The Pope attributes his knowledge OF
language to a miraculous gift. Convers-
ing to-day with priest on the subiect-a
friend of Mezzaionl'-he told me that
Mezzaionii himself attributes his power
in acquiring languages to divine influence.
He says that, when an obscure priest, in
the north of l,aly, he was called ore
day to confess two foreigners con-
demned for piracy. who were to be- exc.
cuted next day. On entering their cen he
found them unable to understand word he
spoke. Overwhelmed " th The idea that the
criminals should leave this world without
the benefits Of religion, he returned TO his
room resolved to acquire their language
before morning. He accomplished his
task, and next day confessed them in
their own tongue. From that time on,
he says, he has had no difficulty in mas
tering the most diflicul. language.-The
purity of the motive in the first place, he
thinks, influenced the Deity to assist him
miraculously. A short lime since a
Swcde, who could speak pa!ois peculiar
to certain province of Sweden, called on
him in that dialect. Mezzafonti had ne

shows that they have adopted one of cur
most approved and fashionable amuse-
ments;
mot Iorg since the colored people of
Springfield IN this state, iynched colored
mon named Mcdonald, from Highland
county. whom they found EMPLOYED by
some Kentucky shareholders at 81, 90 per
day, to make himself acquainted with the
stations and routes Of those who aid rum
away slaves IN their transit to the lake. all
OF which information he was to repor, TO
his employers. 1t is san! he entered this
state in the spring and was Fansanted
along the whole line BY the 'diberlv par.
ty." He has remained in the North ever
since, wormIng himself INTO the secrets Of
this seml-masonlc institution. Recently
he found it convenient to return South,
buthis true character became known in
the North and letters were written to diff
ferent points in this region to the colored
people to be on the alert and capture the
spy. AT Urbana an arrangement was
made to seize him; but he got wind Of
the matter and came on to Springfield.
From here he was transported 5 miles
north on the Zine" when he was recog-
nized and let go. He returned again to
Springfield, when his colored brethren
took measures TO deal with him according
to Judge Lynch, and after night they took
him to lone place. organized lynch
court, sentenced him to receive Mirtv-aiae
flashes on the bare back, and forthwith
executed the sentence! Mcdonald was
then turned loose with his face towards
Canada, the land Of white slaves and black
freemen, and giving him ten PAGES start,
told him TO run for it, and if caught he
should have "a hundred and twenty"
Mcdonald has not since been seen or
heard from. The violated law will be
