ing the BODY Of st. Poole down Broadway,
had met old Martin Luther, standing across
the way at the Park. We think the great Re-
former would have stormed, as he never did
sgainst Pope or Priest crying out Away,
We vile crew of Diabolus, who cruelty Prot
estism afresh, by your brazen impudence Go
home, and repent of your SINS and let the
friends of this rufian bury him in the silence
and secresy, becoming one who has gone to
his God black with crime!"
Idle true American. On, my country
men, if this man is our model man; if, after
two hundred years, the Anglo Saxon race, on
the Western Continent, has dwindled to this
representative of Republicanism, let us make
all hast back to Despotism, least we next are
found parading the corps of some Baruum, or
Joe Smith, over the Union, as our dead Amer
can savior.
No, moths is not Americanism, or Protes-
tantism but Pagan Diabolism, stealing the
livery of venerable names to sanctlly its rites.
Beware, men of America, lovers of the Church
of Christ, how you blow into devouring
flame the embers of persecution and brute
popular Indignation, that slumber in every
great religious and political organization. -
Defend cur country against foreign Ignorance,
lawlessness and superstition, and our Protes-
tantism against all foes, within and without
but call not on Satan to cast out Satan, else
the two fiends will join hands, and dance over
the grave of Christian Patriotism and Anne
rcan Manhood

Anecdote Of an Italian Priest.

Among the mendicant friars or street preach
ers of Naples, are to be found men who exer-
else an astonishing influence over the lazze-
roni OF one of them, Rocco, Dominican of
posthumous fame is preserved for witty say
ings and happy illusions, which if collected
would fill volumes He was reckless whom
he attacked, and often said things, which, up
on any one less popular would have drawn
down the vengeance of the public authorities;
but Rocco was n man of whom even the po-
lice stood in awe. One day he was preach
ing to a crowd in the public market-place /:
"Ths day. he said, 81 will see whether you
truly repent of your SINS" Thereupon
he commenced penitential discourse, that
'made the hair of thu hardhearted multitude
stand upright and when they were all on
their knees, crashing their teeth, and beating
their breasts, and putting on all imaginable
outward signs of contrition, he suddenly cried:
"Now you who truly repent of your
sirs, hold up your hands," There was not
one present who who did not Immediately
stretch out both arms. "Holy Archangel
Michael" then exclaimed Rocco, "thou who
with thy adamantine sword standest by
the judgment-seat of God, hew me eve
ry hand that has been raised hypocriti-
cally." Instantly every hand dropped, and
Rocco poured forth a fresh torrent of invec-
five against the sinfulness and peryersity of
his audience.
Rocco was once engaged in discussion
with Spaniard, whom he silenced by sweat
ing that there was not a single Spanish saint
in heaven. The Castilian was startled at so
unexpected a declaration, but Rocco maintain
ed the truth of it.
"A few were let in at first" he said "but
they smoked so many cigars, that the Madon-
ma and the other holy virgins were fairly sick;
so St Peter set his wits to work to find out
how he might rid them Of such disagreeably
guests. He sent crier into every part of
heaven, to proclaim that ull-fght was to
be held outside of the gate. Thereupon eve
~ Spanish saint without exception ran off to
see the show; and when they were all out,
St Peter banged the gate too, and took care
never to let a Spanish in agar" Foreign

The Washington Sentinel on our Re-
latiOns with Spain.

The Sentinel is growing impatient Of diplo
macy in our own relations with SPAIN
But leaving that point out Of consideration,
We have the recent outrage perpetrated on the
Am ,rican mail steamer FL Dorado, an account
of which has already been laid before our
readers. The Ell Dorado was not actually
damaged, yet the flag she bore was insulted
most wantonly, and in manner which indi-
Gated an entire unconcern as to whether she
or her passengers were injured or destroyed.
There is a rumor that the Executive has or
dered a sufficient naval force to proceed to
Cuba to demand prompt rqaration and atone
nent for the violent course which was pursued
towards the E7 Dorado Some things have
been stated to us, which induces us to hope
that the Government will no longer consent
that Cuban officials shall insult our honor,
and violate our rights without being held to
an immediate esponsibility-that we will no
longer consent to volumes of diplomatic YER
bosity and years of State delays, by appeal
ing to a worn-out, diseased, and scrofuous
European monarchy to settle questions arsi-
sing every day within sight Of our own coast.
We hope and trust, therefore, that the Adj
ministratiOn has given the neelful orders to
require prompt atOnement for the outrage in
flicted on the Ell Dorado. We have become
wearied and disguised at seeing it mentiOned,
time after time, shat our ships have been fired
into AMI that the wrong was excused on the
plea of mistake. We have never heard that
any foreign vessel was ever fired into by our
armed ships Now, we demand reciprocity
an this matter Of mistake committed at sea. If
our naval officers can discharge their duties
without firing into foreign vessels, then for
eign officers can perform their duties without
endangering our passenger and commercial
vessels If mistakes must be made, let as
make them on both sides. Let there be yeciiproci-
h. Let some of our naval commanders fire
into an English P,ODletheus at San Juan, or
Spanish FL DOrudo ten miles from the coast of
Cuba. Let us see how that medicine will
work upon the stomach of the monarchical
arrogance of Europe, and on the trucking
servility of Federalism in America
! As we said few days ago, our relations
with Cuba have been changed. We cannot
regard it any longer merely as possession of
Spain. We must of necessity, look npon it
as an English and French Protectorate, which
gives to that dangerous alliance the same
power to harm us from Cuba as if the Island
belonged to it. In our judgment, therefore,
the time has come when fOrbearance ceases
to be a virtue; and we trust that the most Wig
orous measures may be adopted at once. The
right is on our side now, and no time can be
50 propitious as the present for asserting and
maintaining our rights, and for taking assu-
rance of fate, that Cuba shall not be made a
strong hold, from which England and France
can menace lis. 1t is time that the public
mind was being prepared for war, rather than
| for peace

