The Religious Troubles i'm Prussia.

The cores ondent of the London
Times, writing from Munich, August 8 +,
says: "Great and unexpected was the
CONSERVATION of the clericals and the
satisfaction OF the liberals, when, two
days ago, the letter of the Minister of
Public Worship to the Archbishop OF
Munich appeared, dated on the 9th of
August, which throws down the gaunt-
let to the clerical party, or rather takes
up that thrown down by the latter. The
letter is a long and elaborate refutation
Of the arguments put forward by the
bishops Of Bavaria to justify their pro-
ceedings against Dollinger and others
who would not submit and recognize the
dogma of infallibility. 1t declares the
dogma to be an innovation, dangerous
and adverse 10 the interests of the state.
1t upholds the royal right of the place
tam, and promises its protection to those
who may incur the displeasure Of the
episcopate by their resistance to the
new dogma. The Bavarian government
upholds the principle that Bavarian
archbishops and bishops are subject,
like everyone else, to the laws
of the kingdom. The danger
threatening the constitution, and the
violation by the bishops of the laws of
the kingdom, force the government to
take measure which it would have liked
to avoid. 1t will refuse its assistance to
the propagation of the new doctrine
and carrying out those provisions which
may be made in consequence of the new
doctrine. 1t will hold fast to the prin-
ciple that the decisions which the
church authorities might make with re-
gal d to those who do not recognize the
new dogma can have no effect in civil,
and political matters, and, if necessary,
it will take measures TO insure the indie
pendence Of the members of the church
against clerical pressure.N

Petroleum..

The industrial uses and applications
OF petroleum, in addition to its vast con-
sumption as an illuminating material,
continue to multiply almost indefinite
ly. 1t is now stated that Mr.. Hausel.
architect at Neustadt, Grand Duchy of
Hessen, being unexpectedly in need of
some tracing paper on certain occasion
in small village, where none could be
obtained, thought of using as a substi-
tute ordinary writing paper saturated
with petroleum by means of brush.
The effect was a surprising success. 1t
did not take him more than four or five
minutes to paint sheet Of writing pa
per with petroleum, and to wipe it off
till it was dry. He thus obtained an ex-
cellent tracing paper, on which he could
write and print just as easily as If it had
not been subjected to any such process.
Drawing paper, also, when impregnated
with petroleum, becomes sufficiently
transparent to be used for tracings.
Since Mr.. Hausel made this discovery,
he has entirely abandoned the use of
manufactured tracing paper, preterring
the quality of the article thus treated
with petroleum.

Gods Acre.

o beautiful quiet beautiful rest
Beautiful place for brow and breast,
Weary ones are laid in thy quiet bowers
Who no more will gather life's thorns with its
flowers.
In thy broad acre. in peaceful sleep.
Rest those who have mingled life's bitter with
sweet.
Feet that are weary. hands that are tired.
Here find that rest that they long have desired
Hearts that have ached with burdens hard to
bear
Have at last found answer to their prayer.
And here they will rest from sorrow and sin,
Happy that earth 5 conflicts enter not in.
Beautiful acre! city of peace
The deep-rolling wave of misfortune here cease,
But our journey is short, twill soon be DER;
AS lfe's sun is setting we see the shore,
To the beautiful mansion where all can rest.

