A BOY'S VORDS TO HIS MOTHER.
Oh! I long to lie. dpar mother.

With the calm blue sky nbove my head
And the shadowing clouds that pass. '
And I want the bright, bright sunshine
All around about my head :
I will shut my eyes, so God will think
Your little boy is dead.
Then Christ will send an angel
To bear me up to Him ;
He will bear me .slow and steadily
Way through the sky so dim. '
He will eentlv. bear mo
Close to my Savior's side
And when I'm sure 1 am in Heaven
My eyes will open irlde.

Correspondence of the New York World.J
.London, September 13.
All the world by this time knows
that, eight days ago a portion of the
body of a woman the lad breast aud
the lower part of the chest was pick
ed up iu the Thames, oft" iimiersea
Park ; that a few hours later the
ngbt breu&t of the bame body was
iuuiiu cm me snore, higher up the
river ; that day after day other .frag
ments of the same mutilated corpse
le warded the search that waaDow in
stituted, and that among these frag
ments was the scalp and the skiu of
the face, which, with the touch of di
abolical ingenuity, had been stripped
irom the skull aud tbe head. The
appearance of these fragmeuts or
those flrat found showed that a mur
der had been committed only a few
hours before tbe lirst discovery, and
that the body had been cut into pieces
before it was yet cold. This disprov
ed the hypothesis that the remains
might be those of a dissected "sub
ject" and the police have been now
lor seven days giving their minds to
the discovery of the murderer. Elev
en pieces of the body have been found
the right and left thoras, (the
breasts and lower part of the chest,)
tbe scalp and skin of the face, both
thighs, both feet, the left half of the
pelvis, with the four lower vertebral,
the right shoulder joint and both fore
arras. The parts missing are the
skull, both bauds, both legs, the left
shoulder joint, and the internal viscera.
No clothing has so far been found,
and this is strange, because it is well
known that a very large number of
persons make their living by dredg
ing the river. If any ono of this nu
merous class should iish up a bundle
of clothes he is tolerably sure to hur
ry off with it to a second-hand cloth
imr shop, for fear of having it seized
by be police No reward has been
ottered f-r the recovery of tbe cloth
ing up till now, and unless some in
ducement is held out it is not likely
to be forthcoming. If it has been
found it is by this time in the junk
dealer'? hand, who will not part with
it unless they make something by the
transaction ; and if it has not been
found, search is doubtless being made
for it, so that it may bo at hand a9
sonti as the reward is offered.
Many discoveries were reported by
the police yesterday, among others a
lot of intestines, which turned out to
bt-long to some animal. The lungs
which were supposed to have belong
ed to the dismembered body have
proved to be those of two dead sheep.
Many reports have been set alloat of
mis-sing women, but up to this morn
ing no clue had been obtained to this
awful myslery. This morning, how
ever, the Standard profiled to have
received positive information as to the
l-sentity of the murdered woman. It
says that the remains were identified
last night by a respectable lady with
whom the deceased had been "living.
iShe is said to have been the widow of
Mr. Cailey, of Lime Regis, of Dorset
shire, and only thirty-eight years of
uge. She had recently gained a law
suit which entitled her to the posses
sion of the property left her by her
husband, who was'very wealthy and
which the next of kin"had attempted
to obtain.
She had been living with the lady
mentioned at Battersea, where she
became acquainted with a loreign -eu
tleman who tool; much interest in
seeing that she1 obtained her legal
rights. In order to gain some sym
pathy from her husbaiids-relativ.da in
the event of the suit go'iuict aifainst
her, she had pawned,, ifer" furniture
ui vaiuw, wiiiuu
Wisconsin it is the Northwest Terri
tory, the west half of which is given
over to "Buffalo Plains." and the east
half to "Menominee Indians." "Fort
Crawford at Prairie due Chien," -just
at the mouth of the "Ouiscousiu riv
er." is the only place named on the
Missh-slppi river above t le Illinois
lines. The southern portion of tin's
territory is devoted to Menominee In
dians. There is no Iowa. Iowa and
Minnesota, and in fact the whole
broad empire west of Missouri to the
Rocky Mountains and north of it to
the British Possessions is "Missouri
Territory." Fort Madison, "Du
buque Lead Mines."and Fox Village
at the mouth of Turkey river, are all
the places worth mentioning iu the
country comprising this common
wealth. There is lawny river. The
north portion of this heritage is pos
sessed by the laway Indians and the
southern portion by the Fox Indians.
Minnesota is given un to the Siouxs
entirely. The "River de Moines" is
traceable only where the city of De
Moines now is The upper laway
river empties into the Mississippi just
above Prairie du Chien. There is no
mention either of Fort Armstrong or
of the island of Rock Island', although
Rock river is down in its proper place.
In the centre of this great Missouri
Territory is the inscription :
"Missouri Territory is a vast wil
derness, consisting chiefly of immense
plains, almost destisutebf wood, ex
cept in the neighborhood of streams.
It is traversed by numerous herds of
buffaloes and wild horses, and by a
iew roving tnnes oi innians."
Poor Texas is a part of Mexico in
fact all the country west-of Louisiana,
Arkansas Territory, and the Missou
ri Territory aforesaid, to the Pacific
Ocean, aud south of Oregon is Mexico.
The western part of Illinois, above
the Illinois river is the "Military
Bounty Lauds," and the region east
of the Illinois is "Grand Prairie."
Northern Illinois and Indiana is pos