PosTPoNED-The case of the State VS.
John Rohrer, which was to have been tried
this morning agreeable to the first postpone
ment, was again postponed at the solicitation
of the prosecution. Mr.. Gordon is out of the
city on important business, and therefore was
unable to prosecute it to-day The case was
postponed to the first term of the Circuit
Court, and the defendant, Rohrer, recognized
in the sum of $1,000 The Grand jury will
probably investigate the case, and should they
obtain sufficient evidence, he will be indicted.
The physicians have made thorough in
vestigation of the contents of Stills stomach,
and have found it to contain arsenic, but in
such minute quantities as to be scarcely sufii-
cient to produce death. They think that ar
senic could have been thrown from the sto-
mach by vomiting, but as there is no evidence
of this, ii is not fair to presume it.
We think as far as we have become ae-
quainted with the case, that it looks by no
means unfavorable to the defendant. and we
doubt wether the Grand Jury will be able to
find an indictment against himr-Dispatch.

The Wars of the Commodores

VANDERBILT vs. COLLINs.-We under
stand, that the contest between the Commo-
dores is to be transferred from the carpeted
Halls of Congress, to the rough element on
which both have become celebrated and sue
cessful Commodore Vanderbilt, we are in
formed has a steamer on the stocks, which is
to equal if not excel, any other that has yet
hoated on the ocean, and that it will not be
long before she will be completed and lauched.
We are also told that this steamer is one of a
new regular line, but it has not yet been de-
termined whether the line shall be established
between New York and Liverpool, or Havre

NEEDLEs.-Will our lady friends bear in
mind that the needle, so cheap and useful in
their hands (perhaps we should say fingers, }
goes through seventy processes in its manu-
facture before it is delivered for sale and use (?
1t seems hardly credible, but so is the fact
Commencing with the wire delivered as pro-
cess number one, it goes on and is weighed
guaged and cut passing through all the pro-
cesses of being pointed, annealed and so on,
until it is finished, rubbed, examined, counted
in 25s, papered, labelled, tied up, collected
and packed up, ready for sale And yet this
article, by combination and division of labor,
and by the help of machinery, is sold so cheap
ly that the price is counted as nothing.

OF Our telegraphc dispatches state that
Alexander McClung the well-known duelist,
committed suicide at jackson, in Mississippi,
last Saturday. He was a man Of extraordi-
nary talent, but undoubtedly the blood upon
his hands made his life too miserable to be
endured. He was lawyer of distinction; he
edited wing campaign paper in 1874 with
great ability and effectiveness; he signalized
himself by his desperate bravery as the colo
mel of a regiment at the battle of Monterey,
and received terrible wound right through
the body in that conflict; and he served with
extraordinary zeal and talent as a Taylor cleo
tor in the Presidential campain of ls49.-

MAPLE SUGAR.-Now is "sugaring time -
in Vermont, and the Vermonters are full of
work and sport. The amount of sugar annu-
ally made in that State is G, 100000 lbs, worth
S650OO0 Large quantities are also made in
New Hampshire and Maine and more or less
in the other New England States good deal
in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio; some
in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa
and Minnesota. In Canada it can be made
in almost any quantity. We think the season
will prove an excellent one for the manufac-
ture of the article, and when il is over we
hope some one will gather the statistics upon
the subject, to see how they would compare
with those of the sugar crop at the South.

WANT OF MANNERs.-It was significant of
the dread with which England regarded Mich
olas that there were such rejoicing over the

delight were natural enough, although it must
be admitted that it was an exhibition of bad
taste and still worse manners. The behavior
of the people of France and Austria was more
creditable and spectable.-Lomsv9He Paper.

SAD Picture OF NEW ORLEANs.-A New
Orleans paper has the courage to tell the trutl,
in the following strain.
1t is melancholy picture, and We sincerely
regret the necessity of the New Orleans edi-
tor painting it. He says:
The population has scarcely made an adj
vance since the census of 1850, and we should
not be surprised if it We're found to have fall
len behind the number then recorded. This
is very discouraging aspect of our affairs !;
still, there is no use in blinking it, or affecting
prosperity which has no existence in fact
On all sides we hear of families preparing to
depart permanently from cur city-the enor-
nous cost of living being vastly dispropor-
toned to the profits to be made by persons in
legitimate business, or by any persons uncon-
nected with public Office, and the a.lministra-
ton of public affairs. The number of stores
vacant exceeds that of any past period in the
history of the place, and from the very gene
raj embarrassments among the smaller classes
of merchants, we must expect to find, as the
season advances, a very great augmentation
of the unerring evidence of decline"
