JUSTICE IN IIoLLAND.-When two persons
are about to enter law suit, they are first
obliged to 90 before tribunal Of recon
cling judges, called the peace makers. If
the parties happen to bring with them a law
yer, the first thing done is to send him about
his business, on the same principle that we
take off wood from fire to exlinguish!
The peace makers then tell the parties
"you are certainly great fools to spend your
money for the rrocuraton of your own ruin;
we will bring you to an accommodation
without costing you farthng." If, after
this, the rage of litigation happens to be vi
olent in the parties, they put them off to
another day, in order to mitigate the symp
toms of the disorder; after which they sum
mon them second and third time II
their folly is then incurabe, the peace
makers consent that the parties shall 90 into
a court of justice, in the same manner that
we abandon an incurabe member to the
lunacy doctors. The law then takes its
course. No mans will and testament is
valid in Holland, without a copy Of it be
ing previously deposited in the Registers
Office kept for that purpose. Thus prevent
ing the various frauds of altering undern'
ING, antedating, and destroying, so common
in other countries.

Fast Days Observed by Modern Churches

The fixed days appointed by the ritual to
le observed as f,sts in the Episcopal Church,
es are the forty days of Lent, the Ember
days at the four seasons being the Wednes
day, Friday and Saturday after the first Sun
day in Lent; the Feast of Pentecost, Sep'
tember IA and Decemb Is; the three Ro-
CATION days, being the Mon lay, Tuesday and
Wednesday before Ascension day; all the
Fridays in the year except Christmas day, if
that day should fall upon Friday, and the
evens or virgiis before certain feasts and
Saints days sixteen in number; but if any of
these latter days fall upon Monday, then
the virgil or fast day is kept upon the Sat
urday, and not upon the Sunday next before
it.
In the Church Of England there we're
other certain solemn days for which partcu-
lar services were appointed; there were the
fifth of November, "being the day kept in
memory of the papists' conspiracy" the 3oth
day Of January, being the day kept in
memory of the martyrdom of King Charles
the Erst" the 29th day of May, being
the day kent in memory of the birth and
return of King Charles the Second" and
the anniversary Of the day upon which the
sovereign commences to reign: However,
an act of Parliament last year wiped the
first three of these royal and political days
from out of the list of 'rtes and ceremonies
of the Church." and certainly not before it
was high time for 50 dong.
In the days Of "Good Queen Bess', the
maiden monarch enjoined abstinence from
desh on Friday and Saturdays which days
thus came to be called fsh.days; but it was
then stated that this was done not so much
out of motives Of religion rs in favor OF
Tive consumption of fish, SO that by TINS
means not only might the number of fish
efmen and marines be multiplied, but the
stock of sheep be spared. The Long Par
''ament appointed a fast on the last Wed
nesday of every month.
The national religion of Scotland being
Presbyterian, in that country the rulers o
lne Church of England with regard to lasts
ARE not observed, but four days in each yea1
are appointed for like observances. Al
each town chooses is own days, it will not un

AN INDIAN WARNING.--The Placeryille
Democrat says that the Indians sentenced to
death at the August term of the District
Court. for the murder of Charles Gay in
June last, expated their crime on the gal
lows last Friday. In the yard were some
dozen Indians, men and women; to these
the prisoners talked for some minutes, most
feelmgly and urgently, urging them to alb
stain from the use Of whisky, and be good
men and women. jim, the younger one,
said, ''let whisky alone, boys. Whisky id
bad for white man and injin, all same. See
what it has brought me to-" (ponting to the
gallows.)

An English gentleman who came recently
from the Southern States brought several
private letters from there to be forwarded
to friends in England. This was done upon
condition that they should be brought
through unsealed and submitted to Lord
Lyons. The British Minister, however,
thought it proper to have them pass through
the hands of the Secretary Of State, who,
after examining them, permitted them to be
sent. AS originally intended

LANE AND SrURGIs-These two Generals
of Federal forces in Missouri are quarreling
The first is of the volunteer service, the lat
ter of the regular army. The Chicago Trib
une of the 10Th inst says:
A serious difficulty had sprung up between
these two commanders; X and it was I'm.
oerstool that Lane would no longer obey
Sturgs' orders, though the latter was his su
perior in rank. Lanes sentiments were
shared by the great body of his men, and
nothing but necessity. induced by the pres
ence of danger, would be alb to bring about
COOL understanding between these officers.
1t was further understood that Lane was
about to make charges against S+urgs, with a
view to have him removed or sus ended.
This is unfortunate for the cause in that
quarter. Gen. Sturgs is an officer of great
merit In !he battle Of Wilson's Creek
where Lyon feI he did great service and it
is to be greatly regretted that be is now Civ
ing himself up to indnlgences which carry
with them consequences SO detrimental to
the Union cause.

