BIGoTRY IN CAvAN.-In the February of
last year we had to notice with regret the des-
ecration of the grave of d Catholic lady in q
Protestant churcbyard in the county Cavan
The marble tombstone which marked it was
torn up, @ cross which surmoated it was broken
of, then shattered and the fragments thrown
srons to obtain projection for the honored
grave, so sbamefully desecrated, the relation
who erected the tombstone sought'for comPen-
sation at the summer assizes. The grand jury
granted the amount claimed, twenty-six
pounds, although the presentment " as opposed.
Baffled, but not disheartened, the opposition,
with pertinacity worthy better cause, aud
in spirit that seemed to approve the profana-
tian of grave resting beneath the sign of q
Christians hope, appealed from the decision of
| the grand jury. Counsel was employed, aud
the case argued before Mr.. Justice Fitzgerald,
who ruled that tombstone did not come
within the provision of the statute made in the
reign of William w., and therefore compensa-
tiou could not be granted for its malicious de-
structiou. If this reading of the Act 10 correct,
! and it is powerless to reach crime once OF
rare occurrence, but which now promises to be-
| neighborhood of Baliycopne, it is time some
pu6lic-spirit"d member of Parliament called
| attention to the fact, for, encouraged by the
mpunity which attended the first outrage, its
anniversary was closely followed by another
The footstone which had escaped the first
time, and which alone remained to mark the
desecrated grave aud bore only the init ais of
| the dead, was rooted up, carried out of the
churchyard, and found hidden under some
stones in q ruined house. The police wanted
| to summon some persons who had been arrested
| on suspicion of complicity in the first outrage,
but the rector of the parish, who, as the law
now stands, is the owner of the freehold, re-
fused them permission to use his name. For

should not be- taken against them.-Freensdn.

The following remarkable letter from
Napoleon III. to Gen. James Watson
Webb has just been published:
PARIS, March %, 1868.
Mu Dear General: received your letter
of March 8, aud the interesting note in
closed therein, which, after perusal, l
burned Immediately, according to your
wishes, and without mentioning the sub
iect to any one. The questions you treat
of are very important and very delicate;
still, / will answer them in all frankness.
You are greatly mistaken if you believe
that any motive of ambition or cupidity
has led me into Mexico. Engaged in this
! enterprise by Spain, and led by the doings of
Juarez, reluctantly sent, first, 1000 men /;
afterward, the national honor being COM
promised, my troops were increased to
5000; fiually the repulse at Puebla having
engaged our military honor, 1 sent over
| IS 600 men. 1t is therefore, much against
INV inclination that I am compelled to
wage war at such distance from France ;
and it is in no way for the purpose of taking
| possession of the mines of the Sonora that
my soldiers are fighting. But now that
the French flag is!in Mexico, it is difficult
for me to foreteil what may happen at all
events, my intention is to withdraw as
soon az honor and the interests now en-
gagged allow me. 1t would be wrong in the
United States, therefore, to make my being
there a subject of dispute; for a menace
| would then change all my plans, which
: | now are disinterested. AS regards the Wal
which now desolates your country, pro
! foundly regret it, for do not see how and
when it will end, and it is not the interest
| of France that the United States should bt
weakened by struggle without any gooG
, results possible. In country as sensible
as America, it is not by arms that domes
:, tic ouarrels should he settled, bnt by votes
8 meetings, and assem- blies. In Europe, too
we have many causes of disturbance-many
, grave questions to solve. For this pur
: pose, France needs the alliance of Eng
, land hence my efforts have always beer
directed towards maintaining the ties o
n good Understandings, often in spite of tin
!, iii will of tue English Government.
4 have now sincerely explained my posi-
: ton to you and in that way, you see,
10 reciprocate the perfect frankness of you
" communication. Be- always persuaded, M,
dear General, of my interests in you
is country, as we'll az my friendship and til
10 high esteem which pr"fess for your char
IL acter. With these sentiments, remain
you're, very a6sctionAtely NAPOLEON.

IAN ITEM FOR BoYs.-It is not necessary
that boy who learns trade is compelled
to follow it all his life. Governor Palmer,
of Illinois, was a country blacksmith once,
and began his political career as consta-
BILE in Macoupin county. A circnit Judge
in the cent, al part of Illinois, was once
tailor. Thomas Hoyne, rich and eminent
lawyer of Illinois, was once book-binder.
Erastus Corning, of New York, too lame
to do hard labor, commenced life as q shop
boy in Albany. When he applied for. en-
ployment first he was asked: Why, little
boy, what can you dot" can do what
am bid" was the answer that secured him
a place. Senator Wilson, Of Massachn-
sets, was a shoemaker; Thurlow Weed a
canal boat driver. Ex-Governor Stone, of
Iowa, was a cabinet maker, which trade
the late Hon. Stephen A. Douglas also
worked at in his youth. Large numbers OF
men of prominence now living have risen
from humble life by dint of industry, with
out which talent is as useless as gold coin
ON a barren island. Work, work alone
makes ,uen bright, and it does not depend
on the Kind of work you have to do wheth'
er YOU will rise or not. 1t depends on hoi'
| you do it.

