iHL OBSERVANCE OF THE SAnRATrI.-fn anpth-
er place, mention is incidentally made Of the fact
that Jenny Lind declined to leave here on the Sab
bath. We think, however. that it deserves especial
remark. 1t is equal to fifty sermons-it is a nrac-
concerts al Naschez and Memphis, based on her
departure from here on Sunday. The boat, how
ever, was delayed; there was yet time to keen the
appointments, and leave on Sunday morning. This
she at once refused to do and declined to hold any
conversation in regard to the pceuniary loss TITS
true that the concerts will be held, but on different
days-and after one disappointment, the audience
Will be much smaller.
Miss Lind is entitled to the thanks of all reli
gious persons for this strict observance OF the
commandment, ssRememher the sabbath-day, to
keep ii holy" At this moment her conduct al
tracts very general observation, and the effect Of
her example win he felt far and wide. We hone
particularly, members of the theatrical profe ssion
will bear IL in mind, and refuse to perform
on Sabbath nights. This is the only city. as we
are informed, where the actors are thus taxed In
this city indebted 10 a very public spiricd
individual for this improvement. The masked
balls fell through. crushed By the public indiena-
tion-hutt the sunday night theatricais have been
kept up. Miss Cushman has always refused TO
perform here on Sunday nights. Mr. Neafie tried
to resist, but was unwisely persuaded to yield the
point. Jenny Lind, however, not only refuses To
sing on Sunday nights, but even to travel OH the
Sabbath-and submits to pecuniary loss rather
than Violate the commandments. We trust this
fact will be noted by the press cverywhcre.-[N.

pie protection to the manufacturing interests and
labor OF the country, and il elected to the office of
U. s. Senator, will cordially my efforts to sus

Mr. James on the strength OF the above letter, fur
Their testifes that .
elm an interview with Gen. James, on Monday,

made In the letter, and gave me the most positive
assurances that he was Wing, and that he should
act with the Wing party in the Senate of the United

had been, opposed to Dorrism.
The locos have not made much by their Senate

ton Of New Jersey, has declared himself TO be in
favor Of the great leading whg measure, protection

From the Anzeiger des Westens, German paper.
PETER BRossARr.-We stated yesterday, that Mr.
Henry Gro!peter came here and gave the informa-
ton that Peter Brossart was on his farm. On the
same day, Mesrrs Christoph Schiller and William
Hert accompanied Mr. Grotpeter home, at which
place they arrived about one O'Clock in the night
Peter Brossart was at the house of Mr. Grotpeter,
and was then suffering under violent attack of an
epeptic fit, from which he only recovered the fol-
lowing morning, under the treatment of a physi-
clan who had been ca led in. When he able
to speak, he narrated to the above named citizens
the following:
priest, who had received for him his property in
France, draft for S7oo on another Catholic priest
Of the Gsisters Hospitar' in this city. To this
priest he applied several times for his money but
was always put of. Finally the priest (whom he
describes as very lean mani invited him to take a
ride, and he was by him taken away in buggy
They drove on until nIght-finally passed by long
house and drove to another house, which accord
ing to the description of the locality, the Je
suit hospital at Fiorsant At that place the priest,
who had brought him hither, suddenly disappeared.
Brossart was taken in, his clothes were taken of
and other clothing given him then large priest
took fromhim the draft for $7oo, dollar and half
In cash, two pistols and razor, which he had ia
ken with him and he was closely watched. The
food brought to him consisted Of bread and molas-
ses he, however, became suspicious, and, without
eating any, threw il into clubhouse. The next
morning, the large priest came again and brought
him some medicine. Of which he had to take one
spoonful in his presence. He did not swallow the
medicine but when the priest turned away, spit 1t
into his hand. When the priest had gone away, he
wiped his hand on the lower part of his pantaloons;
about quarter OF an hour after this, his mouth and
tongue became sore and swollen. He became aware
that he was closely watched. On the following
morning he arose before daylight, and, with his
shoes in his hand, softly passed down into the
yard, and as there was no in the yard, he
climbed over the enclosure and ran away in an
easterly direction, until O'Clock p. NJ, when he
met farmer Grotpeter, who sheltered him and re-
tanned him laborer.''
This is the statment of Rrossart, given 70 us.
He is to be brought 10 ST Louis himself to-day by
Mr. Grotpeter; and then there should be thorough
Investigation of the whole matter in the usual way
Until then we refrain from expres sing opinion.
The Republican discredits the whole story. and
thinks the excitement has been got up by the enc
mics Of the Catholics to prejudice the community
against that denomination

Let voters remember on Monday next, that the
law, framed by MIR Benton himself, makes il his
.sduty to examine the books and accounts of the
Fund Commits sioners'' and that he acknowledges
that he is Of the suppression that some $4,000 Is
unaccounted for.''
Remember, too, that Mr. WOODWARD, Is pre- sent
ed to fill the office in place Of Mr. BENTON, not
partizan--this point has been given up by the Ca
zette-but on account OF his superior business ha-
bits his legal knowledgehis exact adaptation for
the station-and the confidence every where man
ifested in his qualifications, by all who are &C
quainted with him.
Remember that no paper in the State has dared to
say ausht against the character and competency Of
Mr. Woodward. The base and unmeaning insinua-
ton in last weeks Gazette, that he "was not free
from all the iaf,mitiss of human nature" has been
virtually Withdrawn, the editor not daring to &C.
cept our challenge, calling for an explanation. The
fact 10, we have known Mr. Woodward for many
years. and we do not know man whose moIa
character would stand the scrutiny Of his Bit
terest enemies, more triumphantly than his. Such
an unfounded and barefaced insinuation as the one
the Gazette is now ashamed of, will only react in
favor of Mr. Woodward.
Remember, voters, that in giving your suitrages
for Mr. Woodward, you will vote for man who is
capable, and who will insist on his subordinates
complying with the law and the constitution, and
you viii hear no more OF unaccounted for funds
Vote for him, and ycu viii never regreti,.

tor had forbidden people TO enter his room. Mr.

ting up in his bed his face covered with scales and
scars. "What, in the name 70 Heaven, is the mat
ter with you?'' cried Mr. Blair. s'Nothing, sir,'

-
The report that the Secretary Of the Navy has
been appointed Secretary Of the Treasury al in
term is mistake--the report probably arose from
the fact that claim for interest on certain Florida
claims of 1912 is before the Treasuary Department
iAvoIving nearly 81 900 700, in which Mr. Corwin
was appointed counsel before his appointment as
Secretary. He gave opinion OF its merits, which
from dehcacy prscluded him from entertaining the
matter now.
1t is, however, deemed proper that member of
the Cabinet should pass upon the case, and for that
purpose il has been in contemplation by the Pres-
dent 10 appoint Secretary Graham, who is lawyer,
Secretary of the Treasury, cd interim, to dispose of
it. Mr. Hodge, the assistant Secretary the Treas
ury, will continue, during the lndisposiion Of Mr.
Corwin, to act as Secretary unless Mr. Graham
should be appointed far the above specific purpose
