How Fisk Oat Illa Start. The Chicago Evening Poat gives quite an interesting account of Jim Fisk's earlier career, and tells how hu got his start, na follows: When Fisk was about ten years of age, he kept a emull market-stall in Benning? ton, Vermont. Oue day, the eminent steamboatman, Daniel Drew, came to the market with his banket on his arm. Ho asked young Fisk if his eggs ?rere fresh. "You bet,'' replied the ing?nions ! boy; "pap pulled thom off the vines this morning." "Qive me a dozen, son? ny," replied Mr. Drew. The next stall was kept by El i ph ale t Buckram. "Is this pumpkin good, my son?" asked the venerable stock-broker. "It is a good enough Morgan," answered the truthful obild; "but, sir, if you will examine that portion concealed from too scruti? nizing viow, by contact with the boards forming tho counter of tho stall, you will see that there is a bad spot in it." "Does not that seem unbusiness-like, my child, to ory down your own wares?" asked the kind-hearted millionaire. "My sainted mother told me I munt never tell a lio with my little hatohot," responded Eli ph al et Buckram. The rich man was \ moved to tears; he took out his purse and gave Eliphalet Buckram a pat on the hoad, and said be was a good boy. Whou he had gone, Eliphalet Buckram said to little James, ".O, JamcB, what mado you tell such a ?b? You know those eggs were laid throe weeks ago. You will seo that I have gained a cus? tomer, aud you havo lost one." Well, whou Eliphalet went home, his step? mother cumo to 'au dour and said: "Hero you are, you lazy little sneak, nud .You haven't soli, tho pumpkin yet! I'll pumpkin youl" And sha- took him in her step-motherly arms, nud funned him with an ox-goad until ho said that ho would prefer taking meals off the mantel-piece for thu next few consecu? tive days, to sitting down with the rost of the family. And next da}*, Daniel Drow carno into the market "reariu* and a toariu'," UH old inhabitants say, and said: "Where is the boy that Bold me thoso eggs?" aud Jim Fisk pointed to Eliphalet and said: "Thora ho is, air," and Daniel Drew reinforced that boy's Btep-mother's ox-goad with his cane so elTeotually that-but never mind. So Daniel Drew bought all his gnrdeu sass of Jim Fisk. In after life, Eliphalet Buckram set up a grocery store, and gave trtibt to all the poor people, and never sanded his sugar, and wouldn't ' qualify his rum with water; BO ho burst up, and the sheriff sold him out, and he went to the poor-house. But Daniel Drew kept his eye on Jim Fisk, aud bye-andbye he gave him a partnership in the Erie Arm, and Jim beat him ont of $1,000,000. This is not a story for good little boys. Wo fear it is too neur tho truth. AN UNDERGROUND RIVER.-The Craw? ford County (Iud.) Democrat gives the following, on the authority of "ono of the best citizens of the County:" Two men, na tu od John E. Stanley and Fredrick Henninger, were employed to dig a well on tho farm of Mr. Beujamiu Ellis, who reeides in Washington County, near the line of Harrison and Washing? ton Counties. They had proceeded but a short distance, however, when they encountered a bed of loose "nigger? head" rocks, whiob, upon being broken open, were found to contain water and other Bnbstanoes, supposed to be oro of some kind. When they reached tho depth of sixty feet from the surface, they came to a large oave, which they followed a distance of ten or twelve feet, when there bofore their gazo was a beau? tiful river of oleur water, whioh, upon examination, was fouud to contain nn innumerable number of small white Ash. Upon a closer examination, it WIIH found to be sixteen feet wide und live in depth, and as clear and cold as spring water. As an experiment, a lighted caudle was placed upon ii small piece of plauk and set afloat. It started off into tho dark? ness, with the current, and was soon lost to sight. Several persons have visited this great curiosity, and many wero the conjectures as to whore tho water carno from and whither it went, but nothing satisfactory could be arrived at. IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT.-Au experi? menting Detroit chemist took a pieoo of thread bare ootton cloth, smeared it with boiled linseed oil, aud put it in tho cen? tro of a chest filled with paper nnd raga. Although tho room was not tight and the weather was cold, there was a smell of tiro about tho room in eight days. Un? packing it, the exporimentor fonnd thc rag half charred. In April ho mado a similar experiment with a pair of paint era' overall?, whioh ho rolled up with pine shavings and crowded in next to the roof boards of a loft. In a week the smell of smoke alarmed a workman in the next room, nnd the overalls wore found to be on fire. And during tho1 hottest weather, a handfull of old oottou rags, not smeared with oil, became hot I enough when hung np in a tin box in tho I sun, to light matches whioh he had placed among them. Thoso facta show tho necessity of caution in putting away rags, especially those that may bo satu? rated with oil, benzine, or other inflam? mable Bubstauco. IMPORTANT LIFK INSURANCE DECISION. Tho suit in Boston against the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Now Jersoy, by tho administrator, to recover $7,000 insurance on the lifo of James F. C. Baxter, resulted in a verdict for tho plaintiff in tho full amount. The de? fence was that Baxter died of intem? perance, it being stipulated iu tho policy that iutumpcianco would render it void. Laura A. Berry, of Davenport, Iowa, is tho first woman, who, UH n notary public, "sworo" a man in Iowa, but not by an}' moans tho first who, as a "lovely woman," mudo a mau swear in that du leetublo Hinte. A St. Louis firm is "ll. C. Colo, Sow and Daughter." PBRVERTINO WORDS.