LONDON, Aug. 3D. Fearful misery pre-
walls IN Southern Hungary, at Bouat.
One-third of the country is under water.
In consequence of a bad administration,
the dams were suffered to fall into ruin,
and thus became flooded the extensive
tracts of land reclaimed during the reign
of Maria Theresa, and made fruitful with
grain fields. Added to this are unusual
storms at this season the excessive
severity of the government in collecting
arrears of taxes, and vineyards, grain
fiells and trees even have been stripped
of their leaves. The government is seiz-
ing for taxes the cattle of the peasants.
Some villages owe an amount of arrears
greater than the value of their whole
property. Agriculture, trade and indus

Convention.

Wednesday - National University,
ST LOUIS, Aug. 24.-The sessions OF
the Educational Convention were resumed
last evening. Hon. Newton Bateman, OF
Illinois, read an elaborate paper on the
subject of how far may the State provide
for the education of her children at the
public cost. He summed up as follows:
believe, then, that the question for
American statesmen is not how little, but
how much, can the State properly do for
the education of its children. l believe
that the one thing most precious in the
sight of God, and of all good men, is the
welfare and growth of immortal mind,
and that, to secure this on the largest
scale, Legislatures should go to the verge
of their constitutional powers, courts to
the limit of their liberality of construction,
and executives 10 the extreme OF their
proper official prerogative. believe that
an American State may aud should sup

NO RESISTING THE WOMEN.

A Berlin correspondent of the New
York Nation relates the following as
having come under his own observation:
''On the entry of one of the Menu
regiments (the eighty seventh, which is
recruited IN Nassau witnessed little
incident which is worth being narrated
here. The regiment was on its way to
the SchlossplstZ, when stou', resolute
peasant woman broke through the
ranks, put away the officer at the head
# his squad, and embraced her hTs-
band, loudly crying, she has belonged
to you long enough, now he is mine
once more, and you viii never get no q
of him agsin!' When the other
women standing along the street, and
eagerly watching for their turn, noticed
this unceremonious procedure, there was
no longer any restraint they all broke
into the lines, and each of them seized
her son, husband or sweetheart. The
Captain could not defend himself against
this invasion, and good naturedly sutft red
to pass what he could not stop, and led
his men and women to the SchlOsspls.z,
where, amid the cheering of the people,
the women assisted the soldiers in IN
| Swapping their knapsacks, or held their
needle guns, while IN the other hand each
carried bundle of modest citizens

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-The other Bishop
alluded to in the article on the Cheney

formerly rector of the Church of the

himself was made to this city, but the
Bishop of Illinois was at that time absent
on g visitation. The narrative of the re-

Cheney case, it is stated is embodied in
lectures and documents which will ere

sANTO DOMINGO
The Land of Promise.


New YORK, Aug. 24-Direct intelli-
gence by steamer from Ssnto Domingo
reports the country tranquil, no distur-
Dances having occurred since the route Ct
Cabral at San Juan. The financial situs-
ton was relieved by the. receipt of the
proceeds of the United States to Santo
Domingo. The friendly tone of the re-
pors of the United States Commission of
inquiry, which has been circulated through
the country was pleasing to the people.
Baez was preparing to celebrate the
anniversary of the Dominican victory
over the Spaniards.- An explanation
has been demanded as to the course Of
President Soget in permitting Cabral to
harrass the Dominican frontier. The
sugar and tobacco crops are both large.
Another Revolution organizing.
NEW York, Aug. 24.-The Post says:
We have received letter from trust
worthy source in ST. Thomas, dated Aug.
IA, which asserts that the eXiles in st.
Thomas are more active and hopeful than
ever ia their plans for the overthrow of
the usurper, Bsez. A provisional gov
eminent, our correspondent asserts, is
about to be organized under the Presi-
dency of Fernando ArturslinO, a highly
educated and liberal minded priest, ma
tive of Santo Domingo, who has been for
some time in Hayti. The seat of gov
eminent will probably be San Juan.
Cunmental, who was President of the
provisional government during the war
against Spain in 1864 and 1865, and one
of the triumvirate who effected the over
throw of Bsez in May, 1866, has Joined
Cabral at San Juan, and will cooperate
with him il future. Luperon was also
at Cape Hsyti. One great obstacle to the
success of the opposition to Bsez seems
to have been a want of sympathy and
unity of action between the military
chiefs, Cabral, Pemental and Luperon.
They are now reconciled by the choice of
Padre Mo0rifo as the head of the govern
ment. I'll
