A COMPANY composed Of French artists
and Philadelphia capitalists has been
formed to transport to Philadelphia for ex'
hibition the splendid diorama Of the siege
of Paris. 1t is one Of the most perfect d.
Dramas in the world, and portions OF the
painting stand out so naturally from the
canvas as TO convey the impression to the
spectator that the objects themselves are
there, not a painted resemblance.

CULLMAN STATION.

The Hone Of a German Colony I'm
North AIabama-What They Have
Done I'm Two Years-EneOuraReme
for Immigrants.
CO. Giers, Esq, Of this city, paid a
visit last week to Cullman Station, Ger
man colony on the South and North road,
tbirty-tyO miles south Of Decatur, Ala. He
met with fattering reception by the In
habitants of the town, and was much
pleased with his visit. He gives us some
interesting points about the rise and pro-
press of the place. 1t has been only two
Veals since the first house at the settlement
was erected, but there are now nearly one
hundred buildings, including a furniture
factory that will 60 into operation this
week. There is also quite an extensive
vinegar manufacture in full blast.
In addition to this there are severa. manu-
factories of various kinds in successful
onaration, Land that sold for ten and
fifteen cents per acre when the settlement
was first established, now readily brings
from $3.50 to 500 per acre. Before the
establishment Of the colony, all the land it
now occupies paid the State only $3.50 in
taxes. while at present the annual amount
of uaxes collected is nearly 81, 100. The
colony is constantly on the increase, and
newcomers are rapidly filling up the
settlement. Preparations are being
made to manufacture large quantities
of VIM. This year they have had good
crops of an kinds of grain, and everything
is in a fourishiug condition.
While returning home Mr.. Giers met
party of immigra-ts at Decatur, on their way
to settle i'm tbe colony. Mr.. Cullman, the
founder of the settlement, is very ener-
getic man and does a great deal in the way
of helping the new settlers.
There is also a very flOurishiDg German
colony near Florence, Alabama. Our own
Safe could not do a better thing than en-
courage the immigration Of such people.

REDUCED HIS TERN.
Escape OF a Convict from the Capitol
Hill Force,

One Of the cOnviCtS r goTk on the Cap
itol grounds ramed brown made his es-
cape yesterday afternoon. The force was
engaged on the northeast slope Of the hill,
and the first known Of Browns flight was
the discovery Of a striped suit in the ditch.
The theory Of the guards is that he had
come out from the prison with these clothes
over another suit, or that some one snug
gled him a suit in which TO escape. Chase
was given, but without Oyertaking him,
as late as we could learn. There is a
standing reward of SIS for the recapture of
cOnvicis. Our information is that this con-
vict is the Andrew Brown who was sen
fenced by the Criminal Court of Davidson
county in May, 1874, to a term Of p years
upon conviction Of burglary and larceny in
two cases and larceny in a tn I'd case.

Catholic Church is opposed to the
free schools of the country, and 1t is .
patent fact that in the main, men,
bers of that body of Christians belong
10 the Democratic party. The Bureau
Of Education is . stumbling block in
their way, and the demands upon the
Democratic party from this source
must be needed. Itis not the education
and elevation of the colored people
which the Democratic party wants.
1t is either their determination % de.
manded by tho Southern White
League Democrats, or their degreda.
ton and reduction to Q menial condi-
ton by Northern Democratic, as being
alone consistent with white suprem-
acy. The party that would deny ed
ucation to the black man, cannot be
expected to have any peculiar love for
universal education to either white or
black, and this proves too true In the
practice Of the Democratic party. g

THAT little $500, ,OOO paid to the Dem
ocratic Congressman from Brooklyn,
N. Y, Schumacher by name, is by far
the largest sum paid to anybody. One
would inter that he was the general
huckster on the Democratic side of the
House for votes for the subsidy, else
he would not have had SO large sum
to handle. Schumacher, however, is
dumbfounded at the whole thing, and
don't remember anything about it,
There are two checks each for $50, 600,
which are produced and payable to hi.
order and similar transactions for q
smaller number of thousands, all bear
ing hia genuine signature, as he admits,
but not single ray of light illumines
his memory in regard to these transac
tions. His memory is an utter blank
90 far % 1t concerns these checks, and
he can't remember thing about them
Now this is indeed a very bad fea.
ture of the case. OF course the re.
ccption of the money was quite bad
enough. but when . man under the SO
iemnities Of an oath says he don't re.
member one thing about checks fol
these large sums which he confesse,
bears his genuine signature-the cas-,
becomes doubly fearful. Schumacher !,
now . Democratic member of Con
gress. We suggest that man of sucl
IN internal short memory is not fit tc
do business for himself even, let alone
doing business for the public.
This subsidy investigation Is no
banning out largely to the comfort o
Democracy. The party ought to star
