It is stated by one learned in such matters, that the air of the equator is lending always toward the poles, while that from the poles moves as constantly toward the equator. Where the currents clash, rotation ensues and 6torm centers are formed. There must be some very bad peo ple living in Indiana. The last re port from one of them says James Dyer, of Owen county, is on trial at Terre Haute for burning his house with bis two crippled children, who were in the way of bis second marriage. Philadelphia's new post-office, which is soon to bo occupied, cost about $8,000,000.

Grant, on leaving home in New York city on the 27th ult, slipped upon the ice and fell, receiv ing a Bevere shock and seriously in juring his thigh. The surgeons say that no bones were broken, but think the limb will be paralyzed for the time being. The Ponca Journal reports a dis covery of coal in Dixon county by Prof. Perrigone. The vein is about eight inches thick and of & good qual ity. There is hardly enough of it to create much excitement among the Poncaites. It is like the gold in the Platte river. The most stylish turn-out on Sev enth Avenue, New York, is U. S. Grant, jr's. It ia a Russian drosky, such as the General used to drive in Galena, drawn by three Arabian stal lionB harnessed abreast.

At Baltimore, the other day, Henry Smith, with many aliases, just as he was embarking for Europe, was ar rested for robbing Wells & Fargo's express in Nebraska, and the United States mails on the Pacific railroad. The former crime waB committed last March, and the latter in September. Efforts are being made by the CatholicB of Denver, to make that city the seat of the largest Jesuit college in America. Twenty-five thousand dollars have already been subscribed toward a fund for the erection of the necessary buildings, and much moro is promised under certain conditions.

Edward Ducuamen, of Cincinnati, the other morning stabbed his wife and thought he had killed her and gave himself up to the police. He was locked up, and the case investi gated.

Va., the coroner's jury, after five days' investigation, has found that Mrs. Summcrfield and her child, whose remains were found in the ruins of their burned bouse last week, were murdered before the nouse was fired, and charged John Flannagan with the murder. He is now in jail. South Carolina has a local option law which applies to incorporated cities, towns and villages. When a place votes in favor of prohibition it is said to have gone "dry," and when another votes for license it is said to have gone "wet." More than twice as many towns have gone "dry" as have gone "wet." The rise and fall oflhe great lakes is puzzling the old settlers. At Grand Traverse Bay the water 6lowly rises for seven years, and then recedes for the same length of time. The Sault Ste. Marie Democrat says that the water in the "Soo" is lowering every day. At Traverse City the water is encroaching on the west side of the bay. One of the novelties in London is tho literary bracelet. It is made ol twelve tiny books (silver or gold), attached to each other by a double chain. Each little book bears the enambled name of a favorite poet or novelist.

