His so‘e food was dry bread, which vms handed to him twice a day. three times a. day he received water ; and his bed was the bare damp boards of the floor. His hands were chained. and when suffering extorted groans from him, he was gagged. And all this torture was inflicted without trial or sentence of any military authority. This is almost as bad as some of the instan- ces of hideous brutality the: have occurred in the armies of Germany and Austria. â€"â€"They have a primitive way in some parts of Hungary of proceeding against persons accused of crime. Mike». Traillu, u. boy 0:15, employed as a servant in the neighborhood of Temesmr, was euepeam'i of stealing about ‘58 from his master. He was handed over to the police, and being suspended by the feet, head downward, from a hook in the ceiling. was belabored for two hours with a wet rope. The next morning the half dead boy was stretched on the floor and beaten on the legs and knees with a audgel. A few hours later a magistrate ordered him to be suspended again by the feet, and in that position he remained until he was unconscious. In the evening etill refusing to conlees, lie was held with naked breast and arms against a. red-hot stove. A broter of the lad. who implored the local notary to intercede and put an end to the torture, was thrown into prison by order of that functionary, and heavily ironed. On the third day, by order of higher oflioials, who had been informed of these doings, the two brothers were releaaed. Such occurrences-are not rare among the densely ignorant country populations of eastern Europe. â€"â€"The Methodist Episcopal church south is next to the largest of all the Methodist bodies in the world.

The Steam Barge Venderbilt Destroyed by lure. GoLLmowoon. ,Ont., June 14.â€"uetters have been received here to day by the owners of the steam barge Vanderbilt, which con firm the report that the schooner had been destroyed by fire on Saturday morning last. The boat and cargo are a total loss. The Vanderbilt left Collingwood on Tuesday, 6th 1 of June, with 280 barrels of lime and iii mixed cargo of building material bound for ‘ Manmanise, Lake Superior. the property of , the Michipicoben Native Copper Uompnny.i Everything went well until the evening of the , 10th,when off Sulphur Island, smoke was discovered issuing from the forward hatch. The Captain was at once notified of the fact that there was fire in the forward part of the vessel and headed his steamer for Serpent Island some twelve miles distant, with the view of saving life and the stunner if possible. After the steamer had~been beached. and, again on examination. it was found and fully realized by those on board that the fire was raging below, and had originated from the lime. The crew were picked up by the captain of the steam barge Kitty Height who conveyed them to Bruce mines where they now await the arrival of the first steamer down. The Vanderbilt during last winter went under reptirs, which cost the owners $2,500I which made her an A 2 vessel, and was owned by J. M. Appleton and B. Cr. Campbell, of this town. She was partially insured in the Anchor Marine on her hull, and her cargo was fully insured by the consignets. A matiimoniai sensation took place in Ed wardaon. a small town on the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific railroad, about twelve miles south of Windsor. on Sunday lust.

Your correspondent does not know the age of the groom, but he is apparently quite young.