An Exciting Scene In the French Assem-.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don papers of the 3lst ult, describes the
scenes in the assembly as follows:
NJ. Baragnon excited the wrath of
Nj. Testelin to such an extent that the
latter shouted out that he had licked
the boots of the late government, on
which voice from the right retorted.
You blackened them The scene which
followed the interchange of civilities
was unparalleled, even in the amenities
of this most turbulent assembly. A GER
tain Nj. de Cecys rushed at Nj. Testein
as though with the intention of throt.
Ting him. The right rose to their feet
as if to charge into the benches Of the
left, and seemed altogether to forget
THEIRS speech a few days ago, in which
he said his principal occupation was to
prevent the rival parties in the chamber
from flying at each others Threats.
They were literally doing SO now, and
NJ. Grevy, after vainly ringing the bell,
seemed to come to the conclusion that
he would leave them to fight it out, and
turned to put on his hat. 1t was not to
be found. For moment the scene was
animated to tie last degree; M. Grevy
and his hussiers in search for his hat !;
the deputies roaring and shaking their
fists in each others faces. At last NJ.
Grevy, found his hat, and the members
at the same time seemed to find their
tempers. So, after putting it on for a
second or two, he took it off again, and
Testelin came forward and made an
apology but in ten minutes the mem
bers were as bad as before, if not tri-
file worse. Every now and then one
side, not the speaker, but those sitting
in the house, would utter a word or cry
which would be distasteiul to the
others; then some on the opposite side
would jump on their feet, shake their
fists at over the way, gesticulate, bel.
low, roar, and stamp like madmen.
Every speaker from the tribune COM
menced by saying he wished above all
things not to use irritating words, yet
ere five minutes was over he was de-
nouncing his opponents and their
principles as frantically us if they We're
the enemies of France, not Frenchmen
like Themselves

AnecdOte of a Bereaved Husband.

\ distinguished Ex-Governor of Ohio,
famous for storytelling, relates that on
one occasion, while addressing tenn
perance meeting at Georgetown, District
of Columbia, and depicting the misery
caused by ihdulging too frequently in
the flowing bowl, his attention was at
tracted by the sobs of disconsolate
and seedy-looking individual in the rear
part of the room. On going TO the per-
son and interrogating him, he was told
the usual tale of woe among other sad
incidents that during his career of vice,
he had buried three wives. The Cover.
nor having buried few wives of his
own, sympathized deeply with the inc
briate, and 'consoled him as much as was
in his power. Said he: "The Lord
has indeed afflicted YOU" "The mourn.
er sobbingly replied: ayes, yes, he
has" and pausing moment, and WHIP
ing his nose, he continued: "But /
don't think the Lord got much ahead
of me, for as fast as he took one away /
took another"

and owe you one. I'll pay you too,
you rascal. Now, where is this woman
that you don't want to marry but once?
Any port in storm, you know, my
friends"
Fanny row stepped into the room,
and took her pace at Toms side. The
old captain could not fail to see that his
son had lost nothing by the exchange,
excepting the wealth.
"Where are the Redwings ?" he
asked, looking about the room.
I" Left for home,' replied the foot
man.
"Scared out" laughed the captain.
" Just as well but it was little hard
on Nanny. Tom, you villain, | don't
blame you bit, now that it is all done,
for do believe you have just got the
neatest piece of dry goods there is in
Newport. And, my boy, you wouldn't
mind bringing her here to live-would
you? And, say, bring along the old
mate. I'll give him good berth aboard
this craft, as | should have done long
ago But you, Tom and Fanny, will not
get another cent until the Great Captain
calls me on deck, and gives me pass
over the river"
(Which time, hope, will be long,
long years in coming" said Fanny,
throwing her arms about the old mans
neck.
"Ah, you rogue" cried the old Capt
ain, wiping his eyes, :" if it wasn't for
Toms promise, I'd have him marry you
again this minute. Avast there, Tom
Pipe all hands to grog, you rascal !"

The Mackerel Fishery.
From the Boston Traveller.

There are at present from three to
four hundred vessels engaged in the
mackerel fishery scattered along the
coast of New England from Block
Island TO the Bay of Funday. The
vessels average from eighty to one
hundred and twenty tons each, with
occasionally one Of greater or less ton.
mage than these. Tne greater part OF
the fleet is now collected between Port
land and Townsend, on the coast OF
Maine. The catch for the last two or
three weeks has been very small, some
vessels taking not more than five or ten
barrels, while some few have captured
fifty to seventy-fve barrels. The season
thus far has been a poor one, and the
price of the fish ruling very low. Some
of the vessels can hardly pay their bills,
unless the Fall fishing should be un-
usually good.
Besides the hand.ishing vessels, there
are large numbers of seiners. They lie
around and watch for schools of mack
erel, which they endeavor to surround
with their seins. These are of large
Irvine, from 500 to 900 feet long, and
about 100 feet deep. Often 200 or 800
barrels of fish are taken at once in this
manner, but very often the fish take
