COUNT OF MONTE CKISI0. ani'S Ml.AMD M Tf7KNBB • A CCD II NT At TUB PMBSBNT. (VMby'l Letter ia the Toledo Blade.] Aonm tb« beMtifal baj from the dtj mi hoar or mush a matter i* the (muons Ik dll, on whksh k the famoos State prison which Domas made famoos bj his ksMortal roman oe of Monte Oris to. Everybody knows the foundation of the novel. Edtoond Dantes, a yonng mas ter of a veasel sailing from Maraefllea and betrothed to Meroedes, falls into a trap laid by a powerful lover of the girl and is aoonacd of conveying letters from the Emperor Napoleon, then oodfined at Elba, to Ids partisans at Marseilles. He is entirely innocent, bnt his accuser is powerful in the government and poor Dantes is torn from the arms of his love and hurried to the Castle d’lf. The yonag sailor was immured here for yean, and had given up all hope of ever again seeing the ontaide world, when one day be was sorprised to beer s scratching noise on the outside of the wall of his dungeon. He answered it, and found that it earns from an old abba who had also beMi confined in the prison for yean, and who was digging a hole through the wall, not knowing or oaring what the result might be. A few days sufficed to widen the aportnre so that they could converse, and the result was the ebbe, who was well-nigh gone with yden, confided to Dantes the secret of the Isle of Monte Cristo, near Naples, where fabulous wealth was concealed. The abbe immediately expired and Dantes determined to make a bold stroke for liberty. The custom was to envelop deed bodies in a sack and throw them over the precipice into the sea at night Dan tea palled the corpse of the dead abbe into his cell through the opening and enveloped himself in the sack, se creting a knife about bis person. The two soldiers came at the proper hour, carried the supposed abbe, but really the living Dantes, to the precipice and throw it,over. Tbcmoipent he struck the water Dantes liberated himself with his knife and swam to a rook in the neighborhood—there are plenty of them —and escaped by a miracle. As everywhere else, the people now in charge of the island and the disused prison have made the most of the ce lebrity that Dumas’s great work gave the place. They have selected two dun geons as the identical ones occupied by the abbe and Dantes. They dug the hole between them, and yon are shown the cells and the opening as thongh the great novel waa a historical fact instead of the revelation of the most wonderful romancer France has yet produced However, it might have happened, the island is simply a rook in the sea, its summit crowned with a prism ss horrible as one could imagine. There are cells below cells. There are dun geons into which the rays of the blessed son never penetrate. There are others through which all the light there ever is is what may come throngh a narrow alit in the thick walls, and it is so situated that escape any other way than that sug gested by Dumas would be impossible. As it was used ss s prison of State durjug the old regime, and by the Re public afterward, a great many tragedies have taken place within its walls, which still shew mementoes. Mirabeau was confined here for s long time, s brother of the King of Poland was here for twenty years till death relieved him, "detained,” as the records ssy, "by re quest of the king.” The brother was probably troublesome, and kings were in the habit of obliging each other in this way. He was safe enough here. Now it ia entirely unused, the place being in the guardianship of a dozen in valid aoldiera and an old woman with a handsome daughter, wbo makes a living by exhibiting the place and retailing the Hee that others have invented. They have cut the great story of Dumas down to a very fine point, and they have photographs of the good old abbe and Dantes and an engraving of the escape, all of which you arc ur^ed to purchase. Whether you invest iu illustrations of the fertile brain of Dumas or not, yon must drink a bottle of veiy bod wiuc or beer, and you must likewise disburse s frane or two for tboir services. This, however, is the Ixwt use the hoary old record of crime was ever put to. Sherman to tke President, THE TOOT AND 10UTH DISEASE. Cattle He. TRAINING BLOODHOUNDS. -(toi • For some time past the farmers and general public of New England have bean greatly alarmed over the reports that tha foot and mouth disease so prev alent in England had broken out amtog the cattle in the vicinity of Portland, Me. Dr. Thayer. United States Treas ury Cattle Commissioner, of Newton, who made a thorough inspection of the affected cattle, explains the oause of the epidemic. He says: "After having made two official visits in response to telegrams informing me that an epidemic had broken out, and failing each time to discover any symptoms of the dread foot and month diaease, I was, on Feb. 15, for the third time mimmoned. I went and saw Dr. Bailey, State Commissioner of Maine, and together wo proceeded to make an examination of the cattle afleoted. One ox had the disease in a highly aggravated form. If any pre vious doubts had existed as to the nature of,the disease.the inspection of these animals dispelled them. Dr. Bail^ and I subsequently visited the farms of Mr. West and Mr. Pierce, sitnatod In the vicinity, where animals infected in a similar manner were found. The cattle hi icc qiiftrftnt&nc AtAtton nad (Wring tnin time also shown undisputed proof of being affected with the foot and month disease, which had spread through the entire herd of imported cattle, 28 in number, though iu an exceedingly mild form, and all on the following Monday had apparently recovered, and indeed gained flesh. The oattlo outside the quarantine station which have bcon affected with the disease arc under tho jurisdiction of tho Board of State Cattlo Commissioners of tho Sta te of Mai no. In justice to this Board I must say that it haa taken most prompt and cfliciont measures to prevent tho spread of the disease, which doubtless will go no fur ther. I personally do not think that any four should be entertained by tho people of Now England, as the disease is now well under control. * The subject of pleuro-juienmonia among oattlo, which has lately broken out in Putnam and Columbia counties, New York State, occupied about an hour of the session of the N. Y. Senate, the oooasion being the consideration of a hill allowing the slaughter of infected cattle under the direction of veterinary surgeons at the Governor’s order, and appropriating $60,000 to pay for the cattle thus destroyed. Mr. Gilbert spoke ou the immediate necessity of the meas ure, ss efforts to check snob diseases, in order to be effloient, must be begun at once. An amendment making an appro priation of $26,000 was lost. An amend ment introduced by Mr. McCarthy, fixing the appropriation at $20,0Q0 was adopted, thirteen to eleven, and the bill was ordered to a third reading. In the House Mr. Curtis introduced a bill appropriating $60,000 for th6 use of appraisers, to be appointed by the Govern or, in condemning aud appraising dis eased cattle. The bill was passed by unanimous consent. Affairs In llaytl. Additional particulars concerning the situation of affairs in tho little island of Hayti have been gleamed from oflicors of the steamer Alvena.

