposed by the Japanese Government, was permitted. Since that time, liberal views and ideas have made wonderful progrsss in Japan, and the rulers of that country ore dis cussing the prospective treaties in an in? telligent and oandid way, and a now mis? sion, to be composed of somo of the most influential Japaneso officers, is talked of aa about to be sont to America and Europe. From present appearances, beiore the CIOBO of 1872, Japan will bo open to trade and commerce, on a just, liberal and enlightened basil;. A "ring" ia, in its common form, a small number of poraons who get pos? session of an administrative machine, and distribute the offices or other good things connected with it nmoog a band of fellows, of greater or less dimensions, who agreo to divide with them whatever they make. The art of a groat ring po? litician like Tweed, therefore, consists mainly in tbe possession of tho same I kind of judgment and dexterity whioh make a good oareer. He has to have an accurate and minuto knowledgo of the tastes, needs, capacities and peculiari? ties of the various persons whom it ia judicious or necessary to invito to the feast, and thou ho has to bo able so to cut up and disjoint the prey, and distri? bute tho white and dark meat, that no? body shall bo disappointed or sont away hungry.-New York Nation.