Counterfeit, Bond Plate. and Their Significance. VVAEEINGTON June 6.â€"The theory that the genuine plates of the United States 6-81 bonds have been utilized in the productionof coun- terfeits has been corroborated by the iecret testimony of at least one expert from the Bureau of printing and engraving itself. In the pursuit of information as to the source of the bond plate recently delivered to him by S. M. Felker. a representative of Doyle, who was recently convicted in Chicago, Secretary Fol- ger sent for one of the bureau experts, who was obliged to admit that a part of the work was genuine. But the point that puzzled the expert was, that it was not pretended that the counterfeit bonds found in the possession of Doer were printed from this plate. Friends of the Secret Service division could not see the object of either making or delivering such a plate if it was not the one from which the bonds were printed. ri‘hey did not ‘know, or were interested in denying, that all the counterfeit material was not delivered to them when they caused to be condoned the offence of Broekwey and Smith. They were surprised to learn that Secretary Folger had this plate, and immedi. ater set themselves to work to account for it. Every effort in this direction has only dis» played their ignorance, inefficiency, and incompetencyâ€"ignorance of the methods of counterfeiters, inefficiency in thwarting them. and ineompetency to prevent the repetition of the dangerous business as pursued by Brook- wny and Smith. FACTS FOR THE DETEC- TIVES. The failure of the secret service men to make the true explanation has been supplied by 001. W. P. Wood, who says that the face plate delivered to Secretary Folger by Felker, though not itself used by the oountorfeiter to print the spurious bonds, was in fact the matrix of the plates that Were used. How many there were of these nobody knows. The fact that at least one was made is proved. by the plate in the hands of the Secretary. This proof is obvious to any one who under- stands electrotyping. A portion of the lead matrix from which the plate was made still remains in the lines, and may be picked out. A point that also puzzled the :Xpert and the secret service men was the fact that the face plate in Secretary Folger’e possession was evidently the result of two processes. Part of the work on the plate is engraved in such copper as is ordinarily used by en- ‘ gravers. Another part is electrotype cndl transferred work, inserted in the body of the1 plate, so that the engraved work and the inserted work together form a complete face of a. bond. 001. Wood says the inserted work was so bunglingly fitted into the plate that it destroyed parts of the vignette and the letter- ing, which Smith repaired by retouching in the electrotypes, or left unfinished as can easily be seen in the flagstaff of the color bearer in the vignette and other parts. This peculiarity was pointed out by Col. Wood, and it has convinced the Secretary that these do- fective points are thus substantially account- ed for. lol. Wood insists that the Govern~ ment has been imposed upon by the delivery of mere electrotypes, the originals having been heretofore retained and used to pur- chase the immunity of counterieiters. If the excuse of Cesileer and the secret service men should be accepted, that it is counterfeited, the very work in the hands of the Secretary shows the use of a transfer press upon the plate. 001. Wood asks why that machinery was not surrendered. If the secret service men end Cesilear knew what they pretended to know, that it was counterfeit work, they ought to have known that they had not got all the material. Their present explana~ tion puts them in the dilemma of acknow- ledging ignorance or corruption. It should be borne in mind that both Casilear and the secret service men are simply defending themselves in the explanation they make. Casileur is trying to show that noth- ing was stolen from his custody, and the se- cret service men are trying to show that they got; all the counterfeiters material. 001. Wood shows that the facts are against their explana- tion. and says that they cannot use the coun- terfeiter Ulrich as they did in the ease of the 7-30 counterfeit, to go to Washington and declare that he did the counterfeiting himself, because Brockway now says that the 7-305 were made from electrotypes obtained from lead impressions taken (tom the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Besides this face Secretary Folger has in his possession, deâ€" livered to him by Felkei', in the interest of Doyle, coupon plates, part of this same $1,000 bond, which are the product of the transfer press directly. 001. Wood says he does not wish to con- done the ofienco of Doyle, Brockway, or Smith, and that he balieves they all should be in the penitsmiary. and would have been had it not been for 3116 persistent efforts of Gasilear and Brooks, by their praoticall cov- ering up the tracks of the counterfeiters. There is no doubt that Secretary Folger is in earnest in the investigation which he is pursuing, and will not shield any one from the consequences of neglect or inefficiency. He has been informed by disinterested experts that part of the work is genuine, and is bound to satisfy himself on that point. The story of the circulation of millions of these bonds, 001. Wood says, is nonsense. He says that Brockway. though an adept. at get- ting counterfeit wOrk done by others, is him- self a coward. Having had him and his gang under surveillance, 001. Wood declares that he knows the gang could not have done the large quantity of work imputed to them. He has no confidence in stories which are circu- lated to weaken faith in the public securities, and possibly with the design to impress Secre- tary Folger with alarm lest his investigation should impair the public credit. While anx- ious to preserve the public credit, the seal-en tary is not disposed to stop the very important inquiry shat he has begun. I Bya. Cheeky Gang of Missouri Bandits.

J ., has a steam~whistle Whose deep bass tones- are as familiar art ‘eumise to farmers within a. radius of thirty miles, of the town. The people of ; Bay Ridge. LL. regulate their clocks and watches by its accurate bluatz. 0n calm. pleasant days it has been heard at the Baflsery. ;.The. ocean and sound steamers have whisflas,‘ from eight to twelve inches in diameter, that can be heard from ten to twenty miles. There' is a heavy toned whistle at Sandy Hook about: fifteen inches in diameter. Many of the 000.1 mines of the country have big whis- tles to warn miners of inpeuding dangers, and to indicate the time for begmmng and quitting work. It is abouc the size of 9. flour barrel, being twenty-seven inches long and twenly inches in diameter. The average diam- eter of sawmill whistles is four inches. Its extreme length, from the bowl to the ornament on top, is four feet nine inches. Its spindle is three and one- hali inches in diameter, or as large as an or- dinary steam whistle. It is made of cast brass Ind cost $500. It will be blown by means of aspring valve connected with a steam pipe four inches in diameter. A long blast upon it would almost empty :1 IOUâ€"horse power boiler. The Canadian mill that will use it has a boiler of 150 horse power. The mill has been totally destroyed by fire several times. The proprietors, in order to guard against future destruction of property! ordered the whistle. In case a fire breaks out all employes of the mill and the various fire departments in neighboring towns will be summoned by the big whistle. It is also to be used by a. system of signals to give orders to wood choppers and employee: at a distance. But the largest whistle in the world may, be seen at the store of the Eaten. Cole, and Bumham company, 58 John street. It. was made at their factory in Bridgeport. Conn., and was ordered from them by Manning, Maxwell 3; Moore, of Liberty street" for a Montreal firm. It will be used by the largest sawmill in Canada. Experts in brass work and steam whistles yesterday pronounced it one of the best-proportioned and the largest of all the steam whistles they ever had seen. The most penetrating and effective whistle in the world is claimed for Paterson, N. J. It is on Frost’s silk will on Sandy Hill. The neighbors hold their hands to their ears when the clock indicates the approach of the time for it to sound. Its scroech is demoniaool. The human ear cannot get used to it. It always startles. It is said that the whistle was originally made for a. North river toga boat. but that the harbor commissioners were satisfied with one toot, and forthwith ordered it out of New York waters. It has a compass of about three octaves. The sound starts low and exesperating, and gradually ascends with slow torture till it reaches the height of its malevolence ; then it sinks into a. shudder of agony and dies dismelly away like the note of an automatic fog horn. At noon. however, when the engineer is hungry, it gives forth 9. sudden and unearthly whoop that has been known to stop a. clock. “ Ne," said a patriarchal, portly gentleman whose figure is well known upon the streets 0 Detroit. “ I don’t do nothing in the hos: racing line now, but the time was when I took my ‘ whirl‘ with the rest of the boys.

