House OF Congress appropriating
money to pay Rufus NJ HOLSTER, of
GAINESVILLE, for s400 in Z 30s acciden-

It appears from the report that
Mr,H bad slowed away these hoods
and $500 in greenbacks in the top
part ofthe stove in his dwelling house,
where strangely enough, they caught
Ere and were consumed, only the
charred remains of the bonds being
left to certify the treasurer of the
loss.

Influence of Popery on a Nation.

Having observed that ''from the
time when the barbarians overran
the Western Empire to the time of
the revival Of letters, the influence of
the Church of Rome had been gen
orally favorable to science, to civiliz.
alton, aud TO good government,
Lord Macaulay thus proceeds:
''But during he last three centu>
ries, to stunt the growth of the hu
man mind has been her chief object
Throughout Christendom whatever
advance has been made in knowledge,
ir freedom, in wealth. in the arts Of
life, has been in inverse proportion
TO her power Whoever, knowing
what Italy and Scotland naturally
are, and what four hundred years
ago they actually were, shall now
compare the country round Rome
with the country round Edinburgh,
will be able to form some judgement
as to the tendency of Papal domino
tion. The descent OF Spain, once the
first among monarchics, to the low
est depth of degradation-the eleva,
ton of Holland, in spite of many
disadvantages, to a. position such as
no Commonwealth so small has ever
reached, teach the same lesson
Whoever passes in Germany from
Roman Catholic to a Protestant prin
cipality in Switzerland, fiom Ro-
man Catholic to Protestant canton
in Ireland, from a Roman Catholic to
a Protestant county, finds that he
has passed from lower to higher
grade Of civilization. On the other
side Of the Atlantic the same law
prevails. She Protestants of the
United States have left behind them
the Roman Catholics Of Mexico, Pes
ru and Brazil The Roman Cathoe
lies Of Lower Canada remain inert,
while the whole continent round them
is in "a ferment with Protestant ac-
tivity and enterprise. The French
have doubtless shown an energy and
an intelligence, which, cen when
misdirected, have justly entitled them
to be called IL great people. But this
apparent exception, when examined
will be found to confirm the rule for
in no country that is called Roman
Catholic has no Roman Catholic
Church, during several generations,
possessed so little authority in
France. y .uacaatdys History of

A Medical Mayor on Smoking.

At the close Of lecture in the
Temperance Hall, Balton, England,
by Mr.. Reynolds, the Mayor, who
presided over the meeting, said -
Much rs | dread the influence of in-
toxicalion on society, OF late | hav G
been led TO regard the influence OF
tobacco, especially upon the youth
OF society, as being an evil that
threatens the most disastrous eonse
quences. The lecturer has told you
that IN his younger days smoking
among youth was scarcely known

iDgamongst young boys and amongst
young women, was almost or alto.

pcrience will tell you whether that
Is SO now or not. | believe that in
the case of young boys-young girls
don't to my knowledge smoke-but
amongst boys ten, eleven, twelve,
and thirteen years, | am afraid that
smoking is too prevalent. The infu>
ence OF this vice to arrest the growth
OF the body is very great. | believe
that person who begins to smoke
at any time under the years Of man
hood will never grow to be a strong
healthy man. He will be stunted IN
bodily grotb, stunted in physical Wig
or, stunted in intellect. Smokers are
preparing for themselves not only
feeble bodies and feeble minds, but
they are preparing for themselves

IN their development don't seem to
be above twelve or thirteen years OF
age. In many cases | ask them if
they are smokers? They very gem
orally deny 1t, but the tainted breath
gives the lie to ther statement. A
great number of stunted children |
believe smoke TO greater or less ex>
tent. This habit leads them also in
many cases to theft. | have been
surprised at the smalIness of the

n@. The Palestine Exploration So
ciety has sent out a second expedi-
ton, from which most interesting re
suits are already received. Besides
survey ing the whole of Phlistia, and
large part cf the Jordan Valley,
and Of NJ oab and Gilead, they have
made excavations in Jerusalem which
promise t. throw much light on its
ancient Typography, and settle many
vrxed questions. Thus the courses Of
the three walls described by Jose>
phus may be traced, and perhaps the
exact site Of the Holy Sepulchre and
Of the Temple may be decided. The
huge stones in the foundation Of the
Temple are being laid bare at the
depth Of ninety feet The pinnacle
Of the Temple" where Christ was
tempted is proved to have an eleva.
tien Of l36 feet and the bridge be-
tween Zion and Moriah-the ascent
by which Solomon went up TO the
House of the Lords proved to have
been more than 1876 feet high, and
may well excite, as it did, the won~
der of the Queen Of Sheba. Many
aqueducts, cisterns, and passages in
the rocks are found beneath the
Temple area, and are expected TO
give valuable help towards knowl-
edge OF the arrangements and servi>
ces of the Temple The visit of the
Sultan to England helped to smooth
the way for these researches

