OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Indications for Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Stationary or lomr pressure, higher temperature, variable winds, shifting to the eoutheait, partly cloudy weather, and rain Gold closed in New York yesterday at 105. . See Mall and Telegraph items on fourth Pge. A correspondent at Newark, G., ends us a good item; but should have sent his name along as a guarantee. ' The correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer is in error when he- states that Hon. A. Denny Rodgers, the newly appointed Postmaster, is a relative of President Hayes. The Iowa .Republican Convention was held yesterday. A resolution supplemen tary to the platform adopted, and first offered as an amendment, declaring that the President's Southern policy "is in accord with the principles of the Republican party," wan laid on the table by a threefourths vote the proportion proba bly being guessed at by the reporter. This does not seem to consist with the regular report of the committee on Res olution, which was adopted, and of which a synopsis appears in the telegraphic columns. That report exhibits no marked deviation from the line of the President's policy, and if the fire-brand of direct endorsement had not been thrown in the action of the Convention might have gone to the country as an endorsement of all the President has done since his inauguration. The demand that the rights of every citi-tin should be everywhere secured ; the credit to the Republican party for the salvation of the Union; the declaration that the permanent pacification of the South and the complete protection of all citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights, is a duty to which the Republican party stands pledged; the demand for a vigorous exercise of all constitutional powers for removing juBt causes of discontent on the part of any class, and the demand for courage and fidelity on the part of the President and Congress, constitutes a definition of the President's policy with which we do not believe his earnest supporters will seriously find fault. The live principle is there; and while there is agreement on that principle, the disagreement on the means of accomplishing the end sought is something which we may hope time will overthrow. Scioto Valley Railroad. Portsmouth Tribune, 27th. 1 The route between Chillicothe and Waverly has been settled. Crossing Paint creek and the canal at Chillicothe, it comes down the west side of the canal to within four miles of Waverly. Here it crosses the canal and runs east of Waverly through the Corwin and Clough lands, and forms a junction with the Springfield, Jackson and Pomeroy road within three hundred yards of Waverly. The right of way along the Portsmouth and Columbus and the Waverly and Beaver turnpikes has been agreed upon. The documents are signed, and the railroad company is to pay the turnpike company $12,000. Everything is ready now for vigorous work along the whole line. Judge Cblraln'i Dyluff Word. Jackson (Mlai.) Daily Times. A correspondent, in whom we have confidence, writes that after Judge Chisolm was mortally wounded by the Kemper county mob, he called Mrs. Chisolm to hii bedside and said : "My precious wife, I am innocent of any crime, and when I am dead I want you to tell my children so, and train them up to know that their father never did an act for which they need to blush or feel ashamed. I have been murdered because I am a Republican, and would live a freeman." A Harrow Escape. Chicago Times. It was fortunate that there was not a steep embankment at the point near Kankakee, where a railroad train was blown from the track by the hurricane of yesterday. The train consisted of five cars, all of which were lifted off the track while in motion, and turned on their sides. A fail of a dizon or twenty feet would have produced a frightful casualty list, beyond question; but fortunately the nature of tne ground favored the passengers. No lives were lost and only half dozen psr-cos were injured, BY TELEGRAPH TO IBS OHIO STATU JOURNAL FOREIGN. The Furlong Bombardment of ' Rnstchnk Continues.

The object of the Russians in bombarding Rustchuk is to reduce the town and compel it to oapitulate and thus save a long and regular siege.

The Independence Beige says: Certain rumors which reach us from Berlin, authorize the belief that since May 16, German diplomacy has intervened at Vienna and London to strengthen again the alliance of the three Emperors and oblige England to accept the consequences of this alliance in the East. This movement is explained by a fear of seeing Napoleonic Czarism installed again in France, constituting, with Spain on one side and Austria on the other, a clerical coalition under the auspices of the Vatican, as formidable for the rights of the sovereigns as for the interests of the liberal conservatives of Central Europe. A Russian Repnlse. Constantinople, June 27.

Daniel Tur ner, long a resident of Utica, in this county, and, I believe, born near that place, committed suicide a short distance from the village yesterday morning.

