nifty had betallen the crops in France, which
had looked very promisingly.
Both in England and France the old crons of
grain have been very much reduced, and the
Express says that this holds true of the rest of
Europe. In Spain, Italy, and Algeria the
drought has been extremely damaging to the
crops. To make the matter worse for these
countries, the last shipments from Southern
Russia have been received.

A Singular Occurrence-A Vessel De-
serted on the ocean.

A correspondent of the Gazette, of the Rus
sian Academy, writing from Archangel, says
that the slow approach of summer this year has
0ccasiohed disastrous consequences to number
of vessels which are accustomed to visit that
port. He then mentions the following extra
ordinary circumstances attending the arrival of
q ship:-
On Juue 26 there arrived vessel, the captain
of which declared, at the Custom House. that
he neither knew its owner, whence it came, nor
its destination. The captain, an Englshman, of
the name Of TurPf, made the following deposi-
tion:-0n June II quilted the port of Tramsoe
on the English ship Eident, bound for Archangel
On June 18 the course OF the vessel was ob-
structed by fields of ice to such degree that
she could not be extrcated.
On the following daY the Eident had suffered
so many reverses that she was in danger OF
foundering, and the Captain and all hands
would have perished had it not been for the ap-
proach of the English ship Industry, on board
OF which they were taken by Captain Macbeth.
On going on board nothing was saved from the
Eident. Twenty-tour hours subsequently the
Industry hailed ship moving along in full SAIL
No response was given, as not soul could be
discovered on her deck. The strange vessel,
which proved to be the Da Capo, had seven and
half feet of water in her hold, but had suffered
NO other damage.
Captain Turef and his crew were transferred
on board, after having pumped out the water
and continued their voyage until they arrived
at Archangel. ALI that can be learned of the
mysterious vessel is confined to its name
Whether 1t had been abandoned, or had beer
the scene OF some terrible maritime drama
nobody knows, no document having been fount
on board giving any clue to Its ownership
Strange to say, there was sufficiency of pro

Higher and higher he rose every year, until he had gained position from which he could look down upon the proud planter. Wealth came to him, too. When the great struggle for in- dependence dawned, he was in his prime, a happy husband, and one of the most distinguished men in Ameri- ca.

Manifestations of Food.

The times and principles of men arc so out of joint, that when we sit down to a table and suppose we are eating a particular dish, the chances arc ten to one that we are not eating that at all, but are eating something else, unless we are partaking of some native pro- duet. of which we know everything such as our own vegetables, fruits, and fresh meats. Eggs have not yet been counterleited but as to milk, where is any in our large cities that is not a mixture? A hundred mixtures make our ground coffee, and our tea is mad c over after it has been used at the tables of hotels. There is substance called terra alba, or white earth, brought from Ireland for two and half cents a pound, which enters largely into many of our confections; and when sugar costs from l6 to 20 cents a pound, the temptation to adulterate is scarcely to be resisted by unprincipled shopkeep- CTS. The body of candies. lozenges
 
 and almonds, are made of this in many cases, as it is whiter than plaster, and is largely used in the adulteration of flour. In one ounce of lozengcs, two- thirds of the weight, when dissolved in water, was nothing but this white earth, and the lozenge did not contain an atom of sugar of any kind. Gum Arabic is too costly for pure gum drops to be made to advantage, so a substitute is made which, although it is beautiful to look at, is very poison ous. Liquorice drops are made for the trade of the poorest Kind of sugar and lamp-blaek, and merely favored with liquorice. Twenty parts of liquoriee and eighty per cent. of white earth is dextrously mixed and sent to the South and Westas pure liquorice. Ira ders do not hesitate to use the most virulent poisons to make pickles ap- pear fresh and green; while it is nos torious fact that skilled persons can by q combination of drugs make almost any liquor known, and which will so nearly resemble the taste of the true article that experts are deceived. To escape the imposition it is not suffi- cient that a man have the utmost con- iidenee in his grocer, for he too may be profoundly deceived. Let every family hayc the coura0e to make its own bread, 10 prepare its vinegar, to brew its own beer, and express its own wines, if they must be had; to buy it's own coffee in its green state to put away'its own sweetmeats; and as to every compound article of food which comes to the table, let it do it. own mixing.-I Watehnian and Re Hector,

The Folly of Cruelty.

