NEw YoRK, Dec. 24.-The Italian full rigged bark Francesco Donovara, which reached this port yesterday, after a two months' trip, was the scene at midnight ou Dec. 4 of a desperate attempt at muti- ny, in which four sailors were killed, The vessel quitted Savona, Italy, on Oct 26, with fifteen men on board, urder the command of Capt. Stephano ‘gen‘ando. She had no cargo, but was under orders to come to this city for a cargo. The voyage was uneventful until the night of Dec. 4. Then two Spanish sailors who had been shipped five months before at Manila mutinied and attempted to mur- der the officers and all the crew and then abandon the ship. These Saniards were young men, and were known as Pedro Gregorio Arene and Antonio Aredundo. , At midnight, when the vessel was near the Azores, the first mate, John Vinletti, who was on watch, struck the bell for a change of watch, Almost instantly Pe- dro Gregorio Arene, appeared on deck, and quickly approaching the mate, who was standing on the starboard side, near the cabin, without a word of warning aimed a blow at his breast with a long keen-bladed knife. 'The knife struck a tib, and glanced off, and Vinletti, escap- ing, ran forward to the forecastle and down the port side, crying \ Murder!\ at the top of his voice. He was chased by the Spaniard around the cabin, but he sprang down the hatchway before the Spaniard reached him. In the mean time, Antonio Aredundo, acting upon the midnight signal, had made an attack upon the crew, who were sleeping in the- forecastle. He drove a stiletto into the body of the cook, Sebas- tian Aquarome, and when the boatswain, Antonio Marchassa, awakened by the groans of the cook, was about to get out of bed, Aredundo drove a knife into his skull, fatally wounding him. The rest of the crew hurried out of the forecastle, and some of them sprang up the rigging. Antonio joined his fellow mutineer on deck, and both, armed with dirk knives, chased up and down the deck. The cabin boy. Eduardo Arrato, who was sleeping in the cabin on deck, arous- ed by the cries of the men, came ont, and as he stepped from the door he was met by Aredundo, who stabbed him in the right.sige. The boy grasped the knife as it was raised for a second thrust, and al- though in the struggle his hands were badly cut, he wrested the knife from the Spaniard. Then the boy ran into the cabin, where the Captain, the mate and one of the crew were. The Captain, who is said to have been cool and collected all through the excitement, armed himself, and went out on deck to encounter the Spaniards. Hemet them alone, and they made a rush at him. A shot was fired, it is not yet known by whom, but it is supposed by the Captain. It killed Arene, and another shot mortally wounded Are- dundo. The Captain ordered Aredundo to be taken to the forecastle, where his wound was examined and dressed, and every effort was made to save his life, When Aredundo found that he was going to dis, he said that he was willing to make a confession. He confessedthat he and his countrymen believed that the Captain had with him the money to buy a cargo in New York, and that they con- spired to kill all on board at midnight on Dec. 4, when they were nearest to their native place, Manila, and rob the Captain and crew of what money they had.- Then they-expected to put off in a small boat and reach Manila, leaving the aban- doned vessel with its murdered crew to be driven by the winds and waves. Are- dundo died the next day, and the boat- swain two Hays later. ... A Milan paper states that Iram Crim- risson, a famous dancer and beauty, has recently died in England, in extreme poverty, She was passionately attached to Charles III, Duke of Parma, and two days before he was assassinated revealed to him the plot against his life; for this he had made her director of Police. NE UTR AL. SANDY HILL, WASHINGTON COUNTY, N. Y., DECEMBER 31, 1879.— Terror=Stricken Passengers. BALTIMORE, Dec. 25.-A riot took place attended with bloodshed on the train which left Camden station on the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad at 11:15 on Wed- nesday night. A few minutesbefore the departure of the train a party of eight men boarded it. They had been drink- ing. An inoffensive colored man was seated in the car which they entered,and they drove him from the train, and would not permit him to enter it again. The train started immediately after this, and had gone but two squares, when they discov- ered in one of the first cars another color- ed man, who, to escape a threatened beating, ran into the ladies' car, closely followed by the men. A gentleman in the car saw the colored man's danger, and closed the door be- tween him and his pursuers, bolting it, and preventing them from entering. On the arriving of the train at Mount Winans the men effected an entrance by breaking the glass in the car door and drawing the bolt. On entering the car they assailed the passengers right and left, making an in- discriminate attack upon all, unmindful of the frightened shrieks of the ladies and children. They then drew pistols and fired in every direction, regardless of consequen- ces. The greatest consternation follow- ed among the passengers, and many were prevented with the greatest difficulty from thrownig themselves off the train while it was in motion, the stop at Win-, ans having been a brief one. The train men were unable to render any assistance, and all efforts to expel the rioters from the train before they arrived at their destination-the Relay House-were in vain. On arriving at that point they quitted the train. A gentleman was severely cut in the fice by a stick of wood Cremation In Alaska. The Rev. Sheldon Jackson, of this city, Synodical missionary of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Montana, recently made a visit to Alaska, and while there saw many interesting things. He saw in a garden owned by Mr. Davidson, of Fort Wrangle, a white sheet stretched between two poles, looking as if it might be intended for a scarcrow. Upon in- quiry he found that it contained the ashes of a boy who had been drowned the week before. The boy's friends had promised the Rev Mr. Young that the body should have a Christian bruial, but during Saturday night they took the body up the beach, and early on Sabbath morning burned it. Several large, dry sticks were laid side by side upon the beach. Upon these were placed the body of the boy. Other sticks were piled over the body, and the whole set on fire, amid the wails and in- cantations of hired mourners. In about an hour the body was consumed. After the fire had cooled, the ashes were care- fully gathered up and placed in a basket, untill a suitable box could be carved for their permanent preservation. When all was ready, an old Indian woman, bowed down with age and infirmaties, took up the basket and started for a pin- free. She was followed by the mourn- er and friends with bowed heads and loud cries of sorrow. At the base of the tree two poles, about eight feet high, were driven into the ground, two feet apart. The basket containing the ashes was tied between these poles, and a muslin bag, like a large pillow slip, pulled down over the poles and basket, and closed at the bottom. On the outside of the sheet is sometimes painted a face, through which the spirit of the departed is supposed to look out upon the bay. Morning and evenings the parents of the boy come out from their hut, and hurled at him, and a colored woman|turning their faces to the north, utter from Ellicott City was shot in the back. A number of the passengers were injur-| for two months. ed. A passenger on the train recognized several of the rioters, which may lead to cries of distress.

