A Louisville Episcopal clergyman
recently read from his pulpit a ser
mon preached by Bishop Cummins
when a minister in the church from
which he has since seceded. The
sermon was a very strong one in de
fense of the Episcopal Church, and it
was read by the Lmiisville clergyman
as an antidote to a sermon lately de
livered by the now Reformed Bishop
Cummins in a Presbyterian Church
in that city.
Irish tradition and belief locate the
grave of St. Patrick in a churchyard
at Downpatrick, County Down, close
to a Roman Cathedral. The adjacent
old and new graves are generally
well kept, but the spot regarded as
covering the remains of Ireland’s
patron saint is entirely neglected.
There is no monument or other sign
of commemoration, an unsightly pile
of stones and bricks covering the
place.
The Georgia State geologist reports
that he is generally taken for a reve
nue detective, and finds that charac
ter somewhat uncomfortable, but the
moment he discloses his real object
“every fellow comes back with his
pocket full of rocks, and wants to
know ‘if that’s what I want.’ I met
one man who thought he had lead,
petroleum, and silver, all on about
one hundred acres. The State is ex
ceedingly rich, but every farmdosn’t
hold a fortune.”
M. Orelie de Tonneins, the French
lawyer, who claims to be King of
Araucanta and Patagonia, was re
cently arrested by the Argentine
Government while returning from
France, where he had been endeavor
ing to negotiate a loan. The depu
ties representing she Department of
theDordogue in the French Assem
bly have protested against this arrest
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Argentine Republic, which
claims jurisdiction over Patagonia,
considers M. de Tonneins as a usur
per.
The Rev. Dr. Tiffany, Grant’s blar
neyist in Washington, has becomeso
imbued with worship of the White
House that architecture pervades his
preaching. Speaking of the Young
Men’s Christian Association, he said,
“The pillars of the building have
arisen, ahd it is a delightful thought
that the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation has thrown a girdle of works
around them, that the Evangelical
Alliance has hound them with a rim
of thought, and that many can live
to see the dome of Christian unity
arise upon the beautiful structure.”
At Ballarat, in Australia, recently,
a nugget of gold weighing lloz.lpwt.
was picked up in Marcarthur street
by a poor working man. The discov
ery was rather singular. lie was
wearing a pair of almost soleless
hoots, and, while walking along the
street, felt a hard substance pressing
against the bottom of his foot. Look
ing down to ascertain if the cause
was a sharp-pointed stone, he saw the
point of the nugget sticking out of
the ground, and soon unearthed it.
The Rev. Brooke Lambert, Vicar
of Tam worth, in England, read a pa
per the other day on cremation be
fore the Tam worth Natural History
Society. Adverting first to the relig
ious question, lie said that St. Paul’s
argument in I. Cor., xv., was direct
ly opposed to the resurrection of the
actual particles of the body to a sim
ilar form. He rested his main argu
ment on the report of 1849 to Parlia
ment as to the sanitary evils arising
from graveyards. London and Paris
doctors agreed that actual disease of
the throat, low fever, and diarrhoea
were caused by the emanations from
such places. He pointed out that ex
tramural interments only adjourned
the evil. He finally argued that de
composition was a far more dishonor
able fact than cremation.

There was in this town the Repub
lican, which measured the length of
the Democratic party, chose a roman
tic site for a grave on a breezy hill
side sloping to the west, dug deep
and square, and neatly trimmed the
sides of the pit, and then requested
the corpse to step in and lie down,
and, lo! to-day the corpse is sifting
on the stomach of the recumbent Re
publican, squeezing the wind out of
it, and pounding its placid counte
nance out of recognition.— St. Louis

According to a Pittsburg newspa
der, the gray squirrels in the Alleg
heny Valley are engaged in a gener
al migration. They draw their re
cruits from all points, and may be
seen swimming the river in large
numbers, and pursuing an eastern
course. Old farmers say that such a
migration has not taken place since
184 G, and regard it as the forerunner
of an extremely severe winter.
