Tho Palatka Herald of the 11th instant
«ays: “Under the cover of a dark night in
the year 1836 a barge, moored at Volusia,
loaded with provisions for the army, was
taken by Indians. Various parties were sent
out on the river in pursuit, but all efforts
failed to discover the whereabouts of the
stolen property. At that time the naviga
tion of the Ockiawaha river was unknown.
Very few had any knowledge of the exist
ence of this wild, meandering water-course.
The strangest part of the matter has
been lately developed by the discovery of
a sunken barge beneath the beautiful
waters of Apopka Lake, in the heart of
Orange county. + gentleman living on the
Apopka informed us a few days since that
the oldest inhabitants of tliat part of the
country have no knowledge of the naviga
tion of such a craft, and the only solution of
the matter is found in the supposed fact that
the Indians in 1836 carried th 8 barge from
Volusia down to the Ockiawaha, from which
point they poled the boat up to Lake Eustis,
and by some channel (unknown to the pres
ent generation) make their way into the big
Apopka lake. This lake is sixty miles in
circumference. Islands gem its placid waters,
and it is said that the lands skirting its
shores are fertile, producing fine crops of
sugar cane, cotton, corn, and all tho variety
of Southern aud tropical productions. We
learn that a three-mile cut or canal made
from Lake Dor into the Apopka, would unite
the waters of Lakes Eustis and Apopka, ex
tending the navigation of the Ockiawaha
intolhe very heart of Orange county, and it
would not be surprising to us to hear of the
discovery of the channel by which the In
dians of 1836 navigated their stolen barge
from Volusia to the waters of the Apopka. ’

[Special Correspondence «.f the Morning News.]
Paris. I^c. mber, 25,1872.
The country commences to be like a
little heaven below since the Deputies
have taken their vacation. They have
confidence in M. Thiers for a fortnight at
least, as they deoiined to appoint a Vigil
ance Committee to keep an eye on his
proceeding* during their absence. Every
thing political remains in statu quo. This
week the Government has been flirting
with the Monarchists; next week the
Republicans can cc nnt upon a few smiles.
Last month M. Thiers in his message ac
knowledged the legality of the Republic
and the necessity for establishing it.
When a div sion took place on the matter
the united Monarchists voted to a man
against it. They were beaten, and the
country somewhat cursed them as perinr-
bators of the public peace. It was the Re
publican parly thus saved M. Thiers,
who recognized them as the true majority.
When the Republicans propose the di-
solution of the Assembly, in order to en
able the nation to secure repose and a
working government, the Ministry op
poses. and calls npon the Monarchists to
aid it, a support cheerfully given, as it
postpones the definite settlement of any
thing. The Monarchists—their new allies,
the Imperialists, included— are thus this
week tho Conservative party, the true
friends of the Republic.
The celebra ed Commisnion ot Thirty,
entrusted to drait a constitution that will
please all chases of politicians, is indus
triously laboring to know wbere'it ought
to begin. Not a moment can be found to
make an exhaustive examination ot the
budget; the deficit continues and expenses
increase. A reward ought to be offered
by the Euglish and French Governments
to discover what has become of their com
mercial treaty. Pity French drAUiatis'jj
have no taste tor financial Vau de Villes.
There is no evidence that the country is
going into hysterics about the petition
movement. The people are latigued with
elections, programmes, and protests. All
is hollow in politics, and if there ba any
sincerity, it is useless, because unaccom
panied with courage. Even the members
of the Reformed Church, who were in
vited on Sunday last to subscribe their
name* as electors, if thirty years old and
two years a householder, for the manage
ment of their ecclesiastical affairs, showed
no great avidi'y for such a privilege. The
old Catbohes are as difiicult to discover
as the Lost Tribes, and ex Father Uya-
cinthe is as much lorgottenas if be never
existed.
For science win'er commenced fonr
days ago, bnt for the poor it has existed
since two months. In the general insta
bility that exifte, the only things certain
are the ram and demands for Now Year's
gifts alike by those who know you and
those who do not. The inundation ap
pears to have a “dying fall” of late. What
a pity tbv calamity did not arise two
vears ago when the Prussians hibernate i
around the capital. There ia plenty of
water still where it is not required. The
Moniteur newspaper continues to print
and pump at the same time ; in other
quarters noatiDg accommodation in the
streets has been discontinued “till fur
ther notice.’* Curious enough not a fi e
has taken place during the prevalence of
the flood. It is but fair to add, ra^oy at
tribute this eXfmpti 'H to tho new “sala
mander helmets” cf the firemen. A re
ligion* journal authoritatively asserts the
chronic down-pour ba* been sent to wash
away all the blood that haR been recently
shed ; another insists that it is a punish
ment, a s->rt of reh^rsal of one of. the cir
cles of Dante’s Inferno, wh*re the rain is
“eternal, carsed, cold and heavy, equally
failing and ever the same.” Though pain
ful, it was pictureeque J^view moonlight
on the waters; the houses, partly im
mersed, had the air of large ships at an
chor, the lamps in the upper windows
doing duty as m-ist-head lights ; the wa
ter gurgled aDd mounted in at doors and
out at windows ; yet in tbe*e amphibious
dwellings the apartments still free were
occupied bv tecants, who it not merry,
eat and drank and smoked all tlje same.
The arrival of M. Thiers to pas* the va
cation in Paris is a proof that the city is
inhabitable.and that important or nervous
persons may now venture to pitch their
Tents also iu the capital of the universe
A good many balls are spoken of, wherein
official life will take the lead. There is
nothing to disturb the President^ forty
winks except the demand made upon h.m
by the Republican journal* to be sincere,
logical and courageous in his policy. It
is wonderful what an amount of trnfh is
to be met with in the abased Radical
newspapers, which also warn M. Thiers to
beware of the praises cf the Bonaparti*t
^ It is amusing to note the periodic wrig
gles of the Du^ de Gramont, ex-Foreten
Secretary, to justify his assertion at the
time of the declaration of war against
Raesla-, that France had allies The
Duke quotas a dispatch that Austria would
make common cause with France, but de
clines to establish the authenticity of the
document General Finery, then Ambas
sador at St. Petersburg at the opemng of
the war, announced to Napoleon that “the
Prussian alliance was made;” which was
quite irne as events proved, only it w; iS
made with Prussia. The Prince Biesc<\ a
Moldavim-Bon apart is t, who f ccht

