The Designs of the United States Court ~Binger Mourns His Monetary Loss—The District School In District Conrt. A Much Wanted Individual ‘The cool weather of the past two or three days has aroused the Council Bluffs in- cendiary, whoever he may be, to greater activity; and public speculation 1 again busy trying to imagine where the flames will next break forth, After lying dormant for about ten days, and allowing the fire depart- ment to get well rested from the result of his former caprices, the fire bug again comes o the front, and monopolizes the undivided at- tention of property owners. Four times within thirty-six hours the torch of the arson flend has been ajplied, and about &j,000 dollars worth of property has gone up 1n smoke. The department was called out yesterday morning at an early hour, shortly after the fire at the rink barn was extinguished, to the property at South Main stroet and Tenth avenue, known as the Engle saloon, in a building owned by Martin Hughes. A bucket filled with waste had been set close up to the side of the building and set on fire, When discovered the flames were well under way, and the whole side of the building would soon have becn enveloped. The fire was extinguished before very much damage was done, Oil had been used to ensure the destruction of the building, and but for the timely discovery this would have boen the result. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon another alarm called the department to Mynster street, where the barn of George Richmond, of the Boston Tea company, was in imminent danger of destruction. A pile of rubbish a short distance away had been fired, and the wind blew the flames against the building. The fire was extinguished by the depart- ment before any damage was done. The surprising featura of these fires is thut not the sligntest clue has been secured to implicate any party with the erime of setting them. The police are watching vigi lantly, and several of the fires have been discovered in a very short time after they were set, but the “incendiary has always taken his departure just a second too soon. He must carry oil in some quantity, be it great or smiall, as the traces of it are unmis- takable. Lately, however, he seems to have had a penchant for oily waste, and uses that material with which, Yo Kkindle a midnight blaze. Wednesday night, as Oficer Custer was passing up Mam street, he noticed somethiag smoldering in the middle of the street. He started out to investigate, and found a small bundle of oil waste burning, where it hod apparently been dropped. He was stamping out the fire, when a young man who rooms in an adjoining building called from the window: ido’t I put out that fire?” The officer then ascertainad, in response to several inauiries, that the young man had been out late and on returning to his room found a large packago of the waste hllrninw’m his room. It had evidently been placed there by the incendiary for the pur- pose of burning the building. The fire at the rink stable was started in the same way. Mrs. Pike, who lives n a part of the building, was the one who dis- covered the fire. She opened her back door, which opens into @ small area directly be: side the shed which was burned, and saw the fire just after it was started. It was of very little size and was at the side ot the corn crib. The spot where it started was easy of access from the alley, and the iu- cendiary had apparently stepped in just long enough to drop his little bunch of fire, and then passed on.

Rooker was on trial, and was not completed when court ad- journed, The plaintiff, who js the director of a school district in Norwalk township, sues the defendant, a school teacher, for $30 board. The director agreed to give the school teaclier bis board free if he would teach in that district at the usual price, pro- vided he was sufficiently *‘up” iu higher mathematics to teach the director's children, who were unusually well advanced. The plaintifi alloges that the teacher was not as much of a success as he anticipated, being unable to solve certain problems that called for his attention, and was also ‘“stuck” in quadratio equations in a most hopeless man- ner. This being deemed a violation of the coutract, he sued for board. The teacher ulleges that one of the director’s children was unruly, and was sent home, which an- gerad the parent, ana he then set about playing even with the teacher. The case is simply another example of bot- neaded litigation, The winner will be a loser, as his attorney fees will fer exceed the original clain, ‘The case of Jacob Bartels vs O. M.

Deputy Snertf O’Connor arrested Wade ‘Woodward last evening, and placed him in the county jail, where he will be held to await the action of the district court on a charge of perjury, for which crime he has just been indicted by the grand jury. The indictment was returned last Saturday, but ‘Woodward succeeded in dodging the ofiicers until last evoning. Until a short time ago he was employed as head clerk at the grocery house of Parks & Son. The crime for which he was indicted was the forging of a check for §17 on J. £ Hark- ness, of this city, later he paid over the money, and demanded the check, thinking to destroy all evidence of his crime, but Mr, Harkness would not return it. Woodward secured the money with which to redeem the forged check, by getting John Heno to cash a worthless check on the Citizens bank, and 1t 18 said that another charge of obtain- ing money under false pretences will be brougnt against him. ‘Woodward has resided in this city for several years, and bas been regarded as a straightforward young man, but since this matter developed several unfavorable stories bave been made public, asd he is made a principal actor in seweral suspicious oc- currences, He failed to give bail last even- ing, and will remain in jail to await his trial. s ‘Western Lumber ana Supply Co., 18th and 14th streets and 2d and 3d avenues, carry the largest stock of lumver, piling pole,ties,lime, cement and building material in the west., E.