them and informed them that the speak

them and informed them that the speak
ers were not to be interrupted.
Thus matters stood till after the
speaking was over, and the crowd be-
gan to dispense. At this Criswell and
portion of his gang accosted a small
company of Democrats who were on
their way home, but among whom Girls
we'll asserted were those who had
warned him to desist from disturbing
the meeting.
CrisweQ rode into the crowd and
tried to ride over several of the Demo
Gratis. Coming up to one man he drew
club that he carried and aimed blow
at the gentleman's head. The maH see
ing the blow about to fall on his head,
raised his arm and warded off the mis-
sic, and Immediately drew pistol and
shot the chieftan OF the clan. Whe it
is that shot Criswell has not yet been
disclosed.
Now these are the facts of the case as
learned after diligent inquiry. The
candid Republicans in the neighbor-
hood condemn Criswell and his lawless
gang. One Republican woman said
that had it not been for Criswell and
whisky there would have been no dis
turbance. She also said that when the
Republicans wanted to raise a pole the
Democrats turned out and helped them
and went away without making any
disturbance. From the Lakes to the
Gulf it seems to be the desire of the
Radicals to create a disturbance, and
then charge the whole upon the Demo-
Gratis.
The public can see from this how
they strive to manufacture excitement,
and cry out that the Democrats will
not suffer freedom Of thought and ac-
ton, when it is traceable to their own
doors. In order to create startling
sensation, the Radicals arrested two
or three men on yesterday whom they
knew were innocent, but excused them
selves by saying that it was thought
by so doing they could better detect
the guilty party. The whole thing was
paradea in the Intelligencer as though
the Democrats Of Ohio county belonged
to the Ku-Klux.Klan. But in one thing
we most heartily concur with the Intel
ligenoer-"that speedy justice may be
dealt out to the offenders"

brought the following prices: The one
occupied by A. NJ. Burke was purchased
by DR.. E. A Hildreth at $4,000, and the
one occupied by the Messrs. Colts was
purchased by P. C. Hildreth at $4,000.
The dwelling house on Centre street,
now occupied by A. B. Caldwell, Esq,
sold for $4,000. Col. James mckinney
was the purchaser. The late residence
of the deceased, on Market street, was
sold to Frederick Huseman for the sum
of SS375. This constituted the sale OF
the real estate. The personal property
is yet to be disposed of.

RUNAwAY.-On yesterday morning as
a market man was about starting for
home he left his horse and wagon stand
ing at the head of the alley that leads
from the lower end of the Fifth Ward
Market to Main street. He left his dog
in the wagon and went into Renners
Hotel for something. While in there
the horse took fright at something and
started off down the alley as fast as he
could. Just before he reached Main
street the market wagon came in con-
tact with Mr.. Rust's bakery wagon
which threw the market wagon over
upsetting everything generally. APP
pies, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, and
in fact everything in the wagon was
spilled out. No damage was done
however. The dog had fixed his fore,
feet on the side of the wagon bed, and
at the first indication of an upset
sprang ont on the ground. The COLI
sion and the overturning of the Wagon
caused the horse to stop, and he wa
readily managed.

IMPROVEMENT IN ORGANs.-After a
long and patient experiment, the emf
nent firm of Mason & Hamlin have
made important and valuable improve
ments in their Cabinet Organs, which
however, do not add to their cost. The
exteriors of their cheapest instrument Is
now vie with the handsomest cases
made by other makers, and certainly
surpass them in many respects. while
the fancy cases far exceed any other ef'
fort. In the interior of the instruments
however, the greatest change has taken
place. The tone is sweeter than ever,
the mechanism is absolutely perfect,
and to crown all, their new For HUI
mana Tremolo is creating great s0nsa'
ton in musical circles. 1t is a perfect
imitation of the human voice, and has
a capacity for expression which can
only be appreciated by hearing the
splendid new stock receiving at Sheib's
Music Store. Go and hear them, then
buy.
