counted persecution, yet they continued seven
days, during which several died; among whom
were children which were placed by their pa
rents, at the command fElijah, when expos

lowed holes in the sand while they struggled a
way the agonies Of death. While here labor.
ing under sickness and persecution, it seems
they began to suspect they were forsaken by the
Divine spirit, and that no more miracles could
be wrought for them Hence they commenced
the cry, "Oh, my God why hast thou forsak-
en- me" When, by assisting each other, the
vocierating cry was not intermitted for three
days and nights.
They stopped further down at a desert place
where six or eight more died, whose bones
still lie on the shore uncovered. And all who
remained, when they arrived at Helena, were
objects Of horror and compassion. The hospi-
table inhabitants furnished them a plentiful
supply ofmik and more nourishing Cruel, for
taking which every one was provided with a
reed cane.

who were dispersed in various directions, are

pilgrimage.
This ftte of folly and delusion, is perhaps
worthy Of notice, as furnishing striking IN
stance Of the blindness of credulity-the wild
ness of fanalicism, and the miserable propen-
sity of the mind to believe itself possessed Of
powers which do not belong TO humanity.

From the FREEDMAN.

Certain editors have, of late, grown exces.
sively squeamish in relation to our naiionoy
character. They object to the publication of
the rawlings and billingsgate Of John Randolph
and the bullying and hectoring and vitupera.
ton Of Forsyth, M'Dufie, SC. lest it should
injure our national character! This is indeed y
degree Of refinement, in politics and ethics, to
which we have not attained. Shall these men
go "unwhipt of iustice"-Shall the press be
muzzled and spare its wholesome censures-
Shall the current public displeasure and con.
demnation be turned from its natural and prop.
er course-Shall it be permitted to recreants 10
all sense of private and public justice, Of legs-
lative and personal dignity, of the obligations
Of the most stinted charity and common deco
rum-shall ii be permitted TO such men to pass
with impunity, lest the national character be de.
graded abroad! But how can the national
character suffer by such exposure * censure?
Would il not rather be elevated in the eyes of
the world, by the Press exhibiting virtuous in
digna,ion, and nilicting an exemplary chastsc-
ment? Surely it would. What, however, have
these men 10 do in forming the national char
acter? What justice would there he in select.

we endanger our national character!

MONDAY MORNING. MAY IS, 1926.

1t has been seen, by advertisement, that our
esteemed fellow-citizen, DANIEL Bryan, will,
tomorrow evening, deliver Poetical ADDRESS
in Washington, with the phianthropic view Of
aiding that afflicted and admired Poet, the
"BosToN BARD"
OF the productions Of this well known "Chd
of Genius" we need not spcak--his Pieces have,
from time TO time, been published with avidity
in every paper in the Uaion;. and are now abou.
TO be embodied in permanent manner. There
can be no doubt that such volume will uH-
matey find its way into every gentlcman's Ii,
brary; but the physical suiferings and pecuni-
airy embarrassments Of the Author call for i'm
mediate relief; and Mr.. Bryan, promptly yield:
ing 20 the solicitations Of his literary friends in
Boston and New-York, delicately places him
self before the Public to succour INDECENT merit,
and cheer the responding heart of kindred
spirit.
We have been favored with perusal Of the
ADDRESS, and, as far as our limited Judgment
in such matters is worth any thing, we fear not
to stake it upon the favorable award of Mr.
Bryan's auditory.

SPANISH LADIES.

The dress Of the Spanish lady is remarkably
elegant: and generally adorns very perfect
shape Black is the universally color, and the
robe is most tasteiuly worked and vandyked. A
mantilla, or veil ofback silk or lace, and some
times Of white lace, is thrown over the head,
and leaving the face uncovered, fails gracefully
over the head and shoulders, and is confined at
the waist by the arms Of the wearer. They are
both expensive and particular in dressing their
feet with neatness, and their little shoes fit
closely. The large black eye, the dark express
sive glance, the soft blood tinged olive of the
glowing complexion, make the unwilling En-
glishman confess the majesty of Spanish beau
ty, and he feels tina, though the sof, blue eye,
and delicate loneliness Of his own countrywo-
men awake more tender feelingsof interest, he
would deny or dispute, in vain, the command
ing superiority Of these dark eyes and fine
formed damsels.

Foreigners seldom have an opportunity of
seeing the Moorish Women, but from the Jew
reports of foreign ladies resident here, and the
extraordinary beauty OF their children, am in
cined to thi.k that they may vie with any other
in points Of personal charms. Their principal
characteristics Of beauty are elegant forms, large
dark eyes, long eye-lashes, and fine teeth; blu,
the beauty which is most priced in the country
is that of excessive corpulency. The Moorish
women. however, as they arrive very early at
maturity, being often married at twelve years
Of age, fade equally soon; am informed that
their finest women are completely in the wane
of their beauty at twenty FIVE, when they are
often grand-mothers; this may be in great
degree owing to the excessive use IS. rather
abuse of the steam bath .<Si1iey

Ohio Canal. He names Ss2,ooo,ooo as the
gross amount; of which $4,000 900 are said to
be necessary to carry the Canal to the Eastern
base Of the mountain-S2o,o oo, 900 to It's West
ern base-and S4,ooo,ooo thence TO navgable
Western waters. The expense of locking and
tunnelling the mountain, may not be overratcd.
On the most practicable route there must be
tunnel four miles long, with about forty venlu-
latins shafts, averaging 800 feet in depth. But
the cost of an ample Canal, from the tide water
to Cumberland, or as much higher as m y be
necessary, will not exceed fce millions; and from
the Great Crossings Of the Yeogbeny to the
Monongahea river, two millions more. 1t is
probable that the Report of the Engineers will
be made to the House Of Representatives to-
morrow.
A Boston paper states that the funeral Of
the Russian Ambassador, Baron de Tuy, who
recently died on the passage from New-York
TO Halifax, was celebrated at the latter place
with great parade. The procession Was escort
ed by the Rife Brigade, the 18th Regiment of
the Line, and the Royal Artillery, with seven
field pieces. The 1t Governor and principal
officers Of the government, attended as mourn
ers. After the interment, an honorary salute
of three rounds, was fired by the field pieces.
The Petersburg Republican says there ap-
pears 10 be no little rejoicing among the friends
Of the administration on account the tempo
rary absence of Mr.. Randolph from the senate.
Doubtless this meant as sarcasm, but still we
admit the fact. The friends of the administra.
ton are rejoiced-and SO are ali others, who,
rising superior 10 personal considerations, feel
for the dignity ofthe Senate, and the welfare of
the Republic. Many petitioner Tho has just
claims upon his country, will feel II benefit Of
MIR. Randolph's absence-important business
goes on, now, smoothly & rapidly, which other
wise must have been sacrificed to factious res. :,
olutions, and disgustfuI vapouring. We will
do MIR. Randolph's adherents in the Senate, the
justice to say that they too, are rsjOicsd, at his
absence. tits evident that he has prolonged

L.fT'EST FROM LO.NUO.N

execution of the Treaty of bucharest, The
precise conditions Of which are not known.
An answer 10 this by the Turkish govern
ment, was sent TO Akerman, Oct. G. The
purport Of the answer is not positively
known. A letter from Odessa says il Is
believed to be satisfactory, because no
movement among the troops has taken
place. "A letter from Bucharest speaks
more positively, and says that Turkey ac-
cepts all the conditions, and therefore the
maintenance OF peace may be looked upon
as positively guaranteed. The same let