' "And these are the bloodhounds I bear so much about ?” I remarked to my conductor. "Yea, they are the famoua blood- honnda—thatis, as mnch blooodhounds, as you will find ia Texas. They are simply foxhounds trained to hunt men.” * "Do yon keep them abut up all the time ?" “Yes; they would make it lively for the boys if they got out. ” "How often do yon have occasion to use them during the year f "Not more than two or three times Convicts will not leave when they know go oil hounds arc on hand to catch them.” "Could yon not dispense with the hounds and depend ti]>on your guns ?” "No, indeeiV; you cannot hold con victs with shotguns. It is the fear of tho hounds which keeps them quiet. Desertion is usclcsswhcn recapture is a moral pcrtiunty, as is tho cose when good hounds are employed, training your hounds?” "Oh, no; that is about the only sport there is. Here come tho puppies. We will give them a run and let you see how it is done.” • • - * - * A trusty was sent down the lane and over the fence, through a large held, on a run for dear life. When he had ac complished about half a mile, or half his circuit, tho puppies, three six-mouths old hounds, were put on his track, and they started, nosing tho ground and yelping as they ran. On they kept, over fences and throngh stubbies and ditches, never ceasing their noise. Sometimes they would run over the f trail where tho trusty had made an abrupt turn, bnt soon they would return to the spot where they lost the scent nnd ftngjUousIr feel their way until cer- liun they had the trail, when they would 1)0 off again. The trusty was a long distance runner, bnt tho soft ground made his impromptu track heavy, and he lagged as lie approached the end of his run, evidently fatigued. The dogs gained on him rapidly and were yelping close upon him. He was ordered to rnn to a tree or fence and get out of their way, so that they would have to find him by the scent. He first tried to climb a high gate-post, bnt the dogs with their noses to the ground were upon him almost and forced him to take shelter In a wagon which waa stand ing in the yard, where he hid himself in the bed just as the dogs came to the gate. They looked up the gate-post and smelled aronnd a little, then without de lay followed the trail direct to the wagon aud discovered their prey, lying panting like a tng-boat. I looked at the perspir ing convict, and my heart smote me for being the cause of his race, bnt I soon found out that it was a great privilege, enjoyed by bnt few, and giving the pup pies a race was considered by them the very essence of pleasure. The convict took an old blanket in his hand and alighted on the ground, when the dogs fought him fiercely, making vicious springs for him. He repulsed them by buffeting them with the blanket, jump ing away and thwarting them in any manner without hurting them. Finally one of the dogs fastened his teeth in the . , . oouviot’s*coarse pants, at a point where bolhon have been most barbarously put (he most doth wa8 ll8e(1 in mftkiDgi and) "Bayou have difficulty in properly oopUble flppie aua apparently no depth Urmt DaaMure. [From the New ToA Hour.] ~ Only a tew warn winter days are necessary to change a placid Western stream, across which a man with leg- boots might safely wade, into a river deep enough to float the Great Eastern. When the water exceeds the containing capacity of its banks, then comes the flood, which in the West means an over flow. Embankments, called dykes or levees, protect the cities and large towns that are not on high ground, bnt farming land is generally at the mercy of high watef; and so ore the smaller towns. The overflow is never a alow and even distribution of the water over a large area, It begins at points where the river 1>anks arc low, perhaps for only a tew jards, Through such depressions the water, forced by the weight of the im mense quantity behind it, pours with groat rapidity and consequently with' mnch erosive force. An lias tern man traveling ia the West and bearing that the river is overflowing at a designated point is greatly disappointed when ho Iwholds the alleged flood from a little distance away, for ho secs nothing but a small area of water with a barely per- Fresident Arthur has received the fol lowing letter from General Sherman, ac knowledging the complimentary manner in which the President had announced hie retirement from the Army: "Per mit me with a soldier's frankness to thank you personally for the handsome compliment bestowed in the General Orders. To me it was a surprise and a most agreeable one. I had expected that the aetnal date of my retirement would form a abort paragraph in the comBwm series of special orders of the War Department, bnt as the honored Exeeutive of our country has made it the occasion for his own hand to pay a tribute of respect and affection to an oOoer y—lug from the active stage of Ufa to one of ease and rest, I can only ■ay that I fed highly honored and con gratulate myself in thue rounding out my record of service in a manner moat gratifying to my family and friends.