The Paris Catholic journals record with jubilation a series of fresh tr umphs for Notre Dame de Lourdes, says the Pall Mull Gazette. According to telegrams in the Univers, the patients who have been the subjects of wiraculous cures hardly venture to show themselves abroad lest the en- thusiastic crowd should press upon them and do them harm. A young girl from Alencon, who had baen blind for two years, recovered her sight when taken into the grotto. A navvy from Chartres receiyed a hurt which para- lyzed him and made him a evipple for years. He instantly recovered the use of his limbs. On Wednesday evening a torchlight procession took place in colebration of these and other alleged cures, led by the bishops of Tarbes and Nancy.

Hay and Nicolay narrate their idet’6f what happened at the war departmant on the evening alter the second election of President Lincoln in 1864, Asthey were not pres- ent, their roport st be a matter of heavsny. 1 do not know that any of the particulars they relate are deficient in accuracy,though I ¢an testify that while I was there at that time, [did not ob- serve them., I was not usually on duty in the war department at night, says Charles A. Danaj but Mr. Stanton had directed me to come over that evening, and I ar- rived pretty early, say ut 8 o'clock or half-pust 8, The excitement of the struggle had been intense. In all my experience I have neveravitnessed any other election that had so much ypoli- tics in it, All the resources of partisan sclence, backed by the immense power of the vast and wide-spread expendi- turcs of the war department, then about a million a day, had been employed by the astute and relentless statesman at the head of the war office; and he did it with a pertinacity and skill that never have been surpassed. Of course no great step had been taken without the knowledge and consent of Mr. Lin- coln, Himsel politiciun of a very fe tile and superior order; but the engi- neer whose hand was never taken off the machine, and whose purpose never relazed its high-pressure energy, was Mr. Stanton; and his ardent and ex- ble nature was kept at fever heat to the very last moment of the comtest, and afterward. The president, apparently as serene as a summer morning, was in Mr. Stan- ton’s large private room, and noone was with him except the secretary and Gen- oral Eckert, who came continually with telegrams, The result of the voting was of such a decisive character that the news arrived much earlier than had been expected, and when I went in L learned both from the president and secretary that the question seemed al- ready to be substantially settled. Bach dispiteh that was received seemod only to add to the apparent certainty, and by 9 o’clock there was no longer any doubt. But without waiting for that hour, Mr, Lincoln drew from his breast a thin yellow-covered pamphlet. *‘Dana,” said o to me, “*haye you over readanything of Petvoleum V. Nasby?” pronouncing Nasby as though the first syllavle weve spelled with the letter e. ‘“No, sir,” said I, “‘not much, but I know he writes from the Confederate Cross Roads and prints bis things in the Toiedo Blade.” ‘*Yee,” said Mr. Lincoln, ‘“‘that’sso, but that 18 not the whole, Pull up your chair and listen.” [drew up to him, and he began to read aloud, to me only and not to Stanton, one after another of Petroleum’s funny hits, and between each of them we had a quiet little laugh all to ourselves. But the lion head of the secretary showed plainly that he had no sympathy with this amusement; in fact, his face wore its daikest and sternest expression. However, the reading went on, occasionaily broken by General Eckert's entrance with another telegram, to which Mr. Lincoln paid no very sevious attention, and he quickly turned back to the reading every time. [n this way he read para- graphs and even pages of Nasby. until finally a dispatch was brought in of a more important nature, and he laid the pamphlet Gown to attend toit. While he was thus engaged, Mr. Stanton motioned to me to come with him into General Eckert’s room, and when the door was shut, he broke out in fury: *“God dumn it to hell,” said he, “was there ever such nonsense? Was there ever such inability to appreciate what is going on in an awful crisis? Here is the fate of this whole republic at stake, and here is the man around whom it all centers, on whom it all depends, turning aside from this momentous, this incomparable issue, to rend the God damned teash of a silly mountebank.” This fiery speech of the enraged secretary was interrupted by Geneval Eckert, who had another telegram which he showed to him, and with which we all went back to M. Stanton’s own oflice, in order that the president nright see it. Hardly had he begun to read it, how- ever, when a new occasion of irritation arose. The messenger brought in a card and handed it to the president, who said at once as he pass g over to the secretary, “Show him in!” Stanton read it, and, turning to me, ex- med in a low v “God in heaven, it is Whitelaw Reid!” Tunderstood the point of this explosion av once. Mr. Reid, who was then the correspondent of the Cinci i ette and a great friend of Secretary Chase in Washing- ton, was not_liked by the secretary of war. This dislike had gone so far that the door-keepers at the war department had received directions that Mr. Peid was not to be admitted. But when he sent his card in to the president, they could not refuse it. Mr. Reid came in and was greeted by Mpr, Lincoln, but not by the sec- retary. His purpose was merely to ob- tain from headquarters and from the highest authority