WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1865
WESTERN SAINTS ON A SPREE.

The Common Council of Saint Louis
is on a visit to the Northern cities. The
ostensible object of the excursionists is
to look into the municipal workings Of
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
but the real purpose of the party is a
spree at the public expense. The Phila.
delphia Telegraph gives an elaborate
account of the Saints, going so far as to
employ wood-cut illustrations of how
the junketers appeared. We quote a
sentence or two:
"On the arrival of the Saints at West
Philadelphia, they were met by the hos
pitallers of the city and escorted to the
Girard House. In crossing the Market
Street Bridge, they Were shown one of
the antiquities of the city, the Chestnut
Street Bridge, as it was before the flood,
and the means taken to prevent it from
going to decay in this trying climate.
"At the Girard House they were
| shown the private "gasometer" of the
| concern, with which the guests are sup
piled, like Senator Wall, of New Jersey
when a speech from the balcony to the

and shown the way the Cradle is rocked
by the nurse in attendance, and how eff.
fectively liberty is put to sleep within it;
the trees in front, with suckers ali
around the trunks, showing agreat want
of the pruning-knife; the Kind and hui

coffee stand in the entrance, the pave
ment of which was once trod by a Wash
ingt0n and a Franklin, and by our revO-
~lutionary mothers in their patterns
and now by the loyal and substantial
Mrs. Patten herself. In the rear of the
hall are the trees, though not fruit trees,
yet as fruitful of subjects for the Coun,
sellers every spring and summer, in the
matter of debate, as the children are il
green apple time among the mothers
and for the same cause.
IN. B.-The Saints are notified that
the monstrOus " toadstools seen from
the Hall door, down the main avenue,
are not of natures growth, but were put
there by the city carpenter, and are
sometimes used as seats by persons who
are very weary, and want to rest them
selves, after the manner of a treadmill,
by getting tired in another position.
"The Saints We're taken upstairs Othe
fighting grounds of the Counsellors, the
location of the Ring, the seat of the
referee and the spot where the
Tenth Ward Chicken went to grass
in the little mill last summer. and
here they discoursed enthusiastically OF

the part of the Saints, spoke a piece,
which seemed to be 'nipped in the
Budd,' if the newspaper reports are car.
rectly given, in which he says funny
things"

AN EXTRAORDINARY SToRYoFTREA-
sUREs DISCOVERED IN MOUNT GEMS
TUNNEL.-The New York World has
an extraordinary story rivaling the
"moon hoax" Of gold and gems found
by the square yard in Mount Gents
tunnel, including diamonds, sap
phires, rubies, topaz, emeralds,. gold,
silver, malachite, in endless p%rofusion.
The work in the tunnel was stopped,
and France and Italy are dividing the
spoils. The original discoverer was
murdered by his fellow-workmen, one
of whom was arrested by the Govern
ment. He had previously given his de-
position of facts of the discovery to the
correspondent who furnished the state.

PETERSBURG ITEMS = The Express
gives the particulars of an attempt on
the life of Dr.. Thomas Withers, a most
estimable citizen Of that town, by u
drunken Federal soldier. The doctor
was assaulted by the soldier on thestreet,
where he had alighted from his buggy to
get a drink of water. The fellow drew a
| pistol, and presenting, said he WOULD
shoot any man who was not u Yankee.
The doctor, thinking him in sport, said,
"Well, Pm half a Yankee and got
into his buggy. The soldier said "Half
a Yankee wouldn't dO,o and fired. The
ball passed through the buggy and grazed
the physicians head, fortunately doing
no injury. The doctor followed his as
sailant then out to camp, and reported
the matter to the officer in charge but
the fellow had taken to the woods, and
had not been arrested at the last ac-
counts.
The First Baptist Church, which was
recently struck by lightning and con-
sunled, is to be newly rooted and fitted
up for Worship at once. The cost of the
necessary repairs Is estimated at $500,
and an additional sum of 81, 800 will re-
build the entire church. This will be
raised in Petersburg, Washington, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and New York,
from sympathising brethren of the
church.

