Yebt recently, says the Savannah Newt, two Massachusetts detectives, In search of a swindler named Wilbur, whoso arrest has been duly chronicled, bad occasion to lay a requisition for the criminal before Governor Smith. His Excellency, after in- vestigating tlio facts of the case, informed the detectives that he was only glad to re spond to the legal requirement of the Mas sachusetts Governor, but expressed a sin cere regret that the document was not more general iu its terms and specifics' tious, in aider that ho micrhb give the offi cers an opportunity of carrying off a train load of cai-pot-baggors. We are glad to know that the old max im that the " receiver is as bad as the thief " lias not been entirely forgotten, as we notice that some of the Congressmen who have tried to make personal capital by approDriatincr their "back pay" to local purposes have not been strictly successful Roosevelt, of New York, thought to dis tribute his share of the grab among the school boards of his district, but one of the boards has given public notice that it will not -accept a donation that comos in such a tqjscKtionable way. Farnsworth of Illinois, a member who is a good deal given to "buncombe," undertook to divido his back pay between the different counties repre sented by him. The people of Kano county, liowever, declined to participate in this kind cf humbug, and have directed that what they received shall be returned to the . United States treasury, where it belongs These are some of the troubles that follow the unworthy pursuit of personal gain. Surrender of Captain Jack and his Band. Applegato's House, Clear Lake, Califor nia, Juno 1st, 3.80 P. M. At half-past ten o'clock this morning the Warm spring scouts struck the trail, and after a brief search tho Modocs were discovered. Col. Perry surrounded the Indian retreat. His men were bound to fight. : Buddeuly a Mo doc shot out from tho rocks with a white Haot. He met a Warm Spring scout and said - Jack wanted to surrender. Three scouts were sent to meet Jack. He came out cautiously glanced about a moment, and then, as if giving up all hope came forward and held out his hand to his vis! tor. Then two of his warriors, five squaws and seven children darted forth and Joined bim in surrender. The command that made this famous scout was the first squadron of the 1st cavalry, CoL D. Perry, composed of troop V., Lieutenant Miller, and troop II., Major Trumbull, and medical officer, Assistant Surceon Dowitt. The guides were C Pullman and H. A. Applegate. Captain Jack is about forty years old. five feet eight inches high, and compactly built. He has a large and well formed face, of individuality. Although dressed in old clothes, he looks every iuoli a chief. He does not speak to any one. The Mo docs are grouped in a field near the house, and surrounded by a guard. Spectators peer into Jack's face with eager interest, but he heeds thorn not ; be ts still as statue. A Curious Proposal. An individual has "written to the Gov ernment" from Tiffin, Ohio, offering to pay $00,000 for the privilege of exhibiting Cap tain Jack throughout the country for sixty days 80,000 to be paid on the delivery of Jack at Chicago, and the balance at the ex Iiration of the engagemont. The enter prising Tiffinor promises to keep Jaok se curely, treat bim well and return him the Government at the - end of the sixty days, provided be does not commit sui cide." In this event, $1000 per day is to he paid for the time he remains alive in the liands of the showman. 1 ' ' ' 1 Congress passed an act in 1808, to the fleet that iu the ease of the death or in ability of the Chief Justice to discharge his duties, the associate justice - holding the commission of the next date shall per form all the duties of the Chief Justice un til another is appointed. Under tills act Associate Justice Clifford will act as Chief Justice until the successor of the late Chief Justice Chase is appointed. Murdered by his Hon. On Tuesday morning last Frank II. Wal worth, aged nineteen years, shot and killed his father, Mansflold T. Walworth, In the Sturterant house, at New York. The de ceased was an author and boarded at the Sturtevant house. Ha did not live with his family, and domestic trouble was the cause of the tragedy.' Young Walworth, who lives at Saratoga, directly after the shooting went to the ' police station and surrendered himself. The following is the prisoners' story as told to the coroner in answer to questions put by the gentleman : I resido with my mother in Saratoga, my father having parted from her some years ago. Aly rather is a author, and 1 nave been studying law. I think my father was about 41 years old, but do not know where he was born. My father has not lived with my mother since we loft three years ago, Jrat he has repeatedly sent us threatening ana insulting loiters. I'niy a buuii. iiiuu since he threatened to shoot my mother and myself. 