Among the passengers on Monday, on the American Line Steamship British Urowu'' was Miss Benedicta Price, aged sixty-three year. She was met on laud ing by her intended husband, Thomas Barbour, aged seveuly. The two had beeu engaged for thirty years and had cuot seen each other for twenty-eight years.

'Why, there's nothing there that my Matt couldn't do," said Mrs. Captain Webb ou Monday morning as sue looked into the Niagara whirlpool.

But there is another aspect to the case.

Scarcely a day passes. without some account of a military or nival officer who has been arrested for duplicating his pay." The process it, simple "easy as lying." An officer goes to some tradesman or banker with wLoiu lis is acquainted and gives an order upon his paymaster lor a month's pay, tht ordr to be sent iu ut the end of the said mouth. The officer receives tho amount, spends tho money at u gaming tablo or elsewhere, wants moro of tho ueediuf" and procures it by giving another order for tho tamo month's pay to another friend. Thai's how it'b done. Jame3 Carey, founder of the "Iuyii el ides," chief iustigator cf the Plioeuix Park murders, and alterwsrdu inlornur against the partners of bis guilt, has met his own death from tho hand ol an as- sisiin. Tbe English government sent Carey, bis wife and seven children under the assumed named of Power, to Port Elizabeth, South Africa. On ihe voyage out Carey made the ut miamtance of a man named O'Doutiell. Both passengers changed ships ut Cape Town for Cape Llizibeth and last Saturday while tho hhip was in Algoa Bay and Cary and O-. Donnell wire drinking iu the ship's sa. loon, O'Douuell shot Carey three times ij presence of the informer's family, Carey died within twenty minutes. O' Donnell gave himself up to tho author! tits, aud wus tried last Tutsdav beforo n magistrate nt Port Elizabeth. Whcu O Donnell has beeu punished we shall prabably have heard the hist or a terrible chapter iu tho history of British Rule in Ireland. A fpecial correspondent of the Pkess ia Ireland, in exprttsing his opinions that the country is only fit for grazing, makes the following suggestive ccm incuts: "This wet climate is growing moro humid year by year. It is getting less Ct for cereals every season. Iu the raising of bread-stuffj, the staff cf life, it cannot compete with America. All the grain raised now has to be dried by nr Uncial teat. That alone puts an sddlt ional expense upou the gruin that moro lhau balances oceau trausporlion. Even tbe potatoes ere no longer safe to keep from season to seasou. They aro too wet. Asa matter of fact then, grazing pays better than tilioge in Ireland. That economio law of uature. aiding tho des potic landlord, Ij pioducingn creat coin plicatiou. With the laud laws omeudeo to tho eutire satisfaction of the Irish, the uot that they cannot now raise their own bread stuff as cheap as thev cau tret It irom America, whose pro motions are ever increasing, presents a question that an Irish Parliament my not fiud easy of somuon. bKMos uoa l-'iuNcuci Barca, the Spaulsh Minister to the United States, shot aud killed himself in his rooms ul tbe Albemarle Hotel between 2 o'clock and sunrise on Sunday morning.

