A TOUCHING AppREss.-The Catholics of
Strasburg, the heroic and Inflated CITY,
have recently sent an address to the Holy
Father. What can be more touching than
the following:
=, Most Holy Father Your venerated
throne has fallen before violence. Alone
at that moment, and separated from the
universe by fire and the sword, the unfor-
thn a,t city OF strasburg was ignorant of
inc outrage perpetrated, by men without
nonor, against the Father of the Christian
family. When, at last, our gates gave way
under the pressure of the enemy, the news
OF your sorrowss Holy Father, came to
add now bitterness to our woe. =
Catholic Alsace, Most Holy Father, has
particular motives for loving the Church of
CHRIST and the See of Peter. She believes
with happiness that her favored land saw
the hrst cross erected by Constantine, that
was held by royal hands, and that on her
SOIL, also, Clovis received the divine inspi-
ration which gave birth to the Christian
Monarchy, and to France herself. A son
mands OF the glorious chief of the second
race OF our kings, deposited on the altar of
st. Peter those famous keys, wrenched
from the Lombard tyrant by the sword of
France,a title of unparalleled honor for
our country, but which, also, impose on her
q a eacreu uuIy. rms prOvldential duty of
France, Most Holy Father, the Catholics of
Alsace hope to have understood in the SO
difficult times Of your Pontifcate. They
tied, in the measure of their strength, to
defend your authority against Ubiquitous
s9gressions, with their prayers, with
their offerings, with the blood OF their chill
dreh. To-day, the first of these weapons
misfortunes that have fallen upon France
have stricken them from the beginning.
Our first love, Most Holy Father, is that of
the Catholic Church.
Vouchsafe, Most Holy Father, in the midst
of these calamities of the Church and the
world, to accept the testimonials of your
chiidren's devotion, and their faith in your
infallible authority, aud to grant your pa
ternai benediction to us, to our unfortunate
city, to France"

CIsTERcIAN MONASTERY, DUBUoUE.-The
4 Chicago Times in recent article on the
frat settlement of Dubuque, furnishes the
following sketch of the Cistercian Monas-
terry now being erected in its vicinity:
Among tho notable curiosities in the vi
cinity of Dubuque, is the Cistercian Mon
astery at New Milleray, about twelve miles
southwest of the city, one of the most per-
fectly organized c0nventual Institutions in
the United States. The Cistercians of New
Milleray form q community whose farming
operations are conducted with consummate
skill and success. Their fields, covering
some thousand acres, blossom with the
richest barvesss; their stock of all varie-
ties is of the most valuable breeds, and in
horticulture they have, reputation only
limited by the bounds. of the State. Ex-
tensive vineyards, embellished with the
richest colors Of the grape, great peach
thrift and industry. This beautiful mon
astic estate is one of the lions of DUBUQUE,
and as the sons of the cloister are exceed
ingly hospitable, there is constant sues
cession of pleasure parties, who take this
charming drive on the mellow summer af-
ternoons. The Venerable Abbot, who,
prior to his late attendance on the Ecumen
ical Council, has not been out of the mon
astic walls for five years, though he has
governed all the complicated business, "a
well as spiritual affairs, with rare execu-
tive ability. The holy Father seems spir-
itual and aspiring, notifying the lusts of
the flesh with the most rigid privations,
man sympathies, and an intellect of
strong practical force to grapple with and
master the affairs of this life.
The new monastery, now building, when
completed, will be one of the finest, if not
superior to all of tue specimens of beauti-
'ul ecclesiastical architecture in America.
It's design is cr1ciform Gothic, of the de-
ost more than $500, 600. The cloisters and
portion is now nearly completed.

OCEAN DRIFT.