1 shot bim because of this. Not long ago I met him in the street in Saratoga, arid then told him if he did not keep away from us, or insulted my mother any more I would shoot him. I told bim there were bounds which I would not al low any man to go beyond with impunity, especially when my mother was being in sulted. Very Strict. The Cunard line of steamers has certaiu 'personal" regulations which a captain can only break in emergencies of tho most serious kind, and tho result of their well doflned instructions has been that they never lost a passenger. Some of these regu lations, indeed, are so strict as to be some what amusing. For instanco, not very long ago tho master of one of their Liverpool and New York fleet having a short time previously taken to himself a wife, applied for permission to take his helpmate with him for just one voyage. The request was granted more readily than lie had anticipa ted, but, as it turned out, the company took one view of the transaction and the captain another. Proceeding as usual to superintend the removal of the steamer from the dock to the river, he was astound ed to find a brother captain in the act of giving orders. Explanations were given, and it transpired that though the company were not unwilling that Captain should take his wife to America, tliey were not disposed to trust him with the ship also. Ono charge was sufficient where tho lives of nearly a thousand passengers and tho safety of a very largo amount of property were concerned. The story illustrates very forci bly the mannor in which the Cunard pio priotors have obtained their reputation both for speed and safety. Facts for the People. A sewing machine costs for the work and material $12. We pay $00 for it. The same machines are exported to Europe and sold for $33, after paying freight across the Atlantic. I found in the Bel fast Newt, of Dec. 4, 1873, the advertise ment of the "Singer" sewing machine for 0 10s, about $33.60 of our currency. We pay the difference of nearly $30, under our patent laws, for being the most patient and gullible fools that ever pretended to a capacity of self-government. McCormick gave evidence in a lawsuit, recently, that his reapers cost $!i0 to man ufacture. We pay nearly $300 for them. Destructive Fire In York Conuly. On Tuesday last, at about 13 o'clock, whilst the workmen were at dinner, a fire was discovered in Bash Factory of Mr. W. W. Bott, at Seven Valley, York county. The entire property was destroyed, with a number of other buildings. Entire loss, $45,000. Loss partially covered by insur ance. - EST" The king of wheat speculators in Chicago, John Watson has boon snuffed out. He had been speculating heavily in wheat, and his operations had much to do with the advance in the price of that ce real during the past four or five weeks. He was foremost among the bears of the mar ket. When he failed he had outstanding contracts for 1,000,000 bushels of wheat, and was adding to the amount when the price suddenly fell and the crash came. The losers are principally wheat dealers, and the losses are losses of expected gains, and hence the failure has had but little effect on the general trade. Mr. Watson's operations were on his own account, and the money lost was his own fortune. BT A miracle occurred at Fergus Falls, Minn., the other day. Mr. Squires, of that burg, had a revolver, which, supposed to be unloaded, was loft in reach of his chil dren. His eldest boy, not more than five or six years old, took it to bed with him and had a nice time playing with it. Of course the pistol was loaded and went off. The miracle was that o ono was hurt. The bullet passed just over the face of another little fellow in the same bed. - ' - tfMr. Nathan Hosier, of , Daviess co., Ind., had been lucky or prudent enough to accumulate $70Q. 1 Nathan doubted the solvency of banks and the strength of vaults, so ho put bis surplus revenue into a parlor stove for safe keeping. The next day the weather was oold enough for fire. Lot $700. Another Female Poisoner. ' ' " ' Another Female Poisoner has ' been brought to justice. Recently, at Ger mantown, Ohio, publlo ' attention was at tracted to the simultaneous poisoning, by arsenio, of three members of a family named Hanna while visiting the house of a kinswoman, one Sarah Earhardt. ' For tunately the amount administered to each of the intended victims proved