delivered to them bp the Bishop.
The rehs reverened gentleman then
gave the Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment, after which the congregation was
dismissed,
Outside the church the various temper

tn. Coming Revolutaoa.

The revolution OF which Ohio struck
the key note last fall progresses. New
Hampshire led the way in the campaign
ofIs74, and Connecticut followed with a
victory still more decisive. In the latter
State the Administrationists may be said
10 have met their Waterloo. They were
net merely defeated. They were routed.
They have lost everything, and are IN the
condition of an army that has not only
been driven from the field, but 30 hadly
punished IN retreat that thay have lost all
their munitions and are utterly unable to
rally. The revolution viii go on, grow
ing in strength as it progresses, until It
has swept totally from power the party
that has disappointed every just expecta-
tion of its adherents, and alienated from
its support every citizen who values good

effect nothing, that emlnence is the result
of accident, and that every one must be

oarIrls On Labor.

The philosopher of Chelsea has given
his views on this interesting subject IN a
letter, of which the following Is the con-
cluding portion:
"The look of England Is to me at this
moment abundantly ominous, the ques-
ton Of Capital and labor growing ever
more anarchical, insoluble by the notions
hitherto applied to 1t, pretty certain 70
issue in petroleum, one day, unless some
other gospel than that Of the dismal SCI
ence come to illuminate it. Two things
are sure to me: The first Is that capital
and labor never can or will agree together
| lin they both, first of all, decide on doing
their work faithfully throughout, and like
/ men of conscience and honor, whose high
est aim is TO behave like faithful citizens
i of this universe, and obey the eternal
commandment Of Almighty God who
| made them. The second thing Is that q
! sadder object even than that OF the coal
strike. or any conceivable strike, is the
fact that, loosely speaking, We may say all
! England has decided that the most proht-
able way is to do its work i'll, sllmly,
swiftly. and mendaciously. What con-
i trasL between now and only hundred
wears ago At the latter date, or still
more conspicuously for ages before 1t, all
England awoke 10 it's work with an lnvo-
cation to the Eternal Maker to bless them
in their days labor, and help them 70 DO
it well. Now all England, shopkeepers'
workmen, all manner Of competing labor
era, awaken as if it were an unspoksn ont

ton and malfeasance, to do our work with

The SEAL FIsHERY.-News has just
reached Us of the extent Of the annual
slaughter of seals. The Dundee feet has
killed SO, 200 of these animals; while the
Peterhead vessels must, to obtain the
quantity of oil which they have brought
home, have killed over II, 900 seals; and
the twenty sail of foreign vessels known
to be IN the seal district, calculating at the
above average, must have captured $4,000
making total of over l3l 900 seals
killed this season. 1t is no wonder, there
fore, in the face of such slaughter, that
seals are becoming scarce, and that vessels
have to sail to greater distances, and crews
have to exert themselves more than ever
to get cargo. The question is now how
many years longer the supply of seals will
| last II we go on killing them at the rate
of 13l, 900 per annum Glasgow (Seot-

Extraordinary Affair in 0uatemaIa-
The last mail from Panama and Central
American ports brings the particulars Of =
scandalous and tragical affair in San Jese
de Guatemala. 1t appears that the Com
mandante Of that post. Col. Gonzales, had
had personal difficulty with h B. M.
Vice Consul Mr. John Magee, in reference
to a clearance which the latter had asked
for a vessel lying in port. They had ex-
changed blows on the street; and on April
"a, Mr.. Magee and the agent of the Pa
ci6c Mail Steamship Company, Mr.. Mon
crieffe, were arrested, the last named gen.
tleman having become Involved in the dis
pute. Mr.. Magee was ordered into close
confinement, and was subsequently SEN
fenced by the Commsndante to receive
400 lashes on the back The unfortunate
Vice Consul vainly invoked the protection
Of his flag and the remonstrance Of Mr..
James, United States Consular Agent, was
also disregarded by the Commandante.
The Vice-Ccnsul was finally stripped, af-
ter being exposed to shameful indignation
at the hands of the Commandsnte, and
2O0 lashes were administered by the guard
the Commandante standing by and keep
ing tally.
One-half the sentence being carried into
effect, the unhappy victim, insensible and
half dead, was remandsd to confinement,
with the threat to shoot him next day.
On the following day the Pacific Mail
steamship Arizona, bound from San Fran
cisco to Panama, arrived in the harbor.
| Great excitement was created on board
when the news of the outrages of Col.
Gonzales reached the passengers. Mean
while, rumors of these extraordinary pro-
ceedings had reached Salvador, and de-
/ IS Goln wa
dispatched to San Jose de Guatemala.
these came in sight Just as Mr.. Magee had
been placed In position to receive the re-
manning 200 lashes. The Commandante,
seeing that his downfall was near at hand
ordered his soldiers to fire upon Mr.. Magee
they refused, and he then fed to the Ari-
zona, still lying in the port. he was fol-
lowed by boat bearing an order from
Gen. Solano on the captain OF the steamer
to secure him and return him to the shore.
But. as the Commandante was ascending
the side of the steamer he was fred upon
by some of the passengers, three Ehots
! taking effect on different parts Of his body.

