American Matters.
San Francisco, June 30.?The fol?
lowing are the particulars of the recent
explosion in Virginia City, Nevada:
Last night, a terrible explosion of nitro
glyoerine and giant powder occurred
near the corner of Taylor and Thirteenth
streets, killing ten persons and wound?
ing many others. A largo number of
persons are missing, who are probably
buried beneath the debris. The explo?
sion of six oases of nitro-glyccrino is
supposed to be tho cause of the disaster,
the concussion of which caused the
second explosion of fifty pounds of giant
powder. Among the killed are Major
General Jacob L. Von Bokkelin, J. P.
Smith, hardware morohant, M. Davis,
clerk for Mr. Smith, Ben. Mandel, dry
foods merohant, Ohas. H. Knox, of San
ranoisoo, John Devine, Mrs. Emily
O'Connor and Wm. H. Doano and
daughter, eight years of-age, of Gold
Hill. The body of Gen. Von Bokkelin
was found in the corner of his room, and
J. P. Smith and his former clerk about
nicy feet from the room occupied by
them. A large number of working-men
are now engaged in removing the dirt
and timber from the bodies of the re?
maining seven persons known to be be?
neath. The body of Ohas. H. Knox has
just been taken from the debris. Great
excitement prevails in the city; business
is suspended, and all tho sohools are
closed. The streets are orowded with
men, women and children. It is now
understood there will not be any celebra?
tion on the Fourth of July, and tho
money oolleoted for that purpose will be
expended iu bnrying the unfortunate
dead, and the remainder distributed
among the different fire companies. The
oity will go into mourning. All flags aro
now at half'mast. Joseph Shawn, Dan.
Lyons, Ohas. Van Gardor and Senator
Robert, reported killed, aro all safe. It
is now ascertained that Von Bokkelin
had stored beneath his room six oans of
nitro-glyooiine, 1Q0 pounds of giant
?owc?er and 20? pounds of black rook
lasting powder. The body of Wm. L.
Lowe has just been taken ont from the
ruins.

mun House, in New York. Walworth

prove he had occasional fits of mental
aberration.

New York, Jane 30.?Henry Ward
Beecher, in a card to the Brooklyn
Eugle, Buys: "I hove just returned to
learn that application has been made to
Mrs. Victoria Woodhull for letters of
mine, supposed to contain information
respecting oertaiu infamous stories
against me. I have no objeotion to have
the Eagle state, in tho way that it deems
.fit, that Mrs. Woodbull, or auy other
person or persons, who may have letters
of mine in their possession, have my
cordial consent to publish them. In
this connection, and at this time, I will
only add that the stories and ramors
which have for some time past been cir?
culated about me, are grossly untrue, and
I stamp them in general and in particu?
lar as utterly false."

have been trumped up by a former clerk
of the house, and they intend to contest
the matter in the courts, and not com?
promise. Per contra, Deputy Collector
Phelps expresses the belief that the al?
leged irregularities will justify a claim

oases of goods were seized yesterday,
and the otfiaials are investigating other
cases of alleged irregularities among im?
porters.

New Orleans, July 1.?A private de?
spatch from Bay St. Louis, states that a
dnel was fought near Montgomery Sta?
tion, this morning, between ex Judge W.
H. Cooley and Col. R. B. Rhott, Jr., of
the Picayune, in which Cooley was killed
at the second shot. The difficulty grew
out of an artiole published in tho Pica?
yune and a reply from Judge Cooloy,
published in the Times, of the 27th.
Ool. Rhett was not toaohed. It is un?
derstood that Rhett was the challenged
party.
New Orleans, July 1.?A Times spe?
cial from Montgomery Station, Miss.,
via Bay St. Louis, July 1, says: In the
Rhett and Cooloy duel, Jadge Cooloy
was killed, at the second fire. The par?
ties arrived at tho place on the samo
train, at 10 o'clock, this morning. Mr.
Rhott was aoeompanied by Mr. Charles
Roman and Dr. Burns, and Judge Coo?
ley was attended by Col. Geo. W. Carter
and Maj. MoRao. The weapons wero
double-barreled shot-guns; one barrel
loaded 'with single ball; distance forty
yards. The ground was promptly select?
ed, distance measured, aud parties
Slaced in position. At the first fire,
diett's shot ranged high, Cooley's to
the right. Cooley delivered his fire first.
At the second fire, both fired simultane?
ously, aud Cooley fell, mortally wound?
ed, by a shot entering his loft side and
passing apparently through his heart.
He expired in six minutes, without ap
parent Buffering, only epeaking these
words to Dr. Holiiday: 'T am shot
through the breast." The gentlemen
engaged in the affair ' exchanged the
usual civilities after the second fire, and
separated with the expression of mutual
respect und coneideration.