The Mohammedans of Constanti
nople, in a pamphlet called ‘‘Asa’s
Cry of Anguish,” complain that their
religion is likely to be overrun by
English, Dutch and Russian “bar
barians.” The claim is put forth
that Mohammedanism represents all
of science and culture that Asia pos
sesses, and Asiatics are besought to
combine and resist the invaders.
Swearing has never been really
reduced to a fine art in Wisconsin un
til recently, when an artesian well
borer discovered that some scoundrel
had dropped a big piece of steel down
into the bore, fitting it so exactly
that three weeks have been devoted
to a fruitless endeavor to get it out.
George Francis Train has given a !
number of town lots in Omaha* em
bracing about four hundred acres, to
that city as a public park, on condi
tion that the city assume certain
mortgages and taxes now due. The
indebtedness is about $90,000, while
the property is valued at five times
that amount. Mr. Train made his
offer to the City Council in a charac
teristic letter from hew York. One
of the conditions is that there shall
be no vote of thanks or monumental
compliments. He says he does not
want to do any death-bed advertising
like Astor, Peabody and others, hut
follows the example of Lick, of San
Francisco. He considers property in
these Communistic times as unsafe to
hold, and wishes to hedge against
the coming storm by twisting out ol
the minds of the community the idea
that he is rich. He says the corpora
tion lands and monopolistic reserva
tions will soon be returned to the
people. Repudiation is painted all
over our financial horizon. Startling
changes, wiping out church govern
ment, society and marriage, are not
far off, &c. His proposition will be
considered soon by the City Council.
Ansil Comstock is starving in
Adrian, Michigan. He is an old
man, and during ten years he has
been blind. A month ago he lell ill,
and every effort to retain food in his
stomach lias been unsuccessful. So
little nourishment does his system
receive that he is slowly starving to
death. One day, after all hope of a
change for the better had gone, he
tried to kill himself. He pulled the
bandages off his head, and, holding
them under the bedcloths so that his
attendants could not see what he was
doing, he tore the cloth into strips
and made a noose. Then he sent
them out of the room on a false er
rand, and while they were gone he
fastened the noose around his neck,
tied the other end of the strip to the
bed-post, and rolled out on the floor.
The fall was heard and he was res
cued badly choked. Later the usual
symptoms of insanity from starvation
have set in, and he can live only a
few days longer.
A convention of young men’s Cath
olic association will be held in Ne
wark, New Jersey, next February,
for the purpose of forming a national
union. In that gathering a division
of opinion, and possibly a more de
cided rupture, will be likely to come
out of the subject of Fei.ianism. The
majority of Catholic priests opposed
the last futile efforts of the Fenians’,
and disfavor all projects of Irish na
tionality. Most young Irishmen
dislike this course of their clergy. In
the Newark Convention, we are told
there will be an effort to commit the
Young Men’s Catholic National
Union to the cause of freedom for
Ireland. Strong opposition will in
such a case, he made by the priests,
extending, if necessary, to the official
cutting off of the associations from
the recognition of the Church. The
priests are right. Politics aud relig
ion make a bad mixture.
The trial and condemnation of
Phillip Desclee, brother of the late
talented actress of theGymnase, Par
is, placed the accused in rather an
unenviable light. Desclee was
brought up by the Jesuits, and dur
ing the war served as a Papal Zouave
under the Charettee. Afterward he
joined the Commune, and then an
association of Knights of the Sacred
Heart, which was to relieve the poor
and render great service to the cause
of the order. Desclee pleaded pover
ty as an excuse for joining the Com
mune, and on being told that noth
ing prevented him from applying to
his sister, replied that his religious
principles forbade him to accept char
ity from an actress. However, it
seems that this devout soul abandon
ed his wife after five months’ mar
riage.
