THE TARIFF BILLS. Republicans rising; All Possible Efforts to Expedite Legislation. 6peeial to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Feb. 2. —lt was rumored about the Capitol to-day that an under standing existed between the Republican leaders of the two houses to the effect that if the Senate can succeed in completing its tariff’ bill and securing its passage before ad journment to-morrow night, the Republi cans will muster their full strength on Mon cay and endeavor to pass the Senate bill through the House under suspension of the rules. It is hardly possible, however, that this can be done, or even that the Senate will be allowed by the Democrats to pass its bill within the next week, as there is no previous question known to the rules of the Senate. There is in that body, unfortunately, no parliamentary method of limiting debate, save by unanimous consent, and when gentlemen like Mr. Beck will per sist in talking so much upon matters about which they seem to know so little, there i9 small ground to hope forexpeditious action. Even the most sanguine members of the House admit to-night that it is utterly out of the question to expect to pass the ways and means committee’s bill; but so long as the people of the country seem to believe that because the Republicans have a majority, no matter how small, they can secure the enactment of any proposed legis lation, and that they are responsible for its failure, it is right and proper that they should exhaust every parliametary method in the attempt to pass this bill. With this view an attempt will be made on Monday to pass, under suspension of the rules, the legislative appropriation bill. If this can be done, it will give to the consideration of the tariff*bill an extra week, which other wise would probably be taken up in debating the app opriation bill. SENATORIAL TIMBER. The Millionaires -The Defeat of Mr. Windom in Minnesota. Special to the Indianapolis JouruaL Washington, Feb. 2:— Another millionaire Senator was sworn in in the person of Mr. Tabor, of Colorado. The fact that so many of this class are being elected to the Senate is beginning to attract notice. It would seem either that men of moderate means are no longer properly qualified for the higher positions in public life or that it is growing more difficult for men to succeed in public life strictly upon their merits. A prominent Democratic member of the Senate said this morning in, discussing Mr. Windom’s defeat: “We have lost one of the most useful men in the Senate. He has had over twenty years’ experi ence as a legislator in Congress, and although lam a Democrat, I must say 1 regard Mr. Windom, outside of political questions, one of the best legislators in Congress. He is a man given to investigation and labor, and when he makes a report on a matter it can be relied on.” The same gentleman remarked thatliedid not by any means believe Mr. Windom's defeat meant his retirement from public life; on the contrary, he was of opin ion that in the event of certain contingen cies which may be expected in the near future, Mr. Windom will be invited again to take a place in the cabinet. The contingency referred to, he stated, was the probable retirement of Attorney-general Brewster and the transfer of Secretary Folger to the Department of Justice. It is by no means certain, however, that the President will accept his cue from Democratic sugges tions as to the arrangement of-his cabinet. DISHONEST DETECTIVES. The Scandalous Story to Be Thoroughly Investigation. Ppecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 2.—The investigation of the scandalous relations alleged to have ex isted between the thieves and detectives is not to be concluded by the dismissal of the detectives. Mr. John W. Thompson, chair man of the citizens' committee, was before the grand jury to-day. His examination consumed nearly the whole of the session of that body. He gave a statement covering nearly all of the operations of the citizens’ committee, and was interrogated at some length by the jurors. The purpose of bis appearance there was to furnish such data as might enable the grand jury to push their investigations further, Mr. Thompson, of course, being unable to testify personally as to the various transactions of which the citi zens’committee has collected evidence. It is believed, however, that sufficient evidence will be presented to the grand jury to war rant them in finding several indictments against the late members of the detective force. GENERAL AND PERSONAL. Senator Harrison and the Appointment of Mr. Gurrigus. Special to the Indianapolis JouruaL Washington, Feb. 2. —The statement re cently published that Benator Harrison and Representative Steele secured the appoint ment of Mr. G:irrigU3 as internal revenue collector in place of Mr. Wildman is incor rect. so far as the former geutleman is con cerned Senator Harrison has not deviated a particle in this case from the rule which he has always observed, of not interfering in any way witn appointments in Repulican districts. New Killing as to Children'* Pension s WatfcinftoG Special. An interesting and entirely new pension claim is now before the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for decision The guardian of the children of the deceased soldier has applied for the back pension of $2 a month, due each child from the time of their father's death. The children’s mother neglected to make application for a pension for herself or family and finally married. The claim of the guardian was rejected at the Pension Of fice by the examiner, who held that the mar riage of the widow barred all rights of the family to a pension from that date. Pier neglect to apply for a pension at anytime was construed as a further difficulty in the way of allowing the claim of a guardian at this late day. The J-isiant Secretary is of the opinion that thr mother ot a family entitled to a pen sion, oo*'upie9 the relation in law of a trustee, ami any failure or neglect on her part to ap ply for or secure the allowance of pension due the- children can not work to their prejudit.*. He will accordingly decide that the children are entitled to a pension from the time of their father’s death until they ar rive at the age of sixteen years, the second marriage of their mother having nothing to do with the claim of the guardian. A. Little Question of Dignity. Washington, Feb. 2. —The Senate post office committee to-day decided to postpone till next session further consideration of the bill to r* uiate rates of postage on second class m.\it matter at mail-carrier offices. The bill proposed to fix the rates of postage on second-class publications deposited in letter carrier offices at two cents per pound. The postoffiGc committee is much dissatisfied with the iction of the appropriation com mittee in forestalling them by appending to the post-office appropriation bill matters of legislat es properly within the jurisdiction of the liostolfice committee, and to-day’s action is due to this feeling rather than to any opposition of the bill in question. A Con science-Sin it ten Defrauder of tiie Tariff. W ABHi>{uTON, Feb. 2.— Treasurer Gilfilian to-day received a conscience contribution of $lO in an* envelope, postmarked “Washing ton,” which also contained the following note: •’Estimated amount of customs due on article* brought home from Europe. If I could made he.id or tail of the tariff* I would lave paid the duty honestly at once, and not have suffered myself to be overruled by other imembers of the party and beguiled into payit- (the custom-house inspectors in stead of thv United States.” 