The War on the JeSuits In Germany.

Berlin correspondence OF ar English
journal has the following: "4- action
of the Jesuits in Germany is 5H Int to
deadlock. Every seminary : to be
broken up, every Jesuit church given
over, and all their organizations are to
be dissolved. If, within six months,
there exists Jesuit church, school, or
training college in Germany, the police
will step in, and shut it up; and if any
individual Jesuit remains in the En-
pire, he knows under what terms he
lives here-as suspected person under
constant police surveillance, and this
does not touch the Society of Jesus
alone all monastic orders are brought
under the terms of the statute. There
is in Dusseldorf hourishing church
and monastery of Franciscans. They
have notice 10 turn out. The same is
true with other Dominicans who have
been laying out very extensive premises
in the lower part of the town. About
six miles from this is new establish
ment of French Carthusians, who have
bought noblenan's seat, and at great
expense are erecting a splendid chapel
and monastery. They, too, are served
with notice to quit. The Government
district of Dusseldorf has also issued
notice that for the future no teachers,
male or female, belonging to monastic
orders shall be allowed in any school in
the district. The Jesuits at Laach are
packing up to CO."

A Snake Story.

And now we are told that the snake
is not devoid of affection. 1t mourns
sadly as the cooling dove over its lost
mate. We are rather sorry to hear this,
as it has always been our habit to
widow as many snakesas possible. But
we will not solemnly swear to do so no
more until we try what effect sentiment
will have when we see reptile crawl.
ing at our feet. A Kentucky exchange
tells the following: "Some time since
a man named Barger, who resides in
Cumberland county, while getting tan
bark in the woods, killed very large
rattlesnake, tied it to his wagon and
dragged il home. The next morning
he found the mate to il coiled up under
his wagon, having followed the trail OF
its dead compan on the distance of two
miles, leaving its track in the dust all
along the route

The Marriages Of Great Men.

Byron married Miss Millbank to get
money to pay his debts. 1t turned out
bad shift.
Robert Burns married farm girl with
whom he fell in love while they worked
together in the plowfeld. He was If.
regular in his life, and committed the
most serious mistakes in conducting his
domestic affairs.
Milton married the daughter of a
country squire, but lived with her but a
short time. He was an austere, exact
ing literary recluse, while she was a
rosy, romping country lass that could
not endure the restraint imposed upon
her, so they separated. Subsequently,
however, she returned, and they lived
toleraLly happy.

Shakespeare loved and welded farm

her vows, but we could hardly say the
same of the great ard himself. Like
most of the great vets, ne showed too
little discrimination in bestowing his
affections o. the other sex.
Washington married a woman with
two children. 1t is enough to say that
she was worthy of him, and they liver

John Adams married the daughter of
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected on account of Johns being a
lawyer-he had a bad opinion of the
morals of the profession.
John Howard, the great philanthro-

From time to time, as there are any

POIIick Church.

About seven miles from Mount Yer.
non stands the ruins of Pohick Church.
The site on which the building stands
was selected by Gen. Washington, who
for years regularly rode over from his
estate and attended church there, and
took deep interest in the affairs of its
parish. At present there is an effort
being made to restore the edifice to its
original simple beauty, thus preserving
from complete decay one of the relics
of the past with its pleasant associations.
During the war, when Fairfax county
was so long occupied by both armies,
the old church furnished shelter for the
Union soldiers. The chancel. commu.
Mon table and tablets Of the laws still
remain quite perfect, but the roof is
giving way, the wide door stands open,
and through il the "beast of the field
and the fowl Of the air" pass in and
out. 1t will cost but few thousands
TO repair it, and this amount is rapidly
eng raised.

Under He'll Gate.

The work of excavating under Hell
Gate is progressing satisfactorily. There
are ten main tunnels, running in q
semi.circular form from the point just
above the landing at Astoria. The
longest of these tunnels is now $50 feet.
There are other intersecting tunnels
connecting the whole. They are thirty.
four feet deep, and there is about ten
feet OF rock between tie tunnels and
the water.
The rock above is supported by solid
stone pillars, which have been left be-
tween the tunnels. The excavations
are made 10y drilling into the rock, and
then blasting with nitro glycerine, the
broken rock being removed TO the out
side and the blasting repeated. Thus
the work goes on, and il is proposed to
continue it until all the dan gerous rocks
on the eastern side of the gate shall
have been removed, and the channel
made wide and deep enough for the
largest ocean steamers 10 pass through.
IL Is thought that it will require year
and half more to complete the work,
and a further appropriation will have
10 be made by Congress.
When all the necessary excavations
shall have been made, and the pillars
supporting the rock above and the rock
itself will be bored and charged with
nitro glyeerine, and the same explosive
material placed in the tunnel The
Golfer dam which now keeps back the
water will next be cut, and the water
let into the tunnels. The charges OF
nitro glyeerine will then be exploded,
and IL is calculated that the result will
be that Hell Gate will 90 up in cloud
OF water, and that the rocks can after.
ward be grappled and removed The
engineer in charge of the work is conf.

poses to remain within three hundred
feet Of the entrance 10 the tunnels
when the final blast is touched of by
electricity. Some OF the residents OF
Astoria are apprehensive Of danger
when that takes place.

LOWELL POLICEMEN MIsLED BY SPIRITS
LOWELL, March 19.-The Board of Aldermen
held special meeting last night for hearing
on the suspension from duty of two of the reg
ular night police officers in the Centralville dis
trict 1t is in this precinct that the State Con-
stabulary have their storehouse for liquors seiz-
city ofic rs in the night time neglected their
duty and spent their time in this depository.
To be assured of the facts the Mayor and City
Marshal put themselves on the watch, and be-
came fully satisfied that not only did they have
a key to the place, but that liquor was removed
by bottles and demijohns. Constable Morse
was before the Board, and acknowledged hav-
ing entrusted the key to the policemen to have
them look after the place, and to have given
them bottles and decanters, emptied Of their
contents, in consideration of services rendered.
The information causes considerable excitement,
and the executive proceedings of the meeting
Will undoubtedly soon become public. The
Board adjourned the investigation until its next

CARD.-I am pleased to announce that have
procured and shall shortly exhibit, Thomas
Hills great painting of the Crawford Notch of
the White Mountains" This locality has be-
come somewhat interesting to our citizens from
its being ON the projected route of the Ogdens-
burg r. r. The painting is MAMMOTH in size
and has been sold for the large sum of si1
thousand dollars, and has become the property
of Mr.. E. Hamlin, of the well known firm of
Mason & Hanlin, who has very kindly allowed
me the pleasure of placing it before the Port
land pr bic, before it goes into his own private
gallery. The expense of transporting and ex-
hibiting this work renders it imperative upon
me to charge trifing admission fee, which
will be placed at the very lowest possible figure
consistent with the cost of the exhibition /
sincerely hope, inasmuch as the picture can re-
main but'a very short time, that our citizens
will avail themselves of an early opportunity
to see how truthfully this great artist has pic
tured upon canvas this wonderful mountain
gorge, the pride of New England. Due notice
OF opening will be given.
Very respectfully,
