A LIBERAL CATHOLIC PREAcHER.-The
religious community of Paris, has been
strangely agitated of late by new preacher
called Father Hyacinthe. The ablest speak
ers of the two Chambers, the most celebrated
judges, the most renowned writers, crowded
to listen to his eloquence. Father Hyacinthe
according to a writer in the London Times
is member of the order of bare-footed Car
melites, the reformed branch of the original
Carmelites, named from Mount Carmel, and
who claim their descent from Elijah. He is
remarkable for his liberal opinions in politi-
cal, and his tolerance in religious matters.
In his recent sermons at Notre Dame, Father
Hyacinthe confined himself mainly to the
task of combating the delusion that morality
can take the place of religion, or exist inde-
pendent Of it. A devout adherent of the
7, P9ps As bead Of the Church, he drew
and his spiritual authority. For perfect
liberty of conscience he contended eloquent
ly. He stigmatised persecution for conscience
sake as an odious crime. If it has sometimes
been allotted to the sword to defend Justice
and weakness, and uphold religious faith
against assault from heather powers it can
not be its part to inspire in people the faith
which they reject. "The wise man." he said,
should proportion the means to the end
and this end is faith, conviction, and the free
adhesion ofthe mind and the heart. Do you
desire and do you believe that the sword can
obtain such an object 1t is madness, but it
is also crime because if there be, next to
the majesty of God, majesty which is invi-
olable, 1T is the majesty ofman's conscience"

The OLD NEGRO AND THE PRESIDENT
The Washington Union is responsible for the
following:
As part of the res-gestG of the Twenty
second, and as belonging to the varied
sights and emotions of the day, we give the
following rich scene which occurred at the
headquarters of Sergeant Ecklofe of the
Seventh Precinct, City Hail. Present, the
sergeant, his clerk. and a old negro man
named George, a sort of sexton of the build
ing.
His Excellency the President ofthe United
States, escorted by Mayor Wallach and other
distinguished functionaries of the District,
are discovered by the sergeant as they alight
from the carriage and enter the building as
if they were going to the room occupied by
the Criminal Court.
Sergeant: Look, Georgel be quick
that's the President"
Negro: "Whar whar's he goin'-I ::say,
whar's he gwine?" much excited.
Sergeant: "Going to court, l suppose,
George"
Negro: "GloryI gloryi fore God
knowed it. just hearn a white gentmen
readin' bout dat veto he done. | knowed
they was gwine to have him fore de court
Thank God for dat, l say %
The countenance of the old negro bright
ened up, and sure enough he was convinced
that the President had just been arrested for
vetoing the negro bill, and was being carried
to court by Mayor Wallach.

NJ principally from deserfers from the rebel army
They ran away from the rebel army after volun-
teering to fight in ii, and came home and made it
their business TO consume and destroy what the
defenseless women and children Of those who we've
in the army had to subsist upon. Since the war
closed. these lawless men have not ceased their
outrageous course. They have defed the power
and authority Of the law. and have retired TO
q place called Mine Lick. in Putnam
county. and notified the officers Of the law that
they viii not be taken. At this place they carry
distiIIery. and drink and sell liquor, without
paying the Government tax and go out on expe-
ditions Of violence and plunder. They are no
respectors Of persons. but the Union man and the
rebel fares alike at their hands. They abuse
them and their families-ride their horses into and
through the houses in the midst Of famiIes-go
into parlors and break up furniture.-and often
take grey haired men into the woods and whip
them with limbs and brush. which has in several
instances produced the death Of honest and quiet
citizens.
They still going on in this way. and the
quiet and peaceful peopls up there are subject to
their inhuman treatment at any and all times
These outrageous proceedings have been borne
without complaint for months. They now want
protection, and if they cannot get it, they must
protect themselves. They ask Gov Brownlow to
give them protection 10 authorize them, By his
Official proclamation. to put an end 10 their
troubles by their own power. IF Gov. Brownlow
has not heard of these things. tell him now that
they exist 10 my own knowledge. and I can give |
him the names Of any nnmber of honest and good |
men who will testify oath to all that is here said
and much morer If this government is just and |
impartial one. such things enght not 10 pass longer
unnotced. These people are loyal and true to the
government. and are for peace and good |
order and morality-and they appeal for re-
lief and protection. If they cannot get it from
officers of the Government they must take it
into their own hands. Any consequences that
might follow would be better than tame submis-
sion 10 these inhuman outrages. The people look /
to Gov. Brownlow as their governor and pro-
tector, and they implore him to take notice Of
their condition, and give them the benefits Of the
power Of the State in keeping order and punish
ing crime.

been written to by the good and orderly people up
there, to see if something could not be done for
their relief I have therefore, presented the facts
as mildly as they can be stated and earnesly So

their behalf JAMES OGLEsBY.

