Singular Confrnxersy.

The Reformed Jews of WilIiamsburgb
have established new congregation by
the name of Ahdpas Achim. Last Sat.
urday they dedicated their Sepher Tore,
or Book of the Law, at the hall on the
corner of Meserole and Even streets.
Rev. DR.. Mayer delivered the address.
The reformers were much elated at their
success in establishing a congregation,
and the Jeioish Times declares that ''the
stagnsnt pools of the middle ages are
stirred to their lowest depths" Their
orthodox rivals appear TO have been
scandslized by their conduct, and the
Jeicish Messenger accuses them of hav-
ing broken the Sabbath ia having their
exercises on Saturday, aud of irrever-
snce and PROCLAMATION 10 displaying them
before the public. 1t is evident that be-
fore long the apathy between the two
parties will be as bitter as any which
ever characterised the Jewish sects of
old, ss we'll as religionists of our own

AfOrganaiic Marriages.

The recent morganatlo marriage OF
Dom Fernando, King Consort of the late
Queen Marie III, and father Of the reign
ing King Of Portugal, with an American
lady named Hensler, has attracted much
attention in this country, and been
widely noticed in the journals of the
metropolis, and, as q consequence, widely
copied elsewhere. Some Western papers
have glowingly exulted over the great
success achieved by this American bride,
and alluded to similar instances, as the
marriage of Prince Louis de Bourbon,
etc., all of which are calculated to set
the susceptible hearts and ambitious as
pirations of our American bellies in
fever of emulation.
Morganatic marriages are peculiarly
exclusively pertaining to princes of the
blood, heirs apparent to the thrones OF
Europe, or like the latest one OF ex kings
in retirement, and waiting for employ
ment. The present Emperor Of France
is said to have been morgsuatically mar
ried. The Fitz Clarences, Of England,
are issue of morganatic marriage of the
Duke Of Clarence, afterwsrd William
". And it is matter of gossip in
London that the Prince Of Wales was in
that manner married 10 the aaugnter OF
an Irish clergyman prior 10 ais b'nance
with the House OF Denmark, and tnat
the issue OF the marriage was son. but
in all these instances, these morgsnet'c
wives have been set aside for those who
had noble blood flowing through their
veins. -.

The Canadian Scare.

The Montreal Neps says: 1--WE under.
stand on good authority that secret eff
fort has lately been made on the part of
certain Fenian leaders to induce the
rank and file of that organization to
again venture upon raid into Canada.
A portion of them were to have been first
sent into the country by twos and threes,
and meeting by appointment at certain
points in some of the larger towns of On
tario, to try and do a little in the way of
incendiarism and assassination, while q
formidable vmed force crossed the bor-
der. The Die plan, we are informed,
was made known to Mr.. Thornton, who
at once communicated with the Domin-
ion authorities. We do not believe there
is much ground for anticipating another
Fenian raid, but it is gratifying to know
that the plans of these miscreauts are
known to our government almost as soon
as they are laid"

A New Wonder "A Revolution I'm
steam Engines.


The Jersey City Times has a descrip
ton of machine, now in operation in
that city, which, it is claimed, is destined
to work revolution in one department
of mechanical industry, namely, a steam
engine, which, with one quarter of the
weight, and occupying one quarter the
space required for an ordinary ten.horse
engine, will give the same power, with
twenty-five per cent. less fuel. This little
machine sets at defiance all preconceived
notions on the subject. Its motive power
is all contained within the circumference
Of broad, stout wheel, about three feet
in diameter. revolving upon hollow
shaft, which receives the steam and
delivers it alternately into two opposite
reciprocal cylinders, and fixed between
the center and periphery. The power,
therefore, instead of being at the center,
presents the singular anomaly of being at
the circumference. Or, in other words,
the true center of power is at the peri
phery of the Wheel To use a familiar
simile, the wheel is like the band or
drum of squirrel cage, in which two
squirrels were consentaneously, one in
the usual position the other in the oppo-
site, but with head down, aud with mo-
ton similar to that of fly walking on
the ceiling-both, of course, in continu-
ally reversing positions as the wheel
turns. 1t is an application of the simple
principle by which, as any one can see,
a grindstone may easily be turned by
placing the hand upon its surface, while
only with considerable muscular exsrtion
a man hand grasping the shaft can pro.
duce the same motion.