book just published, that the “Sedan fun

where On the 7th of Angnst, 1870,
he ordered General Donay to throw one
division into Strasbourg if be con.d and
cover Belfort with the olher two. Of
these assomed three divisions, only one
really existed; the second was in coarse
of formation, and the third was on paper.
Not a frontier fortress was either provis

^ The midnight masres on Christmas
Eve are as usual well attended, and
crowds of worshippers, generally of the
humbler classes, partook of the Cam in n-
nien. Many strangers were present to
hear the music. The French are grad
ually dropping into the habit of observ
ing Christmas as a fete; workshops re
main closed and work enjoys its half-
holiday. The Eve has ever been ob
served as a festive night, dedicated to an
acnnal supper party, where relatives
principally are invited, and estrange
ments brought to an end. 1 he snppt r is

' is never deserted forever by the Go'd

luxury, gaiety, and fetes; amusing Eurepe 1
as ot old, and dictating her laws for ele- 1
ganee and taste. It is only neeessary to
glance at tier shop wiudows for the proof,
aud to p*89 into any of the business
streets to se« piles of patiyag cases fall
of lancy goods for evers^uarter of the

she leads the dance to drive doll care

The medical students are generally re
garded a* Mot er Carey’s chickens in
Paris; they hare eloquently protested
against the intolerance of a few magistrates
who struck their professor, Rohm, off the
iiwt of jurors on account of his scientific
writings, which had nothing to do with
his civic rights. Ia France, at ali events,
science and tLe Jtfgy are turning thrir
tacks upon one another like Lit and

si para'ed patriarchs by avoiding strife.
Toe agitation for the appointment of
special army chaplains, as in the navy, is
waxing warm; the project is said would
“lead to discord and hypocrisy,” would
develop more atheistical and materialistic

“troopers” would still claim to be free
thinkers on swearing matters. The soldiers
in the.meantime, are more occupied with
their new shako, which, if it cannot be
“knocked into a cooked hat,” can at all
events betaken to pieces aid put together