-A late number of the Atlanta (Ga.) Sun assertB that tho compilers of tho last edition of Webster have introduced into tho body of the work such slang words as "lucofoco" aud "copperhead." The first is defined as applied to "a member of the Demo? cratic party," and tho last to "a North? ern sympathizer with the Southern rebel? lion;" while the word "scalawag" has no political signi?cauce given to it, and "carpet-bagger" is not found in the work. In regard to tho word "scala? wag," the interesting faot may be stated that it was first used in the cuttle reports of the New York jTrtbune, by Solon Robinson, who adopted the expression from the drovers to designate lean, scrubby cattle. Tho word as thus used WRB a corruption by the drovers of Gal? loway, a species of horses of a small size, first bred in Galloway, Scotlund. Mr. Greeley was the first in this oountry to give scalawag a politioal sigoificanco, using it as long ago as 1855 to describe scurvy politicians. Thus much might have boen mentioned in the last edition of Webster without detriment to tho most loyal sensibilities. Wo do not at? tach much importance to tho omission of carpet-bagger, as every oue knows what that means. It ia also alleged that in thc last edi? tion, tho definition of "Congress," and all such words ns "Stato," "constitu? tion" and "compact" have boen changed from all former editions. In tho former editiou of tho work, Congress was de? fined as follows: "The Assembly of Senators and Rep reoentatives of tue United States, ac? cording to tho present constitution or political compact, by which they are united in a federal republic." But in this last edition it in said to have been changed to read as follows: "The Assembly of Senators und Rep? resentatives ot the people of a nation especially of a republic-for tho purpose of enacting lawH and considering mut tuts of national interest, und couatitut iug tho chief legislative body of tho na? tion." lu this editiou the words "United States" havo been changed to "nation," ami in another line "federal republio" is stricken out, and a "nation" substituted in its placo. An attempt b) pervert tho meaning of words in tho interest of a political party must be condemned by fair minded men of all political ideas. To make a politi? cal text book of a dictionary is certaiuly n uew idea. This latest edition of Web? ster is edited by a certain Dr. Portor. Lo! TBS Poon li KATHEN.-On account of tho inadmissibility of Chinese testi? mony in the courts of California, wo are told that the first of the miscreants tried for his share in the Los Angelos riot, which resulted in the murder of a num? ber of unoffending Celestials, was ac? quitted without having to offer auy de? fence, Bolely becauso none but Mongo? lian witnesses (though of these there wero plenty) could be found for tho pro? secution. Surely, such a state of affairs is neither conducive to tho maintenance of publio morals nor ultogother credit? able to tho consistency of a civilization whioh insists on first class hotel accom? modations for peripatetic negroes, and puts forth its might to mouogramize the Mormon. Granting that ethnologists are wrong, aud that thc African specios of tho getius homo is higher thau the Mongoliun in the scale of creaton; ad? mitting even that, although no depth of turpitude is deeper than Hogging a colored brother, there is no particular harm in killing a Cbiuamun, so far, at least, as tho Chinaman himself is con? cerned; we submit, nevertheless, that? the avowed purpose of law is to disci? pline criminals and to protect tho com? munity at large against the repetition of crime, without regard to tho individual worthlessness of tho person who is chiefly injured. It is on thin ground that the man who should slay Senator Brownlow, or steul tho putative property of Gen. Butler, would Still be held amenable to tho penalties in such cases made and provided, and for the same reason that rules in th iso extremo examples, it is to tho interest of Caucasian Californians to briug malefactors to justice, though it were only a Chinaman who was robbed or murdered. But if tho perpetration of such a deed, among a crowd of other Chinamen bo legally mudo equivalent to its commission in impenetrable secrecy, there is manifestly little usu in having auy criminal courts at all. I A's to York World. Sportsmen are now having an exciting time iu Buckingham County, Virginia. A correspondent, writing under dato of the lUth instaut, dcscriboH the groat "pigeon roost" on the old furnace lauds near Can ton. Ho says: "Tho aroa of thc roost is four square miles, and to ono who never saw a sight of the kind it is truly amazing. From one hour of sun until night tho air is darkened with countless thousands of tho birds, Hying from all directions (South of tho river) inward to tho roost. Thorn is a grandeur indescribable in tho mournful sound of rushing wings aa the trackless armies, marshaled in tho 'viewless wind,' como sweeping to their bivouac. But tho evening sight is not to bo compared to that of tho morning, when tho pigeons aro leaving tho roost. Rushing upward from tho bushes li ko columns of blue smoko, tho rays of tho morning sun paint thom' with rainbow tints, and a canopy overshadows tho woods like tho sulphurous olouds above a battle-field. Wheeling ii? grout divisions in tho air, they divide, each army to its leader, aud tho Heavens grow lighter IIB they disap? pear to refill their craws with acorns."