A feW years ago the English Reviews
 and Blue Books were filled with &C.,
 counts of the model prisons of England.
 The best and most humane intellects
 were directed to making convicts con-
 fortable and many of us recollect the
 famous cartoon in Punch of the Gov ernor of Newgate waiting obsequious- Fly upon murderer, and with the smirks and bows of a well-bred butler expressing the hope that the turbot and venison were cooked to his satis- faction and that his wines were well iced. And when Mir. Carlyle visited, ten years ago, one of these model ho- tels for the criminal classes, he is said to have cried out in his anger that no Duke in England was lodged, tended, fed and taken care with such perfec- tions as the felons therein confined The accounts which reach us of the merciless brutality with which the Fenian prisoners were treated, shows that the benevolent fever has worn it. self out, and Mr. Carlyle would be much better satisfied with the present order of things. The comforts of prison life in England are now confined to murders, for the state of political prisoners lie hard and work hard and the crank and the tread-mill again work as merrily as when poor Otway described Satan as visiting Newgate, and declaring that he should remodel his own establishment in exact imita- ton of that prison.
 If the account before Us is true, the unhappy Irishmen who have fallen into the clutches of the English authorities are having hard time of it. The food given to the poor Fenians is filthy and disgusting and always insufficient :; men suffering from painful diseasesare compelled to work at the hardest la Dor; and favorite punishment con sists in depriving a man of his flannels in mid winter; that officers brutally maltreat q wretched convict who, be- ing almost blind, cannot perform the work of others; and that the most trivial offenses. Indeed, the famous Leads of Venice must have been a Paradise compared with Portland, the place where the Fenian convicts are kept at hard labor and the fate of Sil- vio Pellico happier one than that of the Fenian convict of 1867. This sort of treatment never yet extinguished the fires of rebellion. Does any one imagine that the cruelty practiced up- Irish ioye Ee66 t6e EaYbs EnaYisbs ore wil tGan thev do at present? The Leads of Venice did not eNtinguish the Carbonari, nor have the knout and Siberia killed the spirit of Poland. ~
 Great severity never yet detcrred Irishmen from that resistance to op- pression which tyrants call rebellion" Nothing has so much tended to pro- mote disaffection in Ireland as the fact that each generation canonizes the memory of q patriot martyrcd by the English courts.
 flogging, shooting, hanging, banish- ment and imprisonment, during the i;sst six centuries, have produced only hasyests of rebellion. And thus it will always be in all countries and among all nations.

A Crisis in the Repuhlic.

Montesquieu tells us that ''iu tn,
 birth of societies it is the chiefs of tho
 republic who form the institution, an6 Tn the sequel it is the institution whicl
 forms the chiefs of the republic.p Tc certain extent this is doubtless true
 Thus while in one sense we may regard such patriots and statesmen as Webster
 Calhoun, and Clay as the legitimate creation of the beneficent government and liberal institutions established by the founders of our republic, we can. not, by the most violent stretch of the imagination, trace the origin of dema- gogues and fanatics, such as Sumner
 Wade, and Stevens to so onoble source. And yet there is no denying the fact that the latter, sectional and essentially unrepublican in their views as they un- questionably are, measured by the old constitutional standard, are the domi- nant power in the existing government, the chiefs DE FAcTo of the so-called re- public of the United States.
 On the assumption that the apothegm of Montesquieu is axiomating this con dition ofthings is decidedl y anomalous and it would seem that the only satis- factory solution of the difficulty is to be found in the theory that, the repub- lie of our fathers having already ceased to exist by reason of the destructive effects of abolition fanaticism, a new government essentially sectional and despotic in its character is in process of formation. And certainly the open contempt and entire disregard of the constitutional provisions and traditions Of government forming the basis of our system, manifested in all the acts of those who have had control of pub lie affairs for the last six years, taken in conjunction with the no less omin- ous and significant attempt to change the form of government by gradual de- grees so as to conform to their present and past action, tends, to say the least, to give plausibility to the theory.
 It were well for the American peo- pie to examine carefully, before it is forever too late, the system for which the present ''ehiefs of the republics arc bartering off the free government in- herited from our fathers We think there are few who in their hearts will fail to agree with us flat system of which unprincipled political charlatans like those constituting the congression- al majority are the legitimate repre-
 sentatives, does not promise to com birth to patriotic officials to whom the welfare of the nation was the first and highest consideration, and produced an array of statesmen whose brilliant oratory was unsurpassed in the history of the world. If thepeople would not have our form of government changed, as the administration under it has al- ready been changed to conform to the anti-republiean views of intolerant, selfish and mprincipled leaders, they must speedily take action in the prem ises by disposeessing such false and treacherous leaders. and substituting in their stead honest and faitn..ul men, who will restore affairs to the condition In which they were placed by the e'cliefs of the republic' who formed our insti- tutions. Not until this is done will there be any security for constitutional liberty Louisville Courier. tl.
