The GREAT AFRICAN HoLocAUsr.-The
African Herald has the following in refer
ence to the great burnt offering of two
thousand victims by the King of Dahomey,
to appease the names Of his departed sire:
"His Majesty, Badahuug, King of Daho-
mey, is about to make the "Grand Custom"
in honor of the late King Gezo. Determined
to surpass all former monarchs in the mag
nitude of the ceremonies to be performed on
this occasion, Badahung has made the most
extensive preparations for the celebration
of the Grand Custom. A great pit has been
dug, which is to contain human blood enough
to float canoe. Two thousand persons
will be sacra6ced on this occasion. The
expedition to Abeakouta is postponed, but
the King has sent bis army to make some
excursions at the expense OF some weaker
tribes, and has succeeded in capturing many
unfortunate creatures. The young people
among these prisoners will be sold into
slavery. and the old persons will be killed at
the Grand Custom. .j

ENORMOUS DEMANDS OF AN AMERICAN
C1TzEN UPON THE FRENCH EMPERoR.-
Robert A. Parrish, Jr., addresses letter
to the President, through the Philadelphia
papers, asking his attention to an extraor-
dinary claim for 5000, 900 of francs, which
Mr.. P. claims to have upon the French
government, but which he cannot even prose-
cute, by reason of the obstacles thrown in
his way. The claim, he says, is based upon
the Emperors parole, which was pledged to
him in consideration of certain evidence
demonstrating the existence of gold field,
similar to that of California, and in re.
gion accessible to the arms of France, which
be had the distinguished honor of bringing
to his notice. 1t was to become payable
as soon as the authority of France was es-
tablished in any part of territory indicated.
This condition has long since been fulfilled,
and the French government is actually em~
ployed in working the gold mines. E

In P0int..GoOd Authority.

Mr.. Barrett, in his speech at Bellville,
Illinois, August %, quoted from Mr.. Bates,
of Missouri, as he spoke in the Rotunds at
st. Louis, August 10, 1856. The opinion
which Mr.. Bates entertained of the Repub-
lican party then prevails generally through
out the land at the present time:
The Republican party is not merely an
array of men. 1t is hasty agglomeration,
made up of odds and ends of every other
party that existed at the North. Mr.. Sew
ard, once an eminent Wing, and unques-
tionably a man of ability, is one of its
leaders. He was the distinguished Wing
he is the distinguished Republican. At the
North, whole slabs Of the American party
have united with the new organization, and
it is now animated by an ardent enthusiasm
which furnishes proof of its transitory na.
ture. In proportion to its ardor will be the
shortness of its life. Its only aim is the
prohibition of slavery in the Territories,
and even if it should succeed in accomplish
ing this object by a Congressional enact
ment, its whole force and vitality would be
exhausted in the effort, and it would de-
cline.

Yancey on Douglas.

Mr.. Yancey, on the 18th of July, 1859,
thus spoke of Judge Douglas:
"For MIR. Douglas, as a man, 1 have
much respect and great admiration. With
uncommon powers of intellect, with great
energy and unainching purpose, with great
reliance upon his own powers and resources,
with nature perfectly fearless, with cour-
age that leads him to grapple with the
greatest dangers, with spirit that leads
him to scorn all compromise of his princi.
ples," etc.
No one, however, who took notice of
his recent contest in the State of Illinois,
which resulted in bis reelection to the
United States Senate, can have failed to
have felt for him the greatest admiration.
Single-handed, he breasted the power both
of the Federal Administration and of the
Black Republican party. He scorned to
mlnistration brought its whole power, the
Black Republican party arrayed against
him its organization. One would have
supposed, in such contest, be would have
avoided creating feeling of determined
hostility against him on the part of tine
Black Republican party; but, with most
triumphant spirit, be carried the war deeply
into their ranks. The result was one of
the most brilliant personal triumphs that
ever was accorded to any statesman"
The foregoing eulogy of Mr.. Yancey
upon Judge Dosei.e completely annihilates
any position he may assume in reference to
that distinguished Democrat pending the
present campaign.

THE BETRAYED.

She sat alone, on cold gray stone,
Where the river made desolate moan.
The sycamore. tree stood white and bare,
Like sheeted ghosts in the dusky air.
A black cloud foated along the sky,
And night-bird utter dismal cry.
Sadly she thought of the innocent time,
Wildly she wept for her shame and crime.
Darker and deeper the shadows grow:
He promised to meet her an hour ago.
She sat alone, on the cold gray stone,
And the river fow'd with q sadder moan.
She heard the hum of the distant town,
The patter of dead leaves falling down.
She heard the toad in the long dank grass,
But never has tread-alas, alas /!
The morning came with its golden light,
To the sycamOre-trees so bare and white.
The mists that slept on the rivers brim
Went up like the wings of a cherubim.
The water. lilies so cold and fair
Were tangled with tresses Of bright brown hair
The osiers bent with quiet grace
Over form with STILL white face.
The river flow'd with desolate moan,
And dead leaves fell on the cold gray stone.

The Wife Of jerome BOnaI'arte Still
Living In Baltimore.

