UNITED STATES. New York, Sept. 4. Samuel L. Clemens, ‘‘Mark Twain,” ar- rived yesterday, after a tour of 18 menths in Europe. CINCINNATI, Sept. 4. Mr. Jos. W. Hunt, President of the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railways, while attempting to cross a side track where the engine was shifting cars at Delphos, yesterday, was caught between the bump- ers and crushed to insensibility. He then fell to the ground and several cars ran over him, causing instant death. The de- ceased was quite prominent in railway circles. Trenton, N. J., Sept. 4. This morning a man named Jolin Toman jumped into the canal at the prison lock, in this city, with his son aged nine in his arms. ‘The man was drowned and the bo rescued. ‘Toman’s wife was found in the cellar of her house sewed up in a bag and badly cut about the throat and other in- juries which indicated that she had been choked.

THE ELECTIONS IN CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, Sept. 3, midnight. About 6000 votes have been canvassed in the city. If they can be considered indi- cative of the way matters stand in a few precincts. the Republican prospects for car- rying the city are excellent, although Kal- och is running ahead of his ticket, but ap- pears to get his eutside vote mostly from Democrats and H. B’s. Reports from the interior are too meagre to afford a basis for a conclusion as to the result. In comparing the returns with the vote on the constitu- tion the outlook is favorable to the suecess of the Republicans.

HISSING THE QUEEN. Lonpon, Sept. 4.

It is stated in Dublin that the Lord Lieut. of Ireland has requested the police authorities of Limerick to make special re- ports of the circumstances under which Charles Stewart Parnell, Member of Com- mons, at a recent Banquet suffered the his- sing which greeted the toast of ‘‘ The Queen ” to pass unnoticed, though he isa Magistrate and Member of Parliament.

The following standard resolution is sub- mitted at the farmers meetings in England,

Y}and in nine cases out of ten carried : ‘That

in the opinion of this meeting all agricul- turaland other foreign productions when imported into Great Britain should be made to bear a fair share of the taxation of the country.

A lecture delivered at the Berlin Uni- versity some three months ago by Prof, Dubois.-Reymond, bears the ominous title, “The End of our World,” and says that every movement upon our planet, with the exception of the ebb and flood, which are caused by the attraction of the moon, is oe- easioned by solar heat. As, however, the sun loses every year a portion of his caloric, science has lately come to the conclusion that he will net exist as an emitter of warmth longer than for seventeen million years tocome. During that space of time our earth will get colder and colder, in pro- portion as the solar heat shall diminish. The ice will advance from the poles to the equator; the earth’s populations will grad- ually recede before the advancing glaciers ; the sun will become less and less luminous, until he will present the appearance of a dark-red ball; and finally it will annihilate all vitality on our planet.

Tue Late Boat Race.—A cartoon, the work of Mr. E. Clare, was exhibited in the window of Mr. M. MeLeod’s stére, Char- lotte street, yesterday, and attracted great attenticn. Thesubject is taken from the late race at Halifax and represents Ross as weeping over his ‘‘dead record,” which ‘* died Sept Ist, at Halifax.” Sheriff Hard- ing, dressed in fuil canonicals, is reading the ‘‘ burial service” while two gentlemen stand by with their handkerchief closely pressed to their eyes. The lining of the peckets of one of them is turned inside out and marked ‘ Barney B.,” while at the other’s feet is a box labeled ‘‘ Dr. DeVeber —St John Medicine Chest.” The ‘‘record”’ is in a “‘shell” draped with black cloth. In one corner of the of the back-ground is re- presented a baloon soaring heavenward, with on it the inscription, “‘St. John—$30,- 000,” while on the other is the following epitaph, surrounded bya black border; ‘In memory of Pompey who died Sept Ist, 1879, leaving many friends to mourn his loss.” The idea is excellently carried out, and the artist is to be congratulated upon the success which has attended his effort. Photographs of the cartoon are being nade = will be offered for sale ina few days. — Neirs,
