ssThey were only Foreigners ,,

This is an expression made US of by a Ger.
tain class of persons when they hear of rail-
road or steamboat accident. The editor of the
Chicago Tribune heard it used in reference to
the ate railroad collision near that city, by
which many lives were lost. and breaks forth,
like a true man, in the following eloquent and
impressive strain:
They were only foreigners heartlessly re.
marks some cold blooded person, and passes on
to his business. And what if they were for.
eigners? Is not life worth as much to Ger
man or an lrishman, as to an American? Do
not Germans have wives and children TO be
cared for?--Do they not have beating hearts
as well as other men?-Do they not feel the
loss of children just as keenly as the truest
Yankee? Are lives thrown away and people
talk indifferently, because the first breath was
not breathed in American air? Away with
such narrow, such heartIess talk. We are all
of one blood all descended from the same
parentage. We all alike have human souls,
we are all made in the same image that of the
great Creator. Human life is most sacred. 1t
matters not under what roof it commenced, or
what language IS used to give expression to its
wants. On some accounts, the fact that the
disabled, the manned, aud the dead are from
foreign shores, deopens our sympathy and sor
row. Five thousand miles they had come to
seek home with Us. They had left kindred
they had brought with them the gathered fruits
of yeas of toll. They were in search of an
honorable livelihood in free America. If they
had died at home in the midst of friends and
been buried in the old graveyard by Their
fathers, the case would not have been SO sad

this hostile feeling on the part Of

to have grown out of a religious con-

The MODEL LOCOMOTIVE FOR JAPAN.
We learn from the Philadelphia
Ledger that the order given in Janu-
airy last, for the United States Gov
eminent, to Messrs. Richard Norris
& Son, for the building of model To-
connective, tender, and passenger car,
to be presented to the Emperor of ia
pan, has been filled, and in a few
days will be forwarded to this city,
preparatory to being shipped to ia
pan. The model will be accompa-
MED by Mr.. Cherries Montgomery,
practical engineer, who has been del
egated to explain to the Japanese the
power of steam as applied to locomo-
tives, and the great revolution brought
about by means of this agency
throughout this and other countries
wherein it has been introduced. The
locomotive is complete in every par
cular, as also the tender and passen-
ger car. The capacity of the loco
motive is estimated at nine tons, the
tender is four feet long, two feet two
inches wide, and placed upon double
trucks. The passenger car is ten
feet long, two and half feet wide,
and two feet ten inches high. 1t is
constructed of rosewood, and finished
in the most exquisite manner, with
revolving seats, covered with crimson.
Every other feature about the car is
in keeping with the best taste and
judgement. A railway track will al
so be sent to Japan with the locomo-
tive and its appendages.

Treatment Of Scarlet Fever.-1n letter
from Mr.. Edwin Chaplin, of the Island of ST.
Helena, recently published in the Charles
ton Mercury, he describes the following
treatment of the scarlet fever as being emf
nently successful. He says that out of thirty
four cases where he administered the ialap,
not one remained in bed more than three
days:
Directions. Immediately on the first
symptoms (which are sore throat) give a
full dose of jalap-to an adult sixty, seven
ty, or eighty grains; at night give strong
red pepper tea, from tea cupfutto pint,
according to age and violence of the symp-
toms; the next day give a small dosesof
jalap-half the quantity given the day be-
fore. Continue the pepper tea at night.
On the third day if there is any soreness
remaining in the throat, give dose of salts,
which will generally effect cure. The
dose, of course. must be regulated accord
ing to the age of the patient.

Spiritual Manifestations.

The New York Spiritual Telegraph
one of the organs of the Rapping Mediums
states that recently the Rev. DR.. Tying,
of that city, delivered discourse on these
phenomena, contending for their spiritual
origin, and insisting that the Adversary
of Souls was employed in their production.
The Telegraph says:
| CDR. Tying spoke with great apparent
concern, and warned his people against
pursuing the investigation for scientific pur-
poses, y or under the delusive idea that the
mysterious power is harmless. He announ-
ced the fact there were mediums among
the communicates in his church, and that
for three weeks past he had personally ares
tied with his adversary almost necessarily.
1t had disturbed his meditations by day
and his sleep by night, and the speaker was
understood to remark that if the annoyance
continued to increase, he should be obliged
to relinquish his ministry He desired
the earnest prayers of his people and begged
their forbearance for speaking so plainly"
The New York Express suggest that the
Telegraph's saying this is no proof of its
truth, as nobody pretends to believe what
newspaper that processes to be edited by
spirits says; but on the presumption that it
does report Drying correctly,yiz-that the
devil originates the mysterious notes.-the
Express thinks that the Doctor is quite right!
The St. Louis Intelligencer, rather more
gravely, but still well, adds a practical
suggestion Of value Leaving theologians

says: "But we have a right TO treat the sub
ject practically; and in the exercise of this
right, we have to say that the best possible
mode of dealing with this whole spiritual

Judged in that way, it is proved to have

TO the wing Editors OF Nrississippi.

To the timid and incredulous, the Wing
party stands in hopeless minority in this
State, but to those who believe in the omnip-
otence of the truth and immutability Of
Wing doctrines and Wing principles, and
the patriotism of people, when the mists
and fogs of demagogism are swept from
their visions, can but look forward, with
pleasing hope, to the day when whiggery,
pure and undefled Whiggery, shall raise its
crest far above the disunion and repudiat-
ing principles of locofocoism in this State.
Let US then put on the whole panoply and
go forward with the determination to be vic
tors or die in the ditch. Let there be un-
ion of sentiment, unity and action and pur-
pose, and let that purpose be to carry con-
viction of the truth of our principles, to
the minds of all whose souls are not be-
clouded by prejudice and passions. to those
who look for the right, and when convinced
have the magnanimity to renounce an error.
To do this, some uniform system for the
canvass should be adopted-we should un
derstand each other-we should have a
thorough organization. In order to accom-
plish this object we propose that all the wing
editors of the State shall meet in Conven-
ton at Jackson during the week ofthe Wing
State Convention, and mature plans for the
conduct of the canvass
This is an important campaign to the
Wings Of the State, and no honorable means
ought to be left untried to redeem, regener-
ate and disinthrall the State from the shack
les of Locofoco disunionism and repudia-
ton. What say our brethren of the press
to this proposition? Do you think it good
itsea? 1t will be pleasant and agreeable to
meet and commingle together socially. if it
should be of no political advantage We
should be pleased to see and make the ac-
quintance of as noble band as the Wing
editors of Mississippi mast be. Let US hear
from you.-Aorth Mississippian.
