OUTRAGE IN 01IIO.
I A Mail Roasted Over a Slow Fire.
The Mahonlnff (Ohlol Register says: Mr.
Wni. Murrin is an aged man living in Coltsvllle,
near ttie Kate line, lie nan considerable means.
I He gave two hundred acres of land to the esta-
1 blitbment of a cenvent in .Bedford, and was
I snpposed to keep a large sum of money in the
I house where he lived alone, and remote from
I anv other human beinz. On Suturday night.
I the 21st of April, three men emoied his house
I and arouetd him from his bed, and demanded
fi that be should show them where his money was,
inreatemug thai it ne Md nottney would mnraer
him. Such threats induced Mr. Murrin to tell
them where they would find a little over fifty
dollars in gold and silver, which was all he bad
in the house. This they took, but were not
satisfied.
Believing that there was More money about
the house, notwlth&tandins his assurance to the
contrary, they kindled a fire in the stove aud
held Mr. Murrin over it, subjectinfr him to a
alow torture of the most uainful kind. Ttiey
persisted In this torture till they fouud that they
could get no mora plunder, when they left their
victim In horrible pain u the be, and de
parted. In the merning Mr. Murrin managed to
1 reacb the nearest neignoer , house, and told bis
I story, feearcn waa at once instituted far the
t desperadoes. The eld gsntleman was not able
and therefore the search is somewhat futile.
Suspicion has been placed on one or two bad
haracters who were seen in this vicinity a day
or two previous, but ne information could be
obtained to jastify any arrests.
Thieves at Aurusta, Ga., steal the street
lamps. Mosquito nest on the Mississippi are
searched lor the bones of lost children.

A NOYEL IDEA,
General Pleasanton's Theory of the Diffe
rence of Chemical Power la the Sun's
Rajs Interesting Experiments.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Pennsylvania Society for promoting agricul
ture, held last week, General Pleaaanton rea l
an able wi interesting essay on the use of
blue glass in the development of vegetable
and animal life:
The General gave an Account of an experi
ment of his own with a grapery of 84 by 20
feet, and 1G feet in height at the ridge.
Into the glazing of the grapery, at every
seventh row of white panes, a row of violet
panes (blue not being at tke time procurable
bad been introduced, alternating on opposite
sides of the roof, so that a violet beam might
fall eventually on every leaf in the grapery.
The cuttings planted bad grown rapidly. The
gardener was kept busy daily in tying up new
wood which the day before he had not ob
served. In a few weeks after planting, the
walls and the inside of the roof were closely
covered with luxuriant foliage. A distin
guished seedsman has borne his testimony
that he had never seen any vines that equalled
those thus treated.
The vines were planted in April, 18(51. In
18C2 they bore a ' wonderful number of
branches. It waa found that the building,
small as it was, contained no less than twelve
hundred pounds of grapes. In 180:! the
amount of fruit was quite as large as during
the preceding year, and so it had continued
season after season without abatement, the
vines seeming to require no time to rest.
The next experiment was with the piggery.
A glazed roof half white , and half violet was
placed over the building, and similar resulls
were obtained, the animals thriving beyond
expectation.
An Alderney calf, so pnny and feeble that
its life was despaired of, was placed in a pen
under violet glass. In 24 hours a marked
changed had occurred. The calf rose to its
feet, walked about the pen, took its food
from the finger, and manifested great viva
city. In a few days its feebleness bad dis
appeared; it began to gr6w, and its develop
ment was marvellous.
The same principles have been applied to
the raising of poultry with the most remark
able success.
Senator Sehurz on Ills Attitude In Con.
gress Explanations to Ills Constitu
ents. The following extract from tho speech of
Senator Pcburz, at the serenade given himiu St.
Louis on Tuesday last, presents its principal
points:
in ine constitutional limitation oi poiuicai powers,
we find, as our ancestors always have found, ttio
mala safeguards of popular liberty. And when
those constitutional limitations are disregarded,
even for tho protection of the rights of
some, those rights will be put in juopardy by the
danger Dion gut upon ine rigius oi an. rne safe
guards of eur common light and liberties contained
in the Constitution are too Bucred and valuable a
boon to be permanently jeopardized lu providing
for a passing emergency, for reasons like tnese I
found mjseif compelled to oppose the so-called Ku
klux bill even against a majority of my party friend
in uongress. sneers.)
But a still mere striKing instance or tnat loose
ness of constitutional notions revealed Itself in that
most 11 an rant usurpation of the war-making power
by the Executive lu the Santo Domltgo case, an
attempt not only utterly without parallel in the
history of the country, but without the Bhadow of a
constitutional argument to palliate It. Startling as
tttat attempt was, moie startling is it mat sucu au
at t should bo fur have passed without a declaration
of sentiment lu Uongre, preventing it from be
coming a most dangerous piecedeut lu our history.
But worse still Is it, that such an act can be com
mitted witlnut at least arousing public opinion to
a commanding deruonstrHttou oi disapproval It is,
indeed, time that the American people should open
tliclr eyes to the dangerous character of this ten
dency, and that neither a great name nor an object
appealing to our syuipatuies should be permitted to
dibKUi.se it.
as for we, I have seen the working of irresponsi
ble power and personal government la other coun
UUh, and I may arm re my constituents that while I
am a citizen oi mis Ktpuonc i mini struggle to ids
lust gasp against Its introduction he id. (Great
entering.)
J shall, as neretoiore, give my earnest enorw to
the sutiM-ct of civil service relorm, not only with a
view to raise the standard of working efficiency lu
the service of the Government, but to the abolition
oi I he patronage, or wore properly the spoils sys
tem, whi:h aurrounas th Executive with syco
phants, and as 1 once expressed it in another place,
Kith tlaitt-ry that the sound-wave of public opinion
cannot penetrate it. (Great cheering.) A system
whicQ Is trai.kioniiiBg into office-mongers the repre
btntauves of the people is most t-enously endan
gering the indi-penoekce or tne leiblativt braucQ
of tli Government, and is gradually deiuuruKzlur
our whole political life.
Finally, yen will find my voice and my vote In op
position to that most unjust bystem of taxation
which, by in( itn of a high protective tarlir, under
tke pretense of developing certain Industrial Inte
rests, takes money out or the poccetsof the many
tnd puts it Into the pockets of the few (cheers i
lns'ead ot the treasury of the people; and ia raver
ot such an adjustment of onr taxes as will distribute
n cnt equally t he common burden, reducing taxation
toaa low a point as will le compatible wltn thecoa-
sileiitious disctiargo oi our uatioaai eongatious ana
an economical administration of the Government.
Here, my friends, you have In a few words my poli
tical nrouramme, touching the most Important
questions now beiore the people; tirm and uncom
promising maintenance or eqaai nguis as guaran
teed by the Constitution as It U; amnesty and a
policy calculated to restore fraternal feeling; strict
fidelity to the essential principles of constitutional
government; reform of the c(vd service; revenue
reform, and a reduction of taxes. In these things I
honcstlv believe, and in working for taolr realiza
tion J am profoundly in earnest.
