I — r I i — Cljc $aifg €tltgrag|. St nose-it inked but SK.NBiBLE.-Tbe strong- minded women of Germany, numbering 130, recently held a convention at Leipsic, to con- rider tbe evils under which the sex labor in that country, and to devise remedies. Afcw got excited, but tbe majority entered into the discussion with coolness and ability. A pret ty frauUin suggested that the best remedy would be a wholesale female emigration to America. Bull's Stomach Tolciieu.—Charivari has a picture of John Bull, the national carica ture, a fat, bloated lellow, with knee breeches and gaiters, a flaming handkerchief around his neck, and a large bunch of watch-seals. Young France ia condoling with liis neighbor on the Fenians. “Really,” he says, “you ialtf the thing too much to heart.” “Oh,!’ replied John Bull, “it is not my heart, but my stom ach, that is disturbed. I should not so much mind the Fenians, hut this epidemic is play ing the ducc with our roast beef.” Authars of the Apostle’s .Creed, [ ' C The precise origin of this simplest and most ancient of all the creeds is involved in some uncertainty, and has long been n matter of some dispute among learned theologians. It is at least certain that its universal use in the church may be traced back, it not to the Apostolic age itself, yet to that immediately succeeding; and there is a very old tradition that each of the twelve articles of the creed was composed by an Apostolic author. It is said that the twelve assembled in council be fore dispersing themselves to preach the gos pel throughout the world, to frame the sym bol or watchword of the Christian church; . i: "ill he interesting to many of our readers to know the Apostle to whom each article is ascribed. The tradition is as fol low*: -*—- - 1 3t Peter—“I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven anti earth.” St. Simon—“And in Jesus Christ his only 8on our Lori” ' St James, the Great—“Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.®' St. John—“Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried.” St. Thomas—“He descended into hell,” (or, “He went to the place of departed spirits,” which are considered as words of the same meaning;) “the third day he rose from the dead.” St James, the Less—“He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty.” , - r r~. y St Philip—“From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.” St Bartholomew—“I believe in the Holy Ghost.” St. Matthew—“The Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints.” St Simon—“The Forgiveness of Sins.” St. Judas Thacldeus—“The Resurrection of the Body.” St Mathias—“And the Life everlasting.— Amen.” Crop Statistics fojTi8G5.—The Agricul tural Department at, Washington famishes the lollowing summary .of the crops of the “loval” States for 1805, compared with 1864 : 18C5. 1864. 148,522,829 .160,695,823 19,543,906 19,872,975 11,391,236 10,632,178 225,252,29a 176,590,064 704,427,853 530,581,403 18,331,019: 18,700,540 101,032,005 96,256,888 Wheat, bushels*' Rye, “ Burley, ‘ Oats, * 1 Corn, * Buckwheat, * Potatos, 1 Total bushels, 1,228,501,282 1,018.229,871 Hay, tons, 23,538,740 is;il6,751 Tobacco, pounds, 185,316,953 197,409,229 The wheat crop of 1885 is very deficient in quality. The August report estimated the deficiency in quantity and quality at'20,241,- 898 bushels. The above table places the de crease in quantity alone at 12,172,944 bush els. The quality of the com crop never was surpassed. That of the other crops is be lieved to be ah average. The number of bushels in 1865 exceeds those of 1864 by 215,071,411. ;-g*~Mrs_ Lincoln,says tire Chicago Tribune, “since the decease of her husband, has made alter permanent abotle in Chicago, living in great retirement, and devoting herself to the education of her youngest son. Her eldest son, Robert, is completing Iris studies In the l.iv. oilice of Scamnron, McCagg A Fuller. The other, so well known to all the frequent ers of the White House liy the familiar name of‘Tad’—a bright, fun-loving boy—is attend ing one of our public schools.” Recognizing the Character of t ,rE SnENANDOAU.—An impression prevails that our government, by accepting the steamer Shenandoah from the British authorities, ad mits its character as a Confederate cruiser, and thus relieves England of responsibility. If the vessel is a pirate, as Americans have urged, her crew should be tried in England, and the vessel should be disposed of by tbe English courts.—Boston Traveler.* m. The Slave Trade not Extinct.—The principal item of late CnhajfenirwTk! relates .to the landing on the island oi another cargo of slaves from Africa, an event of a ■ kind for merly very common, bnt recently quite rare. The number of negros composing the cargo is variously estimated - all the way from 100 to 800. The landing was effected on the northwestern portion of the island, on the plantation of a very wealthy man named Francisco Martinez Torrens. Some of the Africans, it is said, were seized by the au thorities, but afterward given up to the tra ders. « •'* -'c- -- ’ •*«- ■ '> < *' Scarcely Pos8iBLE.-The fact that General Butler, attended by his military secretary is in Washington, and that he is preparing to -zet up a permanent household establishment, gives renewed foree to the rhinbr that he is erv shortly to assume the charge of the War department rice Mr. Stanton. Mrs. Partington's Last.—Mis. Parting ton says that Ike, having become very much enameled of a syren of Boston, has led her to the menial altar. He didn’t appear the least decomposed. On the back or his wedding ■'cards were little cubebs with wings. iisTrpjfr's Record:—The JUssis¥rpf?fl Record!—The State of Miss issippi, with a whitc population not exceed ing 350,000, had sixty-threo regiments in the late war, which numbered about 73,000 com- Of these— Died of disease - - - - - - 15,500 Killed and died of wounds - - 12.000 Discharged, resigned and retired-19,000 Deserted or dropped .... 11,000 lurilRr - - - - i50' Transftred to other commands - 1,500 Total loss from all causes- - - 59,350 BdNMPaibcQiuifedfoz - • - - 18,750 Thus it appears that more than one person in five was in the service.