The Baltimore correspondent of the New
York Times says:
A matter rather singular, forcibly i'm
pressed itself upon me some weeks ago, but
l neglected noticing it up to the present
time. Passing along our streets the next
day after the announcement of the death of
Prince Jerome Bonaparte, saw his wife
Miss Patterson now near her eightieth
year, walking out in her usual costume,
unconcerned, as if nothing had happened.
She certainly knew the fact; but knowing
her eccentricities, was not surprised. 1t
is no uncommon thing to see this venerable
lady in the public marts attending person
ally to business. She often collects her own
rents, and takes firt at stock speculati0ns
when the fever is up At all times an
elegant crown jewel, glittering with dia-
monds of the purest water, is displayed
upon her forhead, while he- arms are white,
skin smooth and tender as maiden of six
teen. She is really remarkable woman.
There is a deep stoicism and unbendiDg
philosophy, coupled with independence, in
her composition, which one out of thou
sand, male or female, does not possess. Her
every thought is replete with favoritism
for royalty. Republics she esteems common,
ungrateful and now, though a citizen of
our domain, and without anything special
to plume herself upon touching imperial
favors, she lives in the ideal of Ia belle
France. Her greatest ambition is to hear
of her grandson Jerome-now in
the French army, rising to honor and impe-
rial distinction. A large portion of her
annual income, which is very large, is ap-
propriated to his service. At her demise,
it is presumed, he will inherit her entire
fortune, as she is not on terms of intimacy
with her son here

SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1860

The address was beautifully engr0ssed
upon parchment, and handed to the Prince,
who, rising, made, in ertempore, the follow
ing reply:-
GENTLEMEN-I thank you very much for your
invitation to the ball, and accept it with great
pleasure. For any details must refer you to
Lord Lyons and the Duke of Newcastle, who
will be most happy to confer with you.
The interview between the committee,
Lord Lyons and the Duke of Newcastle
was most pleasant one, and marked by
everything to make it agreeable, without
Formally.
He goes from Hamilton, Canada West,
to Chicago, where he will stay one day,
then across the prairies to St. Louis, where
he will stay one day. Returning, be will
stay two half days at Baltimore, two days
at Washington and one day at Philadelphia.
Details Of the journey are arranged almost
to the hour.
The ball in New York will be given on
the night of Oct. IL. The reasons why the
proposed dinner was changed to ball are
that the Prince, being young man, can.
not make speech, and it is not etiquette
for any one to speak for him. Of course
dinner is nothing without speech. Besides,
more persons can be accommodated at ball
than dinner.
The Prince enjoys dancing much, and
loves music, as indicated by his beating time
while the band played at the games to-day.
The ball will probably be given at the Ac-
ademy of Music.
Leaving New York, the Prince goes to
Boston, where he stays two days, as he
desires to inspect Cambridge College. He
then goes to Portland, where the feet
awaits him, and sails for England. The
reason why his stay in New York will be
so short is that he wants to see all the coun-
try. His time is limited, and he has al
ready had his leave of absence extended from
Oxford, whittier he must return to resume
his studies. He will stop nowhere on his
way back. The reason why he does not
embark at New York is because Portland
has q better harbor, and the officers are
afraid of desertions from the crews. Forty
desertions have already taken place. 1t is
also probably designed to recompense Port.
land for her loss by the Great Eastern, and
to respond to the kindness of the Mayor,

there.

by til. Miranon. party on American citizens,
one was perpetrated to-day which will scarcely
be credited IN the civilized world.
For many years the inhabitants Of This capi-
tai had desired to see railroad between this
city md the pretty little village Of Tacubays,
distant about FIRE miles; aud although priyi-
leces had been granted to wealthy Mexican
capitalists, no one had dared to undertake the
enterprise.
In July, 1855, Geo. Il. Hammeker, Esq, G
naive Of the city Of New York, solicited from
President Comonfort permission to put down
wooden rails, as the cost of iron in this country
is very great, and was induced By the promise
Of protection, to extend his enterprise and
place iron rails; after e,acti7s from him securi-
contract within two ycars. Among other obi
cations Oh the part Of the Government, was the
sixth article Of the decree, which, literally
translated, reads as follows:
1.-The railroad, the carriages. and eyery kind
of property corresponding to the road, remain
exempt for the term Of fifteen years, counted
from the day On which the first trip is exc
cuted, from every kind Of contribution and iul-
posts"
Notwithstanding the obligation Of this con-
tract, the Miramon or Church Government,
not having been able, under the 6emblance Of
law, to ruin this gentleman, whose only cause
Of of1snse re believe to be that Of being IN
American citizen, passed law on the 18th of
November last, the third article Of which ap-
pearsto have been Designed expressly to rem
der valuelcss the charter, and, in consequence,
to ruin the only American enterprise in this
city. Air. Hammeker, having protested against
retrospective laws, was to-day compelled to
surrender to the authorities the railroad, Of
which he was the managing director and CHIEF
stockholdcr, and which lie bud successfully car
ried through up to the present moment, not
