TWELVE APOSTLES, OR THIRTEEN "A
peculiar process is at present pending be.
fore the Court of Appeal at Cologne
The decision entirely depends on the
answer to the question whether there are
twelve or thirteen apostles. A farmer
in the vicinity OF Mulhcim, on the Rhine
has the right by the terms of an ancient
lease to let the waters of neighbcring
stream overflow his meadows on the
Apostles Days. This arrangement is
very unpopular with the millers of the
district, who are obliged to stop work
whenever the flooding occurs. What,
however, has especially irritated them is
that the farmer makes use of his priyll-
ege thirteen times year, insisting that
Barnabas is called an apostle in several
passages of Scripture. The court has
asked opiniion Of the Catholic priesthood
on tho subject, and, strange to say, they
are about equally divided on the ques'
ton.

GREEN ?-The New Haven Journal
tells a story of a countryman named
Barker. Mr.. G. w. Brady had been
showing his rural friends package OF
5.20 bonds, with coupons attached, and
lost $500 bond. There was a great
search instituted at once, and the police
and telegraph we've brought into requisit'
ion, when the countryman Barker was
informed of the Joss.
= Do you mean them things you were
showing us this afternoon ?" Mr.. Barker
explained: Well, | guess | put one in
nv pocket l supposed they were some
new kind of handbilis, and | thought |
would take one home and read it! l

And he Immediately felt and found it

did not know its value, having never seen

Judge the effect their old cutlasses made

The scene at the church the following
day was the most revolving, heart-distress-
ing, that ever was witnessed since the
world was created There were the poor
unfortunate dead in all stages Of consump-
ton, the greater portion of them naked.
But few could be recognized by their
surviving friends. The police ordered on
dead. Those demons-worse than devils
damned-commenced their work with as
much hilarity as you ever saw school
children enter on some pleasure excursion.
The dead were pulled about and pulled
apart as one would pull apart tangled
brushwood. You could see two or more
pconcs pulling on a limb of some one
buried under the others, until the limb
was pulled from the body. Then they
would have a pcon houl of cxultaton, and
commence at another The dead were
actually separated with crowbars and pick.
Limbs. heads and fragments were shovel
ed into carts with no more feeling than
Irish laborers would have in shovelng
gravel into a railway car. Hundreds of
bodies but partially burned. entirely ma
kci, were tumbled into open carts and
packed up in the cemetry in Que promls-

Gen. Meagher on Copperheads.

At "a reception of the officers of the
Irish Brigade in New York lately, Gen.
Meagher in rising to propose toast in
favor of President Lincoln, expressed
himself in the following pointed and elo-
quent terms:
You are now returned to your homes
for short spell, to renew in domestic
happiness that strength which, upon so
many battleields has been expended in
the cause of the United States so cheer
fully, SO bounteously, so heroically.-
Cheers Let me say, however, without
disparagement to the patriotism aud 10y
atty Of this great city, that you have come
to city in which the enemies of the Re-
public have attached camp-a camp
which is all the more dangerous because
it is so obscure and intangible. You will
have the enemies Of the Government hum
bled, and the stars and stripes trailed in
the dust, in order that they might crafty
their vicious capacities, and rear upon the
appalling ruins, the supremacy of ma
ton. (Applause) Beware Of what has
grown to be the most significant designa-
tion Of northern enemies Of this country J;
beware of the reptiles who are known as
Copperheads. applause and some hiss

mercy to them; squelch them. ZAP

Soldiers, we know what it is to meet
southern soldiers; we respect them for
their bravery we cannot but admire them
almost with enthusiasm for the perslsten.
cy aad the desperate fortitude with which
they have clung to their cause under so
many adversties and in such terrible pri-
vations. (Applause) Nor can we, as
soldiers, withhold our admiration for the
women of the South, who have bade the
loved ones OF their household 60 forth and
do battle for what they conceive to be the
best cause Of their affairs and fresides.-
We can extend our admiration, and in
many circumstances almost our sympathy
to our enemies, displaying as they do so
much fidelity to their cause, and having,
perhaps, some apparent excuse, founded
upon local associations and political views,
but for the enemies of their country in
the North, who have no excuse, who bid
their friends 60 forth to do battle, and
then cut down the bridges behind them SO
they may fall sacrifices to the enemy, as
they did when Lee invaded Pennsylvania