1 mill J’rrM4iualitic4. Special to ta* Tndlanaoolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 2. —Senator Harrison has recommended the retention of Mr. Goodspecd as postmaster at Ligonier. Anew postoffice ha 9 been established at Altoga, Dubois county, and Francis M. Banders has been commissioned postmaster. Mr. Calkins to-day introduced in the House a bill providitkg for the payment of expenses incurred by contestants and con testees in contested election cases in the Forty-seventh Congress. The amount ag gregates $63,000. Benator Pendleton to-day introduced a bill, by request, which is particularly intended to compel the closing of National banks and the winding up of their affairs, in cases where the reserve is permitted to fall and remain below the amount required by law. Frank B. Conger, son of Senator Conger, has been appointed assistant postmaster of the District of Columbia. THE ASHLAND MURDERERS. Four Hundred State Troops Ordered Out for Protection of the Prisoners. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 2.—Under orders from Governor Blackburn, about 400 State troops, infantry and artillery x under com mand of Colonel John It. Allen, will attend the trial of Neal and Craft, at Grayson, Carter county, next Tuesday. These parties are charged with rape, murder and arson, committed at Ashland about a year since. On the first trial they were sentenced to death. The Court of Appeals reversed the lower court’s finding. On the oc casion of the second calling of the case a collision occurred between a mob at Ashland and the State troops on the steamer Granite State.in which several of the mob were killed and wounded, as well as spectators on shore. Judge Brown called on the Governor for troops to protect the prisoners, during the trial. The law leaves it discretionary with the Governor as to the number ordered. Advices from Grayson do not indicate an outbreak, though a fact that it is only twenty-live miles from the scene may lead a mob to make a trip and second attempt to hang the prisoners. The troops will rendez vous at Lexington on Monday, reporting to Col. Allen. Money for the German Flood Sufferers. New York, Feb. 2. —The amounts cabled by C. B. Richard A Cos., 61 Broadway, for sufferers by the Rhine inundations are as follows: From citizens of Rock Island, $3,000; East Saginaw, $1,938; Evansville, $5,000: Toledo, $12,000; from the Arbeitcr Zeitung, Chicago, $8,000; for Danube suf ferers, $8,000; total, $30;738. Horrible Suicide of a Religious Lunatic. N ewcomerrtown, 0., Feb. 2. —Fletcher Reed, a young man living near Putnam, Muskingum county, got up before daylight yesterday morning in a fit of religious ex citement. and going to a straw stack near by, set it on tire and jumped in the flames, after he had cut his throat with a razor. His re mains were a mass of charred bones when found. Prompt Arrest of a Thieving Clerk. Halifax, N. S., Feb. 2.—William Guy. a clerk of the Halifax Banking Company, was sent to the postofiice with a parcel contain ing $5,000. He abstracted tlie money and substituted waste paper. He was arrested; and confessed his guilt. THE NEWS OF TWO STATES. Extraordinary Proceed in*?* in tiie Gougar-Mandler Slander Suit. The Defense Ask that the Jury Be Dia aiined aril a New One Impaneled, Which 1* Refused. Successful Working of a Newly-De veloped Illinois Industry. A License Issued for Incorporation of the United States Express Company—The Bogardus-Carver Match. INDIANA. Extraordinary Proceeding* in the Gougar- Mandler Case. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, Feb. 2.—The time to-day in the Gougar-Mandler suit was taken up with le gal arguments. Judge Gould reached a de cision last night on the question of admit ting Mayor McGinley’s testimony concern ing the charge that a friend of Mr. Wallace called on him on the morning after Nov. 19 and requested the Mayor to quash any pro ceedings, if such came up against him, for actions on the night referred to. This evidence was objected to by the plaintiff, on the gound that Mr. Wallace’s interceding friend was an agent for Mrs. Gougar. The judge this morning ad mitted the testimony, but before any ques tions could be put to the Mayor, council for the defense made a motion to set aside the jury on the ground of the conduct of parties to the complaint, and the conduct of two of the jury. The defendant’s affidavit charged that, in Wallace’s squabble with a reporter, he had undertaken to influence the jury after adjournment of court by address ing them and proelaming certain statements which had a bearing on a witness of the de fense as a lie. It was further charged, and affidavits given to substantiate it, that two jurymen, James Shipley and John Obenchain, had made certain remarks prior to their being called, which the defendant claimed were opinions against him. Shipley bad said: “We will catch little fish first, and then go for the big.” Obenchain had said that he would rather give $25 to convict the de fendant than assist him in the defense.” The question was hotly argued by counsel. During the argument, when Colonel Wilson, for the plaintiff, was speaking, and when he referred to the attempt to take the case ont of*the courts just as all the smut had been poured in against the woman, Mrs. Gougar cried piteously. Her women friends did not try to restrain her tears. Colonel Wilson spoke on this question until late this evening, when Judge Gould ruled that the jury was good and case good. Adjournment was taken until Monday, when tiie exam nation of Mayor McGinley will be ta ken up. The Parties in the Case. Letter in Courier-Journal. Mrs. Gougar, the plaintiff, is a prominent feature in the court-room as she sits erect and usually defiant, her husband at her right hand and Captain Wallace, with whom she is charged with criminal intimacy, at her left. Bitting round about her, sewing, knit ting or reading, are some half dozen or more ladies of the Temperance League, all firm be lievers in the innocence of their besmirched co-worker, and ready at trying moments with words of comfort or cheer. Occasion ally, when the evidence is unusually severe, Mrs. Gougar will resort to tears, but soon recovers, and, with eyes firmly fastened on the witness, listens intently to the testimony. Frequently some point in the evidence will be noted down by her, and consultations with one or the other of her eminent counsel are numerous. She is a woman of commanding carriage, tall, supple and graceful, and her face, though showing the marks of time, is still very attractive. She is credited with being a woman of rare mental ability, a fluent talker, and a writer of no mean pretensions. Her paper, Our Herald, has frequently made its sting felt, and its aggressiveness has not been altogether irresponsible for the unpleasant situation in which she now finds herself. John I). Gougar, the husband of the plain tiff in this case, is a small, pleasant-looking gentleman with dark hair and whiskers, and a face that betokens a man in poor health. He is a lawyer, with a large and lucrative practice, and hats always borne a character which is above reproach. He is of a retiring disposition, yet always gentle manly and highly respected by everyone. It has always been said of him that lie was “the man without a known enemy.” Captain W. DeWitt Wallace seems to be the worst broken up party in the case. llis manner, usually easy and dignified, is quick and nervous, and he looks like a man mo mentarily expecting the crack of doom, yet dreading its coming. He has been a promi nent worker in temperance and religious fields for years, and has several times been nominated to high offices, although he has been invariably defeated. He was the Re publican nominee for State senator from this district at the recent State election. He is a married man and has an interesting family. It was Mrs. Gougar’s efforts to boom the cause of Wallace in the recent election that led to the making of the remark on which this suit was brought. She was very abusive of all anti-prohibitionists, and Chief Mandler was one of her victims. He is a German and an avowed anti-prohibitfonist. McDougal Sentenced to Death. Jeffersonville eom-Hpondenee Louisville Commercial, Yesterday. In the Clark Circuit Court the motion fora new trial in the case of the wife-butch erer, Anthony McDougal, colored, convicted of murder during the first week of the court, was overruled, His Honor, Judge Ferguson, deciding that the defendant had been fairly tried and convicted. The prisoner was brought into court and witnessed the pro ceedings of the tribunal with an air of su preme indifference. He was ordered to stand up, and the question, “Have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be PR I(jfe FI YE CENTS. passed upon you?” was asked. “Mo!” was the emphatic reply. The sentence recites lhat the prisoner shall be confined in the county jail until the Bth day of June, 1883. On this day, between the hours of 9a. m. and 3 r. m., the prisoner shall be executed in the private jail enclosure. The sentence concluded with the conventional, “May the Lord have mercy on your soul.” You bet he will,” abruptly broke in the doomed darkey. The prisoner was remanded to jail, and there seen by a Commercial reporter. 