Bland, chairman of tho com mittee on coinage, weights and meas ures favors recoining tho trade dol lars into standard dollars and thinks the issuing of the latter should not be stopped. He is of opinion that a mint ought to be established in the Mississippi valley, and on account of the advantages offered by St. Louis, favors that city for the location. Rev. Mb. Miller, of Zion church, Hempstead, L. I., had received no salary for several months, and having nothing to eat, took $22 of the church money tbatcame. into his possMtioB, and gave the church credit. They concluded that if he couldn't work for nothing and board himself 'he should give way to one who could, and appointed Rev. Mr. Hicks in his place. Paris. A reinforcement of 6,300 troops go to Tonquin. soon. The government has no information about Sontay be ing occupied. News from Hong Kong says' the French have captured the principal outpoBts of Sontay, embracing iive strongly fortified villages. The ene my made a stubborn resistance. The French loss was 200 men. and fifteen officers killed and wounded. The Chinese still hold the fortress of Son tay, butaresurrounded by theFreuch. Leader. Recent news from Loudon says the police declare without foundation the rumor of a plot against Gladstone and for the destruction of public build ings. The precautions are in conse quence of vagne threats. The British regiments in Egypt will be filled to the strength of 1,000 men each and seven moro regiments-areto be ordered to Egypt A dispatch from Hong Kong states that the fight at Sontay occurred on. the 14th. Two outworks were -captured and the citadel surrounded by the French. Mr. Cullom has introduced iu.'the senate a bill to establish a board of railroad commissioners and to regu late interstate commerce. The board under this bill will consist of five members at a salary each of $5,000 making a total of $25,000, rather an expensive method of securing the right. We may be mistaken in our opinion, but we incline strongly to the belief thai a plain, good law regu lating railroads and interstate com merce would be readily complied with by the railroad authorities and when violated could readily be en forced in the courts without the annu al expenditure of $25,000. An important and somewhat won derful compact was signed by the railway officials at Omaha on the 29th ult, and the new organization, the result of their labors, will be known as the Western Trunk Line Associa tion, and embraces the following roads : The Northwestern, the Rock Island, the Missouri Pacific, the Mil waukee, the Wabaah, the Illinois Cen tral, the St. Paul & Omaha, aud the Union Pacific. The Union Pacific will commence on Tuesday of this week to bill goods direct from Salt Lake to Chicago and all points on the lines of its allies. This new associa tion gives to the Union Pacific the use of twenty-six thousand miles of track, and their eastern allied roads will use the U. P. track in like manner. Congressman Cox, of New York, who was appointed chairman of the house committee on naval affairs, is reported to be dissatisfied with the appointment, and will probably de cline to serve on that committee. It is claimed by his friends that twenty two years' experience in the house entitled him to the chairmanship of foreign affairs, a place which he de sired to occupy as he contemplated advising a number of reforms in the line of reducing the number of for eign ministers, iuvesting consuls with diplomatic power when necessary, and improving the consular system so as to make it a more powerful agency for the advancement of tho commercial iuterests of the country. Congressman Springer's friends also report that he is dissatisfied with the chairmanship of the committee on the expenditures of the department of justice, as be desired the chairman ship of the committee on elections. His friends claim that his constituents have been insulted by his omission from all important committees. Harrison' Ram ox lived for many years iu Hinckley, Medina county, Ohio, and amassed considorable prop erty, most of which was in cash. He would not trust his money to the keeping of a bank, but hid it about his own premises, keeping the hiding place secret even from his own fam ily. A short time ago he told his wife that he had bidden about $30,000 in money, and that pretty soon he would inform her of its whereabouts, so that in case of his death she would know where to look for it. He neg lected to do this, and about a week after he died of apoplexy. After hits death an examination of his papers showed that he had 1335,000 in money all hidden about his premises. The most thorough search failed to reveal the hiding place, and the widow began to despair. Then she was impressed with the notion that if she prayed with faith the Lord would direct her to the place where the mouey was bidden. On Wednesday she prayed all day and night. On Thursday night she was impelled to go to the beehives, which stood on a bench near the house, and in ths excitement of expectation she knocked over one of the hives, disclosing to her view the top of a bench with a pile of greenbacks of large denomination upon it. A search under the other hives resulted iu finding a total of $15,000. In the afternoon one of the family dropped a bunch of keys through the barn floor, which necessi tated taking up a plank to find them, and when the young man put his hand down he struck a half gallon fruit jar, which be pulled out to find partly filled with $20 gold pieces. Other jars and a grain bag were also found containing gold and silver, and when it had all been counted the total amount figured up over $213,000. The widow was overjoyed, and in her statement to the correspondent said she believed that the discoveries were in direct answer to her prayers. Boiton Qlobe. The annu-il dinner of the Now Eng land Society nt I'tMinsylvauit, was held tliir) M-aoii at the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia. Among the guests were President Arthur, Secre tary Chandler, Senator Hawiey, Rev. Dr. Leomrd Wool3ey B:icou. In response to the toast, "The President of the United State?," General Arthur said: "I confess Mr. Chairmm. that ray enjoyment of this annual dinner has been somewhat inirred by. the knowledge. that-1 should be at this moment dining with my own chapter of this society, and that it has been an act or'abmdoniug my brethren of the New York branch of the society which has brought me within reach of your generous hospitality ; but what difference can it make whether I dine in Philadelphia or in New York The president cannot be in both cities at once. Iudeed, I heard it said that it ia only a relic that can be in more than one place at a time, aud surely no president tihould bo classed a a relic until he has given his place to his successor. Last evening I dined with the New England society of Brooklyn and the hearty welcomo ex tended me, so completely bereft me of thanks to the expressions of pleasure that this fresh draft on my power finds me utterly bankrupt. I thank you very much for the welcome given roe, aud can only say, 'Long lifo to your society and its promoters.'" Secretary Chandler, in responding to the toast, "The army aud navy," paid tributes to Generals Grant, Sherman and Sheridau, and expressed the hope that "a grateful eougress and williug president" would restore tho former soldiers to the rolls of the army. Re ferring to the navy, he spoke strongly of what he termed "complete restora tion," with doing away with all ancieut ships and smooth-bore guuH and substituting steel ships and high power cannon, of which we have not one single specimen to show. Chand ler, iu the course of his remark, spoke iu praise of the steamers of the Amer ican Steamship Company, as being the only line of foreign steamers fly ing tho Amorican flag, whereupon Shortridgc, director of the American Steamship Company arose and said the company were negotiating for the sale of its ships, as it could not be made to pay while ruu under the American flag, but could be under the ensign of Great Britain. This state ment was not received with applause. Lippitt, Leak & Co. are subject to all tho mishaps aud disappointments that other meu are liable to who carry on an extensive business iu any di partment ot lite. But they were in t expecting their business to be inter rupted by the action of a genuine thief in stealing aud appropriating to his own uso a portion of their best property shipped to their salesmen of this city, Galley Bros. The stock aud quality of tho goods may not be so good as our salesmen may have ex pected and required by reasou of the action of the thief. 1 Application for Druggists Permit.