The place where the deed was committed was on the bank of the creek, a short distance south of the village. He had taken on his hat, coat, vest and suspenders, the latter one of which was tied around a board of a fence on the creek bank, the other tied to that by one of the ends, and the other looped by the button-hole to the trigger of the gun. When everything had been made ready he no doubt took hold of tbe muzzle with both hands, placed it against his breast over the heart and pulled. When found be had tumbled over the bank and was in the water. Mr. Turner was about fifty years old. He leaves a wife and two obildren. Financially he was comfortably circum stanced.

Frank, L Campbell, of "Jasper county, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. , When nominations were announced for Supreme Justices, the present incumbent, Chief Justice Day, was almost unam mouslv oalled for bv the counties. .Professor Von Coeliers was nominated Superintendent of Public Instruction, The committee on Resolutions reported the following resolutions: 1. That the United btates of America is a nation, not a league; tbat by tbe combined workings of the National and State Governments, the rights of every citizen should be everywhere secured. A failure to secure them is criminal neglect. i. I be .republican party has done the work of the preservation of the Govern ment to which the nation owes its life, and the Republican party is unfinished. 3. The permanent pacification of the South, and the complete protection of all tbe citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights is a duty to which the Republican party stands sacredly pledged Tbe power to provide for tbe enforcement of the principles embodied in the reoent Constitutional amendmentsis vested by the amendments in Congress, and we declare it to be the solemn obligation of the Legislative and Executive Departments of the Government to put in immediate and vigorous exercise all their constitutional powers for removing any just causes of discontent on the part of any class, and for securing to every Americin citizen complete liberty and exact equality in the exercise of civil, political and public rights. Te this end we imperatively demand of Congress and of tbe Chief Executive a courage and fidelity to these duties which shall not falter until the results are placed beyond dispute or recall. 4. The public credit should be sacredly maintained, and all obligations of the Government honestly discharged, and that we favor the early attainment of a currency convertible with coin, and there fore advocate gradual resumption of specie payments by continuous and steady steps. 5. The silver dollar having been the legal unit of value from the foundation of the Federal Government until 1873, tbe law under which its coinage was suspended should be repealed at the earliest possible day, and silver made, with gold, the legal-tender for tbe payment of ail debts, both public and private. We also believe that the present volume of the currency should be maintained until the wants of trade and commerce demands its further contraction. The other resolutions are of a local character. At the conclusion of the reading, a resolution endorsing the President and hia policy was offered by Resly, as an amendment to the first resolution. This created an indescribable uproar, and was received with a tumult, in which were mingled vociferous protests and hisses. The chair ruled the resolution as not being germain to the subject, an amendment endorsing the policy, and saying it would secure the results asked for in the third resolution of the report of the committee,It was then offered to that resolution and with Baid result. The third resolution, as presented by the committee, was then adopted. After this all tbe rest of the resolutions of the committee were adopted. Mr, Cutis, of MahaBka, offered the following : Mesolved, That the so-called Southern policy, which has been inaugurated and pursued by the present National administration, is in accord with the principles of the Republican party. This was reached amid general tumult. Dr. Birdsley, of Des Moines county, moved it be referred to the committee on Resolutions. Mr. Merriam, of Keokuk county, moved amid great excitement, that the resolution be tabled. Adopted by about a three-fourthB vote. The committee on Resolutions, to whom had been referred amendments to resolutions, at this Btage returned with the recommendation that the amendments referred to be indefinitely postponed. The following resolutions, supplementary to the platform, were introduced, and after a debate of a few minutes, were adopted by a decided majority : Resolved, That we are in favor of a rigid enforcement of our present prohibitory liquor law, and any amendments thereto that will render its provisions more effective in the suppression of intemperance.The Convention then adjourned. An Eloquent Tribute to President Hayes. Sohenectady, N. Y., June 27. George William Curtis delivered the Chancellor's address at the Commencement of Union College to-day and at its closing made the following eloquent allusions to President Hayes : "A public spirit so lofty is not confined to other ages and distant lands. You are conscious of its stirring in your souls. Ij, calls you to courageous services and I am here to bid you obey the call. Such patriotism may be ours. Let it be our parting vow that it shall be yours. Boll-ingbroke described a patriot King in England. I can imagine a patriot President in America. I can see him indeed the choice of a party, and called to administer the Government when sectional jealousy is fiercest and party passion most inflamed. I oan imagine him seeing clearly what justice and humanity the national law and national welfare require him to do, and resolved to do it. I can imagine him patiently enduring not only the mad cry of party hate, the taunt of 'recreant' and 'traitor', of 'renegade' and 'coward', but what is harder to bear, the amazement, the doubt, the grief, the denunciation of those as sincerely devoted as he to the common welfare. I can imagine him pushing firmly on, trusting the heart, tbe intelligence the conscience of his countrymen, healing angry wounds, correcting misunderstandings, planting justice on a surer foundation, and, whether his party rise or fall, lifting his country heavenward a more perfect union, prosperity and peace. This is the spirit of patriotism that guides tbe commonwealth with the resistless splendor of the moral law, the invulnerable panoply of States, the celestial secret of a great nation, and a happy people." The honory degree of L.L. D. was conferred upon William A. Wheeler, Vice President of the United States. REUNIONS. Encampment or ike Grand Army of ll c jiepnDiic. Providence, Jane 27.

