The circumstances attending the Orange
funeral, yesterday, were creditable to superln-
tendent Jourdan and disgraceful to the Irish
opponents of the Orangemen. The rancor that
pursues the dead is despicable, and the testi-
moDy is that but for the presence of an
overwhelming force of police throughout the
line of march, the corpse with its mourners
would have been trampled under the feet Of a

800 horses in his stables, and more
than 500 grooms, walters and attendants.

trayed was for the return of likeness of
her dead lover, which is in the pos

The Internal Revenue reports have
developed the startling fact that in
the city of Cincinnati alone not less
than 10000 barrels of saloon washings,
valued at two dollars per barrel, are
re-distilled at an average of two and
a-hslf gallons per barrel of spirits re-
covered therefrom. These washings con-
sist of slops that accumulate in the
drinking saloons. The slops from first
class saloons command better prices,
owing to the fact that gentlemen who in-
dulge in the ardent are not supposed to
drain their glasses. 1t is rather pleas

The Memorial Diplomatiqae relates
the following concerning the interview
between the Empress aud the Pope,
which it describes as an edifying trait of
piety On the part of the Empress: /:
"When the Holy Father went to the
Farnese Palace to pay visit to the
august traveller, Her Msjes,y not only
insisted on reconducting His Holiness TO
his carriage, but when they reached the
outer door Of the palace she dropped on
her knees to beg snsw the Apostolic
benediction. Plus TX seeing the youth
full Sovereign at his feet, hurrisdly
stretched QUE his hand to raise her, say
ing in parental tone, Empress, what
are you doing. That is not your place.
The Empress, however, persisted in re-
naming in the same position until the
Sovereign Pontiff had again given her
his bsnedicton, which he accordingly
pronounced with tears in his eyes, in the
following words: Il give it to you from
the loves, depths OF my psierDal heart,
and also to your august husband and the
whole of the Imperial family"

Frankfort Correspondence N. 4. lrlDune.l
Many German Liberals deplore the
continuance of the war. They admit
that Count Bismarck has proposed what
would now satisfy the German people;
but they are conscious of the daily in
creasing tendency Of public sentiment
in their country to ask for still harder
and more humiliating sacrifices on the
part of the French nation. They are
anxious that peace should be made, in
order that the exceptional state ofthings
in Germany should terminate. The high
handed acts of General Vogel Won Fal-
kenstein, of which Count Bismarck has
approved, are exciting discomfort in
many circles. They are defended on the
ground of being measures indispensable
for the successful and rapid prosecution
of the war, but the apprehension is
very general that, if the war should
last much longer, these measures will be
gradually transformedinto customs. AT
the best there has been no real freedom
of speech and writing in Prussia. The
police have always kept a rigid supervis-
ion over qewspaper editors and public
speakers, and that Of all the police dis
proved has too often been condemned as
illegal. IL is believed that as soon as
the German Parliament assemblies these
abuses will be extirpated. The Prussian
system is now victorious all along the
line. There is no prospect Of serious
reverse being sustained by the army; but
The time Sill come when the arbitrary
arrest Of DR.. Jacoby viii be the source of
difficulties to the Prussian authorities
far less easy Of solution than thosewhich
General Won Moltke now solves with
needle-guns and cannon.
