A Council of State In England is about to discuss a project for taxiug Cotton Imports from America. The reception of Lord Lome and the Princess Louise, at Mou treat, was as cnthuHiastic as that at Halifax. One of the Pomernnia's boats has been recovered with a bag containing $25,000. The owner of the money is saved. The President has signed the com missions of Mrs. Anne D. IL Thomp son as Postmistress at Memphis. She is the widow of the late postmaster, who died of yellow fever. The pipe line from Bradford to Kane, 1 distance Of nearly forty miles, is now completed, and cars were loaded at Kane last week. Knne promises to be a very important shipping point.

The" Hulings well No. 2, near Kane, Is now producing forty-two barrels of oil per day. Four or Ave more wells are going down, and this new territory will no doubt assume g?eat importance. A calf signed by a number of prominent citizens of Virginia is pub lished, stating that they have organ . izea themselves into a society to pre serve the credit of the State, and in viting the co-operation of every citizen. The latest arrests of Socialists at Rome have led to the sei7.ure of docu ments that have given much informa tion relative to the organization of the Internationalists of Italy and their connection with similar bodies In for eign countries. The lumber market at Pittsburgh is not' very encouiaglng, the prices varying from five to six dollars a thousand. Thomas Irwin sold 40,000 feet at $5.50. O. T.

The Tennessee peanut crop for the year ending September 30, was 305,000 bushels, against 500,000 for the year previous; in Virginia the crop was 40o,000,rgainst 780,000 last year, and in North Carolina it was only 85,000, against 125,000 in 1877. The growing crop, 1. e., for 1878-79, is estimated at 400,000 for Tennessee, 800,000 for Vir ginia, and 00,000 for North Carolina. The North Carolina crop promises to be about the same as to quality as last year. There is a wide difference in the amounts paid lecturers. The St. Louis lyceum has gone. out of busines re formed, we suppose, and its records shoWjthe exact payment to each of the many people who appeared on its plat form. The scale of prices run from Henry .Ward 'Beecher at $800 for a single night down'to Robert Burdette t $75- Carl Schurz received $200, $!00 less than he charged for compaign speeches. Elizabeth duly Stanton had to be content with $75. Henry Wat teteon had $150, Wendell Phillips, $425. The business is losing its grip.

At the close one of the largest speculators failed, and others are sort'y crippled. The sales were 520,000 barrels. The impression prevails that the bull movement has not yet been completed.

From the Mount Plonpnnt (Iown) Jnurnnl,- November 14th is always an inter esting day to our esteemed townsjiian, Judge J. L. Gillis, bringing vividly to his mind some experience of his army life, which are especially Interesting. Meeting him last Thursday, he gave us ail outline Of his experience, which we jotted for the Journal. At the breaking out of the war of 1812 Mr. Oillis, then quite a young man, joined a company of New York cavalry, and was attached to Colonel Harris' regiment of regular dragoons. Soon after the battle of Lundy's Lane, he was out with a foraging party, and when three miles from Fort Eric, wi(s captured by some of His Majesty's red coats. This was on the 7th of August, 1814. He was paroled at a place called Reimport, below Quebec, between the mouths of the rivers St. Charles and Montmorency, his parole limiting him to a space extending three miles from the river. November 14, 1814, (sixty four years ago last Thursday) he was with twenty-five other prisoners, taken from his parole and put on board the transport ship "Stately," about to sail for England, under convoy of a man-of-war. Not relishing a voyage across the Atlantic, undcrsuch circumstances, Lieutenant (.Jillis, M'ith five others, concluded to make an effort to regain their liberty. And while their fellow prisoners indulged in loud songs and revelry, himself, Captain Hunt, Lieu tenant Clark, a Lieutenant Fontaine, of Richmond, Va., and a captain from New York State, escaped from the ship, climbing down the vessel's side on a "raddle," or rope ladder, into the long boat, taking With them for ra tions, one bottle of rum and one loaf of bread. Lieutenant Gillis had first passed out at a cabin window, cut the rope holding the long boat, returned into the cabin holding on to the rope, draw ing the boat close under the ship's stern, when, after the party got down into the boat they drifted on to the chain of a frigate and were hailed by its watchman, but the night being dark they escaped,, his detection, and drifted away, landing two miles below Point Levi, Onjfhe opposite "side of the St. Lawrence. Leaving the boat, they climbed the precipitous banks, sat down, ate their loaf, drank their rum and started for