Pacific Railroads.
Tbe Pac fio Railroad business, with its
Credit Mobilier complications, has cer
tainly been ran into th* gro_ond by the
political magnates at Washington and
elsewhere. In their haste to become rich
the proprietors of those great enterprises
did not hesitete to pot their hands deeply
into the pockets of the tax-payers, nor to
use the meaus famished by public benefi
cence to corrupt oar public servants. The
advantages of a Pacific Railway north of
the thirty-second parallel were never suf
ficient to .warrant tho enormous expendi
tures which such a work involved, eepe-
<*ally iu view of tbe engineering and cli
matic difficulties presented.
But for the war, and tbe financial de
moralization consequent thereon, these
Northern ro :ds would never serioosly have
engaged the attention of capitalists, and
certainly would not have obtained such
immense subsidies in land and money as
a partisan Congre-s, familiar with mon
ster jobs, so readily granted. The land
grants made for the benefit of these rail
road companies dwarf into insignificance
some of the older Slates and make fearful
inroads on onr public domain, as it
existed when the war commenced, while,
in the way cf bond*, no leas a sum than
$64,623,512 has already been expended.
TJie interest on these bonds was to have
been met by the companies for whose ben
efit they issued, but thus far the Govern
ment, whose credit was so freely lent, has
been obliged to provide therefor out of
the public- revenue*. The amount thus
paid stood, on Deoember 31st, 1872, at
$16,570, 575, which ie, however, subject
to a dedacnon of abont four millions for
trau.-portatioc of matin, etc. This is not
a very good showing so far as the Govern
ment aud tax-paying people generally are
concerned, but it may suit tbe gentry who
in the Credit Mobiler affair polluted the
▼erv fountains of law, and made mer
chandise of the funds and lands cooly ex
torted from the public for their specific
benefit.
The Texas Pacific Railroad has an in
finity of advantages over aDy of the
Northern roads. These are so obvious,
and have so often been described that it
is not necessary here to restate them.
Bat the true Pacific Railroad of the futnre
will run from New Orleans via San An
tonio to either Guaymas or Mazate&n, on
the Gulf of California. It will be at least
five hundred miles shorter than tbe short
est of tbe other Paoifio roads, and will
pass through a rich and eminently pro
ductive country from one end to the
other.—# 0. Times.
The Route to Texas.
City Hotel. New Orleans, ' \
Ja nary 10, 1873. )
EtlUor Morning Xews :
As many of your readers are proj-.^ng
to emigrate to Texas, and thus s»elitbe
immense tide which daily passes through
this city, I propose to tell them how to
do 60 to the best advantage. If they
come by way of Montgomery and Ale bile,
and over the Mobile, New OrleaLS and
Texas Railroad tu this city, and hence by
Rad river steamers to Shreveport, Jeffer-
sou and points in Eastern and Northern
Texas, they wiil save at least half the ex
pense by any other route north of this.
They will also save the annojances inci
dent to staging by night, and numerous
changes incident to other lines.
By the read through Mobile, they come
here by the swiiteet, finest and best rail
road iu tbe Sou:b, and are landed at rhe
wharf of tbe Red r: -er stiamers. They
and baggnge are promptly transit rr< d tu
the boat*, several of which leave here
daily tor those pint*, Red river being in
splendid navigable condition. Th 1 price
ot first class cabin passage- to Shreveport
and Jefferson averages less tha'rtw^nty
dollars, deck tickets less than five, ihas
causing a total saving of time, trouble aud
half the expense of any other route.
Passengers having tickets by the 4 Mo
bile, New Orleans and Texas Railroad, via
Gaiveston, have their persons aud bag
gage transferred promptly, and make the
transit without deten-ion. Within a yer.r
this line will be fiuished to Houston aud
Shreveport, and in its equipments und
perfect construction ihe enure line v.ili
be the best road m the South. Col. Ls-
thain, the President, is active, enterpris
ing, and without any display, is quickly
doit g what other men only promise but
oever falfil, hetio6 his indivi Jnr.l em rg}
is boildiug for this city an enterprise
which the entire money and legislative
interests of this section have failed to do.
To those of your readers who come
here, let me tell them to slop at the City
Hotel, where they will always find
a large number of persons bound to
anil from Texa*, and learn from thf-m all
the information they may desire. Mukt
excellent reasons why they should slop at
this house are furaished iu the following
notice, clipped from the Mobile . Tribune
correspondence:
“Travel is increasing daily to and through
this city, and, a* nsual, the larg“ bulk
goes to tho City Hotel. The poi^i'artty cf
this famous old house continues unabat d,
and certainly it is more iuviting D au
yiy other resort of the kind iu New Or
leans. During the past summer it was
complete^’ renovdod, and now has the
best and most delighiful rooms for ladies
and families' use, as transient guests, that
can be found in this city. . Wh.-n Col.
Morre, its generous proprietor, returned
from Earope, ho found that the otber
first-class hotels here hid raised their
price to four dollars and a half a day, bat
he refused to enfer into the combination.
Having been the first to reduce the rates
of first-class accommodatiens, he contin
ues to charge three dollars a day, and
gives as good fare and accomraodatioas as
those of aav other firit-class hotel in the
South. Tne St. James is open for lodg
ers only, aud furnishes fine rooms at tne
lowest possible rate by the day, we» k and
mouth. Par*on* who like this method o'
living bes\ will find the St. James lees
expansive and more comfortable than any
other boose of tbe kind.”
The Credit Mobilier.
For the information of oar numerous
readers who never unders.ood, or have
forgotten precisely what the Credit Mo-
bilier is, we c.-py the following explana
tory sketch from the New York Herald:
Tho simple history of th* afftir that las
created so much exoitemenl is soon told
While the Union Pacific Itoad wa* under
construction, a “riLg” was formed inside
the dirtctioo, embracing, as such a com
bination always does, the shrewdest, most
active and least scrupulous of tbe board,
for tbe purpose of making large fortunes
for its members in an illegitimate man
ner, at ♦he cost of tbe road end of tbe uu-
Rasp®c(icg stoektioid jrs. As usnal, th*
object was to be achieved by means of
construction contracts. Throagh the
votes of the “ring” the work was to be*
awarded in a lump to Home dnmmy con
tractor, at a price double, or more than
double tbe cost, with a fair profit added;
for as a great many capaciouj appetite*
had to be satisfied, an ample margin was
necessary.
The contractor was then to make
over the contract to the “ring” directors,
in their capacity of stockholders of tbe
Credit Mobilier, the pretence being that
the Credit Mobilier had the menus to
push the work vigorously forward, and
would-be better able to do so than any
single individual. In pursuance of this
conspiracy—for it was nothing else—the
oontract for the construction of a lurgrj
portion of the road at fifty thousand dol
lars a mile, was awarded and duly as
signed to the “ring”—a price which, ac
cording to Dr. Dorant’s statement, was
more tnan double tho legitimate cost of
the work. This, however, was not
enough. By the votes of the conspira
tors many miles of road which Lad al
ready been constructed and accepted by
the United States Gover’.ment as com
plete, aud which had nearly ail been
paid for by the Union Pacific Company,
were included in the connect at $50,000
a mile, and thus an enormous amount of
money was takeo bodily, os it were, out
of the pockets of tho stockholders, with
out a shadow of justification, and trans
ferred to th« greedy grasp of the ring.
The shares of the Credit Mobilier were
thus made at once worth from eight to
ten times their face value—that is to ssy,
a single thousand dollar share was worth
from $8,000 to $10,000 in cash. Armed
with this capital, the members of Congress
who were iu the ring set abont “satisfy
ing” their aisopiates in Washington of th"
great virtues and benefits of the Credit
Mobilier, of the admiraole r.nd honest
management of the affairs of the Union :
Pacific Railroad Company, and (4 the j
propriety and patriotism of frowning dowo i
all attempts to interfere with lU great J
work by petty enquiries and annoying in- |
vestigations— of the wisdom, iu short, ol j
allowing it to continue a close corporator, j
soiled up from tbe eye* of all except tin? I
conspirators and their allies. Of course, j
no “improper inducements” w. re c ffered j
to Senators and Representatives to bring
them over to this way of thinking. The
offer of a money bribe wonld, uo doabt,
have been indignantly spurned as a vul
gar and dangerous proceeding.
A “purebusiness transaction” took plaoe
betwten the lobbyists of the Credit Mo-
bilier ring and the speculative members.
Tbe latter simply purchased a few shares
each in the Credit Mobilier, and “ptrid
their money ’ for them—at par, of course.
Some of them were too punctilious even
to do this; bat they had wives and broth
ers, and sons and sons-in-law who had no
objection to such ventures, and who en
tered into them without reserve. Lucky
dogs! They found their one thousand
dollar shares worth tea thousand dollars
in cash, if they desired to sell them back
again, and brimmiog over with heavy
dividends if they concluded to hold them
in their possession. What wonder that a
corporation so signally successful sh-.uld
be regarded by ihese fortunate Senator^
and Representatives as deserving every
encouragement and protection that Con
gress could give it, and that both the
Credit Mobilier and the Union Pac fic
Railroad should have found warm friends
at Washington always watchful of their
interests and jealous of their privilege*!

