GERMAN Mass MEETrsG.-The N. York
Herald, Of the 22d ult. contains an account
of German Mass Meeting, at which six
thousand of our foreign relations" were
present. We copy paragraph or two, re-
marking, rs we pass, that these Germans, like
nineteen twentieths of their brethren, have
been in the habit of voting with the Demo.
cracy:
"Pursuant to call published in all the city
papers, meeting of Germans in favor of the
election of Fremont and Dayton was held in
the Broadway Tabernacle last night.
Long before the hour announced for the
meeting to open, the vast hall was thronged
TO solicitation with one of the most inteli
gent audiences OF Germans ever assembled
in this city. There was solid look about
the assemblage that was quite refreshing,
and the enthusiasm manifested was hearty
and earnest.
This meeting gave abundant evidence of
the immense firore the pane of Fremont is
creatng among the German masses. When.
ever the name o. the Pathfinder was men
toned shout went up that was electric, and
at times the building fairly shook to its foun-
dations
Altogether it was a great meetng-great
on account of its numbers, but especially
noteworthy MS an indication of what the Ger
mans will do at the ides Of November. Depu.
tatlons were present from Brooklyn, Hobo
Ken, and all the surrounding country.
The platform was filled with our most re
spectacle German merchants, besides the Of
ficers of the meeting"
There--Southern democrats now have an
evidence of the direction in which the for
eign element is travelling.

g NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 1885.
The yellow fever panic has about died out, and
our citizens breathe freer. A few days since there
was every appearance that this dreadful scourge
would visit this city, as it was then prevailing to
some extent in the suburbs of Brooklyn; but
thanks to the vigilance of our health commission
ers, In preventing its spread as they have done by
compelling every vessel arriving from an infected
port to ROMAN at Quarantine. The weather for a
few days past has also been much in favor of
continuance of the health of New York. In fact
the rural districts in this neghborhood are at the
present moment much more unhealthy than the city,
The mystery in relation to the disappearance of
stephen ID. Branch is still unsolved. The general
impression is that ON finding his claim for services
in the Matsell investigation case voted down by
the Councilmen, he committed suicide 1t is known
that he was indebted to some friends for money
borrowed, which was TO be iquidated as soon as
he received his just dues from the Common Coun-
Gil Ii is presumed this so worked on his feelings
as to cause termination of his life.
Among the residents at Howland's Hotel Long

rooms there for the season. The President is ex-
pected at the same place in the course of next
week. This is a delightful place to spend the dog

In Vermilionyille, January, "a, DIR. WILLIAM
GRIFFITH MILLS, in the 43d year of his age.
A man, a husband, a father, is mourned by the
friend, walled by the widow, lamented by the orphan.
A son and a brother has been too soon called away
from his usefulness on earth, to meet a Gods !
ward in heaven. Thus can " " of him who ID
us on the Gath of January. H. de writer, he was all
that God made most perfect q brother, yet, more, a
second father-and as dear as ever Il father could
have been. But all that we loved as most dear, most
perfect, most noble, the grave ineXorably has claimed:
and we, with breaking hearts and sinking spirits,
must say, "The Lord givcth, and the Lord taketh
away: blessed be the name of the Lord"
DR.. VIM. G. Mills was born in the city of Baltimore
in the year 1913, but for twenty-one or twenty-five
years has been q resident ofthe State Of Louisiana.
His high professional attachments rendered his
duties of the most arduous character, and his will
ingness to always attend to calls from the poor and
suffering warmly attached to him all whom he
treated. High moral endowments made him dear to
all, and loved by every one. To his widow and
children his loss is inestimable and yet, their loss is
his gain for in the bright realms of eternal bliss the
worn spirit finds its rest and its reward. God grant
that all our lives may be like his, without blot or
error so that when we too are called away, as he
died, so may we! Momento mort" JIG N.

10 Black Sea.

Surprise has been expressed that vessels
which 60 direct to Sebastopol take a smaller
cargo thaHf they were only to go to Constan-
tinople that they diminish their cargo in
the latt4 port before entering the Black Sea.
The reason is this: The density of the water
81. different seas is more or less considerable,
d the vessels which sail in them sink in the
hter more or less, according to that density.
The density arises from the quantity Of salt
contained in the water, and consequently the
.salter the sea is, the less a vessel enters it. As,
too, the more sail a vessel carries, the deeper
she penetrates the water, it follows that the
more the. water is salt the greater is the quantity
of sail that can be carried. Now, the Black
Sea being sixteen times less salt than the Medi-
terranean, a vessel which leaves Toulon or Mar
settles for Scbastopol must take a smaller cargo
than that which only goes to Constantinople,
and q still smaller one il it is to enter the Sea
Of Azof, which is eighteen times less salt than
the Mediterranean. 1t is known that the Medi-
terranean is twice as salt as the Atlantic, once
more than the Adriatic, five times more than
the Caspian Sea, twelve times more than the
Ionian Sea, and seventeen times more thar the
Sea of Marmora. The Dead Sea contains more
salt than any other sea it is asserted that two
tons of its water yield $50 pounds Of salt and
magnesia.