The giant's physical strengtli is at present unknown. He can lift six hundred weight, and is daily growing more powerful. Reunion in Churcil—We extract the fol lowing from the Washington correspondence of the Baltimore Commercial: Religion lends her aid among us, too, and sheds over the elements of social and politi cal restoration her sclcctest influence. A sin- gle exemplification of this I maybe at liberty to mention, without an unwarrantable free dom with tbe names of gentlemen, or any purpose of parading them in the columns of a newspaper. At the Church of the Epipha ny, in. the solemn services of yesterday, at the evening prayer, in preparing for the admin istration of the holy communion on Sunday next, there were seen, within a few feet of each other, Gen. Longstreet and our Gens. Nichols and Haskins, listening to the serious and earnest admonitions of the rector, and reverently'knceling and joining in the snp- dieations of the congregation that they might lave grace to go with duo preparation o minds and hearts to that holy table. “GXirr."—An exchange gives the follow- 1 ng “hunter's story”: It is said the country between Louisville and Nashville is perfectly alive with wild ligeons. The yeomen of Kentucky and Ten nessee are reaping rich harvests from the in numerable roosts along the line of the rail road. We learn that one night last week the ligeons thronged upon the Green river bridge n such weighty .numbers that the safety of that structure was imperiled. Mast is so abundant near the Tennessee border that the Nimroclsin this section fear that they will be denied the privilege of welcoming the pig eons to their hospitable stew pans and grid dles. .. . , ... . , WHOLE SALE . LARGE ARRIVAL OF NEW GOODS American Cotton Seed in China.—Some months ago Mr. Hanliury announced, through the local papers, that he had obtained some American cotton seed, and that he would distribute specimens of it to those who might wish to experiment on its growth. A por tion of this seed wasplanted by Mr. Voucher in his garden. The result is a patch of cotton far superior to any China cotton. Tlie cli mate has agreed with it, and the plants are ‘in as flourishing a condition as though they had never been removed from tlieir native M. , Destitution in Missiissppi.—The Mem phis Commercial of the' 19th says: We yesterday met with a large planter of high position, from the prairies of Eastern ‘Mississippi, who has just returned from a visit to Illinois to purchase com for himself and neighbors. In conversation, lie stated that the destitution in that section of country, which lias hitherto been one of the greatest granaries of the world, is very general. He attributes tlie scarcity to the fact that the freedmen ale demoralized, and cannot be in- dneed to perform enough work to furnish a upply of food for themselves. TnE Bishop of Nashville.—Bishop Fee- han recently consecrated bishop of Nashville, accompanied by Archbishop Kendrick, of St. Louis, bishop Dongan, of Chicago, and the Very Rev. Father Kelley, formal administrator of this diocese, arrived at Nashville on the 17th, and were received at the depot by a dep utation from the St. Mary's Orphan Associa tion, and several members of the Congregation. A public reception took place on Sunday Coolie Ekigration.—Ad vices from India speak of the coolie emigration as increasing. According to one authority, the number leav- ing lndia is estimated at 10,OOOJpcr annum. At last accounts no less than six French ships, had been chartered to take coolies to Havana, and still another for Tariti. Heretofore the desti nation ofthis class oi laborers lias been chiefly the British West India Islands, whether they are conveyed in accordance with request from the governors of colonies. Destruction of American Whalers.— A-New Bedford paper gives a list of forty-six American whaling vessels, with ten thousand two hundred and fifty-two barrels of nil de stroyed by Confederatecniisers duringthelate war. The value of the vessels is estimated at one million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the value of the oil at half a mil lion dollars. A Warning.—The Lord Mayor of London has received a letter which contains the fol lowing : I hope you 'will read this and remember the danger yon stand in. Yon are never safe now. Any day the papers may be fullof yoiir death, like that of President Lincoln. Many a better man than you lias had to die suddenly. May the Lord'have mercy upon your poor soul.
