Loudon. April 4.—lt te reported
from Madrid that Professor rinrr, of
the Univorsity of Madrid, was arrest
ed ixicauito he petitioned tin* Kiriff
against tho recent reactionary educa
tional decrees, The Professor ui
thoutfh ill, was sent to Cadiz, for
transportation to Fernand.
It is related in an old legend that
Bt. Peter come upon the cartli a thou
sand yoorH after ho had died. All
things seemed now and unfamiliar to
him until he reached Spain; there tho
interval of a thousand years had ef
fected no change. Whatever may be
the object of tho Catholics In keep- j
ing tho countries under their rule
steeped in ignorance, the effect has
been in all times to foment supersti
tious fanaticism and barbarous repri
sals in time of war. We read, the
other day, of tho cruel massacre per
petrated by Gen. Haballa, n Oarllst
leader, 111*011 dofoncoless prisoners.
We know that the mightiest chief of
the Carlist cause, Gon. Cabrera, rais
ed tho black flag in the last Oarllst
war, and perpetrated similar atroci
ties. In 1562 the history of Florida
tells us that Monendez, “a brave,
bigoted and remorseless, soldier, was
dispatched to Florida, by the bigoted
Philip 11, to expel theFreneUHugue
nots, who had fled from iiersecution
and taken refuge there. Tho useless
slaughter of Bibaultand Ills colony,
“on the bloody rivor of tho Mutau
zas,” an act of monstrous atrocity,
committed exclusively In the interest
of the Catholic religion, Bpain and
France being, at the time, nt jieace,
He spared only the lifers, drummers,
and trumpeters, and four others, who
said they were Catholics. In the lan
guage of the chronicler, “2Wo* to*
demas fueron degalltulos, (All the rest
were slaughtered.)
The same duplicity marked the
conduct of Menendcz, in 1562, and
that of Saballa, in 1875, and the
means employed to induce their vic
tims to surrender without u struggle,
was the same base treachery which
characterized “Capt. .Jack," the Mo
doc Chief, when he murdered Gen.
Canby. In Capt. Jack's case it was
but the natural instinct of a savage
nature, smarting under cruel wrongs
and a relentless system of robbery on
the jiort of the United States Govern
ment and its agents. In the case of
Spain it is a disgrace upon tills cen
tury, as tho act of Menendcz, was a
stigma upon the lth century.
The concluding evidence of the in
tolerance which characterizes Catho
lic Spain, from King to peasant, is
the recent act of King Alphonso, sen
tencing Professor Finer, of the Uni
versity of Madrid, to transportation
because lie petitioned against the re
actionary educational deeßees. Con
trast this with the following: “A mini
petitioned for the more portion of a
slave (the slave had lost a llmbduring
tho war of 1812,) and his petition was
reeelvod, read, reported on, debuted,
and Anally decided, in his favor by
the united wisdom or Congress."
The right of petition is only second
to the right tluit one lias of demand
ing that all petitions showing griev
ances shall beheurd.
Tho final proof of tho unvarying
tendency of Catholicism to cause fa
natical persecution, is found in the
recent massacre in Mexico. A prot
estant church was entered by infuri
ated Catholic Indians, and during di
vine service, the congregation was in
humanly butchered.
No more impolitic act than the ban
ishment of Honor Finer could have
been committed by young King Al
phonso.

FATAL RKHUI/T Of A BROOKLYN' PBOFKh- ,
KOB’h JJKVOTIOK TO HUI*H< E~ inK DY
ING STATEMENT.
The imrtieulars of a very singulur
case or poisoning by hemlock were
developed in Brooklyn yesterday, the
victim being professor F. W. Walker,
a well known scientist, who was a
victim to his own devotion to an in
vestigation of the methods of treat
ing nervous diseases. Professor F.