insufficient to cause death. Upon investigation evi dence was produced, if correct, proving the woman Earhardt, to be as great a mon ster as either Lydia Sherman, Jane Ann Cotton or Mrs. Grinder. She is now .in custody on a charge of having attempted to take the lives of, the three Uannas, and it is said to bo tho intention of the State prosecuting counsel to introduce testimony at tho trial to show that she has poisoned her husband, her son's wife, her son-in-law's child, and her husband's first wife, all within a few years. Minor crimes, such as the poisoning of favorite animals and the burning of numerous houses, are also said to be among the number of her achievements. By the death of the Uan nas she would have come into possession of a considerable amount of property. The most extraordinary circumstance in con nection with this case is that the woman is upward of seventy years of age. Mexican Cruelty. A fearful story is told of the Indian chief and robber of Topic Lozada which has but recently been brought before tho pub lic and which for cruelty cannot find a parallol. In the small village of San Luis, near Tepie, there has been discovered a subter raneous apartment, constructed especially for the prosecution of horrible crimes, and in this was found, not lone since, a man who for fourteen years bad not seen the light of day. Unshaven and unwashed, and doubled by feebleness, and withal boreft of sense when discovered, be is said to have had more the appearance of a wild animal than humanity. From motives of revenge Lozada had him incarcerated in the sepulchre, and formerly would seom to have taken espe cial pleasure in witnessing the tortures of this unhappy man, visiting him daily for that purpose, and taunting and mocking him in his helpless misery. The wretched man was placed on his release in charge of a physician, who is obliged to use the ut most prudence in bringing bim forth, from his llvinff tomb to eniov once more the lib Lrty of life. Hndi 0ven with the greatest care, it is thought his emeeuled system will not sustain the shock such a change may bring to it. The Doctors Disagree. Memphis, June 4. For the past ten days a disease prevailed here, which at first the physicians pronounced cholera morbus or malarial fever, but no alarm was felt until yesterday when the pbysi- cians gonorally agree that it was cholera, some classing it as sporadic and others as Asiatic. Thus far its ravages have been chiefly confined to negroes and laboring classes, and in the absence of an organized number of fatal cases,- tho doctors say the disease, if promptly attended to, yields readily to treatment. The reports from the towns below here on the river say that the disease prevails there also. A Massachusetts mail-carrier reports to the Northampton Gazette that he " ran a sleigh over Windsor Hill five days in No vember, and did not run a wagon again until the 33th day of April, 1873, making one hundred and fifty-four days of sleigh ing, or one hundred and fifty-four days between the times of running a wagon. The mail was carried on foot from East Wind sor to Hinsdale from April 8 to April 35, twenty-two days. Ho did not keep the road all tho way until May 10, in conse quence of snowdrifts, and at date, May 24, drives over a drift four feet deep. He thinks there is plenty of snow iu places to make sleighing until July, for some of the ploughing land is two and three feet under the snow, and the farmers talk of remov ing it to put in their crops." . , . t2F"Tbe congregation of the African Methodist ' Episcopal Church, of Dean street and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, held their May festival in the church About midnight' while the congregation waa!nging a psalm, one of the sisters felt herself aggravated at some remark of one of the brethren. A male friend of the woman sought out the aggressor, and from words they came to blows, and in a short time a general fight ensued. Chairs and tables were overturned, and soon the floor was covered with a rolling and struggling mass of men and womon intermigled with capsized ice-cream, cakes and jellies of all kinds. The poliou were called, but before they succeeded in separating the combat ants two of tho force were knocked down. Nearly all the brethren and sisters were then marched to the station house. IW The presiding officers of both Houses of the lately adjourned New York Legis lature refuse to sign the annual "Supply bill," becuuse they believe , that "jobs" were inserted it) it after it left the confer ence committee The bill will therefore be printed and submitted to the members of that committee for examination.
