It is intended as a shield to break the assault of the Democrats upon Republicans for having consorted with Senator Mahone, of Virginia, on certain points of organization and on certain appointments. The Vo;-A American writes: The public authorities in Hancock county, Virginia, have a peculiar way of rid ding themselves of the paupers for whose maintenance they are respon sible. They have an auction after the fashion of ante-bellum days, which is held at stated intervals, and at which the sidd paupers are knocked down, not to the highest but to the lowest bidder, to be held in servitude by the successful man for the period of one year. The object of the bid ding is to determine what price shall be paid by the State for the paupers disposed of. Of course a man who is able-bodied will be taken at a low fiirure. while it will be necessary to pay a good round sum to get a feeble old woman out of the war. The sys tem described has its conveniences, but it is not one which American cit izens will generally approve. A bich man in New York was noti fied by letter that an arrangement had been perfected to steal one of his children, but if he pay the sum of siitv thousand dollars the child shall remain unmolested. He called a de tective into service. The detective instructed him to agr to the black mailer's demand, and ask where the money should be mid. It was ar ranged that the money should be put into an envelope, and carried by woman to Central Park, and there, upon the report of a pistol being heard, she should drop the envelope and leave the Park without once look ing back. Arrangements were per fected accordingly. The hour was fixed fur the maid to leave the house. She left the house at the appointed time with an envelope stuffed with waste p.ier. At the same time the detective left the house by a back w ay and hastened around so as to get the woman in sight He soon dis covered that she was closely followed by a man, and soon another fellow on the opposite side of the street signal ed the one in close pursuit The Park was reached ; the report of a pistol was heard: the maid dropped the envelope ; the fellow in close pur suit picked it np, and the detective stepped up and arrested him. The blackmailer resisted the arrest ; the ofiii-er leveled his pistoL fired, and the blackmailer dropped dead, shot t hrough the head. 1 1 e was a foreign er. Papers in the pockets of his ciotliing reveal the whereabouts of other such people, and arrests have been iuada "Artesian wells number 1000 in Cal if rnia Of these, 300 are in Santa Clara Valley, fifty miles from San Francisco. Most of them overflow the surface, and the tubes average seven inches in diameter. The local resources of artesian water are now mapped out Under the valley runs a broad river, coming from the great lakes of the Sierras. 200 miles off. The pressure from G'KJO feet eleva tion suffices to throw the water above the surface. The depth of the bore runs from 150 to 250 feet Outside the boundaries of this subterranean river (several miles wide) no depth of boring has struck artesian water. There is reason to believe that every valley in the State has an under ground river leading direct from the same lakes, and lying below the su perficial currents that have no con-j section witn toe elevated reservoirs. Horrors of Earthquake. Intelligence from Constantinople indicate that of the 70,000 people on the Island of Scio, some 7,0iJ per ished in the earthquake last week. A correspondent writes : "Fear, grief and despair are de picted on nearly every face. All have some sad or tragic tale to telL The first shock was felt on Sunday after noon, at about half-past one o'clock. Immediately houses began to fall. Wild shrieks were heard on every side. Then followed an awful silence of some minutes. The terrified sur vivors sradnallv ventured into the narrow lanes and reached the open spaces. Shortly afterward another terrible shock completed the devasta tion. Then it remained quiet uutu sunset, when it again began to shake the island throughout as severely as before. All night the shocks suc ceeded each other at short intervals, and each one was preceded by dull sounds like subterranean explosions. Since that frequent shocks have been felt A few minutes ago, while writ ing the present dispatch, I distinctly heard an explosion-Xue sound ana felt the earth tremble, but as I am under canvas I have nothing to fear. "The old Genoese fortress, con taining about 400 houses, inhabited by Mussulmans and Jews, suffered more than the rest of the town. The ground there sank about half a metre, and nearly all the houses were imme diately destroyed, and several hun dred persons must have perished. It is known that about thirty Mussul man women were assembled in one of the houses, not one of whom escaped. The southern part of the island is said to have suffered more than this town. Her Majesty '8 gun vessel Bittern ar rived here this morning. I he cap tain at once came ashore, and. after consulting with the Governor of the island, organized relief parties for attending the wounded and extrica ting the dead from the ruins. He then went over to Chesme and made careful inquiries regarding the state of the town and inhabitants. To morrow he intends visiting the south ern part of the island, where less has been done for the relief of the sufferers. "I visited Chesme this afternoon. Only about ten inhabitants were killed, but many houses are in ruins, and very many more are dilapidated. The Mayor assured me that three- fourths of the houses are in a dan gerous condition. The inhabitants are afraid to live even in those which are uninjured, for every night since Sunday night frequent shocks have been felt Nearly all prefer to camp out As the weather is hne the hard ship in this respect is not great It is said that throughout the district not less than 30,000 people are with out shelter.