THE SOUTHERN RAILROADS. Q. G. De Grove,
late revenue collector at Nashville, Tennessee,
and who has lately arrived from that place says:
'The railroad interests of the South having be-
come subservient to those of the Confederate
Government, all the energies of those most in
terested have been bent to the task Of systemat-
zing consolidating and centralizing the affairs
and operations of NIL the railroad companies
throughout the South, that some one point
should be the nucleus, the heart of all these va
rious interests so concentrated, so that the ag-
gregate capital of the roads may be used seper-
ately or as u whole, for any purpose that the
Government may indicate; and all the united
rolling stock of these roads can at any time be
concentrated on any one of them which it is
most desirable to be used for Government pur-
poses, or in the event of the others being rem
dered useless by any of the accidents of war.
And the property of the various roads-cars
and engines-can at any time be thrown upon
any particular road where additional accOmmo-
dations are needed for transporting troops. To
such perfection have they carried this system.
that any number of Confederate troops can be
transported from Manassas to any Southern point
over any Of the railroads, without stopping on
changing cars"
BY this means Bcauregard can throw his army,
now in Virginia, into Charleston or any point on
the Southern coast within surprising short time.

THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM.

It was q summer evening;
Old Kaspar's work was done,
And before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun;
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmne.
She sAw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rivulet,
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found,
That was so large. and smooth, and round.
Old Kaspar took it from the boy,
Who stood expCctant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And with a natural sigh
"'Tis some poor fellows skull" said he,
"Who fell in the great victory"
IL find them in the garlen,
For there's many here about;
And often, when go to plow,
The ploughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men," said he,
..Were slain in the great victory"
.Now tell us what twas all about"
Young Peterkin he cries;
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder waiting eyes;
"Now tell us all about the war,
And what they fought each other for"
1T was the English" Kaspar cried;
"Who put the French to rout;
But what they fought each other for,
could not we'll make out;
But everybody said," quoth he,
THAT twas famous victory.
"My father lived at Blenheim then,
Yon little stream hard by;
They burnt his dwelling to the ground,
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fed.
Nor had he where to rest his head.
"With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide,
And many childing mother then,
And newborn baby died;
But things like that, you know must be
At every famous victory.
They saw it was a shocking sight
After the field was won;
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun:
But things like that, you know, must be
Alter II famous victory.
''Gycat praise the Duke of MalDro won,
And our good Prince Eugene
"Why, twas sa very wicked thing!'
Said little Wilhelm elmine.
Nay-ny my little girl" quoth he,
at was famous victory.
"IAnd everybody praised the duke,
Who this great fight did win"
"But what good came of it at last"
Quotb little Petcrkin.
"Why, that cannot tell said he;

SINGULAR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wee

SINGULAR DEFINnIoN.-Some weeks
ago the examining committee were in at

inferior grade, and were asking the scholars
to define certain words which they proposed
Among Others was the word singular" IL
was promptly defined as meaning but one or
the opposite Of plural" But said one OF
the committee, "has it no other definition!
For cxamp!e-"a singular man" so, yes, |

in this city are now engaged in forwarding
five hundred laborers to Washington to be
employed in digging trenches, building earth
works, and other labor incidental to the de-
fense Of the capital. Two hundred and fifty

ORIENTAL RAILRoADs.-The project of the
construction of railroad from Antioch
Acre, Sidon, or Tripoli, through the valley
of the Euphrates to BaIsorah, on the Persi-
an Gulf, to be called the Euphrates Valley
Railroad, is now attracting much attention
in England DR.. Thomas Clarke, who has
been showing its advantages, says that it
would shorten the route over that by Suez,
about 1000 miles; that by means of it the
journey from London to Kurrachee, India
could be performed in IA days, and by means
OF it Europe could receive daily telegraph
from all parts of India, as well as from
China, and eventually from Australia. The
distance across from Antioch to Balsorah is
800 miles, and the cost is estimated at 1885,
100000.

SHOWER OF WoRMs.-Tbe Grass Valley
National states that on Monday last, just
after the rain, the planks on Mill street
were covered with myriaGs of angle worms,
which must have fallen during the shower.
They were confined to a space of about four
hundred feet in length, by just the width of
the street. They also fell in more limited
quantities in other parts of the town. So
abundant were. they that it was impossible
for one to put his foot down without crusb'
ing them in numbers, and in some places
hundreds might be seen on spot not more
than six inches square. The National adj!
vances the theory that they were produced
by an almost instantaneous electrical action
Of the atmosphere-th elements of such
production being present under favorable
circumstances. The worms were all OF the
same size, which would not be the case
were they taken up in water-spout from
bodies of water. /.

The Coast EXPOSED.

A San Diego correspondent of the Alta
says: The want of harbor defense at this
place cannot be too severely censured. 1t
reminds me Of the ostrich's resort in pursuit,

his body exposed to the enemy. A fine
company of the promised volunteers marchr
ed past my window on their way to New
San Diego to replace the company OF regu
lars under orders for the East 1t would be
far better to have the force nearer the ocean
The entrance to the harbor should be occu.
pied, and guns put in position. AS we are
at present, a frgate might take possession
and hold this district of country for long
time. The military authorities at San Fran
cisco should take this matter into considera
ton