SWIMMING IN THE SALT LAKE.
New York Sun Utah Letter.
There are no fish in the great Salt
Lake. The only living thing beneath
its waters is a worm, about a quarter
of an iuch long. This woim shows
up beautifully beneath tbe lens of a
microscope. When a storm arises.the
worms are driven ashore by thous
ands, and devoured by the black gulls.
We found a pure stream pouring into
the lake. It was filled with little
chubs and shiners. The fish became
frightened, and were driven down
the brook into the briny lake. The
Instant they touched its waters they
came to the surface belly upward and
died without a gasp.
The water Is remarkably buoyant.
eggs and potatoes float upon it like
corns, iur. itood and myHelf stripped

the lake from a long pier, which had
been built for the use of asraall steam
boat that formerly plied upon the wa
ters. The sensation wss novel. The
water was so salty that my eyes and
ears began to smart, but so buoyant
that I found no d fnculty in floating
even when the air was, exhausted in
my lungs. As I struck out for the
beach I felt as light as a feather. In
spite of all that I could do my heels
would fly out of the water. I found
it impossible to stand iioon the bot
tom. The lightness of the water and
the surging of the waves forced my
feet from under me. A person who
could not swim might be easilydrown
ed in five feet of water. His head
would go down like a lump of lead,
while h s feet would fly up like a pair
of ducks. The water is as ilear as the
water of Seneca Lake; so c ear that
the bottom could be Been at the dcDth
of twenty feet. When we reached
the shore and crawled out unon the
sand In the light of the sun our bodies
were quickly coated w th salt. We
were compelled to go to the little
stream from which we had driven thp
chubs and shiners and wash off in
fresh water before we put on our
clothes Our hair was filled with
grains of salt whi h could not be

The Adams County Gazette, pub

sensible remarks upon the success of
Nebraska in taking the leading-premium
at the meeting of tbe American
Pomological Society in Boston :
So great was the enthusiasm over
our fruits that members from Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, and a
number of otherrStates, seized upon
specimens of them, and carried them
offfor exhibition at their fairs thus
giving our fruit raising capacities a
very wide and desirable publicity.

the most altectivs of all possible im
migration agencies. One of the
strongest bars hitherto to immigration
to the newer west has been the im
pression that fruit cannot be raised
there. But here is the3'oungestof the
sisterhood of States, carrying off. in
two successive trials, the highest
prize over all competitors, from the
whole Union, and Canada as well -virtually
n triumph over the whole
Continent.
The papers, too, speak of it, as a no
ticable thing, the declaration from
our St te to the Fair is headed by our
Governor. It is a thing to be proud
of. that we have a Governor, who Is
not only interested in such things, but
who has done so much to promote the
horticulture or arboriculture of our
State, by which this triumph has bopn
won. Tho State owes him a debt
therefor that if cannot well repay.
i or must the agency of the B. & M.
R. R. in this matter b'p forgotten. The
sending of that special car, especially
painted and lettered for this purpose,
was an effective herald, proclaiming
all thp wav from Lincoln to Boston
the bold hand we were playing and
our confidence in tho result a confi
dence not at all misplaced, as the