Among the pleasant provincial towns
of France is Rennes, which is built at
the confluence of the rivers lille and Vi
laine, is the capital of the department
called after them, Hle-et- Vilaine this
department and Mayenne form part of
the old province of Brittany. The
united rivers flow by Oman to st. Malo,
and are navigable for barges. The dense
population has been favorable to the ex-
tended culture of the land, and, says an
agricultural writer. proves the truth OF
the assertion which may almost be as
sumed as an axiom, that just in proper
ton to the reduction in the number OF
farms IN a given area will be the reduc-
| ton in the produce Of the district.

RETURN OF SPEAKER COLFAX's
| PARTY.-Mr. Speaker COlfax, of the
| House of Representatives, Lieutenant
| Governor Bross, of Illinois, and Mr..
Bowles, editor of the Springfield Re-
| publican, arrived in New York, from
Aspinwall, after completing their tour
| of investigation through the mines,
| valleys, gorges, forests and labyrinths OF
| the Pacific States and Territories. The
| explorers have had a romantic time of it
discussing organism with Brigham
Young, and saw his forty wives, look
ing pretty well, at a theatre saw cata-
racts half a mile high in the Yo Semitic
valley b; crossed and recrossed the Sierra
Nevada mountains three times, passing
through eternal SHOWS, above the hui
man family saw q cargo of gold dust
on the Columbia river from Idaho for
San Francisco, worth 500, 900; saw one
ton of silver bricks, interspersed with
gold, in one pile in Nevada; visiting
her Majesty's folks in Vancouver's
Island, and made innumerable speeches
during the prolonged ovation which
marked their progress overland through
California.
The main object of the visit of Mr..
Colfax and his companions was to ascer-
tain If the resources and status of the
country demanded the speedy construc-
ton of the Pacific Railroad. Governor
| Bross, with whom our reporter convers-
ed, is decided in his conviction that the
early completion of the work is loudly
demanded, and his opinions are shared
by the entire party. The development
of wealth to the country attendant on
this event, ii is asserted, will be of the
most astonishing character. The Pa
cific end of the road is being pushed
with marked energy and success over
the east side of the Sierra Nevadas. The
ridge, which isseventhousand feet high,
will soon be worked through, and the
rest of the road is asserted to be as easy
of construction as a road on the New
York Central line. d.
1t was in the middle of May that the
party started from Chicago, four months
being thus passed in the explorations.
MI. Richardson, of Chicago, who ac-
companied the party, remained in Ida
no. The other gentlemen, at present
| stopping at the st. Nicholas, will return
to their homes in the course of a week.

A REPRESENTATIVE OF UNCLE SAM.
In Cairo, Illinois, recently, a num-
Der of contrabands were working for
Uncle Sam. One day II of them had
occasion to ride a horse, and coming to a
very muddy place in the road, he nat
uraIly took to the plank sidewalk near
a house. An eyewitness happening to
be in the house at the time, ran out and
ordered the "shaden to get off the
walk or he would have him fined" Con-

TREATMENT OF LADIES UNDER WA
TER lin Belgium men and women,
grotesqueIy glad, battle together as free
ly as if water were there natural ele-
ment. At Rlakenberg you will see the
bridegroom come forth from his baignOiy
leading his bride by the hand, and
steadying her amid the serf. The father
dips his daughters, and the most modest
boring machine, gladly avails them
selves ofhis polite services. Sometimes
a harmless acquaintanceship is struck
up amongst the waves, to be perfected
IN dry land, as occasion may offer. At
the baths of Pfeffer young men and
maidens, old men and children, sit in
the healing waters promiscuously, while
tables of wood, bearing a newspaperor a
cup OF. coffee, are gently floated to them
along the surface, at their call. At
Dieppe the weather-beaten bather, with
his coarse blue shirt andsun-burned hat,
waits patiently for the lady issuing from
her marine chamber, fancifully clad,
and often wearing even her necklace
and rings. He listens, with his bucket
in hand, while she tells him how the
sea-water is to be thrown. With one it
is the head, with another the arms,
chest, ornape of the neck, that is first to
be perfused and another stands like a
rock, while pail afterpail is dashed upon
the small other back. Then, if she is
young, the bather gives her q lesson on
swimming, and bids her rely on the mo-
ton of her arms, and leave her feet en-
tirely to his direction, while he guides
them after the semblance of a frog.