Cholera and Other Epidemic
Diseases.?The Asiatic cholera is a
disease of an ancient and almost imme?
morial date, thongh it was first observed j
as an epidemio in Bengal, in May, 1817.
It next made its appearance in Calcutta;'
in 1819, it extended to the Burmese em?
pire; in 1820, it arrived in Bombay,
where 150,000 persons lost- their lives.
In succeeding years, it visited Persia,
Arabia and Asia Minor; in 1829, it ap?
peared in Southern Russia, and at Mos?
cow in 1830. In 1831, it spread over
most of Central Europe, and appeared
in England; in 1832, it appeared in
London and Paris. On June 8, 1832, it
first appeared on this side of the Atlan?
tic at Quebec, and on June 21 in New
York, the intermediate districts escaping
its visitation. It reached Boston, Bal?
timore and Washington in August. In
October, it spread from Cincinnati to
New Orleans. Thence it struck a'-ross
the country to Texas, and'traveled up
the Mississippi to the river towns. It
revisited this country in 1834, 1835,1836
and 1837. We had a oholera epidemic
in 1854, from which Baltimore escaped.
There have been subsequent local visita?
tions. The cholera, or a disease much
resembling it, and attended with consi?
derable fatality, especially among the
colored population, has made its ap?
pearance in New Orleans this year, with
no evidenoe that it baa been imported.
We also hear of it in Memphis, next in
Nashville, finally in Greenville, Tennes?
see, not far from the South-western bor?
der of Virginia. We also hear of one or
two sadden deaths in Cincinnati, attri?
buted to the Bame disease. ft is gene?
rally considered a disease of warm and
damp climates and seasons. It may be
that the Mississippi Valley affords as fa?
vorable a foothold for it as the delta of
the Ganges. Some consider that its ex?
pansion is looated along the great sweep
of tbe equatorial current of moist South?
west and South-east winds, supposed by
some to be the deflection of the trade
winds into the Mississippi Valley, which
penetrates to high latitudes in tbe cen?
tral part of the continent. For our?
selves, the cholera seems to us as eccen?
tric as a comet, and we should almost as
soon be'disposed to build up a system of
medical geography of one as of the other.
The Shah of Persia's Jewels.?The
jewels of tbe Shah have quite surpassed
the reports of their size and valuo which
preceded their owner's arrival. The
treasury of Persia, wo all know, was
rich, to an incredible richness, with nc
cuuiuiuteu wealth of the sort; but no
one was prepared to see myrtalibus uculis,
n diamond nearly twice ub largo as tbe
Koh-i-noor, or "Mountain of Light,"
(now iu the possession of the Queen of
England, once Rungect Sing, tbe lion of
Lahore's greatest glory,) stuck in front
of a man's sword bolt, and five diamonds,
each larger than that jewol of jewels,
en echelon, up his coat from waist to
shoulder. These stones are scarcely cut,
and do not show as they ought, but they
are of surpassing purity. The Shah's
sword belt is a treasure-house in itself.
The sheath is studied with rubies, eme?
ralds and diamonds, whioh shame their
setting of purest gold. The front of his
coat is garnished with rows of brilliant*
instead of lace. Tho collar and sleeves
are crusted with them, and his orders are
of the most precious jewels. His spurs
flash like suu-besms. All this on tho
person of a man who has nothiDg noble
iu mien or faoe, although he is above
tho average height of the Indian Mussul?
man nobleese.
Captain Jack, it is now claimed, is the
son of Captain John Murdock, late of
Lincoln County, Ky. "Modoc," it is
further stated, is only a corruption of
"Murdoo." There is already sufficient
corruption abont this Indian business to
render it altogether unnecessary to
strain a point on the subject.
A Princotou, 111., girl died of grief be?
cause hor new spring bonnet fell into tho
river and was ruined.
New York is enjoying a remarkable
successful schulzoufost; twenty-two mur?
ders in as many days.