Scsburt, Pa., April 7. Sunbury was thrown into a state of excitement last night over the deliberate murder by a young boy of his sister. Miss Lottie Hoover was an attractive girl of seventeen. Her brother, George, is but fourteen. Their mother, Mrs. Hoover, is a widow. The family were seated at dinner yesterday when an altercation arose in which George be came greatly enraged at his sister. It appears that the boy was late and his sister reproved him Tor it He took his seat at the table, and the diflicG! ty continuing he got up, and remark ing, "111 fix you," passed into a back apartment His mother, who was at the table, fearing the boy meant harm, got up and locked the door. The boy secured a shotgun and going out the back way a little later came around to the front door, which he opened, and without a word of warning de liberately shot his sister. The house where the murder was committed about three miles from Sunbury, on the road leading to Snvdertown and Shamokin. The tragedy was enacted in the out kitchen. It is a small two story building, facing the road and standing to the left and back of the main house. Lottie, who had finish ed her dinner, stood in the right- hand corner, putting the dishes in side cupboard. George entered and, without saying a word, fired. Mrs. Hoover was seated near the door, while another daughter, Alice, was at the other side of the room, at the sink, washing dishes. The shot took effect in the neck, tearing and lacer ating it The dying girl never spoke. She was raised up by her sisters, but died in a few minutes. The verdict of the jury was that Lottie Hoover came to her death by a shot deliber ately fired from a gun by her brother, George Hoover. The scene at the house was heart-rending in the ex treme. Mrs. Hoover and Lottie's sisters were almost wild with grief. George was brought to town last evening by officers of the law and lodged in jaiL Scxburi, Pa, April 8. After the inquest on the body of Lottie Hoov er, who wes killed by her brother George on Wednesday, Justice Brice informed the afflicted family that it would be necessary to take Xleorge to Sunbury for a few days.

He was .nerved, although he cried slightly. During the night a realization of the terrible deed he had committed seem ed to dawn 'on his mind and he cried bitterly. Miss Lottie Hoover was a pretty, well-educated girl, and was a general favorite. She had a host of friends in this place. She was loved by all who knew her, and the feeling in this community against her brother is very bitter. Reuben Hoover, the eldest son of this distracted family, has become almost hopelessly insane over the terrible affliction visited upon the household. Physicians were sent for early yesterday morning, and it is feared that his reason has oeen to tally destroyed. Rzadixo, April 8. Christian Risser, a Mennonite preacher, residing near Brunersville, a small village in this county, had occasion to be away from home for a few davs this week, and during his absence his two sons, named Amos and Henry, were cut ting potatoes for planting. Vhile thus engaged a quarrel arose between them, which ended fatally. It ap pears that Amos was doing a certain amount of work which Henry dicta ted, whereupon a scuffle followed, during which Henry pulled out large dirk-knife and in the excitement stabbed his brother in the abdomen. Amos fell, bleeding to the ground. Some neighbors, who happened to pass by at the time, came to his res cue and earned him to his home. Medical aid was at once quickly sum moned, but when the physician ar rived Amos was so weak from the loss of blood that the doctors have no hope for his recovery. Word was im mediately sent to their father inform ing him ol the occurrence. xne wound in the boy s body is about two inches long, one men deep, penetra- tinr into the intestines. Amos Ris ser is about twenty-one years of aga Henry is aged fourteen years. It is stated that the brothers have fre quently quarreled together. . Council Bluffs, la., April 9.
