Ii is n such case as this that the Admins

tria for attempting to seize man whom she
claims as fugitive subject Had the Admin
straton replied to the demand of the marshall
"rhe Fugitive Law is one of the laws of the
land-the President is bound TO see that, like
other laws, it be faithfully executed-but the
law does not authorize you or your deputies to
fire upon any person claimed as fugitive, en-
deavoring to escape by flight. 1t is your duty
to seize him, but not to MAIN or kill him. The
Administration cannot undertake to arrest the
course Of justice in a State, or to shield any OF
its officers against the legitimate consequences
of their breach of the laws 1T would have
avoided the disgrace of appearing as an ac-
complete of felony.
The constable who, in attempting to arrest
a person charged with crime should shoot
him down, while endeavoring to escape by
fight, would be guilty of murder. Is person
charged with fleeing from Slavery entitled to
less forbearance than a person charged with
felony9 Shall the killing Of the one be felo-
nious, that of the other be defended as justifa-
BILE by the Federal Government, at all haz-
ards, and at any cost? ;"

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

SIR: Yours of the Sd instant has been re-
ceived, and have telegraphed you to consult
the District Attorney, employ counsel if neces
sary, and use all reasonable means for the en-
forcement of the law. This Department is de-
termined that the Fugitive Slave Law shall, so
far as depends upon it, be executed in good
faith, and that the officers legitimately en-
ployed in carrying it into effect shall be sus-
tanned They need not fear any difficulty here
SO long as they discharge their duties efficient
ly and faithfully. Q

paper. announced the gratifying fact that the
Protestant Episcopal Convention of the Diocese
OF New York, in session in New York city had
admitted the delegates from ST. Philips lcolor-
ed) Church TO seats by an overwhelming vote.
This result gives us great delight for we have
ever looked upon the exclusion of these worthy
though humble delegates, as a species of prac.
teal infielity, foreign to all the promptings
and teachings Of a pure religion To John
Jay, Esq-whom many of our readers fayora-
bly, remember as a principal speaker at the
Hale Festival, and who is q worthy Son Of noble
sires--almost exclusively, is this enlightened
Christian progress due; for, as the Tribune re-
marks about 1916, finding that that Church
had few or no friends among their Christian
brethren Of lighter complexion, Mr.. Jay under
took their cause in the Diocesan Convention
dc presented the credentials of their delegates,
and advocated their admission. The vote, how
ever, was decidedly adverse to the proposition.
Next year he renewed the motion, and the
next, and the next but always with no better
success. The opponents of the measure visited
him with the seyerest denunciatons, and even
went 40 far ms 10 expunge from the journal of

ing the overthrow Of the Russian En-
peror. For, about this time, all nations
will rise up against the Gar of Russia.
Thousands and thousands of combatants
will advance toward the North, where
the Gar will have brought together his
Asiatic hord IS for the purpose Of once
inundating Europe. Upon plain, from
whose center the eye can sec no limit
to it, these combatants will rush upon
one another, and their bloody slaughter
will continue for the space of eight days
when the nations of Europe will, at last,
come off victorious. 1t will be the
greatest battle ever fought, and also the
last, for then the kingdom Of God will
commence upon the earth. But the
kingdom Of God is the Kingdom Of Love
and Justice, and in the pane Of both
Virtues, all nations Of the earth will
bind themselves in one brotherhood.
Men will no more ask one another,
whom art thou and whence comest
thou? but will love one another a.
brothers, aud none will regard himself
better than anothcr,nor wiser nor greater
than his neighbor. Many false apostles
will arise and disseminate doctrines that
are an abomination to the Lord. Then
woman will arise who shall preach thC
true religion, and all nations will be con
verted unto the doctrines Of this new
messenger Of God, for she will proclaim
the religion of Love Liberty and Justice,
which alone can bring salvation, and
through which also the kingdom OF
eternal felicity will be introduced The
favor of heaven will again descend upon
men-years ofplonty will succeed, and
as love will reign upon men, so will also
nature shower its bountcs upon them
A harvest will take place which has
never been like it before. The potatoc
will no more suffer from disease, and the
grape will be 50 abundant that the poor
est will have plenty thereof.
Great discoveries will be made in the
department of Mechanics, through which
the slavsh burden Of labor will be much
diminished Neither will these i'm
provements and inventions bring any
calamities and Disadvantages to the
laborers and instead Of being the prop
erty Of few, their influence will be felt
by the mass, and no hatred and mis-
understanding will exist among any
classes. Being united by love in one
faith, they will worship one Lord, who,
ont Of goodness and mercy, will no more
Withdraw the light Of his countcnance