Gov. Bagley of Michigan is more
rhetorical in his Thanksgiving proc
lamation, and expresses a much wi
der range of sentiment. Here it is;
it will be found worth reading :
“In compliance with the custom
established by the reference of our
father, and sanctioned by the grati
tude of their children, I invite the
people of this State to observe Thurs
day, the 26th day of November, as a
day of thanksgiving and praise. The
generous response of the earth to our
daily needs again reminds us of that
old yet new illustrated truth that to
every “Oh ! my Father” there comes
a “Here, my child. “While wo re
joice in the evidences of a divine
fatherhood let us remember when
gathering together on tiiat day in our
places of public worship, or at our
firgsides, that honest thanksgiving
and praise find their true expression
in a charity of thonght it and deed, one
to another, which gives promise and
proof of the diviue brotherhood of
man.” , ___
General Butler in the Neg
ative.—Gen. Butler was interview
ed by a New Y'ork Herald special
plenipotentiary recently, and got out
of him about four hundred “noes” in
response to a few modest questions.
Among the results of the interview
may be mentioned the following:
Vice President Wilson did not say
that the defeat of the Republican
party in Massachusetts was attribu
table to Butler; nor is Butler going
to he a candidate for the United
States Senate, nor for Governor of
Massachusetts, and the President has
not tendered him the Russian miss
| ion. He is not going to Europe for
j the benefit of his health, for his health
is good; he is not forming anew po
litical party, and he is not writing a
letter for publication on the demor
alization of the Republican party.
Mr. Butler wound up by giving his
inquisitive friend a lengthy political
sum by which lie was enabled to de
monstrate that the State was not lost
to the Republicans through Butler
ism.
A man of wealth and consequence
living near St. Paul, Minnesota, late
ly received an addition to the statu
esque ornaments of his parlor. Eleven
years ago his first wife died and was
buried in some out-of-the-way corner
in Minnesota. Lately he resolved to
have the remains disinterred and
placed in the family lot near St. Paul.
The workmen found instead of crum
bling bones a perfectly petrified hu
man form in the grave. It was as
solid as a rock and as heavy as lead,
and the man when he received it
could not see the necessity of bury
ing it at all. He has set up the statue
of his first wife. His second wife was
aw ay at the time,and at last accounts.
It will depend very much upon her
action in the matter whether there is
a funeral or whether that statue
stands around in her way.
The very hearty and general abuse
of the Commercial by all the organs
of Feltonism and Radicalism, is sat
isfactory evidence that its efforts in
behalf of the organized and true De
mocracy have been successful. In
their abuse they are honest —but in
all else they are deceitful and false.—
Rome Commercial.
WAKED UP THROUGH BOTH HEMIS
PHERES.
The Troy Whig relates the follow
ing:
“We have heard much of the won
ders of cable telegraphy in outrun
ning time and annihilating space,but
an anecdote related to uslastevening
by Mr. W.P.Phillips, assistant agent,
of the State Associated Press in New
York, who is on a visit to this city,
surpasses anything we have ever
heard. A gentleman of the Western
Union Telegraph office, at No. 145
Broadway, New York, was sitting
in the cable-room when a telegram
from Philadelphia,destined for Paris,
came over the wires. This message,
like ail others for France, was to go
over the cable via Duxbury, Massa
chusetts. The operator called Dux
hury, a few times and then said:
“That fellow is asleep evidently; but
the cable men are always awake —I’ll
have to get one of them to go in and
wake him up. So he stepped to
another desk, called Plaister Cove, in
Newfoundland, and 9ent the follow
ing message:
“ To Cable Operator, Duxbury :
Please go in and wake up my own
true love.” This message Plaister
Cove hastened to send across the
ocean to Valencia, Ireland, who in
turn rushed it to London ; thence it
was hurried to Paris,and still onward
to the European end of the French
cable at St. Pierre; the operator there
flashing it back to Duxbury. In less
than two minutes by the clock the
message had accomplished its jour
ney of some 8,000 miles, by land and
sea, as was evidenced by the clicking
of the instrument on the Duxbury
desk, which ticked out in a manner a
tittle more petulant: “That is a nice
way to do; go ahead. Your own true
love.”