A Wisconsin niau reported thai lie couldn't Hud a word iii his dictionary, because "the book hadn't got an index." THE BAD SPANISH PROSPECT.-Ama? deas, tho young King of Spain, has fouud Cabinet-making one of tho most difficult tasks of bis new Government. During the sbort period be has occupied the Spanish throne, he has been chiefly engaged in this perplexing business, and has just completed again the formation of a new Ministry. But the anarchical condition of Spain and the uncertainties of the future make some of those who are most oompotent reluctant to accept the position of Minister. The late com? position of the Cabinet seems to be very unpopular, and it is reported that tho young King has become BO disgusted with the ungovornable disposition of the Spanish people as to contemplate abdi? cation, and has urged his father, Victor Emanuel, to sanction the stop, though the Italian monarch advises him to be patient, and to hold ou for tho present. Tho head of the new Government, Sa gosta, is spoken of as a postilent politi? cian, who has gained a strong influence I over tho mind of tho yoong King. It is said that Sagosta belongs to the reac? tionary party, and that he and the real I of the Cabinet are in a minority iu tho] Cortes. It is thought that while he re? mains in power, there can be no hope of peace iu Spain nor of roform in Cuba and Porto Bico. Ho represents the polioy of repression aud intrigue at home, and complete subservience to tho demands of tho slaveholders and the volunteers of Havana in the colonies. lu a recent speech in tho Cortes, ho re? ferred to tho massacre of the college | youths by tho armed mob at Havana, saying that tho acts of traitors explained 1 and palliated such au oat. It seems evi? dent that Spain, like France, wiil have to go through many trials before ar? riving ut establo Government, and that, like that count ry, while discontented ' with a monarchy, she is not prepared for a republic. A COMET DARTINO DIRECTLY TOWARDS OUR GLOBE.-A decidedly new sensation is promised us ou tho 12th of next Au? gust. The famous M. Plan (arnonr, Pro? fessor of Astronomy at Geneva, has dis? covered a now comet, which, it is de? clared, execods iu size auy similar mctoor hitherto kuowu of. By the elaborate calculations of this learned observer, the new comet is darting directly toward our globe, with prodigious velocity, and will come into collision with it on the 12th of August, us aforesaid. The ap? proach of thia terriQc object will be he? ralded by an extraordinary degreo of heat; and the catastrophe cunuot possi? bly be avoided. unUse by a deflection, not now to bo prognosticated, produced by tho comet impinging on the attract? ive scopo of some ether heavenly body. We believe that this alarming prophecy corresponds with ono of Dr. Cummings' more recent announcements, and, if so, science aud religion-or ono eccentric representative of it-will, for once and unequivocally, be in accord. The inha? bitants of tho earth will have, at least, this consolation, that after tho Planta mour comet comes within tho range of telescopic observation, and becomes viai ble to tho nuked eye, there will yot bo a long time for them to set their houses in order, and prepare for the "eternal smash" that must ensue. A DELUGE IN DUNDEE.-The cable gives I au acoount of the occurrence of a de? structive flood in Scotland, in tho valley of tho Tay, caused by the Budden rising of the waters of the Frith and tho Tay. The flood poured into the plains on both sides, swept everything before it, and I extended Irocu Dundee to Perth.