M0rmonism Going 10 Pieces : The
Sons OF Joseph smith Propose TO
DisestabIish POlygamy-The Wrath
From the Salt Lake Reporter.l
A few days ago we mentioned the fact
that William Alexander and David
Hyrum, the younger sons Of Joseph
Smith, the Mormon Prophet, we're on
their way to Salt Lake City to set up the
standard of the recognized or anti
polygamy church. A singular interest
attaches to the name of David Hyrum.
A few months before Joseph's death, be
was to lead this people, but of Emma
Smith should be born son who would
succeed in the Presidency, after season
of disturbance" Joseph Smith was
killed June 9th, 1874. and the son,
named from his fathers direction David
Hyrum, was born at the Mansion House,
in Nauvoo, on the seventeenth of the
succeeding November. This prophecy
is secretly dear to thousands of Mormons
who are weary of the tyranny of Brigham
Young, and yet hold to their faith in
Joseph Smith. A few days ago the young
men reached Salt Lake City, and soon
called upon Brigham Young and an.
nounced their intention to organize their
church at once, asking permission to
defend their faith in the Tabernacle, pro-
posing TO argue with the Brighamites
from the original Mormon books. We
have but scaut reports of the interview,
but it is said to have been very warm.
Brigham was very angry at their pre-
sumption and denied them the use of the
Tabernacle, sending word at the same time
to the Bishops to shut them out of the
ward meeting The brothers, at
one point of their conversation, denied
that their father ever practiced polygamy,
citing their mothers testimony, to which
Brigham reported that their mother was
liar, and had been proven thief" with
much more of the sort. Be it remem-
bered that the lady thus spoken of is the
Electa Cyria or Elect Lady OF God, "
in Mormon theology, who was the glory
of their early history Like Pope Pagan,
of the Pilgrims Progress" Brigham
doubtless gnaws his nails iu vain rage
that he cannot, as in former times, let
loose the vengeance of his Nauvoo legion
upon these sectarians, and crush the re-
bellion in blood. If his power we're now
equal to his feelings we should have
repeated the story of the Morrisites,
when a high civil functionary Of Utah
led the legion in broad day to slaughter
the men and women who had surrendered
themselves prisoners But nothing more
than petty persecution will be attempted
at this late day, and we earnestly hope |
the young men will succeed in their
enterprise. OF their religious principles
ss opposed to Brighamism we know but
little, but recognise in them tolerant
men, good citizens and loyal subjects Of
the limited States.

General Robert L. Lees Political
m Views.

Referring to the report that Governor
elect Walker, of Virginia, had invited
General Lee to attend a conference On
political matters, the Lynchburg Vfrgin.
ian says:
We can assure our contemporary that
there is no danger that General Lee will
do a foolish act He is no politician,
and has no idea, we believe, of embark.
ing upon such stormy and uncertain
sea. That he is sincerely devoted to the
interests of Virginia, no man can doubt.
That be desires reconstruction, and
would advise bis people to put themselves
into practical relations with the Federal,
or, as it is now called, the national gov
srnment, we have every reason to believe
But he will not enter into any conclsve
of politicians. The people would not
desire it, even if General Lee were will
ing to compromise his present position
to crafty that wish. 1t is proper to add,
in this connection, that there is no reason
ID believe that such a meeting as that re-
ferred to was ever uggested-perhaps not
thought of-by Governor Walker.

The lady was Miss Hensler, and with
the King, was about to take her usual

She appeared to be twenty-eight or thirty

we returned to Lisbon.
A night or two afterward we attended
the Grand Opera House. The royal box
was occupied by the King, his youngest
brother, and by Dom Fernando. Next to
the royal box was that of the Ministers of
the Crown, several of whom we're present
in their uniform. The King was in the
uniform of q Field Marshal.
Dom Fernando had no eyes for the
opera, bn. his giascss, ssids Of his glass,
were directed continuously to box
nearly opposite, but in higher tier.
Here was seated Miss Hensler, the ex-
Kings chere annie. Between the two
constant sigma communicated their
thoughts, which were laughable to be-
hold. This continued during most of the
performance, and was noticed by most
of the audience.
1t appears that Miss Hensler had been
an opera singer, and while performing at
Lisbon had attracted the attention of the
lonely ex-King, and q mutual engage
meut soon followed.
1t is altogether probsble that the court
scandal attending this iason for the past
three or for years, and the desire on the
part of Miss Hensler to mix in court So
ciety, from which she had hitherto been
excluded, has impelled the ex-royal de-
bauchee to enact the farce of morgsnatic
marriage.
There has been rumor of late that
Dom Fernando might be called to the
throne Of Spain, in which event this
inorganic bride would be as ruthlessly
thrust aside for marriage detat, for
which there are many precedents.
We are inclined to the opinion that |
our American bellies will not be much at
tracted, or 60 in ecstscies over this mes
alliance, or, as it is conveniently termed,
m morRanatic marriage.

