And Mr. George II. Stuart, OF Philadel-

of her husband, as follows:
Inlay God bless him, and preserve his
valuable life till every vestige of rebel

spirit and purpose to be greatly deplored.
Surely the better instincts Of the Ameri-

By the cession of the Navigator Islands

BY the cession of the Navigator Islands
to the United States, tho Government
acquires 1900 square miles of territory,
unsurpassed for beautiful climate, rich
foliage and fertile soil, nnd an excellent
place for the President to spend his
winters. as he now, for lack of any such
outlet, has to stay, cramped up, in the
city of Washington. For years the
tribes Of the islands have been in a con-
stant state Of war and revolution among
themselves, stopping only when exhaust
ed, and beginning again as soon as suffi-
cient resources accumulated, until an
utter extinction of the natives was immi.
nept from their own follies. Last
spring. after temporary season of peace,
hostilities began again, and there was all
the renewed barbarities of massacre, for
tho victors never give quarter. When
the President of the Polynesian Land
and Commercial Company, Mr.. Stewart,
made the proposal to King Mallestoa,
that he should cede his possessions to
this Government, as q matter of safety
to himself and subjects, it was joyfully
adopted, and we can now offset the ice
bergs of Alaska with the tropical Samoan
group. The islands. eight in number,
are between latitude 1880 and 1890
South, aud longitude 168 and 173 West,
and have n population estimated at co.
600.

1t is very properly urged by the Chi.
cago Tribune that, in retaliation for the
grave offence of the cofin-makers in

lark, stop eating cucumbers, bathe daily,
keep q good conscience by going to
church once Sunday, repair the sewer.
age, eschew over-ripe vegetables, and
keep his temper swoet, in order that he
may be villainously healthy and keep
out of the hands of the coffin makers as
long as possible. Any man who will eat
green apples or daily with cabbnges
when the coffin makers are on o strike
ought not to complain, because he is
directly encouraging them in their un-
reasonable practices; but, at the same
time, he ought not to prejudice the rest
of the community by helping to increase
their funeral expenses.

MASSACHUSETTS, AND SOUTH CAROLINA
AT PHILADKLPHIA.-T the South Ca.
rolina delegates, for example. Their
case is perhaps the worst, but there are
others not much better. What do they
represent? The most villainous govern
ment ever seen in free Christian COM
monwealth-a government which is only
q synonym for scientific scoundrelism
and organized pillage. A few unsorupu-
lous and avaricious adventures have
temporarily oonfscated State of the
American Union to their private use and
emolument. They have found few
native-born rascals as unsorupulous as
themselves, and taken them into part
nership. They have secured the igno.
rant negroes by system Of secret, oath
bound societies; by skillfully appealing
to their resentments and their fears-in
which the Ku Klux insanity has, of
course, been Of invaluable assistance to
them; by the magic of the Republican
name; and by dividing Office and plum
der with their leaders, always reserving
for themselves, however, the lions share.
The history of their shameful rule is
known to the American people. Yet
these fellows call themselves Republi-
cans, hold up their heads with the best,
and cheer for Grant with the loudest.
They come into the National Conven-
tion, their hands reeking from corrupt
jobs, their pockets heavy with stolen
money, and sit down on equal terms
with the representatives of Massaohu-
sets. They are quite right in regarding
Greeley's election as something disas-
trous.." It would be an irreparable dis
aster to them, as. for that matter. would
be the election Of Adams. or Groasbeok,
or almost any one who has been named
except Grant. It would be formal

was mp; in fact, it would be rainy day

they are for Grant enthusiastically. +"
They have good reason to be.

VANDERBILT's PLANS FOR RAPID TRAN
SIT IN New YoRK.-Ccmmodore Van
derbilt has made an exposition of his
plans forrapid transit in the city of New
York. He proposes to construct tun.
mel from City Hall Park up Chatham
street and the Bowery to Fourth avenue,
and promises to make it so light that q
passenger can read his newspaper in the
cars. The engines will be smoke-con-
suming dummies, and the cars short and
heavy, with the seats running crosswise.
Stopping places will be arranged every
five blocks. and the average time from
the City Hall to Forty-eighth street be
ten to eleven minutes. The Commo-
dore claims that, with the exception OF
the ventilating shafts, the streets will
appear the same as at present. The
charter was received from the Secretary
of State on Saturday last, and the work
OF excavation will soon commence at
many points along the line.

tain race of wild creatures, of which
kindred varieties have been discovered
in the Philippine Islands, in Terra del
Fuego, and in South America. They
walk, usually, almost erect on two legs,
and in that attitude measure about four
feet in height. They are dark, wrinkled
and hairy. They construct no habita-
ton, form no families, scarcely associate
together, sleep in caves and trees, feed
on snakes and vermin, on ants eggs and
on each other. They cannot be tanned

PANORAMA OF THE UNITED STATES
Owing to the neglect of the agent in
making the necessary advertisement,
there was not very large attendance to
witness this magnificent work of art last
evening. The paintings, which are won
derfnlly true to nature, rich in ooloring
and correct in perspective, give accurate
representations of most of the historic
scenes. handsome edifices, 60, in the
United States, both North and South.
The scenes in and about Charleston,
Fort Sumter. Magnolia Cemetery. Osce-
ola's grave. &C., were particularly inter-
esting, because familiar. They were
pronounced ssrikingly correct. The oot-
ton-feld in Georgia, and the negro Le-
gislature in session, were true to life.
The entire panorama, indeed, was of the
most pleasing and finished character. II
will be exhibited this evening and TO-
morrow evening. at Twins Hall.

gary, has been heard from. He has
lived very quietly at home since he col
lected large sum of money in this
country for the purpose of effecting the
liberation Of Hungary-butn now emerges
from his retirement to describe, in the
Hungarian paper, the Magyar USag,
remedy for the govt. Here is the story !:
Kossuth says that, having suffered for
some time from govt in the head, he
was recommended by his physician to
60 to the grotto of Monsummano, near
Pistoja, in Tuscany, which has for the
last thirty years had local reputation
for curing persons afflicted with dis.
eases. On arriving at the grotto he had
to take off all his clothes and enter
with nothing on but long shirt and a
pair of slippers. The interior is lighted
with wax candles, which show the beau.
tiful stalactites that hang down from
the roof. Here he sat for ten minutes.
after which he began to perspire pro,
fusely, although he would have liked to
remain longer. He was then rubbed
with cloths and wrapped in flannel, and
after warm bath breakfasted in the
adjoining restaurant. This treatment
was repeated daily for eight days, at the
end OF which time he was completely
cured. Kossuth says that no one has
yet been able to explain the healing
properties of the grotto; the tempera.
ture in its warmest parts is not more
than 32 degrees to "a degrees centigrade,
and is often cooler than that of the air
outside, while the water in the grotto is
quite cold. Kossuth believes that the
effect produced must be due to some
electromagnetic agency.
