The Baltimore Episcopal Methodist,
speaking of one of Tilton's trades in the
New York Independcnt, upon the Presidents
Message-tirades which are received in some
portions of the North, as very profound and
learned essays says that it, (the TRADE
aforesaid,) ''can no more be analyzed than
the scream of rheumatic ass % The COM
parison is not complimentary, but just.
The Episcopal Methodist also advises the
New York Observer to continue its exhorta
tions to certain clergymen of the North '' to
restore to clergymen of the South, the books
of which the former had deprived the lat>
ter" during the late war and assures the
Observer that there can be very little ap~
proach to Christ or unity "whilst in the
North, stolen silver glitters on the side-boards
of Church members, and stolen books pro-
claim the curses of God and Man, from the
shelves of ministers y

Gen. Buckner Receivers his Property

In 1861, while the Confederate army was
at Bowling Green, the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company instituted suit ac-
companied by an affidavit by its president,
Mr. Guthrie, that Gen. Buckner had de-
stroyed the splendid bridge which spanned
Green river, and alleged that he being in the
"rebe" army, his property was subject to at
tachmcnt to recover damages. Under the
shameful laws enacted by the Legislature in
1861, the attachments were levied upon all
his estate in Kentucky, consisting of an ele>
giant residence in Louisville house and two
lots in Elizabethtown farm, being his an
cestral home, in Hart county and his library
and furniture, and large amount of other
personal property. Without any process be-
ing served uponhim, "a verdict was obtained ,un-
der the statutes then existing, of more than
S60,000. The residence and the farm were
sold by the Marshal, and purchased by the
railroad company, who paid for it by giving
Gen. Buckner credit on their Judgment
The personal property was also sold and the
amount paid to the railroad. BY his parole,
Gen Buckner, after the war, was not permit
ted to return to Kentucky, but about six
months ago, by attorney, he filed pleading
in the nature of petition and answer, ask
lug to be made a party to the suit, and alleg
ing that he did not destroy the bridge but
had he done so he would be justified by the
laws of war. A re-trial was ordered. Va
rious preliminary questions were decided
against him. The objections we're met by
additional preparation. After two arguments
the case was submitted for final judgment,
but before the chancellor had given his opin-
ion the railroad company agreed to surrender
to Gen. Buckner his property, which they
held and on yesterday Col. r. W. Woolley,
for Gen. Buckner, took possession of the
Louisville estate, and is authorized to enter
upon the Hart County property. 1t was also
agreed that the question of rents and profits
due to Gen. B. and some moneys expended
by the railroad company in removing liens
and making Improvements, should be re-,
ferred for adjustment to the commissioner of
the court to report the accounts between the
parties. and Gen. B: agreed not to institute a
subsequent suit for damages because of the
attachment.
There are many friends of that distin-
euished gentleman who will rejoice to learn
that he has recovered his estate, and every
lover of good government will rejoice that
not only have the spoliations under the shame
ful legislation of 1861 ceased in Kentucky,
but that law and justice are now administer
ed not only to those at home but to exiles
away.-LomsvMc Courier.

The Seven Ancient Wonders.

l. The brass columns of Rhodes one hum
ired and twenty-f feet high, built by Cares, A.
D., 1873, occupying twenty years in making.
1t stood across the harbor of Rhodes sixty
six years, and was then thrown down by an
earthquake 1t was bought by Jew from
the Saracens, who loaded nine hundred camels
with the brass.
q The pyramids of Egypt. The largest
one engaged three hundred and sixty thou>
sand workmen thirty years in building, and
has stood at least three thousand years.
3. The Aqueducts of Rome, invented by
Apius Claudius, the Censor.
4. The Labyrinth of Pasmeticus, on the
banks of the Nile, containing within one con-
tinued wall one thousand houses and twelve
royal palaces, all covered with marble, and
having only one entrance, The building was
said to contain three thousand chambers, and
hall built of marble adorned with statues
of the gods.
5. The Tharos of Alexandra, tower built
by order of Ptolemy Philadelphius, in the
year 282, b. G. 1t was erected as light
house, and contained magnificent galleries
of marble-a large lantern at TIE top, the
light of which was seen nearE a hundred
miles; mirrors of enormous size were fixed
around the galleries, rejecting everything on
the sea. 4 common tower is now erected
in its place.
6. The walls of Babylon, built by order
of Semiramis of Nebuchadnezza, and finish
ed in one year by two hundred thousand men.
They were of immense thickness.
7. The temple of Diana at Ephesns, COM
pleted in the reign of Seryius, sixth king Of
Rome 1t was four hundred and fifty feet
long, two hundred broad, and supported by
one hundred and tWenty-six marble pillars
seventy feet high. The beams and doors
were of cedar, and the rest Of the timber of
cypress. 1t was destroyed BY fire 500 b. e.
ADVERTISING SALES oH PRoPERTY.-The
Lancaster Llteligeneer, in speaking OF the
| importance and great advantage of advertising
sales of property in the newspapers, In addI-
ton to having handbills printed, very truth
fully says:
GA newspaper is read by hundreds who
| never see the attractive bills which are posted
in the taverns and store rooms. Every sub
scriber to country paper reads all such ad-
vertisements carefully. He knows who Is
selling out and exactly what is offered for
sale The advertisements are topic of con-
yersation when friends meet and arra6gements
are made for attending sales. The result is
large crowd, spirited bidding, and Teali-
zation of ten, twenty, or fifty times what it
cost to advertise. No money is so sure to re-
turn large profit as that spent on printers
ink a single additional bidder on single
article will pay all costs to advertise sale
of personal property in newspaper"