'How does the death sentence suit you?” “Very well; but I wish the Judge had or dered me hanged to-morrow.” “Why so?” “I want to die. I have made peace with my Jesus, and the sooner I go to him the better. Since I was jailed my children have forsaken me, and I want to die and go to my wife.” “Do you ever feel remorseful over your awful cleed?” “Why should I? Didn’t I put a harp in my wife’s hand and a crown on her head when I slew her? No, sir; no guilty con science smites me?” Ex-Postmaster Chained with Embezzlement. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, Feb. 2.— Yesterday evening Isaac Mendenhall, ex-postmaster at Albion, county seat of Noble county, was bound over in the sum of SI,OOO to await the action of the United States grand jury. He is charged with the embezzlement of $274 while in office. Mendenhall is an oppointee of President Hayes. The case has been de ferred because of the severe illness of the suspected man. Assistant District-attorney McCareer, of Indianapolis, represented the Government in the examination before United States Commissioner Harper. Probably Fatal Stabbing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Conners vi lle, Feb. 2.— Y'esterday after noon, at Laurel, twelve miles south of here, Johu Colter and Henry Reese quarreled. Colter left the room, but soon returned with a knife, with which he struck Reese in the neck, cutting a gash about six inches long. Reese is not expected to recover. Colter is said to have killed four men, two in this country and two in Ireland. He is in jail at Liberty. Minor Notes. Over SI,OOO raised in Laporto county, ao far, to fight tbe drive well patentees.

An Application to Incorporate the Uuitcl States Express Company in Illinois. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Springfield, Feb. 2.— This afternoon, ap plication was filed with the Secretary oi State to incorporate the United States Ex press Company, with E. I*. House, Oscar C. St. Clair and Charles A. Clowes as incorpora tors: capital stock, SIOO,OOO. It appears that the United States Express Company, now do ing business throughout the country, never was incorporated under the laws of Illinois, and the above named incorporators, young business men of this city, were led to look into the matter by a recent incorporation of anew Western Union Telegraph Company by citizens of this State. The Secretary of State hesitated about granting u license, and took the matter under advisement; but late this evening a license was issued. The agent of the United States Express Company to night informed the officers of that company by telegraph, and has written them suggest ing whether they can not incorporate undei anew name more cheaply, than to buy out anew company.

THE CINCINNATI FESTIVAL I’ho Hein/rkabL nr-> of Patti in Semiramide. Mpter Sucli a Crush Known Before In Musical History—Wagner’s Flying Dutchman Last Night. Compiled from Cincinnati Nows. The attendance at the opera last night may be safely estimated at 6,500. There were probably a thousand persons who paid for admission to Music Hall who were utterly unable to satisfactorily hear or see anything on the stage, and some hundreds who fared no better at the Nilsson concert, at Robin son's, in the afternoon. The practice of sell ing such an excess of tickets over the number justified by the capacity of the hall cannot be condemned in too strong terms. The doors were clogged by a good-natured but de termined throng, who made the entrance and exit of those who held seats a matter of struggle and extreme difficulty. Ladies found it impossible to get to their seats ex cept by the assistance of the police. The windows were filled, and the nooks and cor ners in the corridors and waiting-rooms were occupied by the exhausted and despairing. The standing capacity of any hall has its definite limits as well as its seating capacity. The attention of the management is respect fully called to the above. Patti In “Semirauiide Madame Patti is the greatest soprano in the known world beyond any sort of doubt. Her natural voice is a singular mixture of the tenderest delicacy, the naivest girlish ness, and the most ardent, passionate warmth. She can at one moment carry you into fairyland with prolonged silvery tones, which takes your breath and bid you listen in blissful unconciousness; then she can startle you, and set your pulses beating wildly by some sudden and fitting sforzando. Her runs are so perfect that machinery could not improve them, and her embellish ments are so neat that no crossest singing master in the world could find any flaw to pick in them. Then her compass is vast, and no part of the scale shows any weakness or difference. Her pianissimos fade away, yet are never feeble or imperfect, and when they are as delicate as the faintest ray of sunset they are still easily heard, and hold the heart entranced. The role of “Semi ram ide" is well adapted to Madame Patti, since it contains so many elaborate passages of facile execution, and intermixed with these, many a charming bit of delicious mel ody. Her singing last evening was one of the pleasures to be written on tlie walls of the memory in letters of gold and rose. The surprise of the performance now was the phenomenal singing of Madame Scalchl- Lolli, the great contralto. This lady has never been known here, even by name, till last evening, but in one performance she convinced the assembled thousands that she was an artist who dares to stand side by side with Patti. Scalchi is, in the rank of a con tralto, quite as absolute as Patti among so pranos. The first impression made by her voice is not altogether pleasing, for it seems too harsh, too loud, and, in a word, a little manish. But listen patiently for a few measures, and you begin to feel a strange fascination steal over you. She seems to get slyly hold of your very heart-strings, and before you quite know- it you are led cap tive. Certainly a more marvelous voice, or a more perfect method of using it in artistic work, lias not been heard either here or else where. She is, in a word, one of the few ar tists given to humanity in a century. Her execution is quite equal to that of a soprano,, and in the long, exquisite runs and roulades with Patti, the matchless fitness of the tim bre, the purity of the intonation and the dazzling dexterity, carried the audience into bewilderment, then into tumults of unbounded applause. Such a com plete change in an audience from the first doubt, through increasing warmth, to wild eagerness, as Scalchi produced last evening with her rendering of Arsace, has not been known in this city. She is already estab lished in the admiration and the love of thousands who heard her last evening, and hereafter her name will draw like that of Patti. The whole presentation was so gorgeous, complete and brilliant that it may be placed in comparison with anything ever given iicre or in any European capital. THE COSTUMES. Madtime Patti, as Semiramide, dressed the character with great elegance and thorough appropriateness, saving her train.

