Glasgow, January 19.?A speoial despatch from London to the Globe, of this oity, en vb the dismissal by the Home Sooioty of Dr. Henry Bell, Sheriff of Lanarkshire, has caused a serions dif? ference of opinion between Gladstone and Lowe, wbioh will probably result iu the retirement of the latter from the Government.

Paris, Januory 20.?WaBhburno, tho Amerioan Minister, yesterday, on behalf of the French residents of Philadel? phia, presented ex-President Thiers with a gold medal. In his speech on the occasion, Washburno alluded, in terms of warm praiso, to the friendship ehown by Franco to tho United States! during the American revolution. Ho also eulogized tho Frenoh people who have taken up their residence in New York. Thiers feelingly replied. After expressing his thanks to his country? men in tho United States for their re? peated manifestation of nonfidenoo in him, he declared that a republiowas the only government possible in Franco; consequently, tho bond of friendship between the two uations would be strengthened.

New York, January 20.?A despatch ? from Richmond, Virginia, says a de? spatch from Greensboro, N. ?., gives the announcement of tho sudden death of tho Siamese twins, on Saturduy morning lust, at their residence, nt Mount Airy, Surrey County, N. O. There are no details, further than the fact that Chang was paralyzed last fall, since which timo ho hits been fretful, very much debilitated, and slrongly ad ' dieted to drinking liquor as a means of ullevintiag^his suffering. Ho had been quite feeble for several days; indeed, so much as to confino both brothers to bod; but his illness was not so great as to causo auy anticipation of tho catas? trophe that was to follow. On Friday night, they retired to bed as usual, but during the night Chang boeame worse, and expired suddenly, about d o'clock Saturday morning. As soon as it was discovered that bo was dead, Eng be? came so tenibly shocked that ho raved wildly for awhile, at times exhibiting signs of great mental abberation. This attack was followed by what seemed to be a deadly stupor. In two hour.-, it is supposed, from tho death of Chang, Eng breathed his last. A Herald special from the Oity of Mexico, duted the 15th, says the grant to tli- Mexican Railroad Company bas been pproved by Congress, and the grant to the Tehauntepso Company bas beer: suspended for a year.

All the papers, this morning, have more or leas to say about the President's latest nomination for Chief Justice. The Bun says: "Mr. Waite is woll spoken of by those who are acquainted with him, but tho fact that he is not generally known to the country will ren? der his nomination for Chief Justice less satisfactory than it might be other? wise." The Herald says: "No other reason is apparent for the nomination of Waite, save that Grant is deter coined to nomi? nate the man ho considers best, and not the man the country considers best." The Tribune says: "Mr. Waite is not the best man wbo oould be named for the plaee, but there is no good reason why ho should not bo promptly con? firmed, so as to satisfy the great mass of serions people, who believe in the principles for whioh wo went to war, a^d who regard it as the dnty of the national legislature iu fortify and defend thoso principles by statute, and the duty of the judiciary to take care that they receive no detriment through a hostile construction of tho law or the Constitu? tion. The correot political antecedents of Mr. Waito will seem fur moro impor? tant than all the learning and brilliant abilities of Gen. Cushiug." The World says: "If President Grant's third selection for Chief Justice had happened to be hi-; first, tho ap? pointment of Mr. Waito would havo been received with wonder by tho coun? try, and disappointment nnd regret by that portion of the bar who over bad any praotioe io the Supremo Court. We have no doubt Waite possesses some Tory good negativ? qualities, but the eight Associate Justices can decide every case aft ably without Mr. Waite as with him, and the Senate would serve the country by keoping the Ohief Jus? tice vaoant until we get a President who has Borne appreciation of the qualifica? tions requisite for that great station." ? The limes says: "The nomination of Judge Waite to the post of Chief Jus? tice or tho Supremo Court is a tho? roughly respectable cue, and will pro? bably meet with little opposition from j any quarter. He is a man of very high personal character, of recognized ability, and of quite sufficient standing in his profession to justify the bolief thatjbye will make a good Chief Justioe. Iu nominating Waite, tho President has shown an earnest dosire to discbarge tho very difficult duty in a conscientious manner, and without reference to party or tho private wishes of any cliquo in Washington or elsewhere" Washington, January 20.?In the So? nate. Morton asked to tuko up the reso? lution for tho admission of Piuohback, and said he would movo to havo tho matter referred to the Committeo on Privileges and Elections for investiga? tion. MoOrery objected, as ho had the floor to speak, aud would do so on Men day. Morton gavo notice that ho would then make his motion. Picohback is said to be angry, and pronounces himself iu favor of a new election, and threatens damaging dis? closures. On (fit, Pinchback is out of the ring.