MoDZnx railroad and marine accidents pale belorn tho loss of life cause by en earthquake which occurred ou au island off the coast of Italy last Saturday night. Tho island of Ischia. in the Medlteran- eau sea, is about 20 miles southwest of Naples. Its chief town Casamicciola has a. population of 4,200 people. On Saturday evcuing, about half past nine o'clock, white a good many of its lead lug inhabitants wero at the theatre, the convulsions of an earthquake were beard ail around the island, aud.iu a few iniu- utes the principal town was almost en tirely destroyed aud two ueighboring villagis wero seriously damaged. From the latest despatches we bum that more than 3U0O, people lost theirllves and that 1000 are seriously injured. Tho earth seems to httveglven way without warning, thus resembling the great Lisbon earth quake when 00,000 people were wiped out of existence in six minutes. The isl and of Ischia is iu the very heart of tbe Eastern world's eurtLqusLe regiou aud within a lew miles of the volcano of Vssuvfus, and the disaster of Saturday nlcht is tho third which has befallen tbe slaud iu recent years. Earthquakes have always been frequent and violent in Southern aud Central Italy. In C3 A. D. Herculaneum and: Pompeii were nearly Itstroyed by an eartLquake which they escaped ouly to he buried under the ash e ol Vesuvius. The grtaleartl.qnakein Calabria, Southern Italy, by which 100, 000 persons lost their lives in 1783, will never be largotten. Tho great difficulty that arises to common understandings, when such fuels are disclosed, is,, "why do people, of thtlr own lree will, take up their residences to ver close to the jaws of deathr Notwitustasdixo the statements of Jny Gould and other "bosses" of the Western Union to the contrary, it is well established by lutcst reports from nil parts of the country that the boasted victory of tho Union ovirthe Telegraph lirotherhood is what may bo called all poppycock." The priseut strike among tho oiieratcrs is probably the most pow, fill and well-advised that bus ever been conducted. It Vus the sympathy ut very class in tho coiumuuiiy, except that of "Jay Gould nnd compauy." Suf ficient money has been luist d by varuus kindred societies to n-.niutuin the strug gle lor months, if necetsary. A rival elegraph company is "wulliiug iuto the hoet." of the Union und the importation of opirators troui England cannot meet the difficulty as the two systems of tele graphy are quite different. As cn iu- tance of the public sympathy, the Rev. Dr. Pullmau, of New York, said lust Sunday iu his sermon upon "The Moral Aspects of the Strike.'' "Iu piojariug my seruiou' I have had interviews with more than half n dozen of the n ost prominent iron manufacturers in this city. I could see that deep down in thiir hearts they sympathized with the tele graphers, because they recognized the fact on which I insist, namely that there are two kinds of capitalists. One class has capitul properly earned and wisely administered. The other class consists of speculators, inspired by insatiate greed, who try to get something foruoth- iug. It is easy to see to which class tbe Western Union belongs." Auother cler g man cf the same oily said, "Couiuiuu ism so far bus not made a footing in this laud, ulthougb it has bbr.keu the throues of European despots. But if those vust moutipelies which have grown up around us aro uot put down' or checked, I say to Commuuitui 'God Speed'; lor I believe tho time bus comewheu the American peoplo must have either relorui or revo lution." DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. The convention which met at Ilariis- burg on Wednesday had plenty of good timber to stlect from for nomination to the office of Auditor-General and State Treasurer. Neither of the candidates tc lected sought the honor which was con ferred upon tlitm, and thanks to tho good management of Heusel, there was no confusion growing out uf the change in the representation. At tho morning session Robert E. Wright, of Lehigb.wan appointed temporary chairman. The time until noon adjournment was passed in the arrangement of committees on permanent orauizition, rt solutions and credentials. After tbe rece, Robert E. James, of Northampton, was appointed permauent president. Hts speech was handsomely applauded all the wa) through. The nominations fur Auditor Gem ml and State Treasurer vwra then proceeded with. There were no long speeches. Bnslue-s was tbe crder of the day. For Auditor General the following were caudidutes: W. II.

The caudi'd itos for Treasurer's nomin ation were ex-Cougressman Joseph Pow- ell. of Bralford; B Bryson MoCoul, of Sabuylkill; Thomas MacReynolda, ol Bnoka. aud Hugh Maokin. of Phlladel phia. Ou the second ballot Powell got tbe nomination. Taggert is n't a Patti- sou man although he was suppoited by tbe administration's friends .vhou they failed in their boema tor btrauuu.au or Miller. The committee on resolutions then presented a long "platform" report o which we bavo ouly space for a digest. The Democracy of Pennsylvania be. ji,Te a ,t,ict eontruotIon and rlghl enforcement of the Federal Constitution;! the rights of local self government, aud thorough reform of tho Civil-Service. !

After a resolution against convict labor ns at present carried on tho convention came to a close. Robert Taggert, of Tidloute, Warren county, was bora iu Pittsburg, iu 1830.