Cincinnati, Feb. 2. —The “Flying Dutch man''was the opera at Music Hall to-night. It drew an audience of over 4,000. The me chanical and scenic effects surpassed any thing of the kind ever attempted here, and Alhnni’s singing created almost a furor of enthusiasm. There has been a large number of seats sold to-day for the two additional O{Kiras next week. THE OPERA AND ITS STORY. Owing to its unusual scenic requirements the “Flying Dutchman” has been given but few times in this country. The Flying Dutchman is the nautical Wandering Jew. Captain Van der Decken tries to double a cape in a violent storm. Repulsed by wind and wave, he angrily defies the elements and consigns his soul to eternal damnation should be fail. Satan hears and condemns him to be a wanderer on the ocean until he finds a woman whose love proves “faithful unto death.” Satan allows him to land every seven years to seek a bride; but he has never suc ceeded, during weary years, in finding a true and faithful heart. At least, one morn ing during a storm, he takes shelter in Sand wicke Bay. and anchors his vessel close to another, com man ded by Dalnnd, a Nor wegian captain. The Dutchman recites his sufferings to the Norwegian, who tempted by the Dutchman's wealth, joyfully consent* to accord him the hand of hi* only child, Senta. At the abatement of the storm or the Norwegian’s ♦.onto. >ei t.i, is of an ardent and 8 long been moved ji.* wvi- f the Flying Dutch man, ana secretly cherished an affection for him, often contemplates his pictme (which hangs in her father's parlor) bewail ing so mournful a fate. Her astonishment is boundless on beholding in Van der Docken the hero of her sympathy, and she carncsly promises him her love and undying fidelity, refusing to listen to the arguments and en treaties of Erik, a young hunter, who loves her devotedly. The Dutchman hears Erik’s passionate pleading, and thinking her faithless, summons his crew, and hastily setting sail, bids an eternal adieu to earth and to all hope of woman’s fidelity; but Senta, true to her vow, plunges into the sea as the ship of the “Flying Duchtnan” is swiftly gliding through the water, her noble sacrifice breaking the fateful spell, and uniting their souls in blissful and everlast ing happiness, Cincinnati “Culcliah.” Donn Piatt's Fcuilleton. Speaking of the progress of music at Gin cinnati. I am reminded of an old story told of a theater manager here at an early day. He run his scenic show on Sycamore, and one night during a wait between acts, he ob serve! his second violin was not at work. He hurried to the orchestra, and leaning over, sternly said: “Why don’t you fiddle, sir; why don't you fiddle?” "There is a rest here,” responded the poor fellow, pointing with his bow at the music. “Rest, sir. rest! Do I pay you $3 a night for nothing? Fiddle away, sir, fiddle away!” shouted the indignant manager. Some nights after, the same second violin arriving late, found the orchestra half through an overture. To the amazement and disgust of the leader, the late comer began at the beginning, played with lightning speed until he caught up, and then fell in and played on with the rest. “What the devil did you mean by that?” demanded the exasperated leader, when the curtain rose, and he could speak. "Mean? lam hired to tidrile all the time, and I was determined old Blowhard shouldn't complain.” VINCENT’S DEFALCATION. The Total Slightly Reduced by the Report of the Investigating: Committee. Montgomery, Ala.. Feb. 2.—The commit tee to examine ex-Tieasurer Vincent’s books made a report this morning. It does not change the statement heretofore sent of the actual deficit. The total amount to be ac counted for by the treasurer from Oct. 1, 1880, to Jan. 31, 1882, is $2,063,000. They found in cash $170,000, and a deficit of $213,000. The Governor sent to the two houses a statement of the information sent to the principal cities about Vincent, and the special employment of Pinkerton's Agency. Under the law he can only offer rewards as high as S4OO. He asks the Legislature to pass a law to allow a $5,000 reward, which will be done. The office o f treasurer has been ten dered Representative Smith, of Selma, who has accepted. Bills are likely to pass that no one shall enter the office until the bond is approved; also, that the Treasurer shall invest all over SIOO,OOO ut the end of each fiscal year in State bonds. Who Vincent Is. Montgomery (Ala.) Letter. Vincent is a man of middle age, was a Con federate soldier, has a wife and two children, and is popular. He was for many years reg ister in chancery of Chambers county; was private secretary to Governor Houston from 1874 to 1878; was elected Treasurer in the lat ter year, re-elected in 1880, and again last year, despite a popular opposition to third terniism. His honesty was his strong point, as his ability was only moderate. His salary as private secretary was $1,500, and he lived modestly. As treasurer he got $2,100. There was a marked change in the style of his liv ing when elected treasurer, but it was re ported that he had made some lucky deals in cotton futures, and he was supposed to live on that. His style of living having been luxurious, he had kept a carriage and fine horses, had bought diamonds for his wife, silver for his table, a house to live in, fur nished it handsomely, and lived in all re spects as one of the unper ten. lie was also an amateur of some protensions as a poker player. Knowing ones shook their heads, but the public went on in blind faith that he had means. DAILY WRATHER IUJLLKTIN. Indications. WaU DKPAKTMRNT. 1 Office of the Chief Sm.xai. officer, Washington.