home, going towards the river Sandeia, which empties iuto the St. Lawrence abovo Quebec. Striking the river at daylight, eleven miles from Quebec, they took to the woods, going up that river, as they thought. Traveling all that day in the woods they kept the woods throughout the following night the second out and on the morning of the (second day ar rived at a Frenchman's cabin, he tell ing them that they were not on the Sandeia river, but a branch of it. He gave them a breakfast of oatmeal cakes and cooked onions, which, in their condition, were very palatable. Their host gave them three bitter oatmeal cakes, and put them on a short line to the Sandeia river. After wandering for three days through spruce and brush, on the third day' they reached a beech tree ridge and feasted on the nuts of that tree, Lieutenant Fontaine eating shell and all, which gave him the colic. Soon afterwards striking a road, they came to the cabin of another French settler, and no one being at home, they consulted as to whether they should go in, help themselves to food and leave money to pay for it, or go on. Concluding to leave the cabin unmolested, they pursued their weary march, and soon after met the owner of the cabin, who, with his family, were returning from St. Mary's. The Frenchman informed them that bills were up at St. Mary's, offering lu0 reward and the King's bounty a guinea for the capture of each one of the refugees. They returned to the Frenchman's cabin, who gave them food and agreed to pilot them through St. Mary's as far as St. Francis, stating that he had brother at the former place, who would assist. After nightfall, with their friendly(?) guide, they set out for St. Mary's, ar riving there at a late hour, and rousing their guide's brother, were taken in. Bedding was put up at the windows to conceal their presence, and they were told that they could not cross the river until the lights were put out in the buildings situated on the opposite side of the stream. The brothers then, on pretext of going for a boat, went to the guardhouse and reported the pres ence of the Americans the guard was ordered out, the house surrounded, and about thirty militia, armed with pitch forks, clubs, shotguns, etc., marched In, the captain carrying a long sword, shouting, at the top ot his voice, to the boys, "Surrender!" more fright ened than were the unarmed Ameri cans, who, tired and footsore, had been endeavoring to get some rest. Captain Huut, who was something of a wag, seeing the militia captain with his long sword, raised himself up from the floor where he had been sleeping, and asked the stalwart captain : "What in h are you going to do with that toad spear?" The boys realizing that they had been betrayed, and un armed, made a virtue of necessity, and of course surrendered without cere mony. They were well treated by their captors, taken to comfortable quarters and provided with a good breakfast. After daylight the uews of the capture having been circulated in the village, the prisoners became he roes, were visited by all the French girls, who took quite a fancy to the Americans, blacked their boots and brushed their clothes for them. Each of the prisoners having been put in chame of a guard, and Lieutenant Oillis, while taking a walk, cut a stick and on bis return to their quarter, meeting one whom he supposed to be the fellow who had betrayed them, fell upon and gave him a drubbing, the unfortunate Frenchman crying "murder," when Hunt and Clark coming up, told him he had beaten the wrong man. Each prisoner was placed in a calash and with a driver, also with a guard, were started back to Point Levi. The one having Lieu. Oillis in charge was the same Frenchman ho had beaten, and on the way, at every slopping place, he amused the populace by tell ing how he had been mistaken and whipped for the betrayer, saying that If ho looked like the treacherous pilot ho deserved whipping. The party was two days and a half making the return trip to Quebec, and arriving there were put in jail for safekeeping, the fall fleet having sailed for England. After three days they were taken be fore a magistrate and arraigned on the charge of having stolen His Majesty's long boat, and the penalty for stealing was death. Our prisoners employed a yankee lawyer named Cuthber't, formerly of Boston,, to defend them, and he shrewdly took the position that the British having taken them from their parole, they were at the time of the alleged stealing, lawful enemies of His Majesty, the King, and added that If the prisoners had de stroyed the entire fleet, they would have been justified by the laws of war. Tills plea saved them and they were acquitted, when they were put on board a brig and sent as regular prisoners of war to the prison on Melville Island, where were gathered about 1100 other prisoners. There they were confined In a building composed of stalls, in