privilege How calmly can you seek
your pillow how swectly sleep in all
this world, there is nothing so sweet as
giving comfort to the distressed, as get
ting u sun ray into gloomy heart.
Children Of sorrow meet US wherever
we turn-there is no moment that tears
are not shed, and signs uttered. Yet
how many of those tears, and those sighs
are caused by our own thoughtlessness.
How many a daughter wrings the very
soul of fond mother by acts of unkind-
ness and ingratitudc. How many hus-
bands, bv one little word, make a whole
day of sad hours and unkind thoughts
How many wives, by angry recrinina-
tions estrange and embit er their loving
hearts. How many brothers and sisters
meet but to vex and injure each other,
making wounds that no human heart can
heal. All, if each one worked upon this
maxim day by day, strive to maze some
heart happy, jealousy, revenge, madness,
hate, with their kindted evil associates,
would leave the earth. Our minds
would be so occupied in contemplation
Of adding to the pleasures of others, that
there would be no more room tor the
ugly fends Of discord Try it, ye dis
contented, forever grumbling devotees
of sorrow, self-caused it will make that
little part of the world in which you

Upbraid her Not.
BY r. JOHN

BY F. JOHNSON.
Upbraid her not in angry tones
Although the child has err'd,
Nor cause her eyes to fill with tears
BY one ungentle word;
For care and sorrow are impressed
Upon her fair young brow;
Father-mother-Gl all are dead
There's none to love her now.
Three months ago, in summer time,
Before the roses died,
A sisters arm was round her neck,
A brother Mt her side
But now, alas she walks alone,
All joys from her have fled;
That sister sleeps within the tomb
That brother, too, is dead.
Then chide her not in angry tones
Although she may have err'd,
Nor cause her eyes with tears to fill
BY one ungentle word;
But say, with kindness in thy tones,
"Thou freely art forgiven"
Oh chide her not in unkind words
She is the last of seven.

REMARKABLE PREDICTION.

REMARKABLE PREDICTION.
The article below is translation Of
a small German pamphlet, several copies
or which were in the hands of number
of persons in Pottsville before the Rev
olution of lS4S broke out in France.
No Importance was attached to this
prediction at the time, and the pamphlet
was thrown aside as unworthy of notice /;
but, since it has, in many things, become
so remarkably verified, can withhold
its publication no longer. 1t was made
on Christmas, in 1877, by Margaretha
Stoffell, of Ehrenthiel in Tyrol The
whole is to be fulfilled between lS47 and
1856. It was reduced to writing by
Edward Brann, physician of the royal
imperial Austrian Court of Justice. Its
publication however, was suppressed in
Austria, but circulated in Switzerland,
where it was read by DR.. Huber's lady,
who now resides in this place After
ward it was published in Philadelphia
by l.. A. Wollenweber, who informs me
in answer to letter addressed to him,
that he received copy of the pamphlet
from Germany in the month Of February,
lS4S. This gentleman's evidence, and
that of several persons in Pottsvlllc,
who declare that they read it before the
French Revolution was heard Of here, is
ample proof that the prediction was
made Just at the very time when all
men thought that the thrones of Europe
were most strongly fortified, and when
no revolution was thought Of. E. s.
The year oG~ 1917 is pasta year
which produced many tear, and in
which many fountain of tears was also
dried up, and many an unbclicving heart
was taught to look up to Him who
turneth the hearts of men as the rivers
of the earth.
The barns have been filled, the casks
are full of sweet wine, and the heart OF
man rcjoiceth; but repent, for the night
cometh when no man can work In
eastern Asia, pestilcncc and epidemic
disease will break out again, and sweep
away many who have not even expecta-
ton of their coming.
Soon the cholera will rage in Europe,
and more destructive than ever. And
there will be no want Of signs in the
heavens, at this time, calling as the Holy
Scriptures declare, men to repentance.
The superstitious, in the impotency
of their hearts, will lose all courage, and
utter cries through fears of the worlds
approaching end but the end is not yet

commencement of the year 1850, and