W. Walker was proprietor o l the
Electric Baths, at No. 30<8tute street,
1 and hod for a long time suffered from
| spasmodlo contortions of the mus-
I cles of the face, and had been treated
I by Dr. Brown-Sequard, of New York,
I who is now In Europe. Tho stryeh
! nine treatment was first applied, but
i without success. Professor Walker
j then placed himself under tho treat
i nient of Professors Agnew and Web
ster, und they adopted the method of
Professor Johu Harley, of St. Thom
as’ Hospital, in London, which is the
use of the conlum, or the fluid ex
traet of hemlock. On Saturday he
visited Dr. Agncw’s office, in New
York, where the drug was used, but
witli no satisfactory result. As I ro
fessor Walker was leaving the office
the physician instructed him to pro
cure some of Professor Squibb s fluid
! extract of hemlock and take fifty
i drops at a dose. The Doctor described
j to his patient what symptoms would
: apjiear on ills taking tho dose Pro
fessor Walker them visited Dr.
i Squibb’s manufactory in Doughty
I street, Brooklyn, and procured an
j ounce viul of conlum. Returning to
I his homo lie began taking the medi
! cine, but the third dose resulted lrl
his death. Ho took the first dose on
Saturday afternoon, and immediately
afterward instructed his wife to sit
by his side with writing moteriulsuiid
note his symptoms as lie detected
them. He then dictated the follow
ing, and continued his description
till he died :
a dyino man’s memoranda.
“At ten minutes past four r. m.
fifty minims Squibb’s extract of (ioni
um. Twenty minutes to live r. m.,
effect very decided—dizziness and re
laxations of the muscles and limbs;
fifty minims more then taken, and
: immediately difficulty of walking and
| want of power to control movements;
forced to lie down, but no mitigation
of spasm; limbs weak, unable to hold
up the head, speech thickening some,
pain and Ueavlngs in top and back of
the head, pulse fifty-six. Fifteen
minutes past live r. m. took fifty
drops; some nausea, some tremor at
base of clavicle and in muscles across
the chest; no diminution of spasms
übout the eyes, more of photophobia
(dislike of light). Twenty-five min
utes past five p. m., drowsiness, in
clined to sleep. Twenty minutes to
six p. m., eyes difficult to open and
speech difficult; difficulty in the
throat, prostration nearly complete;
diplopia (doublo sightedness) vastly
increased. Ton minutes past six p.
: m., uausea, twitching* on right side,
I unable to articulate, eyes closed, ful
ness almost to suffocation in the
throat, pulse about sixty, in fact six
water! water! water!”
ms TRAGIC DEATH.
These were the Professor’s last
words. His wife, seeing that he was
dying, left the room to get some cof
fee, and when she returned he was
dead. Dr. Griffin was summoned,
but was too late to render any assist
ance. Professor Walker died of pa
ralysis of the spinal marrow.
Previous to ids death he stated that
before he left Dr. Agnew’s office the
Doctor told him that ho might ex
pect all those symptoms. Coronor
Simms says that tlie third dose was
tho cause of tho fatality. Tho Pro
fessor. while taking the drug, was
very deliberate, und said to his wife,
“Take down just as I dictate.” He
told his wife not to bo alarmed at any
symptom, as Doctor Agnew had told
; him just ltow the symptoms would
follow each other, and just how ho
1 would pass out from under the drug’s
influence. The object of all was to
relax all the muscles so that tho
twitching of tho facial muscles would
cease, and when t his w as done, a con
tinuation of the hemlock in smaller
doses, it was hoped. would relieve
him entirely.
A tea made of hemlock had killed
Socrates, and throe grains of the ex
tract, as home-made nowadays,
ought, the doctors say, to move al
most any poison.
THE DEATH OF Jin. TOYNBEE.
(Extract* from my Journal.]
May s, 1866 New York City. To
day, according to the advice uf Dr.
Van Huron, 1 called on Dr. Agnew,
394 Fifth Avenue. He advised me to
travel as much as possible abroad.
Handing me two cards, introducing
! mo to two very eminent men- Mr.
1 Toynbee, F. R. H., London, and Dr.
Anton Von Troltsoh, Wurzburg, Ba
varia. He remarked: “I would ad
vise you not to place yourself under
treatment if they propose a long
course, but get their opinions, in
icritinff, after two interviews, so that
they may be enabled to form a delib
erate opinion of your ease.”
June sth, 1866—London. Called
on Mr. Toynbee, 18 Saville
Row. His opinion is that there are
no hopes of a permanent cure of
deafness, though its progress may be
| retarded and the hearing benefltted.
! June 8. —Second visit to Air. Toyn
bee. I noticed on the walls of his
office many notices and invitations
j to scientific associations, to “Joseph
; Toynbee, F. K. 8.”
I procured his written opinion in
tho following terse style: "Mr. F.
