The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-06-10

Doctor Johann Faust is q prominent
character ofthe national and popular poet
~ of Germany. According " tradition he
was cell brated necromancer, born about
A. D. 1880 at Knittlingen, or Kundlingcn,
In Wurtemburg. He is said to nave stud
led magic at Crscow. Having mastered
all the secret sciences, he was seized with
gloomy dissatisfaction at the shallowness
Of human knowledge, and, with an intense
longing after 3 more elevated kind Of
mental and physical enjoyment, be coDjur-
ed the Evil One, and made an arrangement
with him, according to which the devil wss
to serve Faust for full twenty. four years,
obeying al his bshests, snd at the
expiration Of the term Faust's soul
was to be delivered to eternal dam
nation. The contract, signed by Faust
with his own blood, contained the follow
ing five conditions: !, he shall reuounee
God and all celestial hosts; 2, he shall be
an enemy Of sll mankind; g. he shall not
obey priests; 4, he shall not go to church
nor psrtske of the holy sacrament; 5, he
shall hate and shun wedlock" Faust
having this agreement, Satan sent him q
spiritIs fanliLiarls (Mephistopheles, Meth
istephilis, or Mephiztophiles,) devil ''who
gan brilliant worldly csseer. He rev.
eled in all manner of sensual enjoyment,
Of which his attentive devil servant,
with an iRexhaustibls fertility of Inn
agination, was always inventing new
and more attractive forms. When re-
morse tormented Faust, and surfeit led
him to sober reflection, Mephistopheles de
Verted him with all kinds of curious dew
iltries. Faust frequently joined in them,
and applied his supernatural powers to the
most astonishing fests Of witchcraft This
period of his career IS embellished by pop
ular poetry with numerous comicsl tricks
and miraculous feats. Finally, the term Of
twenty. four years drawing to its close, re-
morse and fear overpower him completely;
as q last resort he seeks relief and saliva
tion from priests, but not sVails him.
All flee from the doomed man. Mid
night approaches; an unearthly noise Is
heard from Faust's room, the bowling of
storm which shakes the house to its very
foundation, demoniacsl laughter, cries Of
pain and anguish, piercing, heart-rendinS
call for help, followed by the stiffness Of
death Next morning they found Fsusts
room empty, bat on the floors and walls
evidence Of s violent struggle, pools of blood
and shattered brains; the corpse itself msDg-
led in most horrible manner, they found
upon dunghill.
That some such person as Faust has ex-
isted is asserted In most positive manner
by writers who profess TO have eonversed
with him. Among those eye witnesses are
Philip Melsnothon, the great reformer, and
Conrad Gesner, 1861, and even in Luther's
"Table-TAlk' mention Is made Of Doctor
Faust IS q man irretrievably lost.

At about two P NJ, to-day, an extensive
building used for containing qusrtermss
ter's sud commisssries' stores, on the corner
Of Sumner and Broad streets, known as
Tsylor's Depot YVES discovered to be on fire
supposed to have caught from sparks
from locomotive which fell in the cellAr
of he building, from an engine aid truck
which runs the length ways of the building
Captsin w. A. Wainwright in charge of
Che building had two or three inches Jets
of water playing on the fire, before the ar
rival u the fire department.
The fire department lied promptly to
the scene of the fire, but could not stay the
progress of the flames, until half the build
ing was entirely destroyed. The other
half containing the comInisssry stores was
saved from destruction by the fire depSrt-
ment. The estimated loss to the govern
ment, is between four and five million of
dollars.
Several dwellings near the scene of the
cOnhsgration were destroyed with their
con .ents. So great was the heat that all
the approaches to the scene were impOssi
bic. Two or three employees are supposed
to have persisted in the flames.

properly at the great fire to-day is believed
to be between $s,0O00OO and $40 100000.
Within its walls were stores sufficient to
supply an army of $4,000 men two yesrs.
The quantity of rope alone destroyed was
valued at upwards of 100000.
The building was the largest in the coun-
try, being 800 feet front by 200 feet deep
Fortunately the buildings were separated
by fire. wall, which was suggested and
built by General J. L. Donaldson, and the
largest part, 500 feet 'front.' was by this pre-
caution saved from destructson.
Various run ors are sfost IS to the cause |
of the, some maintaining that it |
was the work of an incendlsry, others
that was an accident. A court of inquiry |
will investigate the matter.
Combustion was 80 rapid that the build
ing was one sheet of flame before the fire
department could get TO work on it.

AHuman monster.

