~ In the summer of 1863, while
n distinguished foreign officer in our
service was in command at Columbus,
Ky, some of his friends presented
him with horse. The able Hunga-
rian was highly elated, and replied
10 the presentation speech as follows !:
Fell Solshirs and Shentlemans: /
tanks you for this boss! De boss,
shentlemans, is de noblest animal of
mankind. Again, | says, I tanks
you for this 6ue hoss !"

confesses the sins of the South thus {:
awe have sinned against the progress
of the age. No man can deny this !;
and yet we have done it with con-
scientiousness which ought to provoke
the compassion Of those on whose
mercy we mnst rely. We are as good
as they. We have acted as honorably
as they. We have suffered infinitely
more than they of the North. A few
years famine and pestilence, with oc-
casionai earthquakes, would not have
so hurt US as has this four years war"

"a A very serious trapeze acct
dent recently occurred in the circus
of M. Care at Antwerp. One of
the clowns springing through the air
in the usual way, caught at the trans
verse bar, which unfortunately broke
in two with the shock. The poor
gymnast fell heavily, breaking an
arm and one of his ribs. To calm
the excitement of the audience the
injured man, who had not uttered a
cry, returned after a few moments
and showed himself to the house, but
the effort was too great, and on his
retiring he tainted. When carried
to the hospital he had to undergo
amputation Of the arm.

vernaoular of these islands shall be
discarded in the national schools for

CHURCHES In New ORLEANS -
There are about seventy churches in
New Orleans in all, OF which more
than half are Catholic. This Is in the
proportion Of one church to $500 per-
sons. In Rome there are $50 churches,
which is about one to every 500 per-
sons. The most remarkable and beau
tiful is the one on Jackson square,
which, however, is not near 100 years
old. 1t does not appear to have any
particular style ofarchitecture, and has
not the form, but only an imitation of
the form, of the Latin cross, which is
the style of all the Latin church es of
Europe. The Oldest church building,
and undoubtedly the oldest house in
New Orleans, is the old Ursuline Con-
vent, near Ursuline street and Royal.
This building is about l42 years old /.
It is at present, we believe, the resi-
dence Of Archbishop Odin. The con-
vent, many years ago, was removed
further down the river. We shall give
some account of these and similar
houses hereafter. ~. o. Picayune.

ga5~ What do you think by the
way, of such wonder as feeding
person by eating TODD yourself? Yet
the Rev. d. A. +. Barrett, Of Kings
College, Cambridge, would have US
believe it possible. He tells US of his
being called to see woman who for
twelve years, had to re main in hori
zontal position. He used to mesmer-
ize her, and states on one occasion,
when she was suffering severely in the
throat, he ate some black. current
paste, which, she said moistened it.
"Before you ate," she said, "my
stomach was contracted now the.
stomach is its full size and does not
look shrunk.' (She was clairvoyant,
and could see her own internal con.
dition.) Doctor-"But you could
not get nourishment so Z" Patient
eyes, could get all my system wants.
10 the evening, says Mr.. Barrett, /
kept her asleep one hour, and took
tea for her. | ate dinner and she
felt much stronger for it. l kept her
asleep two hours and quarter in the
morning and one hour in the evening,
eating for her as usual. What a
blessing and saving it will be if people
can eat for one another !! No more
destitute pauperism no more starva.

tina ,gi0es apt has been reported
to us that Cortina, in recent inter.
view with the Federal Gen. Brown,
expressed his intention to give up bis
opposition to the Mexican Empire,
and retire to his rancho, and there
remain in peace and quiet. We pre-.
sumo it makes very little difference to
the Empire whether OF not these arc
his Intentions; for the most he has
been able to do, so far, has been to
harrass, and annoy, without power to

evacuation of Richmond OF the complete isola-

remnant Of the rebel column under Early, with
"that bad old man. himself, is an important
achievement Sberidan's occupation Of the rail-

but the advantages he has thus secured for o

The STATE BONITA MBTAKx.-It IL an
nounced that the paymaster of the State bounty,
who is abont ready to commence the payment
make payment to recruits at Harris Island, all
volunteers or recruits being sent there before
any bounty is paid them. There Ii much dis
satisfaction at this arrangement, and the effect
inevitably will be to greatly retard volunteer
ing. Volunteers are extremely tenacious on
this point; they will not enlist on the strength
of future promises, or for certificates as EVIL
dence Of bounty due. They want the cash In
hand when they enlist II il the look at and
feel Of the money that touches their fancies, and
II is this "cash in hand" mode of doing busi-
ness adopted by Chairman Blunt that has made
recruiting at the committees headquarters so
popular. We doubt whether any other mode
will meet with any success at all. The Super
visors' Committee are recruiting about one hum
drcd and twenty per dry, mainly because 1t
gives the recruit the greenbacks-the actual
"cash in hand" If the money Is only to be
promised when the recruit reaches Harris Island,
the volunteer will turn his back and the COM
mittee will not obtain fifty per day. This is
certain to be the effect Of deferred payments.
The true course is TO station the State paymas-
tiers precisely where the county paymasters now
are-at the headquarters Of the Supervisors
Committee in the Park and al the various pro-
vost marshals' Offices. Then everything will 70
on, as heretofore, like clock work; the recruits
will be satisfied, and II will in no way interfere
with volunteering. Do not destroy good sys-
tam FIR an untYied experiment