Washington, January 20.?Tho Pre? sident has signed the bill removing tho political disabilities of Wm. Steele, of Texas. The House spent tho whole day iu wrangling over a new rule, proposed to bo added to the rules, and intended to ohoko off motions to suspend tho rules on all sort-i of fancy propositious. Tho right to niiko this motion only occurs ou Mondays nnd during tho ten last days of tho session. Tho Democrats solidly opposed tho new rule, as an in? fraction ou the rights of tho minority, aud wero backed by some prominent Republicans, including Dawes. Tho rule, however, was finally adopted, by a small majority. Tho House Committeo on Military Affairs, this morning, agreed to report a resolution to tho House providing for tho detail by tho Prcsideut of n board of army officers, to constitute a military court, iu the matter of tho alleged de? falcation of General Howard in con? nection with his administration. The fricuds of Judge Duroll are some? what apprchensivo to-day.

In tho Senate, West, of Louisiana, presented a petition of tho Naitonal Board of Trade in regard to increasing tho facilities and cheapening transporta? tion between tho interior aud sea board, and asking for an improvement of the natural routes, ?fco. Ho said, in repre? senting these conclusions of tho National Board of Trado, ho did so as an expres? sion of tho increasing feeling iu the country upon tho important question of cheap transportation. Ho must insist that this questiou to-day is demanding more attention than tho questiou of finance. The Postmaster-General, to-day, for? warded a communication to the Senate, containing information relative to the expenses eaved to tho Government on account of tho abolition of tho franking privilege. To arrivo at anything like fair conclusions, a trial of at least a year should bo made, ho says, and earnestly recommends that the franking privileges bo not restored until at least a fair trial be made. It is again reported that the Prcsidont has declared his iuteutiou to veto tho salary bill. Annapolis, January 20.?Wm. Pinck ney Whyte, Governor of this State, was to-day elected by tho Legislature to be United States Senator, iu placo of Hamilton, whoso term expires March 4, 1875. Chicago, January 20.?Bctweoo 8 and 4 o'clock, this moruing, n firo broke out in the Union Central Depot building, oooupied by tho Michigan and Central Illinois, Central aud Chicago, Burling? ton and Quiooy Railroads, at tho foot of Lake street, and, in a short timo, m?Ho mich progress as to defy tho firo department. Tho building was entirely consumed. Tho baggago in tho Chi? cago, Burlington and Qiliucy depart? ment was nearly a'! lost, only a fow pieces boing sav^d, and taken to tho freight depot across tho street. Tbo baggago iu cbo other room at the South end of tho depot was saved, tho fire being put out before it reached that fur. Some of tho baggage, however, had been already removed to a placo of safety. Nothing was saved from any of the offioos connected with tho depot, all boing swallowed up iu the oommon de? struction. The tracks wero crowded with cars, and most of thorn wore saved, but tho men wero uuablo to remove a number of fluo passenger cars. Tho Michigan Central Railroad Company toso three passenger coaches and two Pullman sleeping oars; tho Chicago, Bur Ungton and Quiuoy Railroad Company Iobo three coaches, including two Pullman sleeping oars; the Illinois Cen? tral Company lose four coaches, par? tially burned; the Cincinnati Ait-Line I Iobo one conch. The losses are estimated at between $300,000 aud $400,000. Tho amount of insurance is unknown. The depot was a frame building, put up after tbe great fire, for temporary purposes. While this tiro was in progress and claimed the attention of the firo depart? ment, the bell founded again, aud the announcement was mndo that u large store in the front block on State street, between YanBuron uud Harrison, wus also on fire.