It is hinted tbat Alvarez has gone over to the enemy, but information is extremely meagre. The American residents of Acapulco are as yet undecided whether to leave the place or not. They have so far escaped serious molestation, but have announced their intention of appealing to the United States if they are subjected to insults or the hardships of civil war.

In confirmation of this a pretty story is told. It iB said that one day when the queen was in . the theater, Shakspeare mimicked royalty so well, tbat Elizabeth, who wsb always ready to have a little fun with a clever man, even though he was a poor player, whispered to her ladies that Bhe would try if she could not make this pretended monarch turn into an awkward fellow enough at a moment's notice. Accordingly at a critical point in the scene, the queen, who was sitting just over the stage, which was then held to be the place of honor, let her handketchiet drop at the feet of Shakspeare, who was just then standing close below her. Her mischievous majesty expected to see the actor Btart and redden and lose his cue. Instead of tbat be finished his speech with all bis usual power, and without seeming to notice the handkerchief. Then stooping and picking It up, he gave it back to the Queen with a bow, in which there was an indescribable mixture of dignity and homage, saying, as he did so, these words to his train of stage courtiers: ' But ere we get to horse and ride ftwny Let lis pick up our sinter's handkerchief." Tyndallon Kpontaneous Generation, Professor Tyndall closed a discourse at the Royal Institution, 8th instant, with the following positive language : I hardly think it necessary to summarize what has been brought before you. In fact, the whole discourse is but a Bumming up of eight months of incessant labor. From the beginning to the end of the inquiry there is not, as you have Been, a shadow of evidence in favor of the dootrine of spontaneous generation. There is, on tbe contrary, overwhelming evidence against it. But do not carry away with you the notion sometimes erroneously ascribed to me, that I deem spontaneous generation "impossible," or that I wish to limit the power of matter in relation to life. My views on this subject ought to be well known. But possibility is one thing and proof is another, and when in our day I seek for experimental evidence of the transformation of the non-living into the living, I am led inexorably to the conclusion that no such evidence exists, and that in the lowest, as in the highest of organized creatures, the method of nature is that life shall be the issue of antecedent life. Economy In cock roaches. Newspapers which are on the verge of dissolution may Bave themselves by economy in their cockroaches. A Russian physician of eminence in his profession, Dr. Bourganoff, has been interested in observing that among tbe peasantry of Northern Europe oockroaches are considered a rare cure for dropsy. Upon manipulating the insect with euitable chemi-chal reagents, the doctor has succeeded in extricating anew substance which be proposes to add to the resources of the pharmaceutist. We don't mean that the newspapers have the dropsy, but they can sell tbe roaches to the druggists and realize an income, besides giving wholesome employment to the hitherto idle hours of tbe office boy. The Number or Jews. The entire number of Jews In the world is variously estimated from six to fifteen millions. The approximation nearest the truth, in all probability, gives about eight or nine millions. Of this number European Russia alone has 2 277,-000; Austria, 1,250 000; Turkey, 8(10.000; Alrica, 620.000; Eastern Asia, 810,000; Germany, 500 000; tbe Netherlands, 65,-000; France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland, 200,000; India, China and Persia, 800,000; ArahiB, 200,000; United States. 600 000 Total in the countries named, 7,922,000,