DARTMOUTH BOYS OFF FOR EGYPT.
The Khedive of Egypt, who has
shown his appreciation of Americans
by appointing one to command his
army, and several others in subord
inate positions, has picked out three
of the Dartmouth medical students,
Chas F. Brown, Frank A. Colby, and
Charles W. Dustin,to superintend the
surgeon corps of his army. They start
for Egypt early in December, only a
few weeks after graduation, and ex
pect to reach Cairo, their headquar
ters, in about six weeks. They are
to serve on the Khedive’s staff and
act immediately under his orders.
They are exceptionally able men,and
are very sanguine of success in their
venture. Mr. Brown is to have a sal
ary of $6,000 in gold, with the pay
ment of expenses to Egypt and back,
and will rank as colonel. He is a na
tive of New York State, and a grad
uate of Union College. He practiced
law for two years, but abandoning
this profession he travelled in Egypt
for some time, and having studied
medicine in Berlin and Vienna, re
turned to this country. He was for a
time editor oh a paper in Jamestown,
N. Y. Colby takes the rank of lieu
tenant colonel, and receives a salary
of $3,500 in gold, with his expenses
paid. He is a Lancaster man, but
graduated at Colby University, in
Maine, and was once associate editor
of the Bangor (Me.) Whig. He will
live permanently iu Egypt. Dustin
will rank as Major, and have a salary
of $2,500, gold, expenses paid. He
is a Vermonter, and never saw a lo
comotive until he went to Dartmouth
College. The residence of Brown and
Dustin in Egypt is to be only tempo
rary.—Springfield Republican.
Jeif. Davis for Presidont in 1876.
[From the Washington Chronicle.]
As strangely as the above caption
may strike the ears of loyal people,
it is by no means impossible of reali
zation. The constitution provides
that in case no candidate shall receive
a majority of all the electoral votes,
the House of Representatives shall
proceed to elect one from the three
candidates having received the lar
gest number. In such an election
the members will vote by States, each
State being entitled to one vote.
Hence a majority of the Representa
tives from each State will be able to
cast its vote for President and Vice-
President. Of the States which have
elected Representatives in the Forty -
fourth Congress, it is claimed by our
opponents that nineteen are Demo
cratic, with a possibility of securing
still others. Nineteen, however, is a
majority of all the States in the
Union. Being sure of the House, the
Democratic leaders may deem it pru
dent to endeavor to prevent an elec
tion by the people, and run two Dem
ocratic candidates, one in the Soutli
and one in the North. In that con
tingency Jefferson Davis might prove
to be their most available Southern
candidate. In the absence of the ex
ecution of the Enforcement law he
could carry every SouthernStateof the
Union. Should the electoral votes of
a few States of the No. th and West
be cast for some other Democratic
candidate, and the residue, being
less than half of all, be cast for a Re
publican candidate, the election
would go to the House, where the
vote, as we said, would be cast by
States, and of course for one or the
other of the Democratic candidates,
and by party courtesy and in fairness
should be given to the one whom a
majority of said Democratic Con
gressional delegations might prefer,
and this would unquestionably he
Mr. Davis in preference to any man
that could he named in the North,
because the controlling majority of
said delegations would, in the contin
gency we have supposed, be from the
Soutli.
Such a proposition would not, as
some may suppose, shock the North
ern Democratic sense of propriety.
It would be difficult to assign any
reason for rejecting Mr. Davis which
would not apply to nearly every
other Democrat of the country, ex
cept that his political disabilities have
not been removed, and that he par
ticipated personaliy in the war of the
rebellion; and even Republicans
could not, aud Democrats would not,
insist upon the latter objection as a
valid obstruction, because that has
been yielded iu the constitutional
amendments, in the statutes, and by
the practice of two Republican ad
ministrations; and Democrats could
not be expected to regard the former
as insurperable, for Mr. Davis did
nothing in the recent war which the
great leaders of the Democratic party
of the North have not insisted all
along lie aud his associates had the
constitutional right to do. We are,
therefore,, uuable to perceive any suf
ficient reason which a Democrat could
assign for refusing to vote for Mr.
