EXILED PRIESTS IN CALIFORNIA. Among
the passengers that arrived on the steam
ship Sacramento at San Francisco, were
thirty-nlne Dominican and Franciscan
friars of the Capuchin order, who were
banished from Guatemala by the Grana-
dos revolutionary government of that
country. For entertaining supposed
designs against the existing order of
affairs they were, without moments
notice, hurried away from their houses
and placed on board the Sacramento.
The singular appearance of this body OF
men in their religious garb attracted
marked attention in San Francisco,
where they were Hospitality received by
Archbishop Alemany and the priests of
their orders established in the metropolis
of the Pacific. Among them is one
clergyman who was the original founder
Of the missions in Guatemala, and who is
now seventy-two years old Six of them
were very sick and had to be removed to
the hospital. 1t appears that on the
evening Of the 7th OF June last the con-
vents III which they were quartered were
entered by body of soldiers, while the
friars were engaged at their usual voca-
tions, and they were taken into custody.
The troops were commanded by General
Rufno Barrios, Commander in Chief of
the army. The friars were not permitted
to make any preparations for their de-
pa,t,ne, with the exception OF a few
blankets, hastily gathered up by some of
them. They were then conveyed into the
street, just as they were found, and then
placed in line between files of soldiers,
who had orders to fire upon any one
to leave, or upon any citizen
attempting to succor them. Thus situ-
ated they were marched to Champerico
amid the tears and lamentations of the
people. The picture drawn by the exiled
priests of the CONSERVATION of the citi-
zens upon being thus rutblessly deprived
Of their spiritual advisers, and the ont
cries against their Punishment, is one of
leep interest. But despite these pro-
.ests they were placed Oh board the
steamer, and in one hour from the time
If their arrest were being carried away
rom their homes and their people.

RATES OF ADvERTIsIno
The Old Couple.

They sat in the sun together,
Till the day was almost done,
And then, at its close, an angel
Stepped over the threshold stone.
Ho folded their hands together,
He touched their oyellds with balm.
Aud their last breath iloated upward
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to the Beautiful CITY.
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Perhaps, in that miracle country,
They will give her lost youth back,
And the flowers of a vanished spring-time
Shall bloom in the spirits track.
One drausht OF the living waters
Shall restore his manhood's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outlives time.
But the shapes they left behind them
The wrinkles and silver hair
Made sacred to us by the kisses
The angel imprinted there
Wen hide away in the meadow,
When the sun is low in the West,
Whore the moonbcams cannot find them.
Nor the wind disturb their rest.
But well let no tell-tale tombstone,
With its age and date, arise
Der the two who are Old no longer
In their Fathers House in the skies.

A NEW ADULTERATION. We have be-
come so much accustomed to stories, I'M
happily too often well founded, of the
scientific" modes of adulteration in
our daily food, that We get almost tired
of inquiring into the matter any further
A horrible whisper was ahoat some time
ago that a company had been formed for
making the best fresh butter from mud
of the Thames. The sensation was,
however, too strong even for the great
est alarmists, and people settled down
into the comfortable conviction that
matutinal toast was "buttered," after all,
with nothing more deleterious than an
elegant preparation of Russian Tallow,
or lard at the best. But what shall we
say when we learn that even lard-the
base, as chemists would call it, of our
best Devonshire fresh is adulterated
also? A writer in one of the pharma-
ceutical journals says that he lately OBJ
tanned quantity of lard from respec-
table dealer. 1t was beautifully white.
Indeed, he had never seen IN article that
looked better. His first trial OF 1t was
in preparing ointment of nitrate of mer.
curry. The color, when the mercurial
solution was added, was the reverse of
decidedly saturine. de-
veloping in n short time to full slate
color. Surprised at this unprecedented
result, the usual precautions having been
taken as TO temperature, NC, the lard
was inspected, and on examination was
found to contain large quantity of lime.
Some time after, in conversation with
a lard dealer, the secret oozed out conf
dentially that it was common practice
in the trade to mix from two to five per
cent. of milk of lime with the genuine
article, which is not only pearly white,
but will allow of stirring in during cool
ing of twenty-five per cent. of water.
So much for the last chemical triumph in
he art of adulteration.-Oncea Week.