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Indications for Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Stationary or lomr pressure, higher temperature, variable winds, shifting to the eoutheait, partly cloudy weather, and rain Gold closed in New York yesterday at 105. . See Mall and Telegraph items on fourth Pge. A correspondent at Newark, G., ends us a good item; but should have sent his name along as a guarantee. ' The correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer is in error when he- states that Hon. A. Denny Rodgers, the newly appointed Postmaster, is a relative of President Hayes. The Iowa .Republican Convention was held yesterday. A resolution supplemen tary to the platform adopted, and first offered as an amendment, declaring that the President's Southern policy "is in accord with the principles of the Republican party," wan laid on the table by a threefourths vote the proportion proba bly being guessed at by the reporter. This does not seem to consist with the regular report of the committee on Res olution, which was adopted, and of which a synopsis appears in the telegraphic columns. That report exhibits no marked deviation from the line of the President's policy, and if the fire-brand of direct endorsement had not been thrown in the action of the Convention might have gone to the country as an endorsement of all the President has done since his inauguration. The demand that the rights of every citi-tin should be everywhere secured ; the credit to the Republican party for the salvation of the Union; the declaration that the permanent pacification of the South and the complete protection of all citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights, is a duty to which the Republican party stands pledged; the demand for a vigorous exercise of all constitutional powers for removing juBt causes of discontent on the part of any class, and the demand for courage and fidelity on the part of the President and Congress, constitutes a definition of the President's policy with which we do not believe his earnest supporters will seriously find fault. The live principle is there; and while there is agreement on that principle, the disagreement on the means of accomplishing the end sought is something which we may hope time will overthrow. Scioto Valley Railroad. Portsmouth Tribune, 27th. 1 The route between Chillicothe and Waverly has been settled. Crossing Paint creek and the canal at Chillicothe, it comes down the west side of the canal to within four miles of Waverly. Here it crosses the canal and runs east of Waverly through the Corwin and Clough lands, and forms a junction with the Springfield, Jackson and Pomeroy road within three hundred yards of Waverly. The right of way along the Portsmouth and Columbus and the Waverly and Beaver turnpikes has been agreed upon. The documents are signed, and the railroad company is to pay the turnpike company $12,000. Everything is ready now for vigorous work along the whole line. Judge Cblraln'i Dyluff Word. Jackson (Mlai.) Daily Times. A correspondent, in whom we have confidence, writes that after Judge Chisolm was mortally wounded by the Kemper county mob, he called Mrs. Chisolm to hii bedside and said : "My precious wife, I am innocent of any crime, and when I am dead I want you to tell my children so, and train them up to know that their father never did an act for which they need to blush or feel ashamed. I have been murdered because I am a Republican, and would live a freeman." A Harrow Escape. Chicago Times. It was fortunate that there was not a steep embankment at the point near Kankakee, where a railroad train was blown from the track by the hurricane of yesterday. The train consisted of five cars, all of which were lifted off the track while in motion, and turned on their sides. A fail of a dizon or twenty feet would have produced a frightful casualty list, beyond question; but fortunately the nature of tne ground favored the passengers. No lives were lost and only half dozen psr-cos were injured, BY TELEGRAPH TO IBS OHIO STATU JOURNAL FOREIGN. The Furlong Bombardment of ' Rnstchnk Continues.

In the House of Commons this afternoon, Cowan, Kadicul reformer, , member for Newcastle-on Tyne, gave notice that he will to-morrow ask about the destruction of Rustchuk Consulate and whether it is a breach of international law. The Consuls at Bustchuk are drawing np a protest against the Russians bombarding their residences as being againBt all the principles of international law. The object of the Russians in bombarding Rustchuk is to reduce the town and compel it to oapitulate and thus save a long and regular siege. The Czar has ordered another army corps from the interior on the lower Danube. The Grand Vizier has authorized the release of the civil prisoners at Rustchuk, numbering four hundred, whose lives, owing to the bombardment, are endangered. Battle at Zewln.

No date is given to the above dispatch. Rumored German Diplomacy. Brussels, June 27. The Independence Beige says: Certain rumors which reach us from Berlin, authorize the belief that since May 16, German diplomacy has intervened at Vienna and London to strengthen again the alliance of the three Emperors and oblige England to accept the consequences of this alliance in the East. This movement is explained by a fear of seeing Napoleonic Czarism installed again in France, constituting, with Spain on one side and Austria on the other, a clerical coalition under the auspices of the Vatican, as formidable for the rights of the sovereigns as for the interests of the liberal conservatives of Central Europe. A Russian Repnlse. Constantinople, June 27.

