SsIRtrUALIriEs The Spiritual 1'eic-
graph has an article headed, Locks
picked by spirits! - to which the Boss
ton Investigator responds, that there
is too much of this business carried
on by sinners in the flesh without
having any additional help from the
spirit world but We would rather see
spirit pick lock than read about it.
BY the way, since the spirits are said
to possess such 4 great amount of ply
sical power, why don't they do some-
thing useful with it? Tipping on
table Or knocking on a wall don't do
anybody good. Let them manage the
brakers Of an engine when 4 house is
on fire. or stop an omnibus when it runs
away with load Of passengers. or
drag the boys out Of the ice when they
fall in while skating, and thus save
them from drowning. and they will
then make themselves useful. and greats
" increase the number of their be-
levers. We have had enough OF tip
pings and rappings--let's have some,
thing from the spirits that will be OF
practical benefit to their brethren in
the flesh.

A FURIOUS ELEpHaNT.-An elephant
broke loose from his keeper on the 5th
inst, on the way from .Pawtucket. n.

elephant Hannibal. of the Broadway
menagerie, weighing $500 lbs. The
Providence Journal says:
When about seven miles from Paw
tucket he became furious, turned upon
bis keeper, who ha, to fly for his life
and take refuge in a house, got free,
and rushed along the road, destroying
everything in his way. Meeting a
horse and wagon belonging to Mr.. Stat

horse, and lifted horse, wagon. and RI

and Mr.. Short considerably hurt. The

tusks in this encounter. A mile fur
ther, the elephant, now grown more fu-
rious, attacked in the same manner a

The next man in the path was Mr..

son in one horse wagon. lie was

The -FOUR Gospels are full u sllusions

surface Of the country. The rsand

lire have gone over this once lair re.
gion in repeated surges of blood aud
conhagration. Centuries of war aud
oppression have exhausted the spirit Of
the people. have destroyed the 0ld i'm
prosemeats. have turned what was once
continuous garden and vineyard into
comparative desert. No man can
remember what Palestine once was,
and recall what it is at present. with
out wishing that equal laws and liberal
institutions might restsre il to its for
mer splendor.
The creation Of a Jewish kingdom
promises the speediest method OF arr
irving at this. There are millions Of
Hebrews scattered over Europe, who
would avail themselves Of such res
toratiop, to return to the Land Of their
fathers. Poland and Russia, especially,
swarm with them. The oppression un-
der which they suffer wherever the Czar
holds sway, would be an additional
inducemeat for them to emigrate to Pa
lestine. A Jew ip Russia cannot wear
beard as he wishes, cannot appear in
certain garments, cannot import even
the Hebrew Scriptures, cannot enjoy
the COMMON rights Vi citizen. When
we consider the adventurous character
Of the race, aud recall the great Jewish
exodus which is evea now going on,
we cannot see any difficulty ip the way
Of jewish emigration, such as would
repopulatc Palestine in a very few
years.
There are difficulties in the way,
however, aud serieas ones. A small
kingdom, like Palestine proper would
be, wauld hardly sustain itself against
its mightier neighbors. Hut IL, as ap-
pearances begia to indicate. the pre-
sent war will end in the re-construc-
tion Of Turkey; and ii that re.csnstruc.
tion should be based on federal union,
under the Sultan, Of various indepen-
dent provinces, then we see no reason
why Hebrew principality might not
take its place in such union, side by
side with Servian, a Russian, or.an
Albanian one.

PARTIES IN IOWA.

The Union of Saturday claims triumph for the
Democracy in Iowa at the recent April election in
that State, and more than hints that the result was
an endorsement of the Nebraska question. We do
not often follow neghbor to far-of localities for
the rec6caton of its errors, but friend who feels
desrous that the political character of the State of
Iowa should not be misunderstood here at the seat
of Government furnishes us with the following facts
in disproof of this statement of the Union touching
the politics Of that rising young member OF the Con-
federacy
The Union admits, and it is well-known fact,
that the Wings had candidate for the only State
officer to be elected at that election. The Nebraska
question was not even side issue in the contest,
and did not figure one way or the other IN the can
vass. The Unions article says:
"Among the most pleasing incidents of this election
which have to knowledge is that relating to the
county of Linn which has heretofore given Democratic
In this county Dr. EADs the Democratic candidate, re-
ceived majority hundred and seventy, being
than double the usual Democratic majority"
Now, the two principal towns in Linn county are
Marion and Cedar Rapids, the two containing about
twenty-five hundred inhabitants, and we understand
there are not twenty men in the two towns who are
not openly opposed to the Nebraska bill in its pre-
sent shape. Indeed, gentleman from that quarter,
recently in this city, declared that there were only
co defenders of the faith in those towns, being
no less personages than the two Postmasters.
Under this state of things, if the Uaion finds "the
most pleasing incidents" in the result Of Linn
county, how does it like the incident in Scott
county, where the Democracy have majority Of
200, and at the recent election gave Stewart, the
Independent candidate, $50 majority? Was the
Nebraska question an issue in Scott county? We
inquire for information It worse than useless to
claim that this question was among the issues Of
that campaign. The Democratic papers of Iowa do
not SO claim it. This unsuccessful double of the
Union may do to circulate, but the next. August
election in Iowa will tend somewhat open the eyes
of the Union about the I" soundest Democratic free
State the subject Of the compromises Of the Con-
stitution" We are proud to say that Iowa is sound
on the compromises of the country, and unwilling
that any of them should be disturbed.

The welcome rendered by Charleston said the Mayor,
above and irrespective of oil partisan and political
considerations To the address Of the Mayor which was

course of citizens assembled, ExPresident Fillmore