each of which were swung 27 hammocks. While in that building they again at tempted to Escape, but were foiled by the cowardice of one of the night guards, whom they had bribed, and who at the last moment, betrayed them. For this attempt one of their number, a sailor, was put into a dun geon for ten days, and given only bread and water but his comrades managed to supply him plentifully with rum and rations so that he fared very well. Here they were kept about four weeks and then again paroled at Dartmouth, opposite Halifax, where they remained until April, when peace having been concluded, they were sent to Salem, Mass. At Salem they were royally entertained by one Crowninshield, a resident, who was with them at Melville, and who was, the Judge thinks, the brother of the Secretary of the Navy under Jefferson or Madison. Thus ended our townsman's military experience, which forms an interesting chapter in his life In 1S18 Mr. Gillis made a journey to Michigan territory, on horseback, being in Detroit when there was only one brick house and but few of any other sort in the place. There he met the celebrated Lord Selkirk, of Scot land, who having located a colony at Manitoba, was then on his way to Montreal, to attend a suit brought against him for trespass by the Hud son's Bay Company, having come to Detroit in a conveyance drawn by dogs. Ms Gillis accompanied Selkirk as far as Aneaster, at the head of Lake Ontario. The Judge describes him as a thin visaged. tough, sharp Scotch man. Not until four years ago, during a cruise with his son on Lake Superi or, did he learn what particular tres pass Selkirk bar? committed, when he fell in with a Mr. McLaren, in the employ of the Hudson's Bay Company who gave him the particulars The Company had agreed to furnish Sel kirk and his colonists transportation from Ft. Chippewa, but on their ar rival there refused to' comply with their agreement. This was a great disappointment to Selkirk, and he determined to obtain by strategy what was denied him. Accordingly he invited the officers and other occu pants of the Fort to dine with him, ami succeeding in making the entire party drunk, while they were under the Influence of his rum, Lord Selkirk helped himself to boats and whatever was necessary, aud put out for his des tination. Hence the suit. In 1822 Mr, Giilis left New York State aud moved Into Jefferson county, Pennsylvania, then a sparsely settled region, his nearest neighbors being re spectively lOand 'J4 miles distant. He there was appointed Associate Judge of the county, by Gov. Porter, serving two terms. He also represented that county in the legislature, was first elected In 1810, and served three yeais in the House and three in the Senate, of that State. In 1850 he was chosen to represent his district in Congress, serving one term. He made his first vist to Iowa in 1851, coming out in a buirirv. and when'he returned home found that his Democratic friends were again running him for legislature. He again came to Iowa in 1802, locating in this city, where he has ever since re sided, universally esteemed by all for his many noble qualities ot head and heart, and although in his 87th year, is in excelleut health, takes an intel ligent interest in afiairs generally, and seems so young and active, it is ditfi cult to realize that ho had seen so many years. lie nail a wiue spreau acquaintance with the leading politi cians and statesmen oi iuu .u,iui. was an intimate acquaintance anu a friend of James Buchanan, aim was member of the convention mat nomin ated hirii for the presidency. Of the Judge's nine living children, (a tenth i fiHreuHcd.) two sons reside in this citv, one daughter resides in the state of New York, one in rennsyivauia, Di'trnit. and one ill Baildstown, III.; oueson resides In Pennsylvania, aiouriialist. in Richmond, Va-, while his son, dipt. Jas. Oillis, i. i.ub i,Mn in the Kuvv for thirty years, is now commander of the t. .w,i utotu kliin "Franklin." Ill concluding this sketch of one so full of .o..,, i-Anui-t mid honor, we do but express the unanimous wish of all who know nun, uii tu"i",u '- happiness may attenu uo throughout his remaining lite Judge Hoi Writ Against Sharing. The Cleveland physician who main tains that shaving is a crime against health and good looks, has been ran sacking his Bible for texts. He finds In Leviticus the Injunction i "Neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." He infers that the children of Israel, while in bondage to the Egyptians, imitated many of their heathenish customs, and the shaving of the beard was. one of them. Hence the great Lawgiver condemned It most emphatically, , and a careful study of history shows that the Hebrews gener ally discarded the use of the razor, ahd the primitive Christians generally, Imitating their example, wore their beards long." Tertulliau, an eminent Christian writer and father