A GERMAN EXECUTION.
A Borgia Brheadrd in tbe Presence
of 20,000 People.
Although tbe 3d of December last was
a bitter cold day, from tbe earliest hour
in tbe morning vast crows of people filled
the streets of the litUe city of Stade, on
tne bank of tbe Elbe river, Dearlv oppo
site the gre*t N »rth German senport of
Hamburg. By 9 o’clock at least 20.000
people had arrived in Slade, and the po
lice had the almost difficulty in keeping
order in the surging multitude. The oc
casion which had caused all them thon-
-anc 8 to flock to Staoe wag the bt-h. ading
of a woman, refined, attractive and inte'-
ligent
l’he nime < f the doom'd woman vas
Wilhelmina Woftman, and the career of
this extraordinary woman, almost from
her earliest yoote, bad b***n marked uy
>u uncontrollable and wicked temp r.
When Lt school she b id knocked out the
••ye ot i her young companions. A
few years after she became tbe governess
of the cci dreu of a wealthy landed pro
prietor, who had fallen ia love with her
and madti h^r his mistress. Her lover’s
wile having discovered the laison, the girl
poisoned tne woman; and there is sus
picion that she also caused the death of
h^r own child. She buried herself there
upon for a time in the whirl of a fa-hio' a-
ble dissipation in Hamburg, where her
extraordinary beauty attracted numerous
admirers. Bur, becoming very reckless,
the police expelled her from the city, a id
she wrnt to Brunswick, wh^re an officer
of the Ducal army fell in love with and
eventaaMy married her. She returned his
devotion by pois -ning him. She ntxt
turned up in Hanover, where she became
cquainted with n merchant named Wacfl
ier, who married her. Wilhelmina r«-
vcLg-d her»eif npon the opposing parents
by poisoning them. The cholera raged
at the time, and in consfquonce, it re-
mirined h **-crei for years. W^chter soon
afterward became a bankrupt, und de
serted his wife, who went to Stade and
married a widower ram*d Whitman, who
!:ad two children. These a'so btcami
tba victims of tho murderous passions ol
their atep-mothcr, and then her criminal
career was brengnt to a close. She was
arrt-sted, her uabeo- deots closely exam-
iu*d into, au 1 h r victims exhumed. Her
trial took placa at Slade on the 21 of Oc
tober, arid the result was that the was
convicted aud sentenced to de th.
Pastor Decker made, on the morning
of the day on whioh she was to be exe
cuted, a determined effort to move her
6tony heart. The woman was fastened
to tne wall by a chain ten feet long,
which was attached to her left wrist.
Alter listening to the reverend gentleman
for two or three minutes, she made asnd-
deu attack on him, compelling him t<»
beat a b.tsty retreat. Iteiffenberg, tbe
executioner, sainted his victim respect
fully, and informed her who he was.
“What do you want of rue?” she said to
the headsman, fixing her large, lustre as
eyes inquiringly upon him * “I want to
prepare you for the scaffold,” he answered#
“Oh,” *he *-nid car-lessly, “I ara pre
pared.” “Not quite,” he rejoined. Jle
then nnchained uer hand and began to
cut off her Lair. Then he threw a heavy
fur cape over her shoulders, aud the
toilet for the ecaffold was complete. H*
thereupon left her cell, and the nrxt
visitor was the warden ot tbe prison, who
a.skt.d her if she wished anyOting. “Orly
a glass of water,” she said, dryly. It wa^
then about ba'f-past one, and her ! .st
a;i m‘ ut rapidly drawing nigh. Teu
minutes alt.5rr.a1d tho judge and clerk of
the criminal court appeared before h*r,
and the death-warrant was read to her a
as' time. Tbe pre-tiding judge urged her
in feeling word-, to confess her crim-s,
nil make her peace with her God. She
responded by shaking her head impatient?

