Against Secret Societies.

The Rt. Rev. James Frederick, Bishop OF
Philadelphia, has taken determined stand
against secret societies, political, social or
religious, and has recently issued pastoral!
letter to the members Of his diocese, admon-
ishing them not only to beware of joining
such secret organizations as the Masons,
Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperance, etc, but
the National Brotherhood. Fenian Brother
hood. Molly Maguires and kindred societies,
whose spirit is equally Questionable, and
whose names seem to be selected rather to
conceal than to indicate the object of their
association. Those who have joinel them
are warned to leave them, anl, "by speedy
and sincere penance, to seek reconciliation
with the church" The resolute spirit of
the urelate has causee;i no inconsidorable ex-
element in the diocese.

A lady of this city, noted for the acute
ness and accuracy of her observation of life
and society, bears her testimony to re-
markable physiological fact, owing to moral
causes which is worth stating, for the pur-
pose of its being verified. She affirms that
of the births taking place in this city, those
which occur in families whose attachment
to the Union is decided and jealous, are
mostly boys, while in fan.ilies in which
there is decided sympathy for the seces-
sion cause. they are girls. The observation
of our readers may help them to instances
confirming the fact, or showing it to be a
mistake. It has often been SAID that in
countries wasted by long wars which carry
off the male population, the male births
largely predominate.- York Eoesins

General Grant.

On the arrival Of General Grant at Lex.
ington, Kentucky, last week, the citizens
came in crowds to see him and insisted upon
hearing speech: Mounting a chair at the
request Of the enthusiastic people who de-
manded view of him, General Grant was
introduced by General Leslie Coombs in the
following terms General Grant had told
him in confdence--and he would not re-
peat it that he had never made speech,
knew nothing about speech making, and
had no disposition to learo." General Grant
then quietly descended from his chair. went
away, and opened not his mouth h-out the
people cheered him a Justify as though he
he had delivered the most eloquent Of
speeches in their hearing.
Another good story is told OF General
Grant. A friend having called his atten-
ton to the use made Of his name in connec-
ton with the Presidency, the General de-
clar, that he had no aspiia,ians in that
direction, but there was one office he would
like to hold when the war ends :. 1 would
iike,n he said, ito be elected Mayor Of Ga

"A Strange Story.

West Indianapolis was considerably ex.
cited few days since by the discovery OF
several thousand dollars in gold and silver,
buried on the premises of an old German
named Valentine Hermann. The discovery
was made few days after his death, and
the fact that he was considered to be in only
moderate circumstances made the case so
singular that our reporter visited the prem
ises on Yesterday. to learn if possible, the
precise truth about the matter. Hermann
was many ye,rs ago clerk in family gro
cery on West Washington street, where he
accumulated money enough to purchase q
little property across the river. Here for
twenty years he kept grocery. doing
small business selling, for cash and keeping
square with the world. During this time
he purchased two farms. one in Hendricks
county and one in the southwestern part of
this county, and had also become owner of
several small houses and lots. Besides this,
he was known to have saved few hundred
dollars, a part Of which he deposited in bank.
and several small sums were loaned at good
interest TO neighbors ~ Est
On the goth of last month he sickened
and died. At the time he was living with
his Iourth wife, whom he married about two
years ago. His only children living are, .
son about seventeen years of age and q
daughter, by his second wife, To these he
had decided the houses and lots and two or
three days before his death he made will
giving to his wife 5000 in money, and dvi.
ding the balance of the property between
his son and daughter.
The terms of the will were thought to be
strange. as it was not supposed he had SO
much money But few Hhf aas5ss s.sss ~
the administrator, that there was lot Of
money buried in the moke.house, which
fact was only known to him. Mr.. Wright
going with him found it true. In nail keg,
sunk foot or two below the surface Of the
ground, were found $500 in silver. mostly
in half dollars, and in box buried in ano-
ther place was found 5000 in $50 gold
pieces. 1t was put up in shot.bags securely
tied. and the amount in each plainly mark
ed 1t had been buried for three years past
at least
As this money was not mentioned in the
will, the wife has chosen the law to recover
her thirds. The old man had told the boy
to keep the money hid until he became Of
age, and it would all be his, but the boy
thought it best to disclose its hiding place ~
above described and as there was no wit
ness to the gift from his father, of course
the wife will have her lawful third Of the
treasure.-[ Indianapolis Journal. l4th ?

The Jewelry of the Washington
...... NnDtials.

The jewelry of Miss Chase's tresseau,
from the superb engagement ring, about
which some intrusive paragraphist made an
item weeks since, down to the smallest
shawlpin Of the outfit, has been for weeks
subject of deep speculation among the New
York ladies. To endmerate the items, or
give detailed description of each, is conse-
quently superfuous. The jewelry work up
on the bridal occasion consisted ofa tiara Of
pearls and diamonds, and bracelet ard
pair of earrings of kindred materials. The
tiara has for a base line of pearls of exqui.
site symmetry, and exceedingly rare color.
This is shaped cunningly to fit the lady's
small head, swelling as it advances from eli
ther ear into beautiful garland of orange
leaves and blossoms, formed Of the precious
matters before suggested, and meetiinn@ ..

as need may be. four distinct ornaments IN

and with his dazzling diamonds and its
mammoth pearl, the largest in America,
forms an unique brooch. Next the garland
separates into two graceful sprays, available
as head ornaments when the whole tiara is
rot requisite. Finally, the base line of
pearls leaves its ribs of gold and becomes a
necklace. The bracelet is q circlet Of five
rows of pearls Of exemplary beauty, meet

a very rare pearl. The earrings are pend

"The Democratic party of the North was

that the whole policy Of the dominant class
in the South has been war for absolute do

the despotic system on which it built at

to which Democracy anywhere should lead