A Business Collapse that Promises Wide-Reaching Effects, Judgments Filtered for More than 51,000,- 000 -Cause of 111© Trouble—Failures for tle Week. Cleveland, Feb. 2. The failure of the Union Iron and Steel Company, of Chicago, created a profound sensation here. The Messrs. A. B. and Ainasa Stone, and other Cleveland capitalists, owned probably two thirds of the stock, and the greater part of the sum owed for ore is due to companies having headquarters here. It was known the company was embarrassed, but the fail was unexpected, even by the stock lioiflers, who first learned of it through the Associated Press dispatches. A prominent banker said to-day that there was not an ore or coke company in the country, but pressed its con tracts on the Union Company, and that no establishment anywhere had better credit, Its iron and steel-works were regarded as among the best in the world. A Chicago dispatch says the Union Iron and Steel-works are closed to-day. A meet ing of the directors is called for Tuesday, Feb. 6. The following persons and corporations to day entered up judgment against the Union Iron and Steel Company: Ainasa Stone, of Cleveland, $850,000: Bank of New York, $35,- 000; American Exchange National Bank, $70,000; Russell Sage, $10,800; Second National Bank, of Boston, $12,500; Union National Bank, of New York, $82,500; total, $1,060,- 800. The most accurate estimates obtainable fix the liabilities of the Union Iron and Steel Works at $2,264,458. The works have been taken possession of by the United States marshal on attachments. Had Management the Cause of Failure. hicago Tribune, yesterday. A Tribune reporter last evening had a talk with a gentleman who is sard to be pretty conversant with the affairs of the concern. “The whole trouble with the Union Iron Steel Company,” said he, “is that it has not been managed. Excuses about high wages are all a fallacy. Bad financial management lies at the root of the whole matter, and there is no use of disguising that fact. What the concern wants is a cool, level-headed financial man, who will get matters into some sort of a tangible financial shape. It is all bosh about their making rails at a loss. They have not done it. and they are not do ing now. They made rails at $42, and they have contracts enough ahead to run the mills until next August. Why should such a concern fail? There is no real explanation except that it is headless financially. Mr. Griffin is president and Mr. Boomer is the treasurer, but they don’t figure right at some point. They met all their bills until this last month. They have evidently lost their heads, and are kicking around in deep water without being able to swim. They have made no big losses, and their labor is no better paid proportionately than the same class of workmen at other {daces. I don’t think that bringing these suits will help matters; they will only make them worse. I suppose that that big mortgage was made to President Griffin to keep the creditors from suing the company. I can see no other rea son. I called at the office of the company to-day, but I could gain no information; everybody there seemed blissfully ignorant. I think that the concern is amply able to pay its debts if it can get time. The collections with them have been good. The whole case, it appears to me, is that they have bought too many goods—more than they can pay for before they can turn them over. The total indebtedness, I think, is not over $2,000,000, including the $1,000,000 Gritfin mortgage. They claim that their plant and stock on hand is worth about $5,000,000, including $2,000,000 of stock. All that the concern needs to-day is a financial man at the helm. He must have a little nerve and a great deal of backbone as well as money to run the concern—and a good deal of it at that. I can’t see why the mills should shut down at all.” Bud Outlook for Steel-Works. President 0. W. Potter, of North Chicago Rolling- Mill. “What is the prospect for the future?” “Only the closest economy in every de partment can prevent every steel-works in America from running at large losses with the present prices for their products. This is a serious matter for the Union Company and the men in their employ. Os course it is hard to think of so many men being thrown out of employment in such a winter us this.” “Is your policy one of continued retrench ment in your own company?” “It is. Another blast furnace goes out to night. Os our nine blast furnaces we now have hut three in operation. Os our four mills for making iron and steel rails we have but one at work. On the North Side, a year ago, we employed 2.00) men, and were {lay ing out SIOO,OOO a month. Now we have only about forty men. According to the present condition of things 1 don’t see how there can be any work for our men during the present year.” A Large Number of Petty Failures. New York, Feb. 2.—The business failures of the last seven days reported to the mer cantile agency of li. G. Dun Cos. number 305, compared with 274 last week. The New England States had 41, the Middle 39, the Western 92, the Southern 78. the Pacific coast and Territories 10, Canada 35, New' York city 10. The great mass of the failures are of a very petty kind. FOUTY-SEVEXTH CONG HESS. THE SENATE. The Democrats Still Attempting to Kill the Tarifl’ Bill by Talk. Washington, Feb. 2.—Mr. Hoar presented a petition of President Eliot and other professors of Harvard College asking that no one blit a pro fessional astronomer of experience shall Imre after be eligible for the position of superintend ent of the United .States Naval Observatory. After un unsuccessful attempt by Mr. McMil lan to have considered a resolution respecting the inadequacy of the water supply in the Dis trict, of Columbia, the until 1 bill was taken up. Mr. Bayard Inquired whether the chairman of the finance committee expects the session to continue into the evening. Mr. Morrill replied that he would ask the Sen ate losir mini lutein tho evening, with the hope or finishing the bill this week. Derisive la li vlil or. The l’r iddent—Until what hour! Mr. Morrill—l do not name any hour. The paragraph embracing potato, corn and rice starch, was taken tin. Mr. Hale moved to make the duty on’potato or corn starch 2 cents per pound.