A Richmond correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Inquirer says:
There walks the streets Of Richmond to-
day creature having the outward SEM
blsnce Of q man. He Wslks erect on two
leg; has the usual compliment Of human
limbs and features, yet his humanity is
doubtful. This brute was negro trader,
(thank God, I can ARy I0Gs,) and Mr..
Stoves world-i1famous "Legree' was an.
sueel Of Justice and mercy compared with
him. He kept q den on franklin street,
(thank God for the past tense again and
some of his cruelties are coming to light
Brutally and numerically whipping the
unfcrtunates IN his power was the least Of
his enormitiss. He has taken negroes
from the whipping post and poured moul-
tan sealing wax into the gaping wounds
made by the lash. He has stripped men
and women, and laid them upon their
backs in 8 room, and amused himself by
walking upon them. He has tied naked
men under the hydrsnt and allowed tha
water 70 run upon them for hours-an ex-
ouisite torture, thought to have died with
the Inquisition. He has forced women
| innumerable times to the commission of
unmsntionsble crimes. He has taken
children by the heels and beat their heads
upon the floor. There is no well Ruthen-
/ ticated case of murder compared with
these things. Under The old regime this
man did these things. JEFF. Davis sat in
state four blocks from the spot where these
outrages were perPetrsted, and he and his
government and the civilization" under
! lying both, need no further comment.

JOHN A. WISE.

NEW YORK, une 3.
The Hersld's correspondent says John
A. Wise, brother of Henry A Wise, who
admits that his four sons had been in the
rebel army Until its surrender, and that he
and his family had done all they could to-
wards the success of the rebellion, wrote
to General Gordon, commanding at Nor
folB, demanding that the government
should supply hun and his family with
farming implements, horses and seed, claim
ing restoration of his citizenship rights,
and complaining OF his suffsrings and
losses during the war, and that his zons
were not allowed to wear the rebel uni
FORM.
q General Gordon's reply to this important
secessionist gave him to understand that he
and his sons had been traitors TO the gov
ernment sld were entitled to no favors
from 1t, but would n ceive such as, in its
leniencY it might see proper to grant.
John Minor Bolts arrived in Richmond
on the 9th inst. There are rumors there
that he intends to oppose the policy Of
Governor Pierponts administration and
also that he will be candidate for the o. s.
Senate.
The late rebel Governor of Virginia
William Smith has not yet been arrested,
though it is said that he was recently in
the vicinity of Richmond.
The Times Washington special of the
9Th, says all dismounted cavalry will be
discharged Immediately. 1t was believed
that the government would muster out 6
large amount of cavalry and reorgsnizs snd
consolidate what remained, but this will no
be done, and brigade is being sent to the
command of General Logan in Kentucky
This causes some dissatisfaction among thC
men who expected to bs discharged. Effort

COMMENCEMENT AT HIRAT.
Anniversary or the DeIpbIc socIet,


HIRAM, June 9Th, 1865.
The fact that for the last ten years rain
has been an almost invRrisble sccompani.
ment of the Commencement Exercises at
this place, is so marked that it has grown
into proverb that rain will always come
on the Anniversary of the Eclectic Insti
tute. Accordingly on Wednesday after
noon glorious rain came to the parched
earth in these parts, rej,icing everybody,
but compelling the Dslphic Society to con-
duct their exercises in the chapel of the In
stitute rather than under the large tent
which had been prepared for the occasions
This obliged large numbers to be absent
from the Anniversary exercises who would
otherwise gladly have attended. Com
mencsment as all know who have had an
alma Mater, brings together the compan-
ions of former yeaIs. Many of the most
delightful memories of the spring time of
life are again renewed, and the heart that
has perhaps been sorrowed and oppressed
with the cares of the world, finds q balm in
the quiet and blessedness OF these early
scenes, that only those can understand who
have enjoyed. During the fifteen years that
the Eclectic has been in existence, no less
than from six to ten thousand young men
and ladies from this and other States have
been within its walls enjoying its advsnt-
ages. The gentlemen and ladies who as
professors and instructors have been ijen-
titled with it in former years, are net, it is
true, all here. Many youns men who gave
up the joys and prospects of a studious life
for the sterner duties of wsr lie buried 10 |
every State once in rebellion. OF those |
who have survived years of desolstiDg war,
some are back again at their work So |
that, though there have been q thousand |
changes in the past few years, the same
old spirit still pervsdes the air. And to-
day, wOich is TO witness the regular COM
mencement exercises of the Academic |
year Just closed, will Therefore witness the |
gathering OF thousands who have coma to |
revive old memories and old aCqusintances.
May they s9d theirs, the Eclectic and its |
friends survive many years to come.
AS before remarked, the rain of yester- |
day compelled the holding Of the Delphic
Anniversary in the Chspsl of the Eclectic.
The hall was insufficient to accommodate |
the crowd, 50 that msny were obliged to
return home. The regular
ORDER OF EXERCISES
for the evening was not observed In eonse-
queneeot the lsteness of the hour the So |
ciety was obliged to begin. The officers