How the Fund will be Used.

SrAUNroN, Va, July 10, 1869.
Hon. R. M. Lusher:
MY DEAR SIR-The trustees have de-
cided to cooperate with State systems of
public instruction) as far as possible.
We hope to do so with Louisiana, and l
see no great difficulty, if the two races
are placed in separate schools. believe
there are no mixed schools in Florida,
South Carolina, North Carolina, or any
other State, nor can l suppose that Lou
isiana will venture on SO bold an experi-
ment. If, under the State law, no schools
are maintained but such as are attended
by colored children, or il. virtually, the
colored children, and they alone, ore pro-
vided for by law, we must look particu-
larly after the white children. On ma
king our arrangement with towns our
Judgment must be guided, first, by the
amount raised by the people; secondly,
by the population to be provided for.
Oar contribution is not charity to poor
children, but an encouragement to CON-
munities. The people must contribute
something-say three-fourths or more, OF
the amount needed to support free pub
lie school in their midst, aud a certain
number Of children to be provided for
should also be reported, so that we may
know what supplementary aid is required,
each year, to render the school permanent
and successful. Both the trustees and
Mr.. Peabody are warmly attached to our
plan as it now is, particularly TO that fea-
ture of it which relates to public schools.
| cannot vet say, however, what amount
can be granted the coming year. If we
can work more advantageously in Lou.
isiana than elsewhere, we can justly and
wisely do more there than we could 9TH
erwise; but If the children for whom we
provide will not attend the schools, we
must withdraw cur aid and bestow it else
where. wish you to exercise wise dis
crstion in this matter. b pleased to let
the people know that the way in which
they use our contribution one year will
determine the question whether II shall
be erenewed. Everything is on probation
this is our great security. If the people
raise the needed funds and concur with
US, whole eommpniiies will have the same
interest in the schools as though they were
supported by general taxation. We wish
particularly to know how much money
has been raised, and bow many children
have attended the schools already aided
in Louisiana. Yours truly, f..s =
b. SEARS, General Agent.

Tale of Wrecked Life.--An Elderly
Man I'm Newark Placed under
Guardiaushtp.

From the Newark IN. J.) Courier. 2s h ult.l
This morning commission appointed
by the Court of Chancery sat at the
courthouse for the purpose of deciding
the question as to whether Adam Schroe-
der, an elderly man, residing at II Bel
mont avenue, is caple of caring for his
property. The application was made to
the Court of Chsncery on the lst OF June
by Colouel johnson through William B.
Guild, jr., solicitor for the appointment
of the commission, whereupon the court
appointed ex-Judge Hewson and DIR.
Conover, both of this city, as the referees.
A jury of twenty persons, of which
Benjamin f. Heaton was foreman, was
empannelled, and day set fer the trial
of the cause, but the case was twice post
poned. At last the trial came on this
morning Five witnesses were exam.
iued, as follows: Garrett Pier, John
Williams, Colonel johnson, Rev. Mr..
Siegfried, and Geo. Schroeder, q son OF
Adam. From their testimony it sp
peared that the man has been socially
and morally wrecked through the use of
strong drink. When be first commenced
drinking he was worth about $50, 900,
owning houses and lots in all parts of the
city. He disposed of his property as his
appetite for liquor increased, and finally
he sold out his interest in the Blue Works
on the hill for $4,000. This amount
was also squsndered in drink. In vain
he endesvorsd to succeed in various
kinds of business. He signslly failed,
and at last succumbed to the terrible eff
feet Of liquor-the man became beast.
He attended to no business, abused his
family, and left them without proper pro.
vision for support. In vain ministers of
the Gospel pleaded with him in vain his
terrible condition was pointed out; aud
ct last he was given up to his Unsuitable
desire for strong drink. Last week the
wife and mother bresthed her lastly
ing heart-broken, The family of the man
consists of four ehildren-Wlllism, boy
Of nineteen years; George, aged seven
teen; Emma, of fifteen; and Edward, of
ten. The evidence went to show that of
his former wealth the man is the possessor
now of but house and lot on Belmont
avenue, worth $2500; q small house and
lot in Jones street; two mortgages, one
for $500 and the other for 1887 50-the
balance has been spent in rum. The jury
retired, and after ten minutes delibera-
ton returned q verdict that Adam |
Schroeder is incapable of governing him
self and property, and recommending the |
appointment Of guardians, A statement
Of these proceedings will be OF onpe laid |
before the court Of chancery, By whom !
guardians will be appointed.