Special to the Ohio State JmBhal. , Newark, U, June 'If. Daniel Tur ner, long a resident of Utica, in this county, and, I believe, born near that place, committed suicide a short distance from the village yesterday morning. The circumstances connected therewith are about as follows : On the day previous he! went two or three miles to the residence of a brother-in-law of his, living in the country, and borrowed a shotgun, saying at the time that he wanted it to kill equir- rels with, ihe supposition is tbat on his way home he hid the gun near the spot where he took his life. The following morning be left his house about eight o'clock, after which time he was not again seen until his dead body was found some time in tne afternoon. The place where the deed was committed was on the bank of the creek, a short distance south of the village. He had taken on his hat, coat, vest and suspenders, the latter one of which was tied around a board of a fence on the creek bank, the other tied to that by one of the ends, and the other looped by the button-hole to the trigger of the gun. When everything had been made ready he no doubt took hold of tbe muzzle with both hands, placed it against his breast over the heart and pulled. When found be had tumbled over the bank and was in the water. Mr. Turner was about fifty years old. He leaves a wife and two obildren. Financially he was comfortably circum stanced. No cause can be assigned for bis act nu leas it might have been from ill health, from which be has been a Bufferer for Borne time past. Western Associated PresB Telegrams. Fatal Bflulna; Accident.

Convention , Commotion Among the Delegate on tbe President's Southern Policy Resumption Platform and Endorsement of the Sliver Dollar. Des Motnes, Iowa, June 27.The Republican State Convention met here this morning, and after effecting a preliminary organization, took a recess. ' ' ...The Convention met again at 2 o'clock, and elected Hon. James F. Wilson Permanent Chairman, and proceeded im mediately to ballot for Governor. Hon. John H. Gear, of Burlington, received 494 votes on an informal ballot, large maioritr and a plurality ot all cast. Ua tbe first formal; ballot, he received over 500 votes, and was immediately declared nominated amidst enthusiasm., Hon. Frank, L Campbell, of "Jasper county, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. , When nominations were announced for Supreme Justices, the present incumbent, Chief Justice Day, was almost unam mouslv oalled for bv the counties. .Professor Von Coeliers was nominated Superintendent of Public Instruction, The committee on Resolutions reported the following resolutions: 1. That the United btates of America is a nation, not a league; tbat by tbe combined workings of the National and State Governments, the rights of every citizen should be everywhere secured. A failure to secure them is criminal neglect. i. I be .republican party has done the work of the preservation of the Govern ment to which the nation owes its life, and the Republican party is unfinished. 3. The permanent pacification of the South, and the complete protection of all tbe citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights is a duty to which the Republican party stands sacredly pledged Tbe power to provide for tbe enforcement of the principles embodied in the reoent Constitutional amendmentsis vested by the amendments in Congress, and we declare it to be the solemn obligation of the Legislative and Executive Departments of the Government to put in immediate and vigorous exercise all their constitutional powers for removing any just causes of discontent on the part of any class, and for securing to every Americin citizen complete liberty and exact equality in the exercise of civil, political and public rights. Te this end we imperatively demand of Congress and of tbe Chief Executive a courage and fidelity to these duties which shall not falter until the results are placed beyond dispute or recall. 4. The public credit should be sacredly maintained, and all obligations of the Government honestly discharged, and that we favor the early attainment of a currency convertible with coin, and there fore advocate gradual resumption of specie payments by continuous and steady steps. 5. The silver dollar having been the legal unit of value from the foundation of the Federal Government until 1873, tbe law under which its coinage was suspended should be repealed at the earliest possible day, and silver made, with gold, the legal-tender for tbe payment of ail debts, both public and private. We also believe that the present volume of the currency should be maintained until the wants of trade and commerce demands its further contraction. The other resolutions are of a local character. At the conclusion of the reading, a resolution endorsing the President and hia policy was offered by Resly, as an amendment to the first resolution. This created an indescribable uproar, and was received with a tumult, in which were mingled vociferous protests and hisses. The chair ruled the resolution as not being germain to the subject, an amendment endorsing the policy, and saying it would secure the results asked for in the third resolution of the report of the committee,It was then offered to that resolution and with Baid result. The third resolution, as presented by the committee, was then adopted. After this all tbe rest of the resolutions of the committee were adopted. Mr, Cutis, of MahaBka, offered the following : Mesolved, That the so-called Southern policy, which has been inaugurated and pursued by the present National administration, is in accord with the principles of the Republican party.

