The Cause of the Cincinnati Blot Meet. Ilia Doom Bps Johnson, the negro barker, was banged In f ho jail yard at Cincinnati in the presence of UOO people. "He made a few rambling re marks On the scaffold, declaring his innocence and requesting- all to meet nun in heaven. He was baptized by a Methodist miuister on tnepevioas evening -and passed the night nervously smoking a clay pipe, praying and singing hymns until 2 o'clock this morning, whonhe went to sleep. He arose at five and a. o breakfast, broke down completely and be. ganto howl and cry in a craven maimer. Af lei . his kintism. however, lie expressed himself happy and not atraid to die, but on . tbe pmfTold he fchook lile a leaf with fear. Johtjsoii's crime was the most fiendish ever committed in Ohio. Tho story of Johnson's work, as a partner of Allen Ingalls, made a great sensation . throughout the 'World and precipitated the great not in Cincinnati. On Friday nicbt, lobruarv 15, 1834t a small cabin near Avondalo was hurneiL ! It had beem occupied by - Beverly Taylor, an old negro, bis wifo ' and an. adopted daughter, Eliza Jano Lambert, aeed eleven. On Sat urday morning the charred rains of the old but.jsuggestjd to people in the vicinity the . deatfa-by fire of the throe inmateu during the . nltihl. A week later Marsiiai .Brown, ioiiow- - ing an intuitive clew, .found thq bodies of the missing: peopte in the dissecting room of the Ohirt Medical colt ige, on Sixth, near Vine. The lilies wta-e found as brousht to the col lege! The skull of each was fractured. There was lunmittakablt evidence that- ta'.-h 'person had been murdered. Snbsequ.nit investiga tion staowoa timt tnov nod been Drousnt to the college on the night of the fire by two ne- ctosb, who had been paid tor the bodies ny Dr.lCilldv. the demonstrator in anatomy. -Marshal Brown at t-nce ai rested Allen Inzalls and Ben Johnson, in : A von dale. chaifcing them with murdering the Taylor f amffy. A llama ol intiignatiou against the medical college passed over tho country, and for me days the prevailing topic of conver sation everywhere, was- on the murder. A monlh later came ti e baptism of Are and . riot upon the jail and -court-bouse. .John son f was sentenced to hang on Friday,; Sep- ttmier 12. He stated when on trial that be was about tliirty years old; 'that he had , teen bora a slave in Trumbull county, Kentucky, and had served a yeir in the army. 1 From confessions, which both men made during thei stay in jail, it is certain that for years . Johnson, Ingalls and others were making "still " raisins tnelr business. The Blalae Election.

The Peanut Crop.

The American peanut exerts an important influ ence upon the American people, and the larger the crop the more potent, naturally, would be the influence. ' , These Died of Laughter. - Chalcas, the sooth-sayer, died of laughter at the thought of bis having outlived the time predicted for his death. . A fellow in rags had told him that he would never drink the wine of the grapes then growing in his vineyard; and added: l11 these words do not come true, you may claim me for your slave." When the wme was made, Chalcas held x feast, and sent for the fellow to see how his predictions had failedr When he appeared the sooth-sayer laughed so immoderately at the womld-bo prophet that it killed him. Crassus died from laughter on seeing an ass eat thistles. Margute, the giant, in the Morgan te Maggiore, died of laughter on seeing a monkey puUiug on his boots. Zeoris, the Grecirn painter, died at sight of a hag he had just depicted.- A peculiar death was that of riacut, who dropped dead in the act of pay ing a bin. There are many men to-day, how ever, who would probably die of surprise, if they found themselves doing the same thing.

Many of the cookies have a method of flying through the water that is quite novel. They are generally beautifully colored, and hare long, streaming tentacles, and suddenly, with out warning, they dart np from the bottom, and by a violent opening and shutting of thsir aires rush away with their long, reddish hair streaming after them, presenting a very enri ous appearance. The shell known as the Lima Nians is particularly remarkable for these' flights, and all the scallops are jumpers and lea pert. When placed in a boat they have been knewn to leap out, and the ordinary scal lop has been known to jump out of a pot when placed npon a stove.