A Stroud of Gold.
SIGMA

Hon. Thomas Ewbank, of Washington, late
Commissioner Of Patents, communicates to the
National l%ntelligencer some interesting infor-
nation in regard to recent discoveries in the
excavation Of Peruvian tumuli. The infor-
nation was received by MIR. Ewbank from w.
w. Evans, Esq, engineer of the africa and
Tacna Railroad in Peru. Mr.. Evans states
that in making excavations for the railroad at
africa hundreds of graves are demolished, in
which are numerous Indian relics. The eX-
cavations are seventy feet deep, and as the
soil is loose sand, as the work proceeds, every
thing from the top comes sliding down-dead
Indians, pots, kettles, arrow heads, etc. Among
other interesting mortuary relics, an Indian
was started out Of his resting place rolled up
in a shroud of gold. Mr.. Evans notices as a
remarkable fact that in hundreds of Indian
skulls which he has examined, not one has con-
tanned u decayed tooth. Mr.. Ewbank thiuks
the weight of the entire shroud must have been
eight or nine pounds, and had it been pre-
served, would have been the finest specimen of
sheet gold that we have heard of since the
times OF the Spanish conquest. In some elo-
quent remarks upon the preservation of SOU
venirs of the departed, and futility of attempt
ing to secure the great dead from contact with
their native earth, MIR. Ewbank says it il the
form or features, and not the body or substance,
of the dead, that should be preserved, and
adds:
1.-THE mummies of Egypt are quarried for
fuel, and, whether those Of the Pharaohs, their
wives, their priests or their slaves, are split
open and chopped up with the same indifer-
ence as so many pine logs. The gums and
balsams used in embalminr them have made
them u good substitute for bituminous coal ;
and thus the very means employed to preserve
them have become the active agents of their
dissipation. So it is when the material of
collins have u high market value they are
then seized as concealed treasure, and their
contents cast out as rubbish. Like heroes in
the Eastern hemisphere, the descendants of
Nance CaPec were sometimes, if not always,
entombed in such, and with considerable
treasure besides in vessels of gold and silver /;
hence we learn how the Spanish conquerors
sought for, often found, aud as often plundered
rich Incan sepulchers."

In the American Medical Gazette, DR.. Reese
thus earnestly reiterates his advice to apply
flour to scalds and burns ave still see re-
ported almost daily, ~ssappallibg number of
deaths by burns and calds. not one of which,
we take upon OURSELVES p say, need prove
fatal, or would do SO, if q few pounds of wheat
-four could be promptly applied to the wounds
made by fire, aud repeated until the inaamma-
tory stage had passed. We have not known a
fatal case of scalding or burning in which this
practice has been pursued, during more than
thirty years experience, and have treated hun
dreds in bothpublic and private practice. We
have known the most extensive burns by fall
ing into cauldrons of boiling oil, and even
molten copper, and yet the patient was rescued
by this simple and cheap remedy, which, from
its infallible success, should supplant all the
fashionable nostrums, whether oil, cotton, lead
water, ice, turpentine, or pain extractors, every
one of which has been tried a thousand times
with fatal results, and the victims have died in
excruciating agony, when a few handfulls of
flour would have Gained them to sleep, and
rescued them from pain and death. Humanity
should prompt the profession to publish and
republish the facts on this subject, which are
established by the authority of standard mcdi-
work, on both sides Of the Atlantic"

TIE RIGHT CONSERVATIVE Sp11uT.-At a
recent meeting Of the National American Club,
@NewYork city, the following resolution was
unanimously passed. It is the sentiment, not
~withstanding the bluster Of demagogues, Of the
great conservative masses of the North:
Resolued, That upon the great subject of
slavery, We pretend not to be wiser or better
than our fathers, but keep equallyc clear as they
did from the ultraism Of one side, that sees in
the institution the cornerstone Of every politi-
cal and social blessing, and from the fanaticism
of the other side, that would upheave, in spite
of every constitutional barrier, and in disregard
Of all consequences, the unity, integrity and
ance with the provisions of the Constitution,
and the past usages of this Government when a
new State seeks admission-into the Union, and
presents q republican constitution, it shall be
admitted either with or without domestic
slavery, as the citizens forming the new State
shall for themselves determine.

A Scotch suItana,

1t is one Of the curious facts concerning the
Crimea, that it was conquered for Russia by
an 1rishman and it now seems that it boosted
once of another curiosity Scotch Sultana.
The Sultana Anne Katie Ghery Krim
Cherry, was q young lady belonging to Edin-
burgh, who became the wife Of the Sultan of
the Crimea in the following manner: About
seventy years ago, Catherine Of Russia invaded
the Crimea, deposed the Sultan, and annexed
the Crimea itself to the Russian dominions.
Some forty years after that event, or about 80
years back from the present date, the deposed
Sultan, or more probably the son of the deposed
Sultan, visited Edinburgh while there he was
to be found in the first circles of the modern
Athens. He became attached to q young
lady-a Miss Nelson or Neilson-and married
her. After the marriage he took her to the
Crimea. For many years this Sultan has been
dead. His Sultana went, in June last, the
way of all the earth. Last winter, while in
Edinburgh, I heard that the family of the de-
ceased Sultan was resident about twelve miles
from the river Alma. A small volume was
published last winter, by Messrs. tombstone &
Hunter, Princes street, Edinburgh, on the
subject of the Crimea this volume is. on the
title-page, said to be "By a Lady" The
author is Miss Nelson, a sister of the Sultana
of Krim 1artary.
