SAD.--The body of beautiful
young girl, about sixteen years OF age,
was found floating in the Mississippi
River, q few days ago. The Picayune
says she wore a rioh black dciaine
over-dress, with white spots, black
silk under.skirt, and embroidered
skirts, psttiooats and ohemise. On
her breast was q heavy set oameo
breast:pin. while on the third finger of
her left hand was heavy gold ring,
without any mark or initial. Around
her neck was rich lace collar. Her
auburn hair was very long and beauti.
ful, and hung In two plaits way down
her back, reaching almost to her knees,
just like Marguerite. There were no
marks about her person by which she
could be identified.

BARBARITIEs OF SPANISH WARFARE
The barbarities Of the Spanish contest

the world. SPUN, more nearly than

Ferocity and revenge seem to be peou.
lier and ineradioable traits Of Spanish
character. The genius, dignity and
undoobted heroism OF Spain are marred
and disfgured by .he sanguinary and
brutal disposition OF its people. The
military excesses committed under
Philip II and the Duke of Alva have
been repeated il the civil war now
raging in Spain. The inhumanity of
the Carlists is conspicuous. Iu all
captured places, it is charged, they
sack and burn houses. with people in
them. After some successful epxuge.
meuts, they kill the Republican pri-
soners taken; on other occasions, they
shoot one out Of ten. Some of their
exploits remind us of the Apaches

and the other side are not Spaniards if
they do not agree TO it. The other
nations OF Europe seem dispoeed to
step In on suitable provooation and
aid in crushing ont these mediacvu
butchers. The North German Gazette
says: "Germany. in behalf OF out

and find means to teach the Carlists

Ii the NorM German Gazette speaks tho

not an empty ono. The Republican
Government has issued one new order,
prohibiting the shooting of prisoners

which will. if enforced. greatly increase
European sympathy for tho Repub.
lican cause. Mankind III gonerul care
very little about quarrels of parties for
the possession OF power; but We live
in merciful nge, and the sentiment
OF humanity cannot bo outraged by
any party with iInpuni.y. The mis-
fortune is that this healthy sentiment
is sometimes made pretext to cover IL
sinister policy. Germany has lately
ordered her feet to cruise in Spanish
waters. and to remind France of the
constant violations of her border, by
which the Carlists are supplied with
men, money aud munitions of war.
Whether this is from higher motive
than usually enters into her policy, or
to place Hohenzollern on the throne,
remains to be seen.

A few days ago, mention was made
OF the discovery in Arizona OF remains
of ancient towns apparently destroyed
by fire, and evidently once occupied
by race OF people much more ad-
vanced in civilization than Indians or
Me1ioans. 4 similar discovery has
been made in New Mexico by Captain
W. Q. Manning. an officer in General
Cooks command, during the campaign
against the Apaches, last yenr. He
found not only the ruius OF ancient
cities, but race Of men which holds
itself aloof from the Indian and Mexi-
can races. One Of the inhabited towns
has dwellings for 1000 people.
although the population has dwindled
to 1900. In language, dress, customs
and appearance. the people resemble
the Chinese. They were visited $40
years ago by Jesuit priest, and there
seems to have been no change in their
habits. language or dress since that
time. The women are held in high
respeot, and their duties are confined
to the household. The government is

The SroRM. heavy storm and
extensive rainfall, yesterday after
noon, did considerable amount of
damage in this city, and it is feared
that it was disastrous in tho country.
Several street bridges were washed up;
tho excavation for the new insurance
building looked like miniature pond 4;
tho extra wall to support the iron graf
ing in front OF the new City Hall gave
way from the excessive wash; cellars
in various parts of the city were filed
with water, while my number OF leaks
were discovered in what wore supposed
to be tight roofs. The locomotive of
tho Greenvillo passenger train was
thrown from the track, by the accu-
mutation OF sand ut the crossing Of
Blanding street; no serious injury,
fortunately. From appearances, the
storm extended good many miles.

LINCOLN AND SEWARD. BY Gideon welles, ex-
don Co.
Only a small portion of this book, which
is destined to have great historical value,
was published in the magazine issued BY
the publishers. We need hardly say that
it was chiefly written by Mr.. Welles, in
reply to the ra,her uncalled for remarks
made by Charles Francis Adam s, in his
memorial address on tee late VIM. Fl.
Seward. Surely the canvas upon which
the towering events of the war period are
depicted, is large enough to hold even
more than two of the foremost men of
the great struggle. The book is the
natural result Of the speech alluded to-,
and to no one could have fallen the task
more worthily, since Edwin Stanton il
dead, than to the gentleman who was ar
intimate associate of Mr.. Lincoln in the
war times. It is an earnest effort to give
the world proper view of the late Presi
dents administration, and some idea of the
fearful ordeal through which it was called
upon to pass. Mr.. Lincoln grew under the
influences of these tying days; he wa
always, such is already the popular voice
the controlling mind, whose purpose it wa
never to direct, nor still less to follow, Blu
always to keep step with well formed pub
} lie opinion. The love and affection whic'
the whole people bear him, is the sures
! criterion as to Mr.. Lincolns character AMI
J the invaluable service he rendered oul
country.