the ussurance that the election had certainly gone in favor of Lincoln; and after expressions of thanks and congratulations he with- drew. Just then Judge David C. Carter came in with two or three orther gen- tlemen, among them Mr. Fox, of the navy department, and the reading of Petroleum V, Nasby from the confeder- ate cross ronds was not resumed. These incidents of a memorable his- torical event are not recorded in any annals of the time that I have seen; vet they appear to me interesting characteristic enough not to be forgot- ten. — - MOUNT ATHOS. A Singular Community Where Women Are Unknown. Nothing is more curious than to study the effects upon alarge society of the total exclusion of the female sex, says Murray’s Magazine. It is commonly thought that men by themselves must grow rude and savage, that it is to women we owe all'the gracesand refine- ments of social intercourse. Nothing can be further from the truth., I ven- ture to say that in all the world there is not so perfectly polite and orderly a society as thatof Athos. As regards hospitality and gracious manners, the monks and their seevants put to shamo the most polished western people. Dis- order, tumult, confusion seem impossi- ble in the land of peace. 1f they have differences and squabbles about the r'ghts o1 lirope , these things are r ferred to law courts and determined by argument of advocates, not by disput- ing and high words among the claim- ants, While life and property are still unsafe on the main land and on the sster peninsulas of Cassan- dra and Longos, Athos has heen for centuries as securc asany country in England, So far, then,all the evidence is in favor of the restriction, Many of the monks, being carried to the penin- sula in early youth, have comple forgotten what a woman is like, except for the brown, smoky pictures of the Panagia with her intant, in all the churches, which the striet iconography of the orthodox ehurch has made as un- lovely and non-human as it is possible to be. So far, 8o well. But if the monks imagined they could simply expunge the other sex from their life without any but the obyvious consequences they were mistaken.,” What strikes the trav- @ler is not the rudeness, the untidiness, the discomfort of a purely male society, it is rather 1ts duliness and depression, Some of the older monks were indeed jolly enoughi they drank their wine and cracked their jokes freoly. But the novices who attended at the table, the men and boys who had come from the mainland to work as servauts, muleteers, labor- ors, seemed all suffering under a per- manent depression and sadness. The town of Karyes is the most somber and gloomy place I ever saw. There are no laughing groups, no singing, no gnmes among the boys. Rvery one looked serious, solemn, listless, vacant, as the case might be, but devoid of keenness and interest in life. At firast one might suspect that the monks were hard task- masters, ruling their servants as slaves, but this is not the real solution. It is that the main source of interest and cause of quarrel in all these animals, human and other, does not oceur. For the dullness was not confined to the young monks or the laity; it had in- vaded even the lower animals. The tomeats, which were there in crowds, passed one another in moody silence along the roofs. They seemed porina- nently dumb. And if the cocks had not lost their voice and crowed frequently in the small hoursof the morning, their note seemed to be a wail, not a chal- lenge—the clear though unconscious expression of a just want in their lives, Poisoning in India. Dr. Lyon, the analyst to the govern- ment of Bombay. in his last annual re- port, has much to say on the nse of poi- son in Indin. This seems to be on the increase, for while he had to deal with 800 of these cases last year, he had only 282 the year before, and the general work of analysis had increased fivefold since the first report was issued in 1872, says the London Times. Partof this enormous increase is due tothe increase in the criminal use of poisons, ana it is noticeable that vegetable poisons,which were most generally in use a fow years ago, are now giving way to metallic poisons. This is attributable to the ease with which such drugs, such as arsenic, may now be obtained in India, there being practically no restriction on their sule. In eighty-four undounted cases of human poisoning in the year, arsenic was used in forty-one, pounded gluss in three, copper in six, mer- cury in five and red lead 1n three. Of the remaining twenty-seven cases opium wus used in fiftecn, datura in five, alcohol in two, prussic acid in one and oleander and other plants for the remainder. In a iarge number of cases the poisoner is never discovered; a family sits down to rice which they ve themselves carefully washed; all taken ill and one dies; arsenious overed is never ar oxide in large quantities is dis in the dish, but the murdere discovered. Many cases of w similar character are quoted by Dr.Lyon. Flour found in many cases to be adulterated with an enormous amount of arsenious oxido. comparatively new in India; there were only three cases during the year. In one a man threw a packet of powdered glass into a rice mill; in another a woman pounded her colored glass ban- gles and mixed the powder with the grain she was grinding for her hus- band’s food. In many cases the poisons are traced to village groceries, who al- ways appear to have large quantities, their chief stocks being composed of the basest of powerful alkaloids, of opium, datura, plumbago root and various mer- curial compounds.