Mr. Aldrich expl-Hned the new classification of eotton thread, yarn, warps, etc. Mr. Beck said he thought there would he no j reduction on this eln* or goods, but rut her an i increase of about $5.70 per He believed the obange from four to seven classes was mmle to hide a proposed increase of duties, and would give greatly increased opportunities for fraud. The question Os the relative rate of wages in England und this country was again discussed by Mr. Beck and others, and then Mr. Morrill argued in opposition to tho statements made by Mr. Beck concerning tho increased duties. He said that upon the greater portion of the. articles embraced on the schedule there would be an av erage reduction bj r the coimnittec’s bill of not less than 3') percent. Mr. Aldrich thought the reduction would bo about 10 Der cent, if based upon the importations of last year. The debate was continued at loegth by Messrs. Vance and Aldrich. Mr. Slater delivered a prepared argument against high protective duties and iu favor of a revenue tariff. Mr. Harris moved to make the duty on cotton thread, yarn, warps, or warp yarn, of every form and value, 30 percent, ad valorem. At 6:35 a vote was taken on Mr. Harris’s amendment, winch resulted—yeas 13, nays 24- no quorum voting. Mr. Harris’ amendment resulted: Yeas 13, nays 24: no quotum. Another vote showed no quorum, although 44 Senators were present. A motion to adjourn prevailed. THE HOUSE. Auotlier Day Devoted to Ways and Means Committee’s Tariff Bill. Washington, Feb. 2.—Mr. McCook, of Now York, presented a memorial of the Chamber of Commerce, of New York, urging Congress to pass a bill limiting the coinage of the sliver dollar to the requirements of tho people. Petitions were presented protesting against the transfer of the revenue marine life-saving and coast survey services to the Nuvy Depart ment. On motion of Mr. Payson, of Illinois, a resolu tion was adopted calling on the Secretary of the Interior for information relative to the Leaven worth, Pawnee <fc Western railroad. After tlie appointment of conferees on the postoffice appropriation bill, tne House went intt* committee of the whole on the tariff, the pending amendment being that offered by Mr. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, to increase the duty on tanuiug bulk from 10 to 20 per cent, ad valo rem. After debate, Mr. Curtin’s amendment was agreed to—9B to 74. The clause now reads: “Extract of hemlock and other barks used for dvelugand tanning, not otherw’se provided for in tins act. 20 per cent, ad valorem.” After a spirited debate upon the question of a quorum voting on the amendment to the varnish clause, during which Mr. Mills, of Texas, charged Mr. Aldrich, of Illinois, with uttering a falsehood, but subsequently retracted the remark, the clauses relative to varvish were agreed upon as follows: “Shellac varnish, 20 cents per gallon, and in addition thereto an amount equal to the internal revenue tax on the alcohol contained therein; varnish other than Slulluc, 40 per cent, nd valorem, aurt in addition thereto an amount equal to the internal revenue lax on the alcohol contained therein.” The chemical schedule having been concluded, Mr. Morrison offered an additional clause pro viding that in July, 1884, there shall be levied and collected as lax paid on the art tides of goods, wares and merchandise in this schedule, only 00 per cent, of the duties imposed on said articles severally; such a reduction would help rhe manufacturing interests, and, on the oath of protection, could not possibly affect, the question of wages. The amendment was lost— ?s to 94. Mr. Townshend offered as a substitute for the whole schedule a proposition providing that for two years following July 1, 1883, there shall be a retluction of 20 per cent, from existing taxes in the chemical schedule; for the succeeding two years a further reduction of 10 per cent., and after Unit a fun her reduction of 10 percent. Schedule B, earl hen ware and glassware, was then consid* red. Many amend incuts were of fered and rejected, and the debate continued at great b ngth During the discussion Mr. Ham mond remarked that every time hii industry was reached, somebody arose and said: “This is an infant and has to be taken care of.” Thus, in the lutigtiag of the President in his veto of the river am! harbor bill, “as the bill heoomes more objectionable ir secures more support.” Mr. Tucker ridiculed the idea that an industry which only required 30 per cent, protection in its infancy should, in its manhood, receive 65 per cent, protection. Mr.f Carlisle moved to strike ornamented earthen, stone ami crockery ware from tne list of articles to pay 65 per cent, advaloreiu. Mr. Guenther moved to change the duty on green md colored glass bottles, vials, demijohns, carboys, etc., from one and one-bulf cents per pound to 35 per cent, advaloreiu. After a long debate the motion was agreed to, 91 to 71, so the rate remains at 35 per cent, ad valorem. The committee then rose. Mr. Cannon, from the committee on appropri ations, reported the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. Referred to the committee of the whole. He gave notice, under direction of his committee, that he would move, on Monday to pass the lull under suspension of the rules, if ne could bo recognized by the Speaker for 1 hat purpose. Mr. Blackburn —Will rue gentleman Im candid enough to state that the authority given him to move (-usprnston of the rules to pass the bill was not the unanimous action of the committee? Mr. Cannon—l voice the action of tin- commit tee. Tne committee acts by a majority. Os course. I am perfectly willing to state that I aiu so directed ly a stiict party vote. Mr. Townshend—Do you want to vote away $20,000,000 without an opportunity to debate? Mr. Hiscook That is te proposition exactly. It. ia an appropriation bill carrying tho pay roll of the executive departments, and we are will ing to take tho responsibility of passing it with out debate. Mr. Robinson, of Massachusetts—You passed rhe. sundry civil bill without debate iu clie Forty sixth Congress. A Senate joint resolution was passed authoriz ing the public printer to remove certain mate mils from the government printing-house. The House then adj oirned, though an attempt was made by the advocates of the whisky bonded extension bill to prolong the session idr the purpose of Securing a night session on Mon day next for consideration of the measure. AMISKMKMS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE —“THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.” The Hess English Opera Company gave a very meritorious performance of Haifa’s opera, “The Bohemian Girl,” last evening. Despite tho stormy night and slippery condition of the streets, a surprisingly complimentary audience was in attendance. Although the tale of the opera is as familiar as tho song “I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls,” it still maintains its pnpulaiity. The cast, in the main, was a strong one. Miss Sr. Quinton was in excellent voioe and her personation of the part of Arline was symmetrical throughout, oxhibiting much natural grace and an abundance of chic. Miss Leighton, as tho Gipsy Queen, was not satisfactory, ami oinitt -d several of the songs assigned her. Henry Peakes snug him self into favor at. once. As Dcvllshoof he Is the peer of any one essaying the part. Mark Bmith was admirable as ('omit Arnheim His splendid voice seems tohnnrnve with each recurring sea son.

The marriage of Mr. Henry Sample and Miss Annie Pierce occurred at Lafayette on Thursday afternoon at the residence of the bride’s parents, and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friend*. The bride was very handsomely attired in white brocade velvet and matelassa silk trimmed with dueliesn lace, with bouquet of Marotial-Neil roes and lilies of the valley. The parlors were tusfeil.v decorated with plants, stnllax and natural flowers, the mantel being banked in green, with “S. P.” in the center, com nosed of bright carnations.

James McCrea. manager of the Pittsburg, Cin cinnati Sc St. Louis lines, left yesterday morning tor Florida, to be gone ten days. W. B.