Did I ever tell ya about the big trot a-tween Royal George and Big Sally ?” “ No.” “ Well, there‘s where I settled off a lot of old scores with the beds ; a. lot of old scores, and don’t you forget it 1 Yo see. when I was young and green, like the rest of ye, I used to be desprit fond of a boss race, and haviu' more money than I did sense, I used to think that the best host; in a race would win, and put up my dollars accordingly. The ‘ smart Elicks’ had caught; me putty heavy two or three times, and then laughed at me until I was mad clean through. “ One day I was down in Indianny, and I went to a. hose trot. In the race was a little tangy bay mare named Sally. and she was a. clipper, and no mistake. She won the race as slick as grease. Arter the race was over I went to her owner. and sex I, ' What’ll you take for year mare ?' sez I. “ ' Eighteen hundred dollars,’ sez he. ” ‘ I’ll take her,’ sex I. “ Well, I jest drove her ever to a stable and told the proprietor I would send for her in a few days, and then I came back to De- troit. You 'member Sam Slick the driver, don‘t ye i?” it Yes.” “ Well, I told him toga down to Indisnny and get the mere, take her out to the track and go to joggin’ her around, and if anybody inquired about her, to tell ’em she was a colt he had picked up out of'the country for me, and that she was going to make a fast one. I charged him parti'e'lar not to speed her faster than ’35 or ’35 under no circumstan- oes. “ Now, old Siggins had a fizst horse, Royal George. that could trot in about '31, and that was his lowest notch. Well, these fallows soon got into the habit of going out to the track and timin‘ Sally. My duvet knew what he was about, and while he was appar- ently sendiu’ her for all there was in her, he was mighty keerful not to land her under the wire in less ’35. Putty soon old Siggins come around and, sez he, “ Putty good mare ye’vegot,’ sez he. “ 'Fhséeat piece of horse flesh that stands in Michigan,’ Bez I. A “ ‘ Bet you a thousand dollars Royal George can beat her two weeks from to-dey,’ eez he. “ ‘ Done 1' sez I “ lZlThe next day old Siggina sent Royal George out to the track and set him to work. I waited about a. week or ten days, until I knew it was time for them to commence speeding him. and then one night I gave a. colored fellow that worked around my burn a dollar to go out to the track and move the half mile pole ’bout thirty feet down the heck stretch. Ye see, when a. hose is a. training they rarely speed him over a quarter of a. mile, and nine times out of ten that is on the back stretch. They’ll send him round the turn at a lively jog, and manage to have him trotting good and square when he passes the quarter pole. Then they’ll send him up the back stretch for all he can do, and catch the time at the half. “One mornin’ a. dozen or more of these fel- lows was out; there, and utter Royal George had got warmed up, Sam heard them say to his drive: : ‘ Send him up the back stretch Bill. and we’ll catch the time.’ Sam hadn’t no way of knowiu’ how fast George trotted up the back, but he need t.th fullers u shakin’ hands and a. lnffin’, and he come down town and told me. Just as quick as ’twas dark I give the colored lellar another dollar and eez I: 'You slip out on the track and put that pole where you found it.’ “The next morninf they had the city aura veyor out on the track, and be measured the beak stretch and found it full length. Then them tellers come down town, and they couldn’t bet fast enough to suit ’em. I took all the bets they threw in my face and had two or three friends out bettin’ for me. Didn't we scoop ’em, though! Sally threw dirt into Royal George’s face every rod of the way. and a sicker lot of fellere than them smart Elicks never wekedlup the next mornin’ with a. headache.” ‘ â€"The recently published returns of the Ausuian (1880)Vcensus show that 59 per cent of the people are employed 1n agriculture, 51} in commerce, banking, and transportation, 3;- in‘libeml professions, 3 1â€"6 are landowners and capitalists. 1 4-5 servants, :1- percent educatloniste, 26.} are engaged in mining, and the occupmions of 3 10 per cent, are unknown: ' - ‘ AN OLD TIME HORSE TROT.