; suffers from debility of the nervous
1 apparatus of each ear. The treat
ment, most likely to be of benefit con
| slsts in using a mild stimulant over
the ears, throat and neck, and in
■ strengthening tlio nervous system us
! much as iKJssible. is Saville Row,
Burlington Gardens, W. Joseph
Toynbee, F. It. 8."
! July 7 London. According to ap
j pointment, I went to see Mr. Toynbee
this morning, having left Paris yes
terday in order to put myself under
iiis treatment. Air. Toynbee informs
me that the indications are favorable.
I am to call again on Monday, when
he will alter his prescription and give
mo another examination. 1 have
faithfully earrieed out his instruc
tions since my last interview with
him (June 8.)
July 9.-This morning we were
startled on reaching Mr. Toynbee’s
office to learn that he had died on
Saturday afternoon from the effects
of extract of oonium, with which he
was making experiments upon the
ear. The Doctor had made an ap
pointment with ine for this morning,
when he intended to change my pre
scription. It is supposed that he was
making experiments to bear ui>on my
ease of deafness. Shortly after I left
him he sent his servant to the apoth
ecary's fur seme medicine. Taking
the vial from the servant, he dis
missed him, with instructions not to
Interrupt him for a stated time. At
the expiration of tilts time the ser
vant knocked, and Mr. Toynbee or
dered him not to interrupt him for an
hour. At the end of one hour lie
knocked nt the door and received no
response. Upon entering the room
he found Air. Toynbee dead.
I only write the above to discourage
exiiensive tours in order to cure denf
l ness. Medicine, thus far, is an em
pirical science so far as this infirmity '•
Is concerned. Each visit, lasting gen
erally about five minutes, costs a
guinea, or five dollars in gold.
Dr. Agnew stands at the head of his
profession upon this subject, I was 1
told, in New York.
Mr. Toynbee was the highest au
thority on the continent of Europe,
or in Greut Britain. Yet, he met
death at ids own hands in the pursuit
of his favorite science; just as Prof, j
Walker did, on the 4th day of this
month in Brooklyn. Query: If Mr.
Toynbee had not killed himself,
would lie not have killed me ?
Condeiued from the New York WorlS
France and Her Wine I rep.
Afr. Flagg observes in his excellent
little book on the vineyards of Eu
rope, that “tho skiil of Frenchmen
lias made the exports of their cellars
the most portable, merchantable, und
! generally consumed of all the wines
|of commerce." The highest grades
of Bordeaux and of Burgundy still
I hold the supreme place. Of the 63,-
000,000 hectolitres produced last year
in France, France consumed no less
than 50,000,000. Of the remaining 13,-
000,000 Switzerland and Germany con
sumed the most, taking precedence
not only of the United States but of
Russia and Great Britain us well.
The two million six hundred thou
sand inhabitants of little Switzerland
bought 591,453 hectolitres of French
wines, being at the rate of about five
good English gallons a head for every
man, woman, and child in the twenty
two cantons (anil yet the Swiss wine
crop is, we believe, the most impor
tant and valuable crop raised in Switz
erland. -Editor Times). It has been
estimated by competent financiers,
ttiat since 1872 Germany lias sent back
into France in payment of French
productions nearly three-fourths of
the sum paid out by France by Ger
many under the conditions of Bis
marck’s peace. Tiiis sum will doubt
less yield a rich return in the increas
ed vigor and vitality of the Teutonic
race. England, Algeria and La Plata,
the latter no doubt in virtue lif her t/ifid,
prosperous, are I inereasiny It/dian
imputation (italics ours Ed.) come
next, and the United States is sixth
on the list. One-half of the whole
English export of French wines con
sists in wines of a high grade.
Our Legislators, however, have im
posed an additional tax upon the
higher grades. Every man who votes
! good wine out of his country ought to
die of delirium tremens himself.
Tho above editorial is very sugges
tive to the political economist. We
wish some competent Southerner
would develop the subject thorough
ly, and show that 11s good wine can
be raised hero as in France. Superior
wine would command a high price.
There is a company in Thoraasville,
Gu., who manufacture a wine fully
equal to the vin ordinaire so general
ly used in France. The trouble is
our people who nrc engaged in this
business do not care to devote their
whole time to wine and fruit culture,
and until they do they will not suc
ceed in it. We have not space to

becoming a question of grave impor

State expenses are steadily increas
