A REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT

Among the manuscripts which
were probably burned in the recon
conAagration Of the archiepiscopa
palace at Bourges, France, the mOst
remarkable was, without doubt, the
order for the execution of Jesus
Christ, which was the personal prop
erty of the family De Ia Tour
d'Auvergne. The order runs thus {:
Jesus of Nazareth, of the Jewish
tribe of Judah, convicted of impos-
ture and rebellion against the divine
authority OF Tiberius Augustus, En-
peror of the Romans, having for this
sacrilege been condemned to die on
the cross by sentence of the judge,
Pontius Plate, on the prosecution Of
our lord, Herod, lieutenant of the
Emperor in Judea, shall be taken to-
morrow morning, the 22d day of the
ides of March, to the usual place of
punishment, under the escort of a
company of the Pretorian guard
The so-calIed King of the Jews shall
be taken out by the Strunean gate.
All the public officers and the sub
jects of the Emperor are directed to
lend their aid to the execution of
this sentence.
(Signed) CApEL.
Jerusalem, I'D day of the ides of
of March, year of Rome, 789.

AN ASTONISHING STORY OF A Sill
YER MINL.-The Pierce city Record
says at has been an Oft-repeated
story among the old settlers of La
clede that there existed a cave some
where in the vicinity of Ozark in
which large quantities of silver ore
were known to exist many years ago.
Indians and Spaniards who long ago
visited this section of the country
used to tell the people that they could
line their door-steps and shoe their
horses with silver, if they only chose
to dig for it, as it existed here in
large quantities. Not only this, but
they often exhibited specimens in
proof OF their assertions. No devel-
opments were ever made, as the Indi-
ans and Spaniards would not reveal
the whereabouts OF the precious
metal. Last week the Indian above
referred to came and described to
our informant a cave, the mouth Of
which was walled up with stone, and
covered with a large fiat rock, the
location of which he would not tell.
1t is supposed that he entered the
cave in the night, as our informant
knows that the Indian departed in
the night, taking with him wagon
load of Silver ore. Explorations are
being made, and it is to be hoped
that if silver mine exists in this re-
gion it may be found and developed.

SINGULAR CAsE.-A young lady
at Pittsburg to all appearances laid
dead for 20 days. When size died
% there was such a peculiar express
ion on her countenance, and decom-
position not appearing, her friends
refused to allow her to be buried
Ga thu 22d day she arose with a
start, as if just awakened from a re-
freshing sleep, and was surprised
upon being informed of her Rip Van
Wrinkle slumber. About her first
motion was to go to the cupboard
and put herself outside of a couple
of pies. She then told the astonish-
ed neighbors who had filled the house
that she had only been asleep and
and became greatly an
noyed at what she thought was their
to "tease" her for ''over
sleeping herself an hour in the NOR
ming" 1t is a very singular case.

A NARROW GAUGE ENGINE. The
Atlanta Constitution says: Of late
much has been written about narrow
gauge roads. Yesterday the curious
were gratifed with the sight of a
narrow gauge engine, as it passed
up on the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad on flat car. 1t does not
differ materially from large engines,
except in size. The gauge Of the
driving wheel is three feet also, and
the diameter of the small wheel
twenty inches, The engineers cab
is a easement feet high and 8 feet
square; the upper half is framed
with glass windows. The cab diff
fers from that Of large engines be-
cause the rear is closed up and the
engineer cannet get on the tender,
but steps from door on each side to
the ground as one would from car
riage. The engineer on this engine
is only half the distance from the
ground that one on an ordinary en-
/ CINE is-two feet instead of four
This engine was manufactured by
the Denforth Locomotive and Ma.
chine Company, Patterson, New
Jersey, and is intended for the Rail-
road running from Tuskegee to Che
haw, Alabama The engine is num-
bered 740.