Odb Reoolab Letteb.J Washikqton, D. C, July 30, 18S3. Tho usr.al summer hegira of those whoso purses are long enough to enable them to hegirate ia practically ended, although the President is yet here exud iug perspiration ft, tbe Soldiers' Home. Were it not for tho blistering coucrete with which nearly all the streets, ave nues aud eidewalks are paved, Wash ington would be one of the most comfor table of summer residences, because her wide and well-shaded thoroughfatis admit all tho breezes that distribute themselves from the open Virgiuii bol der and tho always breezy Chesapeake. Years ago it was no uussual thing for Congress to extend its long sfssions way iuto August, but that was bsfore the inauguration of tbe Newport and Sara toga ixactious upon fashonable society. Nor was it then customary for the Pre si d 'Ut, savo on rare cccasious, to leave the oity during his term of effice, de spite the fact that the White House wus located where malarial lever and con comitant diseases were a cunslant men- ice. The interminable journeys requit ed for members of Congress to reach their bonus before thu ruilivud epoch, kept many of them here during vaca tion, and U idstiy's aud the more promi nent hotits did quite us lively u business in thu sweltering Kuisou as. during tho C'lugressiouul term. It runy bo, how ever, that our latter-day stutismeu are uot utile to stand as much uf summtr heat as the Websters and CI us and Calliouus of forty yi'urs ago, whe-u ictd tea and other cooling liquid relresUniruls nursed through a straw were iu their in fancy. Washington then as now took the lead iu everything perlaiuiug tu matters ot social intercourse, nnd the iuevitable dinuer party was lever ai. lowed to sulltr interruption dining the hottest days of the heated teilu, tho'lgh dancing was at a decided discouut iu twetu the months of March and Novem ber. There were no swell parties ut the capitul iu those days, simply because they would uot be tolerated. Tl ey wete all a matter-oi-fact sort of people, whu were too close upou tho revolution to uouuteuauce snobbery cyeu iu its mild est lorm; jet sume of them yet live to see their degenerate sons und daughters with such strong tendency toward the aristocratic mannerisms cf Europe us to make us fear for the safely of our boasted democracy aud homespun civility. The Indian problem will conio iu for its annual airing at the coming session of Congress, by some strong reci m- raeudiitions from Secretary Teller look nic to the abolition of thoso customs aud habits of Mr. Li which have hith. orto operated as hindrances to any ap proacbing civilisation, While it may be admitted that a Congreesional enactment has no little potency iu many directions, them is cause for apprehension that a statute prohibiting the perpttnation of those, customs that absolutely make up tbe existeucsof the Indian will have about as much effect ns the Pout's bull against the comet. Deprive Ihe Indian of those saltatory amusements found iu the sun-dauce, the seal p-dance, tho war dance, and tbe horribly superstitions conjurings of tho uiedicine-mau, aud ho Is deprived cf all that ho conceives is worth liviug for. It strikes a most de moralizing blow at bis social condition, and in so much stands iq the way of any attempt to invest bim with any senti mcst favorable to a civilized life. The long haired philanthropists who atu dis tance of a thousand miles view the In dians as a man a brother, and who gath er their notions of bis comlttiou from all sorts of impossible legends aud poeti cal roinauoeB, aro satisfied to contiuue him iu his character of the nation's ward aud eucourage him in the capacity of un ablrt-bodied loafer, who never in the world will get out of the way of civiliz ation so long as there is a government to feed and clothe him. Hud it uot been for this mistaken public sentiment at the east, a long stride toward civilizing the border savage would have beeu made years ago, wbeu the government resolved to make the Indian go to work and earn his living. The 8'iue meusuria should be agaiii adopttd and thoroughly en. forced, so that if the Iudiau is really su ceptihlenf bring brought to a rondilino of civllizitinn it mar be demonstrated. Tuere woul I be something tangible and utilizing iu an emiciuwit that would comptl au Indian tu go to work aud ubandou his lr.!uea and bis predatory aud warlike habits, which, beiug done. be woald lwoome merobw ot the body politic, throw off his miserable condition of mendicancy, nnd cease being, as he now is aud ever has been, a government pauper. The present pnbllo impression is decidedly in favor of ihe Cougtesslo mil abolition of the policy that mukos vagrants of the Indian tribes everywhere, and that being douo the habits and cus toms that tbo Interior department so solemnly deprecates will depart with it. The visit of the President to tbe Yel lowstone Park couuty Is a new and per. baps a good departure in the line of Presidential junketing. It will unfold to thB execcutive eyo n region whose Tastncss will nstouud blm nnd whoto picturesque, beauty will delight him. The country abounds in gamoof all sorts, while its lakes and streams are overpop ulated with fish that were uever fretted by the white mau's book or reel. The hunting and fishing, therefore, may rea sonably be expected to occupy tbe best portiou of the time of the Presidential party, though it is given out that the visit is ouo rather of business than of pleasure. To make tho journey thither nnd the stay as ccm foi table ns possible, the Secretary of War lias m ido the most elaborate prepara' tlons, including means for the talety of tho President Rgaiust possible incursion h Iudians nod invasions by office-set 1; ers. The commissariat will co,nro favor ibly with that furnished by Maio Antony lor his female compatriot, Clio palrn, so that there need be no appio henslou iu regard to tho Presidential gastronomy. Relays of oouriers at every ten milts will keep the President advised of tho coutiuued existence of the government, but there will be n matter of two weeks during which ho will not get hold of a newspaper of any kind, which is n deprivation perhaps that he will cordially accept. l)uM Pedbo. f Fuou ova Special Chunks ton oknt.1 Washington, D. 0 July 30, 18S3. .Washington nyerwi)lbe metropoli tan, but it is making n faster progress toward being cosmopolitan than mai y realize.