in the church, says : " The practice of shav ing the beard is a He against our face, and an impious attempt to improve the works of the Creator." The doctor wishes to know if David's men, who were shaved, only half shaved, by the order of Vanun, looked any better? Not then, In their own eyes, nor in the eyes of King David, nor in the eyes of all the Jews and Gentiles of their time, for one reads that "the men were greatly ashamed, and the King said larry at Jericho until your beards be grown and then return." The doc tor's argument is based upon natural history as well as scripture. The lion has a flowing beard which distinguish es him from his weaker companion ; and likewise in man the beard marks most distinctively the chief peculiarity of the countenances of the two sexes. When a man shaves ofF his beard his face approximates that of a woman more uearly than nature designed. Accordingly he argues that if nfen wish to preserve their ascendancy as the lords of creation they must put away their razors. How a Man Becomes u Hog. At Vergennes, Vt, Win. Laduke wagered that he would eat in ten hours two pounds of pork steak, four large potatoes, one-half of a pie, two slices of wheat bread, each one and one-quarter Inches thick, one quarter pound of butter, half a bushel of apples, and to drink two cups of tea. At 7 o'clock in the morning the gourman began his task by eating five apples. He then ate one pound of pork steak, two large potatoes, one slice of bread, one quarter of a pie, one-eight pound of butter, and drank one cup of tea. The remainder of the forenoon he spent in walking about and eating apples, of which he had devoured twenty-three at 12 o'clock. At noon he ate one pound of pork steak, two large potato es, one quarter of a pie, one slice of bread, one-eight pound of butter, and drank two cups of tea. He was then weighed, and found to have gained seven and one half pounds. For the next three hours he averaged about two apples per hour. At 5$ P. M. he ate the last apple and won the bet with half an hour to spuir. His weight when he began was 145 pounds, and at the close 153 pounds, showing a gain of eight pounds in nine and one-half hours, fcseveu and one-half pounds of this he acquired in the first five hours, the last five hours adding only one- half pound to his weight. The half bushel of apples was "heaping" meas ure, and numbered just sixty-five ap ples. Laduke is 20 years old, five feet seven inches in height, and has never experienced a sick day in iiis life. He is a thin, spare man, and has worked out for his living, usually among farmers. .He experienced no iiuuiual difficulty from his square meal, and offered to bet ?5 that he could" eat another peck of apples the same eve ning. Leprosy in New York. Just now there are three cases of genuine leprosy at the Charity hospital, Blackwell's Island, New York, the one of the most interest being that of Abraham Brown, forty-five years of age, a native of New York. The vic tim was stricken only last April, and admitted to the hospital in June. The progress of the malady has been viru lent and rapid, commencing, as usual, with thickening of the skin in spots, with loss of local sensibility. Accom- paning this came a strange debility I and lassitude, with occasional exalta tion of spirits. The disease has now attacked the solid tissue of the boner, and the man's hands and feet present a sight that one would never care to see twice. Some of the fingers and toes have already dropped off, while the rest, ulcerous and loathsome, hang loosely by their rotting and disfigured joints. The brain remains unaffected, and the victim converses with intelli gence. According to his own story, Mr. Brown, who is a gas engineer by profession, emigrated thirteen years ago to Santiago is Cuba, where he was employed In the gas works for three years lie returned to ew, l oik ten years ago without a vestige of the dis ease that ha3 since reduced him to a living skeleton. Brown attributes his misfortune to exposure to the heat of the sun aud the breathing of air loaded with foul vapors while pursuing his profession in the West Indies. Mr. Case, a hotel keeper at Sara toga, was horrified to find the head of a woman on the piazza of his hotel. A dog was eating flesh from it. Fol lowing the trail of the dog to a spot in a grove about 200 feet from the hotel. the amis, legs and other portions of a woman's body were found, all of them being in a decayed condition. A small pistol was found near by. The head had a bullet hole in it. The remains are recognized as'those of a seventeen year old girl, Alice llefyea, whose parents lived in Saratoga. Several weeks ago she was employed as a ser vant In Case's hotel, but disappeared suddenly. No trace has since been had of her until her horribly mutilated remains were found. It is supposed that the girl committed suicide." A Complete Newspaper.