man and hi* assistant* took her to the
Hcaifold. When she appeared in the open
air the biting col l caused her to shiv ir;
but *he bor* the giance of the th m^auds
of eyes, w ! ich the multitude rivetupon
her. without flinching.
The scaffold was acoir*e, wooden struc
ture, about eight teet in diameter. Wil-
heimiea Woltmnn ascended it with n firm
step, and walked to the fatal block in its
middle without betraying uny n* rvo is-
nt.-s. Too warden of the prison asked
her if she had anything to say. “No,
no!” she aus >ere(’, angrily. “Make haste!
M^kehiHte!” The uext moment two as
sistants of thj oxe utiouer causrd her to
kneel in front of tue block. They took
the lnr cape from her shoulder*, *nd
pressed her head npon the top of the
bl >ck, to wnich they fastened it by means
of a leatLo r strap, tihe shook couvuisi va-
ly for a moment or two, until tho execu
tioner, who had meanwnile taken his
flashing axe from a sort of scabbard, hasti
ly Kt< pptd up to her. He took his posi
tion at tho left side of the block, lifted op
his ax, and struck heavily up jn the be*u-
tiful white neck of the woman. He had
done his W' rk well, for the head fell down
in front of the block, while tbe trunk
raised itself convulsively, a stream of dark
red blood spouting in the air. The heads
man and his assistants sprang to one tide
of tbe scaffold in order not to be stained
by tbe blood of tbe murderess.
The United Slates Army—Its Strength
aud Location of Troops.
Toe work of recruiting for the army is
steadily going on, recruiting offices being
located in all the important citiea of the
country, and thus the armv will be kept
up to its foil standard of 30,000 men, the
number authorized by the late law of
Congress. The number of commissioned
officers now on the rolls of tfie War De
partment is something over 2,100, the re
duction having been entirely completed.
The army now consists of five batteries
of artillery, tin regiments of cavalry,
twenty-five regiments of infantry and one
battaliqn of engineers. These troops are
s ationod as follow-. : Tbe engineer bat
talion st W'llett’s Point and West Point,

PERSONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE

Funny Funeral Scenes.
A dispatch from Honolulu, Dje»-nti er

The Kiug was a thrifty man, and had
accnmnlated large meaus for tbe-*e isl
and*. He had a sheep-run of 150,000
acres upon Molokai, upon which grazed
30,000 head of sheep. His ina. ma was
about $60,000 per annum, and fie b«ld
fialf a million of crown and government
lands The quarter of these meaus will
amply suslaiu a new and efficient repub
lican government. A great mujority of
the foreign population detire to *et aside
our paltry, expensive, tbu|uh interesting
royalty, and the only difficulty will be
to persuade the native population to ac
quiesce in the change.
The Kauakoa, or rather a portion of
them, are now howling over their dead
chief, although I mnst say that less feel
ing ha* been shown at the death of Ka-
mefiam*..ha V, than on the demise of any
previous chief. Stili th*re are enough to
keep up the barbarous satarnalia around
the palacn, which amuses foreigners so
much. This lime tfee hideous fuuereal
fandango was fabooed strictly to tbe for
eign population. A strong guard en
closed the palace, aud tried to keep the
heathen eatnroalia from critical foreign
eyes, but enterprise aud a btrong curios
ity managed to outwit tb6 valiant Kanaka
guard.
Within the palace court were to be seen
more than one thousand dark contortion
ists, minstrels and professional waiters,
who made night hideous. It was a lovely
moonlight, and the graceful tamarind,
algeroba and mango trees made beantilnl
siihoLettes on the clear sky. The crowds
wt-ro interspersed nmong the groves. A
hundred half-uuk«d women gyrated with
tbtir snpp.e, shining bodies, aad swung
in the air tattooted calabashes that rat
tled in with pebblrs inside. Another
crowd moved in mock fights. Some re
cited, not the exploits of war or peace,
but the lascivious prowess cf tbe late mon
arch. This is the special burden of the
minstrels —to laud, the physical develop
ment and erotic power of majesty.
Christianity, with all its beneficient in
fluences id tfif-se lauds, has never been
able to check ibe filthy and riotous mys
teries c-uacted over dead kings. It is
curious that such intelligent men as the
Kamebamehas really were should have
consented to the perpetration of such
abominab e native superstitions. Kame-

