SANcTIFIED ScoUNDRELs.-George of Cappa-
doeia, born at Epiphania, in Cecilia, was low
parasite, who got lucrative contract to sup
ply the army with bacon. A rogue and in
former, he got rich, and had to run from JUS
tice. He embraced Arianism, collected a IL
brary, and got promoted by faction to the
Episcopal throne of fAlexandria. When Julian
came, A. D. 36l, George was thrown into pris-
on, the prison was burst open by the mob and
George was lynched, as he deserved. And the
precious knave became in good time the st.
George of England, patron of chivalry, and the
pride of the best blood of the modern world,
Strange that the solid, truth speaking Briton
should derive from an imposter. Strange that
the Now World should have no better luck
that broad America must bear the name of a
thief America Vespuci, the pickle dealer at
Seville, who went out in 1899, a subaltern with
Hojedn, and whose highest naval rank was
boatswain's mate in an expedition that never
sailed, managed in this lying world to suppJant
Columbus, and bapuEc half the world with his
own dishonest name. Thus nobody can throw
stones. We are equally badly off in our
founders, and the false pickle dealer is an off
set to the false bacon -dealer.-EmerSon's Eng

CUBA.-We extract from the Washington
correspondence Of the Baltimore Sun, as fol-
lows: Senator Slidell has been appointed Min
lister to France, and has accepted the mission.
Now for Cuba. Mr.. Slidol is the head and
front of the project for the acquisition of Cuba.
The author and advocate of the thirty million
Cuba bill, he carries his diplomacy in his hand,
openly and without disguise. The bill Of
which he took the charge, and for which he
had the show of majority in the Senate, must
now be left to some other equally jealous and
adroit friend Of the cause. Mr.. Slidell had
given notice that he would call it up at the
commencement of the next session, and it was
not doubted that he would carry it through the
Senate. Provided with ample funds, he and
our able Minister at Madrid, may, with the CO.
operation of the Jews, who control the power
of Spain, and will, before long, if the war con-
tinues, have half of Europe under mortgage,
may be enabled to negotiate q treaty for the
cession Of Cuba to the United States before the
expiration of the next Congress. By the time
when Spain will be persuaded to part with
this jewel, our people will probably be disposed
TO receive it.
terrible accident occurred on the Balti-
more and Ohio road, near Baltimore, on Thurs
day morning. Two burden trains were ap-
preaching each other -one going out and the
other coming in-when two children attempted
to cross the track between the engines. One
was the daughter of Henry Weigand, aged six
years, and tho other a daughter Of Mr.. Brunt-
ing. As the trains nearea each other on the
two tracks the daughter of Mr.. Weigand, in
avoiding one train, fell upon the rails on
which the other was approaching, the cars
passed over her PROSTATE body, near the mid
die, tearing out her bowels. The daughter Of
Mr.. Brunting pulled at her companion, and
was herself caught beneath the wheels of the
car. Tho muscles of her left leg were torn
away, and her foot split open. The two suf
ferers were Immediately conveyed to the homes
of their parents by persons who were attracted
to the spot by the shocking occurrence.
HONESTY THE BEST PoLIcY.-Onc of our dry
| goods merchants had quito an early call, the
other morning. Tho proprietor being out at
the time, the attending clerk answered to the
call, and while displaying his goods, had oc-
casion to wait on customer No. 9, for moment
| Customer No. thought she could not suit her
self, and was about leaving the store, when the
clerk requested pay for the goods che had un-
der her shawl, which he told her were Is per
yard. To this she demurred, saying she had
bought "the self same" for Cd yard. The
clerk acknowledged that they sold such goods
for Cd per yard; but at the same time insisted
that when the goods were taken without their
consent, the price was Is. Customer No.
paid the latter price and left, feeling, no doubt
very much relieved from her embarrassing po-
sition.-Dunkirk ~. ~ Journal.
The RED RIVER EXTERPRIsE SUcoEssFuL.-
From the far Northwest We have the crafty
ing intelligence that the steamer Freighter
from st. Paul, has been taken across the portage
between Big Stone Lake, at the head Of the
Minnesota River, and Lake Traverse, the head
of tho River of the North, and that she is now
fairly in tho latter stream, and ready to do the
business for which she was sent. The placing
of a steamer on the Red River will open new
era TO the North west, and will lead to an ex.
tensive traffic with tho "outside barbarians" o
the United States Cleveland Leader.