An Eloquent Tribute to President Hayes. Sohenectady, N. Y., June 27. George William Curtis delivered the Chancellor's address at the Commencement of Union College to-day and at its closing made the following eloquent allusions to President Hayes : "A public spirit so lofty is not confined to other ages and distant lands. You are conscious of its stirring in your souls. Ij, calls you to courageous services and I am here to bid you obey the call. Such patriotism may be ours. Let it be our parting vow that it shall be yours. Boll-ingbroke described a patriot King in England. I can imagine a patriot President in America. I can see him indeed the choice of a party, and called to administer the Government when sectional jealousy is fiercest and party passion most inflamed. I oan imagine him seeing clearly what justice and humanity the national law and national welfare require him to do, and resolved to do it. I can imagine him patiently enduring not only the mad cry of party hate, the taunt of 'recreant' and 'traitor', of 'renegade' and 'coward', but what is harder to bear, the amazement, the doubt, the grief, the denunciation of those as sincerely devoted as he to the common welfare. I can imagine him pushing firmly on, trusting the heart, tbe intelligence the conscience of his countrymen, healing angry wounds, correcting misunderstandings, planting justice on a surer foundation, and, whether his party rise or fall, lifting his country heavenward a more perfect union, prosperity and peace. This is the spirit of patriotism that guides tbe commonwealth with the resistless splendor of the moral law, the invulnerable panoply of States, the celestial secret of a great nation, and a happy people." The honory degree of L.L. D. was conferred upon William A. Wheeler, Vice President of the United States. REUNIONS. Encampment or ike Grand Army of ll c jiepnDiic. Providence, Jane 27.

In confirmation of this a pretty story is told. It iB said that one day when the queen was in . the theater, Shakspeare mimicked royalty so well, tbat Elizabeth, who wsb always ready to have a little fun with a clever man, even though he was a poor player, whispered to her ladies that Bhe would try if she could not make this pretended monarch turn into an awkward fellow enough at a moment's notice. Accordingly at a critical point in the scene, the queen, who was sitting just over the stage, which was then held to be the place of honor, let her handketchiet drop at the feet of Shakspeare, who was just then standing close below her. Her mischievous majesty expected to see the actor Btart and redden and lose his cue. Instead of tbat be finished his speech with all bis usual power, and without seeming to notice the handkerchief. Then stooping and picking It up, he gave it back to the Queen with a bow, in which there was an indescribable mixture of dignity and homage, saying, as he did so, these words to his train of stage courtiers: ' But ere we get to horse and ride ftwny Let lis pick up our sinter's handkerchief." Tyndallon Kpontaneous Generation, Professor Tyndall closed a discourse at the Royal Institution, 8th instant, with the following positive language : I hardly think it necessary to summarize what has been brought before you. In fact, the whole discourse is but a Bumming up of eight months of incessant labor. From the beginning to the end of the inquiry there is not, as you have Been, a shadow of evidence in favor of the dootrine of spontaneous generation. There is, on tbe contrary, overwhelming evidence against it. But do not carry away with you the notion sometimes erroneously ascribed to me, that I deem spontaneous generation "impossible," or that I wish to limit the power of matter in relation to life. My views on this subject ought to be well known. But possibility is one thing and proof is another, and when in our day I seek for experimental evidence of the transformation of the non-living into the living, I am led inexorably to the conclusion that no such evidence exists, and that in the lowest, as in the highest of organized creatures, the method of nature is that life shall be the issue of antecedent life. Economy In cock roaches. Newspapers which are on the verge of dissolution may Bave themselves by economy in their cockroaches. A Russian physician of eminence in his profession, Dr. Bourganoff, has been interested in observing that among tbe peasantry of Northern Europe oockroaches are considered a rare cure for dropsy. Upon manipulating the insect with euitable chemi-chal reagents, the doctor has succeeded in extricating anew substance which be proposes to add to the resources of the pharmaceutist. We don't mean that the newspapers have the dropsy, but they can sell tbe roaches to the druggists and realize an income, besides giving wholesome employment to the hitherto idle hours of tbe office boy.
