Wonderful Story.

The ST. Louis Times has II circumstancial ac-
count OF the discovery of n rev and remarkable
group Of islands, thrown up by an earthquake.
The body OF the island-consists Of solid diamonds,
while inside the circular Queensland walls were
u number Of huge loose diamonds the smallest of
which weighs 200 tons ORe island 40 miles long
by 10 wide is composed entirely of pure emerald
The captain and crew discovering it were unable
to bring any of the precious stones away as they
had no blasting instruments capable of drilling
diamonds but are organizing parties to return
with such instruments.
Tire JriIiaat genius who tells this story, fear
ing,-without cause, we think, that some prcde-
cessor may have eclipscd him, adds postscript,
stating that the entire bottom of the sea seemed
to glitter with gems for at least five miles from
the sea. He adds by way of caution:-" These
will prubaoly never be of use, for they must be
huge rocks Of diamonds, and cannot be detached
unless some better mode of blasting under water
than that already practccd can be invented"
| The correspondent offers no speculations as to
the effect this discovery whavc on the price of di-
almonds now owned and highly valued, and neitli-
er we fear do the expcditionists give this yirw of
| the subject sufficient attention.
J We had thought that the Mexican newspapcri,ts
account of duel with locomotives on single
track, IN Tennessee, was the finest production ir
Its linz this aye could produce, but that st. Loui
man beats him. We hope the Times will detail
him as a correspondent t, accompany the cxpe-
dition.

RELIGIOUS TOPICS.

The Seventh Baptist church in Bali-
more, Rev. Dir, Fuller pastor, numbering
over 1000 members, are about dividing, a
portion remaining at the old home and the
rest joining a new organization
The new organization intend erecting a
magnificent place of worship estimated TO
cost $200,000. One gentleman interested in
the enterprise gives the lot and subscribed
$4,000 toward the ediIice.
The architect is Mr.. Il. U. Walter, the
architect of the Capital extension at Wash
ington.
1t will doubtless be one of the finest church
edfices in America. The Baptists of Balti-
more are in ilourishing condition general
ly.
The extra meetings at Bethel, Smyrna
Circuit, closed last week, with about 90 con-
versions at Serverson's from 80 to 40 con-
versions were recorded Extra meetings
commence at Friendship next Sunday.
The congregation of st. Andrews LII
theran Chhrch, in Philadelphia, having SC
cured the lot al the southwest corner of
Broad and Arch streets, will commence on
the opening of the comisg spring the erec-
tion of u handsome ediiice, of Henderson
marble, In the Gothic style of architecture.
The Chicago Tribunc says there is a
rumor, said to be well authenticated, that
DIR. John McNIullen, pastor of st. Paul's Ro-
man Catholic Church in that city, who went
to Rome some months ago to prosecute an
appeal against Bishop Duggan, has so far
succeeded in his mission that the controversy
between the Bishop and his clergy has been
| taken up at Rome, where all the parties con-
ccrned have been summoned to appear and
be heard before that supreme tribunal of the
| Church.
The Roman Catholic Church at New
York is very active now in the missionary
work. A mission just held there in one ol
the churches for five weeks has resulted, il
is stated, in the conversion and reception
into the Church Of fifty persons Of other re-
ligious faiths. During the continuance o
the mission the Eucharist was administered
to nine thousand women and six ihotispnt
i men.

dlsmay they discovered, on arriving, what
they had not previously dreamed, that the
institution was Eclectic" Miss Adamson
hcsitated. Her uncles were practitioners
strictly of the regular school. But their col
leges were closed against her, and she was
obliged to accept this as the only one avail
able. Electicism was then in its infancy,
and the textbooks used in the institution
were the same standard works as those used
in universities of the regular stripe.
In 1851 Miss Adamson finished her course
with honor, and received the degree of doc
tor Of mcdcine-the second one conferred
upon woman. In April Of the same year
she returned to Philadelphia, and spent a
year as physician in Blockley Hospital
Then she married DR.. l.. G. Dolley, of Ro-
chester N. Y, and removed thither, where
she still resides. The article says:-
The reader is not for moment to enter
tain the idea that in marriage the medical
career of this brave woman eliminated, or
rather terminated. For sixteen years she
has enjoyed wide and extensive practice,
full Of interest and usefulness eneed on
ly add that Mrs. Dolley has exempliiied her
fitness for wife and motherhood as fully as
she did her fitness for medical pioneer;
which is praise enough

The Postmaster Generals report furnishes
full and clear exhibit of the operations and
condition of the postal service. The ordina
ry postal revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1868, was 1916, 202, 600, and the to-
tai expenditures, embracing all the service
tor which special appropriations have been
made by Congress, amounted to $22, 730, ,592,
showing an s,ofexpenditureso of So, 49,
99l. Deducting from the expenditures the
sum of 81 1896, 525, the amount of appropri-
ations for ocean steamship and other special
service, the excess Of expenditures was 3d.,
54l ,4GG. By using an unexpended balance
in the Treasury of $3,S00,000, the actual
sum for which special appropriation is re-
quircd to meet the deficiency is $T4l ,4GG.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
He refers to Minister Washburn and Para
quay, and our offer of mediation between
Spain and the Western Republics of South
America. Our relations with Mexico are
more confidential; Costa Rica wants reci-
procity of trade; negotiations are pending
for ship canal aci oss the lsthmus of Darien.
He has been obliged to ask explanation and
satisfaction for national injuries committed
by the President of Hayti.
ACQUISITION OF TERRITORY.
7 he purchase Of Alaska twas made with
''thc view of extending national jurisdiction
''and republican principles in the American
hemisphere" The ST. Thomas treaty is still
before the Senate; st. Domingo and Cuba
will probably be ready for annexation, soon;
a reciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Is
lands would bring them ultimately into our
arms.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
He repeats his recommendations of last
July for amendments to the National Con-
stitution, as follows -
|. For an election of President and Vice
President by direct vote of the people, IN
stead Of through the agency of electors, and
making them ineligible for reelection to
second term
2. For distinct designation ofthc person
who shall discharge the duties of President,
in the event of a vacancy in that office by
the death, resignation, or removal of both
the President and Vice President.
8 For the election of Senators Of the
United States directly by the people of the
several States, instead of by the Legislatures.
and
4. For the limitation to period of years
of the terms of Federal iud res.

The Louisville Courier gives the follow
ing incident of the recent disasters on the
Ohio river:- &
A gentleman with his sister, u lovely and
accomplished young lady, were passengers
on tile United Staies At the first shock
the gentleman was thrown from his bed
clear on the floor. Hastily pulling on his
pantalonns he rushed to the stateroom of
his sister, burst open the door, and, seizing
her in his arms carried her down on the
main deck, where, procaring door shutter,
he threw it overheard and leaped after it,
with his sister in his arms. He placed her
securely ON the shutter and was swimming
behind, pushing it, with his precious load,
toward the shore, when, to his horror, a
big, bufly able-bodied man swan up, push
ed his sister off the board and climbed upon
1t himself. The young girl sank with a
scream and if she came to the surface 1t
was so dark and the confusion so great that
he could not find her NIaddencd at the
dastardly act he made after the author, and
seizing him by the throat, a struggle to the
death cnsued They rose and sunk toge,h-
er, still struggling, and when last seen were
graphing with each other. Whether either
was saved or both went down together is
not known. The sister sank beneath the
waves and was lost, but she was terribly
avenged by her brother.
