Mrs. Stowe in Cork.
Skull and Skibbereen, Blarney lane and
Blackpool have invited the female Barnum, the
princess IF humbugs, to Z" that beautiful city
called Cork, " to an abolition ovation.
Uncle TOMS Cabin! Father Pats Hut
Uncle Tom well fed, well clothed, well housed,
well doctored, and i'll many instances, well edu-
Gated!
Father Pat dying in ditch after being thrown
out of his birth spot-raging in spotted fever,
without drop of water to cool his burning
tongue-without food, raiment, or medicine
without sympathy or aid-save from his penni-
less peers-rotting, rottng, rotting away out of
existence!
Uncle Tom decently confined and inferred!
Father Pat thrown, like q piece of carbon,
into the red earth, a shriyeled remnant ofskin
hanging about his bones, without slroud, a
coffin, a sigh, OF a tear-the hungry dog how
ling after and tearing him from the earth at
night, and holding a carnival over his putrid
body!
Aye, inhabitants of Cork city, your white
brothers lying upon your waysides, the steps OF
your hall doors, IN your streets, covered with
vermin, fever maniacs, with parched lips and
cancerous stomachs, how dare you interfere with
American institutions institutions fostered, fed
and supported by the cotton, rice and tobacco
lords-selfsh and knavish hypocrites that they
are-of England.
Aye, take Mrs. Barnum Stowe to Skibbereen
and Skull. Show her the spot where the bones
Of your kindred lie bleaching-women and men
honester, better and purer than you-where the
'smere Irish " have melted into the earth, ebay
ing been told, according to the eminent and
philanthropic Everett, in the frightful language
of political economy that at the daily table
which nature spreads for the human family there
is no cover laid for them in Ireland, - and that
"they have crossed the ocean to find occupation,
shelter and bread on foreign soi."
Aye, take Uncle Toms historian to Father
Pats grave-that spot of red damnation-re-
mind her of the blood-hood banquet, the Tester
ing corpse, the bowls of the famine stricken the
blasphemous rawlings of the insane-and ask her
should you intermeddle for the black, while you
have white slaves by the millions, for whose
condition you have done nothing-you do moth
ing-to alleviate!
Father Pat starves in hut not fit for an aris
tocratic hog; give him human dwelling.
Poor Father Pat is without food give him to
eat from 'the daily table which nature spreads. :"
Father Pat is ignorant, unenlightened; edu-
cate him, and you will be blessed of God.
Do this-pcrform these duties--contribute to
free your own white slave (called, by mockery,
a delusion and snare, a free man and then
you may fete Mrs. Stowe, Lucy Stone, or Abby
Folsom, and sympathize with American bonds
men, whom you propagate by purchasing that
cotton which they, and they only, can produce.

IMPERIAL FAMILY OF FRANcE-The s'Paris
Moniteur," Of the 22d ult, says tile True Delta,
contains the decree regulating the conditions
and obligations Of the members Of the Imperial
family, in execution of the senatus Consultlm
of the 18th of November, 1862. The decree COM
mences by quoting the exposes DIES motifs, placed
by Napoleon I, at the head of his decree for
similar purpose, May 80, 1906. The Emperor
claims full power over his femily, in all matters
relative to marriage, the recognition of natural
children, etc. The decree is six columns long,
but offers little interest to American readers

articles:
ART. 25. The members of the Imperial fam
lily cannot, whatever be their age, without per-
mission of the Emperor, quit the territory of
the Empire nor go more than two hundred miles
from the place where the Emperor resides e

commit an act contrary to his dignity or duty,
the Emperor may intlict upon him, for period

ment in his or her own residence; of estrange-
ment from the Emperor's person or exile
ART. q. The Emperor may order the MEM
bers of the Imperial family to remove from them
any person who may appear to him to be suspi-
cious, even though such persons may not form
part of their household. .5sz.
The Emperor may even dissolve the marriage
Of any of the Imperial family, and in general,
his will and decision are to take the place, as
far as they are concerned, of the enaetmcnts of
the, civil code. @ ss3
WONDERFUL CLocK.-We find in an English
journal the following description of an ingenious
and deliberately constructed clock, made by E.
Henderson, L. L. D., of Liverpool:
at (the clock) is calculated so finely" says
the Liverpool Albion, s.that, in many of the
motions by wheel work, it will not err one
minute in 1000 years. These calculations, We
understand, have received the unqualified ap-
probation Of the leading scientific men and as
tronomers Of the day, both in Britain and foreign
countries. The clock will show the minutes and
hours of the day; the suns place in the elliptic !;
the day Of the month, perpetually, and take leap
year into account, the moons age, place and
phases; the apparent diurnal revolutions of the
moon; the ebb and flow of the sea at any port
in the world; the golden number, exact, solar
cycle, Roman indication, Sunday letter, and
Julian period; the mean time of the rising and
setting of the sun on every day of the year, with
its terms and fixed movable feasts. The day
Of the week will be indicated, and the year will
be registered for 10000 years past and to come
The quickest moving wheel revolving in one
minute, the slowest in ten thousand years from
the date. To show the very great accuracy Of
the motions in this complicated clock, a few Of
the periods may be noted, namely the apparent
diurnal revolution Of the moon is accomplished
in "a hours, so minutes, IS seconds, and $685.
872, 268 decimals of a second, which makes an
error of one minute too fast at the end of 1910
years. The stars will make revolution in %
hours, 56 minutes, seconds, and 99,O87, 284
decimals of second, which gives an error Of one