A bottle was recently picked up on the
south beach of the island of Key West,
with q memorandum enclosed showing
that it had been thrown overheard from q
Norwegian brig at point six hundred
miles to the eastward of the Island of
Martinique. From an examination of the
chart it appears that this bottle, driven by
the currents known as the drift of the
Northwest trsde winds, must have passed
into and through the caribbean Sea around
the Island of Cuba and into the Gulf of
Mexico to the beach of Key West. This
long course covers a distance of nearly
three thousand miles, and from the date
on the memorandum the rate of progress
of the bottle must have been over thir-
teen miles Day, it having b cen driven
along by the currents for two hundred
and eighteen days.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The sub Ku-Klux Committee, who
have lately been visiting South Carolina,
while at Columbia, learned good deal
concerning the doings of the raiders who
were recently in session in that city under
the name of the ''South Carolina Legisla-
ture, among other things how they pay
their turf debts. Moses, Speaker of the
80 called House, of the so called Legislas
ture, and negro member of that concern
made wager of 81 900 as to the respec-
tive merits of their spans of fast trotters.
The race came off and Moses lost, and
the next day the negro introduced reso-
luton in the House that, whereas, Mr..
Speaker Moses had presided faithfully
and with all due courtesy, etc, therefore,
be it resolved, that the Speaker be paid
81, 900 out of the contingent fund of the
House. The resolution was passed with
the general understanding that the funds
were to pay the lost bet.

LONGFELLOW.

A large number of sporting men who
gathered at saloon on Broadway, New
York, Thursday evening, to attend the
pool selling in the much talked of four
mile race at Saratoga, between Harper's
Longfellow and Belmont's Kingfsher,
were very much excited over what ap-
peared to be the well>founded rumor that
Kingfsher had backed out of the race.
1t was authoritatively stated, and as
consequence no pools were sold. Bets
were offered of $500 to 500 that the
two horses would not come together
again this season. Harper has expressed
his determination, in the case that his
horse has ''wslk over, I" to run him, if
the day be fine, against Lexington's time.
If the race between LongfelloW and
King6sher really proves a fizzle, pools
viii be sold on Longfellow's race against
Lexington's time. ~ 49,

I HOME nAsuF,crVsE


IL is not . little surprising that our pep
pie cannot become alive 70 the fact, that
work can be done at home as well and IS
cheaply as elsewhere. Nov we know
that we have an organ builder 10 our
midst who has established bis business
of organ building Chat might be made a
very profitable branch of mechanical Inc
dustry) and we hear of an organ being
imported 10 enc Of our churches from q
msnufactory at q distance, without q
chance being given to our own mechan-
les. What the motive is we know not
but at q time when we are inviting
skilled labor to settle with US, and aid in
making us q manufacturing community,
it Is not a little strange that there is not
the proper disposition manifested in this
connection.
Mr.. Hahn, under multitude of unex.
pected troubles, has succeeded In manu-
featuring several organs, one of which Ia
at First Presbyterian Church. Edgefeld,
that for purity of tone, for iightness of
touch, for orchestral effect, and for beau
ty of architectural appearance, cannot be
excelled by any organ in the country.
But few months ago, when our In
dusrisl Exposition was visited by the
youth, beauty and talent of our State,
Mr.. Hahn's organ (made expressly for the
occasion, proved TO be one of the most
prominent and delightful on exhibition;
sffording not only great pleasure to list
eners, but exhibiting an amount of indus
trial skill and perseverance,, that should
meet with the reward il merited.s1 Ger
ss We do not mean to call In question the
reasons that prompted the importation,
but fear that it is the same reason that
has prompted importation in other
branches Of business, and while our man
ufacturers are willing to have introduced
articles that will rebound to the interest
and taste of the community, at the same
time we are not prepared to say that in
any branch of industry our people should
be sighted. =, HoT BLAST.