Text of the Latest Papal Allocation.
New York, January 16 —A translation
of the fail text of the latest Papal allocu
tion appears to-day in the Catholic Review.
The Pope asserts tha‘ the sovereign rights
of bis secular princedom have been at
tacked, clerics torn lrom their altars to
do military duty, bishops deuied the priv
ilege of teaching youths, and their semi
naries closed, and*a!l because it is tbe
wish and aim of the persecutors cf the
Pontificate to obliterate the Catholic
Cbur3h, and the very nam» of^Jhrist him
self. After detailing further alleged out
rages, the docament proceeds to state
that “Even now there has been proposed
in the Legislative Chamber, as they call
it, a law not wholly dissimilar from that
which, nota lthstanriicg onr pretests and
solemn condemnation, has already been
put intoext ^ntior. i n other parts of Italy;
whioh mu* c^iiu^uitii even here in th«
centre of Catholic faith, the religious con
gregations, and confiscate the goods of
the church and offer them at public auc
tion.” Tho persecutions in Germany,
SwiizerUnd and Spaiu are alluded to.
Iif reference to Germany it sets forth
that, adding calumny and derision to the
agony, the rulers of that country do not
hetitate to attribute their cruel persecu
tion to the faalts of tbe Catholics, Tor
that these prelates aud the priesthood
refuse to prefer the laws and will of
the civil Empire to tbe holy laws of
God and the Church. “Tho civil author
ities of *ome of the Cantons of the Swiss
Repnblic,” the Holy Father goes on
to *ay, “have entered on the same path
as the German Empire, and not less grave
is what the Church suffers in Catholic
Spain from the hands of the civil powers.
There a law concerning the endowment
of the clergy hks been proposed and rati
fied, which is calculated to increase tbe
destitntion and servitude of the clergy.
Sadder things are also to be told of that
small bat impudent band of Armenians,
who, especially at Constantinople, have
endeavored by audacious fraud and vio
lence to overwhelm the much greater
number .who remain faithful in their doty
and faith.”
In conclution, the Pops reviews the
situation. “Tho Lord,” he ssya, “has
truly amittep qs, venerable brotbors, with
His Nword hand, great and strong; but let
as endeavor to| appease the divine anger
iu this acceptable time of the advent of
our Lord.”
The Columbus Index reports the follow
ing: “What can you do, auntie? ‘Oh, a-
inost anything’ (with just a toneh of scorn
at the familiarity of tb« ‘white trash’). *1
suppose your little girl can do enough to
pay her board ? Of cour*e I could not
teed her for nothing.’ Ou this the ap
plicant looked horrified at the bare idea
of such a thing, and as if Rhe wanted 10
call for aue de cologne to keep fiom faint
ing; but she revived, and exclaimed in
dignantly: ‘No, indeed, madam, she can’t
work. I’se ewine to send my danghter
to fchool. She most make her livin’ by
her edication. I see plenty ^hite folks
making der living by edication, and dey
don’t work; and dat’a de way I’m gwiDe
to raise my daughter. I’m fraid we can’t
make a trade.’ And with a ‘come on, pet,’
she took the hand of her bonnie bairn
f 110 avoirdapoi*) and swept out ol the
room with all the style of Miss Flora Mc-
Flimsey.”
One of the r. suits of the late storms iu
Europe was tbat great numbers of sar