Siahlmnn, gem ral truthe manager, which tends to eonfiriu tin* re port that the resignation of A. R. Southard, gen eral freight agent, was bona tide. .C. K. Henderson, general manager, J. D. Camp bell, general solicitor und A. Suily, secretary of the Indian i, Bloomington Sc Western Railroad Company, left last evening over the I. B. fc W. for the Bust. The two last named gentlemen go directly in to New York, and Mr. Henderson will return probably to-morrow. The most intimate friends of I). W. Caldwell, vice president and gt-.nerui manager of the Niekei-plnte. are sanguine that Mr. aldwell will remain with tills road out a short nm. An officer high in aurhoritv onthe East Tennessee, Virginia Sc Georgia road recently stated that. tin* S3 miicate controlling that property w-re confl aeut that after July 1, 1883, Mr. Caldwell would be at the heud of the management of that prop erty. Local Notes. Anew first-class freight engine was received this week for the Indianapolis division of the Y-, C. Sc Bt. L. lines, and iu a day or two u couple snore will arrive. The Lake Erie Si Western road is getting the cream of the cast -bound business out of Muncie, and the Bee Line people are considerably dis turbed over tlie matter. There are indications that the former is not strictly adhering to rates. Court Holliday, agent of the Great Eastern at this point, is In high glee now that tie can take business for New York Great East ern line is operating over thefl^■ I aware, Lnelca- A- Western road betweea Buffalo and New York. Ine general manager of a western road this week applied to t in-Bald win locomotive works to build six locomotives, and was answered that they were full of work to about tin* Ist of August, and can only take orders for delivery efrer that date. The Vandalia comnanv is laying an independ ent track between Kuightsvllle and Brazil, to be used exclusively for their coal tradio, so heavy is the coal movement at times between these points that the passenger trains are frequently more or less delayed. Through its new traffic agreement with the Illinois Central the V.mdalia is doing a very handsome Southern business, fu rite month of January the latter brought Into Indianapolis 612 carloads of New Orleans freight, the ship ments being made up of sugar, molasses, rice und frut i a. An official of the Louisville, New' Albany Sr Chicago road states that it will require thirty days r good weather to put the Chii go fc In dianapolis Air Line in shape to run trains over it at an ordinary speed. Much of the way. how ever, only additional gravel is needed, und u littli- surfacing up. A couple of Indianapolis parties are said to have got bitten by the bad break in the Nickel plate stock. It will be noticed that, the stock yesterday tumbled to 10 *9. These parties are said to have paid 37 for this Stock, thinking that AS Vanderbilt paid that price it would be a good Investment for them. The Indiana, Bloomington Sr Western manage mant is considering the introduction of anew style of coach for Their night trains; the coach to have four sections, eight berth.*- in the center, ami eight reclining chairs, two at each end of the coach Parties who are to ride but part of the night can do so comfortably in the chairs. It is thought a combined coach of this character would be very popular with the traveling public. The Consol engines in service on the Indiana, Bloomington A Western have one lame point. The capacity >f the tender is not. large enough, more especially the water tank. The engines are hauling 50 per cent, more tonnage than the ordinary Height engine, and consume fuel and water in the same proportion that the ordinary engine does, consequently they are obliged to take coal and water more frequently, their ten ders not being proportionately large with lire lu cre;* “ed number of cars they haul There is more in the tulk that, the Cincinnati, Indtanupoii-, 8t Louis Sc Chicago road would shot ten their line ffr.tweeu IndntnupoliH ami (’hi cago than timr have been supposed. An official of the road yesterday, when ta king of the mat ter, remarked that by building an airline from .Lafayette to Atkinson they couln shorten the •line four miles. They now use the Lake Erie Si Western road the fourteen miles between these points, and really need an independent •line. Bor north of Iroquois the reduction in mileage could be the most advautugeously made. Avery feasible line has been surveyed, which, if built on, would shorten the distance sixteen miics to Chtrngo v leaving Kankakee to the west, a point which the road now makes an elbow to reach. Under the new arrangement engineers on the Indianapolis, Bloomington fc Western road are paid on the mileage basis. Freight engineers on the Peoria Sr 9t. Louts division receive l c ms per mile; passenger engineers 3 cents per mile. On the middle division Height engineers who run the ordinary freight •engines receive three and three-fourths cent s per mile, those who run the Consul-engine’* four cants per mile and pas aengerengineers lint two and three-fourths cents per mde. On the Ohio division freight engineers who run the ordinary freight engines receive three and one-half cents, those who run the Con sol engines four cents per mile. On flits division passenger engineers receive but two and three fnurrhs cents per mile. Engineers who have the Choice of engines invariably take those that pay tlio smallest mileage, as they are the lighter trains atid delayed less on the road. General News. The New York Central Railroad Company nays a tax of $1,274,846.90 ou real estute, eapi ta! stock and earuiugs.

COMES HOME WITH THE BLUES.” Aquilla Jones returned from the East yester day, where be went to sell the Bedford, Hpring rille, Owensboro Sc Bloomfield road. He failed in doing this, although prospects arc fa vorable that it will be sold at an early day. Mr. Jones found that while there was a disposition to buy railroad stock and bonds there was a timidity in taking bold noticeable. Capitalists were holding thoir broach, he said, until the tariff question was settled. While absent, Mr. Jones visited Washington, and had a talk with the senators and representatives of Indiana as regards the tariff question, being greatly inter ested, us the property of the new steel rati mill depends upon a tuvoralde. settlement of the ques tion at issue. WORRYING THK PENNSYLVANIA PEOPLE. Parties who are well posted in the affairs of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company state that President Roberts ami his associates are con siderably disturbed over the hold Vanderbilt is getting in Pennsylvania, as ills investments are assuming vast proportions. Securing control of the Pniladelphia Sc Heading lias not satisfied him. Mr. Vanderbilt’s plans, already devel oped, are quite comprehensive. He is building a railroad which will give the Reading a north ern and western outlet from Williamsport, and he has under way a branch from Jersey Shore to the Clearfield coal regions, where he has pur chased a vast area of bituminous territory. This road may he extended to Johnstown, on the Pennsylvania railroad, to connect with the Bal timore A- Ohio extension at that place. I)ut the most lin port a m of all Mr. Vanderbilt's schemes is the South Pennsylvania, a road which will parallel the Pennsylvunia from Harrisburg to Pittsburg and Wheeling. This line will be some what shorter than the Pennsylvania, amt it will traverse a region rich in agriculture, ami mining. Negotiations are now going on iu tlie interest of Mr. Vanderbilt for tlie Pitrsburg Lake Erie, which line will be very valuable to him when Ins railroad is completed, and there are other schemes, including an extension from Williams port east to tlie Bradford county coal regions. CLEAR SAILING AHEAD. Alfred Sully, secretary, ami J. D. Campbell, gene.rul solicitor of the Indiana, Bloomington Sc Western road, both in conversation with a Jour nal re pouter, yesterday, stated that the syndi cate which owned the property were well pleased with it us an investment, and that the stories they wanted to unload were mere “bosh.” If the Chicago, Burlington Sc Quincy or the Baltimore A Ohio people wautod the property, they, to get it, would have to pay what it was worth, and all talk sis regards official changes on the road were