way of calling attention (o Nebraska

THE PANIC OF 1S73.
Tbe two causes generally assigned
for the pauio of 1S73 wre the Bank of
-biiiglaud In 1S3G requiring payment
from the American houses in Lon
don, and the passing of tho "Surplus
Reveuue" bill by Congress, which
latter had the effect of causing the
bank oredits, which represented the
surplus revenue, to be transferred
from place to place without any re
gard to the laws of trade. The com
bination of these circumstances wasH
too much for the banks, and they all
simultaneously stopped payment in
May, 1S73, as well as three leading
American houses In London. The
depreciation in bank notes through
out the country varied from 12 to 25
per cent. The Eastern banks adopt
ed all proper measures to secure
speedy resumption of payments, but
their efforts were not seconded by
those of other parts of the country,
and in the West and South new
banks continued to be erected. Du
ring the remainder of 1S37 and in
183S the excess or" sppioe imporLs over
exports was $1S,000,000 of which a
part was setit to the Bank of Eng
laud to enable the Ame. lean tanks to
resume. Iu May. 183G. tbe banks of
New England aud New York re
sumed and continued to pay specie.
In August following the banks of
Philadelphia proposed to pay specie,
and by January, 1839, there was a
nominal resumption of payment
throughout the countrv. October.
however, of the same year the Phila
delphia banks suspended a second
time ; resumed in January, 1841 ;
suspended a third time the 4th of the
February following and did not per
manently resume till March, 1842.
In 1837 there were 788 banks in the
country, employing a capital of $290,-000,000.

PANIC OF
Up to August, 1857. that proved so
fatal to all the business interests of
the country, commercial affairs had
been pursuing the even tenor of their
way on the high road of prosperity.
Everything pointed to a still more
prosperous figure. The mania for
building railways had apparently
been nipped, if not in the bud, atleast
before it had extended too greatly the
country's credit, and although there
were several hundred million of for
eign capital in use. in case of its be
ing recalled the home market could
register the bonds which represented
it at half the par cost. The wisest
Solomons of banking saw no indica
tions of the coming storm in the com
mercial shies. When, on the 8th of
August, the loans reached the unpre
cedented height of $122,000,000, even
then a reduction of $10,000,000 or $12,
000,000 during the autumn months
without injury to commerce was de
clared possible, and in pursuance of
this declaration the banks began to
contract their loans. Never was an
act followed by more fearful conse
quences. The prices of securities at
the Stock Board immediately fell.
The failure of a heavy produce house,
altho' accounted for by the depression
of that particular interest in the mar
ket, and the report of a defalcation iu
a leading railway company caused a
suspicion of a coming crisis to taint
the public security, but failed to seri
ously effuct the general confidence.
On the 24th of the month the news of
the suspension of the Ohio Life Iu3u
sance and tho Trust Company came
lika thunder from the clear sky. The
financial circle vibrated to its center ;
bunking officers, panic stricken by the
suddenness of the blow, at once lost
their heads. The days of 37', seemed
once more upon them and financial
chaos was come again. Stocks and
commercial paper were at once sacri
ficed at ruinous rates, other failures
were announced, and rumors exagger
ated each culamity. The Clearing
House report of Aug. 29 the first af
ter the suspension of the lrust Com
pany showed a reduction oi $4,000,
000 in the bank loans for tke previous
week. A defalcation was announced
on the same day of $70,000 in one of
the associated banks, and so great was
tbe general mistru-t that other insti
tutions immediately became suspect
ed of similar dishonesty. The most
substantial securities in the market
sold for next to nothing atpublicsale
and while the regular discount of
bills by the hank bad been nearly
suspended, street rates for money on
the most unquestioned securities rose
to what was up to that time unheard
of here five per cent, a month and
money could not lie bad at any rate
on ordinary promissory notes and
bills of exchange. Cc minercial house
after commercial house, bank after
bank succumbed to the panic. The
panic extended through the entire
country. The failure of the Bink of
Peuusylvaniu, in Philadelphia, was
followed by that of the other banks of
that city, and by those i f Baltimore
and of the Southern Atlantic State
generally. The panic was no respect
er of persons. Merchants, bankers,
moneyed corporations, and manufac
turing compunies were swept down
without distinction. Commercial
business was everywhere suspended ;
the purchase and transportation of
produce entirely ceas-d ; and tbe cli
max only was reached when, on the
14th of October, the bank suspensions
of New Yrok and New England took
place. For this almost universal sus
pension the banks could notcluim the
want of fuith among the depositors to
be the cause. Despite the distrust
that early began to eltect the entire
country, the depositors stood well by
their guns, aud not till the 29th of
September did they begin to be
alarmed. For the five suoces-lve
weeks preceeding they withdrew less.
trom the banks each week than the
banks withdrew from them by the de
pression of loans. Although the pan
ic started ou the 25th of August,
caused by the contraction of loans,
ami was at once carried by the tele
grams with the speed of light to nil
parts of the country, no marked with
drawal of deposits by individual de
positors took place fltiywhere till
more than an entire month later.
Up to that time the dpoitors pre
sented a steady front, apparently de
termined to sustain tho public credit
if anything else failed. But when
October came in. resistance ceased at
once to be a virtue, and on the third
of that month a marked change came
over the spirit of the depositors.