"Editorial from the hacen. Ga., Telegraph and Mes
senger, of January 12. 1878.
▲ Remarkable Core.
Our readers will peruse with the deepest inter
est the aceompanying card of Mr. R. W. White,
of this city, relating to his wonderful relief from
Diabetes, that terrlbls malady which usually de
fies all human skill.
»o thoroughly impregnated with saccharine
matter wsre the urinary deposits of the sick man,
that when subjected to evaporation, candy had
actual!r been the residuum. Most of his living
had been spent unavaUingly for medical advice
aud treatment, and death seemed inevitable.
Uni in the hands of his eminent practitioner, his
restoration has been rap'd and complete, aud
now he appears on ihe stand to tell the story o
his unexpected resurrection almost from the very
jaws of the grave.
Dr Jones is daily performing other wonderful
cures, and his fame is drawing to him patients
even from the neighboring States. Yesterday be
performed delicate and successful operations
upon two ladies for cross eyes and cataract, one
of whom had ceme from South Carolina to con
sult him. In diseases of the ear, too, he is
equally skillful, and inserts artificial drums or
tympanums, when tbat organ has been destroyed
by concussions or otherwise. These are very cu
riously and delicately framed of India rubber.
The public wiil be glad to learn that his distin
guished physician has consented to remain a f-w
days longer at his quarters at the Brown House.
The sick «nd suffering would do well to lay their
cases befors him without delay. While there la
life there is hope.
Rrmarkablk asp Grxat Cuur or Diabktzs—
(fccoAR I« TH* UJURR)—by Dr. J. A. Jonrs —For
nearly three years I was sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabetes—sugar In the urine—
dnrlog which time my sufferings language coaid
not descirbe. My disease was contracted in bep-
tember, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in
the employ of Col. Edmund Harrison, in Mont
gomery, Ala., who knows cf my case well. I was
treated by a.l the best phjsicians of the principal
Southern cit.es, and nearly ail of them gave up
my case as incurable, after treating me for weeks
or months. I also tried the mountain air of Bir-
Rtlngham, Ala , and tried bitters and all kinds of
patent m»dleiaea. Nothing reached my dissase.
or touched the root of it, or changed my urine!
which was white, and soon after beiug voided In
the tun crysUllzed into sugar. I had to gst up
every half hour duriag the night to drink and
void water. Everything I ate and drank turned
Into sugary urine; and thus, by ouncss, I was
wasted and rsdnoed from a strong, healthy, stont
man of 1T0 pounds, toaskslstou of 69 pounds.
Forty-eight hours after I oommenoed Dr. Jenea'
tr **tment my urine changed to a natural color
with the natural odor, and in a few days my pains
aad ills all Jsft me, and I feel as wsil as I ever did
in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural
and regular bowels, and am gaining my former
activity and strength daily, but my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bad effocta of the mnr-
cory, iron, arsenic, etc , given me before I saw
Dr. Jonas. I have not taken over so ounce ef
medicine from Dr. Jones, and ii was pleasant to
take, and he never changed his remedy, and gave
me but one small bottle of that, hut it went to the
very spot, and I and x^y wife both aaw that I was
cured, and I both felt and aaw it after the first
twenty-four hours' use of Dr. Jones' medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great
physician, for my abroad was prepared and at my
bedside, and my disene was proneunced incura
ble by so many pbyeieiana, some of them stating
that no person had ever been cured of diabetes.

near What one of the Ablest Physicians in Alabama
says of Dr. Jones' Treatment—Oteena Cured.
I have been suffering lor five years with oseena
(sn effenslve disorder of the nose) of tke worst
form, having in that time trie! ail the remedies
spoken of in the medical books, acd nsed In the
common prsctioe, and grew worse under them all
the time, until the dreadful diaeaae impaired my
whole system, produced sevsre neuralgia, general
debility, and disfigured my nose, and destroyed
my sense of smell. In this condition I placed
myself under the pro:es«ional care of Dr. J A.
Jones, at the Battle House, and I have been rap^
idly improving from tbe first day. I eonaider hit
specific treatment the direct means of saving my
life; it la more than a fortune to me. I cheerfully
recommend Dr. Jones to the afflicted.