equally ground less. From the general manager down, every de partment was managed very satisfactorily, economically, and the business of the system was fully up to their expecta tion, and the earnings were such that they were a.de to pay their operating expenses, interest, etc., promptly. Never had i there been a time when there was not money j enough 111 the treasury to pay several months’ interest in advance. General Manager Hender son this week met President Garrett ami o:her high officials of the Baltimore Sc Ohio, hiu! was n-o-uied by tlie 111 that the ii. Sr O. would do everything reasonable to advance the interests of the L, B. Sc and went so far as to promise to haul a through conch for tlie L, B. Sc W. to New York when their line to that point was lully opened. SPECULATORS FIX THE VALUE OF STOCKS. A Bee Line official a day or two ago, when questioned l>y a Journal representative as to iue cause of the break m c. f C C .Si I. stock when their business was so good and carried at pay ing rates, remarked that nowadays the pros perity of a road or its adversity had little to do with the value of its slock when in the hands of speculators; it was tint the business of tne roads which is immediately responsible for fluctuation iu prices, tint it is the business of the brokers, tlie largest operators, the specula tive rings, gaud the manipulators of the confi dence of the public, which is responsible. At the present time it seems that railroads are bunt that the contractors, first, may make large sums of money; next that the specu lators on stock exchanges may manipulate their stock and securities as lo best meet their wishes The primary object of railroads is the transportation of freight and passengers at such rates as will afford more or less profit on the money invested in them. Os course those who construct them make as much innney as they can on thc.ir contracts. In the same way that builders make as mochas they can in the const ruction of houses. But after a railroad is built its mission is to serve the public upon such terms as can be agreed upon. Its protits depend upon the amount of business it does and the net earnings it derives trom that business. But the market juice does not contribute in tlie Hiightest degree to its business success or failure. It might to b; and in many cases doubtless is a fair criterion of actual value. But. it is not al ways ho, from the fact that, while the actual hu*iue*sof a railroad must be demons!rated m its earnings, the market price is a matter of tiekle opinion, which can be played upon In one direction or another to suit the selfish interests ot speculators. The Stock-Yards Report. The annual live stock report of tho Belt Rail road und rrauster Company is out, and furnishes some figures that will be of luierest ami cause some reflection on the part of those interested in the welfare of the city, especially with regard to establishing it as a market for live stock. The receipts of hogs for the year were 653,597, against 1,129,894 in 1881. a decrease of 476,- 297; shipments for 1882, 324,786; for 1881, (537,- 520, a decrease of 813,734. Receipts of cattle for 1882.114,74(5; for 1881,144,144. Sheep, 1882, 288.(598; 1881. 225,622. Horses, 1832, 15,987: 1831, 0.565. The largest receipts of hogs in any one day was 8,809 (Dec. 9); largest shipments, 4,125 (Jan. 4>. Since tlie road began operations, Nov. 12, 1577, to Dec. 31, 1882, the stockyards have received 5,319,611 hogs, 640,363 cattle, 849,136 sheep, and 50,795 horses. There are two causes Tor the decrease in hog receipts for last year as compared with the year preceding, the most pofem being tlie discrimina tion of certain railroads against Indianapolis in favor of Chicago. The prospects for this year, however, are better than ever before, and a large increase in the amount of stock received is cou thleutly expected. Real Estate Transfers.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY P>, 1883. STATE WOOL GROWERS. An Address from Governor Porter— Election ofOfticerrs. Suggestions Regarding Hie Tariff on Wool An HinUrteal Paper b> Mon. Robert Mitchell. At the morning session of tlie Wool Growers’ Association yesterday, a paper was read by Uriaii i’riviir, of Greonsburg, upon the number of sheep that may lie profitably kept to the acre, giving it as tiis opinion that twenty-flv© to each 100 acres would produce the best result, ne es timated that in Indiana this would give 5,000,- 000 of the 50,000,000 pounds of wool now an nually imported. In the general discussion which followed the reading of the paper, it was thought that thirty sheep could he kept on eighty acres with more profit and as good results. GOVERNOR porter’s ADDRESS. Governor Porter addressed tho association briefly on matters relating to the sheep-raising unit wool-growing interests, staling in the course of his remarks that “Indiana is not. one of the great wool-growing Stales, yet the production of sheep for their wool and their flesh is steadily in creasing. In 1880 the number of sheej* in tlie State, according to the United States census, was 1,029,270; in 1932, according to the report, of our Bureau of Statistics, the number was 1,3 3 to about latitude 48°, and perhaps farther south. They also frequent tlie elevated and cragged ridges with which the country between the great mountain range and the Pacific coast is inter sected, but they do not seem to have advanced farther eastward than tlie declivity of the Rooky Mountains, nor are they found iu any of the hilly tracts near Hudson’s Bay. They collect 111 herds,of from thirty to forty young rams and females, herding together during the winter and spring. Mr. Drummond Informs us that tlie Bocky Mountain sheen exhibited the simplicity of character so remarkable in the domestic species, but that where they had been often it rod at, they were exceedingly wild, alarmed their companions on tiie approach of danger by a hissing noise, and sealed the rocks with a spued and agility that baffled pursuit. Some naturalists have supposed that tills variety of the sheej) family is substantially the same as the Asiatic Argali, but of diminished stature. Others dis sent from t lits opinion, not only on account of its size but of a difference In tne curvature of the horns. Those who maintain it imagine that some of the Argali originally pussed Behring’s Strait on the ice to the A men cun continent. “The fat-rumped sneep,” save Dr. Anderson, “resemble one another bv Ua ing—particularly the males—a solid mass of fat formed upon the rump, divided, ms it were, into two hemispheres, which take the form of tho hips, with u little knob of a tail 111 the middle. Borne of them have horns, nut others do not Its covering is a mix ture of hair and wool. Some of tiie breeds weigh us much as 2o pounds, and the mass of tut formed on the rump varies from a tenth to a fifth part of the entire weight. In tho neighborhood ot Caucasus, the hiud quarters are salted as hams and sent in huge quantities to the northern part of Turkey. It lias been supposed by some writers that this breed tuny lie tlie same as that which was bred by the Patriarchs, in the da vs of Abraham and Moses. Tho sacred jen nran mentions mat Moses took the tar and tho riunj), ana all the fat which was upon 1u in wards, and burned them upon the altar fur a burnt offering. Tint SHEEP OF THIBET. The sheep of Thibet, winch are very numer ous are chiefly a small variety of tlie fat-ruiupcd Persian and Abyssinian, with black heads and necks. Homo are hairy, with short wool under neath, while others bear a long, soft an.l ft no wool. It is from tho latter that many of the costly Indiuu shawls are made. Not a little of tills pecular wool finds its wuy to British India, and is there manufactured Thin breed is found iu its purest state in the deserts of Great Tar turv; no other variety being near to contaminate its blood. It Touches tar into tiie interior and northern p-irtsof Russia, and is much dissemin ated in China, Persia, Ilmdortan, Asia Minor ami eastern Africa as well as Thibi-t. in Pales tine it is more numerous thit 11 any other breed; indt-ed me largest proportion of tha siu-ep of northern Asia being of this description. Professor Pallas conjectures that this tain |ed tljr* sinking system. For sale by all Drug THE DIE 8. A.