AN M. -. ASSAULTS a fN 4ESI.-<AA oAoA
of recent occurrence in Norwich, Conn.,,
created considerable excitement among the
Catholics of that place. 1t appears that the
Rev. Stephen P. Sheffrey was called upon
to attend a sick parishioner who sent for
him and desired Father Sheffrey to minis
ter to him. Father Shefrey, on being
| called upon, Immediately repaired to the
residence of the sick man, and, entering
the room where he lay, he proceeded to
minister to the man, but one DIR. Farms
worth, in attendance to the patient,
ordered the room to be cleared. Father
| Sheffrey stated his mission but no, the
doctor /" didn't care a d." and pushed
him out of the room. Some inmates of the
house threatened violence to the doctor,
but Father S. interfered and prevented it.
A charge of assault was made against the
doctor, and the case came up in court,
great anxiety being manifested as to the re-
suit. The Norwich Advertiser of the Sd
inst, reports the trial as follows:
| The complaint was for an assault COM
mitted on the person of the Rev. Stephen
P. Sheffrey, on the 2lst of April. To the
complaint the accused entered a demurrer,
impugning the sufficiency in law of the
complaint and of the matters set forth In
it. This raised for the Courts cOnsidera-
ton q question of law and one upon which
the whole case hinged. Judge Colt, upon
examining the complaint, decided that it
was sufficient, but deferred passing jadg-
ment until he should hear from the testi-
lnony of the parties the nature of the case.
The oath was then administered to Father
Sheffrey, and he testified as follows: On
the 21st of April was called to visit sick

occupied by the sick man. There was a

Bear i'm Mind,

When disease has undermined the health, and
the physical system has become Frustrated, q
stimulant that will not only strengthen, but re-
move the cause, should be Immediately resorted
to. Mental distress is also fruitful source of
the breaking down of the constitution, and the
ravages of the enemy to health are truly alarm
ing. For all such maladies Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters have been found unsurpassed. By
acting directly upon the digestive organs, they
remove the heavy disagreeable feeling after eat
ing, so often complained of by persons of del
icate temperament. As soon as digestion is
restored, the patient finds his strength increas-
ing, and his general health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness or nervous
debility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality of Bitters are so disagreeable to the
taste that they are Objectionable to weak
stomach. This is not the case with Hostetter' s
Bitters, which will be found mild and extreme
ly pleasant. Balsamic plants, banks and roots
contribute their restorative juices to render it
soothing and Strengthening. Its basis is the
only pure stimulant which has ever been pro-
duced, containing no fusiL oil, or any other de-
leterous element. The most careful and skill
full chemists have analysed the Bitters, and pro-
nounce them harmless This is scientific testi-
mony; but the testimony of the hundreds of
thousands who have experienced the preventive
and curative effects of the Great Vegetable Tonic
and Alterative Of modern times is still more
conclusive. In Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, Nerve us Complaints, Chronic Com
plants and general debility it is as nearly in
fallible as anything in this fallible world can be-

Wheeler's Cavalry W. Ku-EKlux.

Our old war comrade, Bill Wyatt, Of the
9th Georgia cavalry, made ten-strike the
other day. He captured three of the Ku-
Klux that Governor Bullock has been adver-
Using for, carried them to Chattooga Court
House, got them convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years, and came
down on Bullock for the prize money-$5, 900
for the first and 81 900 each for the balance
making $1,000 in all. Bullock paid up
like little man." and Wyatt went home
happy. This amount Of money in Cbattooga
county, all at one time, will create a tremend-
Gus excitement. The beauty Of the whole af-
fair is that these Ku Klux were common Rad
ical thieves, and were playing KuKlux> to
cover their stealing operations. Bully for
Wheeler's cavalry.-Gri0sn. s. o., Star.
The above paragraph sets two disputed
points at rest. Radical Senators have reiter-
ated that while all the Democrats are not
Ku-Klux, all the Ku-Klux are Democrats !;
and that, no Ku-Klux have been arrested or
punished 10 the South. General Blair has
contended that there were Radical Ku-Klux,
and here we have the proof Of it, with the
further assurance that two Of these gentry, st
least, have found an appropriate resting place
in the pententiary.

From France.

It b now announced that some of the revo-
lutionists in Paris have become convinced Of
their inability to fight the Government, and
have sent deputation to Versailles to endea-
vor to make terms with Theirs for cessation
OF hostilities. Perhaps this may lead to an
agreement for peace, although the troops Of
Mcmahon are all in position for the attack,
and everything is propitious for the subjuga-
ton of the insurgents. 1t is stated, however,
that the latter have a hundred thousand arm
ed men. and that they will fight desperately
behind the barricades in the streets of Paris,
some of which have been mined and set with
torpsdoes. Inside the city anarchy reigns
supreme. The Defence Committee, which led
the Revolution and surrendered its powers to
the elected Commune, now rebels against the
latter and endeavors to supplant its members.
As specimen of the condition of affairs, it is
stated that the mob have demanded from the
churches of Paris million of francs, and
have threatened to kill the Archbishop if it is
not paid. A speech delivered by Favre in
the National Assembly, and circular issued
by Theirs, Indicate that the Government has
thorough confidence in the army of McMahon,
aud has the sympathy of all the other nations
Of Europe. The attempts to spread the re-
bellioo to other portions of France, outside Of
Paris, have proved total failures.