A Steam Jackass.?A man living noar Nashville, Washington County, III., has recently invented uu apparatus to lake tho placu of whistles for railroad Mg oals, steamboats, fire-alarms, factory calls, aud tho like. lie calls it the "tolophon," but tho popular name is tho "steam jackass." Tho inventor is a stock farmer, aud has devoted much of his time to raising mules, whose habits aud anatomy ho appears to have studied carefully. Ou his farm, the.ro was a cnulo of moro than ordinary vocal power, whoso voice could bo heard a distance of four miles in every direc tiou, when ho once got wurmed up to his work. Tho owner computed that if he could set in motion all the air iu a circle of eight miles iu diameter, or twenty-five miles in circumference, or an area of fifty square miles, or 32,000 acres, a hundred-horso-power jackass could, ull other things being equal, rival any other noiso yet discovered. IIo established tho fact that tho power of uu ordinary ass is ubout oun-twclfth of an indicated steam power. A steam en? gine of 1,000 horso power would, there? fore, bo equal to the power of 12.UU0 asses. Wherefore, if ouo ass cau fill u circle eight miles iu diameter, 12,00t> jackasses or ono 1,000-horso power juek ass would fill a circle of 90,000 miles iu diameter. Tho inventor thought all this over carefully, urriviug at tho de? duction that if ho could take nature's vocal apparatus aud apply it to a greater power, ho could produce a larger and more satisfactory voluino of sound. Filled with this Idea, ho put the mule to death, and carefully severed the head from the body. 11k then iujected solu? tions of chloride of /due uud arsenic iuto tho veins und arteries of the head aud neck, to prevent decuy of the Uesh. India rubber was dissolved iu sulphuric ether, aud the solution forced through tho trachea, or wind-pipe, and through tho larjux, or throat. The ether evapo? rated, leaving a film of rubber on tho membranes, and the injection and eva? poration wuro continued until the rub? ber film was found of sufficient thick? ness. These organs were thou subjected to a vapor o*f sulphur healed to 3UU de? gree.-; by whioh process tho rubber w.ts vulcanized, its elasticity increased, und tho membranes rendered impervious to steam. Those preparations completed, a short piece of rubber hose was at tucbod to the wind-pipe and cotimcU-J with a steam boiler. It was a moment of agony En the in vontor us ho placed the ass-head in the bauds of an assistant, and tiowly pulled the valve open?a moment of thrilling interest. As tho steam was turned on, it passed iuto tho wind-pipe, expelling tho air and producing a sigh; followed by a groan, a euort, a chuckle, then a violent coughing ut.d sneezing. As a full beud of steam was turned on, tho most feurful noise, tho most frightful guffaw, tho most vociferous bray that ever assailed mortal cars, were produced. Tho lips contracted, disclosing a terrtblo array of ieeth; tho feature? developed a satnuic grin; tho jaws raised and fell as the steam crowded the passages, and I ho oars participated iu the general move? ment, giving to tho head of the ass an animated an excited uppetnance. Tho man who was holding tho head gazed upon it a moment with dilated eyes, colorless cheeks, knocking knees and protruding tongue; thou, suddouly losing all interest iu the performance, be emigrated. As for tho inventor, his success exceeded his most sanguine an? ticipations. For an instant, ho contem? plated tho head, his countenance work? ing with every manifestation of inteuso delight; then he, too, started, probubly to learn tho greatest distance to which that v.)ico would penetrate, leaving it still in operation, with all steam ou. The head bud not got fully warmed up to its work, und that bray went hurling through tho universe, it wns an acous? tic earthquake; a sky-shake; a storm, a hurrioauu of sound, u tornado, n cyclone of noise; it was a donkey carnival, a jackass Fourth of July. It was the greatest success the world baa ever known.?St. Louis (IL)be. -. The Code Duello?From the Uu loigh correspondence of the Petersburg News, we clip tho following bit of infor? mation : "There has been u good deal of talk itt Ilnleigh during the past two weeks about a duel that was ou tho tapis dtir iug tho Christmas holidays. Col. L. W. Humphrey, Ututo Banutor from Wayne aud Duplin. made a speech iu the Se? nate on tho 22(1 ull., just us that body was about to adjourn for a vacation of tweuty days. It rtfleotod very severely upon Mr. Turner, of the Sentinel. It was a furious speech, brimful of war. It now turns out that Mr. Turner in? vited tho Colonel to Norfolk, Va., about tho last of December, but he could not sue tho necessity of any such trip, and so deoliued to go. The correspondence has not yet boon published, but tho fact of the invitation uud dcclinutiou is common property." .?- ^ ? +>~ Tho Couuty Commissioners of Union County havo' rejected the official bond bf U.