Captain Pearce is inclined to the opinion that President Salomon has been exceedingly merciful in dealing with the insurgents, while Purser Lambert holdt that he was brutal iu the extreme.

The soldiers, he says, began to.shoot their victims (who were tied to fences or trees with their eyes nnbandaged) very low down, the aim being slowly raised from the ankles to the knees, the knees to the thighs, and so on until a vital spot was reached. The victims displayed meet extraordinary courage. They never flinched, at the painful wounds first re ceived, but stood up calmly and silently until the death-dealing bullet reached its mark. Often they fell before some cruel wound, and rose again to receive the fatal one. They appeared to Jbe per fectly indifferent to death, and the heart rending features of the executions, Cap tain Pearce says, were the agonizing cries and appeals of the wives, or more properly the favoritee, of the victims, who were helpleea witnesses of the butchery of those they loved.—JV. Y. Herald. A Nbw Town.—An observant Boston ian, just returned from a tour of the West, says : "The most wonnerf nl thing in the West is the rapidity with which the email towns are building water works. You can hardly find a town of 8,000 to 10,0p0 inhabitants withont com pleted or projected waterworks. The usual system is a central reservoir, into which the water is pumped and from which it fed by preesure. Such a system oosti from $40,000 to $80,000. The towns usually issue 6 per cent, bonds. This entails annual interest of $2,500 ta$5,000l The water rents more than pay this, besides expanses, end provide something for the sinkiag fund. Enough is saved in insurance alone to bahiMt the interest, while the inoremed health end convenience is beyond com putation.” _ As chabrt covers a multitude of sins God, so does politeness before holding on with unyielding tenacity, waa swung round and round, with vigor, un til tired. The dogs wjere then taken by a guard, and the convict went away highly pleased with his sport.— ton. Texas, J'otL An Affeiting Scene.- John Thomas, convicted in Georgia of murder has been sentenced to be hanged. He was ordered to be confined in AtlatyU jail uhtil the dnte of the hang ing. While waiting for the train at thc railroad station at Palmetto his wife sat by him, her head on his breast, sobbing violently. His three little children gath ered at his knees, kissing his hands and lagging him not to go. At length one of them noticed the steel manacles at his wrist, took hold of them, and pulling them vigorously, said: “Papa," what have yon these on for?” child kept trying to pull them off, rant of the dreadful truth of why they were there. Failing 4o release him, the child appealed piteously: "Papa, do please take off these ugly things. 1 don’t like to see them on yon. Take them off so you can lift me up on your lap.” By this time the other children joined in the appeal, and the crowd of persons surrounding could not repress their tears. At length the train rolled up, the murderer was taken from- his weeping family, and was soon on his way to await his terrible doom. to speak of. Should he try to wade throngh it, however, even if the water is not more than knee deep, he will find the center of the new stream, in a line with the point of overflow, as rapid and rest less as a mountain torrent Ho will be lucky to escape without the ground being nt times torn* from under his feet, for such an overflow generally cuts a chan nel for itself iu wonderful haste, tossing tlic soil aside and tearing up the subsoil like an enormous plow. Wherever the water (inda illght depressions of the soil it follows them, tearing additional chan nels for itself, and deepening into gullies what were the lower i>ortions of barely perceptible undulations. While the water is .in motion a man can barely make his way through it when the depth bn* reached one foot; when the depth increases to two feet, horses and cattle are helpless, and when thrown down, as they soon are, they sel dom regain their feet; they are tossed about until, unless stranded upon a ridge, they Income bruised and ex hausted ; then they drown. Overflow ing water only two feet deep will take up fences, logs, wagons, and everything else in its path that will float. Instead of distributing these over the area of spreading water, it masses them in the centre of rapid flow, as swift currents al ways do with drifts When this mass strikes house or barn that happens to be in its course, that structure is doomed, for np building can withstand the mo mentum of tons of solid material that is being pushed along at the rate of seven or eight miles a hour. When the river falls, and all water that can make its way back to the river has disappeared, there still remain large flooded yeas wherever the ground is low, and the soil under them is nseless m,til evaporation has done its slow work. Ground high enough to be drained ol water is almost equally unavailable, foi the main current of inflow and its num b?rless subdivisions have made gullier aud ridges everywhere, and destroyed_ whatever crops—generally winter wheat --have been planted. The period of evaporation ia also one of malaria, ty pbohl fever, and dysentery. Commnni ntion by roads is interrupted for a long time, for the flood has carried away nh the small bridges, so a creek three feet wide is impassable except on horseback. Cattle have not only been deatroyed, but their remains lie about everywhere to ] dilute the atmosphere.
