THE secular authorities have been obliged
to interfere in a village called Petrowjan,
which is not far from Kashau, in Upper Hun
gary, to prevent the working of miracles.
Several persons, the majority of whom were
girls of tender age, professed to see the Vir-
gin with the Savior in her arms in the foliage
of large oak tree. While some of the
maidens lay on the ground in a state Of
ecstacy, the male 'seers'' collected money
for the purpose of building a chapel on the
spot. On the 30th Of the last month no fewer
than A, 900 persons were collected around the
oak, under which were half dozen girls,
who either were or affected to be in trance

A jackson, Miss, correspondent writes to
the Cincinnati Gazette:
There is great danger that the civil au.
thorities here, If reinstated, will smother
the negro with protection" They talk Of
regulating the price Of labor, regulating the
manner of hiring, regulating everything that
pertains to the freedmen.
They cannot be persuaded that labor will
ever be able to regulate itself They seem to
take it for granted that freedman will never
have sense enough to make a contract
1t is to be hoped that the negro will have a
little more chance yet to show what he can
do before this extensive legislation in his be-
half begins.
Thus far the negroes have shown about as
much ability to take care Of themselves as
the whites. In this city, from the 18th to
the Both of June, rations were issued in the
following proportions:
Whole number OF rations issued. ........... 1895
Number issued to whites. 6,075
Number issued to colored ................ $3.50
1t must be taken into the account also that
in this county there are at least two negroes
to every white And the above is not an
isolated example. All over the State the
same holds true. Now, does this showing
lead to any startling conclusion about the
negro's ability to take care Of himself SO far
as providing is concerned

% THE Daily Morning Bdrndeie, pub
lished by Col JOHN W. JoNEs,a at Hull, Mass,
of Saturdays issue, has come to hand. It
contains an article headed "Public Thieves, :"
which, under the circumstances, may be
considered the coolest cucumber Of the sea
son. 1t is well known that the bulk of the
BarnaeLe's patronage was derived from the
army, and now this unprincipled sheet gra-
tuitously insults its old patrons in the SER
vice by making the most sweeping charges
against them. He says that ever since the
war commenced the Government has been
robbed, and ''that officers have made false
returns. Quartermasters have sold Govern
ment stores and pocketed the proceeds. Com
missaries who have been ordered to sell
stores to the famished population of the con-
quered States have defrauded the Govern
ment by taking money for supplies never
furnished, and supplying goods that never
were issued. Surgeons have sold their stores
and made themselves rich from their corrup-
tions. Privates have stolen horses and
mules and sold them for a song" After
berating his old friends soundly for these
heinous practices, JONES, the inefiable and
the immaculate, in another part of his paper
appeals to them as follows:
Quartermasters, Commissaries, and all
persons connected with the public service,
are earnestly solicited to act as correspond
ents and agents for the Barnaele."
Many of the good people of Hull arc as
founded at JONES impudence.

THE SOUTHERN ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH-
Late news from Paris announces that a
Frenchman, with an Italian named Alberto
Bilestrini, proposes to lay, at his own risk,
an Atlantic telegraph, which will leave the
continent at Cape St. Vincent, and pass by
way of the Canary Islands and Cape Verde to
Cape st. Rogue, Brazil, the Antilles, and
New Orleans. This is quite a novel route,
and includes distance by land and sea of
over 10, 900 miles and If carried out will
connect Paris with New York across territory
belonging to France, Portugal, Great Brit
ain, Spain, Brazil, and the United States.