ALLEGED SEDUCTION AND SHOOTING CASE
Much excitement was created this morning on
Bridge and Congress streets by the report that
Mr.. VIM L. Davis a real estate agent Of Wash
ington, had been shot while standing in the
store Of Garter & Bradley. 1t appears that Is.
r. Hardy, who is said to be New York mer-
chant has been often at the store mentioned
making inquiries for Davis, who frequently
called there, as he resided short distance from
Georgetown. This morning, Thursday last,
finding Davis there he shot him in the side,
the injury proving flesh wound, and would
have injured him farther if Davis had not fled.
As soon as he fired some one in the store
threw weight at him and the inquiry was
made, {" What did you do that forY' Hardy,
who was quite cool, replied, " He has ruined
my dang bier !" and upon being arrested gave
up to the the officer his pistol and dirk
knife, saying Take this too; | came here to
kill him, and I'll do it," He was carried TO
the Police Court, and there appearing TO be no
danger of life from the wound Of Davis, Hardy
was bailed in $4,000. Hardy claims that
Davis seduced his daughter, Miss Alice Hardy,
while she was on a visit to the relatives of her
mother, (nee Miss Pickerell, of Georgetown, J
last year and that be then, finding crcum-
stances likely TO give proof of his guilt, he in

after the marriage the fruit of the seduction oil

A TOUCHING DEMONSTRATING one of the
most tremendous snow-storms ever witnessed
here last winter, writes our Newfoundland
correspondent, poor widow left her home in
search of her only son, boy of sixteen years
of age, who had gone ont in the morning
wood-cutting with several others. Unable to
bear her anxieties, the poor mother rushed out
into the binding snow drift hoping to find
| her boy, and that her feeble arms might in
| some way help him homeward. After strug-
| Cling on for several miles she met the party,
who were on their return. b. this time she
was utterly exhausted and unable to retrace
her steps What was to be done She sank
| down in the snow, worn out with fatigue and
hunger. The little party of boys were quite
unable to bear her among them homeward,
and to remain with her would have been GER
tain death to all. 1t was agreed that they
should cover her as well as possible and re-
turn to the village for help. Her son, how
ever, nobly refused to leave bis mother, though
to remain was in all probability certain death,
| When the lads gave the alarm in the village a
number of men at the peril of their lives went
out to rescue the mother and her son. Their
efforts to find them were for several days fruit
less. They were finally found under cliff,
| frozen to death and locked in one another S
arms. I" In death they were not divided y
| for theirs was q love stronger than death. "
1t would be difficult to find more touching
instance of selfsacri6cing affection than this
| one, taken from 'the short and simple annals
of the poor. ~. Y. Evening Post.

Consistency.

Speaking Of consistency the Montgomery
(AIa.) Daily AdVertiser says "The nomina-
ton of Horace Greeley may have been start
ling and all that It was so TO us. But why
not support on the same platform one honest
and competent Republican as soon as any
other? If we go back beyond the events OF
twelve months, it would be impossible for Mr..
VOORHEES, to find any ground for wishing to see
Judge Davis President of the United States
Mr.. Greeley is as thoroughly pronounced
Reformer as Judge Davis.
We now agree to support Greeley as we
would have supported Judge Davis had he re-
ceved the nomination, not because we did not
differ with either of these persons ten years
ago, or two years, but because the duties and
interests of true patriotism have brought us
together at last on a common basis Of action
in a struggle for the liberties of the country.
The true question is not what what was Mr..
Greeley's opinion ten, or even two years ago.
but what are his opinions nO,c on vital ques-
tons. Had Mr. Adams been nominated the
same conditions would have surpevened pre-
cisely. Had Judge Davis been nominated the
problem must necessarily have been solved il
the same manner. How would it have beer
solved in each case2 1t could only have beer
determined in one way. First by the SAINT
identical platform in which the past personal
ity of the candidate would have been absorbed
and lost; and, second, by the letter of the can
didate accepting the nomination and declaring
a concurrence with the resolutions Of the Con
vention. Neither Mr.. Adams nor Judge Dayi
could possibly have written a more thorough
letter of acceptance and platform identified
ton than Mr.. Greeley has done"
This is sound and sensible view. Their
are those who preferred Judge Davis or Mr.
Adams 10 Horace Greeley, but they would
have had the same obstacles 10 encounter Il
support either. Ifany have made rash prom
Uses, let them be recalled, and let us all unit
in support of the nominee of the Baltimore
Convention. That is the way to succeed. Ii
union there is strength.