FROM HoUsToN CoUNTY.-The
Houston Hsme Journal has the fol-
lowing:
The people living in the neighbor-
hood of Wellborn's Mill have recent
ly performed an act Of liberality
worthy of the greatest praise. On
the night of July Goth, w. H. Opry
had his house burned, losing every
thing in it, his family not even saw
ing a change of clothing. The
neighbOrs sympathizing with him in
his misfortunes, set to work with a
good will, and in about a week they
had built him a new, comfortable
framed house. Who would not live
in such a community

A REMARKABLE CASE.-We learn
that a lady-namc not recollected-
residing at or near Triton, in this
county, fell into trance one day
last week, and remained in per-
fectly unconscious state for three
days and nights. When she awoke,
which was on the morning of the
fourth day, she arose and went about
her accustomed duties as usual, see
mingIy unaware of the length Of time
she had slept or remained uncon-
scious to all sublunary things. She
soon after remarked to her family
that there would be an unusual
amount of sickness in the country
this year, and that half the people in
Georgia would die, and shortly there
after died herself. Previous to this
sleep or trance, she was apparently
in excellent health. This is certainly
very remarkable case, if true.

Wallace appeared and made speech
against himself, claiming that he
should be exempted from the laborious
duty because of declining health and
the neglect of his private business
While speaking one name after
another was withdrawn, and his voice
was drowned amidst tho cries OF
question" "Walace,' etc, during
which tho Chairman ofthe Convention
ordered the main question, which re-
suited Wallace ss, Randall 80, and he
was declared duly elected.
Col. Biddle, the able editor of the
Philadelphia Age, in speaking of the
selection of Senator Wallace as Chair
man of the State Committe says
"The late Democratic State Convcn.
tion did graceful and proper thing
in choosing Senator Wallace as Chair
man of the State Central Committee
He is cmphatically the right man in
the right place He is the man for
the times and the issues. He has
courage, industry, endurance, quick
perception, great knowledge of the
political condition of the State and the
wants of the people. He led the
Democratic forces in more than one
campaign, and in q manner which
claimed tho warmest gratitude from
our party, and extorted encomiums
from the leaders of the opposition
In the management Of details in
gathering into one grand result all the
detached bodies of an army, Mr.. Wal
lace has no equal in the State. lie is
also a worker, himself and has the
faculty of moving others in like d.
rection, which is Of immense conse
quence during a campaign. Besides
this Senator Wallace has won Il high
character during his senatorial career
He is a pure spotless man, apart from
all "ring" influence, and thus claim,
and holds the confidence and respect
of both political friends and foes
Such a man at tho head Of tho Demo
cratic State Central Committee, vii
give strength, character and innuenc,
to that body, and make it, in truth
the organ of that party in the pending
fight. Senator Wallace's selection
will be heartily endorsed in all por
tions of the State, and he can com
mand the support of men Of all classes
from the Delaware to the Ohio line
With such a leader the partyis irwin
chile" The Pittsburgh Post endorses
every word the Age says.
We will lay the full proceedings o.
the Convention before our readcr
next week.

The Pittsburgh Post says The reports from
Paris have grown siekening in the last degrees in
their details. There Ia no sort Of Outrage that the
leaders of the Commune have not added TO the
long list Of their crimes murder arson, yandal-
ism aud everything else that Is infamous.
Bat Oh these excosses are but the legitimate
teachings Of the Rochciorts, the Hugos, the Ma
zinnis and the Garabaldis. who are set up as the
leaders Of advanced idcas in Europe, and 6nd their
admirers and imitators in this country. Our own
eagitators. only lack the opportunity to set up
the bloody Commune and dclugc the country with
gore.
The vandalism stl progresses. Tho Arc de
Triomphe the Luxumbourg Palaces the Hotel de
Vile, the Tulleres aud the proudest monuments
Of art and architecture, which made Paris, rs 1t
were, the capital Of the world are given over TO
the torch of the incondary, aud n century Of un-
interrupted peace will not restore the doomed city.
The most revolving murders ever recorded are
committed by 'tho party Of great moral ideas and
advanced principles Of liberty" and neither age,
condition nor sex arc able TO plead successfully
with the brutal forooity Of the mob.
The Paris mob Of 1871, maddencd with the
French and Italian ideas Of in6deity, will stand
foremost in the annals Of history for the fcrociiy
of their crimes. II Is to be regretted that the
veil Of oblivion cannot be thrown over their ox-
cesses, that even the example might not be

The murder of an Archbishop and
Fifty Priest is horrible enough, but
the fact that evory street is filled with
the bodies of those put to death by tile
Commune leaders, is producinga horror

one Of tho cleaycrcst men we ever