"A prudent man," says a witty
Frenchman, "is like n pin; his head pre?
vents him from gjiug too far."
Paxtou, 111., has a now paper called
j tho Gimlet, which is going to try to bore
[ its way io success.
Those Queer Modoo Names.?Oar
readers have probably often wondered in
wbat strange way the Modccs oame by
their queer names. Hooker Jim, Shack
nasty Frank, Bogus Charley, Captain
Jack, have anything but an Indian
sound. An article by a writer in the
Savannah News gives the explanation.
In every tribe, a large number of the
Indian youths have no names. Under a
liberal construction of our Indian trea?
ties, every male, if but a month old, is
accounted a warrior, and entitled to an
annuity. The Government requires
every warrior's name to be entered by
the United States agent in duplicate
books, so as to obtain a oensus of the
tribes. These infant annuitants are,
therefore, given names according to the
fancy of the agents, who often tax their
ingenuity and expose their want of good
taste in giving them, unmeaning and ri?
diculous epithets?names which mar the
nomenclature of Indian tribes. Singu?
larly enough, when these names are
given and recorded in the book of re
oord, the Indians, oatohing the words,
though ignorant of their meaning, reli?
giously adhere to the names given their
children, believing that, by ohanging
them, they would forfeit their annuity
rights.
How to Start a Hotel.?An ex?
perienced landlord told me recently,
tust no public house in the Metropolis
ever aohieved proaperity until one or two
murders had been committed under its
roof. Most of the hotels in town have
been, some time or other, the scenes of
homicides. One would suppose that
desperate rencoutres or assassinations |
would injure an inn, though those who
ought to know aver that the effect is di
; rectly opposite. There is certainly fas
I cination about bloodshed to the average
m ind, and the spot where murder has
been done continues to be attractive for
many years. The Grand Central Hotel
has particularly thrived since James
Fisk, Jr., was shot in its private en
> trance; and the Stnrtevant House, I un
1 derstand, has been full to overflowing
I since young Wal worth invited his father
I te his bed chamber, and perforated his
body with bullets.
Spain's Bad Faith.?It is avowed in
official circles, that Spain baa been guilty
of bad faith in the matter of the abolition
of slavery in Porto Bioo. General Siokles
some time liuoe advised the State De?
partment that the Cortes was mnch in
advance Of the ministry on this subject,
and further, that emancipation in either
Porto Bico or Cuba would canse the
greatest satisfaction, annoy the planters,
and precipitate the already formidable
tendency toward independence. The!
statement which has been made, that be?
fore the edict for the abolition of slavery
went into effect in Porto Bico, all the
slaves of that isle had been sent to Cuba,'
is now believed to be true; and the abo?

A Tannton boy who read, for the first
time, the story of Putnam and the wolf,
pitched hia grand-mother's most amiable
monser into a cellar drain, and went in
to interviow her with a bunch of fire?
crackers and a torch. When the old
lady heard the popping, yowling and
spitting she brought that historical youth
out by his left leg, and made it impossi?
ble for him to wear his tight Sunday
pants for tho next two weeks, through
the warmth of her affection and the flat
of her hand.
A Tennessee paper tells us of a cow
that was killed by lightning "a few
minutes after she was milked." This
goes to show that we have always been
correct in advising farmers never to per?
mit thunder storms and the milking of
oows to occur on the same day. The
thunder not only soars the cows but kills
the milk.
The Chicago Times states that Gov.
Austin, of Minnesota, says he cannot
afford the honor of holding the office of
Governor, even though ho lives in the
most un-Austiutatious manner. So there
are now only twenty-nine candidates for
Governor of the North Star State.
