For a good bowl of soup, stop at Rose's, one door east of Lowry House. About a year ago two children of a roan named ljeineuian, who lives in Alle gheny city, were taken from him for alleged cruelty, and placed in charge of a guardian who placed them in the Orphan's Home here. On Wednesday last, Mr. 11. appeared at the Hoiue with and order from the guardian for the two boys. Mr. Prugh, the Superintendent of the Home, was away at the time and his wife hesitated about giving up the children, not knowing whether the order was genuine, when Ileineman displayed a pistol and threat ened to kill somebody, if he did not get them. His childen were then given to him, and when Mr. Prugh came home, he went to the city, and finding that the order was genuine let the mat ter drop. Heinenian's children were taken from him, l>ecause he praotioed the Baun schiedt syMeni of hypodermic injections upon a sick infant which died. He is said to have made about 3(H) punctures with a sharp instru ment, upon its back and abdomen to cure it. The case attracted much attention at the time.

This young man is a scientist and writes up a big fish itory. His theory is that at the time of the deluge the whales of the world gathered in great schools and on the subsidence of the waters were lock ed in pools in the mountain gorges. He inti mates that one hundred billions of whales hail time to develop to maturity before the great oyclone struck the earth. These whales sub sisted for a time, but aoon succumbed to the sun's heat and relapsed into a liquid state be coming so many barrels of oil. A large num ber of these antediluvian whales stranded in Pennsylvania and are Uoating about in u liquid stale beneath the crust which now forms the Status's surface. J'he result of all this htyi been that every now and then some li)cky indi vidual punctures the crust, strikes a whale and is rewarded by a "gusher." This is a valuable contribution to the oil literature of the State, ' but what the scientist wants is money. His ' desire is to pierce the crust and take a plaster 1 cast of one of the cavities which contain oil and • he guarentees the cast will have the form of a ' whale.

(KitX36zn : Hail**, P««* 15» 1882# . j \oteß on Current Eveins. | Nebraska has buried the female suf frage amendment under 20,000 or 30, 000 majority, the measure seeming to share the general revulsion of feeling t in the West against prohibition, for ; while every Prohibitionist is not in : favor of female suffrage, every support er of the last is a Prohibitionist. Or , egou votes next on this change and is | well-nigh certain to rote the proposed amendment down. Since this exten sion of the suffrage came to be talked about in the chilly light of day, it has not the ghost of a show There are in the United States 80 establishments engaged in the manu facture of petroleum, having a capital of $27,395,740, and employing about 10,000 persons at a total yearly wages list of $4,381,572. In the census year the number of gallons of crude oii used was 731, 533,127, valued ut $1G,340,- 581; the total value of raw material, including fuel, chemicals, barrels, etc., was $34, 990,101: the total value ofthe manufactured products was $43,705,- 218. Of illuminating oil the make was 11,002,249 barrels, worth $26,839,613. It is the oil, and not the facts, that is to be made light of. It is known that Postmaster-Gener al Howe favors postal telegraphy and postal savings-banks. He is quoted as saying that the Post-Olßce Depart ment has "at present a monopoly of ail the slow methods of transmitting letters, while corporations enjoy the exclusive privilege of sending by the rapid system messages and business communications. In my opinion the Post-Office Department ought to be equipped with every facility for postal telegraphy. The Government tan do it cheaper than companies, and certain ly with the same promptness." He will urge the matter on Congress in ( his report. He suggests, in regard to a reduction of postage, that instead of | a two-cent letter rate the government try the experiment of selling stamped s envelops in place of stamps, for the j present rates. This is a new idea, but ( we doubt if it would meet the public 1 demand for cheap postage. i The lowa Prohibitory amend ment has been pronounced null by a district court in the State because as finally passed by the House the words "or to be used" were omitted in the phrase "keep for sale as a beverage or to be used " The provisions in regard to the journals of the two chambers, the passage of bills and tbe passage of constitutional amendments for sub mission to the people, are the familiar clauses on the subject repeated in near ly all of our State constitutions. The Courts in Illinois, tbe Circuit there and the Supreme Court at Washington have all held, as have Eastern Courts, that the journals of the Legislature can be used to show that a bill was passed or was not passed as to make it law, although the Courts have, in New York State, declined to hear proof that the journals were inaccu rate. The real point that; goes up for final decision in lowa is whether a verbal change in passage vitiate s tbe amendment. Slight changes, it has been held, do not. In addition, the yeas and nays on the amendment were never entered on the journal of the Legislature. This is to the fuil as serious as tbe other, and may alone be enough to upset the amendment. The change of values in the city of New York is suggested by the recent sale of tho old l'ostoffiee site in Nassau steet to an insurance company for sfiso,ooo. Tbe Dutch Reformed Con sistory bought the site in 1731, or a century and a half before, for less than $3,000. The bell presented to the church the same year now hanjrs in the tower of the Collegiate church at Fifth Avenue and Forty Eighth street. The old church building that is now being pulled down has had an unusual history, serving during tbe Revolu tion as a British riding sboool, and for many years as a postoffice for the me tropolis. It will now give place to another of those great ten-story struc tures that stretch skyward and make lower New York picturesque to the in comer on the bay. The account given in a report re. cently received in Washington from Lieut Ray, commanding the signal service station at Point Barrow, Alas ka, of tho loss of the steamer North Star on the Bth of Julv last, illustrates the terrible power of the ice pack in tho Arctic sens, and the suddenness with which it sometimes closes upon a ship with irresistable force. The North Star had approached the s-tatlon within about three miles, and then tbe ice closed upon her, and she could get no further. She lay there a whole day apparently in no special danger, al though she could not move. Sudden ly, says Lieut. Ray, "we heard a great shout raised by the crew, and we could also hear her timbers breaking. In twenty minutes she was out siijht." Lieut, llay at once went off to the as sistance of the sunken vessel's crew, 47 in number, who had got out up on the ice, and where all saved. But for the fact that tbe accident happened so close to shore, and within sight and hearing of the signal service station, the loss of the North Star might have furnished another terrible story Arctic disaster.