Davis for the Chief Executive office.
The newspapers indicate that more
men are trying to live by their wits
than ean do it honestly. They recite
countless and varied incidents of
petty swindling. Up the Hudson a
man goes into houses with a woful
tale of sudden poverty, and asks for
a loan on a gold ring. He would
not permanently part with it on any
account, as it is a hallowed keepsake,
and he only wants a dollar until he
can return and redeem it. He has
thus disposed of hundreds of brass
rings at a big profit. An operator in
Connetieut starts lamp-shade stores
as a cover for borrowing money, and
then decamps. An Ohio knave sells
cows of a supposed new breed to far
mers, showing only fictitious photo
graphs. He collects a small sum “to
bind the bargain,” and leaves the
rest of the payment until the cows
are delivered—which of course never
happens. The old lodge fooling far
mers into signing promissory notes,
under the delusion that they are
simply putting their names to an
agreement of some kind relating to
patent rights, and then selling the
notes for collection, has been revived
in western New York. And finally
a seller of anew grease extractor in
Buffalo cleans one of a pair of gloves
“just to show how it works,” and re
fuses to make the pair mates in
cleaniness for lees than ten cents.
Godin, a manufacturer at Guise,
France, has introduced there a prac
tical system of co-operation. In a
work on the subject Godin says that
he. became convinced that the prin
cipal evils of poverty were lack of
ability to procure good cooks, nurses,
doctors and other necessary attend
ance ; ill-drained and ill-lighted hou
ses, lack of moral amusement and
consequent temptations. Godin
built a great social palace on the
banks of the Oise, in which his em
ployes live, aud where their wants
are supplied by co-operative stores,
kitchens and laundries. Theatrical
and concert troupes, formed among
the inhabitants, furnish amusement,
and a physician, druggist, and skill
ed nurses attend to the sick. Godin
has lost nothing by his philanthro
py, the rents paying a fair return on
the capital invested. He also shares
the profits above fifteen per cent, on
the capital invested with the work
ingmen, besides paying them good
wages.
Carbonic Acid Cas to Pull
Trains. —There has appeared in Le
Monde a paper by Dr. F. C. Beins, of
Groningen, on *the .preparation of
liquid carbonic acid, and its use as a
source of motive power.
Dr. Beins asserts that he has expe
rimentally proved the entire practi
cability of operating an engine on
this principle; and he claims for it
superiority over the steam engine,
not only on the score of economy,
but because of its safety (there being
no danger of explosion), and because
it is both less bulky and less heavy
than the steam engine; properties
which especially commend it as a
motor for ships.
Whether we have here found the
motive power which is to be the
“successor of steam,” as the Abbe
Moigno supposes, is for the future to
determine.
Chloroform, as an anaesthetic, is be
coming extremely unpopular in Mas
sachusetts, two notable eases of deaths
resulting from its use having occurred
within a year, in Boston. The coro
ner’s jury, at the inquest on the body
of the last victim, found that the
chloroform was administered care
fully, and in due quantity, and the
post-mortem examination having
shown every organ of the deceased
healthy, a ve-dict was rendered as
serting that chloroform was in itself
necessarily unsafe. It is proposed
that the use of chloroform as an an
aesthetic be prohibited by law, and
the friends of this measure have al
ready collected statistics to prove that
out of every 2700 of those who take
it, one person dies under its influence.
Those who object to chloroform pro
pose to use ether.