Government Claims on the PaCiAo
Railroads


The House Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads have agreed unanimously to report
and recommend the passage of bill to de-
mand of the Pacific Railway companies the
immediate payment of the five per cent.
per annum of their net receipts in hquids-
tion of the interest on their bonds. 1t is
time the Government enforced their claim.
so that the people of the UniIad States
NAV be relieved of the burden of paying
interest on the bonds of these private cor
porations, and to get back as much as pos
sible of the vast Mount already paid. The
bill will have to be carefully framed and
very clear in its provisions or the compa-
MES will make out that there are no nei
proceeds of FIVE per cent. If the enormous
drain upon the Treasury to pay interest
or the Pacific Railroad bonds cannot b
stopped it would be better to foreclose OF
the roads and sell them out.-NssS Yorl

.Messrs. McKillop, Sprague & Co., mer-
camille agents, of New York, are likely
to soon have little suit on their hands, in
this vicinity, wherein they will have the
privilege of trying to prove why they
should not pay George Welmer, ESD, OF
this city, fifty thousand dollars damages
tor originating and circulating reports de-
roRatory to his business character. Short
tly after his return from Columbus, where
he had been conducting the contest for
the State Treasurershlp, Mr.. Weimer re-
ceiyed letter of inquiry for q Cleveland
firm, calling his attention to q statement
in circulation to the effect that he had
gone into bankruptcy, and asking an ex-
PLANTATION. Mr.. W. replied by denying
the truth ofthe report and asking for the
names of the parties furnishing the same.
Shortly after he received letter of like
purport from his New York dealers,
Messrs. A. B. Sands & Co, and on his ask

| ponsible for the statement he was given
the name Of Msssrs. MeKillop, Sprague &

other agencies in regard to the matter and
received answers to the effect that the re-
port had not only not originated with
them but that they had received informa-
ton directly eontradIcting the first state

were concerned. and Mr.. Weimer proceed

1anrnnrs Of the Cloud.

The colors of the sky at particular times
afford wonderfully good evidence. Not
only does rosy sunset presage fair wealth
er and rudy sunshine, but there are other
tints which speak with equal clearness and
accuracy. A bright yelloWish sky IN the
evening indicates wind pale yellow wet;
q neutral gray color constitutes q taYora-
BILE sign in the evening and an nnfayora-
bic one in the morning. The clouds are
full of meaning in thentelves: II their
forms are soft, underlined and feathery,
the weather will be fine. If the edges are
hard, sharp ard definite, it will be foul.
Generally speaking, any deep, unusual
lines betoken wind and rain, while the
more quiet and delicate tints bespeak far
weather.

Gen. Leslie Combs Relates a Chapter
nf Hfatorv

From the Lexington (Ky.) Press. 18th.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. Gen.
Leslie Combs, for striking a negro some
time ago, was tried in the Recorders Court
Yesterday, and the General was fined one
cent and costs. The old veteran on
appeared on his own behalf, and stated
to the Jury that he had lived eighty years
and that this was the first breach Of the
peace he had ever committed. In few
inmates he seated himself near reporter,
to whom he remarked that he was mistak
en- in that assertion, "for slxty-o -one years
ago to-day 1 committed q breach of the
peace against some Indian allies of the
English army, on the banks of the Au-
glaze river, near Its junction with the
Maumee and few miles from Fort De-
fance."
As it was the anniversary of that event
the General seemed impressed with the
| coincidence. and related the occurrence in
| full. He was then but nineteen years OF
age, in command of the spies of the army,
and had been sent on tour Of reconnoi-
sance. Taking with him twelve whites and
two Indians he started across the country

with their tomahaWks. With these they
built q rude raft and hoated themselve
across the stream. They at once pushes
on toward Fort Meigs. But the day afts
crossing the stream they were attacked b,
Indians, two of the fourteen men kille
and the others dispersed. The Geners
fell back in good order, and returned
his own command. Relating the incider
to Buffalo Bill, and his companions whit
, they were here, be told them that be ha
at that time done something of which the
could not boast-run fifty Indians half
/ hundred miles. "But," he added, 81 wi
5 in front and they were following me-"

e only breaches of the peace he has commi

: years life.