York a disturbing element known as the "Communists," was demonstrated on Tuesday last in Tompkins square, and again last night in Cosmopolitan Hall. Although frustrated in Tuesday's open attempt to defy the lawful authorities which forbade their assembling, or at least their parading the streets in pro? cession, thoro is no knowing at what hour or by what preconcerted and seoret action thoy may commit some overt not and cause widespread consternation among tho community. These danger? ous conspirators against sooioty are not confined to New York nor to Paris; they are spread tho world over. Thoy declare, as one of tho prisoners arrested on Tuesday lust did, that the red flag is their only flag; that they spit upon all otbor flags; that they demand equul rights iu all things, tho equalization of property, the apportionment of "good things," and "free lov(,"as it is com mouly known, iu its broadest sense. Thoy have no religion aud no respect for person or stutiou. In New York the body is controlled iu n mysterious mmi? ner by an unseen so-culled "Committee of Safety," ouly a few of whom have appeared upon the surface. Tho move? ments of this committee are as secret and mystical as thoso of any known secret organization. Their leaders at? tempt to cover their own peculiar objects and schemes by advocating? nay, "domuudiug"?the employment of laborers upon tho public works. [Nfiio York Herald. Saved ry a Bustle.?We aro going to toll tho truth now; tho man who does the Aunuius part of .this paper is out ut present. Nut long since, a lady of this city called at a honso where there was a very savage dog. She walked iuto the yard, aud was very near tho house when sho was attacked in a most ferocious manner by tho dog mentioned, who tore her bustle off, and iu a general way made things exceedingly lively for her. After getting the bustlo off, the dog let the lady alone, and, standing nt a re? spectful distance, viotved that article until she got into tho house. This is ouo more argument in favor of tho bus? tlo. Whcro is tho man that cries, "down with tho bustle!" If any, just let us to him. Who is here so basu as not to ad? mire tho bustle? If any, speak, for him havo wo offended. Wo pause for a ro ! ply. None? Then noue have wo of j feuded. It will be remembered tbitt, ? from tho first, wo havo championed the bustle-wearers; nnd it will bo quite long when we go back on our words or cease to resent with honest indiguution what ever of contumely tho an regenerate may attempt to cast upon tho custom. Bu it understood that we are committed to the. defence, and that we never give up tho bustle. ? CftarloUa Observer. The Bight Idea.?When Justice 13rally was sentencing Ballia Bartolcmn, au Italian, iu New I'ork, last week, to imprisonment for life for killing an other Italian, hn remarked upou the I fact that tho crime was committed while I in a drunken frenzy.