But if cannot rest. She is only thirty-eight conducted properly the first of the gods years old, yet she looks to be fifty. Her her husband is as much in the fault as she is, if he could only be brought to see it. He begins in the morning by keep- ing breakfast waiting till every possible thing is done outside, no matter how long she must wait, working over the hot stove to keep things just as he likes them. Next, he must have every boy and girl on the place helping him to get ready for his day's work; meanwhile the housework stands still while mamma cares for baby. He is very particular to request tiat dinner should be ready at twelve o'clock, when he knows that he never gets ready for it before one. And so it goes,.

Under no con- sideration will the farmer quit the work before sundown, and that brings the milking and most of the \ chores\ after dark. Of course supper waits. After that late, unwholesome hour, the farmer sits awhile, tired and sleepy, and conse- quently stupid, and by the time tea things are washed and put away he is ready to retire. Now, the poor woman takes up her nightly task, and works out the hours which should be spent in sleep.

NEw YoRK, Dec. 24.-The long-prom- issed exhibition of Edison's electric lamp took place -at Melno park to-night. A Daily Press reporter, who was present, inter viewed Mr. Edison, who said he was sat- isfied the invention was a perfect success, Only four out-door lamps were in opera- tion, but the electric burners to the num- tber of 28 were distributed in a dozen ”muses. and the new light was pronounc- ed a perfect suceédss. There were not more than three hundred people at the Park to witness the illumination, as Edi- son and his associates had kept the mat- ter as quiet as possible, and no invitations had been sent out. It was demonstrated that the light of each burner was fully equal to that produced by an ordinary gas jet in a street lamp or dwelling.- Only two electric generators were in use to supply twenty-cight burners. The third generator was nearly completed and in readiness for operation. The dis- plays will continue nightly at Melno.- The gas stockholders of New York are not alarmed, and view Edison's invention as a novelty rather than an article that will supersede gas for general lighting purposes.-Press & Knickerbocker. 75 CEnts Per YrKin. NO. 6. Hormet Houston's Beath. Three years ago an old man, who said his name was Patrick Houston, hired a room in the attic of the rear building at 801 Mulberry street. There he lived alone with a cat, barely supporting himself by making picture frames. His poverty would not have excited remark, but he became the object of gossip in the neigh- borhood owing to the calls that were made on him by well-dressed women, who were evidently relatives. It was finally ascertained that one was his daugh- ter, who wished him to live with her, while a son, who was a rich grocer in Bridgeport, Conn., was willing to sup- port him. But the old man preferred independence with his cat, and yester. terday, when his daughter invited him to eat his Christmas dinner with her, he curtly refused. A few hours later dense smoke was seen to issue from the her- mit's room. A neighbor burst open the door, and found the old man lying un- conscious on the floor, while the cat was curled dead in the corner. His pipe had fallen from the old man's mouth when he was asleep, and caused the rags and rubish on the floor to sinoulder. Three engines and a hook and ladder company responded to the alarin of fire, and four ambulances came. In Bellevue Hospital, late last night, the old man died from the effects of the suffocation. -- -f- # Gm c A Bad Story. NEw York, Dec. 56.-On Christmas eve. Jas. Smith was arrested for breaking a glass in the window of James Flem- ming's pluniber shop, No. 26 West twen- ty-seventh street, and stealing $12 worth of materiah Yesterday he was brought into the Jefferson Market police court, where Justice Flainmer beld him in $1,- 000 bail for trial. Before being taken in- to the prison he told a very pitiful story, saying that he lived in a garret at No. 172 Mulberry street, where his consump- tive wife and infant child were in a starving condition. He had attempted to obtain work and failed. He had stolen food for his wife and child. The magis- trate directed Officer MeSally, of the court squad, to call at 172 Mulberry st., and see if the story was true. The offi- cer called there this morning, and found that the wife was ina dying condition, and neither she nor the child had eaten anything for thirty-six hours. \20 pl o -g - Becca Muslins. The Decca muslins of India are ameng the most wonderful evidences of the handskill of the strange people of the mysterious East. These fabrics, which are spun and woven entirely by hand, and are the product of obscure and cu- rious processes, unknown to and un- attainable by the Western nations, like the fabrications of Damascus steel and the making of camel's hair shawls; are marvels of ingenuity and skill, and they illustrate the poetry of cotton. The most delicate of these fabrics is known by the name of \woven air.\ It can only be made in the early morning and in the evenings, when the air is full of moisture and the dew is on the grass. The processes by which it is woven are kept secret, and people who do the work are compelled first to pass through a long course of training and initiation. Their delicate wares are of such ethereal texture as to be almost invisible, and yet so enduring thst they will bear washing and wear in a wonderful manner. This precious stuff is monopolized for the use of the ladies of the oriental harems, and is said to be worth hundreds of dollars per yard. > ---«ip~- @ --4z- Grant's Arabian Horses.
