The term Fenian, says the Irish Gazette.
is derived from the Gaelic word Fiann.-
In the Berla Tere, or antiquated Gaelic, it
is written Fiand. 1t was the name given
to an order or class of professional sol.
diers among the pagan Irish. In ordinary
times, the Fann consisted Of three le-
gions. In each legion there were 5000
men; but in war there were seven legions
among the Fiann. The Gazette gives
these additional particulars
There were four VOWS laid upon every
Fenian. lst. Never to take a portion
with wife, but to select her for her vir-
tues. 2. Never to offer violence to
woman. 3. Never to give a refusal
to mortal man. Never to fee from
less than nine warriors Such is the &C.
count given by Irish tradition Of the Fe-
mans of ancient Ireland Previous to
admission into The order, they were sub.
jec'ed to certain gymnastic and other
trials, too long to be qnoted here. When
all was gone through with, they had to
swear fealty and homage to the King Of
the Eiann. In our Celtic legons we fud
mention of British, Scottise. or Albanian
and even Scandinavian military bodice
designated Fiann, so that it would appear
that the order was not confined to the
Gnic tribe

that the Fenian Brotherhood takes its
title. 1t proposes one day to vindicate its
claim to be the National Guard of liberia.

Mules ixA Central America

One Of the most striking characteristics
of the mule in his aversion to the ass, and
the pride he takes in his relationship to
the horse; which instincts are met by o5.
trusiveness in the ass. and by Indifference
in the horse. Ii en- ass at any time
urged by tho vanity peculiar to its race
as related to the mule-happers to fall in
with drove Of mules, he will, IN all pro.
liability, bs kicked and famed by his proud
relatives. A horse, on the contrary, takes
c distinguished position in drove Of the
mules. The latter crowd around him, and
following his movements, xhibi:ng a Vi.
olent jealousy, each trying to s,ahd nenres:
his high.bred relative This instinct is
employed to keep together the droves Of
mules on journey or at pasture, by put
ting q mare to the drove, with bell round
her neck, and called the bell,mar This
animal is !" day aud night by cord, and
the whole drove is thus kept under con.
troll, and will leave their queen. 1t is
therefore very difficult to separate the drove
The man who leads the mare is instructed,
in case of an attack from the Indians. to
leap upon the back of the animal, and
take refuge in the wagon encampment,
whittier the drove is sure 10 follow him.
Even i. the Indians succeed in separating
any from tho drove, they find it difficult. to
carry them off The animal. necessarily
attempt to turn back, and the travellers
are thus enabled to oyertake the robbers,
and recover the stolen animals The In
dams, in consequence, use every means to
get possession Of the mare; and if they
succeed in this, the whole drove is lost to
their owners. If several horses are in a
drove Of mules, the danger is that the
latter becomes dspered; and this is the
reason that. in uese journeys, saddle
horses are not allowed to 60 loose, but are
led by cord. -Frobel. ...

The German papers publish the prelimina-
ries of peace between Denmark and Germa-
ny, of which the following are the most I'M
portant points:
The King of Denmark relinquishes his
rights over Schleswig- Holstein and Launen-
burg in favor of the Emperor of Austria and
the King OF Prussia, and agrees to recognize
all arrangements made by the two latter Sow
ereigns with respect to the Duchies. The
surrender of Schleswig includes all the is
lands belonging to that Duchy. Denmark al
so cedes the Jutland possessions to the south
of the southern frontier line of the District
of Ribe.
On the other hand, the German Sovereigns
consent to an equivalent portion of Schles-
wig being incorporated into Denmark.
The debts contracted on account of Den
mark proper, or the Duchies, will be borne
respectively by either of them. The debts
contracted on account of the mon trchy, will
be propOrtionately divided between Denmark
proper and the Duchess with the exception
of tie loan contracted IN England, in 1868,
which will be paid by Denmark, and the
war expenses of the great German Powers,
which Will be borne by the Duchies.
Both parties agree to an armistice on the
basis of the VII possjdetis from the I'd of Au-
gust to the 18th of September, six weeks no.
of hostilities.
Contributions will no longer be levied on
Jutland. The occupation by the allied troops
will be continued solely for military pur-
poses
1t is stipulated that the expense Of pro
visioning the troops will be borne by Jut-
land.
The prisoners &c war are to be set at lber-
ty on condition of giving their parole not to
serve in the Danish army before the conclu-
sion of peace.
After the signature of the preiminaries,
the defnitive treaty off peace IS TO be negotia-
ted at Vienna.
The Rigsdad (Assembly for Denmark prop
err was opened on the 9th by the King His
Majesty, in his speech to tie Assembly, said ::
" Having been abandoned by all Europe, we
are obliged TO seek for peace with our over
powering enemy. Il is hard to have to make
such sacrifices, but still harder to prosecute
the war. Union between the King and the
people may bring about happier future"
A number of soldiers, natives Of Schleswig,
had been discharged from the Danish army
and arrived at Rendsburg amid loud rejoic-
ings. .E-s sEEEs