Decomposition of Eggs. Ac
cording to Mr. William Thompson of
Manchester the decomposition of eggs
may be brought about by any one of
three different agencies. The first,
which he terms “putrid cell,” is gen
erated from the yolk, this swelling
and absorbing or mixing entirely
with the white, and ending with a
true putrefaction. The second is that
of the vibrio, the germs of which
(floating as they do through the at
mosphere), when settling on the
moist surface of an egg,readily pene
trate into it,and set in motion the pu
trefactive condition; but when the
shell is dry such penetration is im
possible. The third is a fungus de
composition,in which the spores pen
etrate within theshell as before,send
ing filaments through the egg and
converting the white into the consist
ency of a strong jelly, the filaments
being sometimes so abundant as to
cause the whole contents to resemble
a hard-boiled egg.
The High Anglicans and Ritualists
of England have been placing them
selves in a terrible dilemma, accord
ing to the Pall Mall Gazette. There
is a mysterious person in England,
one of a dozen, who claims to be the
| “Patriarch of Antioch,” and to this
| high Oriental dignftary the High
l Anglicans and Rituals have been
I flocking to receive his benediction.
The writer reminds them that the 19th
Article of the English Church sets
forth that the “Churches of Jerusa
lem, Alexandria and Antioch, have
erred,” and that this High Priest
may not have properly purged him
self. But worse than this ; he shows
that the full dozen “Patriarchs of An
tioch” have rendered themselves still
more objectionable, for they have en
tertained erroneous opinions regard
ing the procession of the Third Per
son of the Trinity, and that they are
habitually consigned to perdition
thirteen times a year in the Antha
sian Creed by the very persons who
are seeking the benediction of this
particular Patriarch.
The Nation’s Loss.—ln one of B.
F. Butlers latejin vocations to his con
stituents for a renomination to the
House of Representatives he recount
ed the imaginary outrages "of the
white Leaguers in New Orleans, and
asked, ‘What will the South do if
you refuse to return me to Congress ?’
That interesting question must now
be answered. The terrible emergen
cy suggested by Mr. Butler has oc
curred, and it remains to be seen
whether the South can be kept in the
union without the aid of Butler. It
is a pity to lose a man who lends so
much grace, dignity, and honor to
the councils of the nation but, ab
sorbing to the old saws, what is done
can’t be helped, and what can’t be
cured must be endured, and repub
lics are proverbially ungrateful.
The Situation.— The flood has
been general. Grant sits on the bot
tom of his craft, way out at sea,
where he has been driven by the ti
dal wave. Morton sights him but
would’nt care if a wave w T ould wash
him off. Dix and Conkling use their
glasses and consult about the chance
of hurrying him back to the shore.
Friends stand around with moist
eyes and haggard looks. Office hol
ders look sad when seen by the
friends of the President, but when
they meet Democrats, they laugh
outright and congratulate them on
the change.
But'er consoles himself with his
spoons. —Austin Gazette.
Flogging for fagging, as ordered
by the Admiralty, has been enforced
on hoard the British cadet training
ship Britannia at Portsmouth, En
gland. The senior cadets who were
charged with fagging and bullying
juniors having, after official inquiry,
been found guilty, were sentenced to
be flogged on the bare back. This
order was read to the cadets by Capt.
Graham, and was carried out on the
main deck, in presence of all the ca
dets and officers. The five young
men bore their punishment sturdily.
The sixth, who had been convicted
twice, is dismissed the service.
The legal ruling in England is that
to secure a copyright in that country
an American author must either pub
lish his work in the United King
dom, or publish it upon the same
day here and there. He must, too,
he somewhere on British soil on the
day of publication—Canada soil will
answer that purpose. In the United
States no foreigner can obtain a copy
right unless he is a citizen or resi
dent ; and residence is held to mean
staying with “au intention of per
manent abode.”
The gorriJla at the Cincinnati Ex
position writes to the Small Talk:
“I hear that a good many people in
this town are making disparaging
remarks about me because I haven’t
got on any clothes. This is the first
time I have ever met with such
treatment, and to a person of my
frail, sensitive peculiarities, it crush
es like a pile-driver. I even wish
that I were dead. If you publish
this, send me four copies of the pa
pers containing it.
