The Centennial anniversary of the birth of Robert Ein Mett by the Catholic Irish of Montreal fortunately passed by without any disturbance. Both the Orange Young Bri tons concert at the mechanics Hall and the Emmett Celebration at the theatre Koyal were attended by immense crowds which dispersed quietly though it is said a few shots were fired by rowdies on the Way Home just for bravado. The police had made ample preparations to suppress a riot. _ i or another Way for dishonest officials to Coin Money has been developed by the genial climate of the Pacific coast. A Virginia City despatch says chief of police Broen held in the sum of for liberating a chinese murderer and permitting the substitution of another Man has been released the real murderer having been recaptured and fully identified. The equanimity with which the statement is made of the release of the official who committed such a gros3 dereliction of duty is rather surprising even when we consider where the scene of the occurrence is Laid. the ancient lesbos which rumours say is about to be taken Possession of by the British government for the establishment of a naval station is an Island of Turkey in Asia in the Aegean sea about 33 Miles Long by 26 Broad. It has two Good harbours port Lero and port Caloni. Its chief town Kastro occupies Cha site of the ancient Mytilene. The wines of lesbos were amongst the most highly celebrated by Tho ancients but they Are no longer in such repute. Corn Oil figs and other fruits Cotton Timber pitch Honey etc., Are its chief products in modern times. Taking a Leaf out of the Book of United states history Captain general Jovelia has determined As a War measure to emancipate All slaves hold by the insurgents in Cuba and so to anticipate the operation in their Case of Tho present Law providing for the gradual emancipation of All negroes held in servility. Tho sweeping character of the proclamation authorized by the Home government recently mentioned in our Tele Grams is shown by its text now received As follows article slaves of both sexes who were in Tho lines of the insurgents on Tho tenth Day of february will to free if they present themselves to Tho legitimate authorities or government troops before the last Day of March. Article owners of these per sons have no right to indemnity if they took part in the insurrection themselves directly or indirectly. Article former owners of those Freedman who remained faithful to the Spanish government will receive indemnity in Tho manner which Tho Law of gradual abolition prescribes. Article local authorities will fur Nish papers of free to those former slaves included in article i., giving direct and detailed accounts to the Heads of their respective departments. Tick damage by recent storms and floods has been very disastrous in Kentucky and California. Details of the Tornado which visited Tho neighbourhood of the former state show that it was an appalling visitation. In the Village of mount Olive several houses were swept away and the remainder otherwise injured. Fences were blown away along the whole course of the Post rail Fence being drawn up and torn into splinters and utterly destroyed. Large Trees were twisted from their roots and carried hundreds of Yards. A consider Able number of horses cattle and other Stock and nearly All the poultry in the course of the Tornado were killed. In the Sacramento and san Joachim valleys Cali fornia the loss of property from the flood has been enormous. Between Sacramento and Monroeville there Are about 250 Breaks in the levees. Or. Glenn a Large Farmer in Colusa county lost head of sheep and acres of wheat by the flood. The main wheat lands of Colusa county Are five Miles from the River and Are Safe. About 10 cent of the wheat crop of that county is ruined and about the same amount dam. Aged. The loss Between Sacramento and Monroeville in levees buildings Stock and crops will reach besides a decrease in the value of property in some localities. The earliest suggestion of the Locombo Early As 1759, or. Llo Binson who was at one time a graduate of the University of Glasgow and an applicant for an assist ant professorship there and who had made Tho acquaintance of the instrument maker James Watt when visiting the workshop called Tho attention of the latter who was probably More ignorant of the principles of the steam engine than was the Young Stu Dent to the possibility of constructing a car i Ige to to driven by steam thus perhaps setting in operation that train of thoughtful Experiment which finally earned for Watt his splendid Fame. Watt a very Early period proposed to apply his engine to locomotion ind contemplated using either a non condensing engine or an air surface con denser. He actually included the locomotive engine in his Patent in 1784, and his assistant Murdoch in the same year made n working Model locomotive which was Capa ble of running at a rapid rate. This Model now deposited in Tho Patent museum at South Kensington. London had a flue boiler and a Grasshopper engine. Its steam Cylinder was three quarters of an Inch in diameter and had two inches stroke of Pis ton. The driving wheels were nine and a inches in diameter.