A CORRESPONDENT from New Madrid,
Mo-, to the Memphis Argus, says that the re-
cent difficulty al that place between the
whites and blacks, originated in the fact that
an ex-Federal soldier killed : negro, with
whom he had some difficulty.
The negroes met and formed 3 company
TO massacre all the white population. The
citizens got word of the matter and prepar-
ed for the worst.
On Sunday night the negroes commenced
BY firing several'shots into a house, one ball
narrowly missing a young girl in the act Of
praying.
The citizens, tive hundred in number,
upon the first signs Of an outbreak, charged
upon the negroes and captured three Of the
leaders two of whom they shot, and hung
the other.

SHoEING HORSES THAT OvERREAcH.-
1t is very annoying to ride or drive horse
that is constantly pounding his fore-shoes
with his hind ones 1t is click, click, all
the time We have had number of horses
with this fault-but latterly have been able
to cure them, or greatly benefit them, by a
popularity of shoeing. Make high heel
calks on the fore feet and very low toe-calks,
standing little under, and the shoe setting
well backward. The fore-foot, thus managed,
will fall over, and be sooner out of the way
Of the hind foot. On the hind foot make
the heel-calk low, and the toe-calk high, pro-
jecting forward. If these directions are fol-
lowed, the horse will travel clear, and the
habit will soon be broken up.

The Louisville Democrat referring to the
various uses to which petroleum is being
applied, says:
We have already spoken in these columns
Of the petroleum vapor stove, now on exhi-
bition in this city. Hundreds of curious
continue to visit and to be struck by its
wonderful labor and money-saving qualities.
To warm house in winter to furnish fuel
for cooking, and the most beautiful gas
lights, all without smoke, odor or taste. with
out labor, and at an almost inappreciabie
cost, are desiderata of economy well calcu-
lated TO strikethe attention of housekeepers
But it would seem that, while invention
had reached its acme of triumph,
when it has done all that could be wished
or of economy and usefulness in light
ing and warming, we do not doubt that
discovery is only on the threshold of the
uses 10 which this singular fluid may be
put Already the inventor we have mem
toned is beginning to experiment with the
heat evolved from the burning kerosene and
atmospheric air, as applicable to generating
steam, and we see no reason why he should
not succeed. A little Jet Of petroleum gas
from an ori6ce fthe size of q lady's COM
mon needle, that gives out a heat to melt
glass in few seconds, it is reasonable to
suppose, might be used to heatsteam boilers
and drive ships. The weight and bulk of
fuel have been the great drawback to ocean
steam navigation. What revolution would
be created if the fuel of ship across the
ocean should be carried in the compass Of
dozen barrels Discoveries are so rapid and
wonderful, in this age, that it is hard to
keep up with them. They cause US to rub

THE APPROACH OF CHOLERA.

We observe statement that a quarantine
of twenty-five days has been established, by
military order, at New Orleans in respect to
all vessels from tho West Indies A qnaran-
tine mas aIav been established at the Texan
ports. We see no reason to doubt the neces-
sity for the action. Cholera has been for
some time ravaging Guadal9upe, and its
advent nearer TO us might have been ex-
pected at any time. Now that precautions
are judged necessary at New Orleans,
prompt action would seem desirable else
where. The authorities will no doubt do
their duty, but there is much more to be
effected than they can possibly undertake.
1t is not in lodging or tenement houses alone
that dangerous negligence may be suffered.
The general cleanliness of dwellings of all
kinds must be attended to by their occu-
pants; there may be many a splendid resi-
dence the basement of which is a terra IN
cognita except to servants, and many filthy
nuisance may exist of which the drawing
room has no idea.
( The severity or otherwise of the attack in
store for us may be very much regulated by
strict personal supervision by the heads of
families, and the sooner that is commenced
the better.
We would add that those who suppose
that cholera is only possible in hot weather
are very much mistaken. The disease may
spread in comparatively cool seasons. In
November of last year diaTh9 was unusu-
ally prevalent in London, while there were
several fatal cholera cases in other parts of
England about the same time. Hot weather
tends to the disengagement of malarious
gases from the earth, or collections of i'm
purity, but this is the case in less degree
at all times. Whatever measures are to be
taken both by the official powers and pri-
vate individuals may as well, therefore, be
taken at once --New York Times

CRINoLINE CONG OUr.-If Paris is still
destined to give the law inmatters of female
attire, says the Pail Mall Gazette, the days of
crinoline are numbered. The doubling
Pafisienne is gradually abandoning that
much abused Institution. For morning
dresses the iron cage is still used as q neces-
sary adjunct to the looped-up skirt, which
it serves to keep high and dry out Of the
