AT Lunen, in Prussian Westphalia, the
other day, some wOrkmen got drunk and
thought they would perpetrate joke. So
they took a halfwitted fellow, and having
partly disrObed him, bound him tightly in
straw, which they had previously satured
with petroleum and tar. This they set
on fire, and then nearly expired with
laughter at the poor wretch's antics. He
is dead now, and two Of his prosecutors are
in Jail awaiting trial for their brutality.

VIce-President Wilson and His Party's
Prospects.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Vice-President Wilson talks eloomily of
the prospects Of the Republican party, I'M
less the Administration programme is
changed. He says that in the last. Presi-
Denial election the Republican party OBJ
tanned hundreds Of thousands Of votes up
on sufiesance merely, being the votes Of
those who were discOntented, but willing
to give the Republican party, another trial.
1t became necessary to modify the policy
Of the Government, and TO adopt a policy
Of retTenGnment and reform in order TO re-
tain this element of strength. He thought
that all the great issues upon which the
Republican party had acquired strength
were in the past. These views, Mr.. Viii
son said, he had communicated years ago
TO the President. He thought the RepUb-
hcan party could win a victory in 1876, but
it must be by a complete change of its
present policy. The appointment Of a
number Of ex-CongreSsmen TO prominent
positions, Mr.. Wilson regarded as a deplOr-
able spectacle. lie thought that these were
the very last men to be cared for, and that
they ought TO 90 home and endeavor to
work their way back to the positions they
had lost.

The SCHOONER FLORIDA.
The CanaFd az 10 Ths Fate of her Crew
Finally Disposed Of-A Romance o.
the Period Knocked into ri.

LOUISVILLE, August 7.-SOme weeks
weeks since an article from a New Or.
leans paper was extensively published
throughout the country to the effect that
the crew Of the schooner Florida, which
sailed for California from New Orleans
in 1649, and supposed to be lost with all
on board, had been discovered on an
island in the Southern Pacific by an En-
glish vessel which had been driven thith.
eT by continued storms. The crew stated
that the Florida had been wrecked on this
uniUhabited island tWenty-siX years ago,
and that in the interval they have not
seen human face; they declined, how
ever, TO leave the island, having estab-
lished themselves in comparative COM
foEt. TIE narrative was said to have
created great lament among the surviv-
ing relatives of the crew, and an effort
was stated to be on foot to fit out vessel
which should visit the island. The
Courier Journal will publish an inter-
view with gentleman tomorrow, who
was living in Valparaiso, Chill, in 1S49
He says the Florida put into that port,
and that there was a famine at that
time in the Chillan penal settlement,
and the cOnvicts boarded her and
massacred all Of the crew except
q young man named Marcum, and
made sail for the main land. On her
way she was recaptured by q Chilian
war vessel end brought into Valparaiso,
where the COJtTieT-JOGiTRGpS informant
got the above details from Marcum's
own lips. Msrcum, whose psreuts ale
still living ia Versatile ca, Kentucky, pro-
ceeded to California, where he soon
after died Of smallpox at Placerville in
that State. The British steamer Thetis
had first seen the Florida after her cap
ture by the cOnviCts, and gave the in
formation to the Chilisn authorities,
which led them to send out the vessel
which brought her back into port. A
revolution was in progress in Chill at
the time, and the records of the event
may be lost, but the full details were on
the lOg-boOk of the Thetis, which may