DRINKING ICE-wATER.
Frnr,n Hnrna snd Health

'sDrink ice-water sparingly," is al
important maxim to every person in Sum.
mer. Experience shows that in order e
quench the thirst a little cool drink &C
complishes as much as a large quantity.
The hotter the day the less should the
stomach be loaded with food and drink.
A little observation will show the rule to
be good one, both in respect to comfort
and health. Let any one who doubts
this try the following experiments, each
for the six working days of week of hot
weather:
1. Every other day eat largely and
drink moderately, and on the alternate
days eat and drink spsringly.
Every other day drink largely and eat
moderately, and on alternate days, as be-
fore, eat and drink sparingly.
8. Every other day eat and drink large
ly, and on the alternate days do both
sparingly. -... -.l
The result of the experiments will show
that in each case the alternate days, when
the stomach is least burdened, the COM
fort is greatest, and the days when the
stomach is loaded with the full meal and
the largest amount of drink, the greatest
discomfort is experienced.
"But what shall be done to quench the
thirst in the hot days 2" Drink only a
little at the time. If the water is cold. a
swallow or two win generally prove suf-
ficient. When the sense of thirst re-
turns, take another swallow, and SO on.
Bits of ice kept in the mouth. or chewed
until they melt, are much better than Coz
pious draughts of water. When the SEN
sation OF thirst is felt, delay quenehing it
as long as it may be conveniently done.
Try all this, and test it for yourself. a

KICKED RYAmuLE.

Jake johnson had g mule. There was
nothing remarkable in the mere fact of
his being the possessor of such an ami
NAL, but there was something peculiar
about this mule. He-the animal could
kick higher, hit harder on the slightest
provocation and act uglier than any mule
on record. -t--.--. 1000
One morning, riding his property to
market, Jake met Jim Boggs, AGAINST
whom he had old but concealed grudge.
He knew Boggs' weakness lay In Dragging
and betting, therefore he saluted him &C
cordingly: frT1n 90
Show are you, Jim2 Fine morning. I"
"Hearty, Squire, y replied Jim. '.Fine
weather. Nice mule that you have. Will
he do to bet oD2" ~ 81 +. -.
''Bet OF? Guess he will that. tell
yer, jim Boggs, he's the best mule in this
country. Paid $500 for him. ~
sGreat smash Is that so2" calculated
jim. n. b. -t..,. e--rr ID
''Solid truth, every word OF it. Tell
you confdentisly, Jim, Pm taking him
down for betting purposes. / bet he can
kick fly off from any man without its
hurting him."
Snow, look here, SQUIRE" said Jim,
81 am not betting character, but I'll
bet you something on that myself"
"Jim, there's no use; don't bet, don't
want to win your money.
'Don't be alarmed, squire: III take
such bets as them every time"
"Well, if you are determined to bet, /
will risk small stske-ssy five dollars. !"
"All right, squire, you're my man.
But who will he kick the fly Off There
is no one here but you and /. You
try it" .i
''No," says johnson; 81 have to be by
the mules head to order him"
"Ohl ysas,n says Jim. "Then probs-
bly, I'm the man. Wa'alI, I'll do it, but
you are to bet ten against my five if
risk 1t. "7T h io
tAll right, I" quoth the squire. 'cNow
there is fly on your sholder, stand still. F"
And johnson adjusted the mule.
"Whist, Jervy,n said he.
The mule raised his heels with such
velocity and force that Boggs rose in the
air like bird, and alighted on all fours
in muddy ditch, bang up against rail
fence. 81 .- .'
Rising, in a towering rage, he ex-
claimed: "Ysss, that is SMART / knew
your darned mule couldn't do it. You
had that all put up. l wouldn't be kickt d
like that for fifty dellsrs. You can just
fork over them ERE stakes for it any
way" -.- g-.E 81 .E-L a-E
'tNot so fast, Jun; Jervy did Just what
1 said he could; that is, kick fly off a
man without its hurting him. You see,
the mule is not injured by the operation.
However, if you are not nstisfed, we will
try it again as often as you wish"
''The deuce take you," growled Jim.
'G'd rather have barn fall on me at
once than have that critter kick me again.
Keep the stakes, but don't say anything
about it. -
And Boggs trudged on in bitterness of
soul, murmuring to himself, 'fSold by
thunder, and kicked by a mule ! F"
