Majestic stream Once more gaze
On thy bright form. Thy troubled waves
Still rolling with dazzling pride,
With gentle m1rmurs on they glide.
Thy placid bosom gliding IN,

Which morlals feel, but ever rolls
Thy form unheeding others woes,
These gay green hanks. thsse purple flowers

When joyous youth these scenes would cheer
And pleasure mat her votades here.

HUNGARIAN ITEMS.

The Courier des Eiais- Unis gives the details OF
the battle on the Waag. The attack was made by
the Hungarians, who, on the 18th and Doth, crossed
the river and attacked the Tmperiasts in their for
tilted positions. They even penetrated them, and
the condition OF the allies was very critical, when
the division of Panutin reinforced them. Finally
the Hungarans withdrew, unpursued by the enemy.
The bulletins Of the latter say nothing Of killed,
prisoners, or trophies they however acknowledge
that the Russian general-in-chief was wounded on
the third day.
The inhabitants Of the town Of Bo -shsr-kang hay-
ing aided the Hungarians, General Haynau caused
il TO be burned and RACED on the 2lst June. A de-
tachment of Hungarian huzzars in the Imperiast
army objected to serve against their countrymen,
snd sought to escape. They were however cap
tured. Three non-commissoned officers who head
ed them were at once pistoled. Seventeen recruits,
Italy, and the remaining seventy having been deci-
mated seven were shot on the 23d by an Austrian
platoon. Such horrors recall the wars of walen-
stein and lilly.
In the south of Hungary even Vienna gazettes
confess the insurgents have had some advantages
over the Ban, who had been forced to retire from
Peterwaradin, into which the Hungarians had
thrown heavy reinforcements.
Four Russian columns under Paskewitch, def
nitely crossed the frontier on the l7th and 18th OF
June. The reserve yet remained in Galicia. Dem
bnski, the Polish refugee has been opposed to his
old prosecutor, Paskewitch, and hopes are enter
tanned that the great reputation Of the latter will be
sullicd by defeat has been that Of the Ban, Win
dsgratz, and Weldon The union Of the Austrian
and Russian forces renders it impossible for the
Hungsrians to succor Venice which evidently must

Posi- OFFICE RoBBERY.-Rumors have been
afoat for the last day or two, about robbery at
the City Post Office; but, as the City Postmaster
and the police were actively engaged in ferreting
out, or endeavorng to find some clue to the perpe-
traitor; and, as they deemed it best not to give pub
llcity to the matter for while, we have refrained
from abiding to it.. But it is now becoming town
talk, and we lay before our readers the following
particulars in relation to the robbery. R. w. La
than & Co., well-known exchange brokers of this
city, are in the habit of receiving weekly heavy
remittances from their correspondents in Phadel-

mail, several were received, and put into his box
by the distributing clerk, and there remained DUR
ing the day; Mr. Latham not permitting any
business to be done for him on Sunday and DEEM
ing them safe in the post Office, not even troubling
his cashier to take them out and lock them in his
safe. They were seen in the box late OH Sunday
evening by some of the clerks, but, by Monday
morning, they had been purloined, and nothing
remained but single letter and Richmond paper.
Prompt measures we're Immediately taken by Mr..
Bradley, the Postmaster, and Captain Goddard, of
the Auxiliary Guard, to detect the depredator
but, as yet, they have failed in obtaining any
clue
Mr.. Latham has been furnished with the follow
ing statement of the amount purloined, which he
has thus far ascertained by letters from his corre
spondents received yesterday:

During the prevalence Of the cholera in 1882, it
was pretty generally obser we'd, and often remarked
that there was an unusual scarcity of flies. The
supposition was, that there was an absence Of some
principle in the atmosphere essential to their exist
ence Whatever may have operated to cause a
scarcity Of these common insects during the pc
Rod above alluded to, it is certain that we have
plenty Of them this season was in Philadelphia

never saw flies so plenty as they were in both
cities. They were unusually abundant, and ex-
csedingy annoying. Thus the theory, that a

In reference to cholera, as well as other diseases
there is great truth in the old sdage "Conceit can
kill, conceit can cure," as the following facts will
show A curious experiment, says the London
Medical Times, was recently tried in Russia with
some murderers. They were placed, without know
ing II, in four beds where four persons had died OF
the cholera. They did not take the disease. They
were then told they were to sleep in beds where
some persons had died Of malignant cholera; but
the beds were in fact new and had not been used
at all. Nevertheless, three Of them died Of the
disease within four hours-Phii. Daily .Ns,cs

Rev. FREDERICK BARAGA, a Catholic missionary
at L'Anse, is now at Detroit experimenting the
publication of number of devotional books in the
Ojbway tongue. Father Baraga has compiled a
lexicon of 5000 radical words of the same Ian
guage. This gentleman is well known in the West
and is one of the most devoted and amiabe mer
ever enlisted in the cause of religion. Though
possessed of large estate in Germany, while still
young man he joined the order of Jesus, and
appropriated his whole fortune to missionary la.
bors. He has been stationed at L'Anse, on Ke-
weewa bay, Lake Superior, for twelve years, and
by his sef-denial and talent won the respect
Of all who have visited his secluded home. With
brilliant education, and thorough understanding
Of the philosophy Of language, he has systematized
the Ojbway dialect, which he states is in its char
acter one of the most perfect in the world, being
monosyllabic and radical like the Hebrew, to
which, in other respects also, it bears striking
resemblance. The lexicon is but one of series he
purposes to publish at some future day.