' One of the bad liUle hathen boys who eatch small birds on the trees in the settlement was fined 91, with the alternative of seven days' imprisonment, in the Mixed Court this morning. Of course he never had a dollar in his possession, and it was only a mockery to give him the option of a fine. lit. D. C. Jan sen, last year, when he was Curator of the Shanghai Museum, called the attention of the Municipal Council to the wholesale destruction of small birds by these small boys. It would now appear that since the police have been down on these juvenile fowlers, the boys have Improved on their limed bamboos, not in any way to make them any more elective in cap turing birds, hbt to elude detection by the police. Instead of having simply a bamboo of from fifteen to twenty feet, with bird's-lime on the end of it, the boys have adopted the fishing rod patent. A small piece of bamboo, covered with bfrd's-lime, is fitted into the hol low of the long bardboo, and they use this rod in catching. the birds on branches of trees. But if a policeman is seen and they can keep as sharp a lookout for policemen as for birds they withdraw the small piece of bamboo cov- t d with lime and throw it aside; and when ie policeman comes up the boys are only playing with a long piece of bamboo that hasn't get any more points about it than any other bamboo; The American's Eudnrance ef Cold. Lieut. .Greejy is of the opinion that his men, if well provisioned, could not have continued to live at Fort Conger more than five years. The constitution of the arc-rage American is not capable of prolonged continuous adjust ment to more than zero cold, and such accli roatizatiou could only "come about after a series of generations where tne law of survival of the iittest should overate, and in corres pondence with a radical change in organiza tion, 'in which nutritive and muscular develop ment should, 'predominate. over cerebral devel opment ; in other words, nature has shown us .in the mentally dwarfed but physically hardy Esquimaux, the type of organization best fit ted for living in those septentrional latitudes. It, however, is no ksn a mailer of fact that the inhabitants of the J meridians! climes admir sly adapt themselvies temporarily to the most ixtreme cold. . In ihe retreat from Moscow, in 1812, the Italian regiments stood the cold bet ter than the 'Germans, and notably better than the Bussianfl, who were accustomed to tlc cli mate.' The Turks presented the same relative immunity at tbe siee of SebastopoL Longet, from whom these facts are taken, remarks that the aptitude to reewt inclement temperature is acquired and lost in r turn; that people nur tured in temporats or cold climates, who .go to the torrid zone to live, are much less sensitive to the oold for a time after their return to their native country, though this lessened sus ceptibility disappears , after a year or two.' .

Bhe followed her father's advice. When she visited the stable the coachman was always there, and ho never missed an opportunity of holding conversation with her. Me always entered tho stall of the horse with her, evidently desiring to convey the impression that they were talking about the horse. The elder brother, Giovanni, saw these frequent conversations and noticed that the coachman was placing himself upon a foot- ing of familiarity with the girl. Giovanni kept an eye on the proceedings and always strolled down to the stable after his sister had gone. When he approached the coachman always moved silently away; but in various ways he contrived to show the young man that he re sented the espionage. Giovanni told his father that the man was too iamiliar, but Mr. Moro sini, who was not suspicious, laughed and' paid no attention to his son's words. The frequent horseback excursions of Miss Morosini were also favorable to the coachman. He monnted a horse and rode forth as attend ant groom. It is now remembered tuat he was constantly seen riding close up to Miss Moro sini, pretending to arrange her riding habit. When she rode out in the carriage she fre quently dropped something. This gave the coachman an opportunity to stop his horses and. exchange a few words or expressive glances with her. Once, when her younger brother, A P. Morosini, was riding with her, she begged him not to sit so close to her, at the ir "tfer? "!t?Mng t cnnehOT"! ";rhn aivi i .

It was as certained, however, that Mr. Morosini was in the habit of keeping his daughtars in the strictest seclusion. He allowed them no male society at ah. Signor Cantom, his banker, said : "It may be that Victoria g having been kept so much aloof from young mens society was one 01 tne reasons ior ner Decern ing infatuated witn tne coachman." xne members of the family said that Miss Vic toria's mental condition was perfectly healthy. While victoria jaorosmi was a stuaent at Mount fit Vincent she was the star at the public exhibitions. She was an admirable sieger, and her skill as a performer on musical in&ti amenta was phenomenal. As a pianist she ranked far above all the other pupils, and she played the harp and violin. After leaving school, it is said, she learned to play the cornet and, strangest of all, the trombone.

His ex postulation with them having no effect, he took his daughter away from their care, and he has since been very bitter in his denunciation 01 the cupidity 01 "tnose women with the big hats." After leaving school Vic toria studied singing unaer Agramonte, du has had little opportunity to display the quality of her voice owing to tne aomssuo habits of her father and h:u unwillingness to allow his children to depart from his neighbor hood. .. . Victoria was the light of her rathors eyas. While she was at school he visited her two or three times a week, and wrote to her sometimes twice a day, addressing her as "My adored angel." When he visited her she would skip over a balustrade to meet him, and he would greet her with kisses on her mouth, eyes, cheeks, ears, and hands. Their meetings were a source of wonder to all the girls, and a source of not a little irreverent amusement to some of them. A BROKEN BANK'S Til AG ED T. President Bnnyen's Terrlfcle BeU-sengBt Death.
